《F Rank Dungeon King》The Legendary but Useless Weapon
Advertisement
Seneos made sure to pay only a brief visit to his apartment. The only reason he even went there in the first place, was to grab some useful tools to make sure he wouldn't die in the dungeon. The voices assured him that as the Overlord he wouldn't be in any troubles, yet he didn't really feel like going in blindly and naked as a babe.
His apartment was fairly luxurious, the price wasn't only justified by the location of the building after all. It was big and had a spare room for friends. The kitchen was as modern as they got, though his living room felt a bit empty. He only had a basic black leather couch and a huge television on a table.
His room though was filled to the brim. He had two huge wardrobes and many desks containing his stuff. Now Seneos wasn't a very passionate man, he didn't have anything useless. Except for a few figures that laid on a small desk beside his king-sized bed. He liked his comfort.
The figures weren't of fictional characters however, they were made in the image of famous hunters that Seneos looked up to. It was more accurate to say that he once looked up to them.
They were the popular hunters of his childhood when he still had a head full of dreams. He had kept them simply because they came of a time he couldn't remember. He had spent countless hours observing them, in hope of memories coming back to him.
The same could be said about the first thing he had grabbed once he entered the room. He had no troubles lifting it, but he still wasn't strong enough to swing it around with relative ease. He made a few tentative swings with it and smiled fondly.
The thing in his hand was a long golden staff with a curved black blade at the end. It was called a Guandao. The familiar red ribbon the weapon should have was a bit special on this one. There were three ribbons, each of them of a vibrant blood red, attached to the three spikes on the spine of the blade.
Seneos could hear the voices hum behind him.
"Impressive. I can feel the power of this weapon....In fact, I can feel a lot from it. A flow of information regarding the weapon is flowing through me right now." The voices said, recoiling in surprise.

Seneos turned in the direction of the voices and frowned.
"What do you mean by that ? I don't feel anything." He asked, glancing at the mighty black blade.
"It's....It's strange. A set of information regarding the weapon reached me. I can tell it's rank, it's type, it's name....I can even see the name of it's master, that being you Overlord." The voices marvelled at this discovery, prompting Sen to smile excitedly.
"Really ?! Go on, tell me what you have." He exclaimed, clutching the weapon's handle in his hands.
"Hmmm...Oh, veryyyyyy interesting." The voices continued to hum in approval as it seemingly went through the information it possessed.
"...I only just noticed, but you have a really weird speech pattern. I never heard anyone speak like that. You drag on syllables that nobody drags on, and your constant humming makes everything you say sound like you are singing, but not really." Seneos remarked.
"Nevermind that, Overlord. I have finished skimming over the information received. It appears that this weapon is of the S Rank, and even possesses amazing abilities of the B and A Ranks, though I am not able to get precise information on what those abilities are. As for the name, it is called the Fake Fengxian. That is a name that I possess in my data bank. Lu Bu, a legendary warlord of China." The feminine voice sounded almost happy at having that information, perhaps because it was initially annoyed at how it had lost a lot of data in it's creation's process.
Seneos took a step back as soon as he heard the name. His bulging eyes traced over the lithe form of the weapon as he gulped.
"Lu Bu.....Someone made a fake Fengxian, and I had it in my apartment all this time...This is bad, this is really bad. If anyone knows I have an S rank weapon, I'll get killed before I can even try to run !" Seneos freaked out, suddenly trying to hide the weapon.
"Hmmm..Overlord ? Weren't you about to take this weapon with you ? Also, why didn't you sell it ? You cannot use any of it's abilities and you aren't even trained enough to fight well with it. You can only use it as some sort of huge broom with a pointy end, to swat enemies away. It would fetch a lot of money I reckon." The voices questioned Seneos who immediately shook his head.

"Absolutely not ! That is the worst idea ever ! I might not know a lot about this hunter society, especially the high sphere of it, but I know enough to not get myself killed so easily. High Ranks Hunters are highly powerful and also highly sought after. The same can be said about high rank equipment, relics, and materials of all sorts. Even if I was to sell it, people would prefer to kill me and take it from my cold corpse. This isn't a pink world where everyone lives happily. Hunters have killed people for less than that, I would know that trust me. When I am not sleeping, drinking or in dungeons, I am watching TV. I-I'll decide what to do with this thing later. " Seneos explained. The voices hummed once more, getting closer and closer to the weapon, as if the being was observing it.
"Well then, I believe you won't be able to take it out. So shouldn't we go to the dungeon now ?" It asked him, making him jump back a little due to how close it was.
"Yeah, taking It with me could be a bad idea. I'm just gonna grab some potions and we can go. Just the potions should be enough for the wolves If I take them one by one, they shouldn't inflict too much damage to me. It's good that I take some high paying porter jobs from time to time. Speaking about that, my pay for the last time should've come in already." Sen said before taking out his phone. He opened the application for his bank and smiled once he saw that the pay had indeed arrived. Four hundred thousand Won wasn't that big of an amount for many hunters, but it helped Seneos a lot. The money he had gotten from selling his house only went towards rent and groceries so he couldn't buy equipment or tools with it.
He snatched up the potions from the little medicine cabinet of his bathroom and went towards his wardrobe.
"I usually don't wear that armor, since it's the only I have, but today I guess I'll have to. " He whispered as he searched through the piles of clothes. His room wasn't a mess, but the same couldn't be said about his wardrobes.
He quickly found the armor he had been looking and started to put it on, until his cheeks went slightly pink.
"I...I kinda forgot you could see me...You don't have a gender right ? " He asked the being who hummed in response. He took this as a no and finished putting the armor on. It wasn't actually armor, but everything that was enchanted was called like that, even if it was a pair of trousers with a random shirt. People often called them outfits, not really minding the enchanted part, but Seneos always noted the difference between armor and some basic clothing.
His outfit was a simple set of grey tight pants with some grey flannel shirt. The actual armor part came in the form of a white overcoat with a smoking skull on the back. It was the logo of a famous company that Seneos liked due to their very urban 'armors'. He never liked wearing actual metal armors, even though most of them were much better.
Now dressed, Sen strapped his dagger to his hip once again and did the same with a small pouch containing his potions.
"Now that I think about it....Since you want me to go back inside the dungeon, it means that even though I conquered, it is still active. I will ignore this bizarre fact since I am wondering about something else...How am I supposed to actually enter it ? The KHG must have either sent a team of hunters inside or created a perimeter around the whole area while analyzing the dungeon." Seneos asked.
"Hmmm.....According to my data, and according to the fact that you are quite weak, it appears that you'll be able to sneak through the guards. Is that a good plan for you, Overlord ?" It answered.
The only thing it got in return was a loud gulp followed by a shaky response.
"N-No.....But yes, I guess ?"

8 114Humans Are Evil (completed)
A world of magic, where empires rise and fall, and where civilization is never safe from the perpetual menace of the monsters that roam the land. In this volatile landscape Fera is reborn and must adapt to this new and ever-changing world. She will grasp at whatever opportunities she finds to escape her unfortunate birth as an orphan. Either excelling, or wallowing in self-pity, Fera will question if this world of magic was as fantastical as she initially thought. Note: The story is technically a litRPG, but much less like a game and more akin to real life, for example obtaining a class does not give free skills to the individual, it’s the other way around! Skills are what unlock your class, so an individual who learns magic skills will unlock mage classes, classes then provide passive buffs and stats, in my opinion this makes everything feel more earned so that the power levels in the world are more natural, rather than every single random person being a powerhouse.
