Adrian's chest heaved as he sucked in a lungful of air, the weight of his exertion clinging to his every pore. The initial plan had entailed a visit to Oakwood Lane right after his training session. However, the sun had now arched its way to its midday zenith, and Adrian's attire was a testament to the grime and perspiration he had accumulated.
With a thoughtful pause, he decided against his earlier intention, opting instead to retreat to the comfort of his room in Silver Moon Inn. His muscles rejoiced as he sank onto the edge of his bed, the cool fabric a soothing contrast against his heated skin. A few minutes passed in quiet reprieve, his breath steadying and his mind wandering.
After a short rest, he rose from the bed and went to the bathroom the corner. Splashes of water danced as he washed away the accumulated grunge, each droplet a miniature liberation. The scent of soap mingled with the invigorating aroma of the oils that adorned the room, casting aside the lingering tang of sweat.
With a renewed vitality, he dressed in fresh attire, the fabric a gentle embrace against his revitalized body. A growl from his stomach echoed his readiness for sustenance, prompting a smile to dance upon his lips. The midday sun cast warm light through the window as Adrian sat down to a meal, the flavors and textures a welcomed indulgence.
After he was sated with lunch, he went out and made his way to Oakwood Lane. Guided by the address provided by the Business Opportunity Newspaper and occasional asking to the locals, Adrian finally arrived at the street. He was greeted by the sight of a charming neighborhood lined with neatly arranged houses and a peaceful atmosphere. The houses were adorned with various architectural styles, each contributing to the unique character of the neighborhood.
Following the address, he eventually found the property in question. The "Renovator's Dream House" stands before him, a two-story structure with a traditional design. While the house exuded a certain old-world charm, it was evident that it needed attention and restoration. The exterior walls showed signs of wear and peeling paint, and some of the windows appeared to be in need of repair.
Stepping closer to the house, he observed the surroundings. The property included a small front yard that had the potential to become a pleasant garden space. As he stood there, he imagined the possibilities: a fresh coat of paint, repaired windows, and perhaps even an expansion or modernization of the interior to transform the house into a comfortable and inviting home.
It was clear that the "Renovator's Dream House" presented an opportunity for those with an eye for design, renovation skills, and a willingness to invest time and resources. The price reflected the potential for transformation and the value that could be added through careful restoration.
“That said, how much the house can be sold after I flip it?” Asked Adrian inwardly.
As he stood before the "Renovator's Dream House," he contemplated the potential value it could hold after a thorough renovation and modernization. The exact resale price should be influenced by various factors, including the quality of the renovation, market conditions, and the overall demand for properties in the area. Adrian could care less about the buy price and sale price. What he was concerned with was: the contractor and some aspects of legality whether he could buy a house or not.
Adrian shook my head. I was getting too impatient. “Baby steps,” he said inwardly. “I should treat this as a lesson. I will first buy a house for myself. Then after experiencing the process of buying a house, knowing the aspects of regulation and paperwork regarding residential housing in this world, should I then consider in getting involved in property business.”
With that, Adrian discontinued the flipping project. He went back to his inn. Then reading the newspaper, and scanned any information about a house for sale. A house worth 30 silver coin was fine. That price was average, so he was unlikely to attract potential troublemaker. Hopefully. Now he just needed to know the procedure for buying a house and whether he could buy a house or not.
As he perused the business opportunity newspaper, his focus shifted to the section that pertained to houses available for sale. Among the listings, he came across a few options that appeared to be within the 30-silver coin budget and aligned with his goal of acquiring a property. One particular listing caught his eye:

He made his way to Sunflower Lane, guided by the address provided in the listing for the "Cozy Cottage." As Adrian approached the lane, he was met with a charming and serene atmosphere. The lane was lined with quaint houses, each exuding a sense of comfort and homeliness. The neighborhood seemed peaceful, making it an appealing location for those seeking a tranquil and inviting environment.
As he followed the address, he eventually arrived at the "Cozy Cottage." The cottage stood before him, a one-story structure with a sloped roof and a front garden adorned with vibrant flowers. The exterior exuded a sense of simplicity and warmth, and he could see that the cottage was surrounded by a white picket fence.
Stepping closer to the cottage, Adrian took in the details of its design. The windows were adorned with lace curtains, and the front door featured a welcoming color that added to the overall charm. The small garden space was well-maintained, with a variety of flowers adding a touch of color to the surroundings.
As he stood there, he could not help but imagine the possibilities that the "Cozy Cottage" offered. While the space was relatively small, it seemed to exude a sense of comfort and coziness. The price of 30 silver coins aligned with his budget, and he could not help but wonder about the potential for personalization and making the space his own.
It's clear that the decision to explore this option in person allowed him to gain a firsthand understanding of the property and its surroundings.
As he stood before the "Cozy Cottage," contemplating his next steps, he decided to take the initiative and knocked on the front door. After a few moments, he heard footsteps approaching from inside the cottage. The door opened, revealing a middle-aged woman with a warm smile.
"Hello there! How can I help you?" she asked, her tone friendly and welcoming.
Adrian introduced himself and expressed his interest in the "Cozy Cottage" that was listed for sale. The woman nodded, understanding his inquiry.
"Yes, that's right. I'm the owner of this cottage," she confirmed. "My name is Eliza. Please, come in. Would you like to take a look inside?"
Eliza gestured for him to enter, and Adrian stepped inside the cottage. The interior matched the exterior in terms of its cozy and homely atmosphere. The living area was adorned with comfortable furniture and tasteful decor. A fireplace stood against one wall, offering the promise of warmth during colder seasons.
As Adrian walked through the cottage, Eliza provided him with information about the layout, the features of each room, and the history of the property. She shared that she had lived here for many years and had cherished the cottage as her own home.
Adrian then started conversation with Eliza about purchasing the “Cozy Cottage”. He asked about the details of the sale. This included discussions about the price, any necessary legal paperwork, and the steps involved in transferring ownership. He also asked to inquire about the condition of the cottage, any potential renovations or repairs needed, and whether there were any specific terms or conditions associated with the sale.
“I am okay with the price,” told Adrian, not haggling. Eliza was surprised, as she raised her gaze towards her potential house buyer. “But I have a problem. I wonder if it is okay for me to buy a house in the city. Are there any rules regarding that? I am a traveler and have no identification as this city's citizen. Is it going to be a problem?”
Eliza listened attentively to his question. She considered the concern. After a moment of thought, she responds with a reassuring smile.
"Don't worry, Adrian. Purchasing property in our city is open to both residents and travelers alike. While having citizenship can make certain processes easier, it's not a requirement to buy a house here," she explained. "As long as you have the means to make the purchase and go through the necessary legal procedures, you can become the owner of this cottage."
Eliza's response alleviated his worry about his status as a traveler. It seemed that the city was welcoming to individuals from various backgrounds who are interested in acquiring property.
"If you're interested in moving forward with the purchase," Eliza continues, "we can discuss the details, including any paperwork that needs to be completed, the payment process, and any additional information you may need."
“Okay, I have the money and I am willing to go through legal works. What do I need to do?” asked Adrian.
Eliza smiles warmly, appreciating Adrian's enthusiasm to move forward with the purchase of the "Cozy Cottage." She gestured for Adrian to take a seat in the living area and joined him.
"First of all, I'm delighted that you're interested in making this cottage your own," she began. "To proceed with the purchase, there are a few steps we need to take."
Eliza went on to explain the general process involved in buying a property in the city:
Agreement and Negotiation: Adrian and Eliza would need to come to an agreement on the final sale price of the cottage. If both parties were satisfied with the terms, we could move on to the next step.
Preparation of Legal Documents: To formalize the sale, legal documents would need to be prepared. These documents would outline the terms of the sale, the agreed-upon price, and other relevant details. Eliza said she might have a legal representative assist with this process.
Payment: Adrian would need to provide the agreed-upon payment for the property. This could be in the form of coins or other forms of currency. Once the payment was received and verified, the ownership transfer process can begin.
Ownership Transfer: The legal documents would be signed by both parties to officially transfer ownership of the property from Eliza to him. This step might involve witnesses and notaries to ensure the transaction's legality.
Registration: The transfer of ownership would need to be registered with the appropriate authorities to ensure that the property's records were updated to reflect the change in ownership.
Possession: Once the legal procedures were completed and the ownership transfer was finalized, Adrian would officially become the owner of the "Cozy Cottage." Adrian could move in and made the space his own.
Eliza assured him that she will guide him through each step of the process and ensured that everything was handled smoothly. She also mentions that she had experience with property transactions and would provide the necessary assistance to help facilitate the purchase.
Adrian then asked, “Do we need to go to authorities now?”
Eliza shook her head gently.
"We don't need to go to the authorities just yet. The first step is to prepare the legal documents outlining the terms of the sale," she explains. "Once those documents are ready, we can proceed with the formalities, including the payment and ownership transfer."
"In the meantime, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know. Once the legal documents are prepared, we'll schedule a meeting to finalize the sale," Eliza adds.
“Can we go to legal expert now? If not, then I will wait for your news.” Then Adrian told her the inn he currently slept in and his room number, in case that she need to message him.
Eliza nodded understandingly at Adrian’s question. "I understand your eagerness, Adrian," she replied. "However, the legal expert I mentioned works on a schedule, and it's best to make an appointment in advance. I'll contact the legal expert and arrange for a meeting as soon as possible."
Eliza took note of the inn where Adrian currently staying and assured him that she would reach out to him once the legal documents were prepared and the meeting was scheduled. She wanted to ensure that everything is done properly and professionally.
"Thank you for your patience. Rest assured that I will keep you informed every step of the way," she said with a smile.
Adrian shrugged his shoulder. The ball was on Eliza right now. He already showed his intent. And he had his money prepared.
