Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

In a room bathed in sunlight from its enormous windows, a stunningly beautiful young woman was sitting cross-legged on the bed that seems to be a large double bed, studying her white tattoo on the back of her hand that read "9."

''Finally, I will be able to participate in E-Rank matches. '' She spoke with a sense of relief, but there was also a hint of melancholy in her tone.

While the young woman seemed lost in thought, her door suddenly opened.

''Seraaaa, I still can't believe we won, hehe. '' A sweet young woman ran in, jumped on Seraher, and gave her a bear hug. She had blonde hair and a smile as radiant as the light coming through the room's window.

''Leas, you're acting like a child again. '' Seraher said while grinning, and she hugged her too.

''But Seraher, the match was really exciting. I really thought we were going to lose there. ''

Leas remarked as she observed Seraher's tattoo.

''You should be happy too, Seraher. You would have to start over if you lost this match after working so hard,'' Leas said with her arms crossed and a fake pout on her face.

''Yes, yes I'm happy too. '' Seraher sighed as she acknowledged her defeat.

Leas grinned in response to Seraher's acceptance.

''Hehe, Raydon Demugen, huh? I've never heard of a Demugen family member like that before. How could they hide such a genius? '' Leas pondered.

''I don't know, but I have a strong feeling that there is a drama going on in their family. ''

Seraher remarked as she peered out her window at the horizon. They were very perplexed by Raydon's impression that he was from one of the slums. He had arrived at his first match completely unprepared, and his body had the appearance of having gone without food, which made it puzzling. He also lacked the necessary knowledge.

''Anyway, since he is now an item holder, shouldn't he at least enroll in the academy? There, we can catch up with him once more and learn more about him. '' She seemed to be in her own fantasy world as she spoke, her eyes shining.

'Well I'm not so sure. ' Seraher thought as she cast a thoughtful glance at her friend.

'Hmm, am I back? ' Raydon murmured as he peered into his clean yet shabby little room.

Then he noticed the clothes on the floor beneath his feet and looked in the mirror beside him. He said as his eyes twitched at the sight of his own reflection.

''Considering I've been hanging around in this appearance for so long…

Well, whatever. '' He was troubled by his perverted appearance for a while, but then he decided to ignore it.

''Where are the system rewards? '' Raydon had the sword Gary had given him, as well as the boots and glove he was wearing, but he was unable to see anything else. Then, when he opened his dimensional storage, he discovered that everything was there.

''This little space looks like it's already filled. '' When he was faced with nearly overflowing items, he experienced mixed emotions of joy and despondency.

'Anyhow, I'll put some clothes on first, then I'll check out what I've gained. ' He decided to put on his clothes that were on the floor because he didn't want to continue to look like this.

He began to line them all up after taking each item out of his dimensional storage one at a time.

''Check out the loot, shall we? '' He stared at the items before him, excitement visible on his face.

''I have 5 sticks and 3 vines. But I'm not sure how much these are worth. '' He has set them aside for the time being despite not knowing their full value because they were very helpful in the previous game.

In addition, he set aside the mobs' parts. He didn't know how much these were worth either, but he knew they were used to craft things.

Finally, he focused on the items that the wingmen had dropped.

Along with the Silent Death's items he had killed earlier, there were also the 4-winged man's items present.

He obtained the crossbow, a pair of pants, and a jacket from the winged woman. Despite using the crossbow twice during the match, he picked it up and checked the details for the first time.

[Crossbow]

-Grade: White

-Quality: Good

-Skill: Power Shot

Focuses mana at the arrow's tip and fires an arrow with a strong explosion effect. (Damage is based on the user's spirit.)

-Mana cost: 10

-Cooldown: 20 seconds.

''Good one, I like it. '' Raydon was pleased with an item he found for the first time.

He looked at the pants and jacket after putting the crossbow back into his dimensional storage.

''Tch, did I use up all my luck on the crossbow? '' He folded the items and placed them neatly in his dimensional storage when he noticed that they were of white grade and normal quality.

''Next one is the guy with the Iron Staff. '' A lone brown robe lay in front of him, which he began to inspect. "This was the only item he dropped, I hope it's something valuable.''

[Robe]

-Grade: Green

-Quality: Good

-Skill: Accelerate

Gives the user a temporary 50% speed boost.

-Mana cost: 25

-Duration: 8 seconds.

-Cooldown: 1.5 minutes.

''It's so good, but… '' With a sigh, Raydon looked at his mana in the status window and said. ''My total mana is 10 and I don't even know if I can ever get to 20. ''

The only thing Raydon's cursed title did was give him more stamina. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to increase his other stats for a long time. Therefore, using a high-mana skill was just a dream for him at the moment.

He wasn't overly upset, though, because the item was of good quality and could be exchanged for something else useful to him.

One belt and one set of gloves were dropped by the great-sword-wielding wingman.

Although the belt was perfectly ordinary, Raydon believed he had finally found what he was looking for when he saw the gloves.
