Second World Novel

The coronation ceremony was under preparation. It would be carried out an hour from now. Jack had come earlier as Thaergood instructed so he could prepare as well.

Inside the king’s chamber, Thaergood took him to a dressing room. There were four large cupboards.

“I understand you have three classes?” Thaergood asked.

“Yes. What about it?” Jack asked in return.

Thaergood went to the cupboards without answering Jack’s question. He opened three out of the four cupboards. Behind each cupboard was a set of armor.

“These are the regal outfits,” Thaergood informed. “Please pick one.”

Jack noticed from the look that each set was a different type of armor. The ones that Thaergood had shown him were medium armor, light armor, and cloth armor. From this, Jack surmised the closed cupboard should have a set of heavy armor behind it, the only armor type he couldn’t wear.

“These are for me?” Jack asked.

“These are for the king,” Thaergood answered.

“These are heritage equipment,” Peniel explained. “As long as you are the monarch of this country, you can wear them. If you are somehow deposed, you will lose ownership of them.”

“I see,” Jack used an Inspect on them. He expected these armors to be only cosmetic outfits. One that carried no defensive property and only to show his kingly grandeur. But he was then shocked when he found that each set was unique-grade set armors.

“Holy!” Jack blurted. “I may only choose one? Can I take all three of them?”

“Do you have to be so greedy?” Peniel chided.

“Technically, they are all yours at the moment, but can you wear them all?” Thaergood asked. “These regal outfits can’t be stored inside an outworlder’s storage bag. So, you can only carry them by equipping them. If you somehow lost them or replaced them with other equipment, these set armors will return to this cupboard by themselves.”

“And as heritage equipment, they are indestructible,” Peniel added. “They have no durability value, like your Storm Breaker.”

“Great!” Jack uttered. He then asked Thaergood, “So, I can take them all as long as I can wear them?”

“Uh… Yes,” Thaergood confirmed. Though he didn’t understand how exactly Jack could make use of them all.

Jack proceeded to take the medium set armor and replaced his current super rare grade Sword Fiend’s Gear set. He felt pity because this Sword Fiend’s Gear set enhanced his Blade Dancer class, especially the abilities that enhanced and lengthened his sword orbs ability. But he supposed he would have to let them go at one point, and this was the time.

Jack marveled at his new unique-grade royal set armor. Not only did they look dashingly cool, but their effects were also great.

Jack was not exactly thrilled about being the king of this kingdom. But after receiving this set equipment, he thought being a king was actually not bad at all.

Despite being lower level than the level 70 Sword Fiend’s Gear set, this level 64 unique set armors provided higher total physical and magical defenses. Combined with the Beastmaster’s perk, the total physical defense was 3009 and the magical defense was 2644.

All the set armor’s abilities were also incredible. Each armor had reaction skills that aided its wearer in different circumstances. The set bonuses were also great. If they went to war again, the Aura of King would empower a large number of native units since it covered a very large area.

As for the full set equipment bonus, it sounded impressive, but there was no description of the attack and damage this skill inflicted.

“How powerful is this skill?” Jack asked Peniel.

“Very,” Peniel answered. “You should be relieved that Themos had turned into a vampire. Otherwise, he would be wearing this regal equipment. If he used this Judgement of Past Kings against you during your battle yesterday. You and the others won’t survive.”
