Chereads / The praetor system / Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

A week has passed since I visited Felix and it's been a surprisingly nice seven days. I have created a surplus of coins and raised my transform skill to the next level. I've also spent time getting to know Rebecca and she has agreed to join me on my travels if and when I decide to leave Ravensville.

With my coins safely stored in the pocket of my jeans I head to Felix's to pick up my suits and my helmet. As soon as I walk in I see a small suitcase with a beautiful black and silver helmet sitting on top. The face of the helmet is super smooth except for where the jaw opens and closes. it features two round patches of polymer fiber, one on each cheek, where air can easily pass through the helmet even when my mouth is closed.

"So good sir what do you think?"

"It looks amazing Felix." Lifting the helmet over my head I slowly slide it down over my face and click the polymer chin strap into place. Thanks to my All seeing eye, having the mask on doesn't mess with my sight in the slightest. "It's comfortable and moves perfectly with my jaw, Thank you Felix."

Nodding he hands me the suitcase with two of my suits and points to the third one that is draped over the stand. "Figured you might wanna swap into one right away, there's a dressing room over here you can use."

Nodding I hand Felix a gold coin and step into the dressing room with my polymer body suit as I strip out of my regular clothes and unzip the suit. Sliding my legs in I pull the suit up to my waist and slide my arms In before zipping it up under my chin and chuckling." glad to see it zips in the front."

Walking out of the dressing room after storing my clothes in the suitcase I bid farewell to Felix and head down the street to a store more suited for magical purposes. As soon as I step into the robe and armor emporium I raise my eyebrow at all the energy flowing around in here. "Magic resistance" my hand glows as yet another small rune enters my body and I immediately feel like a small weight has been lifted.

As I enter farther into the store passing rows of different wands, staffs and orbs I come around a corner and find a woman sitting with a stack of wizards robes and many different threads of yarn behind her.

"What can I do for you Sir?" she asks looking straight at me, the helmet obviously doing its job nicely.

"I need to know where I can buy a set of black robes and a spacial ring madame"

She nods and grabs a few black robes off of a shelf and lays them on the counter before looking at me seriously. "Spacial rings aren't cheap and they come in a variety of configurations, what exactly are you looking for?"

After a few moments of thought I describe the perfect ring to fit my current attire and needs. "I need an onyx gem ring with a warehouse sized vacuum space so that nothing I place in my ring ages or spoils."

With a slight whistle she goes into the back room and comes out holding a small black box. "This ring costs 2 platinum coins and fits all your needs. it also has a soul lock so only you and the people that are insanely close to you can access what ever you store in here."

Handing her the two platinum coins I put the ring on my hand and allow the soul lock to take place before storing the rest of my coins and my suitcase inside the space. "Thank you ma'am now about the robes?"

"Consider them a gift in hopes of seeing you here again" with that she walks away as I place all but one robe in my ring and put on the robe. at least now I don't look like a walking battle bot.

Leaving the emporium I head back to the smiling bear for a dinner of Steak mashed potatoes and gravy and a piece of homemade cherry pie.

After dinner I talk to Rebecca for a few minutes and excuse myself. Heading up to my room I collapse on the bed and begin planning what runes I'll be absorbing next. My hand begins to glow softly "Flight" "Polearm mastery" "rune melding" Three very beautiful gold runes absorb into my body as I feel a slight burning in my brain as years of Polearm techniques enter my brain all at once.
