Back at the town, Alex was in a very good mood cause on this following days, more and more adventurers have come to his shop to purchase some supplies. Right now, he have a total of ten endure potion, 5 mana potion, 4 fenix powder and 2 town portal on display. For store points, he currently have 0SP since every time he cash-in, he would restock items. For the silvers however, Alex currently has a wooping 2500 Silvers, almost 3 gold worth.
For normal consumption, that kind of money can be uses by a household of 3 for years. With this wealth, he should be able to hire some guards for his store so that he would be able to sell the skillbook. "Sigh! Where should I go and find some body guards? Should I go and try my luck at the market?" As Alex contemplating, his store door opens and saw an adventurer in ragged armor and worn out weapon.
"Welcome to my humble store! How can I help you adventurer?" Alex greeted. The adventurer remove it's helmet and and confirmes that the adventurer is a man. Not only a man but a youngster that should not be older than 17 years old. The youngman walk towards the counter. With hesitation he asked "Shopkeep, beside with the items in display, do you also sell Skill books?" Alex smile twitched "I believe there are some skill book being sold at the market, why not try your luck there?" He advised. The young man shake his head "They won't sell it to me unless I join their sponsored party or be employed as a guard at their shop." The young man explained.
Alex thought for a moment and while thinking, he size up the young man. After thinking for some time Alex speak "while I do have an available skill book in my store, I'm not sure if you can afford it." The young man put a pouch full of silvers on the counter "I have a total of 1800 silvers. This is all of my savings. Please sell it to me!" Determination can be seen on the eyes of the young man in which Alex can't help but asked "Why do need a skill book so badly?" The young man but his lips and clench his fist and just said one word "Revenge!"
Alex was shocked on the young man's response. "I can sell you the skill book but on one condition." The young man frown "No worries, it's very easy, after I sold you the skill book, you just need to sign a document." Alex explained "what document?" The young man ask. Alex smile and went to the backroom, open his online store and cash-in 1000 silvers making his SP from zero to 2500SP. Then he redeem the skill book Rumbling Thrust and read through the manual. As he read it, his dace frown and as keep on reading it, his frown deepen. After finish reading it, he redeem two Fenix powder and five endure potion. He also retrieve a document for the young man to sign.
After an hour or so of waiting, the young man is beginning to get nervous and contemplating his life choices. Suddenly, the backdoor open and he saw Alex with the skill book and some other items. "I'm sorry for the wait! Here's the skill book that I sell. Just a reminder, this skill, doesn't require mana or spirit qi. It requires life force. Hence with this skill book, I include this 5 endure potion and this 2 Fenix powder. For the Fenix powder, as this skill has a lightning attribute, you may be paralyzed if you encounter a backlash while praticing this skill. All in all, this set is for 1,640 Silvers" Alex said.
The young man was shocked, not only with the condition on how to practice the skill but also the price. "It was too cheap!" The young man said to himself "As for the document, it is the regular non-disclosure agreement." Alex explain further. The young man nodded and signed the agreement and took a few coins from the pouch. Alex counted the coins in the pouch and check on the document and nodded in satisfaction. "Alright, these items are yours now and I wish you good luck on your goal!" Alex bowed as the young man nodded and went out.
"Phew! That was nerve-wracking! But then again, after reading through the Skill book, maybe it's fate that the young man purchase that book." Alex can't help but sigh as fate really plays on people. Base on the records on the skill book, the skill was actually created to avenge the creator's family. Due to the oppression of the Kingdom and the ongoing war at that time, his family was kidnapped by one of the nobles and pushed him to fight in the frontlines. As a veteran Rank B adventurer, he was able to survive the war and when he got home, he saw a horrible scene. His pregnant wife was violated and murdered, while his son was full of bruises and was hanged on the ceiling. The adventurer was full of hatred hence to avenge his wife, he created this skill and after perfecting it for 20 years, he went back to the noble's house and with just one thrust, he annihilated the whole manor as well as the people in it. After that he disappears and no one can find that adventurer hence he was on the most wanted list for a good few years now.
After this transaction, he still have 1000SP remaining and with the 1,640 Silvers, his total wealth now is 3,140 or equivalent to 3 gold. "With this wealth, I really need to get a body guard anytime soon and so that I can sell items freely in case my online store suddenly provided a item for me to sell."
As he was thinking about it, the door of his store open and Alex greeted them "Welcome to my humble shop adventurers! How can I help?"
