The MP boost is definitely a welcome bonus, Daisuke thought, feeling pleased. Man, legendary items are really something else—extra stats and all. He couldn't help but grin, eager to see what else was there. Let's see what's next...

[Celestial Cube (White)]

Celestial Cube... Daisuke mused, savoring the sweet taste of the berry on his tongue. Now that I think about it, the first time I got one of these was from Casimir, but I never took the time to check it out. I think I got these other drops back then, too.

Anyway, let's start with the cube.

Quantity: White x4 | Blue x1 | Orange x0 | Gold x0

Rarity: Epic

[While humans drew inspiration from Cedric's groundbreaking work, which led to the creation of Reinforcement Tablets, the Dwarves pursued their own path, ultimately developing the Celestial Cube. This rare and precious artifact is used in tandem with Reinforcement Tablets to further enhance the process of equipment reinforcement. Each Celestial Cube is crafted to fit seamlessly into the center of a tablet, significantly amplifying its effects.

The alchemists who viewed Cedric's work as sacred were outraged by the Dwarves' audacious adaptation of their technology. They saw the Celestial Cube as a brazen act of exploitation, believing that their invention had been undermined and reduced to a mere stepping stone for the Dwarves' innovations. The mere thought of any symbiotic relationship between their work and that of the Dwarves was enough to ignite disdain and bitterness.

However, this enmity did little to deter the masses. Despite the alchemists' resentment, people eagerly embraced the powerful combination of both artifacts, merging the Reinforcement Tablets with the Celestial Cube to elevate their equipment's strength.

Item Effects:

Celestial Cubes come in four distinct tiers and the rarity and value increases by each increment. Each successive tier carries the effects of the previous:

▪︎ White: Increases the chance of success

▪︎ Blue: Prevents the decrease of maximum durability

▪︎ Orange: Prevents the destruction of the weapon

▪︎ Gold: When the reinforcement process of an item with a reinforcement level of +4 or greater fails, the reinforcement level is maintained at +4]

Daisuke arched one brow unenthusiastically. "Okay then, that's a bit much to process right now. So tell you what, I'll come back to this when I'm actually ready to start reinforcing my gear. Next up is..."

The moment Daisuke's eyes landed on the first complex sentence, his expression instantly dulled. Without a second thought, he bypassed it entirely, moving on without a word.
