Melka Town
In the central region of Melka Town, there is a three-story building with an area of one thousand square meters.
On the top of the door, there is a huge plaque with the words 'Benly Store' written on it. From the door, a young man with an age around 16 years walked out with a slight smile on his face.
"Finally collected the last coin…" He is wearing grey cotton clothes walking on the street with a small pouch tightly held in his hand.
He looked around with vigilance and walked toward the direction of his home.
The streets were flanked with two rows of shops. The road was nearly a meter wide with pedestrians coming and going like flies. Along the roadsides, some stalls are selling wares. From time to time pedestrians would stop and buy something from them.
The people on the streets were divided into several kinds. Some are just ordinary people dressed in cotton clothes like him and while others wore clothes made from leather. Most of the people who wear leather clothes are local hunters.
Easton was walking around the road without any intention to stop. He would not even glance at the products sold by these people.
Because for him these products are low quality simply not worth his attention. He has seen better products in his previous life.
Yes! Easton is not from this world. Six years ago he transmigrated to this world. This world is unlike the previous world where there are professions like Warriors, Knights, Alchemists etc. Who held unimaginable power in their hands and their status are above commoners. Out of all these professions, the noblest one is Spell Masters.
Spell masters are like magicians in his previous world but unlike those fake ones, these are the real deal. All the spell masters practice and learn mysterious spells that help them world monstrous power.
Some spells can create a tsunami of flames out of thin air. Some spells bring thunderstorms in the calm sky.
Of course, not all spell masters have this power. Beginner Spell master does not have power like this but compared to normal people they are very strong. Even the warriors and Knights of the same level are no match for the spell master in one on one.
This is the reason why Spell masters are so respected and are objects of training of every empire. This is also the dream of countless people.
Every commoner has the same dream. Just like Easton but unlike others who can only dream he has the talent for it.
To become a spell master one should have Affinity to an Attribute! When a child reaches the age of ten they can undergo the test to determine their affinity.
Commoners or nobles of them can proceed with this test. But the difficulty of possessing the affinity of any Attribute is rare. Out of Ten thousand people, only one can have an affinity to an Attribute.
That's how rare it is. But Easton is lucky at the time of the test everyone discovered that they possess an affinity to an Attribute. This should be considered as a happy event and he should have been selected by various noble houses of the academy for training but this never happened.
Why? Because he has an affinity to an unknown Attribute!
All the spells of various Attributes are created by a mighty wise man in the past with countless efforts. It takes hundreds of years to create a spell system for any Attribute.
Once in a while, there will be the discovery of new Attributes. At first, when people discovered new Attributes they started researching the Attribute enthusiastically but as time passed people started to ignore the new Attributes for various reasons.
Therefore people with new or unknown Attributes are often ignored and rejected by Spell Master society.
He has the same situation: he was neglected and thrown aside because there are no spells suitable for him and no one wants to research an unknown field. Thus he was shunned on the first day of transmigration. His only option is to remain a commoner and spend his life frugally.
But he was not like others because God opened another door for him and he got a system.
This system is very unique as it did not help him in practising spells or help him find resources. On the first day, the system gave him a mission and has been silent since then.
The mission is to collect 100 gold within 10 years. You should know that a family of commoners can have a happy and fulfilled life with just one gold coin. One can imagine the value of a gold coin.
But he was given a task to collect 100 within 10 years. This is an unimaginable and ridiculous task but Easton still completed it today.
He received the task six years ago. Today he is sixteen and for six years he has been living frugally doing dangerous jobs just to collect a hundred gold coins.
In these years to make money he has offended countless people and made many enemies. These people are the ones who made things difficult for him and made him feel humiliated but he endured just to complete the task.
And he completed it! Just thinking about this makes him feel complicated. He worked hard for six years just for this day!
He wants to be above everyone and become a powerful Spell master. But because of unknown affinity, he could not do so; this system is his only hope.
At the end of the commercial street, Easton made a right turn and an average run-down Manor appeared in his vision.
This is his dwelling where he has been living for the last six years. Although the appearance of the house is not good, the rent is low, only 50 copper coins per month.
Therefore he has been living in this place for a long time. He cannot find a cheap rental house like this in the entire Melka Town. And this house is located near the commercial street so the security is pretty good.
In this Manor, there are few people. Except for the old house owner, others are tenants like him.
He never likes to talk too much because his personality is a bit withdrawn. Minding his own business he rushed to his room.
His room is located on the second floor. He arrived in front of his room and opened the room with the keys.
Click!
Inside the room, there is not much decoration with only simple furniture. There is one small bed, a cupboard and a closet. On the right of this room are the toilet and shower.
He removed his worn-out shoes and walked into the room with an impatient expression. He did not even bother to wash his mud-stained foot. He walked toward the bed and pulled it.
Creak!
After the bed was pulled from its position. Below the bed, there was a green carpet. He removed the carpet and a key was lying on the ground.
He picked up the key and then spread the carpet and pushed the bed to its original position.
After doing this he arrived near the closet and took out a locked wooden box from the bottom of the closet.
He unlocked the box with the key in his hand and opened it with trembling hands.
Inside the box, there are many gold coins with stamps of the empire.
"Finally I have collected a hundred coins. For this, I suffered so much! The system you better not disappoint me otherwise…." Easton muttered to himself but he stopped suddenly. What can he do to the system? Boycott it? He needs the help of the system, not the other way around.
He sighed helplessly as this was his last hope. If it doesn't work then he can only give up and live a normal life.
"System! I want to hand in the task."
"Ding… 100 gold coins detected…."
"Handing in the task…."
