Nicola had been eyeing the ring and these books for some time, so he chose them and decided to increase the mercenary level to two stars.
"To use the ring, just put a drop of blood, the volume that fits inside it is only ten cubic meters. When you connect the ring with your blood only you will be able to remove things from it while you are alive." Rena instructed.
Nicola nodded and dripped a drop of blood over the ring. A connection started to form between him and the object, he knew exactly how to use it as if it were a part of his body, it was like stretching an arm or moving a finger. He then placed the books and his backpack inside the ring while receiving the new guild insignia, unlike the first one, now it has two red stars encrusted in the the bronze plate.
Nicola took advantage of this moment to sell some the nucleus he owned and make a little wealth to pay for his studies. With everything sold, the money he had in his hands was something he could never have thought of a few months ago, the mercenary profession was very well rewarded, he thought. Over a hundred golden coins were stored in the ring. Fortune enough to buy a small house on the outskirts of the city.
