"Phew, finally back at Balkrow…" Shye muttered with a slight smile on his face.
Since he managed to obtain a rather great harvest from the auction and escape the dastardly pursuer—leaving no traces—Shye was in a fantastic mood.
Somehow, the familiar sight of Balkrow's gates gave him a feeling of safety.
Perhaps due to his near-death experience with the misty arachne.
Utenburg City was the city nearest to Balkrow with a teleporter—only around two days away, hence, after traveling for…well…two days, he finally arrived at the aforementioned city, his current base of operations.
Since it was still early in the morning, and he had a great night's sleep at a nearby town last night, Shye was raring to take a few quests, rank up to platinum, and save a sizable amount of money.
It was a great time to start grinding, and so, he did.
