MMORPG: Rebirth as an Alchemist

Within the opulent walls of her ivory fortress, the White Queen guarded a vast trove of spoils plundered from defeated adversaries. The hallowed halls resonated with the silent grandeur of countless art objects, magical artifacts, and untold riches, meticulously arranged to enhance the ethereal beauty of the citadel.

Amidst this wealth, the White Queen herself stood as the epitome of regal authority and prestige. Adorned with her customary symbols of power, her every step exuded an air of unassailable command.

One such artifact, the coveted [Orb of Rulership], perpetually rested in her grasp, serving as a tangible testament to her dominion. Its gleaming surface, infused with arcane energy, mirrored the splendor of her realm, and she regarded it with unwavering possessiveness.

Yet, in the wake of their overwhelming victory, the White Queen found herself moved by the sheer magnitude of Ren and Elena's triumph.

As a gesture of respect and recognition for their exceptional skill, she made a rare and astonishing decision. She extended her hand, relinquishing her treasured [Orb of Rulership] and placing it into their care, an unparalleled act of generosity.

Usually, the White Queen, ever mindful of the intricate threads of fate, proffered a different offering for those who won. From the alabaster branches of her sacred tree, the [Ruby Apple], or commonly known as the [Royal Apple of the White Queen] is radiant and enticing. This precious fruit, imbued with mystical energy, was a symbol of her favor and goodwill, a token of her appreciation for anyone who emerged victorious from her games.

Such was the magnitude of the White Queen's concession, for the [Orb of Rulership] held immense value, not just in its material worth but also in its significance as a symbol of authority.

In that instance, the White Queen's graceful acceptance of defeat became a testament to her character and a testament to the spirit of fair play that transcended the boundaries of victory and loss.

As the [Orb of Rulership] changed hands, a profound sense of awe settled upon Ren.

While Elena went to Prince Zeroth to check up on him, Ren was busy checking his loot.

• Summon the Alabaster Army at your command. 8 pawns. 2 rooks. 2 knights. 2 bishops. 1 Queen and 1 King.

Ren readily read the description of his newly acquired army and couldn't help but be on cloud nine.

Ren was ecstatic, and he immediately attuned the item to him with ease. His [Atunement] life skill was already MAX thanks to the [God's Fruits] that he acquired.

*Golden and God's Fruits are the same. The real name is God's Fruit, but since its color is gold, it is often times called Golden Fruit.

Ren was contemplating whether to auction it or not. He could always attune it to someone else if he did sell it, but . . . he felt like it would be a waste if he did auction it.

At a minimum, he could probably sell this for at least ten, maybe fifteen million, and he could probably replicate it again if he acquired the recipes from Vanadon-Necroth's lair.

However . . . he might needed it, so Ren decided to keep it . . . for now.

"Ren."

Elena's sweet voice flickered Ren's attention to her and Prince Zeroth's approaching figures.

The Princess looked happy, at least, but the Prince's expression was grim.
