'By the way… WHY IN THE THE NAME OF FU*KING HELL IS MY AX TRYING TO KILL ME?' Arvin screamed.

{IDIOT! That is an inanimate object. It was not trying to kill you.} ​​

'Then the how the f**k it came flying towards me?'

{There are various ways to do that. My money is on the rune magic.}

'Could you please elaborate?'

{When you would learn about runes in the future then you will know.}

'….'

{What?}

'So this your answer to everything huh?'

{….}

'Forget it… Can you at least tell me how this works?'

{That ax recognizes you as his master. So whenever you will call for it with your mind, it will come flying towards you.}

'Woah… Then does that means that it will never get lost?'

{Yes. But go throwing your ax just anywhere. Some places in Yggdrasil could make that rune malfunction.}

'Got it.'

{Now we should head back now. There is still time left until night comes. So let's something good for tonight's dinner.}

'Sure.'

...

Arvin then hunted a deer that day. It was an easy task for Arvin considering his level and all. As Arin worked in the butcher shop, he knew how to clean the animal and take out its pelt. So after completely cutting down the deer into pieces, he stored the excessive amount of deer in his inventory and started preparing the rest for dinner.

For Arvin, this was their first time eating exotic animals. He only had chicken back on earth. But he had to say, after grilling the juicy tendons of the deer, on fire, Arvin fell in love with its meat. The meat of the deer was so tender and so juicy that he could just get lost in its taste. Arvin closed his eyes and enjoyed his dinner to the fullest…

{Now that you had your dinner, could we now talk about other matters?} Lopt asked Arvin

'What other matters?'

{Quests. About the quests.}

'Yes. The quests. Now that I have some strength, I should try doing quests.'

{Yes. Doing the quest not will make you stronger but will also help you gain some powerful items which could come in handy.}

'Cool…. Hey, wait a minute! I completed the quest where I had to make Alman pay.'

{Yes. Now we had to complete two more quests to go.}

'No… I didn't get any reward for the quest.'

{Idiot you got… Wait a minute, you are correct. You didn't get any reward.}

'That was I said. So why didn't I got any rewards?'

{You are asking me?}

'Is there anyone else here whom I should ask?'

{Well… I don't know. I am not connected to the main server now, so I don't why you didn't get any.}

'…..'

{What should we do?}

'You are pulling my leg right?'

{Yes… LOL. Of course, I am pulling your leg…} Lopt said nervously. After all, he had no idea why this was happening…

'So what is my rewards.'

{Check your….. Inventory …..Yes, check your inventory….} Lopt said hoping that due to some kind of bug the notification of rewards was not received by Arvin. And like others, his rewards would be stored in his inventory…

Arvin accessed his status window and went to inventory from there. The layout of the inventory of the Mischief system was made out of small squares. And in that small squares, Arvin could store only one item. It didn't matter what is the size of the item. As there was an option to access items with just a thought of a brain, he didn't manually access the inventory until now. But now as he didn't know what he was looking for, he had to access it manually and skim through all the items in it…

There were many items stored there. A large number of things that were stored in his inventory were grains of different types that he stole from Alman a few weeks back. Then comes the books that he stole and then after that he got some personal items. As he was skimming to he did find some items that he didn't recognize…

The first item that Arvin didn't recognize was what looked like a metal bracelet or a cuff for one hand. It's very lengthy and had was made of shiny bronze. That metal bracelet had a circle in between while on either side there were Y-shaped metal bars. Arvin didn't have much was fashion sense, but if this thing does not benefit him, he is not wearing that piece of junk…

'What is this?'

{I don't know. But maybe this is your reward for completing Alman's quest.}Lopt said mysteriously. But he knew what this reward was…

'So…. What do I do with this?'

{That is a condom. You wear it on your little brother down there.}

'Huh? How? How the hell am I suppose to wear it anyway? And why the hell will I need a condom?'

{You don't know how to use or wear a condom?}

'No… I know that. I attended the se* education class… But this thing… Wait… You are pulling my leg aren't you?'

{*hahaha*…. Took you long enough….*hahaha*}

'Jerk.'

Then Arvin noticed straps at the other end of the bracelet. Seeing the sizes of those straps gave Arvin a feeling that they may wored on his hands. With that thought, he strapped that metal bracelet in his left hand. After he strapped it, nothing happened. Arvin racked his brain and thought maybe to activate this he just need mana or something…

But when Arvin thought about it, suddenly the circle increased in length while the Y-shaped poles also increased in size. After the poles attained a certain height, they rotated around that circle unfolding the pieced of metal inside them. And in just a sec a full-grown round shield appeared on Arvin's left hand. As Arvin saw that he was left flabbergasted…

'AWESOME!!!!' Arvin screamed.

{Well that is something…} Lopt said as he was also impressed by the shield.

'I know!!! This is just awesome. And did you see how it… it …. Grew on my arm…. I mean it is …. Awesome…'

{You seemed impressed…}

'Well, I am.' Arvin said.

{Good. This shield is called Guardian Shield. I put it on the prizes. Glad you like it…}

'It is awesome Lopt. I mean…. Eh….. Wait. What it is called?'

{Guardian Shield.}

'The f**k?.... WHAT IN THE NAME OF ACTUAL F**K?' Arvin screamed with anger.

Arvin then accessed his status menu again. There he straight went towards his quests. And to his surprise, there was only one quest available on his quest menu. That quest was the race to the top quest that was unavailable to him.

'What the f**k is happening right now?'

{What happened?}

'You don't know?'

{Do I sound like that I know?}

'There was a quest where I have to make a name for myself on the 1st floor. The reward for completing that quest was this shield and ice magic.'

{Yet you have this shield now… How the hell did this happen?}

'I don't know. Did Alman figure it out that the persona of Lopt, the genius HTC was cover for me?'

{Seems that way.}

'But how did he found out?'

{I don't know… Maybe you f**ked up somewhere in your planning.}

'Yeah… It seems that way.'

{Well now this changes everything. Now that you have no quests to complete on this floor, then you should just ascend and make some distance between you and Alman.}

'Yeah…'

{That yeah didn't sound like a happy yeah…}

'Of course, it didn't. I was looking forward to ice magic.'

{Well you will another opportunities.}

'Yeah maybe…'

{Yeah…. Hey, wait. If this reward is from the 'making your name' quest, then what did you get from the 'making Alman pay' quest?}

'That is a very good question.' Arvin said and then he started looking in his inventory yet again…

............................................

In HTC Branch in Arcane city…

"Can you believe this?" A middle-aged man said while looking at a poster. That poster had a drawn photo of Arvin when he had a burn scar on his face. That poster said that Arvin was wanted by the Alman alive. And the person who can find him will get a reward of 500 gold coins for it. In this recession due to the war, it was very generous and price.

"Yeah. But it is nothing compared to this one." An old-aged man, said while looking at another poster. That poster was also of Arvin. It was also a drawn photo of Arvin. But the different thing about this poster was that this poster had a photo of Arvin after he drank his magical potion. After drinking the magical potion Arvin became more handsome than before. So it was very hard to tell that both these posters are of the same man.

The other poster had the price of 1000 gold coins for his whereabouts. While the first poster was given out by Alman this poster was given out by the Cullen family. And this poster said that he wanted him alive…
