Description: A mysterious necklace made by stringing together bones of an unknown skull.

The Skeletal Bone Necklace, a remarkable piece of jewelry. Not only does it enhance intelligence, but it also grants a significant boost to attack speed.

And at the price of only 4,600 gold, it offers incredible value.

For players who have diligently collected gold, its an item that screams cost-effectiveness. However

Due to the presence of the intelligence stat, not many people will choose to purchase it.

Examining the status window reveals detailed explanations for each stat. Intelligence is a valuable attribute that enhances magical damage, mental prowess, and mental speed.

But it appears to be of little use to physical-based jobs. After all, it primarily boosts magical damage.

Thats why those pursuing physical-oriented jobs hesitate to invest in items with intelligence.

While the increase in attack speed is enticing, its not enough to sway their decision.

On the flip side, the same applies to magic-based professions. This item fails to capture their interest.

After all, it features an attack speed effect, which holds little relevance for skill-centric hunting.

Consequently, this Skeletal Bone Necklace remains neglected by both sides.

However for me, its an exceptionally beneficial item.

As a hybrid class like the Reaper, Ryu Min greatly values both intelligence and attack speed.

Thus, the item proves to be a perfect fit for him.

Not only did he anticipate its release today, but he also encountered an unforeseen predicament.

What should I do? I have more gold left than expected.

Initially, his plan was to purchase the epic necklace and then allocate the remaining gold to acquire other equipmenthelmet, gloves, boots, and a ringall in normal grades, totaling 5,000 gold.

Though they are normal items, its better than nothing, so that was the plan.

Yet, upon calculating, he found himself with plenty of gold.

Even after acquiring all the remaining equipment in normal grades, Ill still have 9,000 gold. In the previous round, I only had 2,000 to 5,000 gold left

Due to an unexpected stroke of luck in his opening of the random gold pouch, his calculations went awry, catching Ryu Min off guard.

Wait, what if I dont buy the normal equipment and solely purchase the epic necklace?

After all, he had become the representative of this region.

He wielded immense power, allowing him to exert control over these individuals as if they were mere pawns.

If I so desire, I can manipulate these people like obedient slaves.

But the smile on Jo Joong-siks face quickly faded.

A memory from the previous round resurfacedan action performed by an angeland his expression contorted in displeasure.

That damn angel. Trying to toy with me!

The restrictions imposed on the Authority Title had only brought trouble upon himself.

If only they hadnt mentioned the limit of ten rounds. Then I could have treated these people like puppets at my beck and call!

Concern etched Jo Joong-siks face.

He worried that the revelation of the Power of the Authoritys limitations would cause the players to view him with disdain or worse, rebel against him.

And as if on cue

Is that person our regions representative? Life is a Documentary.

What was his real name again? Wasnt he some kind of gang boss?

Remember when he threatened us while brandishing a knife, demanding our votes?

He was swinging it around and killed people without a second thought.

And now he shamelessly appears, boasting that he will survive.

Instead of that murderer, the representative should have been Black Scythe.

Shh, he might hear you! He still has the Power of the Authority, you know.

What difference does it make? Since it has limitations, theres no need to be afraid.

Youre right. With the limitation, he cant use it recklessly, can he?

Whispers filled the air as people conversed among themselves.

Jo Joong-sik glared at them, his eyes brimming with suspicion, before bellowing.

I can hear every word, you bastards!

Why is this idiot swearing and acting like that?

What? Who said that? Who spoke just now?

Muffled murmurs echoed, but amidst the crowd, it was impossible to pinpoint the exact source.

Jo Joong-siks face twisted with anger.

The authority of a regional representative was weakened by the revelation of the restrictions.

Damn it, I knew it would turn out like this. These damn idiots, and those damn angels!

Having forcefully taken the position of regional representative, Jo Joong-sik didnt enjoy a favorable reputation.

Except for one individual.
