Chapter 170 - Lucifer's Ancient Diary



[You bought Lucifer’s memory shards 15x]

[Total price 7,500 LSC]

[Proceed?]

“Yes.”

Hiro was in a marketplace and stood face to face with Nyx, who became a helper as usual. The android smiled with his lips only the size of a line.

[Your payment has been received]

[You have obtained Lucifer’s memory shards 15x]

“Nice. Next is the second step.”

After the celebration party that ended in the morning, Hiro was finally able to go back to being alone again. He woke up earlier than other guild members, so he could sneak away to try out one of the walkthrough Yuujin had given him.

[Stage 1 Legendary Weapon Blood-Eater Vampire]

In order to upgrade his weapon so that it could become as powerful as when he used it during the Closed-Beta Test, Hiro had to do the Legendary Weapon upgrade quest, which consisted of five stages.

Stage 1 was the easiest. The requirement written by Yuujin to complete stage 1 successfully was Hiro needed to have a minimum battle rating of 100,000 with STR and AGI above 100 points and he had to use a set of armour that focused on increasing the defense.

Hiro left the marketplace in the Underworld City because the item he had just bought was only available in that place. He then went out of the city area of ​​the Underworld City to look for hidden NPCs that were somewhere outside that area.

Unlike other cities, which mostly always had forests outside the city area, the Underworld City only had rocks that form hills and valleys. The ground, which was only made of reddish-coloured stone, looked cracked as if there had never been water in that place.

Not very pleasing to the eye.

After passing through three rows of hills, as written in the notebook Yuujin gave him, Hiro found a giant rift that stopped him from going through another rocky ground that stretched twenty meters in front of him. It was separated by a very deep chasm.

Stage 2 of a legendary weapon could be accessed by crossing the abyss. However, to go to that place, the players from the demon bloodline must have at least one wing to fly. Or they were also allowed to use an adult pet that could take them flying.

Hiro found an NPC he was looking for. A half-demon girl who had one wing intact, while the other was a broken wing. The girl stood in front of a rocky hill and stared blankly at the cliff.

“Hello, Lily!” Hiro greeted the NPC casually.

“Welcome, Player NightFall. Have a safe day from the wrath of the King of All Demons, Lucifer.”

Just saying hello didn’t trigger the legendary weapon stage 1 quest to come out. Hiro used the second method. He showed one of Lucifer’s memory shards in front of NPC Lily and waited for her reaction.

“Look what I have,” he said, trying to get the attention of NPC Lily, who didn’t blink her eyes even once. Her eyes were blank.

What Hiro had offered instantly made the girl look back at Hiro and the shard in his hand in turn.

“Lucifer’s memory shard?” Her tone changed to one of enthusiasm.

“Great! Where did you get it from? Is it for me?”

With Yuujin’s infallible walkthrough, Hiro knew what he had to do next.

“What will I get if I give it to you?”

NPC Lily smiled faintly, then crossed her arms in front of her chest.

“If you have 15 shards, I will give you a notebook that Lucifer wrote himself.” She spoke in a confident voice.

Without thinking, Hiro took out fifteen shards of Lucifer’s memory he had just bought a few minutes ago, and he gave them all to NPC Lily.

“Wow! You really have it! Are you really interested in learning about Lucifer’s powers?” His eyes were sparkling with vigour. And like an ordinary girl who was very happy after getting a gift from someone, NPC Lily jumped up and down with joy.

“Give me the book you had promised.” Hiro gave the 15 shards to NPC Lily and in return, NPC Lily brought out a very old-looking book. The girl gave it to Hiro at the same time.

Ding!

[You have obtained Lucifer’s ancient diary]

“Thank you. It is nice to do business with you.”

The Walkthrough written by Yuujin this time was not so detailed, as if the man had never tried it himself. For stage 1, Yuujin only provided information until he got a diary from NPC Lily. Next, he only added a small note in the form of scribbles.

‘Just follow what Lucifer wrote.’

Hiro immediately read the contents of the book he had just received. The book was, of course, written on full pages with the letters that couldn’t be read with normal eyes.

[Demon’s Eyes]

[Dear Diary, today I have captured a very famous Dwarf and imprisoned him in a dungeon. I asked him to create an invincible strongest sword that could contain some of the power of my curse without breaking the vessel. Whatever happens, he must finish it or he will rot forever underground until the day he loses his breath.]

Next page…

[Dear Diary, after 365 days of non-stop work, finally the sword I dreamed of was born. The power of my curse has been successfully sealed within it, and the sword will continue to suck the blood of anyone, regardless of their race. However, it seems that the blade is still not perfect. I have to find a Dwarf who inherited the swordsmith’s blood and ask him to refine it.]

Ding!

[You have unlocked a special quest]

[Story of Blood-Eater Vampire Stage 1]

“Here we go.”

[This quest can only be accessed if the player is the owner of the Blood-Eater Vampire (Greatsword)]

[If the player does not have the weapon, this quest can be sold in the marketplace]

[Please confirm if you have Blood-Eater Vampire on your hands]

“How?”

[Bleed your arm and let Blood-Eater Vampire absorb your blood. After that, pat the blade on this page]

“Ahhh—bleed myself again, huh? Who wrote this story? Is he promoting self-harm?”

Hiro had no other choice but to do as the system said. He placed the book on a high rock before using the blade of his sword to cut the surface of his own left hand until it bled. Enough blood to be absorbed by the sword.

He was a bit used to the pain now.

Ding!

[You have been confirmed as the owner of the Blood-Eater Vampire (Greatswords)]

No more notifications appeared, but suddenly the diary sheet he was holding moved by itself even though there was no strong wind blowing in that place.

The page shifted to a blank sheet that slowly filled itself with black ink.

Drawing a map that looked very familiar to Hiro.

Map of Vul Faldur City.
