I was worried about how I was going to fix this situation that had become so complicated, but I was really happy right now. The light Kim Hyun-Sung was receiving from the mythic-ranked sword made him look like a warrior and hero in fairy tales.

‘Wow…’

From the moment I saw Kim Hyun-Sung, I told myself that I would stick close to him and even though I had been doing that all this time, I had never felt so relieved about following him as I was feeling right now.

‘You’re magnificent, Hyun-Sung! You’re going to make me jizz my pants!’

Protagonists were usually male, and I recalled the time Juliena had chosen me. This time, however, the situation was completely different. I couldn’t help but acknowledge the fact that Kim Hyun-Sung and I were different. The white light approached Kim Hyun-Sung as if it was pulling him in, and Kim Hyun-Sung slowly reached his hand out as well. The scene felt like the sword originally belonged to him. I was sure I wasn’t the only one watching him.

The architecture was ancient, and the background was basically a ruin thanks to the Fragment of the Ancient God. A handsome man was at the center of all of this, and of course, the group of women from the Black Swan Guild started screaming.

I knew the world was unfair, but I confirmed that truth once again. I felt like I was watching some kind of religious ceremony because Kim Hyun-Sung looked as if he had been chosen by god. The floating sword slowly landed on his hand, and it only took a moment for the bright light to fill the entire room.

Whooooosh!

Kim Hyun-Sung placed the sword at his waist as if nothing had happened and then spoke with an embarrassed look. Park Yeon-Joo replied. Unlike me, who could see the details of the sword from the start, I was sure the others had lots of questions.

“I think I have succeeded in becoming its owner.”

“Yes… that seems to be the case. Is it a mythic-ranked sword?”

“Yes, it is. As its user, I think I’m still not capable enough because I can’t use all of its skills just yet, but even when comparing it to a legendary-ranked item, the sword doesn’t lack anything. First, I’d like to apologize to everyone in the Black Swan Guild,” Kim Hyun-Sung said.

“No, there’s no need for you to apologize at all, Mr. Hyun-Sung. It’s not like we can gain ownership of the sword just because we want to, and we also don’t have the authority to stop it from choosing its owner. It’s even more applicable in this case since the sword had approached you on its own. In addition, you’re the one helping us, so I don’t want to cause any issues. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t jealous, but I’m happy that things had worked out for you, Mr. Hyun-Sung,” Park Yeon-Joo explained.

“I appreciate your consideration,” he responded.

Honestly, it could have been problematic.

‘He was lucky.’

Even though the Blue Guild was helping the Black Swan Guild, he had basically taken an extremely valuable item with neither prior discussion nor agreement. If the Black Swan Guild wanted to, they could nitpick about it, but Guild Master Park Yeon-Joo fancied Kim Hyun-Sung, and because of the uniqueness of the weapon choosing its owner, the matter was handled without any issues.

‘Since it chose him, it’s only right that we take it.’

An item was useless without a wielder. It was unfortunate, but when I thought about how we wouldn’t be able to take the legendary shield and the staff Park Deok-Gu and Jung Ha-Yan were looking at, I noticed Jung Ha-Yan being enveloped in gold light.

‘Good job, Ha-Yan!’

She had also succeeded in becoming the owner of a weapon.

“I-I’m sorry,” Jung Ha-Yan apologized.

A faint smile appeared on her face as she bowed. I noticed her running happily over to the staff when she discovered it, and in the end, she caused trouble by using her mana on it. It was actually my fault for not being able to control her but to be honest, I was happy. I forcefully held back my smile and started talking.

“Jung Ha-Yan.”

“I’m sorry… Oppa,” Jung Ha-Yan apologized again.

“Deok-Gu, put down the shield,” I ordered.

‘Don’t put it down.’

“Deok-Gu,” I called out again.

‘Hurry up and start the ownership ceremony! You pig! Use your mana on it and take it! I’ll take care of the situation! In situations like this, you need to worry about the problem later.’

“O-Okay, hyung-nim,” Park Deok-Gu replied.

‘Take it!’

Unfortunately, he didn’t get the hint. When Park Deok-Gu placed the shield down, he smacked his lips and took two steps back. It was a bit unfortunate, but I continued talking while I swallowed the bitterness I felt.

“I think you should put the item down for now, Miss Hee-Young. Same thing for you, Mr. Ki-Mo. I understand that you’re excited, but we’re not the only ones here. The leader of the expedition is in charge of the item distribution, and the leader is Miss Park Yeon-Joo. There’s nothing we can do about Mr. Hyun-Sung’s case, but Ha-Yan—” I paused.

“I’m sorry,” she apologized again.

‘No need to be sorry. You did really well. Do that again next time.’

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to give Jung Ha-Yan a gift after we leave the dungeon.

“It must have happened without her knowing it. You shouldn’t scold her… In situations like this, you have to be as cool-headed as me—Park Deok-Gu. That’s right!”

The slow-witted Park Deok-Gu was taking Jung Ha-Yan’s side and was proud of himself for remaining calm, but that pig had to be punished instead of rewarded.

‘You’re going to get it once we return.’

However, I couldn’t express that right now. I stopped myself from calling him an idiot, and I spoke quietly while looking at Park Yeon-Joo.

“I’ll apologize in her place.”

“It’s fine, Mr. Ki-Young. No use crying over spilled milk, and it’s better to congratulate her rather than being angry,” she replied.

“I’m really sorry,” I said once again.

“You don’t have to keep apologizing. In our current situation, increasing our stats is more important, so those who could use those weapons should take them. Surviving is the top priority right now. Since Miss Ha-Yan has succeeded in the ownership ceremony, it means that she’s the one who can use the weapon to its full potential. Our mages seem fine with it as well… Congratulations, Miss Ha-Yan,” Park Yeon-Joo explained.

“Th-Thank you…” Jung Ha-Yan stuttered.

‘That’s right.’

I was certain of it—Park Yeon-Joo was an angel. It seemed like she was only acting really nice because she was conscious of Kim Hyun-Sung, but when I saw how she allowed people to take such valuable items, I was envious of Kim Hyun-Sung again. I had a feeling his dating life would bring him a much brighter tomorrow.

‘It makes sense.’

I really liked the fact that Park Yeon-Joo cared more about our survival rather than being greedy over what was in front of us. I thought I finally understood why she had appointed Lee Ji-Hye to a higher position and gave her the authority to handle the matters of the guild, even though the latter had nothing to offer back then.

“Would it be fine if we took the remaining items to see if there’s anyone from our guild who can use them?” she asked.

“Yes, I think that would be best,” I replied.

I also liked the fact that she was trying to get what she needed during a situation like this.

‘I’m jealous of you, Kim Hyun-Sung.’

Compared to him, a part of me was being restricted by the smiling Jung Ha-Yan, who was being congratulated by Jo Hye-Jin and Park Yeon-Joo. During all of this, Juliena was still buzzing as she was trying to talk to me again. Maybe it was the aftereffect of awakening after spending such a long time hibernating, but she quickly became quiet, and I was sure there was a difference between the mythic-ranked sword Kim Hyun-Sung had obtained and Juliena.

Anyway, if I were to organize the situation as a whole, the Blue Guild obtained a mythic and legendary-ranked item. The remaining legendary item was the shield Park Deok-Gu was touching and high-quality epic-ranked items. We would have a chance since the ownership ceremony had to be done on the shield as well, but the Black Swan Guild would probably take the epic-ranked items. I was bothered by Sun Hee-Young glancing at the epic-ranked secondary item categorized as a bible, but even for me, it was pretty difficult to ask for that item because there were four priests in our party. They were all equipped with epic-ranked items, but there was no guarantee that they didn’t want that item. Since it was a secondary item, priests equipped with double-handed staff would find it difficult to use, but there was no end to human greed.

Waiting was the right thing to do for now. That was because…

[Sword of the 12 Knights - Durandal - Mythic Rank]

[In mythology, it’s a famous sword used by the leader of the 12 Knights. This famous sword, known to cut through anything, hasn’t lost its light despite the countless years. Unable to access further details. - Durandal doesn’t break.]

[Blood-Stained Red Jewel - Anemone - Legendary Rank]

[This is a staff decorated with jewels made from the blood of the goddess’ husband’s lover, whom she killed after being blinded by jealousy. Not only does it amplify the user’s magic, but the user will awaken to the unique magic knowledge embedded inside the jewel. The unique magic knowledge that can be used has been limited because the user’s growth limit is low. Magic stat has increased by 10 points. - You’ll be cursed, Anemone! You dirty whore Anemone! You’ll be stuck inside that jewel for the rest of your life.]

Since we had obtained these items, I couldn’t ask Park Yeon-Joo to give us the epic-ranked items as well. Even though Mind’s Eye couldn’t check the detailed information of mythic-ranked items and beings, which included the Fragment of the Ancient God and that green monster we had seen before, I could feel their energy.

‘That’s a treasure.’

The sword Kim Hyun-Sung had was a powerful weapon, and I even saw in the status window that it wouldn’t break. The information I had acquired was limited, but it was enough to determine that it was valuable. Kim Hyun-Sung’s swordsmanship was so great that he had been acknowledged as a seatholder of the continent’s Eight Seats. There were rumors going around that he lacked experience, but that was a bunch of bullshit from idiots who had no idea he was a regressor. I didn’t know what kind of skills the sword had, but if our perfect Hyun-Sung used that sword, the fact that it could cut through everything and would never break was more than enough for him to do his job.

I didn’t even have to say much about the legendary-ranked staff Jung Ha-Yan had obtained.

‘The explanation is making me kind of… nervous…’

I was happy because overall, the Blue Guild’s rank had moved up.

The description about how the jealous goddess had killed her husband’s lover and made a jewel out of her blood was enough to make me feel a shiver down my spine, but it was still a good thing we acquired it.

‘Anemone…’

It did fit Jung Ha-Yan, but I felt like something bad was going to happen. After completing the ownership ceremony, I guess Jung Ha-Yan had lost her interest in the large staff because I saw how she threw away the staff with the red jewel.

‘If that’s how she’s going to act, why did she even run so quickly toward it and take it?’

It hadn’t been that long since she discovered the staff and excitedly ran toward it. It was funny how she threw away the staff like some chewed-up gum after she was done with the ownership ceremony. I guess she wanted the stats embedded inside the staff more than the staff itself, but I was curious as to why she wanted the legendary-ranked staff while knowing that I was going to scold her. After seeing Jung Ha-Yan giggling without much thought, I instantly realized what she wanted.

‘Magic stat… 97…’

It had only been a little over a year.

It was unofficial, but this was the moment when Jung Ha-Yan obtained power comparable to the seatholders of the continent’s Eight Seats.

‘W-Wait, time out…’
