Upon going through the portal and coming back to their territory, Reign and the others went back to their building. Not only were they going to check out the Rank A items they had received but the mysterious item boxes needed to be opened, such boxes didn't have any color or rank attribute to them and they could actually drop any type and rank of item that existed.

Of course, the chance of someone receiving a Rank S or higher item was abysmally low, but they had the blessed child of luck on their side. With Beast opening a chest there was no telling what might happen, so far he had never received anything that wasn't of a good rank, and perhaps he would be able to get a powerful item this time as well.

Of course, there was also the question of what to use the Free territory upgrade token for as well, if they were going to even use it. They were going to take control over the town soon and there would be no reason for them to continue staying underground, if they couldn't move the buildings from here then that would simply be a waste.

The first thing the party did after entering their living room was to take out the three Rank A items. A pair of dark green gloves that gave an ominous light were on the table next to a ring that had a blood-red colored gem embedded into it. The gloves and the ring both exuded a dark and evil aura as the party stared at them. Next to the table however was a weapon that Tank was staring at with fervour, a 1.6-meter long axe could be seen.

It was a Labrys (double-sided axe ), the blade itself was about 2cm at its base before of course getting thinner towards the edge. The metal of the blade looked old and worn out as many cracks could be seen on it, upon further inspection however one could be able to see a dim orange glow coming out of the cracks.

The handle of the axe was about 3cm thick and it was made of dark-brown wood that was further strengthened by metal that was somehow put on it. There were no screws or nails that were holding the metal and wood together, it looked like it was simply put on there but looked incredibly firm. The base of the wooden handle was of course wrapped in leather that felt incredibly nice to the touch.

Tank was already holding the axe and marveling at it before even reading its description. The axe gave off an incredibly dominating feeling and Tank felt as if he could decimate anything in front of him with it.

"Put it down man, let's check all the items out first." Shadow put his hand on Tank's shoulder and woke him up from his stupor. Tank simply smiles embarrassedly before putting the axe down, he had wanted to change his weapon for a long time, not because the scythe wasn't powerful but because it was simply not well suited for him. The power-up it gave was immense but other than that it wasn't that good as he couldn't use it to its fullest with his low proficiency.

They all sit down before looking at the descriptions of the three items in front of them.

[ Rank A Soulless Arms of the Deceiver ]

Def: 50

Spirit + 4

Willpower + 2

Strength + 2

Agility + 2

Description: A pair of leather gloves that were created from the hide of a powerful monster. The strong and resilient leather was soaked in a mystical concoction that further reinforced the gloves while the core of the monster was split in two and embedded in the gloves. Not only can the gloves offer good protection without hampering the fluidity of the hand motions. Splitting the core into two pieces would usually weaken the full power, but a masterful array was created on the gloves that not only linked the two cores together in order not to lose power but even reinforced them a bit. The user can activate the power of the monster core once per day, the cores would activate the skill that made the monster famous and cast an illusion in order to confuse nearby monsters. Not only would the monsters be too confused to fight the user but they would also attack each other for a period of time.

[ Rank A Savage Ring ]

Strength + 12

Agility + 8

Endurance + 3

Vitality + 3

Description: A ring created for the sole purpose of increasing the stats of the wielder. A core of a monster was compacted and embedded on top of it, unfortunately, thanks to the bad skills of the person in charge of compacting it, the core had lost most of its power and could only exhibit a meagre amount when activated. Upon activating the power of the core the user would gain a further increase of the stats that the ring naturally enhanced.

[ Rank A Axe of Obliteration ]

Attack: 100

Strength + 6

Endurance + 3

Vitality + 3

Description: An axe that was once used by a mighty emperor of a long-forgotten dynasty. The emperor was known by all on his home planet for his ferociousness and brutality. Over a thousand foes had been slain by his powerful axe during his many years of wars and conquest and not even once was the emperor defeated. Not only was the axe created with precious and powerful materials but the essence of the emperor's power had seeped into it after so long. The wielder of the axe can use the power once per day and deliver an incredible attack that could once split open the sky. The more time the wielder fought with the axe to more powerful the connection between the two would become and maybe the axe could reclaim its past glory. A warning must be given to the wielder however as the powerful essence of the emperor still lingered, all that used it would periodically be tested by the essence and if they were not considered worthy then the axe would become useless to them as they could no longer tap into the power left behind in it.

"Mine!" Tank took the axe before rubbing his cheek against the giant rough blade of the axe. The others either gave a long sigh of embarrassment or facepalmed after looking at the weird sight. Tank quickly starts swinging the axe around with a loving face before stopping.

"Alright, I just want to know why someone put two blades on it, like, that's just not necessary and it feels a bit weird when swinging the damn thing."

"It does look cool though." Shadow shrugged his shoulder as he replied.

"Well yeah, but still, this isn't a fantasy game, it's a real-life game, this isn't necessary!" Tank lamented as he looked at his axe with a sad face, he was a bit annoyed by the fact that the axe was double-sided because looks didn't really matter that much when it came to fighting. Using an axe during battle was simple, simply swing it side to side or chop it down, the axe being double-sided simply made that a bit more difficult and added no reasonable function to it.

"I mean, it's still easier for you to use compared to the scythe right?" Reign added from the side as Tank nodded at him.

"Definitely, this is what I'm best at using, after all, scythes look cool, I'm not bad with maces, but an axe is what I can use the best after all."

"Alright now, who gets the other items?" Wolf suddenly interrupts them before everyone started looking at the gloves and ring seriously. In the end, the gloves went to Shadow, with his stealth he could use the skill the gloves had to their fullest after all.

As for the ring, after a bit of thinking they decided to give it to Beast, the latter was still wearing rank C jewelry and the added stats would definitely help him out. He took the ring after the others spent a bit of time persuading him as he believed that Reign would be best suited for it, the latter would have none of it and simply threw the ring at him.

"Don't worry about me, my ability gives me a bunch of added stats so I'm fine."

"Alright, thank you, guys."

"Now, let's open the boxes!" Shadow excitedly says. Everyone laughed a bit after seeing his excited face as it was the same every single time. He would be the most excited of them all by the prospect of getting a powerful new item, but usually, he would receive something that he and the others really didn't need.

Everybody took the boxes out and opened them, as expected there was nothing that was seemingly good from them. Everyone managed to either get rank C or rank B items and for them right now those were not that useful.

Suddenly there was a splendid light coming off from Beast's box as everyone stared in awe.historical

[ Congratulations to the player for receiving a Rank S item]

"Fuck!"
