The Skill in question was one I had heard of time and time again, mainly due to the fact that the self-proclaimed highest pro-ranker was famous for being the one who purchased it.
The thing about these high-quality Circulation Skills was each one had a limit on how many could be purchased from the Arkadia Shop, and without hesitation, when I saw the name crop up on the list, I moved on instinct, buying it.
[Thank you for your Purchase; your Item has been deposited into your Inventory.]
With my act of purchasing said Circulation Skill, it was forever removed from the Shop, and knowing what I had done would affect the future, I swiftly changed my display to that of the event quest.
{Descent of Arkadia: 10,011 Years.} *-2 Years*
{Current Influence: 33 Years} *+2 Years*
'Damn, only set him back by 2 Years; unfortunately, meh, at least I've stayed in 7th place…for now.'
