The two guys walked slowly towards Henry and tried to get on each side of him but since the alley was very narrow they couldn't do so and arrived in front of him after a few steps, he would have liked it more if they all came at him at the same time so he could really show the effects of the dagger on the video but he couldn't force them all to come for him if they refused to do so, so he focused on the two guys that were waiting for an opening in his defense.
The guy on his right threw a high kick towards Henry's head and the guy on his left followed straight away with a hook towards his stomach. Henry pushed the guy punching him with a shoulder, squatted to avoid the kick and lightly brushed his leg with the dull part of the blade. As expected the guy fell on his knees straight away, his body had became a so much heavier that he wasn't able to stand.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!"
His mouth obviously wasn't affected as he yelled so strong that Henry's ears rang !
While the robber's friend was looking at him incredulously Henry sneakily approached him and once again brushed his body with the blade, same result both guys were on their knees. When the second guy fell the effects on the first one faded and he stood back up again.
He looked at his friends who hadn't joined the fight and yelled :
"He doesn't plan to kill us you guys ! His item is insane he just made my body a few times heavier by grazing it ! Come on if we get it we can share the money !"
His two friends looked hesitant but still shook their head in the end, glass guys said :
"Think about it, if he own such an item he must have a powerful background. We might get in danger later if we can get the item now, you guys should stop too."
Saying that he turned around and left with his last friend, he valued his life more than money.
Henry looked at them leaving but didn't care, two were enough, for the next 20 minutes he kept using the dagger's effect again and again until the robbers couldn't stand up anymore. He then picked his camera and left, found a quiet place to change and left for home in his school's uniform.
That night while sitting on his desk he watched the video and decided to put the whole shot on the ad without cutting any part.
The website he used was the biggest trading site in the universe, be it new goods, used stuff or even services, everything you could look for was on this website called : the Market. The good thing with it was that the owners understood that some people wanted to keep their privacy and didn't ask for a name, a photo or anything to register and sell. All you needed was a nickname !
[Dark Bone Dagger
This dagger have the ability to make heavier the body of whoever touch the blade by 5 times. The duration of the effect is 2 seconds and can be stacked, the owner isn't an exception : be careful to hold the dagger by the handle and avoid contact with the blade.
Used only during the demonstration video so the item is as good as new !
Price : 19000$]
The reason he chose such a high price was because it was common to bargain on this website so if he got bargained from such a high price he would still get his original prediction however if he put 14000$ like he believed the dagger costed and got bargained he would lose money.
He looked at the original description of the item on the system's shop and decided to copy it however he didn't put the additional stats, everybody knew that such items have additional stats but only Henry has a status page to check it ! He also didn't put the origin of the dagger which was the Ink Turtle, it was nearly impossible to make a copy without a blueprint but he preferred not giving any hint uselessly.
Then he uploaded the video of the robbers following him, talking for a second and deciding to fight him. He had used the whole raw footage to increase potential buyer's trust in him, he felt like he would be easier to trust this way.
When the ad was published he went on his bed and lied down, his eyelids were heavy and he started slipping in a light sleep when he heard a notification sound coming from his computer, he looked over and was surprised to see it was from the Market.
In a hurry he sat down in front of the computer, was he going to sell the item this fast ?
[New message from user : Benefactorofthewild99.
Press to read it.]
Of course he pressed it, he was curious if it was going to be sold this easily.
[Benefactorofthewild99:
Hi there, I've seen the video but who says that these guys aren't paid actors ?]
[Blacksmith_pierrot:
It's either you believe or not.]
Blacksmith_pierrot was the ID Henry has chosen, Pierrot because the mask he wore in the video was similar to a pierrot's mask. Actually it wasn't like he didn't expect these kind of messages and he understood what was their objectives. These guys were hunters, they spent all of their time on this website looking for easy targets who they can rip off. Now his objective was probably to get the dagger for half the price listed on the ad.
After seeing the ad most people who had experience in fighting could tell that this dagger was the real deal and he was one who could tell too.
[Benefactorofthewild99:
How about this, I send you half the money and you send me the dagger. After trying it I'll send you the rest !]
'Obviously.'
Henry rolled his eyes, he didn't see anymore use in answering this guy. He turned off the notifications sound of his computer and went to sleep, he had class early tomorrow morning and he didn't like staying up late. After playing with the robbers, getting home, changing, showering, eating and putting the ad on the Market it was already 1 in the morning and he was exhausted !
He closed his eyes and fell into deep sleep, that night he dreamed that he was wearing a shiny armor with a short golden spear in each hand and was fighting a weird humanoid thing. It's skin was dark blue, it was dressed in whole black and fought with its long tail that was like a whip. Although he gave it his all he couldn't escape the tail thrust that pierced his heart through the armor and he woke up when he died in his dream.
'Damned nightmare ! I haven't had one for so long why are they back now ?!'
He looked at the time and his fool mood intensified, he lied back down and decided to ditch school today. He had woken up at 11 am, school had started 3 hours ago so there was no point in going now. He turned his head towards his computer and decided to check if he had any new messages on the Market.
