As Adrian was still waiting for the egg to hatch, he figured he could already socket the stone to his weapon. He took out the engraving stone and the rune of explosive force. He placed the rune stone and engraving stone near his demi-gauntlets. Suddenly, a notification popped up.
[Do you want to affix the Rune of Explosive Force to the Twilight Demi-Gauntlets? Y/N]
Adrian confirmed and the three materials floated mid-air. The three swirled with a fast tempo then after a few seconds, the demi-gauntlets was the only item seen floating mid-air. Adrian took the demi-gauntlet and inspected it.
Weapon: Twilight Demi-Gauntlet(Growth Type)(Character Bound)
Tier:Uncommon(Upgradeable)
A Soul Glove destined to be worn by the Champion of the Twin Gods. It was forged by the God Arts and Craft, Haephaesto, at the request of the Twin Gods.
Effect: INT +15 (can be upgraded by assimilating better weapons)
Slots: 1.)Rune of Explosive Force
It was a good thing that the engraving stone did not account for the rune's tier or Adrian would not be able to socket the thing to his weapon. He seriously wanted to test the weapon out but it was not a good idea to test its capabilities here at someone else's house. He might just get pummeled by Pann or worse the monster's he was rearing.
Putting that idea aside, Adrian thought to increases the glove's stats or tier to at least rare. First he bought uncommon weapons in the auction mainly gloves. He bought about 10 gloves and two swords that cost about 150 silver. 10 silver for each glove and 25 silver per sword since it is in higher demand. He then tried feeding to his demi-gauntlets and a prompt appeared.
[Do you wish to use these weapons to feed to the Twilight Demi-Gauntlets? If yes these weapons will disappear forever and cannot be salvaged. Y/N]
Adrian said yes then he saw a screen in front of him that showed the animation of the uncommon weapons turning to dust then the dust swirling towards the demi-gauntlets until it was absorbed. He then looked at the new stats of his weapon.

Judging by the given stats, the item gets 1 stat point per item trait. Since the swords he got was of the STR+ category since uncommon weapons only give one type of stat boost. He then purchased other weapons that give stat boosts. He had a look of pain every time he purchased a weapon as if his heart breaks.
He told himself that this was an investment for the future since this was a valuable weapon and other top guild would kill to get a growth type weapon. He continuously fed the demi-gauntlets weapons of uncommon quality until the stats did not rise anymore. He used 10 gold for the total purchases which left him about 498 gold and 39 silver.
Before he inspected the the weapon and a new prompt appeared in front of him.
[Twilight Demi-Gauntlets stat requirement is filled. Please upgrade to a higher rarity in order to continue to make the weapon stats higher.]
[Number of items to increase to Rare Quality: 5 Rare tier weapons]
Adrian frowned when he saw the upgrade requirement. One rare tier weapon cost about 50 silver to 5 gold dependent on the level requirement and stats of the weapon. 100 bronze is equivalent to 1 silver and subsequently 100 silver is equal to 1 gold.
Adrian thought it was a good thing that there were no requirement on what type of weapons he needed therefore he bought the cheapest ones he could find which amounted to 2 gold and 39 silver. His gold now amounted to 496 gold. He reluctantly used the rare tier weapons to upgrade the Twilight Demi-gauntlets. The usual animations was shown and now he inspected the new demi-gauntlets that he has.

The stats stopped increasing after reaching 10. It was a shame that only INT, DEX, STR, and AGI was the only increase since common and uncommon weapons only give those stats. The demi-gauntlets now have sharp claws ends and were now darker in color by a shade.
The spaces at the joints now emit a faint violet glow that further enhances its look, giving it the illusion that the demi-gauntlets are scaly hands. Now, Adrian was really excited on testing the weapon out especially his weapon's new passive.
After all the the enhancement was done, Adrian checked the eggs timer and it was only a minute left until it hatches. He equipped his weapon back again and he was surprised that the sharp claws was gone and it was now clawless and had holes for his fingers to pass through. It seems that the claws would only show up if he was not in a towns vicinity, he could only guess until he could go outside.
After marveling at the improved weapon, he heard a hatching type of sound.
Crrk.....crk...crrrk....CRRKK. Then a tail was seen together with 4 claws. He then saw a head peak out and the creature looked at Adrian in wonder.
Species: Fire Dragon (Hatchling) (Male)
Description: Dragons are said to have been the apex species of the world. They have been created by the Dragon God, Marduk. Every dragon have designated element they are born with but there are some who possess mastery over more than one.
When the dragon moved closer to Adrian and rubbed its head across him, he patted its head and took it into his arms since the cute baby dragon was about one feet in height. The dragon has red scales and little horns, a tail but it did not have wings. Maybe it would get wings in the future when it evolves but who knows. Adrian then used his skill Seal when the dragon was accustomed to it.
The dragon did not resist and instead looked happy.
[Please select a name for the soulbound monster.]
Adrian did not even give it much thought since he has been thinking of a name the minute it was identified as a dragon egg.
"Kanlaon" Adrian said.
