He found a potion to increase luck, but it only had one drop, which was extremely costly. The description said that the probability of increasing luck depended on luck itself. If the ratings were below zero, the luck would only be able to reach a stable value, and after that, the person was responsible for their destiny.
So typically, even if his host invests a lot of Crana, he might only reach zero, and things would not be fruitful. Shane wanted to laugh and cry at the same time after reading this. He sighed and closed the tab. If his host had that much Crana to waste, he might have suggested this, but seeing the luck factor already negative, he didn't think that day would come anytime soon where his host would have money to waste.
So he discarded this idea and opened his mouth, "Ahem, did you buy it?"
"Yes!" Noah was particularly excited as he raised his hand, holding a sword. "This weapon is so cool! I never thought I would end up holding a sword one day! Am I looking like those protagonists?"
The host waved it slightly up and down as the smile on his face widened., "This is pretty light! I used to think the weapons would be heavier than this."
Shane ignored his gullible host and opened the radar section. Just then, the expression on his face changed abruptly as he spoke, "Careful! Behind you!"
Noah tilted his head and turned around slowly, only to see a giant paw with sharp nails flinging at his body. His entire body froze as the sword fell to the ground. Before waking up from his frozen state, his whole body was thrown to the other side of the corridor. Even though it was Noah's great fortune that he didn't hit a wall, he still suffered from a severe blow.
He could hear his bones cracking as his body fell to the ground. Shane was also not stable at this moment as he felt severe pain in his chest as if it were his bones that had cracked all of a sudden. His body fell to his knees in the dark space as he covered his chest with his hand. His face was covered with cold sweat as he took deep breaths.
Then he opened his mouth as a strained voice filled Noah's ears, "Host, drink the healing potion and pick up the damn sword!"
Noah groaned as he turned his face toward the monster that had attacked him from behind. It was a big wolf-like animal that walked on his two hind legs, almost like a human being covered with fur and sharp nails with a big wolf head.
"W-What the…." Noah only stared at the monster, frozen in shock. He couldn't move his limbs as the monster walked slowly and stood right in front of him, staring at him with hungry eyes.
Shane's heart gripped with anxiety. He took a deep breath to calm himself down and said, "I cannot take control of your body for forty minutes more. So please, do me a favor and get up!"
Noah seemed like he hadn't heard it. Rather, he almost looked like a dead person with his face as pale as a white sheet of paper. Shane couldn't help but curse under his breath. He opened the tools section and glanced at the available options that he could use to save his stupid host.
He finally ended up noticing something worthwhile.
He could even purchase the tool to control his host's body, but at five hundred Crana peruse. So, he would have to invest so much money for a mere ten seconds of control.
Shane gritted his teeth and paid the money to purchase the tool. A prompt appeared in front of his eyes,
[Do you want to use the purchased tool?]
He didn't think twice before selecting the yes option. After all, if he didn't act quickly, this frozen host would get killed, and he might have to face severe punishment later. He had no curiosity to know what was stored for him if he were to fail this task.
After purchasing the package, he felt his consciousness covering up the entire body as he moved his hands. The monster was about to attack with his giant paws again as Shane dodged it. He then carefully looked at the monster in front of his eyes.
This thing was no more than two heads higher than him, but it was still smaller as compared to the monsters he had seen in the past. To be honest, this monster wasn't even a little bit frightening. Shane had seen a lot of scary beings in herds at that.
He stared at the monster for half a second before he pulled out a lower-grade sword from his inventory. He didn't even bother seeing the name of the weapon he was using as he flung it toward the monster while dodging the paw attack at the same time.
The sword hit the wolf's head simultaneously, severing it from the body. It rolled to the ground until it reached Shane's feet. He stared at that thing for a while before putting his sword in his inventory as the control returned to his host.
The first thing that Noah did was yell at his system, "You could have left that treasure of the sword for me! I wouldn't have to go through so much trouble in this dungeon."
He paused, "Wait a minute. I already have a weapon from the store! Why didn't you notify me of the task being finished?!
Shane's headache worsened as he took a deep breath and said, "You have to find the weapon for yourself from the outside. It should be added to your karma, not mine! Plus, even if I left the weapon here, you can't pass this task until you find the treasure yourself!
"I can only help you locate the place of that weapon! Any more questions?"
Noah said nothing as he grumbled under his breath. He gave his system a million curses in his mind as he walked forward without looking back.
Shane shook his head and looked at the radar, only to watch the screen with widened eyes. He opened his mouth and said in a strained tone, "Host, there's a herd of monsters twenty steps away. What do you want to do?"
