Elicia after calming down,a bell of notification rang in Elicia's head and saw a pop out closed letter.She quickly sat down from her bed and clicked the enclosed letter before reading the contents.

Letter of Apology
Dear Players of Feidovia,
We Deities detected a bug where an NPC(Non-Player Character) became a player.We are currently fixing the bug and make sure that in the future,no NPC:Human or Elves who kills a player become a player and no player's job being transferred to the killer NPC.
As an apology,the Deities decided to give you a gift.
Elicia saw a tiny picture of gold worth 100,000 below the letter.
Elicia decided to call Zeke."Zeke!!!ZEKE!!"
She heard a motion outside her tent."How do I get this blue thing out of my eyes?",she asked.
"If I tell you,will you come out and eat dinner with us? I'll teach you how to use the system."
Elicia bit hit lower lip.'I still felt embarrassed to face Zeke's friends but that doesn't mean I should run.I have to know who this people are and what's their purpose in coming Feidovia.'
"Ok.Now tell me how to get this thing out of my sight."
"Say 'System close'."she heard Zeke said.
"System close."
Elicia blinked when the system disappeared from her sight before going out of her tent.She followed Zeke to the camp fire but then stopped when another notification bell rang.
A window of notification pop out.

"I thought it was a rock.I never thought it's an egg.System close.",Elicia said after reading the content.The system closed.
Elicia sat beside Zeke at the campfire.
Minji smiled at Elicia.
"Hi!I'm Minji!28 years old.This is Jay.He is 22 years old.",Minji then pointed at Jay then at Xyrus,"Xyrus.18 years old." and lastly at Zeke,"Zeke.20 yrs old."
"I'm Elicia.18 years old.",Elicia introduce herself politely.
"I have so many questions.",Elicia said.
"I know.We have questions too.But we we'll start introducing ourselves.Oh.Here.Xyrus got this from the civilians.We really didn't have time to hunt.Sorry.We'll hunt for food tomorrow morning.",Minji said and gave Elicia a box of bread.
Elicia smiled and accepted the box."No.This is okay.But I'm still full.", she said and just looked at the box.
"Actually,we are Players.Last eight years ago,different portals of dungeon scattered all around the world of ours and humans became players.Dungeons are home of monsters.We Players need to clear the dungeon because monsters comes out of the dungeon if we leave the dungeons unclear and we Players level up by killing monsters.There are ten classes of dungeon:F,E,D,C,B,A,AA,S,SS,SSS+.And this world,is an Class SSS+ dungeon in our world.",Minji said explained.
Elicia's grip weakened at the box on her lap while looking at Minji.There are only eight levels of dungeons in Feidovia and the highest is Class S.Shocked and horror can be seen in her eyes.
'Class SSS+ Dungeon?'
The Next Day
[Winxtath Kingdom]
Marilyn sitting down on her throne looked at the man wearing black cloak kneeling,raising the golden box as if offering it to the queen.
The man standing beside Marilyn bowed."Your Highness,this man was sent by Keethra Kingdom.",he said and gave Marilyn a scroll.
Marilyn opened the scroll.It was a message written by the King of Keethra.There is also a seal of Keethra Kingdom at the right side below the message.
Marilyn's face slightly laughed in disgust after reading the scroll.'The King of Keethra sure is greedy.Monster core in exchange for his soldiers drug?The core is not much powerful than my drug.Shameless.',she thought.
"Give me the box.",she said to the man standing beside her chair and gave back the scroll.The man took the box and gave it to Marilyn.
Marilyn opened the golden box and saw the monster core at the center of the box.
She then remembered her what her daughter said last night.
"I thought he got scared because he promised to propose at me in front of Elicia.But when he saw Elicia fighting that monster,I know he realized that the Elves are more powerful than us.He can't be threatened anymore.",Pearl said and cried again.
Marilyn closed the box."Tell your King I will accept this core.But this is not enough if he want the drugs for his soldiers.",Marilyn said to the man kneeling and smirked."This needs to be discussed.Don't worry.I will visit the Keethra Palace instead.You are dismissed."
Marilyn looked at the man standing beside her."Prepare a carriage.",she said and smiled evily.

"Woahhh!!The map is so detailed!!!I can see where Jay and Minji!!There's even a map of dungeons and the undiscovered dungeons!!",Elicia said,feeling amazed at the map of the Feidovia.
"Now,get your weapon out.",Xyrus excitedly said.
Zeke who just woked up and came out from his tent,saw Elicia and Xyrus sitting at the grass.Xyrus was teaching Elicia about the system.The two are happily chatting.He frowned.
"B-But..it's empty?", Elicia asked Xyrus who is teaching her.
"Huh?Empty?You sure?It should be there.My magic is at the 'JOB' too.Your unique job is a weapon collector.How could it be empty.",Xyrus said in confusion.
Elicia looked again at the right side of the five column buttons namely:

The items of the shop are finally revealed but are all locked.
"There's only one available slot.All the items in the shop are locked too.",Elicia said and selected the '[+]' of the available empty slot and her system suddenly disappeared wierdly.
She then saw a frying pan close to her face.
"You know how to cook?Jay just came back with rabbits he hunt for breakfast.He said he doesn't know how to cook.I don't know too.",she heard Zeke standing behind her,holding the frying pan.
Xyrus couldn't help but notice the way Zeke was talking more than usual and seemed to be paying more attention to Elicia than anyone else
He felt a mixture of emotions swirling inside him - a sense of jealousy that Zeke seemed to like Elicia and a hint of irritation at the fact that Zeke was usually more reserved and now suddenly more outgoing
Xyrus didn't know what to make of this sudden change in Zeke's behaviour, but he couldn't deny that it was making him feel a little uneasy*
Elicia took the frying pan in front of her from Zeke and a notification bell rang.
"Uhm.I don't know too.Should we call Minji?", Elicia heard Xyrus awkwardly asked Zeke.
Elicia look at the pop out window of notification sight entitled 'Congratulations'.She read the message with her eyes and she couldn't believe it.
CONGRATULATIONS!
YOU NOW HAVE YOUR FIRST WEAPON COLLECTED!
ITEM

The Weapon Collector player needs to discover the true power of this weapon.
"H-h-huh?It became my weapon.The frying pan is now my weapon!!",Elicia said in shock.
The two was also shocked at Elicia's words.
"System close.",Elicia said,closing the system and slowly raised the frying pan at the level of her eyes.The three quietly stared at the frying pan weirdly with a lot of thoughts.
