Reincarnation of Audemars - Who Am I...?

Exploration and Fact Finding

"Well, I can't wait to venture out and have a look around the settlement. If there are 2 separate districts, this settlement would be as big as the town already." I thought to myself as I sat in the bed in just my boxers as I bring up the interface.

"There's something worth finding out about the meaning of these attributes above. Let me bring up the 'i' to give me some insights" I thought to myself as I clicked the information needed to find out about these new attributes and stats.

.....

There is another window just underneath it and its worth to take a look. Its the in-depth information needed to check out the secondary stats. It seems this interface is getting more complicated than usual. Just by looking at the stats gave me stars around my eyes and a moon on my head.

I had managed to unlocked the skills at the first moment it was shown physically and utilised. However, only the 'Pills Through Mind Control' is still locked. Hmm, guess I do have to read the tomes one at a time to finally get my skills and also to open up my profession.

Class: Warrior, Wizard

Profession: unknown (has yet to be unlocked)

Skills:

Kamehameha

Rise of the Sun

Diamond Thunderbolt

Black Fire

Psi Energy Healing Spheres

Pills Through Mind Control (locked)

"Luckily I had left those tomes I've duplicated before back there in the Fusion Chamber. Sigh... Just like a newborn baby eh?" I sighed as I read through the interface once again as I try to see what kinds of class I would be able to gain. It is not as simple as the one back in the past series, but this is going to be one helluva ride.

Looking at my other part of the stats, it shows that I had somehow accumulated a bit of wealth. I won't know how the goods are being sold over here since I had not stepped out from the place even.

Wealth: 198 credits

Weapon: Dagger (+3), Bronze Short Sword (+5) (equipped)

Armour: Heavy Work Glove (+2) Wooden Buckler (+6)

Ah well, maybe I should ask Prius when is the best time for me to head out and do some grinding. It would surely help to get some advice from the experts from the Great Hall of Ingmery, right?

I slowly changed into a fresh pair of clothing and wished that I had the simplest form of body armour as I still hate walking around feeling 'naked' in this medieval era. I think I'd better move about the town and make myself familiar with the place then.

.....

"Hiya Prius, would it be alright if I move about in this central town to have a look-see at the surroundings? I know that I had been out and about for some hours now and some fresh air would do me just fine."

"At least I could check out the locales here and get acquainted with some of the residents here," I said to Prius who had stopped fiddling with his mobile phone and hid it away when I came out from my room to greet him.

"That's alright with me, my friend. You can run along as you wish and be back here by dinner time. I hope you would be able to find what you are looking for in this small central part of town." Prius gestured me to the front door as he opened it up and a blast of fresh air hits me smack in the face.

"Thank you, my good man," I replied as I stepped out for the first time. "Wow... What a sight! It is even better than what I could have imagined. There's not much to look at right now but at least this place is not fabricated like the one in my last series where every merchant looked rather identical and all are inter-related with one another."

"Hah hah hah. At least here I hope to find something that might spark my interest." I looked around and found that there is no name that signifies this Great Hall but there's a coloured painting of the coat of arms that hung near the door in a wooden board.

"Nice... It had been ages since I've seen this type of setting. A picture sure tells a thousand words." I thought to myself as I walked on the cobblestone walk on the right and in the middle of the courtyard, several merchants had opened up some makeshift tents, displaying some of their wares and goods for sale.

There is no sense walking around holding to my wooden buckler and old bronze sword so I left it in my storage bag as I walked carefree in the district.

"Good morrow my friend, would there be anything I could interests you with?" a man named Penn greeted me as I went close to his stall. I saw a few slabs of pork, chicken and meat and even though it was exposed on the table, there wasn't a single greenbottle fly buzzing around.

"Hello, it is alright my friend. I am just walking by. These meats sure look fresh." the moment I chatted with him, a trading interface open up and it was marked as 'BUY' and I could see the prices and their quantity as well. A slab of meat that is good for 5 portion costs 60 credits while the chicken costs only 15 credits for the same number of portions.

Besides the 'BUY' option there was a sell and when I clicked on it, it showed nothing for me to sell. Hah hah hah. Guess I have to start grinding in order to change it for credits.

"By the way, Penn... Is the selling price-controlled or different from one place to another?" I asked since it is my first time handling the trade issues here.

"You can sell almost anything to these merchants here except for the Tavern who insists on selling and not buying from adventurers. In the Northern area, there is a decor shop and you could sell items there as well, but according to what they are selling."

"You cannot sell meat there, but you could sell decor items to us merchants. Likewise, decor only buys back decor pieces unlike other merchants or tradesmen in their profession."

"Oh, you have other tradesmen here in Ingmery?" I asked in question since I might be able to have an upper hand advantage once I get to know a few major players here.

"Ah yes, my friend. We have a blacksmith here that deals with weapons and armour, we also have a bowman shop that deals with you know; bows, crossbows and blunderbuss. There's a brewery shop that sells regeneration strength and mana potions. Have a look around since all of their locales are located around this district." Penn explained as he showed with his hands the shops that he had mentioned.

"Thanks, Penn, I'd have a look around. I would need to head back soon for dinner."

"You had just awakened from your deep sleep, ya? Be careful, young man. Don't overexert yourself on the first day. It's alright to have some fresh air."

"Be seeing you around soon, Penn." I bade him farewell as I head down to the place that I would target the most. The Blacksmith Shop. Hope I could get some answers that need clarification from the expert.

The wooden door creaked open and I entered and saw a lone Blacksmith was behind his counter and guessed he had finished up with some of his smithing tasks.

"Good day, my friend. Would there be anything that I could interest you with?" the Smithy by the name of Blake greeted me.

"Hello there Blake, I have some questions that only you might have the answers. May I know what are the metals that are currently being used to make weapons and armours?"

The smithy looked at me with crooked eyebrows as he peered me and glanced at me from top to bottom. "This guy must be nuts asking these types of silly questions or he might not even be part of this world!" Blake asked himself as he straightens up the leather apron that he wore during his smithing.

I shuffled my feet as I was waiting for him to reply to me since I might have ticked him off by asking a question that might even question his intelligence. Urgghh... Here we go again.. Asking the right question but clearly being misunderstood by the other party.
