8 Eye of the Storm (2/2)

Special: Unique Skill

Let's hope that this Asterios guy is patient, kind, and forgiving. Oh, and that his party is good at doing their job.

”Of course, sir! I will get ready right away.”

”Good! Here,” He said while placing his hand on my forehead. ”This skill has helped me throughout many adventures, I will teach it to you.”

With information flowing through my mind, I sucked in a cold breath. This skill would be very useful in many ways…

Thanking my mentor, I walked out of the training grounds.

Hyping myself up, I left for the market, once again leaping like a cat over rooftops. Halfway to my destination, a notification suddenly popped up in front of me.

['Mace of the Orc King' has been sold for 2 gold]

['Orc Mage's Robe' has been sold for 3 gold]

Ohhhhh? Not bad, but my earnings were nothing compared to what I got from achievements and hidden quests! Let's go buy some gear!

Hopping down into a secluded alleyway, I walked out into the busy market. Not suspicious at all yes.

I took in a deep breath of air, a bustling street was always fun to traverse through! Excited for new equipment, I held my expectations high and started my shopping spree.

…

…

…

Nothing.

That was what I found.

Absolutely nothing useful for a level six ranger. WHY?!?! I was so excited too!?

A light bulb suddenly went off above my head.

Ah, I completely forgot that the average players were still at level three...dammit! Clinging onto my last hope, I dashed into the auction house and pulled up the sales. My eyes skimmed over the seemingly never-ending list praying for a suitable piece of equipment. About to give up, my eyes caught onto one sale.

I found one. Unique level 6 dagger called Eye of the Storm, selling for ten gold coins.

Sold, my friend!

I put down my bid at ten gold without a shred of hesitation, that knife was calling my name! I could hear it!

”No way! Some maniac is actually wasting ten gold coins on a level 6 knife? If I had that much gold, I could buy myself a plot of land!”

”Shhhh, don't speak so loud Tahoe, you don't want to attract the attention of such a wealthy person.”

Beside me, I heard a swordsman and a female ranger whispering to each other after seeing my high bid.

Hey, you know I'm standing right next to you…

I noted down their names, Tahoe and Heavenly, maybe I'll kill them later if there's a chance?

Pfffft, I'm just joking, I'm not that mean. Plus, it sounds tiring.

I easily won the bid for the knife and opened up my inventory.

Satisfied with my new purchase, I equipped the pitch black knife underneath my cloak. Skimming over the auction once again, I stocked up on arrows and bought a few cheap throwing knives. I also bought another item that caught my attention, but that would have to wait. Thinking back to what the swordsman had said earlier, I headed towards the town center, curious about buying a plot of land with the 98 pieces of gold I still had left.

Leisurely taking my time walking down the busy roads instead of running up top, I enjoyed my surroundings. I've always been a crowd person after all. Memorizing spots that caught my interest or places and players that piqued my curiosity, I stored the information I had collected in the back of my head and arrived at my destination.

The Town Hall.
