As I enter the city. I walk directly to the guild. Every time I walk in the city I always think about getting new clothes. because of everyone looking at me.

"I can't wait to see the look on their faces!" 

Wait, I was planning on giving them all 182 herbs for some extra silver. But, let me see if 30 herbs for 5 silver is a good price first.

"Excuse me, sir"

"I don't got money kid, screw off!"

"Oh, no no no I'm just looking for directions, sir" What an asshole. "Do you know where they deal with herbs and stuff?"

"Yeah, it's literally right there. Open your eyes sometimes. Now if you will excuse me."

"Yeah, thanks, I guess."

Really polite, anyways I look at the store and I see a wooden logo with a vial on it. I guess that's a potion.

I enter the store. And see an old lady examining some type of herb. "Hello, hi there ma'am. Sorry to bother you, but can you show me the price for this?"

"My, how polite, give it here." 20 seconds later, "Jermeth herb... I see the street price is 3 silver coins."

???

"Is it really 3 silver coins? You see I went to the guild and I had to find 30 of these and the reward is 5 silver coins"

"Hohohoho, that price is completely false. All of the adventurer's guilds do that, but nobody really cares. Everyone cares more about getting higher ranks, the coins is secondary."

Blackmail! Extortion! Scam! I'm so glad I came here for the price!

"Jermeth herbs are hard to get now for some reason if you find me some more I'll buy them off you for 3 silver coins."

Thank you, goblin.

I'm going to sell 152 herbs here and the rest is gonna go the guild. I want that rank up! As I was about to pull out 152 herbs,

"!"

Oh shit, I was to excited. I almost pulled out all of the herbs from the inventory instantly.

"Something wrong?"

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"Oh no no, one second.

I get out of the store to look around to see if someone is looking at me. I pull out 152 herbs and walk back in.

"Ahhh, Yeah, I left the herbs outside at the door it was pretty heavy. Anyways here."

"You carried all this by hand? That mustv-"

"Yeah don't sweat the small details. Will you buy them all? all 152 that is."

"Of course, I'm not losing anything from buying them, here is 5 gold coins and 56 silver coins."

"Thank you!, Oh, I think you made a mistake its 4 gold coins and 56 silver coins." NOooo me and my big ass mouth.

"No this is correct, no one sells this. I mean unless it's 1 or 2 but not 100s, Thank you come again if you want to sell some herbs or potions. Or if you want to purchase something I'll give you a 10% discount! Only once thought!"

"Hahaha, Alright thank you, good bye."

As I am walking to the guild.

I open my inventory and put the coins in.

'Inventory(LV1) has become Inventory(LV2)'

Nice, nice wait, where are my coins?

"Gone.. gone gone gone WHERE ARE THEY???!?"

Everybody looks at me for a little bit, then start walking again.

"*Sigh* I almost had a heart attack... The coins are there but not in one of the 4 slo- 6 slots now since it leveled up. The coins are under it.

'Unknown'

'5 gold coins'

'56 silver coins'

'35 copper coins'

If my coins suddenly disappeared... Geez, even I don't know what I would do.

Hey! I don't have money issues, it's just that the thought of 5 gold coins disappearing into thin air after all that is hell.

Anyways, I jog to the guild for 15 minutes. Although i didn't get any stat points this time.

I open the door and-

"PFFFF hahaha this kid has the balls to show up!!"

"Wow I'm surprised! Larry you owe me 2 silver coins." 

"Fuckkk, who woulda thought this kid would still show u-"

Before the guy could finish his sentence, everybody stares at the kid. Or more specifically what's inside the kid's hands.

Deathly silence permits the room for 2 minutes.

"Oi oi oi, I didn't think he would actually..."

"He probably bought those, right?"

"No that's impossible nobody sells those at least not 30."

I walk up to the girl at the counter.

"Here you go, ALL 30 Jermeth herbs"

"Please show me your guild card."

I can't tell if she's pissed or angry. Well, what's the difference? I hand her my guild card.

"Congragulations! Jake! You have been promoted to 'Rank E Adventurer'! Here are 3 silver coins. The debt is paid."

"Thank you! Excuse me."

I walk toward Crazy Ralph.

"*Ahem*" I look at him.

"......" He just stares at me.

"*Aheeeeeem* * cough* *cough* WOW! what a nice sword you got there!

All of a sudden he draws 'his' sword.

"Listen you little sh-"

His friends or 'Companions' hold him back.

"Woah woah hey pal calm down its just a sword."

"Yeah man, he probably cheated, it doesn't matter you aren't poor."

"Yeah bro, you can buy 10 of those."

Crazy Ralph looks at his companions for a second then drops the next to my feet.

Wow, his eyes are red.

"This isn't over brat." How cliché.

He walks away while his companions follow.

Everybody starts talking.

"That kid is finished."

"Yeah... Crazy Ralph isn't famous for nothing, he's a 'Rank C Adventurer' I hear he's almost 'Rank B'."

"Well, the kid's lucky for now, if he dies all of a sudden everyone will know its crazy ra-"

"Oh my god, shhhhhhh what if someone hears you?"

I pick up the sword... This guy... what a dick, he switched his sword to a shitty one just in case I win the bet.

Well, it's not bad, it looks pretty decent. definitely better than the goblin knife. More importantly...

Fresh clothes here I come!
