Chapter 136: The mysterious black mask
Items in the Diablo World would fall into eight levels.
The first level was ăInferior Itemă. The color was dark, and they would be divided into four more categories: inferior, chipped, damaged, and rough. These items were barely usable; a lot of novice warriors didnât even use them. Even an ordinary demon or monster could drop these items when they were killed.
The second level was ăOrdinary Itemă. The color of these items was white. Some of them had natural holes where gems and runes could be embedded. However, these holes would be drilled on after making the items. These items were very common, and they were the foundation of the game. They were easy to get, as one could get nine ordinary items from killing ten monsters. The attributes of these items were very average.
The third level was ăSuperior Itemă. The appearance of these items was also white; only weapons and armors in the Diablo World could be at this level. These items had some extra attack damage, durability, and defense stats, but the extra effects werenât that strong. They were only a bit better than ăOrdinary Itemă.
The fourth level was ăMagic Itemă. The appearance of these items was blue; they had stronger attributes and effects. They were better at attack, defense and additional effects compared with the other three item types. Most ăMagic Itemsă also had one or two prefixes or suffixes; they determined the quality of the additional attributes. There were super powerful ăMagic Itemsă and weak ăMagic Itemsă, but they were all very strong. Feiâs current Barbarianâs armor and belt were both ăMagic Itemsă.
The fifth level was ăCrafted Itemă. These items were orange and could only be crafted by combining various ingredients through recipes. Fei didnât own anything like this currently.
The sixth level was ăRare Itemă. These items were yellow and were even more powerful and had more attributes than the other four types of items. The name of these items typically contained two to six prefixes or suffixes. Fei had a few of these items. For example, the bow that Fei gifted to Elena was a ăRare Itemă. These items were the more premium mainstream items.
The seventh level was ăSet Itemă. The appearance of these items was green. According to legends, these green items belonged to great legendary warriors. When all of the ăSet Itemsă from the set were collected and equipped, extra powerful magic power would be generated on top of the powerful attributes of each individual item. ăSet Itemsă were hard to find. There were usually a few pieces in a set; it would take a lot of time to collect all of them, even if one was lucky. Fei did get ăArctic Fură, the armor in the ăArctic Geară set in the Barbarian Mode. However, he still hadnât found the other three missing items to complete the ăArctic Geară set.
The eighth level was ăUnique Itemă. These items were golden and were almost holy. They were the rarest of all items, and they each had a unique special ability. They had their own shapes, attributes, names, and they could even changes color. There were three small levels within ăUnique Itemsă, and they were normal, exceptional, and elite.
After understanding the level system within this Diablo World, it was easy to see why Fei was so excited.
What was in front of him was a complete set of the level seven green ăSet Itemsă. They all appeared in front of Fei; this was unheard of when he played the game in his previous life â of course, the scene with the female demon Andariel also never occurred in the actual game on Earth.
Fei lightly reached out and touched the green ăSet Itemsă in front of his eyes.
The cold sensation coming from his fingers told him that this was real; he was not hallucinating or dreaming.
This was a four-piece set. There was a simple pointy light blue mage hat made of bones, a delicate light blue metal armor that protected his shoulders to his knees, and a light blue wand that was about 6 feet tall. It had a spherical magic crystal at the top and three mysterious strands of clothes covered the wand. The last piece was some kind of talisman that was red, about the size of the palm, and had a five-star magic array engraved on it.
The four items were tightly put together and took the shape of a standing person. It was lively and a crystal light of life floated on the surface of the items. Waves of powerful magic fluctuations came off the set of items in an unstoppable manner.
The set was currently in an unidentified state.
However, Fei was very intrigued by this. He could no longer wait to take them back to the encampment and let Cain identify them for him for free. He used four ăIdentify Scrollsă and unveiled the properties of this set â
The wandâs name was ăArcannaâs Deathwandă.
It was a two-handed item.

Special properties: +1 level to all sorcerer skills; +25% chance of deadly strike; +50% damage to undead creatures; +5% mana regeneration; +50 mana.

These were the individual properties and attributes of each item.
ăArcannaâs Tricksă!!
Fei instantly knew the name of this set.
From Feiâs previous memories, there was such a ăSet Itemă for sorcerers. Although it wasnât as great as the top-tier Sorceress ăSet Itemă- ăTal Rashaâs Wrappingsă, it was the perfect set for Sorcerers who were at a low level. The required level to equipment this set was only level 15. Currently, Fei was level 19, so he could equip it.
Without any hesitation, Fei stripped himself and put on ăArcannaâs Tricksă.
A light blue light instantly enveloped Fei. An unprecedented feeling of power filled every single cell in his body. Fei felt that his attack and defense had doubled or tripled instantly. With this complete set, he was the equivalent of a level 25 sorceress even though he was only level 19.
After he equipped everything, the bonus effect kicked in â
20% faster cast rate; 5% mana stolen per hit; +50 health; +50 mana.
Fei closed his eyes and carefully felt the pleasure of the increase in strength.
Then, he noticed a simple, black iron mask floating in mid-air.
The appearance of this mask was far worse than the set item â ăArcannaâs Tricksă. If Fei didnât pay attention, he would had thought that it was a piece of old bark with two holes cut in it. The mask was lifeless, but it floated in mid-air as if there was no gravity. A strange power vaguely floated on the surface of the mask, and it had an ancient, mysterious, and tragic sensation.
âCould this be⊠the legendary ăAndarielâs Visageă?â
Fei was stunned. ăAndarielâs Visageă was the mask that Andariel begged a blacksmith to forge for her after her beauty was destroyed. It was a nice item, but it was rare to get from the Monastery map. It shouldnât have appeared here.
Fei took the mask, and it was so light that Fei felt like he was holding onto air.
Before the identification, Fei wouldnât know the name or the property of the mask. He took out a ăIdentify Scrollă and a golden light flashed by.
Fei was shocked.
He realized that the mask in his hand wasnât affected at all; he still could get its property.
âThis⊠What is going on? Could it be a very normal mask thatâs not even considered an item? And thatâs why there are no properties to display?â Fei guessed. âBut that shouldnât be it. If itâs just a regular mask, how could it float in the air?â
This was very strange.
This situation was also unheard of in the original game that Fei played before.
Fei remember what Andariel said to him in her recovered, soul state â
âAccept my gift, and protect your lover. Every ăFlower of Rogueă will experience unprecedented sufferings. Young warrior, a great disaster is coming. If you still believe in love, please protect her, and donât let her go through that I had!â
The sixth-sense that came from his soul vaguely told him that this mysterious black mask was somehow related to the âprophecyâ that Andariel left him, but he couldnât wrap his head around this vague connection.
Fei thought about it and tried to put this mysterious mask onto his face.
His face felt a warm sensation, as if his lover was lightly touching him.
The mask wasnât big. It perfectly covered the rest of the face below the hat that was made out of bones. He was still able to see through the two holes on the mask, and the nose was raised, so his nose fit perfectly into the mask. He was able to breath comfortably. However, Fei had a strange feeling; he felt like this mask had its own life. It slowly squirmed on his face and adjusted itself to his face. The end result was that it fit Feiâs face so perfectly that it seemed like it was built for Fei.
Then, another strange feeling kicked in.
Fei felt like all five of his senses were merged. He could see what he couldnât see before, he could hear what he couldnât hear before, and he could smell what he couldnât smell beforeâŠ
He raised his hand and took off the mask, and this feeling went away.
After a few trials, he was sure.
It seemed like magnifying senses was the only ability of this mask.
âSomething that ăIdentify Scrollă couldnât identify, this is very mysterious⊠I know for a fact that even level 8 ăUnique Itemsă can be identified by the ăIdentify Scrollă. Wait⊠Could this black mask be something above level 8ăUnique Itemsă? It canât be! Iâve never heard about a level 9 item in the Diablo World!
Fei shook his head; he couldnât tell what was going on, but he knew that this mask was mysterious and strange. He put the mask into his storage belt.
Then, the scene in front of him changed, as if it disappeared into space.
Like traveling through time, Fei instantly returned to the catacombs where he killed the demon Andariel. There were the same burning fires and flowing blood; all the monsters were dead, and Feiâs Sorcerer character competed all the quests from ăRogue Encampmentă
All seven of his characters passed Act I in Diablo World.
Fei returned to the 3D screen where he could choose different classes.
Something occurred; although it surprised Fei, it made him very happy.
