I found three equipments that had CD reduction which I liked. There were more equipments in the shop that provided CD reduction but these three looked more unique in my eyes–

•Iron Hunting Bow
+10% CD reduction
Costs: 900 Gold
_________________
This equipment provides 10% CD reduction for a cost of 900 gold. This equipment is my best bet in increasing my CD reduction to 100%, as this is the cheapest equip I could find that would increase my CD reduction. Also I could rebuy any stat equipments as many times as I want, meaning I could keep buying this equipment until my CD reduction reaches 100%. With simple math, I realised that it would only cost me 9k gold to increase my CD reduction to 100%. Well, 9k wasn't really a small amount but I had previously thought that it would be take me much more then that to reach 100% so I really felt that it was a small number...

Sigh... Now, This equipment makes the other two look like scams... Even the unique passive in this equipment is something that I would want...
Looking at the three equipment's descriptions, I got a headache. I was confused as to what I should choose. If I wanted to increase my battle strength then I should probably choose the third equipment but I had made a decision before to increase my CD reduction to 100% before thinking about anything else and if I go according to that, then I should choose the first equip as that would be the most helpful for CD reduction...
The second equipment was also a good option as it would provide me more things then the first equipment while costing way less then the third equipment... Though the second option was the least tempting for me...
I scratched my hair with a frown on my face as I looked at the three options in front of me. This felt like my life's toughest choice, even though it wasn't.
As I muled over what equipment to take and how I was gonna use the 10k I have now, Androsi seemed to notice my peculiar state.
I was rubbing my head constantly as my hair became a mess. A deep frown was apparent on my forehead and One of my hand was in the air as I pointed towards an invisible system window that only I could see... all these combined must have made me look like a madmen in her eyes.
'Is he going insane?'
"Amin... Are you okay? Don't think of those two too much, Alright?" She had slightly panicked voice which she tried to hide as she called out to me though something in her sentance cought my attention...
'Those two' I knew who were the two people that Androsi was talking about but it instead made me remember my two teammates... and my frown deepend even more.
"Don't think too much Amin. People die all the time in this Tower and a person who can't get over even just this much will never be able to make it far in the Tower" Androsi said in a more soothing tone then before.
"I know! If it bothers you so much, then you should grow stronger! Even though I don't know the circumstance that those two died in, but I know anything can be prevented if you are strong enough! You can't do anything for the people who have died already but think of the people that you would meet in the future! Do you want them to die as well? Do you want your loved one's to always die while you can't even do a single thing? if not, then become stronger! Becoming crazed will do you no good, Instead, try growing stronger! Becoming stronger is the only way you will be able to protect the people you care about! So STOP BECOMING CRAZY AND WAKE UP!" She started shaking me from my shoulder after her 'speech', Though, I kinda felt disgusted by it more then anything...
'...Was she trying to be a shounin protagonist? she is sounding so cringe...'
Of course, I also noticed that she was calling me crazy which, I am not! I felt like she was picking a fight with me but I still controlled myself and decided to focus on her current actions... She was shaking me too hard..
Trying to stop her from shaking me too much, I decided to speak up. That seemed to be exactly what she wanted me to do as she immediately smiled brightly upon seeing me start to speak but as soon as I completed my sentence, Her expression became complicated as she looked at the side trying to avoided eye contact with me...
"And? What do you think I should do to grow stronger?" I asked in a bit more plain tone then normal.
"...Urg... To be honest... I don't know what you should do to increase your strength... I mean, if you can make those clones, even if just two, you can said to be extremely strong as those clones would give you an overwhelming advantage over your opponens in a fight... (You even defeated me with them! so of course you are strong!)... You already have good physical capabilities and speed so I... Don't know how... Sorry..." This seemed to make her feel down for some reason as she looked down to the ground with a bit of a complicated expression...
Though her mood soured, My mood was slightly lifted as something in her words just now, made me feel like a solution to a puzzle.
In my fight with Androsi, the only reason I won was because I was able to finish the fight withing 10 seconds as any more then that and my clones would be on cooldown leaving me to deal with Androsi alone... That would be a disadvantageous position for me as Androsi only needed two proper hits to defeat me and I would be needing to wait for 3 seconds before dealing any real damage to her...
But what if my clones could stay more then ten seconds? Or, rephrasing that, what if I could summon my clones instantly after they disappear?
What if I could spam my [Force Swing] Skill?
What if I could spam my [Ninjutsu: sheild] skill?
What if my passive, which had a cooldown of 3 seconds, didn't go on cooldown ever? and the two times movement speed buff became always in affect?
I relay too much on my skills and the only thing that can be said to be a weakness of mine would be that my skills go on cooldown too much...
Just as Androsi had said a second ago, My clone's give me an extremely high advantage in battle, and the only weakness I would ever encounter would be the cooldown... which can be solved with just increasing the stat 'CD reduction'. This would be the fastest way to grow stronger so why did I even need the third equipment? or the second one? The only thing I needed was to increase the CD reduction stat to 100%.
Why was I even thinking that much about the three equipment's anyway? I had already made a plan to increase my CD reduction to 100%, I should have went with that without thinking much. Why was I doubting so much even though I had made a plan?
I felt stupid for doubting my own plan that I had made after careful consideration and Promised myself to not doubt myself like that ever again... or At least try not to doubt myself...
After all that, I took a deep breath and smiled as I gave the system a command.
'System, buy the first equipment, ten times...'
... The system didn't respond but I knew that the task was done. it had never responded about a task being completed, ever. I had read many novels where MC's system would keep on going 'ding' for everything and to be honest... I would have preferred that as that way, I would at least know that the thing I had asked for was done or not...
_______________
Ding! Congratulations to the user! You have maxed out a stat!

"..." I'll ignore whatever happened just there...

POV NARRRATER.....
A blond haired man with yellow eyes walked behind a smaller man with red hair and brown skill. They were walking towards a particular room that was filled with five regulars all of whom were the survivors of the second testing area.
It didn't take long for the two to reach the room. they entered and introduced themselves to the five regulars. Then, Yu Han Sung, the blond haired man, started telling the group about what was planned for their group.
He told them that their number wasn't what they had wanted it to be so they would be combined with another group from the first testing area...
while he was explaining these, He had been looking towards all the regulars very carefully... well, he wasn't quite 'observing' them, he was more like, 'looking for someone' in that group.
Unfortunately, for some reason he couldn't find 'the one' he was looking for and as his explanation came to a close, he had to leave with Quant Blitz, the red haired man.
After coming out of the room, he excused Quant, and narrowed his eyes with a thoughtful expression on his face. After which, he turned around and walked towards a specific room in the Evankhel's ship that only a few people could access.
The only thing in his mind at this moment was, 'Where, is the yellow haired girl?'
Yu Han Sung had been feeling extremely happy from this morning because he was informed that a 'God' candidate has emerged. after waiting for who knows how long, a 'God' candidate has finally emerged.
Though this person has only become a 'God' candidate in FUGs eyes, for Yu Han Sung, he was already a 'God', his God... He had already met him and was impressed. even though the boy was nothing right now, he had full capabilities to become his God. Not to mention that the heart of the boy was also quite pure... Only those two things were already enough to make Yu Han Sung consider the boy, his God...
To make sure that his God fulfills their duties, A 'key' was arranged by someone that was extremely important for his God. A yellow haired key... but the key was now missing...
Yu Han Sung was currently, going towards the control room. He wanted to know where the yellow haired key has gone off to. The light house camera that was made to follow the yellow key around should have recorded where the yellow key was now...
....
The next chapter will start the crown games... Finally... (I don't know why it took me soo long...)
