Slave Harem in the Labyrinth of the Other World (LN)

Volume 6 - Ch 5.6

That is because it has a one million monsters worth of magic power stored within it, which also means that it is going to fetch the best possible price if I were to sell it at the Adventurers Guild. I already have a Green Magic Crystal on me which has ten thousand monsters worth of magic power stored inside of it.

Now, one of the things I could do is to fuse the Yellow Magic Crystal that the Bandits had on them, but if I assume that their Yellow Magic Crystal has around nine hundred thousand magic power units and my own Green Magic Crystal has close to one hundred thousand units of magic power in it, then that would lead to some waste of potential magic power if I merged these two together.

So instead of doing that, I decided to merge just the Magic Crystals that Bandits had on them together. However, when I finished doing that, the Yellow Magic Crystal did not turn into White Magic Crystal. This is a bit of a shame, but nothing worth wailing over for too long. Ill just keep the Green Magic Crystal in my Item Box and Ill fight while having the Yellow Magic Crystal on me to turn it into a White Magic Crystal as soon as possible.

The one in my Item Box is the one that Im going to be using; and any ready to sell ones are going to be kept in Sherrys Item Box. As for any of the extras of the items that we have, like this old Copper Spear that Sherry used at one point its off to the storeroom with them.

While being alone in the storeroom, I performed a Character Reseton myself, allocating some of my Bonus Points intoBonus Equipment, andSecond Accessory. Then I equipped the Ring of Determination on myself. Its the first accessory I saw when I came to this world; but now that I think about it, I never actually bothered to check what it does.

When I finished theCharacter Reset, the ring appeared on the forefinger of my left hand.

Accessory: Ring of Determination

Skills:Attack Power Increase,Personal Enhancement

And there it is: The Ring of Determination.

I had been curious since I usedIdentify on the one that I got from one of the defeated Bandits, and looking at it now, the accessory granted to me by the Bonus EquipmentBonus Skill and the one that Sherry was wearing on her hand are one and the same thing. The same name, the same look, and most likely the same two Skills. Now it just makes me wonder, are there people other than me that can useCharacter Resetin this world?

The Ring of Determination I made is brand new, while that other one was dull and filled with scratches. Those are the key differences between them that I can tell from having just a single glance at it.

I usedCharacter Reset again, putting away the Ring of Determination that I got from my Bonus Equipmentand then I put on the ring from the Bandit. Sadly, theSecond Accessory] Skill didnt light up. If it had, I could have gotten my hands on five whole Bonus Points, but since thats impossible then lets just leave it at that. Now, on to a different experiment.

I usedCharacter Reset] to activateSecond Accessory] Bonus Skill and then swap my own Ring of Determination with the Ring of Determination left behind by the Bandit. It seems I can disable it, so I did it without any kind of hesitation or second guessing.

The Ring of Determination disappears, and theres no abnormalities showing in my Bonus Points. When I activateSecond Accessory again, the ring re-appears, but this time, it looks brand new as well. All of the traces of any wear and tear that it once bore are gone. Its almost as if Character Resetjust took the old one and replaced it with an entirely new item, essentially giving me another copy of The Ring of Determination that is pretty much indistinguishable from the one that I gave to Sherry.

Happy with how this experiment turned out, I cancelSecond Accessory and return to the lounge with the new ring in tow.

Sherry, do you know if Master Smiths can make something like this? And if so, does it require any kind of special Skills or rare materials?

I asked Sherry about the Ring of Determination.

Its the Ring of Determination from earlier?

Yes, the very same one.

Then it needs to be obtained through a Fixation.

A. Fixation?

So there seems to be a method of obtaining it after all.

Thats right, but youll not be able to do it if youre not a part of a Guild.

Oh.

Well, shit.

The blessing of Fixation can be received at the Guild temple, but if you receive the blessing, you wont be able to change your Job anymore. But even so, it is believed that you become stronger thanks to it because the blessing that you receive comes directly from the guardian deity of the Guild.

So thats what a Fixation is. Also, thereare guardian deities in the Guild temples?

Are there really guardian deities in the Guild temples?

Nobody has actually met one before, so I dont know if theyre real or not.

As usual, Sherry maintained her rational view of the world.

So, Fixation is essentially the same as locking in a Job for yourself?

Yes. When going through that process, an accessory might appear on the person, and its assumed to be a gift from the Guilds guardian deity.

Like this ring here?

Im not certain, but I think it is highly likely that it came from a Fixation.

I dont know what Sherry thinks when I take out Durandal the way I usually do it. Maybe she thinks that Im taking it out from my Item Box every time? That would make sense since I can use the Item Box without the incantation, meaning that I can take things out of it pretty much instantaneously.

Is there anyone else in this world that can take out their items like I do? Or maybe its actually that Fixation might be related toCharacter Resetand Bonus Points?

There is already a connection that points to that.

When you take out an accessory and put it on, it becomes impossible to change your Job.

And since you get Bonus Points from each level up, it becomes impossible to switch to a lower-level Job while youre using that particular accessory. But thats not all.

Supposedly, you become stronger with Fixation, and Bonus Points can also be used to increase the value of your Stats.

Do you know what kind of equipment appears when Fixation occurs?

It seems to vary for each person. There are Mages and Wizards who get swords, and sword users who get canes. Fixation always creates equipment with a Skill added to it, but very rarely something amazing appears.

Its a little different from me then. I only use Durandal as a Bonus Weapon.

What kind of people can perform Fixation?

Its quite easy to get the blessing if youve been doing the Job for a number of years, and the increased strength and bonus equipment are always good to have. But since you cant change your Job after Fixation, its normally done by people who are already thinking about retirement. If a good piece of equipment comes out it can be passed down to your descendants as a family heirloom though.

Its not quite what I was asking, but it doesnt matter. So the process is random? Is there no rules to it at all?

The armor that I get from Bonus Equipment is equipment meant for men. If a woman gets Bonus Equipment, it would not be strange if something different appeared for them.

If the Ring of Determination came from Fixation, then I guess you could really think of it as something related to the Bonus Equipment, and since the total amount of Bonus Points that you can have on you is based on your level, then it is going to be much more profitable for you if you raise your level as far as you can to have as much of them as possible, and that leads me to the following hypothesis: that if a person who has been actively using their Job for many years is going to get the access to the Fixations blessing more easily, then that seems like enough evidence that Fixation really requires Bonus Points to me.

However, these are just my own thoughts on the matter, and in order to truly determine whether or not Fixation and Bonus Points are truly related to one another, some additional investigation will have to be carried out.

After hearing the story about Fixation from Sherry, I checked the Intelligence Cards again. There were eight of them in total. For now, even though they are taking some of the space in my Item Box, I think that Ill hold onto them for just a little while longer.
