When the sun starting to rise, Johannes woke up and cleaning himself. After that, he has breakfast.
"Oh, right" Johannes realized something while eating breakfast 'Today I'm going to look for a shop selling good weapons and armor so I'll need this Modifier'
He pays 3 gold coins for another Modifier before parting to the weapon dealer.
There are dozens of weapon dealers in this city, some of them are hidden, some of them are popular and have many customers, some of them are specialized weapon dealers that will make you a strong customize weapon for a higher price.
Johannes can't afford the specialized weapon dealers, and not willing to spend more money on weapon since armor are much more important.
You can survive in the dungeon if your weapon is weak, but you can't survive in the dungeon if your defense is weak, although weird it's common sense.
First, Johannes heading toward the most popular place. Since it'd guaranteed the best quality after all.
"Welcome!" said the receptionist "Is there any weapon that you're looking especially?"
"No," said Johannes "I will be looking around a bit"
Johannes started to walk around while thinking what's the weapon that's best suited him.
'Sword would be a good choice since it wouldn't take a genius or need to practicing too much to use it'
Since you could just swing it at the monsters, and killing it. It's a good weapon to beginner similarly to a mace. Johannes looked at the price tags of the cheapest sword.
'10 gold coins...'
Just after looking at the price, he almost puked the blood. 10 gold coins! 100 silver coins! that's a large amount even for Johannes.
'Well, If it's really good then no matter the price someone would still buy it' thought Johannes while picking the sword up. 'Appraisal'
This is the new Modifier that Johannes came up with since he doesn't know anything about weapons and armor so he needs something to guaranteed the quality of the goods for him.
The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.
[ (Common) Iron Sword
Quality: 1, Durability: 2, Sharpness: 1, Weight: 2
Estimated Price: 1 gold coin ]
"F*ck!" Johannes swears suddenly.
Of course, everyone would swear if the goods are 10 times the prices than the estimated. The receptionist looked at him weirdly but Johannes doesn't care that much. He put the iron sword down while tried to stay calm.
Normally, Johannes would bargain to lower the price of this item till it hit 1 gold coin. But looking at how this shop is the most popular and he is the nobody, the receptionist would not care about whether he would buy or not anyway.
Johannes still looking around for a bit, but all of the weapons are all being overprice too much that the lowest price is twice the estimated.
Just thinking about paying twice for one when you could pay the same and get two, is hurting Johannes too much that he could die in agony.
'Don't worry, this is just the first shop. There are still dozens of it'
After that, he used all the noon and the evening to look for weapons. He could get a hand on weapons that are priced lower than the estimated, and the reserve weapon.
His choice of weapon is a mace, and the secondary weapon is a dagger and the disposable daggers. These things cost him 5 gold coins and 2 silver coins.
For the defensive, he bought a one-handed shield and a set of armor. It took 10 gold coins for this, left him with 2 gold coins, and 162 copper coins.
Now he has a full set of gear ready to dive the dungeon.
***
5 days later.
"This is your guild card. Please know that if you lost it, you have to wait a few days and pay 5 silver coins for a new one"
"Thanks"
Johannes came to Adventurer's Guild every two days. So this is the 6th day that he comes after register, and this is the first day that he received his guild card.
'This world is really inefficiency'
There are no machines in this world. Everything has to wait a few days before he could get something. There is a caravan that comes to this city every 28th day of the month, although most of the civilian would come to buy or sell their wares, for the adventurer, it's not something that important.
"So with this, I can dive the labyrinth?" said Johannes.
The labyrinth is the term of the dungeon this world's people called it. Although for Johannes, he prefers dungeon more than a labyrinth.
"Yes. And please note that your rank will reflect your strength and achievements. So if you want to raise it to receive more quest and reward, you have to dive the lower floor of the labyrinth"
Johannes said farewell to the male receptionist and came to the quest board.
'I could receive the quest about dungeon on this' thought Johannes and look at his guild card
[ Name: Johannes Vermillion, Rank: 1, Previous Profession: Normal Civilian ]
This is his guild card. Rank 1 is the lowest rank that Adventurer's guild can issue, the more floor you dived the more rank you are and the more quest you can receive.
'This looks like games'
Although this world has no level up system like a game, Johannes can't think of this world as anything but a game.
'Well, then why don't I make it look like a game whatsoever?'
