Heading back inside, the clerk looked at Amon with grateful eyes.
"I'm extremely grateful to you young man! If anything were to happen to the furniture, I cannot fathom what miss Athena would do to us." He hurriedly bowed.
Amon waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing much.
However, the clerk wasn't done yet.
He quickly retrieved a golden card from behind the counter and handed it to him.
"Actually, I'm also the manager of this shop. So as a token of my thanks, I would like to give you our golden membership of this shop."
Taken aback a little, Amon retrieved the card.
It was a golden card with black lines running through the top and the logo of 'House of Olympus' imprinted at the corner.
He knew that HOD had various memberships for their customers that they would give for a certain amount of Exlor.
The golden membership was one of the starting tiers.
Amon knew this all since it was also given to Michael later on in the story by Athena as a reward for doing her a favour.
This was what led him to later form a close partnership with the shop and also purchase spatial rings.
It was a little surprise for him to get it this easily, but not like he was complaining.
He gratefully accepted the card, but sighed internally.
He already felt like he wasn't an Extra anymore with all these cheats.
"Ah yes! Now that we are free from all interruptions, may I inquire what you need?"
Amon nodded, remembering what he was here for.
"I'm here to buy a spatial ring."
The clerk nodded, his eyes gleaming.
Most customers here mostly bought the spatial ring, so it wasn't much of a surprise that he was here for the same.
Though it was a little intriguing that he would have that much money to buy it, considering his average appearance.
Nevertheless, the clerk continued.
"A spatial ring of course! What are your specifications for the ring?"
"A spatial ring that can hold liquids to be precise. Its capacity should be 10 cubic metre." (A.N: 10 cubic metre = 10000 Litres)
Initially surprised a little by the sudden request for a liquid spatial ring, the clerk quickly recovered and nodded with eagerness.
"Of course! And do you have any specific thickness or custom design you want for the ring?" He inquired.
Amon shook his head and raised his right hand, extending his ring finger.
"No specific design, just a simple metal gray ring that would fit this finger." He informed and the manager nodded.
He quickly took some measurements for his finger before proceeding through the back door to check for the ring.
After a while, he arrived back.
"I'm extremely sorry but unfortunately we don't have a ring for your specific size. So I'm hoping if you could please wait one day for your ring to be prepared." The clerk informed.
Amon was a little disappointed but he still nodded.
"Usually it would take 3 to 4 days but because of your golden membership, we'll prepare it as fast as we can, and of course you get 50% off on your first out of ten orders. The discount will be reduced to 20% after that." The clerk tried to improve the situation.
Nodding again, Amon decided to move towards the next topic.
"I want a face covering artifact, a mask preferably."
The manager nodded.
"Do you want a full coverage or half coverage mask?"
Pondering on it for a moment, Amon replied.
"Full coverage."
The manager nodded and quickly displayed a number of masks in front of Amon.
Looking at all of them, he saw various designs imprinted on the masks.
Between them, he even saw the mask that Michael would choose later on.
A white mask with fiery red eyes imprinted on it and a burning smile.
It quite matched his fiery and wholesome personality so he had picked that.
As he was admiring the white mask, a certain mask right next to it caught his eye.
It was a simple all black mask with a wide devilish white smile spread on it and two big white circles as eyes, with the right one having a small scar.
For some strange reason, it appealed to him and so he picked it up.
Right as picked it up, a system interface opened in front of him.

Artifacts were ranked from 1 stars to 10 stars, and their effects and abilites depended upon their rank.
'The artifact is perfect for me.' Amon thought.
He quickly faced the manager and asked the price.
"I'll take this one, how much is it?"
The manager took a quick glance at the mask.
"That's 75k Exlor but with your gold membership, it'll be 37.5k sir." He answered and Amon nodded.
He handed the mask over and told him that he'll buy it.
"If you mind me asking sir, but do you want anything else or is that it?"
Shaking his head, Amon asked for his next item to buy.
"I want a mana concealing artifact next."
At his words, the eyes of the manager gleamed.
"There are two more items that come with this artifact in a set, one of them matches your requirement. May I show you items if you want?" He asked and the boy in turn nodded.
He quickly proceeded through the back door before coming back a minute later, with a shiny black cane and cape emcased in a shiny box.
Taking off the lid, he quickly showed them to Amon.
Piqued by the cane, the boy picked it up to inquire it.
A system window opened up again.
