Walking at the familiar road Trebor was filled with nostalgia, memories was flashing from his mind one by one, starting from childhood to highschool. His life on earth was filled with sadness, his father died in a construction accident while his mother was pregnant, then her mother died from sickness when he was 8 years old, only his uncle(mother side) who supported him atleast on the age of 18 was with him. After that he was left alone with the little apartment that was given to him and with the use of his skills in gaming he earn money by selling items or helping others in leveling because of this he can get enough food and pay his bills. Arranging his own thoughts he walk down the street and stopping at the shop he look and try to remember if this is the right place.
A big sign of Dinero Computer Services, "I think this is the place where i can sell my collections and my other gadgets" having this thought he open the door and upon entering the shop what dawned on him was every high tech gadgets was on sale on this shop at the back was the sale of game accounts, you can view it in hologram mode and see what items, level and skill is the character for sale. "Looks like i'm at the right shop".
"Goodmorning sir, what would you like to buy here in our humble shop?" an curious beautiful attendant with a perky body and fair skin ask him upon standing there for 3 mins and observing the place, Trebor understood that he look like an idiot for standing and looking around without moving he scratch his head out of embarrasment "Uhm, i would like to sell some stuff here, where can i go?" hearing this words that Trebor was just here to sell stuff and upon observing that he was just a young boy the attendant immediatley change her attitude from amiable to contempt. 'Just a brat who wanted some pocket money, i thought he was some bigshot what a waste of time'. "We don't buy things that are worth less than 1000 credits, stop wasting time kid go home" hearing this words anger was bubbled in the heart of Trebor, but since his here to sell stuff he can't be bothered by a scum like this. Breathing slowly he look at the attendant straight in the eye and realising some killing intent "Don't worry miss my items are far more worth than a 1000 credits." seeing the scary look in the eyes of Trebor the attendant feel like he was being stared by the God of death. "O-o-ok go to the counter on the left you can sell your stuff there" cold sweat was poured on the face of the attendant, hearing this word he immediately withdrew his cold look and walk to the counter, breathing a sigh of relief the attendant felt that she just escape the cluthces of death. "That was scary i thought my heart was going to stop" wiping her sweat she immediately run in the personnel room to hide and wait for Trebor to go.
Ignoring the attendant Trebor notice a guy that was surfing at his phone at the cashier " Excuse me i would like to sell some of my stuff here can you look for them and their value?" the guy was startled by the sudden voice infront of him. "Owww sorry, i did'nt notice you. Im John and you are Mr?" he lazily ask. "Trebor and i would like to sell some stuff here"
"Ok Mr. Trebor show me the items you would like to sell" he asked while yawning and strentching his arms. Having wasted a lot of time in this shop Trebor pick up the basket and layer it infront of the counter. Laptop, VR helmet, Collectible Cards and many more. Seeing the stuff that Trebor wanted to sell, John's breathing became hurried. "Th-this cards are limited edition, they are one in a hundred only and this one it was a unique card and that collectible is 1 in a 10 only. Damnnnn!!! kid how did you get this things?" looking at Trebor expectantly but upon seeing his annoyed expression he immediatley look at the other items. After a round of counting and appraising the total value of the items that Trebor wanted to sell was atleast 230,000 credits. "Would you like to deposit this to your account or buy some stuff here in our shop?" John asked him enthusiastically "Wait i'm selling more stuff, i would like to sell my account in Liven Online(VRMMORPG Game on Earth) and Sword of Stars(MMORPG Game on Earth)" saying this he give a ID with a qr code to John. Taking the ID John scan it infront of the computer then Trebor write the passcode on the two accounts. Upon seeing the accounts of Trebor, John was shocked for the second time. The value of these two accounts was higher than the stuff he sell earlier. Now the credits he would earn was atleast 650,000 credits. "Uhhmm would you like to withdraw now?" hearing this words Trebor nod his head and the credits was transferred immediately. Finishing his business here he hurridly left the shop.
"Now with this money i could atleast get some weapons and armor. Hmmm i need to buy food and also medication. I think this would be enough" Feeling happy inside Trebor walk to the next shop that he would go, it was the best shop for selling weapons and armor. With his age he was already allowed to own some weapon even with a heavy firearm was not a problem but this things are not Trebor wanted since bullets cannot penetrate the skin of the monsters in the origin world, what he needed was a dagger that he could atleast use until level 10 and light armor that was made of the strongest metal.
Papa Armory this was the next stop for Trebor, entering the shop he remember what happen earlier to the Dinero Computer Services he immediately go to the cashier to avoid wasting time "I would like to buy some daggers and armor" the cashier was a woman wo look in her 25's upon hearing the request of Trebor and look at him she thought that a youngster who just wanna show off " You can choose on the shelf 25 for the daggers the price range there was 500 to 1000 credits. As for the armor they are in the shelf 50 same price range" hearing the cold words from the woman Trebor immediately shakes his head, he knows that his age right now might incite some prejudice, since when there was a 20 years old kid looking for the sharpest and durable dagger and hardest light armor that the shop can offer. "I would like to buy the most expensive daggers and armor" being taken back by the reply of Trebor the woman thought that he was just trolling and boasting but upon seeing the serious look of Trebor her senses tells her that he was saying the truth. Staring at Trebor for 5 seconds the woman got up from her chair "Come follow me at the back the most expensive items are in the back store only VIP clients are allowed to enter, if you don't mind i since this is your first time buying here because you don't know the protocol i would check your credit account if you have atleast 300,000 credits on you" realizing this Trebor show his credit account and upon confirmation that he has 650,000 credits the woman was shock to see this kind of value in a kid, if it was some old fogey she would feel that it was just right but for a kid like Trebor to have some money he became a mysterious young master in the eye of the woman having this thought in herself "I would like to apologize in my earlier behaviour, My name is Tasha i would love to know this young master's name is" bowing and extending her jade like hands Trebor was taken back upon hearing the words young master but he did'nt correct her as he was too lazy and this might help him in buying the things he want here. "Might as well have this misunderstanding with this young master background maybe i might get some dicounts" having this thoutghts he extend his own hands and shake with her "You can call me Trebor" hearing the answer of Trebor and not correcting her from calling young master she thought that Trebor just admitted his background to her " You can follow me now young master Trebor"

Hearing those words Trebor just smiled at her and followed her on their way to the back of the shop. Upon opening the door rows of exquisite weapons, guns, swords, katana, etc. was displayed on each shelf. Walking past in these things Tasha lead him on far back, there are only a handfull of weapons on the shelf that was on display, of course the prize was also sky high the minimum amount of a sword that was displayed was 200,000 credits. Seeing the prices Trebor felt that the money he have right now was so little.

Seeing the grade of the dagger Trebor was surprise because in the origin world this would be a second best item, you can get this items atleast at level 7 - 10 monsters with a low drop rate. The items in the origin world was differentiated as white grade as the lowest, then bronze, silver, gold, dark gold, diamond, sub-legendary, legendary and divine items. This was the list that was given to them upon entering the origin world, silver grade items and few gold items was the set Trebor used, for dark gold and diamond it was a luxery for people like him, the sub-legendary and legendary items was like a godlike items for normal adventurers in the origin world as for divine items he don't even have a qualification to know if these things exist or just a legend.
He was about to take this item but notices a pair of dagger on a corner of the shelf. "Miss Tasha can i take a look at those pair of daggers?" seeing the direction where Trebor was looking Tasha was taken back she immediately take the pair of daggers abd gave to Trebor for him to observe.

Seeing the properties and the grade of the weapons Trebor hands was shaken, 'this is a silver grade dagger and the secondary weapon was also a silver grade. I made up my mind i will buy this weapon, with these i can have a huge headstart in the origin world' saying this in his mind Trebor look at Tasha then he give back the two daggers to her and pretend to look for another dagger in the upper corner of the shelf. Upon observing the third dagger Trebor look at Tasha "The second daggers that i observe earlier, how much it is?" the daggers that Trebor look in here don't have any price tag unlike the other weapons with a fix value. "These metioric dagger was created from a metal that was unearth in south africa the total price for the two is 250,000. Since this is the first time for the young master i would sell this to 200,000" smiling amiably to Trebor, he immediatley nod and have the daggers ready for him like he spend 200,000 credits was a normal for him everyday but deep in his heart he was shock and bleeding 'damn this daggers worth atleast 20% of my money but they are worth it'. "Would young master like to buy the lotus dagger i can sell it to you for 300,000" hearing the price of the bronze dagger Trebor soul felt like it wanted to leave his body but laugh in his heart 'if i told her that those pair daggers are atleast worth 5x the meteoric dagger she might stab me to death hahahahaha' having this thoughts in his head he looked at Tasha and shakes his head indicating he did'nt want that dagger. "Right i remember i need to buy an crossbow" remembering the other weapon he needed Tasha led him to the Bow shelf, upon seeing the most strongest bow that was for sale in the shelf Trebor immediately add this to his bill, this cost him another 50,000 credits, "as for the bolts give me atleast 50,000 credits worth with the stringest nolt you have in this shop"

Seeing that there is nothing more notable and better than these armor Trebor also packed this and went to the cashier to settle the payment led by Tasha. Paying the stuff worth 400,000 he bought Trebor bid his farewell to Tasha to go and buy the last things he needed food and medication. "Now i have weapon and armor, all i need is food and some bandages since i can't afford to buy a potion in the origin world upon transporting there i can only rely on self medication" with the experience Trebor had he set out to his last stop a supermarket. He grab the push cart and buy things worth atleast 50,000 credits foods like canned foods, fruits, vegetables, meat, bread and beverages. Then he buy medical supplies for first aid and some bandages worth 20,000 credits. "I still have 180,000 credits what should i do to these excess money?" thinking hard for the things he still needed, perplexed by what he would do since these money would be meaningless
"User would you like to convert your credit money to shadow points? the conversion rate is 100 is to 1?"
Hearing this suggestion from the system, Trebor was happy since these thing was useless to him might as well convert to shadow points. "Convert them all"
"You have earned 1,800 shadow points!"
"Nice, i still did'nt check the shadow shop, i will look into it once im home" saying these Trebor walk back to his house excitedly, he can't wait to equip his weapons and armor. He also wanted to check the progress of his shadow that was leveling right now. Having these thoughts he hurried his footsteps trilled by the feeling that he was getting close to his goal.
