As soon as Morales entered inside the open market with his roommates, he felt that he just entered a brand-new fantasy world that was filled with wonders for his eyes to feast on.
As he expected, inside the market was far more outstanding than outside.
Before they were allowed in, they first had to register themselves with 10 Beiger dollars each. After the registration, they were given a passage card and an omnidirectional map.
Through the map, they got the overall size, layout, and design of the market.
The market was smaller than Morales speculated. It was 5 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, it was big but not too big compared to what Morales has seen before now.
Most cities on planet Beiger don’t have physical markets, all buying and selling are virtual. But if a city has one, the size is easily 10 times this one.
The market’s layout is designed and divided into 15 columns and 10 rows, making it fairly complicated to maneuver t
“Having a rich friend is really the best thing ever! Morales, you’re the best!” Dave gushed happily as he caressed his spear over and over again. “How many times will you say that? It’s getting boring”. Chloe rolled her eyes as she walked down the alley carefreely with her 4 roommates. “I’ll say it for as much as I want. You promised me a gift also but in the end, only Morales paid for everything, so I can praise him for as long as I want. If you want praises too, get one for me”. “No, thanks. I don’t need your praise”. Morales and Rose burst out laughing, amused by their 2 bickering roommates. &n
Among the 6 people who remained on this battlefield, Morales was the most injured followed by the black-haired mage. They both already lost more than half their total health. Blood dripped down Morales’s abdomen and chest. He was in pain but he did not dare remove his gaze from his opponents. From the short clash, he already deduced that the mechanic was the strongest followed by the pugilist before the mage. Removing power, the mage was the trickiest, making the situation more complicated. Both Chloe and Dave had anxious expressions on their faces, the abrupt ambush clearly left them feeling flustered and shocked. Morales took a deep breath and nudged at them with his body. “When the battle restarts, Chloe, I want you to take on the mage. Dave, take on
“Is he gone?” Chloe asked uneasily, her expression still an epitome of fear. “Don’t worry, he is gone. Just rest for now and chill, for me I’m absolutely tired”. Ignoring how indecent it looked, Morales threw his storm sword back into his storage ring before plopping down on the floor like a deflated balloon. “Oh, ok, if you say so”. Still, in a trepidatious tone, Chloe stuttered before also sitting down on the floor to rest. At such a moment, she did not care about her dignity as a girl at all. Her beautiful clothes meant fart to her when she just passed through a life-or-death situation, they were hers in the first place. “Dave, aren’t you tired? Rest and think later”. Raising his head with a strained expression on his face, Morales spoke to his roommate who was still pacing around anxiously. “Ok”. Dave simply answered before falling to the floor even more indecently than the previous 2, with his hands quivering. Saying that he and C
“Alexander, what brought you here?” Headmaster Cinnabar had a pleased expression on his face as he looked down at his best student fondly.Alexander was undoubtedly the most talented dojo instructor in the whole Border town dojo, the headmaster was even sure that the young lad had the potential to surpass him in the future.Perhaps, to other superiors, this would have made them wary and suppress the still budding prodigy, or some may even go as far as plotting to kill him. But to him, none of these mattered.In a normal sense, it was not normal for such a talented Pugilist to still stay here in such a backward town. The truth was that instructor Alexander and the headmaster had a relationship that was closer than what was made known to the public.The headmaster was born and bred in the Border town, so it was normal that he remained loyal to it but instructor Alexander was not.What brought him to the town was a fateful encounter betwee
The group of 4 roommates had to walk a significant distance away from the town before they finally saw the perimeter of the forbidden forest, it was an admirable yet intimidating sight. The forbidden forest is the biggest in Beiger, and it didn’t just cover a single region. The tentacles of the dreaded forest extended across the whole Beiger planet, making it the most dangerous place on the planet. The forest that Morales passed through after escaping from the mining base was just a small extension of the forbidden forest, but that one alone was filled with dangerous beasts. The part of the forbidden forest that bordered the Border town was just the periphery region. According to legends, only powerful Grade C experts could reach the depths of the forest and survive it. The horrors hidden in the forbidden forest were not something that commoners or mere supers could endure, only the real experts could survive them. After getting to the territo
“Morales, what’s happening?” Dave was freaking out more and was already on the verge of losing it when he saw the unusual grave expression on Morales’s face, he was already hating today.Morales grabbed him roughly on the shoulders, shook him before answering. “We are in danger, Dave”.“Listen to me, panicking will not do anything. Right now, I want you to go out there and bring both Rose and Chloe here immediately. They are a few dozen meters away from us, it’s not far”.“I want to think about some things now, so I can’t go with you. But I want you to be fast. You can do this, right?”“Y…, yes, I think so”.“Good! Go, go!”Falling down and scrambling up again, a confused and terrified Dave ran away in the direction that Morales pointed at for him. He had a lot of questions but he was too terrified to ask them.As soon as Dave disapp
Border town was burning! The whole town underestimated the danger, they were too confident in the statistics and trends that they already observed for the past few years. They forgot the most vital fact that change was ever-present. Change was not showing now did not mean that it was not there, it was just hiding. The day that you let your guard down, it would sneak up on you and attack like a legendary assassin. Instructor Alexander already received specific orders from his master as soon as the battle began, the only problem was that he found it hard to obey such orders. He felt terribly guilty. In a sense, everything that was happening currently was indirectly caused by him. After he punished Morales and his friends to take a beast cleaning sweep at the periphery zone of the forbidden forest, he forgot about the message that he received a few days ago. Hoping that the group of 4 mischievous roommates would surprise him and unravel t
Of headmaster Cinnabar’s twelve personal students, only 5 stayed behind with him. Despite the others' willingness to stay and die with him, he forced them to leave under Alexander’s leadership. Necromancers! He’s never seen one with his eyes, but he sure as hell had heard terrifying stories about them. His late Master always told him tales of his encounters and battles with the evil magicians. He’s heard about how they can massacre a whole town just to train their magic, about how they can kill hundreds of unborn children and their mothers just to refine their control of dark arcane magic. He’s heard about how powerful they are compared to regular mages. He’s heard of their ruthlessness; he’s heard of their viciousness. His only regret despite knowing all these was not encountering them once. Now, after he already passed his twilight years, the opportunity to duel with a real necromancer finally presented itself before him. He could he
