Becoming Legend Chapter 224: Name It

After letting all the information sunk in, Ned decided to give himself ti to reconsider things.

Being a Hunter gives him benefits and drawbacks. One, being a Hunter ans he might gain access to places that a normal person cannot. Then there's the reward for completing quests, raids, and bounties.

The drawback? He needed to be high ranked to do all these. Least, he needed to be at least Silver ranked to gain the benefits of being a hunter. If not, then, his only a hunter with a title.

Ned grinned as he was thinking things. "I don't even know where to start," he said. And rembered Roy's words after the thought. "Don't worry," Roy had said, handing back the Token to Ned. "I will make sure you are prepared."

But what does he want? Was he doing all these simply because he was indebted to Edwin?

After the two talks, Ned was given his roommore like a chamber closely related to beast. As the room was stacked with cobwebs, with only a single bed placed in the middle.

Although underground, Ned assud that the Queen's throne room and the rest of his loyal companion's chamber were placed over the top of other chambers.

The Hive was so massive and complex that Ned would take him weeks, perhaps months to finish checking each pocket hole that acted like chambers.

Ned took a ntal note to the chambers he had visited. One, the Queen's throne room, a massive room built with stones, and crystals. And in the middle of the room was an elevated platform where the Queen was first seen by Ned upon entering. Everything was intricate in terms of design, totally not of human nature.

The next room was the Gate's chamber. Aside from the Gate, there was nothing in particular in the room that made him wary of.

Ned couldn't find an exit at his current spot unless he got a map, which he doesn't. And the beasts living inside the Hive were accustod to their lives and familiarity with the place, that they do not need a map.

So even could see in the darkness especially the gnolls. Gnolls tend to be the workers of the Hive and was accompanied by spiders and spiderlings as their mounts and carriers.

To thank Ned for his agreent. Kon Sas Koron sent him a set of clothes made of fabric Ned yet to know. The fabric was thin and silky, it glittered with light as the mana stones radiated it with blue.

"Hmm." Ned made a lodramatic hum as he rubs the silk. The silk was soothing. "It's a spiderweb."

"Inspect," Ned muttered his skill. Then a pop up of details ca into view on his display. He waved a hand, vanishing the display as he chose to listen to his system.

The silky cloth was made of organic material with a great amount of magic imbued with it. The garnt was transparent to look, and Ned hesitated if he wanted to wear it.

It was made in one pair, it opens from behind like a cocoon ready for its final stage of tamorphosis. Without any other choice. Ned forcibly put on the silky garnt. He was like a snake shedding skin but in reverse. Surprisingly, the silky clothing was very smooth to touch. And Ned felt like he was wearing nothing but his skin.

As the garnt was fitted to his body, a notification chid within his mind.

[Notice: Bio-organic material wanted to integrate with the host.]

Host? Ned thought, and a smile plastered his face. It's been so long since you called host.

Unresponsive, the system repeated the notice and Ned accepted it.

The silky garnt then moved on its own. It crawled Ned's body, touching the very skin of him. The garnt then stuck to his body like a part of his skin. Ned looked naked only with a cover in his private regions.

With his daily routines, Ned's muscles have gotten bigger to the point that it was visible to his eyes. His abdon was lined with four curvy abs. His biceps have gotten bigger as well. Overall, his body was more chiseled than a normal 14-year-old urchin struggling for food.

"Now," he said. "What could you be."

And like magic items Ned was accustod to, he decided to focus his mana over his new clothing. As soon as he does, the silky garnt sparkled as though white sands on a beach. Then, it dimd and does nothing. No changes occurred over the silk.

Ned frowned. "Does the Queen want to roam the place on this?" He said, muttering. "I looked like an athlete in Spandex."

As soon as Ned finished with his words, the clothing changes to a Spandex of jet black in color as if he was ready for an Olympic swim.

Ned was stunned by the magic item he now posses. So this ans? He thought. And another thought changed the Spandex to an undergarnt of white and topped with a vest like that of a cowboy. At the sa ti, the silk below changed to pants in black with pockets behind and in front. Unfortunately, Ned's feet were bare naked. Another thought disappointed Ned. The magic item was limited only to his body. He thought he could make the silk comfortable by covering his head like a helt or a hat. Obviously, he couldn't.

Ned's mind was transitioned of different clothing. First, he thought of changing it to his forr uniform. Also in black, the suit was fitted perfectly to Ned.

He touched the paddings over his shoulder, it clinked tallic. He then pinched the suit under his tallic armor and it squeaks exactly like the one he had before, thick and leathery.

If this is the case, then, could it be? Ned thought. He felt excited but soon retracted the feeling.

The magic item could mimick the designs of clothing as long as Ned thought of it. But, could it also mimick the materials?

Ned decided to test it.

But, for now, he needed to do sothing about the sound that has been bothering him for a while.

Grumble-grumble echoed his stomach.

Ned thought of the clothes his master has given him after the Selection. Then, the magic item transford into Hunter's clothing. A black shirt, over a vest of dimming grey. His pants do the sa, black and fitted. As always, he wanted to look simple and enough for him to move comfortably. In fact, he felt way comfortable with his new set of clothing. Not to ntion the weight, like a feather. Ned wanted to test the flexibility, and sturdiness of the magic item.

So, with the thought of leaving the room, he needed to et the Queen before he set to give Roy his final decision.

But before he could leave the chamber, Ned was cut off by another prompt in his mind.

[Would you like to na the item?]

Ned pondered for a mont and decided that the magic item must be nad to not appear too flashy.

"Na it," Ned said. "Silk Road."
