Vincent Antonio von Terrion is his name, and he is a man reincarnated into a fantasy world. What kind of fantasy world? It is a world where gods, monsters, and other races exist.
Vincent was born into a royal family, and he is the third child of the king. That might sound great, but it is not. It is not when you awaken a 'weak' power.
At the moment, he is in front of a statue of a goddess to awaken his power, something that all children of royalty need to do. The power they awaken will be called blessing, and blessing is divided into seven stages: F – E – D – C – B – A – S.
F-rank is something useless, like the ability to make your shit smell like roses. E-rank is not far off, and when you get power from that rank, you are considered useless, at least to his family.
So when they see his power in front of the statue, his father looks at him in disappointment.
[Multiverse Merchant] [E]
"I am sorry, Your Highness. Your son awakened the E-rank blessing."
The pope says to his father with a hidden sneer that is directed at Vincent. As for the king, he looks at Vincent and says.
"He is no longer my son. He is now Baron Vincent Yaris, the Baron of Juras Barony. He is now a new baron."
Vincent releases a tired sigh because he knows it is a declaration of his being kicked out of the royal family. However, while he is tired, he is not angry but rather happy. The reason? He hates royal politics. Even his siblings see each other as political opponents instead of family. He doesn't want that kind of family.
The second reason is that he knows the truth. The truth of his power is what he sees in front of him, and it is not the same as the one the pope says.
[Multiverse Merchant] [EX]
What they see is only the first letter, and they cannot see the 'X' behind the 'E.'
The pope nods his head and casts a spell to absorb the light in front of the statue to create a small metal with his power and its description on it.
"Here you go, my lord. May your new territory prosper."
Vincent wants to sneer at his word because he knows how bad the Juras Barony is. It is a barren place where no plant can grow. Not only that, there are no people in that territory because there are a lot of monsters roaming around the territory.
With no people and a lack of food to feed himself, he knows that this is a way for his father to kill him.
"Thank you, Your Holiness."
He gets up and looks at his father.
"Your Highness, may I know when I will depart to my new territory?"
"Tonight. I shall grant you three hundred gold coins so you can start your new territory."
Three hundred golds is a lot in this world, but not that much. One gold is equal to one hundred silver coins, and one silver coin is one hundred copper coins. A bread loaf is about three copper coins. If he only eats bread, he can survive for years. However, that amount of money is not enough for him to start a new territory from scratch.
Sadly, all Vincent can do is smile and bow.
"Thank you for your generosity, Your Highness."
"Good. You shall return to your room and prepare to depart."
He can only nod and follow the servants, who he can hear talking about how unfortunate his situation is. He ignores them all the way to the palace, and when he arrives inside his room, he throws his body on the bed. He takes out the metal given by the pope and reads his new power.

{As a Multiverse Merchant, you can jump from between worlds to sell or buy goods. You can visit a brand-new world by doing a blind jump, or you can jump to any world you have once seen or read.}
{As a Multiverse Merchant, your eyes are special. You can access the value of anything, be it life or even power. Nothing can hide from your eyes.}
{As a Multiverse Merchant, you can create a symbol of power on paper and give it to your customers so they can summon you from their world.}
{As a Multiverse Merchant, you have a pocket dimension you can use to store all your goods and hold a meeting when someone uses your symbol of power.}
{As a Multiverse Merchant, you can establish a contract between you and anyone. The contract will be established as long as they agree with your offer. If they break the contract, they will die, and their essence becomes yours alongside what is in the deal. However, this part also works against you. Beware.}
He widens his eyes when he sees the description of his new power. He can exploit this power to gain ultimate power. The last one will grant him a massive amount of power if he uses it correctly.
He already thinks of a few ways to exploit this power. With a hum, he decides to go to town and search for a mercenary. The sketchiest mercenary group I can find.
== Line Break ==
Gerrald, the leader of the Grey Wolf mercenary group, looks at the money in his hand with a grin on his face. He already knows the news of the king 'granting' his third child a Juras Barony. That is a royal way of telling their child that they are useless and want them dead.
And that child walked toward him and his group, asking them to follow him to his territory. Will he do that? No. He will run with the money and leave the capital. Entering that place is not something he wants. Not only is it too far away, but it is also a miserable place.
They will get the money and not the work.
"Do we have the deal? You come with me and can leave after a week after reaching my territory. However, if you decide to break the deal, you and your people shall receive punishment, and my gold will return to me plus the interest of ten times the amount I give you. What do you think? Do we have a deal?"
Gerrald grins and shakes Vincent's hand.
"We have a deal."
In his mind, Gerrald is getting a payday without doing any work, but he doesn't know Vincent is the one getting the payday without any work.
"Good. We will depart when the sun goes down. Gather at the southern gate before the sun goes down, or the deal is off, and you shall receive a punishment."
Gerrald's grins get bigger, and he says.
"I understand."
