Chapter 30: The Abyssal Void Sword
The glowing store screen hovered before Shin, its endless list of treasures shining with temptation.
Ding!
Please select weapon grade.
Shin rubbed his chin.
> "Hmm… let's see. Definitely not trash like that rusted dagger. I need something real, something worthy of me."
He selected Divine Grade weapons.
Instantly, names appeared:
Eternal Sword – 200,000 Mission Points
Sun-Moon Spear – 180,000 Mission Points
Chaos Halberd – 250,000 Mission Points
Shin's eyes widened.
> "What the hell… so expensive! I've only got 10,000 points. Not even close."
Shaking his head, he scrolled downward and switched to Magical Grade Treasures.
The list refreshed, filling with dozens of weapons. But one entry caught his eyes immediately—its name radiated a sinister chill:
Abyssal Void Sword – 8,200 Mission Points.
Shin tapped on it, and a dark description unfolded:

Shin's eyes burned with excitement.
> "A million-year-old sword… growth type… it evolves with me. And it only costs 8,200 points. Perfect!"
Without hesitation, he confirmed the purchase.
Ding!
Congratulations, Host! You have obtained: Abyssal Void Sword.
A swirl of darkness erupted from the system screen. Slowly, a long black sword materialized before Shin. Its blade was pitch black, etched with faint crimson runes that pulsed like veins. The moment Shin grasped its hilt, a chilling aura surged outward, filling the hut.
The sword vibrated, releasing a low hum—like the whisper of a hungry beast.
Shin smirked.
> "So you want blood, huh? Don't worry. I'll feed you plenty."
On the translucent screen, new words appeared:
Abyssal Void Sword (Stage 1/10,000,000)
Abilities Unlocked:
Blood Absorption: Gains strength with every kill.
Void Edge: Ignores armor and low-level spiritual defenses.
Evolution Potential: Unknown.
Shin twirled the sword, its blade whistling through the air. He could feel the killing intent leaking from it, as if eager to taste its first prey in his hands.
> "This… this is my real weapon."
The battlefield had given him titles. The mission gave him points. But this sword… this was the beginning of something terrifying.
