Chapter 14 - Chapter 14 - Runes

"Trouble is you think you have time." - Unknown.

Every time I stand on the rim admiring the stars, I enlighten myself to do better tomorrow. But I'm intrigued to know: does tomorrow exist? Or are the words themselves hollow? Maybe life will never be the same again, and neither will tomorrow. 'I'll do it tomorrow?' is commonly used to avoid responsibility. Since tomorrow is not guaranteed, take action now. However, before beginning any job, consider categorizing it into two different groups: beneficial and detrimental. If it's advantageous to work for others, do it right now. But if it's dreadful, give it a day or two. Perhaps the thought of performing an illicit job fades, and your perspective shifts. Enough of the psychological knowledge, Let's move ahead with the story.

Yeol reached level 210 by completing all events. She spotted ten purple rune boxes and nine fatigue portions in her backpack as she was preparing to sign out at the end of the day. It was easy for her to grasp the fatigue portion of the course, but she had no idea how the rune system worked. NPC Xu was the only one who could explain the situation to Yeol. She visited him before logging out.

"Is NPC Xu present?" Yeol remarked this while knocking on his cave's door.

"I'm sorry, Yeol, but NPC Xu has yet to return from the expedition. If you have any questions, please let me know, "NPC Fairy Lu expressed disappointment.

"Yes, Ms. Lu. I'd want to learn more about the Rune system. Also, when will NPC Xu return? "Yeol gave a concerned expression.

"I'm not sure when he'll return. Anyway, let's talk about the rune system. Pay close attention. Because the rune system is rather difficult to grasp, albeit the most significant."

"Sure, go on, I'm all ears," Yeol answered enthusiastically.

"All right, then, let's get started. Rune is reminiscent of mythical circles in various shapes due to the placement of several runes in a circle-shaped art form. The rune system is available in the menu option at the bottom-left corner. Runes, like gears, have five different colors. There are several runes for various abilities. But first, let's look at the color possibilities available in the runes. Later, I'll delve into the distinct stats runes relate.

The level of the Green Rune is the lowest. The blue, purple, and yellow runes came next. A rare and valuable collection of runes are red runes, which are only obtainable by P2W players. If you are a F2P, you may get access to orange runes. Orange runes are uncommon, but if you're lucky, you can get them from the rune treasure hunt." said Fairy Lu.

Yeol nodded in accord, "I understood this part."

"Now, let's dive deeper into the specifics of the various runes.

There is a connection between all the rune locations utilizing a circle. The three rune circles you have access to now will grow as you progress, and more will become available. Once all runes are unlocked, you can equip eight runes at once. There are twelve runes in all. Therefore, you must decide which one to use based on your build." described the Fairy Lu.

"I see," Yeol said solemnly, "now what are those twelve runes and their stats?"

"I want to tell you about the runes you can combine to create a strong construct before we go on. I will explain each of the runes in detail as we continue. There is the possibility of leveling these runes too. Runes' level can increase up to 50.

The greater your rune level, the more DMG you can deal with the target. There are no blue or green hues in this rune. Purple, yellow, orange, or red is the only ones.

Purple - 15%

Yellow - 20%

Orange - 30%

Red - 50%

You would also need the rune shards from the Rune treasure hunt to combine these runes. You'd get 50 after one round of treasure hunting. One time requires a dragon jade which you can buy from the shop for 40 Ingots. Nevertheless, free players can use a free attempt every 32 hours. Green and blue runes cannot be combined owing to their poor grade. Purple runes, on the other hand, maybe consolidated with 350rune shards. Correspondingly, yellow runes require 500, while combining orange runes requires 750shards. In a treasure hunt, you can also acquire 100 crystalized along with rune shards; these crystalized can exchange for rare orange runes at the rune store. Orange runes require 750 crystalized, yellow 400, and purple 200.
