Soul Fusion Online
chapter-19

Yuki looked very troubled at this time. It was not that she did not like people, but more of it was she was not used to so much attention after being someone who was always alone. Scratching her head, Yuki could only try to excuse herself politely. "Girl's, I thank you for your kind words, but I must get going."

"Aww!" The group of girls pouted.

"Since you need to go, we won't keep you anymore!" One girl said.

"Yeah, bye bye cute kitty, and handsome man!" Another girl yelled.

Yuki said her goodbyes and quickly left the area. She never thought a single cat would cause such an uproar. She went right to the Trade Skill Guild and into a potion room. After depositing all her materials into the storage chest. Yuki started up the crafting process from her trade skill window. While that was doing its thing, she played with Nergal until it was done.

Level: 1 → 2/20

"Another level… I guess now I can start taking on monsters… I will put my SP into Health this time." Yuki pressed the plus icon next to health twice. She knew 2 Health was not very much, but it might help her ward off a fatal attack.

[Health]: 102/100 → 102

With potions in hand, Yuki made her way to the marketplace to post her new potions and to see if she had made any money. But when she got there and looked at the amount waiting for her to take out, her eyes almost popped out of her head. "Someone bought them all for that high buyout price!?" Yuki was really wondering if this person was an idiot or not. She may not know much about the game just yet, but on the money side of things, she knew that no one had more than ten gold max on their person. Only the marketplace would have that much gold, and if someone went and actually bought all that gold… Yuki's head began to spin. Just thinking of the amount of money that was wasted buying so much gold made her feel bitter. But this also gave Yuki an idea. "Since you want to buy out my potions, let's make it worth it!" Yuki entered her buyout price: 1000 gold...

Seeing how everything was set, Yuki switched from the items section of the marketplace to the currency section. "So, 1 silver is now worth 3 crowns. Hopefully, this will sell fast..." Keeping ten gold for herself, Yuki set 990 gold on the marketplace to be sold. After she was done, she decided to go to a weapon shop to get a better weapon.

"Sam's Weapons and Armor…." Yuki read the sign hanging over the door of a one floor building. She walked in to see armor and weapons lining the shelves, all on display, from leather armor to full plate armor. There were even robes for those who were casters. When Yuki looked at the prices of some of these things, she frowned because a lot of them cost almost one gold each.

"What can I ge'cha?" A bearded man in a dirty white T-shirt asked as he came out from the back room with a sword in his hand.

"I am looking for a weapon and a cheap set of leather armor..." Yuki did not want to use anything too expensive since she planned to make her own from here on out, but to make sure she had enough defense and attack power to get by until then, she had no choice but to buy weapons and armor. The starter gear was just not going to cut it.

"A weapon and cheap armor, huh? Let's see… For a young lad like you, how about something like this?" The man walked over and pointed to a set of armor that was off to the side. It looked like something you would see in any game: a leather tunic with pants and boots. The tunic even came with a metal breastplate. "This set here is only fifty silver. I just made it last night while I was practicing adding some special effects to it. It's made out of used leather, so it is a bit patchworky. No one really wants armor that doesn't look too good. Sadly though, I was only able to add a boost to defense."

"I will take it!" Yuki did not hesitate to buy it since the other armor was much more expensive, and they didn't even have special effects. It was just the look and style that was a bit better than the set the man was trying to sell her.

"Haha! Good, at least my hard work last night was not in vain. I will wrap it up. Go take a look at the weapons and tell me which one you want." The man happily grabbed the armor and went to go wrap it up before Yuki could even get a word in edgewise. Seeing the man run off to the back room, Yuki sighed before walking over to the area with weapons.

There were all kinds of weapons, from bows, swords, shields, and daggers. Yuki looked them over. Even with such an array of choices, she still was more drawn to the swords. She picked up a few western style swords and gave each one a swing. But she felt they were too bulky for her liking. In the end, after testing the Asian style swords, she ended up choosing a katana. The price was 70 silver, but it added 10 to her attack power. It was the most expensive one in her level range.

"Here you are. You buying this sword as well?" The man asked.

"Yes, thank you." Yuki thanked the man, but she noticed the man's expression was a bit strange. "Is something wrong?"

"Err… It might not be my place to ask this, but is that your pet?" The man pointed to the top of Yuki's head.

"Mmm… Its name is Nergal." Yuki reached up and picked Nergal up off her head and held it out to the man only to see him quickly shrink back. "Something wrong?"

"Son, I should warn you that that is not a cat." The man quickly stepped back, pressing his body up against the wall.

"I know. I picked it up out in the forest. Don't worry, it won't attack you." Yuki said while placing Nergal back on top of her head. "Meow!" Nergal even gave a cry as if to say, I won't do anything. But when the man looked into those big yellow eyes that narrowed slightly as it looked back at the man, he couldn't help but feel a cold shiver run up his spine. Yuki could see the man was scared of Nergal for some reason, so she said goodbye before taking her stuff and leaving the shop. She quickly equipped her armor and sword and was now ready to go hunting.

Once again, the forums were ablaze due to Yuki's potions.

@GreenHat: Haha! I bet that person who bought all those potions before is puking up blood with grief! But I must say this Heavenly Crafts person is smart. They saw that their potions were all bought out at max bid and raised the max bid tenfold! Haha!

@IHaveNoName: Maybe it was a typo.

@GreenHat: Really? They posted 20 stacks! How would it be a typo on all 20 stacks?

@WhiteLotus: GreenHat, don't you have a life other than playing around on the forums?

@GreenHat: Says the person who keeps stalking me! I told you many times to send nudes!

@WhiteLotus: Who is stalking who!? You keep asking me to send nudes every time I speak! Keep it up, and I will report you!

@GreenHat: Go! Go! Report! I bet nothing happens!

@FingerSandwhich: When will the two of you get married? All you two do is fight like an old married couple.

@GreenHat: Shut up FingerSandwhich!

@WhiteLotus: FingerSandwhich go die!
