MMORPG: Rise of the Primordial Godsmith

"Well, that took longer than I thought it would." Leaving the Boundless Skill Pavilion with a smile on his face, Valyr tossed a spatial bracelet in the air a couple of times as if it were a toy. While doing so, he took a brief glance at the new spatial bracelet he now owned, its appearance no different from any other decorative bracelet.

'In any case, that's money well spent.' Grinning at the thought, Valyr recalled back to the sudden question he had asked the cashier, not being surprised to see the cashier remain unmoving for quite some time. After all, with the place being well-known for their selection of skill books, for a customer to request a spatial bracelet was definitely unheard of.

With that kind of thought, the cashier politely declined the request at first, reminding Valyr that the spatial bracelets the pavilion gave for free was for the sake of removing the burden the customers would have while carrying the skill books they bought. In response to those words, the young man merely smiled, taking out 10 platinum coins from his purse before placing it in front of the cashier.

As Valyr looked at the cashier after that, the latter instantly knew what the former was trying to do. Nevertheless, he remained steadfast, even though 10 platinum coins was already an exorbitantly high amount of money for someone like him.

"Heh…" Seeing the man before him unperturbed in front of such wealth, he more than doubled the amount of money on the counter, increasing the total of 25 platinum coins.

At this point, the cashier's eyes widened in disbelief, feeling multiple thoughts in his mind beginning to clash with one another. On one hand, the request Valyr wanted him to fulfill was incredibly simple, with the reward he would get from it allowing him to live life carefree for many years. On the other, if he allowed the young man to achieve what he wanted, there was a high chance he might be fired from his job.

After all, as far as he knew, the manager of the pavilion was incredibly strict when it came to having its employees obey the rules. As someone who earned a lot more from the pavilion aside from his pay through its skill books, the cashier did not want to give up his position that easily.

Unfortunately for the cashier, all those thoughts came crumbling once Valyr removed all of the platinum coins on the counter and replaced it with a single platinum card. Seeing the amount of money the young man had put down, it was as if every ounce of hesitation within the cashier's mind had been removed, prompting him to head back to the pavilion's storage and grab the spatial bracelet that had largest space.

'Money truly makes the world go round.' Inwardly chuckling at the cashier returning with the spatial bracelet, Valyr allowed the former to keep the platinum card he had brought out, earning him multiple words of gratitude. Then, once he had checked out that the new spatial bracelet had more space than his current one, only then did the young man leave the Boundless Skill Pavilion.

With him obtaining his first spatial bracelet after spending a total of 20 platinum coins in the Boundless Skill Pavilion, the space within his new spatial bracelet was more than 10 times larger than it, even though the amount he spent was only five times as much.

"Hehe…" Returning his thoughts back to the present, Valyr took a look at the sky to see that there was still a couple of hours left before the sun would set. Thinking about how many items he could now store within his new spatial bracelet, the young man decided to finish off his final preparations for the inheritance by buying as much rations and potions with his remaining money.

"Ah, right. I also need utensils, a tent, and a sleeping bag." Finalizing the list of things he needed to buy in his mind by adding a few more things, it was only did Valyr start moving, returning to the inn with all of the items he had bought in his spatial bracelet just before sunset.

…

"Oh, Edward! You're back." Though he was a bit tired from walking around the entire kingdom to obtain the items he needed, a smile still hung on his face once he arrived at the room he and the other two were staying in. Seeing Edward resting in the main living area with Wells, the smile on Valyr's face only grew wider.

"Ah! Valyr!" With how long it had been since the kid had seen him, a look of joy and gratitude appeared on Edward's face as he came up to Valyr and hugged him. Unsurprisingly, the young man returned the hug back, slightly grinning as the two of them let go of each other sometime later.

"You've grown stronger since the last time I saw you," said Valyr to Edward as he wore his old spatial bracelet over his other wrist, deciding to sort all of his items out once he was alone. "From what Wells told me, you've been accepted by Elder Noel as his direct disciple?"

"That would be correct." As Edward responded in a somewhat cheerful mood, Valyr inwardly nodded with a smile. After all, in just a few days while he was away at the Blacksmith Guild, the kid's personality had undergone a massive change, feeling as if he were talking to a kid that had not gone through all of Edward's past hardships.

"Does that mean you picked up the spear, then?" Asking this question to the kid, the young man recalled the conversation he and Julian had about Edward's family. Just as he was wondering whether or not to tell the kid about it, all of a sudden, Edward flared the entirety of his aura, which made Valyr raised his eyebrows in curiosity.

"Not only that, but Elder Noel helped me reached the peak of Rank 0," said Edward in response, his expression brimming with glee. "According to him, I only need a few more days before I can ascend to Rank 1."

"Is that so?" Happy that the kid seemed motivated to get stronger, Valyr decided to take a look at the kid's stats with [Greater Analysis] after asking the latter if he was fine with it. Getting a response back that it was fine, the young man went ahead and took a look at Edward's stats in greater detail, only for him to raise his eyebrows in slight surprise not long after.

'Well, color me surprised.'

'Noel really went all out on this kid.'
