‘Alright! Let’s go and exchange meat, bones, and legs for some God’s Coins. I should be able to buy a decent sword.’
After completing the quest, he earned and learned the Shadow Escape Skill. He turned around and left towards the middle section of the village while opening his Shadow Escape Skill.

‘I guess that makes sense. It costs a lot less than my dragon twister but it only increases my speed for a certain period of time. Thankfully, there is no cooldown but continuous use would definitely empty my mana.’
‘So, I must level up these skills. Leveling up-skill allows me to use them without consuming so much mana. If I am not wrong, Shadow Escape mana consumption would decrease by one MP after level 5. And, it would take me nearly five hundred attempts to level it up to 5.’
‘Oh yeah! I can simply buy a mana restoration potion and take an entire day for leveling up certain skills. That would be nice indeed. It’s already been an hour or two since I entered the game. I only have six hours left before the next day.’
‘Let’s sell and buy things before leaving for another adventure.’
Brian went straight to one of the shops. It was called ‘Eden’s House’. One of the most popular and spread-out shops in the game. It had branches all over the virtual world. It is known for earning a heavy amount of profit.
“Hello, the customer! Is there anything I can help you with?” As soon as he entered the shop, a beautiful lady walked in front of him and smiled.
“I would like to sell something and also buy,” Brian replied.
“Yes, please!” The beautiful lady’s eyes sparkled as she led Brian to a desk.
Brian released bones, meat, and legs from his inventory that almost covered the entire desk.
“Woah! That’s a ….. lot of stuff.” Seeing those bones and meat, the beautiful lady’s eyes darken a bit. She was expecting some items rather than food. She sighed and scanned everything in less than twenty seconds.
“For these, I can only give you 25 God’s Coins.” She looked at Brian with apologetic eyes and said.
But, Brian narrowed his eyes and spoke “Aren’t you lying too much to your customer? One KG of meat costs one God’s Coins, there is a total of thirty KG which means 30 God’s Coins. One KG of bones costs two God’s Coins which would be 30 God’s Coins.”
“Although the legs of a spider don’t cost that much, it still costs one God’s Coin for ten-piece. There are a total of one hundred twenty-four pieces, which would be twelve God’s Coins. In total, it would be Seventy-two God’s Coins.”
“And, you sell them to your buyers with ten percent of profit which would be around 80 God’s Coins. Isn’t the difference too much?”
Hearing his words, the beautiful lady’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect Brian to have inside knowledge of the trade. She quickly squeezed an ugly smile and said “Sorry for lying to you, the customer. We can settle this with seventy-two God’s Coins.”
“Do you think sorry is worth forty-seven God’s Coins? Don’t think that I don’t know how many people your business has lied to? Do you know the consequences if I spread this out?” Brian asked with a threatening tone. This is life. If you have a cheat, don’t ever hesitate to use it.
This knowledge is only available to the developers and Brian exactly knows how to use it.
“No, no, no, please don’t do this! We are willing to compensate. And, we will never try to deceive you. Please don’t spread this. I will lose my job.” The beautiful lady instantly bursts into tears and bowed in front of him.
Brian didn’t expect her to use his weakness against him. He didn’t function them to cry so easily. So, he was confused and feeling a bit guilty. But, he straightened his chest and spoke “Alright, I will not spread this out but I want ten mana restoration potions alongside seventy-two God’s Coins.”
Ten Mana Restoration Potions worth a hundred God’s Coins. So, the beautiful lady hesitated for a while before gritting her teeth and taking out a pouch with seventy-two God’s Coins and ten mana restoration potions.
“I hope we can exchange more things in the future. Bye!” Brian instantly grabbed everything and left.
“I hope not! Oh god, I thought I would earn a lot by working in Eden’s House but it seems I am not completely safe. I can’t sell things at such a price anymore. The higher-ups are okay as long as the words don’t get out. But, it seems this method isn’t that safe.”
The beautiful lady muttered in a low voice and started collecting everything on the table. She knew she had suffered ninety-two God’s Coins losses because of greed for forty-seven God’s Coins.
At this moment, Brian had already left the village. He was running down the forest until he suddenly got called by some people.
“Hey, you there!”
He stopped and turned around. He saw a group of four people. One of them was a human male wearing normal white clothes, the second was a girl holding staff and the hat of a mage on her head. She was wearing a miniskirt and a purple shirt.
The third was a barbarian wearing a brown shirt and brown pants. He was holding a hammer. Next to him, there was another human holding a book in his hand.
ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ ‘Hmm! Someone actually chose Bookworm Class?’ That boy instantly got Brian’s attention. Bookworm was probably the most broken yet weakest class of all. Only humans can choose this class and once you choose it, you need to continuously read more books to widen your imagination.
Bookworms also get Magic Stat but unlike mages and warlocks, they can only use magic through their words. That’s why it is the most broken. As long as he can imagine the consequence and say the word, he can warp reality to make it happen.
But, due to such awesome power, he has one major backlash. His body must be strong enough to hold the considerable backlash in the form of gravity, pressure, or even a direct clash of mana inside his body. And, this is what makes him the weakest.
He can’t improve his strength stats like other classes. This class was so powerful that developers had to completely change the algorithm for this class alone. So, instead of his strength or vitality, his intelligence and magic improve after each level up.
And, unlike others, he can only level up his strength by reading books. Killing and leveling up don’t increase his strength. So, you must be a hardcore reader to choose this class. Developers weren’t even convinced to add this class.
“Umm….. can you stop staring for so long?” The boy instantly got shy because of his gaze and spoke.
“Oh, sorry! I didn’t know someone would choose Bookworm Class. You have guts.” Brian raised his hand and gave him thumbs-up. He was really impressed by this kid.
“Hello! I saw you returning back to the forest. Are you free for a quest?” The human male who seemed quite of his own age walked near him and asked. He had a sword on his waist and seems to be from the warrior class.
The most balanced class with the most balanced race. It is also the class with the highest potential for both worlds. But, only a few people can understand this.
“You have a group quest? Are you above level 5?” Brian was quite stunned when he asked him for the quest. Group Quests are generally hard. He can’t see their levels since they could hide them. Normally, people do not show their levels unless they are extremely high.
“Ahh yes! I was lucky enough to get the quest of Wolf Den. I wonder if you are free to tag along since this is five members’ team quest. By the way, my name is SilverTongue.” The man introduced himself while pointing at other members.
“Her name is Ms. Sherly. His is a Davestone. Finally, that boy’s name is Tempest. If we complete the quest, each member of the team will get 500XP, 200 God’s Coins, five Healing Potions, and a skill.”
Hearing his words, Brian thought for a moment and asked “Are you okay with me being level 4?”
“Of course, we are. I am level 6. Ms. Sherly is level 6. Dave is level 5. And finally, the bookworm is also level 5. You are only one level below us and who knows you might level up during the quest.” SilverTongue replied as he revealed others’ levels with a kind smile on his face.
“Alright then! Add me to your party!”
