What appeared in my hand was a black mask made out finely carved dark ebony wood.
It was a rather terrifying and fiendish mask to look at actually. Its features were like that of a horned demon writhing in flames or things you'd see right out of your nightmares. But at the same time, I couldn't help be marvel at the level of craftsmanship.
It was a terrifying mask, but was very life like. Disturbingly so. The craftsmanship was particularly splendid with the details. Every curve and denture was perfectly in place. And the surfaces of the mask was lined with slight dark silver details that blended neatly to the demon in flames.
That's what I called it, demon in flames.
"Am I supposed to wear this?" I felt like I'd have nightmares for days. Plus, what exactly am I supposed to do with a mask?
With that question, the description appeared before my eyes once more.
...
[Name: Murmur's Mask
Type: Artifact
Rank: Mythic
Class: King
Tier: 5
Description: There once was a legendary traveler, an adventurer who sought out the wealth, secrets, and the truths of the world, and indeed he succeeded. He heard a whisper...the loudest murmur about the truth of the hidden of the world, but unable to withstand it, he ran mad.
The whispers plunged him to insanity, and towards the end of his insane life, he carved a certain mask, and inside of it, are the hidden forbid truths... left within are the whispers and murmurs. Note: the enigmatic mask is said to hold the whispers of a thousand secrets and allure.]
...
"It's another Artifact."
Hey, wasn't I supposed to be unlucky?
To my pleasant surprise, the second reward was another Artifact, with the name Murmur's Mask.
The description was quite a lot more descriptive and detailed when compared to the description of the Solomon's Ring. But it also had its own fair share of disturbing information.
'Are all Artifacts like this?' I said inwardly.
[Artifacts are sort of mementoes or items or charms which have gained certain degrees of individuality, often influenced by the long span of time spent with their original owner's or certain events. Every Artifact tells a story about a period long gone or forgotten. Or one to come.]
'So Artifacts are objects which have developed a sort of individuality after a long period, and due to certain events?'
That was more or less what I understood.
That's kind of disturbing....
I think I had heard about something very similar to this in some folklore back on earth.
'Every Artifact tells a story, about one long gone....or one to come.'
Deep.
Disturbing. But deep.
I dismissed the thoughts, went through the description one more time, then continued on to the Enchantment.
There were just three Enchantments this time,, with one almost similar but theoretically different to an Enchantment of the Ring of Solomon.

{Bond}: This spear can only be lifted and used by the one bonded with it.
{Sky Break}: Even the skies shudder at the Goliath. Pierce the skies, and defile the earth, there is no target Goliath can't 'reach'
{Thunder Coating}:You have unlocked the thunder elemental attribute of the spear which allows you to wrap the Goliath indefinitely in thunder and lightning.]

What the fuck?
Rank God Slayer.
This was the first time I was seeing such bullshit!
