About 500 meters from the starter dungeon is a village market. It's where hunters can buy and sell item drops.
I walked up to an older looking man and asked if he'd buy my mana crystals. The going price is about $500 per unit of energy. Goblin crystals coincidentally have about 1 unit of energy in them.
The man took my two crystals and threw them on a small silver dish connected to a machine by the cash register. Black letters on the blue screen read "2.1MU" he handed me $1000 bronze coins and asked for my hunters card.
"I don't have one yet, I was awakened today."
"Oh alright, it's not going to be problem with this quantity of mana but you should stop by the hunters association and get a card before diving back into the dungeon."
"You're right sir, thank you!"
With my 20 newly earned bronze coins I half skipped my way back to my apartment.
Right on the corner less than 50 meters from my home is a bakery. I decided to buy myself a cake to celebrate. When I finally got back, I ate the whole thing within a few hours.
With a full stomach and the added fatigued of fighting my first monster today I drifted off to sleep dreaming of my adventures to come.
The next morning I took the first train straight to the hunters association. As I watched the houses fly by out the window I opened up my status and saw that my HP had fully recovered overnight as well as the slash on my arm. I smiled and just stared at my status the whole trip.smiled and just stared at my status the whole trip.
[Status Open]
[Name: Logan reed]
Level:2
[HP: 9/12]
[MP:∞ ]
[Strength: 12]
[Defense:12]
[Agility:12]
[Trait:-]
[Skill:-]
The Awakened Center was vibrating with life, as long lines of people visiting shops could be seen, with even more carefully selling monster [Cores] to the authorities
Many people chose to first consume the [Cores] and get stronger themselves, but many more also sold them to the government and other markets as they went for high prices
[HP Core]s and [Strength Core]s went for around a $1000, while [mana] cores were almost double that price because of their demand
I moved my eyes to another section of the Center, which was dealing in the selling of Skill Books ranging from F to C. Obtaining a C ranked skill book was a dream for many people, as they were extremely rare and went for more than half a million dollars
Looking at the skill books that I greatly desired, I shook my head and moved towards the Registration Hall.
When I walked inside a middle aged women smile greeted me,The receptionist was very welcoming, asking for my name, date of birth, address, and other information.
As soon as she had everything down "Alright, thank you for coming in today. Please wait 5 minutes for me."
"Okay."
She went into a back room for a few minutes. I waited patiently. The woman came back out with that same blinding white smile on her face and gave me a small card.
It looked just like a driver's license. It had my name, my picture, the association's logo, and a large letter "F" on the top right side of the card.
There is a class system for hunters. Once you're awakened you are automatically given the "F Class" . It's the most basic hunters ID you can acquire. I looked at it bright eyed.
"Thank you very much!"
"My pleasure, have a nice day sir. You're welcome to come back anytime."
As I walk out i grabbed a pamphlet that explains hunter ranks, the pamphlet goes into detail like to be considered a E Rank one would need at least three E Rank skills and so on .
My next course of action after getting my license was the nearest beginner dungeon in this city, [greens Paradise]
But there's no problem taking things slow. I pull out my phone and look at the remaining balance in my bank account $200,867, Enough money for rent and food for a few months,after checking I convinced myself to buy the F ranked skill book, [Fireball], for $100,000. After this, most of my inheritance money was now gone.
My goal today was to enter [green Paradise]... and alone at that. My heart was pounding at this crazy idea. When the thought was forming in my head, I had to ask myself multiple times if I had gone insane but I have to do this in order to fully asses the mana attributes in my status I steeled my resolve and heading towards [green Paradise]
