Damien opened his system interface and equipped the Wolf King's Armor Set. One by one, the pieces materialized over his body in a faint shimmer of light.
The helmet resembled the head of a wolf, its fanged maw open to reveal his face, the design fierce and regal. The chestplate molded tightly around his torso, layered with thick, silvery wolfen hide that glowed faintly under light. His gauntlets bore retractable claws that gleamed like sharpened steel, and the greaves carried that same hide—dense, elegant, and primal.
A new window appeared before his eyes:
[Wolf King's Set!Wolf King's Helmet: +5% Damage Reduction | Enhanced Night Vision

Full Set Bonus – Wolf's Instinct: Allows the user to see 5 seconds into the future once per week.]
Damien's lips curved into a wide grin as he read the description. "Now this… was worth nearly dying for."
He chuckled softly. "Unlike Sung Jin-Woo, I don't need to hide my armor behind a system invisibility function. Still… probably best to keep it concealed for now. Wouldn't want anyone outside seeing me strutting around in full-on divine wolf armor while I'm still godless."
Then his eyes turned toward the last item he'd acquired—the Rune Stone.
"Alright," he muttered, holding it up between his fingers. "So I just crack it, right?"
He crushed it in his hand. The fragments dissolved like mist, and another system window emerged in front of him:
[Active Skill: Moonlight Prowl
Under low light or within shadows, the user's presence fades like that of a stalking wolf. Movement becomes silent, and speed increases by 25%, with an additional +40% Agility boost when approaching unaware enemies.Duration: 10s | Cooldown: 1m 30s]
"Oh… now this is a nice one," Damien said, impressed. The grin returned to his face as he clenched his clawed gauntlet. "Perfect for hunting."
His gaze then shifted to the Dungeon Key (D) in his inventory. "Now then… what should I do?"
The system displayed a small timer beside it. Two days had passed since he first entered.
"Two days?" he muttered. "Didn't feel like that long… maybe time flows differently here. I'll need to test that later."
The dungeon around him began to fade, its walls turning translucent before collapsing into particles of light. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing once more in the familiar stone corridors of Orario's Dungeon.
"Five days left until the tournament," he muttered. "My level still isn't great… and as someone without a Falna, going deeper might draw too much attention." His voice carried a hint of frustration. "Not that I haven't already…"
He glanced toward the flickering portal marking the Dungeon Key's entrance nestled around Floor 13.
"Damn shame," he sighed. "But I'll have to stop here. Can't keep pushing without reason."
Unhappy but resigned, Damien turned his back to the fading gate and began walking toward the upper floors, his new armor glinting faintly beneath the dim dungeon light.
...
Outside the Dungeon, Damien made his way straight to the Guild Building, a heavy pouch slung over his shoulder and another two tucked inside his inventory. The weight of his haul was ridiculous — even after sorting it, he had to divide it into three separate turn-ins. Twelve stones for now… and the massive one from the boss for last.
As he stepped inside, the familiar hum of chatter and the clinking of coin greeted him. He walked up to the reception desk, where a half-elf woman stood sorting through paperwork. Her emerald eyes lifted, and her gentle, professional smile appeared.
Eina Tulle. He recognized her immediately — the same diligent half-elf who always looked after that white-haired kid, Bell.
"Oh… this is quite the haul for a rookie adventurer," Eina said, her voice soft but clearly impressed as she examined the glittering stones Damien placed on the counter. "You must already be Level 2 — maybe even close to Level 3. Let's see…" She tapped on her chart. "Twelve stones, each valued around 2,700 Valis… that totals about 32,400 Valis. Will that be all for today?"
Damien leaned lazily against the counter, his grin mischievous. "Hmm… I don't know. You tell me — what's the daily total I need to reach before you agree to a date?"
Eina froze, eyes widening. A pink hue instantly spread across her cheeks. "O–Oh! Guild members aren't allowed to flirt with adventurers!" she stammered, turning away slightly, trying to hide her flustered expression.
"That's fine," Damien replied smoothly. "I'll save the flirting for the date itself. You just have to say yes."
Her ears twitched slightly, betraying how flustered she really was. "Aren't I… too old for you?" she asked shyly.
Damien chuckled. "Come on now, that's your excuse? We both know you're nowhere near old. Don't make me laugh."
Someone from behind grumbled impatiently, "Hey! Hurry it up, we're waiting here!"
Damien sighed and reached into his pouch, pulling out the final item — the massive, gleaming magic stone from the wolf boss. He set it down on the counter, and the faint blue glow of condensed mana caught Eina's eyes immediately.
"All right, fine," he said with a smirk. "I'll give you time to think about that date. For now, please appraise this."
Eina carefully picked it up, her delicate hands trembling slightly from the sheer energy it emitted. "Wow… this is incredible. You actually got this?"
Damien just gave her a wink in response.
Blushing again, she turned swiftly toward the back room to have it examined. A few moments later, she returned, her expression half awe, half disbelief.
"Sir this is" before Eina could continue Damien spoke "Now come on love...Drop the 'sir'...Just call me 'Damien'"
"Uhmm...Okay....Damien… this is almost a Boss-level magic stone," she said, her voice rising slightly. "Our appraisers have valued it at 75,200 Valis."
Damien whistled low. "Good for me."
Eina smiled faintly as she handed him his payment. "Thank you for your hard work, Sir— I mean, Damien."
He turned toward the exit, pocketing the heavy pouch of coins with a grin. "And thank you for being so lovely," he said smoothly over his shoulder.
Eina froze for a second, her cheeks turning a deeper red, before she sighed softly and muttered under her breath,"He must have been joking....No way such a cute boy has fallen for me right?"
