Reincarnated Avatar; I got 2 SSS-Rank Unique Skills
Chapter 196: Holiday [8]

Chapter 196: Holiday [8]

Lord Doom struck the killing blow to the Forgotten King.

As the SSS-Rank dungeon final boss faded into motes of light, there was a brief flash of light, and then the victory cutscene.

BZZZ!

The throne shattered.

The sky above the Grand Monastery opened, for the first time in eternity. Light cascaded down, burning away the ash.

Each member of the 20-man party was granted a Title of Remembrance, even those who died during the raid that were revived by the dungeon algorithm after the Forgotten King fell.

A choir of distant voices played, and the world above remembered again.

But that was not the end, because a golden ring chimes once.

And then, a system alert echoes across the player interface.

DING!

...

[Your raid party have been rewarded with a Personalized Cutscene: Memory Relic!]

~----~

At the center of the platform, an ancient, half-broken bell rings once more; quiet, intimate. Each player walks forward and touches it.

And then, a unique cutscene plays for each individual, tied to their journey and trails in the dungeon, and how they interacted with the lore.

After this, they each receive a memory relic that forms into their hands, one of a kind accessories that embody the personal legacy of the dungeon.

Unlike the guaranteed rewards that were SSS-Rank though, the memory relics are S-ranked items and equipment.

And then, it finally stopped raining rewards.

Silence.

After a few seconds of silence, the 20-man team slowly recovers and regroups. Some check their loot in stunned silence. Others danced, shout, or slump back in disbelief.

The raid may have seemed like a walk in the park, but it was anything but that. They only conquered it because they were focused and determined when it mattered.

As for the rewards? They were blown away.

Till date even in the English Pro Alliance, SSS-Rank equipment were a rarity in the game, exclusive stuff. To get even one of them for a miracle.

And yet, conquering the SSS-Rank dungeon rewarded them with at least 1 SSS-Rank equipment each.

Noah stood at the front, arms crossed, a small grin tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Right, alright, now to the real boss fight. RNG".

Genevieve spoke up. "Guys, let’s just roll respectfully, okay? No need for..."

"Respectfully?" Benjamin interrupted her with a grin on his face. "I’ve already sacrificed two cooldowns and my dignity. I deserve something shiny, you know".

Genevieve glowered.

Aria waved her arms dismissively. "You only lost your dignity when you called your fireball a ’hot date with destiny’, Ben".

Benjamin acted shocked. "Me? When did I say that?"

Aria looked at him and scoffed.

Noah grinned. "Roll phase. Let’s see who the Goddess of luck loves the most".

[ROLL 1 – Legendary Encantment]

[Rolling for: ’Divine Requiem – Aethefire Enchant’]

[ROLLING...]

DING!

[Captain Batman rolls a 94.]

[Crimson Saint rolls an 88.]

[Misty Rose rolls a 73.]

[Enlightened Flame rolls a 46.]

[Dain Irovalor rolls a 60.]

[Reckless Storm rolls a 98.]

[Noah rolls a 2.]

"..."

[...]

[...]

At the end of the 20-man roll, a few participants, Noah especially was left completely speechless.

Aria grinned. "Bow before me mortals. This enchant is mine. First person to beg nicely might get a screenshot".

She snatched the enchantment without hesitation.

Benjamin was stumped. "98? Rigged". He accused. "You probably hacked the dice".

Aria looked at him in disdain. "I’m not the one who plays in gambling dens".

Noah sighed. "I’ve defeated gods, but apparently I can’t beat a girl with luck stats maxed in attitude".

[ROLL 2 – Transcendence Scroll]

[Rolling for: ’Transcendence Scroll – Skill Evolutio Token’]

[ROLLING...]

DING!

[Enlightened Flame rolls a 99]

[Crimson Saint rolls a 92]

[Reckless Storm rolls a 12]

[Misty Rose rolls a 41]

[Captain Batman rolls a 0]

[Lord Doom rolls a 100]

The moment that Caleb’s Avatar rolled a 99, he jumped in excitement, already celebrating his win. When Benjamin rolled a 0, it created a chain reaction of laughter in the gaming hall, till the next roll was displayed.

As soon as Noah’s roll was displayed, the hall quietened in shock.

’The heck!’ The same thought went through everyone’s mind.

"I rolled a 92 and I’m not even second best". Jonathan lamented.

"No. No way. 100?!" Caleb felt grievant.

Noah chuckled. "You know what they say. God gives his strongest upgrades to his most broke Avatars".

"And I rolled a zero. That’s not even on the dice". Benjamin felt like crying.

"It’s not," Aria agreed with him. "You just suck".

[ROLL 3 – Unique Mount: Seraph of the Broken Bell]

[Rolling for: ’Seraph of the Broken Bell – Celestial Mount’]

They almost all did a dance as soon as they saw what was at stake, and then with conviction, they rolled the dice.

[ROLLING...]

DING!

[Misty Rose rolls an 89]

[Dain Ironvalor rolls a 10]

[Enlightened Flame rolls a 57]

[Captain Batman rolls a 77]

[Reckless Storm rolls a 90]

[Crimson Saint rolls a 1]

[Lord Doom rolls a 91]

Silence.

Deep, suffocating silence, then...

"Noah... don’t you dare". Genevieve turned to glare at Noah, forgetting about her monitor completely.

Noah chuckled nervously.

Aria also glared at him. "You’ve got TWO of the drops already! Greed incarnate!"

He chuckled again. "Can’t help it Aria. The mount chose me".

Benjamin stared daggers at him. "You’re gonna ride that thing like some sort of holy tax collector".

Noah stared back at him. "Correction. Like a divine warlord with style".

Of course, they were not taking that lightly, not with shameless lords like Jonathan still without one of the drops.

The group bickered, complained, and mock-threatened to hack the dungeon, all led by Jonathan. Of course, it was all banter. Deep down, they were all smiling.

They just cleared the hardest dungeon in the current version of Warstar in less than 2 hours, and even the RNG didn’t dampen the victory.

As the final loot screen faded, Noah mounted his new mount, the Seraph, wings flaring golden as the broken monastery crumbles in the distance.

But before they logged out of the game, having been holding himself back since, Gabriel could not anymore as he stepped before Lord Doom with his Dain Ironvalor. "I’ll trade you 2 A-Ranked equipment and an event-exclusive skin for it, you in?"

Noah looked at him. "Pass".

Gabriel sighed and cursed slightly beneath his breath. "Okay. How about the Astral Wyrm, Crimson Fang of the Abyss, seven hundred premium tokens, and I’ll include that animated ’Heartspark Victory’ emote you wanted".

Noah grinned. "Now you’re talking". He raised his hand to his chin in thought. "...Throw in the limited-edition Bellcaster cloak skin and you have a deal".

Gabriel gritted his teeth. "Shameless bastard". He muttered.

Noah smiled. "You said what?"

"Nothing". Gabriel looked at him. "Deal".

Noah’s smile widened. "It’s nice doing business with you, captain".
