Because the Elite Salamander lost one of its legs it was profusely bleeding and soon died due to blood loss.

Quickly collecting the loot from its dead body I set it on fire before helping Fenrir and my Shadows to defeat the other Lizard.

With both enemies dead I started moving towards the direction of the city.

While nearing the city gate's I lifted my eyes upwards only to see my nametag was Green.

' I'll be able to enter the city '

Shrugging my shoulders I passed through the guards that were giving me suspicious looks, but still allowed to enter through the gates.

Since I've already decided where to go I turned towards the more lively street and started moving along with many other people.

I could feel many gazes aimed at my back, but I've learnt to ignore them. Suddenly I noticed that my Inbox was overflowing with various messages.

Some were questions, some threats, others various contracts, deals, I even saw a legal marriage document photo. Filtering through the stuff I also noticed some job offers, but they were very rare and the pay was not up to the difficulty of the quest.

' I should make it official that I'm a mercenary... '

While scratching my chin I quickly accessed my forum page and posted a message stating that I'll be working as a mercenary. I've also linked my Contacts, so players could send quest offers to my personal email.

After sorting out all the messages I moved my eyes to see how my video was doing. Currently it already had over 23 Million Views and the count was rising without any resistance.

Scrolling through the comments I found many who called me a hacker, cheater, undercover beta tester.

' Beta testers are not allowed to play the game... at least for now '

Closing the comment section I took a deep breath and stopped in my tracks. I've arrived at my destination.

Lifting my eyes I saw many turrets built above the entrance to the white, square shape building. Walking inside I saw many booths with red curtains covering their inside. Entering one of such booths a system window appeared allowing me to either Buy or Sell my items.

Looking through my inventory I quickly found the fruits I've collected in the Sewers. Since the First Potion was already made, the prices of Alchemical Resources will skyrocket allowing me to sell the Fruits for a way higher price than usual.

Auctioning each Pitaya at the starting price of 200 Gold Coins I felt confident that the single Pitaya's price would reach over 300 Gold Coins. Especially now, when the Fairies are trying to get their hands on every Alchemical Resource for whatever price possible.

' Better for me... '

Putting the Buyout option on 500 Gold Coins I also set the timer, so the bidding would only take an entire day in-game. After finishing all the procedures with the Fruits I immediately got messages of some placing bids, hence muted all the messages from the auction house.

Scrolling through my Inventory I've also decided to also sell Grim Reaper's Cloak.

The Item was also put on sale for a minimal price that would soon skyrocket. This time I didn't set a buyout limit, because I didn't know how much the item would be sold for. Defeating a boss this early in the game is nothing but incredible and the loot Grim Reaper's drops is probably valued very highly, but it wouldn't be like that for long.

With time more and more groups will defeat the Boss and the quantity of items like [ Grip Reaper's Cloak ] will increase making their value drop.

' Supply and Demand '

Mumbling under my breath I set the bidding timer to one day.

Looking at all the loot I still had in my inventory I felt that it'd be undervalued if placed into the auction or would sell for a small price if sold to a NPC, hence deciding to keep it until the price rises.

' I need to somehow get back the money I've spent on the car... '

Recalling my new car's price I shuddered recalling how many zeroes it had. The car was worth around one fifth of the house.

Sorting out my thoughts I moved the curtain to the side and left the booth. While walking out of the building I felt multiple stares directed towards me.

One guy even tried approaching me trying to get me to join a Guild. Of course I denied him, but being the arrogant guy he was, he offered me a duel. Seeing his arrogant face and half closed eyes I smiled at him trying to act bored. The man didn't expect me to accept the match.

Click...

Suddenly a transparent barrier covered us forcing all the people to move outside making the small area for us to fight. The guy seeing a barrier became pale, but wanting not to lose his pride stood strong... for 4 seconds.

He managed to survive the first 3 seconds, because the battle countdown would disallow any attacks for 3 seconds. After the countdown ended and the fight officially started I casted a Lightning Bolt that impaled the guy to the ground.

Before starting the Fight I noticed his pointy ears and knew he was an elf, an elven mage. I didn't know his Sub-class, but most mages have one thing in common - Weak defense.

Since I was faster I was able to cast the spell first and kill the enemy with a single Attack. It looked cool, but it's how the mage battles will proceed until both parties are above level 20 and are either able to avoid or defend against an opponent's spell.

For now mage's will fight who's the first one to cast a spell and if the spell can one-shot a person.

As the transparent barrier was dispersing all the people watching the fight made a path for me. I didn't mind it, but I hoped they weren't doing it out of fear.

' I'm 100% Friendly, Offer me a Quest with good payment! '

I wanted to shout, but my Ego didn't allow it. My pride wouldn't take it.

Walking through the moving crowd I could finally see the tower of the church. Nearing the building I noticed Eli and Eric already standing below the tree. Looking at the time I knew that there's still an hour left.

' They are early '

Looking towards them I chose to spend my time alone, efficiently, rather than in a group, talking. Shifting my body I moved towards one of the nearby NPCs. It wasn't too crowded with people, allowing me to quickly accept the quest.

I had to help a small girl find her lost cat. Since I wasn't particularly knowledgeable about the quest, I only recalled the rough location of the cat.

Not seeing any way around I took a deep sigh and started following the clues.

[ ???????????????????? ???????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????? ???????????? ]

I walked around the church avoiding Eli and Eric and found some footprints imprinted on the dirt behind the building.

I also noticed some fur and blood being scattered on the ground. As far as I recall at the end of the quest I'll have to save the cat from a wolf...

Thinking about the quest I summoned Fenrir and let him smell the blood. As soon as he did, he started walking in a certain direction while his nose was still close to the ground following the smell of the cat.

With such a method I attracted a lot of attention, but also halved the time I would've spent searching for various buildings and guessing the riddles.

In the end me and Fenrir were near the border of the city where I could hear clear sounds of fighting. Sending Fenrir forward I made sure to instruct him to keep the cat safe.

Disappearing into the street my familiar ran to complete my orders while I followed shortly after him.

Finally a Golden Wolf came into my sight. Its leg was hurt while Fenrir was blocking his way from approaching a small black creature lying on the ground nearby. I could see the cat's chest slowly rising up and down indicating that it was still alive, though barely.

Approaching the unfortunate animal I fed him a HP potion. Ordering Fenrir to keep the Golden wolf away from us I lifted the cat in my arms and started slowly walking away from the battlefield.

Since the other wolf didn't attack Fenrir also followed, after growling at his enemy.

Carrying the small creature in my arms I saw its wounds and bloody fur turn back to normal and soon the cat's blue eyes opened. Curiously looking towards my face, the cat yawned and seeing that the situation was not dangerous went back to sleep.

It honestly looked cute...

Throwing a look towards Fenrir I swear I could hear him snort as he was absorbed into the Beast Tattoo.

' He could act cuter as well '

Thinking about Fenrir my mind trailed off to Rick, my new dog.

' After this I should take him for a walk... '

Approaching the NPC I gave her the cat and completed the quest.
