33. My Way (5)
After leaving the dungeon, I grabbed a taxi.
By doing this, I was able to level up, but I was not able to obtain the weapon I wanted.
And the B rank stones, even though I was investing time, I was not able to take them back since I couldn’t clear the dungeon.
It cannot go on like this.
“Thank you. Take care.”
The place I arrived at was the Awakened market near the level 18 hunting grounds.
After leaving the taxi, I went to the biggest market there.
It was because I was buying a high cla.s.s item.
In the store, there were many customers present.
While I was wandering aimlessly, a 20 year old female store employee came towards me.
The average male would not want any employee to come and help them.
I felt like there was no point in coming to the large market.
The employee was someone who spoke business like.
“Welcome.”
“Yes. h.e.l.lo.”
“Is there something you are looking for?”
“Trying to purchase a Necromancer skill book.”
Yes. High ranking magic attacks have anti healing properties, like a rice cake painting.
It was something that I couldn’t even dream about with the money I had.
That’s why I was planning to buy the cheaper alternative, a debuff skill.
It had the same effect, but no one but the Necromancer could use it, since there would be a 10 times the mana cost penalty.
“Necromancer skill book. Please come this way?”
Following the guidance of the employee, we headed towards the corner of the store.
Unlike the small markets near home, there were many guards looking over the place.
Each armed to the teeth, that is.
The inside of the market was divided like a bookstore, and none of the actual items were on display, as only pictures of them were hung up.
Even the half A rank weapon I used was hung up as picture in a corner.
“This is where the necro skill books are, but what are you looking for specifically?”
“‘Lower Resist’ and “Un-Recoverable’ please.”
“Understood. Lower Resist is over here, and you said Un-Recoverable?”
She turned towards me to confirm.
“Yes.”
“But why are you saying it in such a difficult terminology. You can just call it anti healing skill. That’s what everyone calls it. It’s not like there is another ‘anti healing’ magic found in any other schools of magic.”
“Ah….. I just memorized it the way the encyclopedia had it written…”
“Guess it hasn’t been long since you became an Awakened.”
“Yes.”
The employee smirked and spoke.
After picking up the two skill books, she continued.
“Did you need anything else?”
“Healer cla.s.s attack power buff skill book as well.”
“Yes. Understood.”
As soon as I finished talking, two guards by the wall headed towards me and the employee.
‘Oh? What the.’
Without thinking, strength went into both my arms.
Looking at my eyes that went wide, she plastered on a fake smile and spoke.
“Out of all the items at our store, the skill books are considered one of the most prized possessions. That’s why there are guards that come along when we bring them out. Sorry if it surprised you.”
“Ah… Yes…..”
I guess it made sense since the Necromancer debuff skill book alone was $60,000
