Chereads / The Merchant of All / Chapter 2 - Changes of the World

Chapter 2 - Changes of the World

When the shaking of the ground faded, a monotonous neutral voice can be heard in his mind

[Welcome Player!]

[Please make your character]

Yuuri open his eyes and saw a hologram in front of him. This is the game's hologram.

[Please make your character]

Yuuri doesn't do anything and contemplates what is happening. He looks at his surroundings and it is still the same. This is his room, he looks outside and what he saw greatly shakes him.

Tall buildings, Towers, and many more structures that are not there in the first place are now there. Yuuri looks around and saw that these structures are familiar.

They are structures from PARADISE. But these structures are now ruined. Even the surrounding of it. Then Yuuri thought of the hologram in front of him.

Still, in his shocked state, he moves his hand that is shaking. He doesn't change anything exaggerated, only his malnourished body. He somewhat tones it to normal. Not big, not small. Slightly thin waist, muscles that are condensed. He is not the buff type but also not the feminine type.

A normal body for a 175cm man. Tan skin, average face, abyss eyes and long black hair. After confirming it, he feels the changes in his body. He is also hungry but chooses to ignore it.

The words in the hologram change.

[Please distribute your 50 Stat Points]

[Strength:

Agility:

Vitality:

Intelligence:

Luck:

SP: 50]

Still not in the right mind, I distributed the stats; 5 for strength, 7 for agility, 8 for vitality, 10 for intelligence and 20 for luck.

The words in the hologram change again.

[Please choose your class]

So many professions, this time I choose something that I think is suitable for me. I study different types of classes in the forum. About their reviews, pros and cons and so on. Many hidden classes need certain conditions such as the Berserker where you need to fight to the death and never give up, the Blood Warrior where you need to slaughter 200 humans alone and many more hidden classes.

What caught my interest is the Merchant class, in the forum, it is being mocked because they don't have that much combat power. It is also hard to improve because many NPCs are merchants so you have so many competitors.

The highest level of merchant in the game is 45. It is one of the worst classes but I still want this. I found this suitable for me since I live in poverty.

I also found out that money is what makes the world alive.

There's a trading feature in the system, even an auction. This time I will take full advantage of my surroundings,

After calming myself, even my mind that is not on the right track previously awoken. Making character means beginning. So if I am not mistaken, all of us are starting in the same line now.

Opportunity is now free for everyone, although I don't know what causes these changes in the world, I will take this as an opportunity.

Accepting what is happening in front of you is the first step. I choose the merchant class.

[Are you sure to choose Merchant? Yes/No]

I choose yes.

[Congratulations on being a Merchant!]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations player! You are the first Merchant! You've been awarded 5 chances to draw in the Roulette of Fate]

[Would you like to use your chances? Yes/No]

This time, I was dumbfounded. It's already been 7 minutes since the change of the world and I am still the first to become a Merchant? Does the other didn't want to be a merchant anymore? If yes, then I have a full monopoly of it.

I didn't know the existence of Roulette of Fate, but freebies are good. Who doesn't want freebies?

The Roulette of Fate didn't exist in the game so I don't know what this is, but if it is from the system then I think there's no harm giving it a try. It's not that I trust that system, but what can you do?

I choose yes, then a roulette in which many prizes appear in front of me.

[Draw x1/ Draw x5]

I choose Draw x5, Time is gold.

Then 5 roulette appears, it spins, faster and faster. After about 10 seconds all 5 stop.

[Congratulations on getting the "Mystery Box"]

When I read the items, especially the Weighing Scale of Life and its effects. I got goosebumps. I feel crying, Why am I so blessed this time.

Vitality: 8

Intelligence: 10

Luck: 20

SP: 1000 ]

Then the first I do is hatch the unknown egg. In PARADISE all you need to do is drop blood of your own then the pet will hatch. I take a knife and slash a small cut on my finger.

The blood dropped in the egg and the next second the egg glowed. A cracking sound was heard and it continued. A black figure is now in my palm. It is a rabbit. It has ruby eyes and soft fur.

" Ku"

[Nameless

Rank: Mythical

Race: Magical Rabbit

Level: 1

HP: 500/500

MP: 1000/1000

Strength: 10

Agility: 20

Vitality: 50

Intelligence: 100

Luck: 100 ]

The rabbit is staring at me with its ruby eyes, I stare at him too.

"What should I call you? How about Ku? Nah. How about Shen?"

"Ku"

He agreed so it's decided.

"From now on you are Shen!"

The rabbit just hops in my palm before jumping on my shoulder. I take out the Primordial Class Change.

It is in the form of a scroll, I tear the scroll and a new notification sounds.

[Will you change class? Yes/No]

Of course yes.

[Merchant class detected. Finding Merchant class...Ding! The Merchant of All]

[Would you like to change class to "The Merchant of All"? Yes/No]

I still press Yes, this is a hidden class. Who would not want that?

[Class has been changed from Merchant to "The Merchant of All"]

[Class skill "Negotiator" obtained]

[Class skill "World Trade" obtained]

[Class skill "Wide Search" obtained]

[Class skill "Smooth Talker" obtained]

[Class skill "Discerning Eye" obtained]

[Class skill "Gold is life" obtained]

[Class skill "Shop" obtained]

[Class skill "Infinity Storage" obtained]

Then information about the skills appeared in my mind. The negotiator is a skill that enhanced my chances of getting the upper hand in every negotiation. World Trade is like the system's trade feature, but this one is special since the things that you bought will be confidential, only I the skill holder will know who is the seller and buyer.

Wide Search is a tracking skill, even mages have this. Smooth Talker is for my speech, like even if I said this rock is a diamond someone who has a low intelligence than me will believe it. Discerning Eye is an analysis skill, all information will be available to me, this is good at collecting data.

Gold is Life is a skill that exchanges your gold for something, like 1000 gold for archer skill or something like that. Shop like what is called a shop, this shop is solely for my products. Like if I use my World Trade then I have a Shop that is only for me, it can be in the system form and it can be not.

Last but not least is Infinity Storage, like what it said it is infinite. The System also has storage(Inventory) but only with 100 slots, while mine doesn't have a limit. And my storage can store living things.

The last item that I'll use is the Mystery Box. I take out the Mystery Box in my Inventory and it is a small box that is coloured white. I open it and a colourful light blinded me. The monotonous neutral voice of the system sounded.

[Congratulations on obtaining the "Primordial Set"]

The Primordial Set appears in my inventory, it is consisting of Boots, Pants, Shirts, Robe, Gloves, Ring, Earrings, Mask, Crown and Umbrella.
