My 100th Rebirth a day before the Apocalypse novel Chapter 694

Sparrow, who had just received a piece of equipment he treated like a treasure, soon found his excitement overshadowed by Vulture's full set of gear. Running his fingers over his cloak, he glanced at Vulture, who was eagerly equipping one powerful-looking piece after another.

The contrast, along with Kisha's earlier words, made a bitter feeling creep into Sparrow's chest—his once-prized cloak suddenly seemed lackluster in comparison.

Kisha, watching the two act like children receiving gifts from Santa—one thrilled with his new equipment and the other happy but unable to help comparing his to his younger brother's—chuckled to herself.

Wanting to avoid any lingering disappointment, she quickly picked up the pace, handing out one rare item to each person until she had distributed all the ones she had pulled from her inventory.

Only the legendary and mythic items from the Gachapon draws remained—ones she and Duke had ignored before.

She walked over to Sparrow and handed him an additional legendary ring. "Here, you can have this. It's our little secret," she whispered with a playful smile. "This ring is actually better than Vulture's entire set. His gear is rare quality and only shines when worn as a full set, but this… just one of these is worth more than ten of those."

She couldn't help but exaggerate a little—after all, Sparrow looked so envious and pitiful watching Vulture excitedly flaunt his new gear. A bit of sweet talk wouldn't hurt, and if it made him feel better, then why not?

The moment Sparrow heard Kisha's words, his ears perked up, and his eyes sparkled as he stared at the ring. However, hesitation quickly set in.

"Y-Young Madam, I… I can't accept this," he stammered, swallowing nervously. "Maybe you should give it to Master instead. I don't want him misunderstanding your intentions."

"I won't misunderstand," Duke said casually as he suddenly appeared behind Kisha. Kisha was startled because he didn't even make a sound. "Even Vulture has a ring as part of his set equipment. Besides, my space ring is far superior, and this is my wife's hard-earned gift—one she bought just for me. Yours can be treated as a freebie."

Duke couldn't help but gloat a little, completely forgetting that Kisha was trying to lift Sparrow's spirits. After all, Sparrow had not only survived a near-death experience but had also returned with the rest of the missing team and even brought in new workers.

This ring was meant as a reward for his efforts and a gesture to reassure him that his contributions were valued—not to make it seem like favoritism.

But with Duke's careless remark, calling it a "freebie," it suddenly felt like Sparrow was nothing more than an afterthought.

Though, in reality, that was exactly what it was, Kisha had at least tried to make it sound meaningful—only for Duke to ruin the moment.

Kisha elbowed Duke in the stomach without holding back. Just as he was about to pout and look wronged, she shot him a sharp glare that clearly said, "Say one more word, I dare you."

Duke swallowed hard, wisely choosing to keep his mouth shut as he awkwardly scratched the back of his head.

Turning back to Sparrow, Kisha offered him a reassuring smile. "Don't listen to your jealous master. This is a legendary item with incredible stats. It's called Fairy Wing."
