In a world where "Treasure World Online" (TWO) is the most popular game, players can find artifacts, treasures, and rare items that can be sold for real money. The game was created by a mysterious genius developer, and millions of people play it to get rich.

Our protagonist is completely broke. He dreams of playing TWO to escape poverty but can't afford the game. One day, he accidentally wins the lottery—but before he can enjoy his new wealth, he gets scammed, leaving him with only a little money. In frustration, he spends his last savings to buy the game.

But something weird happens. Instead of the normal version, he gets a secret Beta Version of TWO, which has:

Exclusive content that no other player has access to.

Unreleased hidden quests, NPCs, and secret locations.

A mysterious system that gives him strange "luck-based" abilities.

Leo walked through Derek Village, following the directions he had been given. The village outskirts were quieter, with fewer players roaming around. The houses here were older, some looking abandoned.

Finally, he arrived at a small, run-down forge. Unlike the other blacksmith shops in the village, this place had no customers, no glowing furnaces, and no weapons on display.

He knocked again, harder this time. "Hey, old man! You in there?"

For a moment, there was silence. Then, the door creaked open slightly, revealing a grumpy-looking old man with gray hair, a thick beard, and eyes that looked like they had seen way too much nonsense.

"What do you want, kid?" Brake growled.

Leo wasted no time. He pulled out the Rusty Dagger and held it up. "I need this repaired. Every blacksmith in town said you're the only one who might be able to fix it."

Brake's gaze landed on the dagger, and for the first time, his expression changed. His eyes widened, and he slowly reached out, taking the weapon from Leo's hands.

"This..." Brake muttered, turning the dagger over in his rough hands. "Where did you get this?"

Brake examined the weapon in silence. After a long pause, he let out a deep sigh.

"Obviously," Leo said. "Why else would I come all the way here?"

Brake let out a dry chuckle. "Fine. But I don't work for free, kid. If you want me to repair this dagger... you need to bring me the right materials."

Leo groaned. "Ah, come on! A fetch quest?"

Brake smirked. "You want the best, you gotta work for it, kid."

Leo opened his quest window and checked the required materials:

Leo blinked. Wait. What was that last one?

"...This is gonna be annoying, isn't it?"

Ralf, his little companion, popped up a text emote:

[Ralf: (⌐■_■) Let's get that loot!]

Leo sighed. "Yeah, yeah. Alright, let's get to work."

And with that, he set off on another adventure—this time, to collect the rare materials needed to repair the mysterious dagger.
