Kaiser of the New World

Dripped out (38)

Sitting by a cozy campfire surrounded by your friends, everyone having their own gifts. The only thing missing was the milk and cookies and it would truly feel like Christmas.

Well, if there wasn't a threat of their demise looming over the group it probably would've felt like it.

The first person to look at the items was John. The burly man must've never seen one nearly jumped out of his seat when a shield made of a light brown wood appeared on his lap. His eyes then started to move back and forth, as if reading something. Once his eyes stopped moving, they started to gleam with a child like excitement.

Not wasting any more time, Kai opened his status menu to see the two items he was so graciously gifted by Failure.

The first one was a doozy.

Tunic of remembrance (common)

Crafted from the fur countless moon wolves, this tunic provides the wearer with minor resistance to the cold and minor memory enhancement.

Looking at the description, the tunic didn't actually seem that bad. Resistance to the cold, even if only minor, was bound to be useful in some situation, and Kai always thought he had bad memory, so having a tunic which passively helps with that was quite a good boon.

Summoning the tunic from his soul, Kai feels the mana dissapear from somewhere inside him and manifest into a pure white tunic. The garment had a soft texture and kind of felt like Umbra's fur.

I hope Umbra doesn't mind... but why is it white?

As if sensing her master thinking about her, Umbra groggily lifts her furry head of the hardwood floor and sniffs. She then turns her head towards Kai and freezes, only for a moment though. Then, a nearly inaudible whimper escapes from her snout as she trots over to Kai, resting her head on his lap.

Kai smiles softly and pets his familiar head, earning him a soft purr in response.

Huh.... I guess moon wolves turn white when they die... Does that mean Aldred is close to dying?

Pushing away the thoughts for now, Kai slips the tunic on over his gray bodysuit. The fabric of the tunic feels soft when on his body, though its a little loose, it almost looks like a-

"Nice dress." Sofia snorts as she puts on a pair of fingerless gloves, the gloves have a soft blue colour to them and seem to resemble the sea.

"It's not a dress!" Kai retorts, already feeling the blood rising to his face. "It's a tunic, it's in the name, tu-nic."

"Whatever." The pale woman snickers as she goes back to admiring her gloves.

Exasperated, Kai slumps back in his armchair and opens his status to look at his second item, hoping it isn't a pair of high heels to match his new dress.

It was.

... Kind of.

Pretty good boots (uncommon)

Hey, these boots are pretty good, and it's even better they increase the rate at which the wearer recovers from fatigue and also keeps your feet comfortable. If you want to buy the full set, visit ???

The boots were an ad, and a pretty underwhelming one at that, the salesperson must have sucked if they ended up in a who knows how old treasury. And since there is question marks it must mean that whoever runs the tutorial isn't a fan of self promoting.

Summoning the boots, a pair of normal looking brown boots appeared on his lap. They looked the exact same as any you would expect to see on Earth, except for a small insignia on the side which was a symbol he had never seen before. It kind of resembled if the moon was mixed with the sun, it was also a pale orange colour.
