"So what you're saying is that we're rich?"
James and Janica were at the local bank in the town, learning about the money system in this universe.
"Yes sir, gold coins are worth one thousand copper coins, and one copper coin is worth one hundred iron coins." The bank attendant explained.
"Janica, you know what that means?" James asked.
"Please don't say shopping spree, you had terrible financial decisions back then."
"SHOPPING SPREE." James said as he rushed out of the bank, leaving Janica in the dust as the bank attendant looked with a confused look.
"He forgot the bag of coins." Janica sighed.
----------------------------------------
The pair checked out different stores, seeing the cool armor sets and weapons they could purchase easily with their funds.
"Arnold's Arms and Armor Store?" James said aloud, amused by the store's name. "Ooh, we could get cool looking armor here can't we?"
"Let's check it out." Janica said as they walked into the store.
The inside of the shop looked like if you mixed a convenience store with an RPG equipment store. The shelfs were made of wood, but were lined up like the isles at a Walmart. The shopkeeper was behind a stone counter, inspecting a gold lined sword. He looked up at the teens and welcomed them.
"Welcome to Arnold's Arms and Armor Store kiddos! Aren't you two a bit young to go shopping for adventuring supplies?" Arnold was a muscular looking man, with an eyepatch over his left eye, and a tattoo on his right arm that said, "My eyepatch isn't real."
The siblings put 2 gold coins on the counter. "What can we buy with this?" James asked excitedly.
----------------------------------------
James and Janica walked out of the store with new clothes and armor. James now donned a black hooded cloak, that was reinforced with steel bands.

Cool Looking Cloak
A cool looking black cloak with steel bands to protect the user. Enchanted with self repairing spells. Steel bands take longer to self repair than cloak itself.
Janica now wore white robes with yellow lining the sides, with leather pads for protection against weaker weapons and attacks.
Robes of Healing
A set of white robes with yellow lining, with leather pads that protect the user. Enchanted with healing boost spells. Healing boost spells lowers the cost of energy for healing and support spells, and improves support and healing spells.
Janica also now held a metal staff with a yellow orb at the end.
Staff of healing
Healing spells cast from staff are improved and cost less mana. Can be used to whack enemies.
"Man why do you get to have a new weapon." James complained.
"You can literally summon guns, plus my staff isn't a weapon, it's used for healing people, and by people I mean you."
"Fair enough."
----------------------------------------
"So we can become adventurers with cools powers and stuff?" James asked the Adventurers Guild staff member.
The pair had made their way to the town's local Adventurers Guild building, where they were learning about what an adventurer was, and how they can abandon their old ideas of a dream job from Earth, and learn about a new dream job.
"That's right," The staff member replied. "Adventurers go complete tasks assigned to them, or some just do whatever they want, it's a very open job. Being an adventurer just means that you can go off on adventures legally. Aren't you two a bit young for applying though? Most people usually wait until they're at least 17, and even they get prior training by their guardians to become one."
"Screw it we're becoming adventurers." James said, ignoring the previously said sentence.
"James we've only been here for two days," Janica said. "Maybe we should learn more about this world instead of rushing into one of the more dangerous jobs? Actually, why are we getting a job in the first place, we need to at least get settled in this world before we go rushing off further!"
"It'll be fine, besides, if we become adventurers, we can learn way more about this world by exploring it, rather than listen to people explain it to us. It's kinda like high school, I was getting bored listening to the teacher drone on about math, barely learning anything, until I actually did the math for myself, and learned it way faster!"
"Um, what are you kids talking about?" The staff member asked.
