Chatter! Chatter!
The mont I teleported back to the dungeon entrance, I heard many people chattering to themselves. The area was lively as many hunters were coming out from dungeons and leaving the area.
Bright moon and countless stars were shining in the sky illuminating the dark sky. I ignored other people as I walked out of the dungeon. Before exiting, I heard soone whispering to themselves.
"Hey! Isn't that the boy that went inside alone?" (Random Hunter A)
"Oh yes. He survived in the dungeon." (Random Hunter B)
"He is just lucky." (Random Hunter A)
"Lucky? Don't say so cringy stuff like so villain in the novel will say. I guess, he has so ability in him." (Random Hunter A)
"Wel... Yea. I guess." (Random Hunter B)
They were the sa group who made fun of going alone in the dungeon. Technically, they didn't make fun of and only whispered to themselves. But I heard it clearly, so were they straightly saying?
Who knows. I left the dungeon and called the taxi and hoped inside it.
"Destination. Hunter Association." I quickly said that as I wanted to sell the items quickly and earn so cash.
"Oh, yeah. I should also co here tomorrow." I murmured to myself and sat relaxingly on the seat.
After so minutes, I reached the building. I paid the cash and exited the taxi. I imdiately rushed inside the building, ignoring every people. I reached the receptionist's desk, heavily breathing.
"Ha! Ha! Can I... get so... wa.te.r?" I asked the receptionist still breathing heavily.
"Ok... Please wait, sir." She said with a dazzling smile on her face and imdiately entered a room that had a 'staff room' sign on it. She returned after so minutes with a jar full of water.
She gently handed the jar to and I timidly accepted the jar. I quickly drank the water and returned the jar to her.
"Whew! Thanks for that." I said while wiping my mouth.
The receptionist nodded while smiling.
"Oh yes. I want to sell these items." I put my backpack on the desk and showed her the items and cores I gathered. The back I had was a magical item or sothing that got enhanced in the apocalypse and can hold many items on it.
I also don't know how much it can store as I have never tried it. Anyway, I looked at the receptionist's face. She was still smiling but her eyes were wide. Her face looked a little complex but she imdiately gave a huge smile and called soone from her watch.
"Ok, sir. I would have to check these items and cores. So, please wait a mont.
"Ok."
With that, she took the backpack inside another room which didn't have any sign. I waited and looked around the building, still being amazed by the stuff and items.
After waiting for a whole hour, the receptionist finally returned.
"Sorry for the wait." She cheerfully said that while holding a card in her hand.
"Oh, ok." I indifferently replied while staring at the card.
Realizing my gaze, she timidly raised the card and spoke. "We can give you a total of 100 thousand dollars for all of your stuff."
"Really?" My eyes widen as I heard that. Thousands of dollars were huge money for . And with so research, I knew that the all items I had would cost so thousands of dollars.
But 100 thousand dollars, I totally didn't expect that. A huge grin ford on my face as I took my card out.
"It... I an, yeah. I accept the money." My voice shook a little but I managed to keep myself calm. 'No need to be shocked. In the future, I will get more money. So, I need to keep my cook.'
While I was thinking and using most of my energy to be calm and cool, the receptionist took the card out of my hand and scanned against her.
So seconds later, the receptionist returned my card with a bright smile on her face. I also gave her a cheerful smile while taking the card.
The mont I took the card, I ran to the bathroom, locked the door, and took a deep breath.
"WAAAAHHHH!!!!"
A huge shout leaked out of my mouth. Getting this much money made soo happy, that I can't describe it in words.
I left the bathroom after calming myself and decided to buy a suitable weapon and skill to protect myself.
"Hmm... The Lowest Grade Item will cost from 10 to 20 thousand dollars, E rank skill will cost at least 20 to 25 thousand dollars and an enchanted weapon would probably cost around 40 to 50 thousand dollars. With the amount of money I have, I guess buying so skills and one weapon will be enough for now."
After murmuring, I finally walked to the skill shop but stopped before entering. I took a deep breath, steeled my resolve, and take the step inside the shop.
Shelves filled with glistering books, shiny scrolls, and much more stuff. These were the first thing I saw when I entered the shop.
I looked around with my shiny eyes filled with excitent. As I looked around, I saw various things with a small desk where a young woman was sitting.
I walked toward her with my brimming smile. The young woman was reading a small book, looked at with her drowsy eye.
"Hello... mam?" I called her in a polite voice.
The woman ignored and continued reading her book.
"What do you want?" She asked while putting her face in the book.
I smiled and speak. "I want E-rank skill books."
"Left shelf, E-rank section. Go and find any skill you want and co here." She said indifferently.
"OK!" I imdiately replied and sprinted toward the shelf. I quickly found it and looked at the book and its description.
[Sword Basic: Teach all basics of the sword.
Energy Required: 10

"Hmm..." I skipped that book as I have no interest in swords. I skipped through many other books and finally found two books that were suitable for .
[Enchantnt: Encahnes every stats of the caster.

[Energy Armor: Covers the caster body with energy.

"Ok. These two skills are suitable."
With that, I returned to the woman and put the skill book on the table.
"How much?"
"10,000... 15... 25,000$"
"Oh, ok."
I swiped my card over to the machine that was on the table.
[Deducted 25,000$ from the card.]
The ssage showed and I left the shop after absorbing the skills.
[New skills learned. Your summon has also learned your skills.]
"Ok."
I ignored the ssage and rushed to the weapon shop. The mont I entered, a tallic sll touched my nose. Shiny and sharp weapons filled the shelves. I was amazed by the quantity of the swords and shields with more weapons.
Unlike the previous shop, an old man walked toward .
"What do you want, sir?" He asked in a polite manner.
"Ah... I want a suitable weapon for ." I also replied to him in a polite manner.
"Please look around the shop." He pointed at the shelves.
I nod and walked toward the shelves, mainly the middle-grade section. My eyes lit with excitent, my body brimd with energy and I stare at the weapon with my deadly stare.
I skipped through many weapons and finally picked up a staff.
[Magician Staff: A Staff made for beginner Magicians.]
No mana is required in use.
Rank: D
Effects: Increase Energy Capacity and Enhance Skill Power.]
I grabbed the staff and imdiately bought it. The old man smiled at as I left the store by spending 45,000$ on the staff.
My money thinned the more I entered the shop. I bought so low-grade rings to increase my energy storage.
And after shopping, I checked my balance.
[10,000$]
I spend 90% of my money in just so hours.
"Haaa. I spent quite a lot of money but it was worth it." I try to make myself feel better. Alas, I need to be more careful in the future.
With that, I left the building and returned ho. I bought so food for myself on the way.
"Ho Sweet Ho."
There is nothing better than returning house after a day full of work. But there was no one to greet nor welco . So, it was a little lonely.
My small beat-up room, cracks on the wall, and the small space for myself. It is the thing that I got used to it. SO, today I will spend my night here before abandoning this place.
I ate my food and lay on the small hard bed. I crawled on the bed and closed my eyes. The exhaustion caught off to and I quickly fell asleep.
..............
Next day, I woke up early and packed my things up in my backpack. I exited the building and bowed to it.
"Thanks for letting live here."
The gratitude was not for the person nor any living beings. It was for the house, the house which I spend alone, the house which I got used to, the cold, lonely and small house.
Tears fell from my eyes as I was reluctant to leave. But I comfort myself and wiped my tears. This place holds many good and bad mories. But I need to move on, so leaving this place is my first space.
"One day, when I will be powerful and rich. I will return to this place to my very own house." I declare to the building and left the area.
