“System? What the fuck is going on here?” Aamon couldn’t help but speak out.He was in total confusion about what was really going on. Aamon thought that he didn’t even sign up for whatever this comical scene to happen to him. However, it would seem that the system that had spoken to him even has a consciousness of its own that it was able to decipher what Aamon just meant.[SYSTEM HAS DETECTED THE SCION OF KWARTZ, PLEASE CONFIRM IDENTITY…]“Why do I even have to do that? I don’t want to verify anything!” Aamon refused, his voice was beginning to tinge with annoyance.However, much to his disappointment, the system only further aggravate Aamon’s anger when the system immediately shot back an answer.[REQUEST DENIED. PLEASE CONFIRM IDENTITY…]“I really don’t get why do I even have to verify myself?” Aamon continued to sound as though he was protesting.And yet, the more that he did so, all the more that the AI generated voice kept saying, [REQUEST DENIED. PLEASE CONFIRM IDENTITY…]Aam
“Where do I even start?” Aamon asked, wondering how could he even begin to earn this gold coin that the system had been requiring him. It was like a new surge of challenge awaits him because of this.[BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, HERE IS A BRIEF INTRODUCTION ABOUT THIS REALM…]The system then shifted the screen with an illustration of the new world that Aamon must conquer before the year ends.[THIS IS THE PARALLEL UNIVERSE OF PANGHAEA MAP. IT’S A SINGLE NATION WITH SEVEN TERRITORIES WHICH IS CALLED REGIONS. EACH OF THESE REGIONS HAVE A HIGH LORD THAT YOU MUST DEFEAT TO EARN A MASS OF GOLD COINS, YOUR OWN TERRITORY AND ACQUIRE GEARS OR EXCEL YOUR POWERS.]“That’s not my question! How the hell would I even begin to defeat these assholes if I don’t even have a single money to spend for cheap gun at the very least?”[GUNS AND ANY FORM OF EXPLOSIVES ARE NOT AVAILABLE IN THIS PARALLEL UNIVERSE. YOU COULD USE WEAPONS SUCH AS SWORDS, A BOW AND ARROW, SPEARS AND ALSO DAGGERS.]“What? Why aren’t guns
Aamon tried to recall when was the last time that he remembered utilizing this power.“With bruce’s gang,” he uttered as he finally recalled that point of time.It was indeed when Deshna came to aid him. He was at the verge of releasing that immense power. He never could haven imagined that he’d actually possess such strength and power. However, something bothered Aamon which also concerned what the system infomed him. As Aamon’s curiosity overwhelmed him, he was compelled to suddenly look into his watch, “I need to verify my status again.”He eventually open the virtual bio status page and looked over his status. [IDENTIFICATION: AAMON KWARTZ][BIO STATUS][CURRENT RANK LEVEL: NOVICE][STRENGTH LEVEL: 10%][MANA LEVEL : 10%][DAMAGE LEVEL: 10%][SKILL: 10%][INVENTORY: ][WEALTH: 0 GOLD COINS]He instantly wondered how it was not even indicated here that he has that kind of power. However, as Aamon looked into the sky, he came to a sudden thought perhaps t
Aamon couldn’t believe that Elsie was actually asking him for a duel. He was really not expecting to enter into a duel right away. Knowing that his rank was still a novice, Aamon was settled to improving his skill and getting himself a better weapon first.On top of that, he didn’t expect his reputation to be trampled by the fact that his first duel would be with a woman. At some point, Aamon kind of feared that he might actually end up getting defeated by Elsie.Such shame would befall on him had he been defeated by this game of drunkards.“Yes, that is if you’re not that cowardly enough to challenge me.” Elsie answered back.“It’s not that, I am not coward. I just don’t want to embarrass you in front of everyone here.” Aamon replied.“No, there’s no need to worry about that. I don’t mind getting defeated by you—” Elsie cockily answered, which was really an intentional insult to Aamon as she eventually added, “—that won’t ever happen.”Hearing that Elsie only end up provoking Aamon.
Aamon glared at him with an intent to rip his arms apart if he wouldn’t take his hands off of Elsie. “What’s your problem, boy?” asked the redhead man wearing a scrap armour, looking almost like a barbarian while sending back the same pissed vibe towards Aamon.It was clear from the way that man looked at Aamon that he, too, wasn’t going to let Aamon do as he wished of humiliating him in front of everyone.The man grinned at Aamon as he continuously stroked Elsie’s shoulder. It would seem that everyone was not even interested in stopping him as well. Aamon suddenly wondered if this man holds any kind of authority among the crowd which explains why it seemed like nobody was even stopping him.They all could see that he was evidently harassing Elsie and yet, nobody dared to be brave enough to call him out. It would appear that even though Aamon badly wanted to prevent engaging into any kind of duel, this realm seemed to look like a whole world of magnet that pulls him into one no ma
“Didn’t you hear me? I asked you where do you plan to take my daughter?” asked the voice again.It compelled Aamon to look at the source of the voice coming from behind. Although Elsie was heavy for him, he tried to turn the two of them to face her father.Aamon faced Elsie’s father. A man seemingly-looking like he’s about in his late fifties already. He has that muscular build and strong intimidating appearance simply after looking through his grey eyes.“Don’t make me repeat myself again. Where are you taking my daughter? If you won’t answer me, I will force it out from you.” said Elsie’s father.Aamon flinched and he immediately realized that he had been staring at Elsie’s father for so long. “I–I’m sorry, sir. I don’t plan to do anything harm against your daughter. I just can’t leave him alone in this state.”Elsie’s father drew in closer and it became visible for Aamon to see him better. He had that scar across his forehead, seemingly looking like a slash which made Aamon wonder
It left Aamon speechless for about a while. He couldn’t even bring up what he initially came here for. Facing Vicente this close somehow intimidated Aamon.He wanted to talk to him about his purpose, but for some reason, it felt as though his tongue won’t just move to speak up.“So, are you just going to stay quiet and stare at me forever?” Vicente eventually broke the silence that also caused Aamon to flinch.He came to senses and realized how much time he had actually wasted overthinking. “No, I–I, uh, well I—” he begin to stammer. At the back of his head, Aamon despised the fact that he was actually having the trouble to talk straight in front of Vicente.At the very least, he shouldn’t even show any sign of weakness in front of him. Aside from that, Aamon must fix the way he behave now. Even he wouldn’t want to encounter someone who kept stammering while at the middle of their conversation.He eventually cleared his thoughts and tried to absorb the fact that he was able to defeat
Aamon was caught between crossroads. He was reluctant to take the offer knowing that he would barely purchase anything with the ten gold coins, however, knowing the value that Vicente had told Aamon, it would appear that the price of the Falcona indeed depreciated upon its death.If there was something that Aamon realized as a lesson he would gained from here, it was the fact that trading should really be about profit and not just the value.“Alright, I really need the gold coins right now so I’ll take it.” Aamon eventually agreed.He had no choice, he couldn’t keep the Falcona with him and find another trader. For what he observed, it would seem that Vicente’s tavern was the only place that practice trading in town. Most of the brothels and other taverns here don’t indulge in such activities and the reason was unknown to Aamon.Vicente threw in a pouch of coins and Aamon immediately took it. He immediately secured the coins by quickly counting them and afterwards snuck it inside his
