Planet 0033, one of the planets in Garbage starfield, a 16-year-old boy was sweeping through mountains of garbage looking for left treasures. His name was Jacob without a surname because he was an orphan who was found by one of the locals in planet 0033 in a pile of garbage. He was raised by an old man and later died because of sickness when Jacob was 13 years old.
Because of poverty, Jacob do not have any support for his training and his strength was only stuck at level 10 with an innate talent of Plasma Manipulation where he can construct any weapon, object, or power from plasma. This innate talent can be classified or categorized as an elemental and crafting innate talent as it can be used for both. A powerful hybrid innate talent that can be used either for fighting or supporting.
He can easily progress in levels if he has the capability to enter hunting grounds. Entering a beginner hunting ground will only cost 100 human dollars, but because he is poor, he can only afford to enter if he can find something worth more than he spends a day.
In Fantasy World, there is also a currency used by players, but it can only be used inside that world to purchase anything that can be found inside that world, and it cannot be converted to human dollars, but human dollars can be converted to Fantasy World currency.
A human dollar is worth a hundred Fantasy World currency so the wealthy can easily obtain what they needed inside the game. As Fantasy World currency are easily obtainable just by hunting monster and selling stuffs with locals inside as the humans call them as NPCs, the humans does not allow to exchange FW currency for Human dollar as it will disrupt the market outside Fantasy World.
"I hope I can find something useful this time and sold it at a high price so that I can enter a hunting ground for me to level up" Jacob sighed as he keeps on turning over the garbage in front of him.
Many humans are like him here in Planet 0033 and some have the same age as him, hoping that they will hit the jackpot one day.
Using his innate talent, Jacob forms a rake using plasma to easily browse through the pile of garbage and prevent his hands from getting hurt.
RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!
The sound of a garbage cargo can be heard from afar as it keeps on moving forward to Planet 0033 to empty the garbage it is carrying.
Jacob looked at the ship waiting for it to throw the garbage and start to compete with other people to find left treasures broken in the battlefield.
Newly disposed garbage has higher chances of having treasures than the old ones as it was still not swept through by other collectors, so it is always anticipated by them every time there is a new arrival.
As Jacob already estimated the place where the ship will dump the garbage it is carrying, a wing shape plasma started growing on his back and finally started to open as it readies to take flight.
Jacob started to float and with a single flap, he started to accelerate forward.
Many people also used their superpowers to accelerate themselves to go to the place the ship will dump the garbage, the competition already started as they race towards the place.
As everyone knew that this garbage was only debris from the battlefield, but they did not know that during one of the battles, unexpectedly a wormhole suddenly appeared, and rocks and soil spewed out from the wormhole that nobody knew that it was a part of a planet where the Intellect race resides but was destroyed by unknown reasons.
After the battle, these remains where also collected by garbage collector ships and later dumped in this planet where Jacob was in.
Jacob already arrived at the place where the ship will dump its garbage and he already took a place where he will start his search.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM!
A large amount of garbage was dumped, and a cloud of smoke was form. After a minute the dust subsided and the people beside it can see the contains of the garbage. Shards of unknown metals can be found, some linens that are rugged, a piece of leather that can be a part of an armor and rocks can be seen.
Good metals can be sold for a few bucks but those that are commonly seen metals are considered as junk and no one wants to buy them because they can be easily obtained through mining unhabitable planets.
Jacob, as one of the veterans in this field, easily identified those metals that can be sold and those that are not. Mostly, these metals that can be sold are parts of weapons and armors of warriors that were defeated, the whole piece of the armor and weapons were already collected by those that are working inside the garbage ship so only scrap metals are left for the people like Jacob were left to search for.
As Jacob was collecting those metals, he never knew that in the place where he chose, there were rocks and soil included and no one knew that it was the remains of a planet from the intellect race from the ancient times.
He keeps on searching and turning over through the piles of garbage until he stumbles upon a rock which he detected to contain a piece of metal inside. Without leaving any piece of rock unturned, he collected that rock for him to open it when he goes home.
Everybody keeps on turning the debris until no valuables were left and the sun already started to set so gradually, the people around start to move out. It was another lucky day for those collectors that they have a bountiful harvest for the day.
Jacob also went home with a smile as he knew he can sell a huge amount of money with his harvest.
