Chapter 84 - Panagea(1)
Chapter 84: Panagea(1)
Aakesh reappeared in the town of Wolfden at the exact place he had logged out. The next moment, Lily appeared. He had asked the system to spawn her with him; otherwise, she would\'ve spawned in another town.
He appeared in the jungle where he last talked with the chief of guards of Wolfden. Currently, only he and Lily were present there.
"Where are we?" Lily asked as she curiously looked at her surroundings.
"We\'re in Panagea!" He responded as he lightly flicked her head, making her annoyed. But the next moment, a smile spread across her face after what Aakesh said next, "You can live however you want in the jungle."
"Really!" Lily excitedly asked as an open jungle was the best place for a predator like her.
"Yes! You can stay here as long as you want," He smilingly said. She got ready to leave when he stopped her and explained, "You\'re only a normal beast, so do anything keeping that in mind, and you can\'t leave this jungle without my permission at any cost."
"And you aren\'t allowed to create beast hordes to attack towns," He added.
"Okay!" She nodded and left him right away.
Aakesh then turned around and returned to the market. "Hey, system, if I buy anything here, can I also take it to reality?" He asked the system as he saw people buying and selling products in the market.
[Yes, Host.]
"Hey, system, should I start selling pills here?" He asked another question as he needed money to buy things, and currently, he had nothing in his hand. Earning money wasn\'t a big deal for him as he could create weapons, pills, or potions himself and sell them, but it was too much of a hassle.
[No, Host. If you want to earn money, you need to use your strengths. I won\'t help you in Panagea.]
The system responded in its mechanical and emotionless voice. "Okay!" Aakesh commented with a sigh as he had to work hard if he wanted to buy skills. His eyes then fell upon a weapon shop not far from him. He decided first to check out the store and the level of weapons it sells.
"Hello, adventurer, what do you want to buy?" The manager of the store, who was relaxing, stood up and rushed forward, seeing Aakesh entering his store. It was only yesterday that he had saved the town of Wolfden, so he didn\'t want to offend the savior of the town by talking while sitting on his chair.
"I\'m just here to see the weapons," Aakesh expressionlessly responded as he had no money on his hands.
The manager of the store nodded and started showing him the weapons around the store himself.
In Panagea, the weapon wasn\'t divided into the same category as the real world since in Panagea, people having powers varying between the three dimensions lived on the same land.
The weapons, pills, potions, or any kind of treasure were divided into several levels:
(I) Level(1-10) were called Inferior,
(II) Level(10-25) were called Ordinary,
(III) Level(25-50) were called Rare,
(IV) Level(50-100) were called Epic,
(V) Level (100-250) was called Legendary,
(VI) Level(250-500) were called Mythical,
(VII) Level(500-1000) were called Divine,
(VIII) Level(1000+) was called Chaos.
There were similar names for some level of treasures in the Primal dimension, but the power they held in Panagea was like comparing an ant with the power of countless elephants. The level here signified the level of the user.
Only ten beings since the birth of Panagea had crossed the 1000th mark. They were known as the ten Emperors, so there were only ten chaos weapons in existence, and the inheritor of the Emperors would also gain Chaos weapons. Whether they can take it to reality or not was up to their capability.
In the store, the highest level of weapon Aakesh saw was the ordinary grade. None of them interested him as he could clearly see that many of them could reach rare grades, yet here they were lying as ordinary.
While thinking like this Aakesh suddenly thought of a way to earn money. He pointed at a blade, and the manager of the store respectfully handed it to him.
It was a short, thick, and jagged blade made up of wolfsteel, and its grip was wrapped in lavish silver wolf hide.
"How much for this blade?" He then asked the manager.
"Adventurer, are you sure you want to know the price? You\'re only a Level 1 warrior, and this blade can only be used by people above Level 10," The manager asked, as he himself was a Level 5 warrior and could see Aakesh\'s Level clearly. He didn\'t want to offend him, so he added, "But since you want to know, I would tell you. It costs 500 low soul stones."
"What\'s the average cost of a rare-grade weapon?" Aakesh expressionlessly asked another question.
The manager had no idea what Aakesh wanted, but he still truthfully answered, "50,000 to one million low soul stones."
Aakesh nodded and asked another question, "Pay me 100,000, and I would make this blade a rare-grade blade."
A look of shock and anger appeared on the manager\'s face. He controlled his anger and responded with gritted teeth, "Adventurer, I\'m grateful that you saved our town, but you can\'t joke around like this."
"Why would I joke with you? Pay me, and I would make this weapon a rare grade," Aakesh expressionlessly responded, ignoring the manager\'s reactions.
"Fine, I\'ll give you a chance, but if you failed, I would complain about you to the town-head," The manager responded after taking a deep breath. He decided to give it as even if he failed, he would only lose 500 low soul stones, and it would also take away the debt of saving the town from the townspeople.
"Good! Show me your forging room," Aakesh expressionlessly said. If it were in reality, he would\'ve made the weapon a rare grade in seconds only by purifying it, but since he was in Panagea and had no control over the purifying fire, he had to upgrade the weapon manually.
The manager nodded and clicked something in his shop, and the next moment, a door appeared for his basement. He then entered the door, and Aakesh followed him.
Underground, there was a much larger area than the store itself. As Aakesh glanced over to the forges, he saw several Dwarves working on them.. He found an empty forge in one corner and went to it.
