Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: System Shop

As soon as he clicked on the System Shop located on the right side of the status window, a new window appeared in front of him…

System-Shop

-Weapon-Shop

-Armor-Shop

-Relic-Shop

-Potion-Shop

-Simulator [Locked]

-Dungeon Challenge [Locked]

-Exchange-Centre

Looking at the system shop, he clicked on the potion shop…'I hope…it has a healing potion…'

After clicking on the Potion-shop a new window appeared in front of him displaying a large variety of glass bottles of different sizes and shapes, filled with liquids of myriad colors and qualities…

Quickly sweeping his eyes over the array of potions, his gaze soon paused over the image of a circular glass bottle filled with viridescent green liquid shimmering in a faint yellow light. The pictures of the potions around had a light-green background to them.

Below the picture of the green potion, its details were mentioned…

[Lesser Healing Potion]

[Cost: 100 Naruka gems]

[Effect: Heals minor injuries, cures minor ailments]

'No…this won't do, it only heals minor injuries…I need something more potent and effective…'

Then he continued to search for a more potent Healing potion, after finding all the potions around to be of a Lesser quality, he scrolled down on the list of potions to soon find a new variety of potions with a light blue background.

Quickly sweeping his eyes over them he soon finds a new healing potion...

[Intermediate Healing Potion]

Rank: Intermediate

[Cost: 300 Naruka gems]

[Effect: Heals serious injuries such as broken bones, and flesh injuries, restores severed limbs, cures intermediate ailments and minor curses]

'This should do'…He then checks his Naruka gems balance displayed in the top right corner. 

[600 Naruka gems]

As far he could remember, after completing his first quest Advent Of The Apex Predator he received 500 Naruka gems, then he used up 200 on the Inventory, after that he received 300 more gems after killing the Solaris-Iromot…making it a total of 600 Naruka gems…

Looking at the 600 Naruka gems he didn't hesitate and directly bought the Intermediate Healing Potion…as soon as he bought the potion, it directly appeared in front of him floating in mid-air…

The Intermediate Healing potion had a bright shamrock green color which would sometimes shimmer in a faint golden light. The glass bottle holding the potion was also different from the previous one, it had a three-dimensional hexagonal shape, making it look like a beautiful gem.

As soon as the bottle appeared in front of Aron he quickly reached out his shaky right hand and grabbed it carefully. He then brought the bottle near his mouth, flicked open the cork on the top of the bottle, and directly started gulping down the bitter potion, emptying the entire bottle within a couple of seconds.

As soon as the potion entered his body a faint green glow enveloped his entire body, from head to toe. Feeling the rejuvenating effect of the potion, he looked at his severed left shoulder with a look of surprise in his eyes, because he saw his left shoulder starting to grow. 

First, the large wound over his left side started to heal at an astonishing pace, after the wound was completely healed, his left shoulder slowly started forming, the new skin enveloped his regrowing muscles, bones, blood vessels, and nerves, followed by his left arm.

Within 10-15 minutes he regains his entire left shoulder and arm. Feeling extremely happy and astonished by the prowess of the healing potion as well as the system he starts grinning in joy.

Then he looked at the dark blue silken shirt he had been wearing since the day of the talent test, the shirt was now missing the entire left shoulder along with the arm and had black burnt marks at the corners where the spiral laser had torn/burnt his left shoulder.

He remembered seeing an Armor Shop option, thus he once again opened the System Shop and this time clicked on the Armor Shop.

Soon a new window opened in front of him with a vast array of Armors were listed on it. Similar to the potion shop, the Armor shop also had different types of armor with a specific color in the background representing their quality. Here however all the armors were ranked based on their rarity.

As he started looking, his eyes quickly swept across all the armor that had a light green background and came across a decent-looking leather armor

Attributes:

Defense Boost: +5%

'Looks decent enough, but the price….I only have 300 Naruka gems left…sigh'…Closing the Armor shop he was about to dismiss the status screen when suddenly he noticed the -Exchange-Centre option at the very bottom of the System shop list.

Slightly intrigued, he clicked on it and a new window appeared in front of him. 

[ Exchange-Centre ]

[Exchange Nightmare cores]

Exchange Tier - I Nightmare cores → ___ quantity 

[1 nightmare core = 50 Naruka gems]

Exchange Tier - II Nightmare cores → ___ quantity

[1 nightmare core = 150 Naruka gems]

Exchange Tier - III Nightmare cores → ___ quantity

[1 nightmare core = 500 Naruka gems]

Looking at the Exchange window he becomes excited and directly puts all his Nightmare cores into the exchange center which includes the eleven Havoc-Lykors and one Solaris-Iromot.

After exchanging all his Nightmare cores he obtains a total of 1050 Naruka gems, 550 from the eleven Havoc-Lykors, and 500 from the single Solaris-Iromot, further adding it to his existing 300 Naruka gems making the total up to 1350 Naruka gems!!

Looking at the vast number of Naruka gems he becomes excited about buying new gear from the System store.

Opening the Armor shop once again, he started looking for higher-grade armor, directly starting with the Armors with a light blue background he started going through all the Armors…Looking at the cost, all the armor with the light-blue background came with a price ranging from 800 to 3000 Naruka gems.

After sweeping through some of the armor that he could afford, he picked three pieces of armor that caught his eye …
