Reincarnated Hero System

Chapter 128 Doubler And Strange Old Man



Evan's eyes flashed as he sensed the flow of magic right before it disappeared, abruptly standing up and dashing towards the spot the man was staring at.

'If it showed a green light when you found it, it would have been easy to discover as the tiles are gray.

But although the path to finding it was on the tiles, no one said the 'prize' was on the tiles too!

Green light shining in green grass, no wonder they missed it!'

Evan thought to himself as he dug out the ground with his hands, reaching a small black twenty-five by twenty-five centimetres box that was not more than ten centimetres below the earth.

He pulled out the box and filed the earth back before getting to his feet and walking out of that section of the park, leaving behind the group of stunned pedestrians.

Meanwhile, Evan had already gone over to a nearby fountain to wash his hands and the box. After this, he opened the box to reveal a thick bracelet about fifteen centimetres in length and width.

Activating his appraisal, he viewed the stats of the bracelet.

|Prototype Replicator (Doubler)

Type; Magic Artifact.

Effect;

A genius Great Mage and Master Alchemist once crafted this masterpiece and dubbed it a 'prototype' because he felt it wasn't up to his standards.

Nevertheless, this artifact is one of a kind as the Great Mage passed before he could create a 'complete' version.

Effect;

The Effects of the first five pieces of equipment worn or held by the user after equipping this bracelet are doubled in power and efficiency.

Automatically adjusts to fit the wearer. |

Evan revealed a small smile as he grabbed put his hand through the bracelet and saw its size adjust to fit his arm instantly.

He then pulled out the hilt of the unforged and appraised the weapon, his smile becoming wider as he noticed the change in effect.

|Unforged Vanquisher (The Unforged) [Boosted]

Type; One-handed Sword.

What was left behind from a once great adventurer who perished at the hands of the 'Spider Nemesis' Cheisnih.

This sharp sword can seemingly pierce through anything. When swung, one can almost see the rift it tears in the air.

Effect;

Scoring hits on opponents increases overall attack power by 10% for one minute. This effect can be stacked for a maximum of ten times. Can only occur once every twenty seconds. |

The bracelet literally doubled everything, from the attack bonus to the maximum stacks and the cooldown.

'Perhaps that's the reason the creator called it a 'prototype...'

Evan sighed as he thought of how easy it was to get the artifact in the game, all he had to do was complete a quest and he was given the artifact as a reward.

However, he did not have the option to complete said quest as he was not in the game anymore but in reality.

He had to follow the steps that were listed by one of the players on a forum he had gone through once.

Apparently, if one did not complete the quest and followed those steps, they would find the bracelet buried underneath a random spot in the park.

The story behind it was that a Great Mage hid the bracelet in that park during the hide and seek event of a festival in Kasteblum a few decades ago but it was never found.

As Evan was reminiscing about the game, a few balls of light invisible to everyone around him, floated over to his location and began circling around his head.

[IS that him?]

[That's him!]

[He changed!]

[He looks bigger!]

[It's called growing taller, you idiot!]

[Hey!]

Evan snapped out of his reverie and looked around to see multiple spirits of various elements floating around his head while chatting noisily.

He then felt a presence and looked up to see a gray-haired man standing in front of him. Sitting on his head was a small twenty-centimetre-tall brown-skinned boy who was staring at Evan with a slacked jaw.

"Hello, young one. Care to spare this old man some time?"

"Not at all."

Evan responded as he instantly discovered the reason why the old man came to talk to him.

[The boy sees us too.]

[The old man sees us!]

[Hey! he's not a boy!]

[And he's not an old man!]

A group of spirits on the man's shoulder pointed at Evan as they spoke, with the spirits around Evan retorting as they both got into an argument.

Seeing them, the man let out a wry smile as he spoke.

"I didn't think I'd meet someone with the aptitude to see spirits when I decided to take a stroll around town."

"Neither did I."

Evan replied as he gazed at the spirit atop the man's head, one which he presumed was a high-ranked spirit.

The man stretched out his left hand to pat the head of the spirit, allowing Evan to see the scar on his forearm that had scabbed over.

Tracing Evan's gaze, the old man laughed as he spoke.

"It's a lot less serious than it looks, besides, I'm not bothered. It's something that comes with the job after all."

As he said that, Evan took his time to scan the man from head to toe, noticing his appearance and how different it was from others with a similar appearance.

The man was wearing dark-coloured magician robes with a the of Kasteblum's Grand magic tower, a magic staff inscribed within a pentagram on the back of his robes.

Evan thought his robes were navy blue at first, but he looked closer and realized the navy blue he was seeing was actually an illusion created by magic.

This was something he only managed to notice as his mystic eyes were still active and he was seeing the magic flow from the man's body into the robes.

The actual colour of the robes was black.

And as far as Evan knew, there was only one person in Kasteblum who was allowed to wear black robes with the symbol of the grand magic tower on them.

"Chief Grand Magus, Gavin Josey..."

Evan absentmindedly called out the name of the person he remembered from the game and the man nodded in affirmation, confirming Evan's words.

'In the game, he looked much older and had more scars on his face. He also wore a mask to cover half his face so I could not recognize him without it.'

Evan was about to speak again when the man tapped his shoulder and stood up before speaking.

"We would have more time to chat another day, boy. For now, I shall take my leave, it seems they've noticed I've gone missing from the tower."

And then he walked out just like that, leaving Evan stunned and lost for words until the spirits with Evan suddenly said something more shocking.

[Evan!!!]

[A big shot called us to ask about you!]

'Huh? Big shot?'

Evan couldn't help but ask. He was always gathered by spirits wherever he went but there was this particular group of fire, lightning, and light spirits that had been following him since he got his mystic eyes to stage one in Merdin.

They were also part of the spirits who helped him against Xakon and even could not help but notice their absence.

Now they finally reappeared, saying a 'big shot' called them to ask about him.

[Don't you mean big shots?]

[Huh?]

[There were two, so 'big shots'!]

[Oh!!!!]

Evan ignored their banter and asked them directly about who called them to ask of him.

[Lady Undine and Lord Gnome called to ask about you.]

[And Lady Kayla!]

[Lady Undine was worried about Lady Kayla!]

[She wanted to come to find you but you had left that city so she sent us to find you first!]

[Didn't she say we should not tell him that part?]

[Did she?]

Evan recognized the two names that the spirits called out. They were the great spirits of water and earth respectively.

Two powerful spirits that were present during the war against the demons of a thousand years ago, although they were born towards the end of the war.

Each of them was also above level 650, possessing power not far off from that of the spirit king Sinclair.

As for why they could be asking about Kayla, he didn't need to be a genius to figure that out.

'They must have sensed the birth of the new great lightning spirit and they are looking for said spirit.

Or rather, they have already found her but since I changed locations quickly, they could not get to her.'

Evan heaved a sigh of relief as he was sure he would lose on all fronts when compared to great spirits that were centuries old, be it strength or wit, and didn't really want to get into an argument about Kayla with them.

'Although the final decision would rest with Kayla, I really don't want them to just come over and take Kayla away.

Maybe I'd get Artemisia to stop them?

Evan stood up and spoke to the spirits who were flying around him while chattering noisily and asked.

"For Kayla's sake, can you not tell Undine where she is?"
