Chapter 30

There were various ways to restore a bow.

You could find a skilled blacksmith and place a commission.

Or you could ask an alchemist with a restoration specialty profession to restore the bow.

But that would require investing a considerable amount of time and money.

‘It’s a unique item. The fact that this unique dropped to rare grade means restoration itself is difficult.’

It had dropped a full 2 grades.

Restoring a weapon damaged enough to drop in grade back to its original state?

That’s work only a legendary-grade blacksmith or alchemist could handle.

‘I think he spent about 100 million just on restoration.’

Lee Hwa Rang had shown off the restored bow with pride.

The majesty of the bow he showed back then still remained vividly in Jung Hoon’s mind.

‘It’s fine. I can restore it myself.’

Not only did he lack 100 million, but to find a legendary-grade blacksmith or alchemist, he’d need to be at least level 200.

Users of that caliber wouldn’t be playing around in these low-level areas.

In Lee Hwa Rang’s case, he could visit blacksmiths or alchemists affiliated with his guild, but Jung Hoon couldn’t.

So he planned to restore it himself.

‘There is one way to restore it in Edenhark.’

Jung Hoon opened the Achievement shop.

The Achievement shop had risen to level 3.

[The current Achievement shop level is ‘3’.]

[From level 3, category functions are added to the shop.]

[Items for sale are arranged in each category.]

Unlike up to level 2 where lists would simply appear, a category function had been added.

This was a feature created as the items available for purchase increased dramatically upon reaching level 3.

Jung Hoon entered the ‘Special’ category among those functions.

[Achievement Shop (Special) Lv.3]

-Installation

-Consumables

The shop was categorized once again like this.

Jung Hoon selected consumables and dragged the scroll bar down until the item he wanted appeared.

‘Found it.’

Jung Hoon stopped at a certain point.

-Mysterious Hourglass

The first material for restoration was the Mysterious Hourglass.

Using the Mysterious Hourglass would restore 50% of a weapon’s durability.

If you didn’t want to repair through a blacksmith, there was this method of repairing weapon durability with Achievement points.

Jung Hoon purchased 10 Mysterious Hourglasses.

At 500 points each, he spent 5,000 points.

This left him with 33,000 points remaining.

His Achievement points were plentiful.

‘They say you gather energy looking at this and then release it all at once.’

It was impossible to restore the bow with just the Mysterious Hourglass.

Jung Hoon crushed the glass containing the sand with his bare hands.

The glass shattered and the sand fell into a basket.

After breaking all 10 like this, he entered the Achievement shop and purchased additional items.

-Sacred Lubricant

-Restoration Powder

-Fusion Potion

Sacred Lubricant was being sold for 5,000 points each.

And Restoration Powder was 3,000 points.

Finally, the Fusion Potion was an item with an incredible price of 15,000 points.

Spending an additional 23,000 points, his remaining Achievement points were now 10,000.

‘Good.’

Gathering Achievement points took considerable time, so he thought this work would take quite a while, but rather than being insufficient, he had 10,000 points left over.

Jung Hoon mixed the lubricant and Restoration Powder with the sand.

In that state, he finally opened the glass bottle containing the Fusion Potion and carefully dropped it in one drop at a time.

‘A device that can restore items of unique grade and below.’

This was a recipe not yet revealed.

It was a recipe that users came to love belatedly, only revealed just before New World became reality.

That recipe was now being created in Jung Hoon’s hands.

After consuming about half the Fusion Potion, light began bursting from the contents in the basket.

‘Slowly.’

Though it sparkled so brightly he could barely keep his eyes open, Jung Hoon dropped the Fusion Potion at a steady rate.

If he added even slightly too much or too little, the work would be ruined.

To mix properly, he had to drop it steadily and guide it to blend.

Drop. Drop.

All the Fusion Potion in the glass bottle had fallen into the basket.

Jung Hoon put his hand directly into the basket and slowly stirred to ensure proper mixing.

That work continued until the light completely disappeared.

[‘Unique Restoration Powder’ has been created.]

[You are the first to craft ‘Unique Restoration Powder’! 10,000 Achievement points have been awarded!]

[You have obtained the ‘[Title] Novice Crafter’.]

“Perfect.”

Jung Hoon grinned.

Powder that could restore Unique grade items.

With this, he could now restore the bow.

* * *

Earth Korea User Management Team.

“Crazy… what is that?”

“Unique Restoration Powder?”

“How did he make that?”

The employees looked at the powder the user had made with shocked eyes.

Unique Restoration Powder.

“Hah… this is truly unbelievable.”

Team Leader Oh Jin Su was equally shocked.

The user who had claimed the first Martial Artist Hidden Class.

While it was true they had expectations for that user’s progress, how could they not be surprised seeing this?

He had gone to the mine indicated by the map, obtained a broken bow nearby, and casually used a recipe that hadn’t been discovered until now to complete Unique Restoration Powder.

Now he would use that powder to restore the bow, right?

“Wow, so he’s going to restore the bow with that powder?”

“If a completely broken item is Rare grade, when restored it could go up to Epic or even Unique, right?”

The employees were correct.

If it was broken to that extent, when restored, they could expect it to reach Unique grade.

‘A Unique grade bow discovered in Edenhark… wait, could that bow be…?’

Long ago, Divine Archer Rihart who was said to have been active in Edenhark.

Rihart was known to have favored one particular bow, but the bow he used was said to have never been found.

Why was this part, which he had casually overlooked as simple character setting, coming to mind now?

‘If that’s that bow… it would truly be incredible.’

The bow wielded by the Divine Archer.

For some reason, Oh Jin Su felt that bow was the same item as the one Rihart had wielded.

* * *

Jung Hoon took out the bow and grabbed a handful of powder, sprinkling it gently.

Then a small light seeped into the broken bow and it slowly began to be restored.

‘Good.’

He continued sprinkling the powder on the bow like this.

The powder had a usage limit of once.

Even that one time required using all the powder without exception for 100% effectiveness.

Jung Hoon repeated the same work, carefully applying the powder to the bow.

Eventually the powder piled in the basket was completely used up, and only after shaking out and applying every last bit of powder from the basket was the work finished.

‘Complete.’

The bow Jung Hoon was holding was no longer a broken bow.

The bow limb that had rotted with age was perfectly restored and glowing red, and the head that had broken off was shaped like a Red Dragon’s head.

[‘Broken Unknown Bow’ has been restored.]

[Name changed to ‘Red Dragon Bone Bow’.]

[Congratulations! You have obtained Red Dragon Bone Bow (Unique). This will be announced to New World.]

[Unique grade weapon obtained! 1,000 Achievement points have been awarded.]

He had succeeded in obtaining the Red Dragon Bone Bow, the first weapon that should be acquired in Edenhark.

‘The bow that Divine Archer Rihart used.’

Jung Hoon opened the information for the bow he had newly acquired.

===

[Red Dragon Bone Bow]

-Type: Bow

-Grade: Unique

-Attack Power: 156

-Critical Rate: 2 ~ 2.25%

-Remaining Durability: 100%

-Special Ability (1): Infinite generation of Mana Arrows.

-Special Ability (2): When arrows hit, low chance of additional fire damage application.

===

As expected, it was insane.

With just the Red Dragon Bone Bow, there was no need to stock up on arrows, which were consumable items.

Archers would stock up on sufficient arrows before heading into battle.

This would cost money, leading them to run dungeons that matched their budget, but if they didn’t need to stock consumable items with such high-grade equipment, they could not only save money but also reduce delay since they wouldn’t need to draw arrows from their quiver each time, just pull the bowstring.

It truly was an overpowered special ability.

Additionally, fire damage.

When the damage triggered, enemies hit by arrows would feel the agony of being burned by fire.

‘This would be Lee Hwa Rang’s third most favored bow.’

At the current point in time, Lee Hwa Rang would be favoring two bows.

And the third thing he planned to cherish was going to be this bow.

However, since the bow had come into Jung Hoon’s hands, such a future would not come to pass.

‘I’ll have to use it as material for upgrading later.’

Though it was Unique grade, excluding its special abilities, it wasn’t particularly good for now.

In New World, instead of requiring levels to equip items, you had to directly enhance your weapons.

So regardless of grade, the options on initial equipment were just mediocre.

However, the true value of this bow lay not in enhancement but in ‘evolution’.

This bow would transform into an overpowered weapon only after going through the evolution process.

“Hey!”

Just then, Yorden, who had entered the mine, came running out.

And above his head, a new question mark had appeared.

‘Found it.’

Jung Hoon grinned.

The time for the Red Dragon Bone Bow to undergo its first evolution had arrived.

* * *

Recently, Lee Hwa Rang’s mood had been poor.

He was sitting in the waiting area of the Mythology Guild’s archer training ground with his arms crossed, glaring at the targets.

“Huh? Why is Team Leader Lee acting like that lately?”

“Who knows. He’s been like that ever since he came back from Primordial Village.”

Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would always sit in that spot glaring at the targets, but ever since returning from Primordial Village, it had become routine for him to sit in that spot every day, glare at the targets, then log out.

The cause was the small dojo located in Primordial Village.

Though there were traces of someone having stayed there, who would have thought they’d taken that opportunity.

Just who could have taken it?

‘No matter how I think about it, it’s strange. I should have been the only one to discover that clue, right?’

He was the only one who found the clue.

And it took him over half a year to decode it.

Thanks to that, his leveling was insufficient and he had to accept considerable losses.

But it didn’t matter.

Because he was confident he could acquire the best skill to compensate for an archer’s weakness in close combat.

All of it had turned to bubbles though.

“Hey, Lee Hwa Rang.”

While he was staring intently at the targets, someone approached and sat beside him.

At the familiar voice, Lee Hwa Rang answered without even turning his head.

“What.”

His ten-year friend, the Lord Knight Park Jin Hyeok.

He had started New World in the first place because Park Jin Hyeok recommended it.

Something about how since he chose the sword, Lee Hwa Rang should pick the bow or magic.

Anyway, they had found their respective talents and joined Mythology where Sword King Sa Jae Hyeok was the master, so it could be considered a success.

“Did you miss something important?”

“…It’s not like that.”

“Yeah right. It’s written all over your face.”

“Anyway, if I say it’s not, then it’s not.”

How could he tell him about doing all sorts of menial tasks at the dojo in Primordial Village?

His pride wouldn’t allow him to say it.

Perhaps sensing something from Lee Hwa Rang’s expression, Park Jin Hyeok skillfully changed the subject.

“More importantly, did you find any clues about the Red Dragon Bone Bow?”

“No.”

Lee Hwa Rang shook his head.

Red Dragon Bone Bow.

A weapon known to have been cherished by Rihart, who was called the Divine Archer 600 years ago.

And the defensive equipment set he wore along with it.

Currently, Lee Hwa Rang had collected all pieces of that set except for the weapon.

Helmet, upper armor, lower armor, cloak, boots.

Now if he just had the bow, the Red Dragon Set would be complete and he could enjoy the set effects.

“Really? It’s taking longer than expected. I thought you’d find it quickly.”

“Tell me about it. Of all things, there are no clues about the most important weapon, so…”

All the defensive equipment had been found on the Hamelon Continent, the place where Rihart was known to have died.

But not the weapon.

No matter how much he searched, he couldn’t find even a trace of the weapon.

“Since it hasn’t appeared in the announcements, it must still be buried somewhere. Hang in there a little longer.”

“Yeah.”

When items of Unique grade or higher are discovered, New World automatically posts an announcement.

It’s to congratulate and announce that the item has appeared.

Lee Hwa Rang had also received New World announcements each time he obtained Red Dragon defensive equipment.

The fact that there had been no announcement about the weapon yet meant it was hidden somewhere.

So there was no need to think about it anxiously.

[Congratulations! *User has obtained the Red Dragon Bone Bow (Unique) in Edenhark.]

Like a ghost, a New World announcement appeared.

Moreover, it was the Red Dragon Bone Bow that Lee Hwa Rang had been so desperately trying to find that had appeared in the world.

“Damn it!”

Lee Hwa Rang cursed and shot up from his seat.
