" Seriously Black rchant, how do you make this place? " Donovan wonders around, seeing everything he could see around Black rchant's residence.
He sees so many weapons that the System can't even scan them, as if it can't compromise how powerful the rchant's weapons are.
" If it were not because of the barrier here... " Donovan sighs, as he tries to touch the weapons but instead he touches an invisible barrier.
< Unknown Invisible Barrier: [?????????????/?????????????] >
< Perhaps this is the reason the Weapons' status is concealed, the scanners can extract anything unless the barrier is penetrated. >
< System scans a high use of Magic or... >
< or... >
< or... >
" If you're lagging now then stop it, stop scanning. " Donovan tells it.
" Since I'm on an uncharted area for now, an area I believe is not within Elysium Haven or within the Westerios Continent itself. "
" And, the last thing I wanted to happen is you, System, lagging in front of , making things difficult for if you didn't at least notify of everything. "
< System understand User's concern. >
< System will maintain availability from now on. >
< But the thing is, aside from scanning these weapons, there are so areas around here that the System Scans happened to take notice of. >
< A living being, not sure if it's a monster or not, but the scans implied that it is near. > System says it, showing it on the Map how much further Donovan should go.
" Black rchant stored many things, didn't he? " Donovan asks, following his destination out of curiosity, he follows the directions, looking around more of the places as the System maps it for him, seeing more of the items, the goods, the Black rchant had in his place, a place that validates him of the Great Kind of rchant he is.
" He said to tell him anything that I'm interested in, but the problem is, all of them are goodly intriguing. "
" Besides that, the barrier disallows the System to not even catch the Items' na, so how could I tell which one I'm interested in if I can't say or identify its very na, nas are essential in the weaponry business! "
" It's not just a re identification, in the Equipedia Website, the na of a weapon is always the custors' catch of first impression of what the weapon or item on how much is it priced, or what it's capable of! That's just how it works! " Donovan rants while slowly reaching his destination, his target the System scanned, a living creature behind a large door made out of a gray silver-ish kind of tal, a tal Donovan and the System couldn't scan or get what it is made of.
< Likewise, the scans can't extract any info even from this particular object. >
< Whatever it's made of, Black rchant must've made it from sothing outside other's reach. >
< This is the System's answers so far, so much for being 'Copy'* >
" Ah yes, you're a 'Copy'... " Donovan rembers.
" Speaking of Copy, about my Passive... "
" Do you happen to perhaps track or identify how the mory even cos to ? " Donovan asked but the System replied with a simple 'Nope'.
" Figures... "
" Guess the past is blurry as ever... " Donovan decides to brush it off, opening the door that leads him into a room, a room that looks like..., a lab.
< Location Unlocked >
< Black rchant's Place, Hidden Lab Section. >
< Target Found >
" Hmm... " Donovan approaches, witnessing a tube, within it, a gray-masked person, with his long silverish-like hair, is in stasis, placed there for recovery or sothing Donovan doesn't know why.
< Scanning >
" If he's like this, then he must've been recovering from a great battle. "
" Large tube, filled with liquids and a breathing hose connected to his mouth... "
" Hmph, this guy must've gone to war or such, no thought ca to mind after seeing this, it must be... " Donovan says this but suddenly stops.
" A lot of certainty there? " Donovan suddenly wonders to himself, he acts like he snapped out, suddenly looking at the person inside the tube again.
" Wait, how do I co to the idea that he's after war...? " Donovan imdiately wonders.
" I just t this guy and saw him for the first ti. "
" Why did I just think that I say things like I..., wait- "
" Why I'm here? I know I ca before because the System showed about his existence, but... " Donovan stops.
" No, this isn't ..., if it were , I'd instead travel this place through the shadows to sneak at the existing person first rather than eting them first hand. "
" Especially when I'm not in the academy, I always do that per my 'Draven' persona these tis. " Donovan says that, but suddenly.
< The Tube has been opened >
< The New Subject's Progress Inside the Tube has been finished. >
< dd:hh:mm:ss >
< 00:00:00:00 >
"( Four Ti Segnts?)" Donovan sees it, for the four pairs of the ti digits shown an the process the guy undertook has been done from days past.
"( Never knew System could identify the ti thus far, System usually and only defies ti by showing the hours tops. )"
"( But still... )" Donovan sees the person coming out, the masked guy, even when he woke up, he still wears his gray-silver mask.
* The person sees Donovan, tilting his head a bit. *
Donovan looks at him, within his very mind, it already told him to draw his weapon, but sohow, as the guy ca out, Donovan's very instincts drove him not to.
"( If sothing happens, I should've equipped and swung its blade just to be sure, but- )" Donovan's skin began to shiver.
"( Why do I felt that if I do it... )"
"( Sothing bad is gonna happen to ? )" Donovan says this as he frowns, trying to maintain himself while the guy still stands in front of him, silent, but Donovan with his very instinct told himself that behind the mask, the guy's must've been preparing himself to strike.

< [Options]: >
< In this scenario, the User will be given two options, this is crucial since this would likely determine the User's fate and once it is made, the User can't back out, even if the User can. >
< Options: >
< 1) Attack and Survive. >
< 2) Wait and See. >
...
" Ah... " Donovan sees this, as things are paused during the 'Options'.
" 'Wait and See'? "
" Are you sure about that? "
" I know that I felt afraid, but at least the first option is worth trying than just letting myself at this guy's rcy. "
" A good option yes indeed, but what if he ca to with bad intentions while I'll 'Wait and See'? " Donovan asks himself, imdiately decides the First One.
< Option Chosed (!) >
Donovan imdiately equips his blade and...
Just expected...
* Thud!!! *
As Donovan equips, the masked guys imdiately plunge and hit Donovan into the nearby wall, giving him a great punch Donovan survives if it were not for his armor.
* BAM!!! *
" Ooophh! "
