Theme: Adventure/Humor
Zed woke up feeling refreshed, he served himself breakfast and did some light exercise to stay fit. Zed decided to log back to royal road, he was now level 10 with amazing stats. Zed also gained the focus and concentration stat, he now noticed it but deemed it not his concerns at the moment. He had big problems to worry about, why do you ask if he has a problem when his strong and has new skills that are formidable? He suddenly remembered he was carrying tons of gold, Zed was afraid that someone might be off to PK him and drop his hard earn gold or better yet that someone might pickpocket him. Zed was lucky he didn't get pickpocketed two weeks ago since he finished that quest. Zed was found sneaking around town and arrived at his destination, the gringots bank ( located throughout the the continent of Versailles and most reliable bank and storage center )that is run by goblins when his status windows popped up.

Zed greeted the goblins and discussed their transactions. He was qualified for their VIP service and deposited 9000 of his gold. The VIP storage gives players a pouch that directly access to his/her account and this also qualified him with a portable storage that links with their banks. (both items are bound to the player and can't be dropped also can't be pickpocketed)After his deposit, Zed went to the spell shop and bought the healing hand spell for 300g. Zed then went to the mages guild and applied for a mage, The receptionist quickly asked him to show his status window and was qualified.

Zed wanted to learn more skills like repair skills and blacksmithing skills and tailoring skills but zed decided it was hassle, sure he had the necessary funds to make use of his skills but it required ungodly amount of patience to level them, but he decided to focus on the cooking skill and maybe the repair skills and identifying skill might be useful too in the long run. Zed asked around on the shops and found out that they could be earned on quest from the shop owner and the black Smith. They were also sold at 150g each as a skill book. He bought the skill books since he didn't have time for the quest to get them ( he really wanted to get out of town ). He also decided to buy some Identifying glasses (Always identifies item at 100% success rate) 5g per item and he also went to buy some holy water from the church. While on the way he bumped on some cloaked person while some random Man asked him questions, he didn't think nothing of it. ( though that cloaked person did look suspicious ). Zed decided to test his theory that if weapons can be buffed too. His theory paid of but the buff only lasted for 10 min. he decided to tinker with the holy water more thinking that if it was able to cast a holy effect buff on equips, he should try it on his items, one particular item was his identifying glass and sure enough he heard a particular sound.

Zed decided that it was a pretty good investment and should invest. normally no player should have that kind of money with the release of royal road that was only new, but being lucky enough to have stumbled upon the church of freya' s quest was lucky. Well normally it was just a normal quest that can be acquired early in the game but the detection skill to spot ghost or reveal hidden enemies in royal road require you to be a high lv profession. Zed was lucky he discovered the ruwatch skill by accident. He finally arrived at the bank and Inside Zed made another bussiness transaction and ended it with a shake of hands with the goblins transaction successfully concluded. Zed too gained his personal accountant named Griphook within the bank to handle his accounts in case something bad happens.

Side story:
Jack POV
Jack was pretty high level, he was a lv 90 thief. He was a very proactive and a sneaky person. He had his own guild and was high on his pedestal.At the start Jack wanted to be a pirate in honor of his favorite ancestor Jack Sparrow. but realized that those class were at another continent or at cities near the ocean and wasn't available able to because he was born near the city The Citadel of Serabourg, Rosenheim Kingdom and not near the ocean. Jack settled for the next big thing, a thief. Quick and precise, stealthy and graceful, He was dubbed as Jack the ripper and he was a master thief, he was was also an npc. He had heard about some captain of the kingdom was giving away plenty of money to some Freeman, He thought that that Freeman was very easy pickings but he was busy at the moment, he was playing hooky with the girls and brag about his heroics/infamy. Trully he was a pureblood with skills, pristege and political power through bribes. Thanks to this though zed has his 2 weeks safe from Jack. 2 weeks Jack was running low on money then he remembered that rumor of that Freeman, He looked around town and gathered some information and after some time he found him. a sinister smile crawled on his lips and formed a plan. Jack hired a beggar to distract zed and he pickpocketed zed and didn't notice him at all. After walking away Jack smiled and thought "just like taking candy from a baby". After that event Jack went to a very expensive bar on the next city and partied like no tomorrow. Next day came and the manager came to collect his bill. Jack was feeling generous and handed the man a pouch seemingly full stuff and Jack began to walk home that is when suddenly he heard the manager snapped his fingers and guards barred the door and Jack said "what's going on?", the manager glared at Jack and said "Harharhar very funny joke now where's my money? Jack replied that he already handed him the the money. The manager then went to the nearby table and empty the pouch that it was filled with large amount of copper and silvers ,sadly no gold. Jack gasped and thought this doesn't end well for him. Day's later news spread that Jack has been duped and his very Famous/infamous guild broke down. The future generations from today told stories about Jack and how he blundered big time. Grown ups told stories of Jack , they even made a poem about him.
* Jack be nimble , Jack be quick
He's so famous, he can't be beat
Jack was sure he can't be caught
until he did in his last job
he couldn't stop but drink and eat
till came his bill came for just desserts
Jack paled and he tried to run
he thought he had a very good fun
got caught and was sent off to prison
oh woe is me, oh woe is me
Years went by just like that
till it was his time for his judgement day
On to the gallows he was seen last
May his soul finally rest.
I'm still having trouble with the status window, there's a [/trl] on top of it, need help fixing.
