Next, I put into the inventory a single spear that the members had unanimously said was amazing just a moment ago.

It was a peculiar spear with sharp blades on both ends, and the blades gave off a dark green glow.

[Trunco [Legend+]]
 
A poisoned spear bearing the epithet ‘massacre.’ It is not an ordinary poison, so it must be handled carefully, because the moment divine power is infused, it spews poison and bursts into flames.
 
Appearing in the middle period of the empire without anyone knowing when or by whom it was made, this spear melted three counties and one marquessate into a mere handful of poison.
 
The divine power attribute is fixed to poison.
 
When divine power is infused, flames of poison surge up, and those flames will surely strike the target the owner desires (it can be dodged with agility 165 or higher.).
 
There is a process for verifying the owner, but even if it fails, there is no problem using it.
 
However, if you are not recognized as the owner, you must be careful about infusing divine power into the spear. The spear’s poison may reveal itself to the wielder.
 
—If you are recognized as the owner, you can obtain the class ‘Poison Lancer.’
 
[Class: Poison Lancer]
 
The Poison Lancers were a family that flourished in the ancient empire.
 
After the time when battles were frequent passed and a peaceful era continued, a mood that sought romance and the way in knights spread like a trend.
 
Accordingly, the Poison Lancers were purged under the pretext that they were cowardly knights who used poison.
 
Its Force attribute is Poison, and it has the poison attribute.
 
You can learn the spear techniques unique to the Poison Lancer.
 
Not only divine power, but even the blood flowing through the body contains toxicity, so if you are contaminated by the blood of a high-level Poison Lancer, it can even gnaw away at divine power.

“Huh….”

While examining the item, a dry laugh escaped me without my noticing for the first time.

A Poison Lancer. If a Poison Lancer who could handle poison with skill had Trunco in hand…?

Just thinking about it gave me chills. I looked over the spear once more carefully and put it into the inventory.

Next, I picked up a sleek bow that shimmered silver like moonlight.

From its gracefully curved body to its transparent bowstring, it was a bow so beautiful that anyone who handled a bow would covet it.

[Hundred Shots, Hundred Hits [Legend+]]
 
It is the bow beloved by Yerika, the first wife of the founding Emperor Nisten and an elf of the forest folk.
 
When the bowstring is drawn, an arrow that never misses, the magic arrow, is created.
 
If someone who is not registered as the owner uses it, the fifth arrow will strike the target desired not by the user, but by Falsum, the evil god who made the bow.
 
In fact, when Yerika’s son, who later became emperor, was seven years old, he played with this bow hanging in Yerika’s room and the fifth arrow he fired caused Yerika, the First Empress and owner of the bow, to die.
 
—Magic arrows that never miss are created.
 
—The magic arrows fired from the bow have three effects depending on the amount of divine power bestowed upon the bow.
 
Pierce: piercing
 
Blast: explosive
 
Rain: falling like rain
 
—If the owner of the bow is a skilled archer, up to seven magic arrows can be fired at once.
 
[Pallasch [Ancient]]
 
The axe of Pallasch, Nisten’s comrade and the first commander of the imperial guard knights. Pallasch, a quad-orc, was a natural-born warrior with strength and stamina comparable to Spinno, and who handled Force skillfully as well.
 
This axe, which he had carried since the first time he met Nisten, is an axe empowered by Diruptio, the goddess of destruction. It is a fearsome axe whose trait is not cutting or slicing something, but ‘destruction.’
 
—It is a weapon focused on destruction. It is an axe with the ‘potential’ to destroy anything.
 
—Depending on the amount of divine power and the owner’s will, the range is diverse and vast, from weapons to living beings, inanimate objects, and even the earth.
 
—It does not separately increase body stats or divine power, but depending on how much divine power is imbued into the axe, strength and stamina increase.
 
[Divine Sword—Balisarda [Ancient+]]
 
It is ‘Balisarda,’ called the sword of miracles. With its unusual trait of being able to pass through objects or cut a target across space, it is also a sword that appears at least once in the myths and legends of most dimensions.
 
Because it is an exceptional sword, the conditions for accepting a master are extremely strict.
 
—You can use the unique authority ‘Void Kill.’

While looking at Balisarda’s description, I suddenly stopped my hand.

It was partly because it was the first time I’d seen a sword that also appeared in Earth’s myths, but more than that, because the explanation was so brief.

What puzzled me most was the explanation of that unique authority, which looked as if it had been cut off mid-output.

‘Void Kill?’

For some reason, there was no explanation of the authority at all. Even the descriptions of classes are printed in detail, but there is no explanation whatsoever for the authority.

As I held Balisarda and agonized over ‘Void Kill,’ a line of message floated up in the air.

『Would you like to attempt to register as the master of ‘Divine Sword—Balisarda’? For your information, if the first registration fails, you cannot try again.』

“…No.”

Not yet. Registering as the master here and now was not a good idea.

Everyone’s intimacy level was Trust, but with equipment this advanced, a trivial action could lead to a huge misunderstanding. Unless it was that jewel box left for last.

Putting my curiosity aside, I put Balisarda into the inventory and picked up the jewel box.

[The Jewel Box [Ancient]]
 
It is a magic box for storing jewels.
 
It can store everything that falls into the category of jewels, and because it is a specially crafted jewel box, it can store all kinds of divine power stones, including mana stones, without any repelling force.
 
It contains funds that the emperor of the Nisten Empire, as greedy as an ancient dragon, had collected just in case.
 
—If certain conditions are not met, nothing can be obtained.

A shorter explanation than expected. I opened the jewel box out of curiosity. No, I tried to open it.

『We have confirmed that the owner of the jewel box is dead. Would you like to authenticate as the owner?』

“Yes.”

『Authentication failed. The blood of the Nisten imperial family does not flow in you.』

“Huh?”

『Beeep—! Exception situation confirmed. We have identified the command used when the emperor of the Nisten Empire dies without an heir. We will conduct a voice comparison with the being that brought the last emperor’s corpse here. Confirmed! Authentication successful.』

Click—

The jewel box opened by itself. And, fitting its small size, there were no jewels inside.

From the empty jewel box, a three-dimensional image seemed to be projected like a hologram, and then with a ‘pop!’ light burst forth and a tiny fairy appeared.

A fairy wearing a fluttering yellow dress and flying around on two pairs of thin wings.

—Hello, new master.

“Huh? Uh… uh!”

“W-Wow! A fairy, a fairy!”

“I couldn’t get registered as the master…. Hng!”

“Wow! Wow!”

—Are you the new master?

“Huh? Yeah.”

The fairy flying before my eyes had appeared through magical imagery like a hologram, yet it had substance.

I lightly poked it with a finger, and I could feel the touch. A real fairy.

Even in my previous life, where I lived for 31 years in the Battlefield of the Gods, I never got to see this much. In this life, I was seeing a lot of things in my fifth year. How many people have actually seen a fairy in person?

—Then I will begin master registration. Master, I’ll eat well! Nom!

The fairy, gently swimming through the air and circling around me once, passed over my right shoulder and bit my ear with a ‘chomp!’

I don’t know whether it drew blood, but what surprised me most was that this tiny fairy had pierced my body, which had the talents of ‘Enhanced Body’ and ‘Regeneration.’

“Uh? Ah, no!!”

Arun’s scream came out of nowhere. While the whole party was startled, Arun collapsed to the spot and cried out, tearing at his hair.

“This can’t be!! A fairy… a fairy!! A fairy sucking blood! My dream? My romance? My fantasy!! Die!!”

“Hey, hey! Hold him back! Hold him back!!”

I had already taken out and gripped the ‘Branch of the World Tree,’ and everyone around was trying to hold back Arun, who at a glance looked like he was trying to attack me.

『...You really are a diverse bunch of members. In any case, you have been registered as the owner of the Nisten Empire’s slush-fund storage box. Consult the administrator for details.』

A message appears, almost as if the caretaker ego had changed because of the ego the Creator gave me as a bonus, and it was sighing while looking at Arun.

And what’s with this fantasy about fairies? Even while restrained by the other members, Arun kept sniffing and repeating, ‘A fairy… a vampire….’

No wonder the ego sighed.

But wait.

“Administrator?”

—Yes! Master!

“You?”

The fairy, flapping its two pairs of wings and blinking its bright eyes as it flew around me, apparently held the title of administrator.

The thing staring at me with eyes that seemed to be urging me to ask it questions reminded me of Tinker Bell, who stalked Peter Pan.

At that gaze attack, I looked at Hazel and Lee Hyo-ju, but the two women were observing me with smiles on their lips, as if something was that amusing.

A strange smile, as if to say, ‘We found your weakness!’

“R-right…. Then could you show me the contents inside first?”

—Yes, master.

Spinning—pop!

Spinning in the air and performing tricks like a hero from a girls’ comic, images rose one by one in my mind along with white smoke.

They were categorized like a school bag, into separate categories.

Three main ones.

Jewels, divine power stones, and elixirs.

Within the jewel category, more finely subdivided jewels were listed.

What surprised me most, of course, was the elixirs. Why were elixirs in here?

“Why is this…?”

To my question, the thing that I couldn’t tell whether it was a fairy or a vampire giggled and answered.

—Because they’re jewels.

“…I see.”

When I asked it to take out any elixir, it flew over with a cute grunt of ‘Heave-ho!’ while carrying a jewel as big as its own body.

When I placed the elixir in my hand and activated ‘Check,’ item information flowed up in a cascade.

[High-Grade Mana Elixir]
 
It is an elixir, not a medicinal potion. Since it has a blue sapphire sheen, it was also called a ‘sapphire elixir.’
 
If consumed by a being with a mana stat of 55 or lower, considerable pain may follow.
 
—(When consumed) mana stat +90.
 
—(When used in item crafting) mana stat +70. Mana affinity slightly increases.
 
“...Wait. How many elixirs are there?”
 
—The total number of elixirs is 89. Including the elixir you are currently holding, there are exactly 90.

“Crazy….!”

I couldn’t easily close my mouth at the class of such an empire that ruled the continent.
