Booooooom...
"Fight with us if you dare."
Boom...
"Nope." Aiming the launcher ahead of him, Eden took another shot.
Boom...
"Damnit... Get back everyone. Get Back."
Boom... Boom...
It's been two days since he began his journey. To add a supply for the remaining journey ahead, this morning he bought some stuff in the nearest town. Apparently, some informants were still able to gather information on him.
Not the whole, he is rich or he is a mage and such stuff. These informants found he had some gold coins on him. Well, He did pay for the supply in gold coins for the best stuff he could buy.
He had money so why not.
In this world, the most used currency in use was coins. There were gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins. One silver coin equal to one thousand copper coins. And one gold coin equals one hundred silver coins.
As for the stuff which cost more than a thousand gold coins, they were sold using a magic crystal. One magic crystal could be further broken into one thousand magic lead.
Clearly, the desire for gold coins in a place far from the capital was understandable. But did Eden care about their desire? Absolutely Not.
Hence, this situation occurred while he was more than halfway through the journey to Lightning City.
He got surrounded by bandits. And now they are his target for practicing weapon mastery.
"Do you have no honor? How can anyone be so shameless?" Roared the leader of the bandits.
"I don't wanna hear those words from a bandit of all the people." Aiming the launcher at the leader Eden replied."Better start running cause you're next."
Boom...
And just like that, all free ammo got used up. But Eden was glad to learn, he has been earning SP even now.
"I don't think I will ever understand, how I can earn SP." Eden shook his head. "Then again I don't think I need to do anything to earn SP."
After getting competition notification by auto-loot. Eden continued his journey towards Lightning City. The next morning, he finally reached the city gates.
The moment he entered the gate, he was shocked.
This city was huge. And when he said huge he really meant huge. It looked like a place that was cross over between the medieval period and the magical era. On the side of the city was a train station that ran a steam train powered by magic. In the opposite direction was a huge ship port. And the crowd, it was unbelievably heavy.
"Good lord, if a city's like this what will the capital be like?" Eden stood on top of the city tower and looked below gobsmacked. Though, it seems like he wasn't the only one.
Other people on the tower were looking below at the city, just like him with their mouths open. This was the second last stop before he reached the capital. Just thinking about the difference between Twinkle town and Lightning City made him surprised.
Looking around the city he began questioning himself. What was gonna happen when he reached the capital? He realized there a big difference among the people like him and the people walking below. He had seen the sword carried around by the city guard. He had seen the armor worn by the guards. He had seen the weapon carried by the mercenary.
"It's no wonder they don't care about some gold coins. The stuff they carry around probably costs more than what I get after selling all my stuff and what I get after collecting my rewards." Eden murmured with himself.
Ding...
Eden jumped from the spot he was standing. His action caused everyone around him to look at him strangely.
"What, What... What's was that?"
Eden looked around trying to find the source with no avail. What he did see was everyone looking at him strangely.
"Did he lose his screw or something?"
"I think he did."
"Does looking below at the city from the top makes people mad?"
"That's scary."
"I think we should leave."
Hearing the conversation around about himself, Eden's face started twitching. That's a false accusation he concluded, but looking at their reaction it didn't look like they were faking it.
"Did I only hear it?" A question arose in his head. "If only he could hear it, does that mean..."
Turning around he acted like he was back to enjoying the site. Getting the cue everyone started continuing their earlier action.
Finally, he looked at the system interface, that greeted him with a new notification.
[New mission.]

"Sure enough it was the system that made the sound," Eden concluded.
"A new mission? Only now?"
It's already been some days since he arrived in this world and only now he received a mission. "Talk about punctuality."
Well, whatever as long as he made a weapon he was free to move around. As long as he was able to find one idiot to sell his equipment. He was going to complete his mission.
Climbing down the tower, he mounted on the horse and galloped towards the mercenary guild to claim his reward. At the same time, he opened the system's workshop and looked at the blueprint provided by the system.
"A Warhammer?"
