"Analyze," he said as he looked at the four items in front of him, viewing them in detail again.

The first item was a small multicolored ring.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This was the first of the four items he obtained and was one of his favorites with the many stats it boosts and the strong ability that is given along with it.

Neil quickly slipped the ring on and immediately felt a growth in power, he now moved on to the next item. Which was a similarly multicolored necklace.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

While it was slightly weaker than the ring and had no skills Neil still saw it as a wonderful pickup especially for the set bonus it gave when used with the ring.

To Neil's happiness the third item he had was the one he initially was going to set aside to purchase later. It was another multicolored piece of jewelry, this time being a bracelet.

Set Bonus: Strength of the shield of many metals will greatly increase, furthermore the cooldown of the skill Divine Luck is reduced by a second week, giving it a one week cooldown.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Both of Neil's wrists were now covered with different bracelets, he also now had a singular ring and necklace as well. Furthermore after equipping all of the items he felt much strong and also looked into his shirt to see the shield attached to the outside of his chest.

Now he moved onto the fourth item which left him slightly confused but also very curious.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Aged Demon Eye

Little is known about this item other than that it is the aged eye of a demon. It is said by some that these can be used to appease certain monsters who enjoy feasting on demons.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

He felt like this item would come to be useful as a form of bait or appeasement later on in his journey, so for now he decided to just hold onto it.

Now that Neil ha fully equipped the new items he had gotten it was time to investigate everything within his storage pouch.

He opened up the pouch began to poor everything currently in it out onto the table, making sure it was left completely empty.

The bodies he placed on the floor next to the table. Once done with that he began to organize the items on the table into multiple piles based on function.

When he was done he had three piles of items. One being the food and currency that he had placed within the bag throughout the night, these thing could simply be put back into the bag as they would be something he'd carry around with him and use when necessary. After that he looked at the second pile.

This pile was the 5 books that he had picked up from his visit to the tower earlier that day, as much as he wished to read into these further he simply didn't have time t the moment to read them so he pushed them back into the pouch along with the prior pile.

The second pile was the two corpses, though Neil was more focused on the armor set that was on the older man's corpse. He quickly pulled off the chest plate, leggings, boots, and vambraces for his forearms.

The armor was a light blue color similar to the head of his axe, he wondered if this amor came in a similar set as his axe.

He evaluated all four of them once they were off of the corpse.

-----------------------------------------------------

Blue Armor of the Knight Sargon (Full Set View)

This armor was specially commissioned by the knight Sargon and thus is made to fit with his class as a barbarian, furthermore its color scheme fits with the weapon he uses. That being said it was not made in the same setting as his other equipment and thus does not synergize with it.

Uncommon Grade Equipment

+3 Vitality

+2 Strength

+1 Endurance

+1 Will

This set is especially durable to and will hold together in situations where most other armors would shatter.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Sargon, I guess that must be you" Neil said looking at the body of the older man. He put on the man's armor set to see how it'd feel to wear. It was slightly heavy for him but he could feel the benefits from it and knew that it would be very beneficial for him.

After putting on all of his new equipment he shoveled all of the remaining items back into his pouch, though he was getting tired of carrying around bodies and would soon have to find a way to dispose of them.

He then decided to check on his stats and see how much they had increased with all of his new equipment that he had on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

All of his stats had increased by a rather considerable amount.

'So this is the strength of good equipment' Neil thought to himself as he gladly looked at all of his increased stats, especially his large increase in vitality, endurance, and strength all of which would be very useful to him as he played as a barbarian with his axe.

He took of his armor and laid down on his bed ready to fall asleep, he guessed it was now nearly 1 in the morning and knew he wouldn't get as much sleep as he desired. nonetheless he felt quite happy at what all he had accomplished in his first day in this new world.

As he drifted off to sleep he excitedly awaited whatever new experiences he might encounter within Archemia.

He awoke to a silent morning and while he didn't have a watch there was a clock within his room that read 6:22 am.

He quickly jumped out of bed and grabbed his pouched which contained everything except his axe which he kept strapped around his waist at all times. After making sure he had everything he had come in with he left his room silently along with the inn.

He then began to walk towards the casino and could make out a figure he presumed to be Amelia. He could make out the large bow which was strapped across her back along with the quiver full of arrows.

"Good morning" He said to her as he made it to the meeting spot, hoping to create a comfortable atmosphere for the two.

"No need for pleasantries" She responded back to Neil.

"Let's get out of this village, in what direction is the artifact you plan to lead me to" Amelia asked Neil.

After much thought Neil had chosen to go to the dungeon that contained the quiver of Klexo, as he felt it be the most beneficial to Amelia and would best increase her trust of him. Furthermore it was the safest to acquire of the three artifacts. Klexo was a goddess of the hunt within Archemia and thus her quiver would provide incredibly strong arrows on top of those that Amelia already possessed.

It would likely increase Amelia's strength and he hoped it would make allow her to see his worth as an ally.

"To the east" Neil replied to Amelia.

"The Krang Peaks, that'll be quite a journey" Amelia quickly set off to the west, and Neil did his best to follow her.

They made their way out of the village swiftly and were now going directly through the desert, soon enough they'd be at a small forest that lied in between the Blue Sands and the Krang Peaks, and then within the Peaks Neil would lead her to the artifact.

Their quest had officially begun, Neil hoped this would be the first of many.
