[Hooded Zip Up]

Durability: 57/61 Defense: 10
* Movement speed will increase by 30% .
* Wind resistance will increase by 20% .
A cloak designed by a legendary blacksmith . However, the appearance is different from the normal look of a cloak .
Thanks to the sylphid scales being used as the material, affinity with wind and movement speed will increase . You can hide while wearing it, but the stealth will be turned off when an enemy is attacked .
Conditions of Use: None .
Weight: 5
The biggest advantage was the duration of the Hooded Zip Up . His stealth was maintained just by wearing it . However, it didn’t consume any mana because it wasn’t magical invisibility . Unlike an assassin’s stealth skill, it could be seen through . It had the disadvantage of being ineffective against those with sharp senses .
But this disadvantage didn’t apply on the 20th island . The **** moon only depended on sight . Grid rushed forward with his movement buff, and the **** moon wasn’t able to find him . Grid was able to easily break through the 20th island by avoiding the monsters scattered everywhere .
The Hooded Zip Up was the perfect counter for the 20th island .
***
[You have entered the 21st island . ]
‘Amazing . It’s really amazing . ’
Grid felt thrilled during the process of breaking through the 20th island . Was he admiring his own ability? No . Grid was admiring Kraugel . Kraugel might be a sword saint candidate, but in the end, he only had a normal class .
He didn’t have access to all types of items like Grid, so how did he reach the 30th island? His skills were truly phenomenal .
‘He isn’t only strong in battle and hunting . Kraugel is an overwhelming monster in all respects . ’
As he imagined the process that Kraugel used to pass the 20th island, Grid realized the weight of the of his nicknames .
“Challenger?”
Bini called out to the blank Grid . Grid quickly recovered and looked around . The foggy 21st island stretched out before him . He couldn’t see ahead of him .
‘I can’t even see my hands . ’
It was impossible to identify anything in front of him thanks to the thick fog . There was a sense of anxiety at not being able to see . Bini laughed at the anxious Grid .
“You are lucky to win the Fog Island . You can pass the 21st island for free . ”
“Fog Island?”
“It is an island with a store . ”
‘A store…’
Grid thought about the challenger points .
“Are you talking about the Challenger Store?”
“Yes, it is a store where you can buy goods with challenger points . ”
“Store… In other words, the emergence of Fog Island is random?”
“That’s right . One extremely lucky person met the Fog Island on the 10th island . One unlucky person didn’t see it despite reaching the 30th island . ”
‘That unlucky person is Kraugel . ’
Oh my god, there was a person who actually had worse luck that Grid . Grid felt sympathy as he asked Bini .
“So, do you know where the store is located? I can’t see in front of me because of the fog . ”
“It is anywhere you go . The store will naturally be waiting for you . It’s better to think in advance about what you will buy from the store . The store is only open for five minutes . ”
“I don’t know what it sells . ”
“Hehe, did you forget that I am the helper fairy? I have already figured out most of the goods sold in the store . ”
“Ohu?”
This person seemed quite helpful .
Grid admired it as Bini put on his glasses again .
“There are four types of products sold at the store on Fog Island . There are teleportation scrolls to the East Continent, elixirs, various class change books, and skill books . The class change books range from normal to rare rated, while the skill books range from normal to unique rated . ”
Grid’s eyes widened .
The items sold in the store were really great . They were rare things that couldn’t be bought with money .
“Among them, the item with the lowest value of the East Continent portal scroll . Maybe it’s sold because most of the challengers come here to find a way to move to the East Continent? But you can get it for free when you meet Sticks . ”
“Kraugel… The person who reached the 30th island got the scroll from Sticks?”
“That’s right . But luckily for them, six challengers met the store before the 10th island and purchased the portal scroll . They didn’t even try to challenge the later islands . Cowards . ”
‘It isn’t cowardly, but wise . There are seven users who have moved to the East Continent so far . ’
Grid thought about it as he moved through the fog and encountered a carriage . It was a pumpkin shaped carriage that emitted a gentle and calm light .
“That is the Challenger Store . ”
Grid received Bini’s guidance and approached the carriage . Various goods were on display in the carriage .
“Isn’t there a store owner?”
“No . It’s an unattended store . ”
“Ah . ”
If there was an owner, he would’ve been able to ask questions . Grid started to scan the products .

Price: 50 Challenger Points
[Elixir]
A medicine that increases a certain stat by 10 points .
Weight: 10
Price: 250 Challenger Points .
‘An elixir is so cheap!’
After clearing 20 islands, Grid had exactly 901 challenger points . It meant he could buy three elixirs that were worth millions of gold . He thought of the elixirs as cheap, but the reality was quite different .
The people fortunate enough to find the pumpkin carriage on the 10th island had an average of 150 points . In other words, from a general point of view, the elixirs weren’t cheap at all . It wasn’t a kindness to the other challengers of Behen Archipelago, except for Grid .
Grid took a look at the other goods .

“Hrmm . ”
Rare rated hidden classes . A year ago, they would’ve sold for billions of won . Now the value of a rare class had been greatly reduced . People learned that there was a very small gap between 3rd advancement classes and rare rated classes .
Rare classes didn’t go for a lot of money anymore .
‘Bini said that the classes only go up to rare rated . ’
Grid was disappointed after checking the list of class change books, then looked at the skill books .

‘Pass . ’
Most players coveted rare and epic rated skills . But Grid had legendary skills and wasn’t interested . For Grid, they were just a waste of points . However, unique rated skills were different .
19th knight, Fulito . Like the skill book ‘Aura Festival’ that he dropped, all of his unique skills had an outstanding performance . Grid also desired them .
‘Aura Festival is rotting in my warehouse . ’
Aura Festival was a lesser version of Pagma’s Swordsmanship, Transcended Link . Grid kept it in storage because there was no reason for him to learn it . He waited for an opportunity to sell it at a high price .
“Eh?”
Grid’s eyes widened as he closely looked at the skills list . The skill he was looking at wasn’t a hidden skill that had a rare, epic, or unique rating . It was a normal rated skill that attracted Grid’s attention .
[Weapons Mastery]
Rating: Normal
Type: Passive
The Weapons Mastery skill .
Price: 6,000 Challenger Points .
‘Weapons Mastery!’
Weapons Mastery . It was a skill that increase attack power and accuracy rate regardless of what type of weapon was used . Only a small number of combat specialized classes could obtain it, and it could be called the strongest weapon unique to a few classes .
However, this crazy store was selling the strongest weapon .
‘I want it!’
Grid was filled with extreme greed . It was natural . Grid had the strongest passive skill that allowed him to use all weapons, so this was a ridiculous skill suited for him . His limitation was that he didn’t have any mastery type skill .
Now he could overcome that limitation . It was natural that his greed was boiling . The problem was the price .
“Why is a normal skill so expensive?”
“Originally, passive skills are expensive . Among them, the Weapons Mastery skill is the most expensive . ”
“Shit . ”
The store would close soon . Grid checked the time limit and was irritated .
“If you miss this store now, does it mean I can’t use it again?”
“No . As I said earlier, Fog Island randomly emerges . It might appear again in the future . But it isn’t certain . ”
‘Then I will wait for next time . ’
He had to clear all the items to get Weapons Mastery . The East Continent Portal Scroll was something he could get in the process of meeting Sticks . Grid decided to leave the store . Bini’s eyes glowed like lanterns as he looked at Grid .
“I was afraid that you would buy the portal scroll and leave, but you truly are the challenger who broke through to the 20th island . ”
“It’s a waste to buy something when I can get it for free . ”
Would he be able to collect 6,000 challenger points?
‘Even if I fail this time…’
He would get stronger and challenge it again . Grid was sucked into the gate .
***
[You have entered the 22nd island . ]
“Come quickly . ”
Grid was burning with enthusiasm . As soon as he entered the new island, he looked around the structure of the island as usual while waiting for Bini to explain .
Bini explained .
“Up to the 25th island, it’s a fight against time . ”
Then a mission was created to prove these words .
[22nd Island]
Wipe out the monsters!
First Clear Reward: 162 Challenger Points .
“Okay, I see . ”
Grid didn’t delay . He immediately summoned the God Hands, Noe, and Randy and went to wipe out the island’s monsters . Experience, skill proficiency, and challenger points piled up, causing Grid’s will to burn .
Four days later . Grid killed thousands of monsters on the three islands and finally reached the 25th island .
Sticks was waiting for him .
“You… You are Pagma’s Descendant… Even… Hell’s strongest… Demonic beast… If it’s you… Contaminated Hall of Fame… Arrived… Ugh! Kuk!”
“…?”
Sticks fell over while talking . Grid was nervous when he saw Sticks barely breathing in a scruffy robe .
‘Something is strange . ’
Grid knew how unlucky he was . The cruel reality spread out in front of him .
[A quest has been created . ]
[Save Sticks!]
★ Hidden Quest ★

Fortunately, it can still be treated with medicine .
After learning the method to prepare the medicine from Sticks, take care of him!
Quest Acceptance Reward: ‘Recipe: Elf’s Miraculous Medicine’ will be acquired .
Quest Reward: Affinity with Sticks will rise to the maximum .
Quest Failure: Sticks’ Death .
[Would you like to accept the quest?]
“…No, why will he die if it can still be treated with medicine?”
He wasn’t convinced, but it was a hidden quest . The reward seemed special and Sticks couldn’t die . Grid thought as positively as possible and helped Sticks .
Sururuk .
Sticks’ face was exposed as the hood fell off . He was a surprisingly young man covered in sweat . He was a beautiful man with pointed ears .
“Elf…?”
Grid had played Satisfy for nearly two years, but it was the first time he saw an elf . He was curious, but dissatisfaction filled Grid’s face .
‘Normally, shouldn’t it be a female elf?’
The first elf he met was a male? He had to nurse a man alone on an island with no one else! Once again, reality was relentless, unlike the movies and manhwa .
