Delayed Transfer

Mark went to the First Floor of the dungeon to identify all of the items that he kept there.  There were three full armor set of rare green items.  Two leather armor set and one cloth armor set for mages.  He wondered why there were no heavy armor set.  There were also a full leather set and mage cloth set of the magic blue rarity.  An armor set consisted of headgear, shirt or robe, pants, bracers and shoes and together with a weapon, a total of six items, were just right for his General Skill Auto Equip where he could assign up to six items to automatically equipped and unequipped from Inventory.  He almost forgot about his necklace but he never took it off anyways.

He identified all the items and when he briefly examined the rare green armor sets, the parameters were still mostly the same.  An added two to stats depending on the set piece location plus a mixture of common parameters like defense, faster walk slash run, HP per kill, MP per kill, etc. Unfortunately no skills were found attached to any of the rare green items which was expected. 

Regarding the magic blue rarity items, it was actually the same with the green with enhanced number of data per parameter.  Instead of plus two, it was plus three to stats.  Instead of 25 defense, it was thirty and so on.  He replaced his outdated gear with new ones.  Mark was getting confused so he reminded himself that dungeon items consisted of normal white, rare green, magic blue, legendary purple and mythical orange.  Full unique set items with additional extra parameters when equipped together were red.

His total gear inventory right now was first: the set he was wearing which was a full mage cloth armor set of magic blue rarity plus a blue magic cane, the one he was planning to keep for party use which was a full rare green leather armor set, full magic blue leather armor set and variety of magic blue weapons consisting of three magic blue sword, three magic blue knives, three magic blue spear, three magic blue hatchet and three magic blue shield.  The rest he destroyed.

Mark’s goal was to replace all the items that he had stored from rare green items to magic blue items. He planned to keep three sets of every item stored on his First Floor cabinet that he set up for dungeon items.   More than likely, the next tier items which were the legendary purple items would only appear either on the Tenth Floor or higher.

Since he had sorted all of his current dungeon items and stored them on the cabinet, he decided to go back to his bedroom and rest.

The next morning, Mark continued his routine workout and was finally able to reach his ideal weight of one hundred and fifty pounds.  He examined his body on his bathroom mirror and he admitted to himself that he now looked like one of those hot Korean fitness influencers.  He never really considered the implications of looking like that since he thought that he would stay obese until he died which was suppose to be early probably due to diabetes or heart attack.  

The first thing that entered his mind having this great body was how easy it was to move and breathe.  The next was for him to get a girlfriend but even though he thought he looked hot, he was still that awkward otaku who was too shy and awkward to talk to girls.  It would probably change someday since now he looked the way he looked but for now he was the way he was.

Another thing Mark needed to be careful of when it came to relationship was to make sure to not consider having a serious one since he was leaving for another world.  He did still have physical needs so it was okay to be with girls for physical satisfaction once in while.   

After his workout,  Mark planned to continue dungeon diving because he really wanted to reach at least the Tenth Floor of the Dungeon as soon as possible before dealing with real life matters but he received a call from John. 

John asked him if his friend could talk to him regarding what happened in the hospital.   Mark asked why, since they both knew the same thing.  John then said that his friend, well more like an acquaintance, was an agent of someone very influential and rich and they were reaching out to people who were there for more information.  Mark then thought that maybe this was the chance that he was thinking of, regarding earning legitimate funds.  Without asking for more details, he agreed which surprised John.

Mark agreed to meet with the guy on seven eleven where he used to work after a couple of hours.  John said that he would advise his friend.  Before hanging up, Mark asked him, how Juliet was doing and John happily said that she was doing more than alright.  He said that Juliet was more healthy than before and was actually very active. 

Mark then asked John when he was returning back to work and he said that probably in a week or two, so he was treasuring his time right now with his family.  Mark then asked if they need money and John immediately replied that they were doing okay.  Mark told John that he was really happy for him.

After the phone call ended,  Mark called Sam to find out how was the project and Sam said that everything was going wonderfully.  He then asked Sam if they were still going to go ahead with the planned raid this Saturday on the game.  Mark thought for a bit and said yes.  He knew that there were limited time for him to be with his friends, even only if it was online, before he left so wanted to be with them when there was still a chance. 

Mark went to the store after an hour to meet with John’s friend.  When he got there, the man was actually already waiting for him. 

“Mr. Baker, good afternoon.  My name is Robert Cohen.” The guy said while reaching out to shake his hands.

“Hello.  Please call me Mark.”  He said immediately.  He really did not like his last name.  It was so..common.  It was his grandmother’s last name on his father’s side.  His father used his mother’s last name instead of his father’s since he actually never knew the man.
