5️⃣Discovery of the KCU Collections

As the experiment to refine the Ore began, the Factory pulsed with energy. The Rider Leader, the Harmon Chief, and the Human Leader worked tirelessly, as their faces glowed with determination.

“Easy now,”

the Rider Leader instructed, carefully putting an Ore fragment into the Refinery. The machine whirred to life, lights dancing as it began the transformation.

Suddenly, the Human Leader’s eyes lit up.

“Hold up,”

he said, moving closer to the machine. “This reminds me of something from Earth.”

The others turned to him, curious. “What do you mean?” the Harmon Chief asked.

The Human Leader took a deep breath. “Back on Earth, I was a scientist. I made many things, but one invention led to a war that destroyed our planet. My family… they didn’t survive. Since then, I’ve promised never to use science to push nature’s limits again. But seeing this… I think I know how to help.”

The Rider Leader and Harmon Chief exchanged looks, understanding the weight of his words. “We need your skills,” the Rider Leader urged. “Will you break your vow to help us?”

The Human Leader hesitated, the memories of his past haunting him. But he knew this was a chance to make things right. “Yes,” he said finally. “I’ll help.”

He examined the Refinery closely. “The key is to stabilize the energy,” he explained. “We need to control the Kroma Energy flow to make sure the process works.”

As they adjusted the machine, the Refinery’s hum grew steadier. The Ore fragments began to glow brighter, changing from green to a brilliant, shimmering light purple alloy.

“It’s working!”

the Harmon Chief exclaimed, watching in awe.

When the process finished, they carefully took out a newly formed Mystic Alloy. It pulsed with vibrant energy, a refined and shiny mineral with a light purple glow, full of excitement and possibilities.

“We did it,” the Rider Leader said, his voice filled with excitement.

“We’ve created Mystic Alloy!”

The Harmon Chief examined the glowing mineral, amazed. “This is why the De-troms are so eager to collect more Ores. They want to gather as much as possible to craft Mystic Alloy and become more powerful.”

“I don’t quite follow. But how does crafting lead to power?” the Human Leader asked.

“This universe is based on fair contribution. Ore is the most basic and important resource and can only be obtained through contribution. If you gather more Ores, you can craft high-tier items like Mystic Alloy. The higher-tier items ensure you get more rewards later. The more you contribute, the more you can craft. And the higher the tier of items, the greater the rewards.”

“I see. So according to the recipe you showed us, now what we have to do is combine two Mystic Alloys for a Mystic Box, right?”

“Yes, let’s keep working!”

The three of them started combining the Mystic Alloy in the Fusion Chamber again. Finally, they got a Mystic Box, glowing even more intensely. These boxes hold the key to unlocking advanced items.

The Harmon Chief gasped. “It’s a rare item mentioned in our legends. It’s said to contain powerful secrets. We need to open it to see what’s inside.”

The Human Leader nodded. “But we need to open them carefully.”

As they prepared to unlock the mysteries of the Mystic Box, the air seemed to hold its breath. Slowly, they opened it, revealing a dazzling Magical Gaming Headset — a 6 Pro Gamer's Item!

However, the appearance of the headset puzzled the group.

“A gaming headset?”

the Rider Leader questioned. “What use does it have in our world?”

Before anyone could answer, a glowing light appeared, revealing V.I., who had escaped from the De-trom Leader’s clutches.

“You got it! Paha!”

V.I. exclaimed, eyes gleaming with excitement. “That’s no ordinary headset — it’s a Pro Gamer’s item of extraordinary craftsmanship!” V.I. had no specific forms, enabling them to move freely in different spaces.

V.I. went on to explain, “KCU is full of surprises! The technology from KCU often mixes with elements from other worlds. These Mystic Boxes can hold items from different quests. This headset probably comes from a world where gaming is a big deal. It’s like our world and that gaming world collided, and this headset is the result. It’s pretty rare, paha!!”

There were four levels of the Pro Gamer’s items: Common, Uncommon, Rare, and Unique.

The value increases with the level. Equipped on a Kroman, these items boost scores according to their level. Higher scores lead to more rewards in the future.

“But we still don’t know how to use them…”

“Hm, I wish I had time to explain more, but I must go now,” V.I. said, his voice heavy with regret. “I must return to the De-trom Leader before he comes for my family.”

Understanding the urgency of V.I.’s situation, the group exchanged nods.

“I’m not sure, but I believe the De-troms know how to use the Pro Gamer’s items. I know he built something related to them. I’ll try to make him spill the beans. If you don’t see us at the Gate, I’ll leave some clues there. Then you can come and find us.” said V.I.

As V.I. vanished into the shadows, a sense of determination filled the air. Their journey had only just begun, and the challenges ahead would test their resolve like never before.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the De-trom Leader was sleeping soundly, unaware of V.I.’s temporary escape.

Would the Rider, Harmon, and Human Leaders succeed in unlocking the secrets of the Pro Gamer’s item? And what dark plans did the De-trom Leader have in mind?
