Ian walked into the Adventurers Guild with everyone eyes on him. It was weird seeing Ian's clothing all in tatters from a fight but could not see any big external injuries.
But what really pulled their attention was the thing Ian had in his hand. A mid-intermediate monster core, you could tell it was high quality as the core was much clearer than basic tier monster cores.
Everyone was stunned and based on Ian's clothing it looked like he fought one and got it.
Ian walked straight to the receptionist and dropped a bundle of herbs on the desk.
"I finished the quest Anisa, also here's this"
Ian plops down the monster core down on the desk.
"How much would this go for?"
Anisa is obviously stunned from this as she was staring blankly at the monster core.
'didn't Ian only register this morning? How in the world did he defeat a monster that is at a level of a D rank adventurer!' Anisa thought as she grabbed the bundle of herbs
"G-Good job, the herb quest will give you 50 copper. The monster core would probably sell for 5 silver." Anisa replied
Ian remembers the currency in the game and knows how it works.
100 Copper-1 Silver coin
100 Silver- 1 gold coin
100 gold coin- 1 platinum coin
Ian is happy with this amount of money earned from the quest and decides to use the money to buy new equipment.
As soon as Ian leaves the Guild everyone started making a ruckus. Murmuring and yelling can be heard everywhere inside the Guild.
"Dude, that kids insane! he hunted a mid-tier intermediate monster by himself!"
"Man even my party has a hard time killing one, and we are a group of rank D's"
"I have to invite that kid to my party!"
The ruckus eventually died down as Ian strolled down the stony street.
Now with the money Ian decides to go to the equipment store.
The store was an old stone building with a sign. The sign had a drawing of a Sword and Shield.
Ian walked in and was greeted by a guy behind the counter. It was a tough looking old man with white hair and a white beard.
The old man was menacing looking, standing at least 6 foot 4 and having big burly muscles, and a scar across his face.
"Hello customer, what did you come here to buy?" the man said in a deep voice.
"I'm looking for a piece of armor, I have 3 silver coins on me right now" Ian replied
Ian knew he had to save some money so he saved the 2 silver coins and 50 copper just in case.
"hmm, that's enough for some low-intermediate armor, must be a rich kid eh?" The man said jokingly
Ian did a awkward laugh as the man pointed at a wall towards the Armour
Ian walked up to the wall and saw amazing, shiny Armour. All the pieces had its own charm to it and he did not know which one to pick.
That was until Ian realized that none of these pieces were in the game he was in. Which was weird because everything he has encountered has been in the game except the items.
Ian accidentally grazed his hand over an Armor piece and got a system notification.
[Do you wish to learn the inspect skill]
[yes/no] [requires 10 mana to be learned]
Ian was shocked when he saw this but quickly pressed yes.
He felt some energy drain from his body, but he knew it will be regained later.
[Inspect skill has been obtained!]
Ian looked towards the armor and used [Inspect]
Using this Ian found the best armor piece that suited him, actually it was more of a robe.
The robe had the hide made from a War Bear and it enhanced his magical and physical defenses.
[War Bear Robe]
10% physical damage negated
10% magical damage negated
Durability:100/100
Ian grabbed the robe and put it on the counter.
the old man smiled
"Good choice kid, that would be 2 silver coins. By the way the name's Ethan. Be sure to drop by again kid."
Ian introduced himself as he grabbed the robe and walked out.
Ian was happy with the haul and decided to stop by an Inn right by the store he was at.
When Ian went inside the Inn he turned around to see that 3 black cloaked figures was following him. And it was painfully obvious as they kept staring at him.
Now Ian a stepped outside of the Inn and entered the alleyway right next to the Inn.
The hooded figures followed him and as soon as all of them stepped in they were bounded instantly
"[Dark Chain]!"
All of them were now bound and since [Dark Chain] Was stronger it was going to hold for longer and be more durable.
"Dont move a single muscle, if any of you move I will slice the throat of one of you."
Ian used [Weapon Conjuring] and the dagger appeared and was pressed against one of their throats.
"W-wait don't hurt us!"
unexpectedly the voice was feminine, a soft and high-pitched voice.
Ian removed the cloak of one of the figures and it revealed a beautiful silver-haired girl. She had clear white skin, her hair was tied to a ponytail, and she looked desperate.
"I'm sorry sir for following you" the person behind the girl said
"Tell me the reason you are following me right now" Ian said in a harsh tone
Ian is obviously cautious even if it was a beautiful woman.
The chains dispersed and the women dropped to her knees and begged.
"Please help us! me and my friends need someone strong to save one of our friends! And you sir happened to be one." The girl pleaded
"Please sir, I will do anything!" the two behind her said
The other two sounded like teenage boys. It looks like they followed Ian in hopes he would offer them help.
