[You acquired 'Golden Opportunity' Passive skill book; would you like to learn it? (YES/NO)]
"Yes."
[You have Learned 'Golden Opportunity Passive skill Lvl.Max (Rank SSS)]
"This skill might not be useful for the tournament but its value in later levels will truly shine. I can't wait to see it in action."
"Now, let's head to the auction house. I need to sell my worthless items as well as buy new one."
Mylo stood up from his chair and headed toward the auction house.
***
"Whoa, it's so packed in here. So many players, it's even busier than outside."
After arriving to the auction house, Mylo headed towards one of the trading stations all around the venue.
[Welcome to the Auction house! Are you here to Sell or Buy?]
"Let's first sell what I don't need."
[Please place the item for sale and add the starting bid.(All sold items in the auction house will have a fee of 5% placed to it.)]
"Hmm, let's see what's inside my inventory."
---------------------------------
10x lesser health potions
5x lesser mana potion
1x Vakmon scale
1x Skill Absorption Talisman
1x Yggdrasil Seed
1x Bog Two Handed Axe
1x Whirlwind Strike Skill Book
-------------------------------
"The MP potion I don't need, but it is worthless in the auction. The Skill Absorption Talisman and Yggdrasil seed are too valuable to sell, even though the talisman can only be sold after it absorbed a skill. All that's left is the Vakmon Scale , the Whirlwind Strike and The Bog Two-Handed Axe."
"Let's first see if any players are selling those items. The chances of there being more than one of those items are slightly high since field bosses can respawn after a while. No need to take a look at the Whirlwind Strike since this was a reward for the first clear."
[Vakmon Scale/30 silver coin]
[Vakmon Scale/29 silver coin]
[Vakmon Scale/28 silver coin]
[Vakmon Scale/28 silver coin]
[Cannot find 'Bog Two-Handed Axe'.]
"Hmm, the scale's price isn't so bad. As for the Axe, it seems like I am the only one who owns it."
"…that looks fine with me."
[You have successfully placed 'Vakmon Scale' starting bid for 25 silver coin. (Duration 4 hours) ]
[You have successfully placed 'Bog Two-Handed Axe' starting bid 5 Gold coin. (Duration 24 hours) ]
[You have successfully placed 'Whirlwind Strike Skill Book' starting bid for 20 Gold Coin. (Duration 24 hours) ]
"I placed the bidding for 24 hours for the axe and the skill book because the tournament is in less than 24 hours. I don't want other players to get the advantage during the event and since both the weapon and the skill are warrior class items. Zaros would most likely monopolize those items. Even though I don't want him to gain those items, I shouldn't let it slow my own progress and income since it's my main source of currency in the real world as well."
"Now… what equipment am I missing."
Mylo current equipment was a one-handed sword, gloves, boots, chest armor, bracelet and one ring slot. Those equipment replaced the novice clothes he was wearing during his first day in game. He still needed to change his novice pants, other than that, he had some free slot in his off-hand, helmet, amulet , both his earing slots as well as his second ring slot. In second chronicle each character was allowed to wear two rings and two earrings and only one slot for the other accessories.
"Time for a shopping spree!"

There was less than 15 hours left for the event to start, many players were waiting in excitement browsing around the trading market to empower themselves before the big tournament. It's at that time that many could be seen running back and forth, talking in a loud voice with surprise and anticipation regarding a different topic.
"What's going on? There seems to be a commotion inside the auction house?"
"…"
"Excuse me, sir."
"Huh?"
"There seems to be a lot of uproar inside the auction house, would be so kind as to inform me of the reason?"
"Oh, you haven't heard? A player placed two items of high value for bidding a few minutes ago. Everyone is going crazy over them."
"High Value? You jest, magic items aren't high value."
"Magic items? Don't kid yourself, there wouldn't be so much noise for a magic item. What's being sold is an epic two-handed axe and an 'A' Rank skill book. Now leave me alone. I need to focus on the bidding before it ends."
"Epic? A rank? Impossible, those items wouldn't be sold randomly so early. Even our guild leader highest ranked item is rare."
"Man, just take a look at it yourself."
"…!"
"H-hey! At least apologize for calling me a liar before you storm off!."
"…"
[Calling Eadward…]
"PICK UP!"
[Edward has answered the call]
[Why did you request a call Eric? You know I don't have the time for-]
[SIR! YOU MUST COME TO THE AUCTION HOUSE!]
[Ah! My ears. Calm down Eric, why are you being so agitated. For what reason would you need me there?]
[I apologize sir, but it's of outmost importance that you head over to the auction house. T-there are two items of high value being sold there.]
[High Value? Can you be more precise Eric, I can't waste my time with item lower than rare rank.]
[Sir! It is a Two-Handed Axe of Epic rarity and an A rank active skill book.]
[…I understand your excitement Eric, but what class requirement is needed for both item?]
[…W-Warrior sir!]
[I am a cleric and I don't have enough resources to equip other core members. The first priority is to equip myself with good gear so I can tank the bosses damage.]
[You don't seem to understand Sir. If their exclusive warrior's item, then it's most likely that Zaros would get it and if he does…]
[…He would most likely increase his guild reputation and overall power, am I correct?]
[Sadly…yes. I am on my way!]
As the news travel further and reaches the ears of important figures inside the game. Our protagonist, still unaware of the uproar he has caused, was still leisurely browsing around for his equipment. Taking his sweat time reading the stats of every item that picked his interest.
[Time remaining for the Event to start; 14:48;34:04!]
