•Limitless Online, Evergreen Continent, Greenwood Forest •
• 10:00 PM •
Evergreen Auction House was the third best auction house in Limitless Online's eleven continents. It was not run by players like other auction houses.
It will hold an event at a random time with thirty items of S class rarity and twenty of A class rarity.
This event has never been done before because the game has only been out for a short time. People will only be able to see the action on the wiki five times, just to pique their interest.
In any case, not many people from other continents will come. It was only recently announced. The starting bid for the few items mentioned on the wiki was said to be at least a golf coin each.
Unless you're in a guild or have a way to make gold quickly, it's worthwhile to come. It was an event designed for players who had dedicated themselves to the game from the start.
Albwin didn't have much money because he spent most of his time in the forest killing monsters and leveling up his skills.
In comparison to the top players, he was bankrupt. His level, on the other hand, was quite high.
Albwin gave Dawn more information about the game and told him about the sittings as they walked through the forest.
There was an option to change the color of the blood or completely eliminate it, but some people have sensitive stomachs.
Limitless Online can be purchased when you are eighteen in most countries, but only sixteen in the United Kingdom.
Players must travel to a city or town in order to reach the hub, where they will find a wealth of resources. Mostly shops and places to live where you can log out.
It's a safe place because no one can attack you there. It took the two boys only three hours to get to town.
This was not your typical town. There were a few hundred small houses in the trees and a few on the ground, but they were all connected to a tree. Overhead, wooden bridges were visible, creating paths for the residents to move around with ease.
Dawn was concerned about what would happen if he entered the place the way he was now.
"Hey, what happens if a monster comes into town?" Dawn inquired.
"Oh, the guards killed it...ohhh" When Albwin realized what Dawn was saying, he sighed. But first, we need to find you a [Shape Shift] skill. I'm not sure where to board unless we go to the hub and see if anyone has any for sale. "
Dawn hummed as she looked ahead. This was such a pain. Regrettably, you could just make up a skill and go for it. He can't get one if no one is selling any tens unless he finds a skill token for it.
Dawn nodded and opened the chat, completely ignoring what was being said. They typed in a single command and found themselves in a city square in the following section.
Surprisingly, no players were present. Strange. It's the game's hub, so you'd think people would be here, but apparently not.
"Well, it's getting late," Albwin stated. "And, as far as I can tell, we are not in the main part of the hub. There are a total of six places where you can end up in the hub. My guess is that we are at one near the island's edge."
"It's an island?" Dawn inquired.
"Yeah, The hub is located on an island in the middle of the sea. They made multiple areas for players so that there weren't thousands of people crammed together."
It made some sense. They couldn't simply make everyone else disappear and go about their business. It would be a nice feature, but it would be implemented. At least not in the way the game is played.
Maybe if millions of people were online at the same time.
Dawn strolled down the street, inspecting the small stalls by the side of the road. They were both buying and selling items. Dawn used this opportunity to sell the useless items he received and clear out some of his inventory.
The dragon had no use for them right now. Albwin followed suit.
Unfortunately, you cannot sell everything to a single NPC when selling items. You must look for someone who is purchasing that item. Damn can't sell bat fangs to butchers, but he can to alchemists. It was a minor distinction that few people noticed.
Albwin dragged Damn away before he could spend the small amount of money he had just received.
"What are we going to do?" Damn asked, trying to escape his claws.
You should pay a visit to a stall. It's where players can sell their items for a small profit. "
"Can't you just get it from an NPC?" Damn, I grumbled. "They're literally standing right there."
"Well, when they run out of stock, their trades change." Albwin shot him, causing him to freeze.
"Is that possible?" The dragon let out a long, irritated sigh when he saw Albwin nod. He can't just go somewhere and know it's there if he needs something in the future. Inside, everything is up to chance.
When the two arrived at another stall, they went through everything. Dawn was on the lookout for anything that fit his budget and the skill token.
"Got it!" Albwin stated "It's ten gold coins!" He yelled angrily.
"Is it really that bad?" Dawn was curious. He had no idea what any of these items were worth.
"It's ludicrous." With that much, I can get a skill with a B or possibly even an A rank rarity. Except for you, no one is going to keep this skill. " Albwin was on the verge of pulling out his hair. "Fortunately, he's online, so I can go negotiate a lower price."
"How much money do you have?" Dawn inquired, taking a look at his own balance. "I'll give you what I have right now and repay you later."
"It's all right." Albwin waved the dragon away. He messaged the player who had the skill token about how cheap it was. I'm not wealthy in comparison to other players, but we got that token today. And, besides, you're my friend. I asked you to play this game, so the least I can do is make it so that you can fully enjoy it. "
"A-Ah." Dawn stumbled over his words and shifted her gaze away from the elf. He didn't appreciate it when people did things for him, even if it was out of kindness. Dawn resolved not to repay him in the future. Unlike the arrogant brats at his school, he had some genuine friends.

Albwin was standing near a fountain when another player approached him. Dawn had been told by the elf to go somewhere else, so no one could see him. They intended to keep Dawn's race a secret for as long as possible.
There were items that hid such information, but they would never find one of this content, not even in the capital. While they were not common on some human continents, they were far from uncommon.
[Lv12 • Michael • Human]
"Are you the one who desired the skill token?" Michael inquired, a little nervously. Albwin mentally smiled as he realized this.
"That is, indeed, me." I'm wondering if I could get it any lower. " Albwin inquired while sitting up straight. Since he could walk, he was taught to be self-assured and to put himself above others.
Despite their status, his parents were very humble people who knew how to do their job properly. Albwin could tell this person had led a normal life. His hold act would never work on Raven and Miko, who grew up in the same neighborhood as him.
"E-eight gold coins, maybe," said Michael. "You know how rare skill tokens are?"
"They are, but a Shape Shift skill token is nearly useless in this game." The elf stated confidently. I'm probably the only one who'll buy it. "Six gold coins."
"No! If that's the case, it's more valuable to you. Eight. I can't go any lower. "
'Oh. I wasn't expecting him to pick up on that.' Albwin was surprised, but his cold demeanor never broke.
"Hm. Okay. " Albwin stood up with a shrug.
"Eh?" Michael's drain was currently having trouble loading. He only regained his composure after observing Albwin begin to walk away. "Wait..."
"Sorry, not sorry." Albwin came to a halt and faced the boy. "How long has that skill been available?"
"T-Two weeks," The boy stuttered.
"Has anyone attempted to purchase it?" The elf had received no response. Instead, Michael stood motionless. That was enough of an answer. "I got my answer. Five gold, since you didn't take my offer before."
"S-Six. That's as low as I can go!" said Michael.
"Well, it was either four or nothing now." Again, no response. "Well, I'm going to leave now."
Albwin walked away from the boy, going towards where he had least seen Dawn.
"Wait!"
'Got you.' Albwin grinned but was able to hide it just as he turned around. Michael walked over to him holding a shining golden token.
"Four gold." He extended his hands. He hadn't yet looked up at Albwin.
"Deal." The elf handed him the gold and accepted the token. He sighed in relief as he put it in his inventory. "Well, see you later."
Michael didn't say anything to him, instead walking away almost in tears, his back hunched.
"It's like stealing gold from a baby." Albwin burst out laughing as soon as the human was out of sight. "Now. Where is Dawn now?"
