" this sword I got it from the blood ogre tribe. They are as strong as fifth floor challangers."
" Blood ogre tribe. Where is that village and which floor is it in."
" It's in the far edge of the first floor."
" Wait so you are telling you got this S rank sword from the first floor."
He asked with anger and confusion on his face which I guess is valid from his point of view.
" Don't shout at me it was a life and death situation for me the entire time I was in that God forsaken village."
" Alright then. What level are you on anyway."
" Me I'm on level 10 what are you on and what floor are you on ."
" I'm on level 25 and just finished the ninth floor quest."
Nineth then the next one is gonna be a big challenge for him. The tenth floor is trial of mental power. They make the challenger relive their biggest trauma and for kinazuma it's killing his own wife and being killed by his own son.
" Be careful the tenth floor is not a physical one, the tenth floor is a test of mental power. You are gonna have to relieve your worst trauma so be ready."
" A test of mental power. Alright thank you for telling me about it."
Reliving my worst trauma. It's ofcourse gonna be my wife's death. I really don't want to see it again.
" Oh I want to ask you something kinazuma."
" What is it."
" Are you noticing that there are less and less challangers who are climbing more floors."
" Yeah I'm. There is no news about a new floor being opened since one or two months. Wait don't tell me."
" You are right if they don't finish the next floor within a few days then there will be another catastrophe."
Catastrophe. It occurs when no challanger raids a floor within the given time then the monsters of the floor will start to summon outside of the tower. Which leads u
to monsters rampaging near the towers and the monsters that will go out are wyverns.
The catastrophe is one of the main events that will occur in a few days and it's the worst one of them all.
" You should be careful kinazuma. I'm telling you this just in case so get as strong as possible."
" Alright I will, now let's get going I have to take care of a few things of, so see you later."
" Alright then take care."
" Now that he is gone. I should go too but the problem is what are they both still doing talking. I thought she would go with kinazuma."
Looking at the both of them I was wondering why they are still talking.
" I don't want to disturb them I will just go and get the items need to make the mana refining elixer."
" Hey korin I need to get a few items for me to make my mana refining elixer so I will meet you back at the inn."
" Oh alright then see you later then."
The things I need to get to make a mana refining elixer is pretty hard to find because of their rarity and the cost is alot too.
I have enough money to get everything without a problem and I know where is everything is too. It's just a fact of is it available or not.
The best option is to go to a few corner stores to find them because no one cares to look at those stores.
I walked for a while trying to find the ingredients I need for my mana refining elixer.
The first ingredient for it is an C rank mana core which are easy to find but because of how dense my mana is i would need at least a B rank mana core.
The second one is an branch of the world tree and the final ingredients are a B rank mana stone and a C rank mana potion as a catalyst.
It would be nice if I can get a nice armour while I'm out getting stuff.
It took a while for me to find a good store to get the materials I need. The store was a bit shabby but the interior was as good as an normal store and also had many high ranked materials which means I can get items that I need in the future too from here.
The owner is an old man who is around his fifty's and he looked like a calm guy too.
" Hello I'm a here to get items for a mana refining elixer but can you give me items of higher rank."
" I have the items but why do you need higher ranked items it costs alot you know that right."
" I know that but I need higher ranked items because my mana might be way too impure for an normal mana refining elixer to refine it."
" Oh then I will give you all the that you need right now but remember it will cost alot."
" Don't worry about it, I have a lot of money to spare."
While waiting for the owner to get the items I looked around the store to see if I can get something that can help me awaken one of my skills.
While looking around the store I activated my skill absolute appraisal to see if there is something that actually can pique my interest.
There was something which I didn't even know could be found here.
It was the book of the first revelation. The book with the history of the first sage but this one is different than that of korins because this book is not about magic calcutions its rather about how to cultivate mana correctly and how to use it correctly.
Which is the Best find for me because now I can cultivate mana in the best way and use high teir spells easily because of those books.
" Here are all the materials you will need and it will cost two platinum coins."
" Two platinum coins is a good deal and yeah can I get this book too. This looks interesting."
Looking at the book he said. " This dusty old book has a runic language which not even fifth circle mages can't even crack and a few pages are even torn out, do you really want this book."
" Yeah I want it because I know someone who can crack this runic language and I know where those pages are too."
" Alright then it's your problem from now own. That book will cost you twenty gold."
" Really only twenty gold that's a steal and here is all the money."
After giving all the money I took my leave from this store and started heading back to the inn to meet korin back.
" I really want to sleep right now I'm very tired after roaming the entire Lobby to get all the items I need."
Taking a walk in this place I saw many people trying to form parties exchanging information about the next floors and a few just minding their business which is not something I would see in my past life.
Everyone felt too awkward to talk with someone. My story just walked by eachother or just ignore what people say.
While returning to inn I saw both korin and ririko waiting for me outside.
" Weird, what is ririko doing here. I thought she would have left by now."
Going closer to then korin came upto me and said " Hey ryuzo is it okay if we let ririko join our team. She said she has no one to form a team with."
" What about kinazuma she was just with him when we met them right."
" The both of them of were just just talking because they passed by."
Oh damn! Did I just change the plot line right now. I need to make the both of them form a team again or the story might change by alot.
For now I should let here join my team.
" Oh then tell her that she is in."
