Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Got Scammed

Older women are hard to deal with. Maybe if I have some fun with them I could understand them better. Their services usually cost more because of their experience. In this nation too, people prefer older women. I particularly like young women. I don't mind them being three or four years younger.

Any more than that is not for me. Though I need more experience being around older women. So I will treat the cost as an investment of sorts.

Anyways it looks like I need to do some shopping and hit the hay. After killing so much and having to deal with that I wish I could drink. I am only 18 years old. The age of drinking in this nation is 20 years.

Stupid rules need to be changed. 18 years old seems reasonable enough to me. I mean at least let me drink beer or something. If you let people start early, there would be fewer heavy drinkers. I know when I turn 20 and I am not strapped for cash I will buy alcohol. I will have to keep myself somewhat respectable when drinking with others.

Which means I need to buy a decanter. I need that and a good amount of fancy glasses. Not too fancy because I am on a budget. I might not be smart based on my wisdom stat. Your stats don't mean everything because even I know you need a budget. People like Ferin who have a lot of wisdom points are primarily for fighting.

Someone like him doesn't budget his finances. He does know how to take down an army of demonic beasts. With or without a friend that is how smart he is when it comes to fighting.

I browsed the shop menu aimlessly. Bored and stressed out of my mind I had no direction. I just browsed the menu aimlessly. That was until I found something I would call a holy grail. It was a skill pill that was guaranteed to give me an S-rank skill. Prices change all the time on this menu.

The price for S-ranked skill pills has always been at least 1 million Sin Points. This almost seemed too good to be true. So I bought it right away. I was correct to think it was too good to be true.

That is why you should always read the description. What I bought was a skill pill that was heavily discounted but each discount has a specific tier. 50000 Sin points were for a C-ranked Skill pill. Guaranteed C-ranked non-combative skill.

Time to eat it and get a skill at least. I was hoping for a S-rank skill pill but this is better than nothing. When I took the pill it was hard to swallow. It isn't like the F ranks. Those are still hard to swallow.

It's not like you can eat these and then swallow. They are so hard to break. I can break it even using all my strength with a hammer. So when this pill fits half my hand. Swallowing this is almost killing me. Thankfully it seems that I can cough these up when I start to choke.

It took a couple of tries but I got the pill down. In an instant, a message appeared in my head. . I read the new skill I obtained. To my surprise it is useful. Unlike the skill Imperial Spirit. This tells me what it does and how to activate it.

Weapon Enhancement C - Every weapon you use has a level and lists its durability. Upgrading the weapon can make it stronger. There are multiple ways to upgrade.

I clicked on the continue button to read further on. One way to upgrade is to allow the weapon to absorb monster materials. Absorbing monsters will allow them to gain skills and durability.

The second way is absorbing materials. Like wood and metals. I am not sure why this would be useful but I guess if something is blocking my way I could absorb it.

The third and final way is the easiest way. I just have to use the weapon more. I like that. All I have to do is use the weapon more and its level and weapon-grade will get better.

I forgot about that. Every weapon also has a grade. Common to Dimension Destroyer. I am sure I can't just use a weapon enough to make it a world-destroying weapon. I like the idea of things having levels. In the one fantasy story, I finished. Granted it was only 2 volumes.

Things were used with levels. You had a level, your friend had a level. Even monsters had a level. It was a way to gauge how powerful you are. Because a level 10 would have a very hard time going against a level 100. Knowing that most would realize that the level difference means a big strength difference.

I wish I knew my level. Granted the story I read said after 100 you were capped out. Since I have no level means I must be able to get as strong as the world. At least that is what I can hope for.
