This belt signifies the oath between the first of the Karkavan and the last of the ???

Crafted from ??? the belt served its purpose as the mark of a new ruler, leading one to prosper at the price of another.
During the passing of an age where one fell and one rose, the last High Elf sang in commemoration of a new beginning… And cried in anticipation of an ending.

And thus, bearing the weight of his promise, Anox, the first and last King of the Karkavan, took his children into the woods to have them become ???

With those words, Dale finished reading through the description of the item.
“Woah…” He blurted out as he read the item
‘This… Gives a permanent increase to two Stats?!’
‘But… This doesn’t look like a consumable…’
‘Can multiple people wear this at once only for the benefits?’
The idea of getting a permanent upgrade was enticing, especially since he was once trapped and unable to progress before he entered Azimuth.
With Extra Stats, wouldn’t he be able to break through such limitations?
To this goal, Dale kept his Tutorial Stat potions, not drinking even one.
Sometimes he had the urge to just consume them, but the longer he trained, the more he understood he wasn’t supposed to give in to such easy strength.
There will be a time when they will make a difference, even if at that time their value was close to none.
That was what he wished to believe…
“Though… Sigh.”
‘Nothing’s free in the world, there’s quite the drawback… Otherwise, I might’ve put it on my waist right now even if only for a second…’ He thought as he read the severe penalty of the item
‘Even then, what an item… Time to review it.’ He thought with a half smile as he went back to the top of the item’s window
‘First, right below the Stat bonuses, there’s something I haven’t seen before.’
[…
The blessing of the Old Spirits increases the rank of all Skills by 2 if they’re beneath 4-Star and by 1 if they’re beneath 7-Star.
Slaying an individual without a proper cause permanently decreases all Base Stats by 1.
These effects persist even after the Belt is unequipped.

‘It’s like an… Extra effect? Albeit one of them is more of a curse…’
‘So uh… Unique item effects? Like the ones in most of my Accessories?’
‘I know that most Accessories don’t give Skills, they’re only meant to give Stats.’
‘But if the Grade is high enough, the item will likely contain a Skill or a Special effect.’
‘However, those are Accessories, this is a normal belt item… The fundamental way they were supposed to operate is different…’
Even if that was true, it is only through a game perspective, in a real scenario, if magic was infused onto a small ring or a large chest plate, did it matter?
‘Either way, there is only one item I can infer to resolve this… That being Caldgolg.’
[Caladgolg (Legendary Armament)

‘Albeit most of the Sword’s description is still hidden, including its rating, I’ve ‘unlocked’ more Skills, one of which being 10 Star!’
‘So far, I’ve only used one Skill, Refracted Starlight, a wide-range nuking attack…’
‘I’ve actually never tried Horizontal Slash… But I bet it would likely be no less than the previous Skill.’
‘Either way, what Caladgolg has that other items don’t is the fact it has extra effects that aren’t considered Skills or Set Effects, they’re more like intrinsic properties that are always in effect like passive abilities but aren’t given a Rating.’
‘And so far, these items seem to have varying effects, meaning, they aren’t exactly statical like the effects of a passive and can vary like Caladgolg’s Stat Boost due to my conviction…’
‘Albeit I already confirmed that Caldgolg’s abilities aren’t in effect… The only effect that is working is the one where my conviction lowers the requirements of the Sword, making it lighter most of the time, but really just that.’
‘I’m sure that there will be a day where my conviction will lower the requirements of Caldgolg just enough so I can actually equip it as an item, and then one day where I’ll be able to grasp it whenever I please…’
‘But I’m sure those days are far.’
‘However, when it does happen, I’ll likely be able to feel it.’
‘I mean… Caladgolg doesn’t even give me Stats directly… I imagine it is hidden from me, but there is the possibility it simply gives no Stats because it wants no pussies to use it…’
‘Okay, I made that up but it makes sense, as a Legendary Armament, what is the point of empowering its rightful wielder any further?’
‘Caladgolg already does it by boosting me based on my conviction, there is no need for further strengthening.’
“As for the Extra effect… Not being able to fight is a mood killer though…” Dale said as he shook his head
‘Perhaps I would still be able to fight since the key word here is “Slaying”…’
‘But I don’t want to end up sparring with all of my enemies all the time, nor can I rely on others to farm XP for me, it’s the only way I can imagine me getting XP…’
‘Perhaps farming undead and other creatures that were never alive, to begin with?’ Dale thought as he closed his eyes
‘This may not be a problem for those this item was made for, but I’m a frontline warrior, I need to fight and shed the blood of others…’
‘So until I find a way to take that effect off, this isn’t for me, quite the shame really, since one of the Skills seems pretty interesting…’
‘Spirit Magic, this is my first time seeing a Magic-related Skill outside of the few Skill Books I acquired in the Wall and through players.’
‘I can’t learn the Skill books since they aren’t compatible with me according to the System’s evaluation, which is even more of a shame, and apart from studying them from zero, this item was the only way through which I could’ve gotten magic right away.’
‘And this leads to my next idea.’
“This is a Support item.”
‘An item made for Hard Support, someone that won’t move forward at all.’
‘The type a frail maiden Healer that stays in the backline praying so your wounds get healed would use… She’s blond too…’
‘Just look at the Skills, they’re all Support type Skills like Healing, Agro Control, Debuffs… Spirit Magic in itself is also pretty complicated to use, taking quite some time to set off during combat.’
‘I haven’t seen any players use this type of magic, so I’m once again basing myself on the previous game.’
‘This item is for someone that stays far away and leaves the brunt of the work for someone else.’
‘And uh… If I could get it, then I think I already have a candidate that fits all of the above…’
“But this is a bit strange… How come such a thing was given to the King of a race of… Uh… Well…”
‘The Karkavan aren’t really a tribe of Scholars… Come on! I bet even their most frail Schollarly man would likely still be able to choke a lion.’
‘So there must be a catch… Either that or I am indeed assuming things.’
‘Their King might’ve been a pacifist for all I know.’
‘This leads to the final observations on this item, the blocked feature, and the description.’
‘I don’t really mind the Item Requirements since I’m already pretty close to it, so I’ll jump to what is likely this “catch” that I’m missing.’
‘According to the description and some other words in the window, this was an item made with the blessing of the Old Spirits.’
‘And if everything connects the way I think they do, then to properly use this item…’
“This is an item made for the Spirit Contractor Class.” Dale mumbled with a sharp gaze as he looked down at the belt
