At That moment, the announcer declared that he had won the auction. A smile crept upon his face.
"I have won the auction" Myles muttered under his breath.
He looked around him, spotting the person who had lost to him in bidding. Whenever their eyes met, the man gave Myles a malicious stare. It was clear that he bore grudge with Myles due to losing in bidding.
However, Myles didn't care afterall he won fair and square.
Just a few seconds later, the voice of the auctioneer resounded through his ears.
"Guest number 202 please wait for the auction to end. In order to claim your item" The announcer declared, his voice carrying seriousness.
Myles nodded his head, signaling his approval. He sat down silently for the rest of the auction, quietly watching various items getting auctioned.
Half an hour later.
All of the items had been auctioned signaling the end of the auction. Now, the announcer officially declared the end of the auction.
"The auction has come to an end guys. Someone will lead those who have won the bidding to the items that they have bought.
Be sure to prepare the money to claim your items" The announcer declared, his voice carrying a sense of authority.
Myles and everyone else who had won the bidding nodded their heads in approval. Afterwards, the announcer left without uttering even a single word
Myles saw the guy who lost him in the bid raging out of the auction house. It was clear that he was very angry. But Myles didn't care since he had won fair and square.
He waited patiently for him to be escorted to his item.
At the same time in the real world.
A young man who was no older than Myles was lying down on his head while wearing the VR headset around his head. Yes, he was probably playing Aetheris Online.
All of a sudden however, he woke up from his slumber and removed the helmet from his head, throwing at the side of his bed.
"Because of that fucking bitch, I couldn't her my hands on the set of armor and tools!! Though I can't get them now, I will make sure to make that person's life miserable!!!" The young man shouted his voice carrying rage.
Just mere seconds after he shouted, two butlers entered his room with worried look on their face.
"Is there anything wrong young master Carole?" One of the butler asked respectfully.
Carole was the one of a very rich businessman. Bodyguards and butler were around him 24/7 to meet his needs.
He also got whatever he wanted from a very young age. This was one of the reasons, he couldn't accept his lost against Myles.
"Fucking leave!!" Carole angry said.
"But…"
"I said leave!!" Carole repeated.
Though reculatant, the butler left him in the face of his rage. As for Carole, he closed his eyes and began to think what to do. Just a mere minute later an idea flashed in his retina.
"Hahahahahhs, this will surely make your life miserable" Carole grinned.
He quickly rushed to his laptop, turning it on. He did something that will make Myles's life very diffcult in game in the near future.
At the same time.
Everyone apart from those who had won the bidding were leaving the hall. As for Myles and the other bidders who had won, they remained seated while taking out a pouch full of 5500 universal coins.
He looked around him and saw that a beautiful girl wearing a dress which covered her entire body was walking towards him.
It didn't take a genius to guess who she was. She was probably his escort. He looked around him. As expected, escorts were also walking their way toward them.
She kept walking towards him, halting her steps only when she was less than a meter away from him.
"Guest Number 202, please follow me I will lead you to armor and sword" The girl said.
Myles nodded his head and got up without uttering a single word. He signaled the woman to lead him.
The woman didn't waste any time and started to walk towards a certain direction. Myles followed closely behind him.
Very soon Myles was led towards a long road after taking a lot of turns. What surprised him was that there were only two bidders who had won asides from him!! Hundreds of items had been bidded so there should be similar no. of bidders around him!!
"Where are the other bidders?" Myles asked the girls.
"All items with a starting bid of 4 digits are kept in a separate room. This is the reason behind the low numbers of bidders here" The woman replied.
Upon hearing this Myles nodded his head. Since it made a lot of sense to keep the valuable items separated from one another.
Nonetheless, Myles kept following the woman quietly for the next few minutes. They halted their steps when they were less than a meter away from a door.
The entrance was guarded by two imposing fighters.
"Your goods are inside here, hand me over the money. Afterwards, I will open the doors" The woman coldly said.
Without uttering a single word, Myles hands her the pouch full of gold coins towards her. She inspected the contents of the pouch.
After confirming the authenticity of the pouch, she signaled the guards to open the door.
"You may enter and take your items. I will wait for you outside" The woman exclaimed.
"Alright" Myles replied.
Myles entered the room without wasting even a second. Upon his arrival, he saw an imposing armor resting on the armor stand. A sword was also attached to the waist of the room.
He walked towards them and touched the armor and the sword at the same time. Notifications flashed in his retina at that time.

Side effects: None)
Myles was pleasantly surprised by the sword. Did the 5 percent boost that it provided to his sword aura!! Although, he hadn't acquired sword aura at the moment. He knew that it wouldn't be long before he acquired it! Especially considering that it was a basic skill that all swordsmen possess!
Although, it was a pity that the durability of the sword was very low. But he was already planning to overcome this issue.
"I will just get it repaired" Myles thought to himself.
He kept his old sword in his inventory and took the sword out from its sheath. He carefully inspected the sword from top to bottom.
The sword certainly had numerous cracks on its surface indicating that it was damaged.
Nonetheless he put the sheath on and attached his sword to his waist. He started to put the armor on a few seconds later. It didn't take long for him to put on the armor.
The armor was quite light, it didn't hindered his movement in the least.
"Let's put my robe and mask on" Myles mumbled.
He put his robe and mask on just a few seconds later. Currently, his armor wasn't visible in the least, it would certainly shock his opponents if they launched a devastating attack only to find out that it was blocked by his armor!!
Myles shook his head and got rid of such thoughts. Since he had much more important things to do.
"I need to get info about the devil's forest" Myles thought to himself.
He walked out of the room pondering how to gather information. Upon exiting, the door was tightly shut off.
"Have you confirmed that everything is authentic?" The woman asked.
"Yes," Myles replied with a slight nod.
All of a sudden an idea flashed in his mind that might just work!! He diverted his attention towards the woman
"Does your auction house sell information" Myles asked but he wasn't feeling too confident.
