Reincarnated Avatar; I got 2 SSS-Rank Unique Skills
Chapter 65: Aetherforge

Chapter 65: Aetherforge

While the rest of the world paid attention to the interview that was organized by Warstar, somewhere in the game, inside a dungeon...

ROAR!

The final boss let out a deafening roar as Noah plunged his Aetherforge Battle Lance straight through its core, twisting the weapon as an explosion of energy rippled through the cavernous dungeon.

The monstrous Wraithlord of Cindermoor, a towering specter clad in molten armor, wielding twin soul-forged scythes convulsed, its glowing red eyes dimming as its body began to disintegrate.

---<Warstar>---

[System Announcement: Dungeon Boss Defeated!]

[Dungeon Cleared: Solo Completion- Ultra Hard Tier Achievement Unlocked!]

[Congratulations! Your drop rewards have doubled!]

---<Warstar>---

It had been 3 days since Demon’s Tower already.

After getting over the shock of their unique skills, mostly the shock of his 2nd SSS-Rank unique skill, the excited group finally rummaged through their drop rewards with gusto.

Since none of their in-game Avatars was a Berserker, the class that wielded Great swords and Battleaxe, Noah temporarily held the Battleaxe of Asmodeus.

Every S-Ranked weapon was an absolute treasure in Warstar.

If they decided to sell it, they would undoubtedly get filthy rich overnight since there were people ready to pay big for any S-Ranked equipment.

Professional Warstar clubs especially were ready to pay big to get any equipment that could further strengthen their pro players’ Avatars for the Pro Alliance, so the Battleaxe of Asmodeus was basically an invaluable treasure.

Noah and his teammates had no intention of selling it though.

They were experienced, they knew that selling it was wasting its value.

If they were casual players who played the game for fun, they would have undoubtedly decided to sell the S-Ranked weapon for the money but they were not.

Rather, they were forcefully retired pro players who aspired to make a comeback to the professional scene.

They didn’t need the money, they needed something even better, a compatible S-Ranked weapon.

This was why Noah held onto the Greataxe.

Instead of selling it, Noah wanted to batter it in an exchange for another S-Ranked weapon, one that fit the needs of anyone of his teammates.

He doubted if he could batter the Greataxe now in the new server, but he was not too worried about this. This was because after getting to level 60, players in new servers become eligible to take on the Heavenly Challenge.

If they complete it, they gain access to the Heavenly Domain, a much bigger map that was the true revolutionary world of Warstar.

It was filled with multiple new maps, multiple new dungeons, multiple new bosses, but most importantly, the best and highest leveled players in the game all reside in the Heavenly Domain.

There, Noah was sure to meet someone that would batter for the Greataxe.

And if not, he still had certain connections among pro clubs in England.

As for the other drop rewards, Aria naturally took the Blades of Aamon. Her previous Blademaster Avatar in team Cyber squad also had an S-Ranked weapon, Aria was excited to get her hand on one again.

As for Hell’s Key, Caleb took it since it was an item that fit a Summoner more.

After distributing the main rewards, his teammates logged out of the game, going on an extended absence as they recuperated from the grueling Demon’s Tower dungeon challenge.

As for Noah though, he didn’t have such luxury.

He was stuck in the game. Not that he hated it though.

With his teammates gone, after he paid gold coins to rest in an inn and recover, he rested some more to recover his mental exhaustion before quickly continuing the grind.

He wanted to make his comeback to the pro scene as soon as possible, and he needed to work hard for it.

Besides, he was excited by his new and first ever SSS-Ranked weapon, Aetherforge. Not even his old Stinger of War Avatar had an SSS-Ranked weapon.

From the description alone, Noah knew that mastering the use of his new weapon was not going to be easy.

This was why since then, his schedule became sleep in an inn, rest, recover, and then solo dungeons to test out his new abilities and weapons.

Demon’s Tower was not the sole level 20 dungeon in the new server, it was the sole level 20 dungeon in the beginner village.

After Demon’s Tower, Noah finally left the beginner village.

3 days later, here he was.

Noah exhaled sharply, lowering his lance.

Even for him, Aetherforge was tricky to master.

The SSS-Rank weapon demanded more than just raw skill. It required adaptability, quick thinking, and an almost instinctual understanding of its form transitions.

In this fight alone, he’d switched between Battle Lance, Twin Swords, and Rifle multiple times, each form uniquely suited for different attack patterns.

The Battle Lance had allowed him to control space and land heavy blows.

The Twin Swords had been necessary for fast-paced counters against the boss’ teleporting strikes.

And the Rifle? It had been invaluable in dealing precise long-range damage when the Wraithlord took to the air.

"Still not perfect," he muttered, glancing at the weapon in his grip.

Aetherforge pulsed faintly, its metallic surface shifting subtly as if recognizing his progress.

He’d come far in understanding it, but he was yet to master it.

Even so, his SSS-Rank Unique Skills had made a frightening difference. 10x Skill Points meant he was accumulating power at a monstrous rate, while Versatile Avatar was outright game-breaking.

He was already incorporating high-level skills from other classes; things no other player should have access to. And this was only the beginning.

This time, he truly was creating a broken in-game Avatar.

"Alright, PvE testing is done".

His gaze shifted towards the exit of the dungeon.

If he wanted to truly understand how effective his skills were, there was only one place left to go.

The Arena.

There, he’d face real opposition, players who thought fast, adapted, and had no predictable patterns.

Warstar was a game of war, and the best way to sharpen a weapon was through battle.

As he began making his way to the Arena though, his interface lit up with an incoming message.

{Genevieve: Noah, meet up with us in the game. Choose a location, there’s something we need to discuss.}

Noah raised an eyebrow but didn’t hesitate. If Genevieve was calling him, it had to be something important.

With a flick of his wrist, he dismissed the dungeon interface and altered his course. Whatever this was about, it could only mean one thing.

Something big was happening or likely already happened.
