The Tales of Draconic Warlock

Speaking of my fiance, I remembered that I brought another item when I went to look for a gift for her birthday. With the Tier-4 promotion still in progress at that time, I forgot about it. When I took it into my hand, I felt a mysterious power but I don't think the shopkeeper did.

I could say by the sly smile on his face that day when I brought it. The shopkeeper has no idea what the item actually is nor how to use it. Even then, I bought it along with the necklace for Elisha back then. Since I bought a high-priced necklace, the shopkeeper sold the item to me cheaply.

I need to check what it is and how to use it. If I can't it won't be better than a decoration piece. No, it would be far worse as it can't be even used as a decoration piece.

It looked like a scroll tube, used to store scrolls inside them and send them to others without damaging the scroll itself.

Whatever attracted me might have to do with the scroll inside. I have no idea what was inside and neither did that shopkeeper. For whatever reason he couldn't open the damn tube and see the scroll inside. It was why he decided to sell the damn thing.

Now it is in my hands, I hope that I can open it or it will become a waste and I am not a shopkeeper who sells junk.

---

Hmm, nothing works. At least nothing I could think of works on it.

The tube is sealed almost perfectly so that no one can open it. I mean I am Tier-4 and even I have a problem opening it. My attributes were far higher when compared to other people. Even my STR is better than many whose profession is a physical-based fighting profession.

So I should have been able to remove the top of the tube but I couldn't. I even used magic to break the tube but to no avail. It was tightly sealed and couldn't be opened.

Where did this exactly originate from?

If I know which ancient kingdom this came from, there is a chance to open this but that was something I don't know. There were inscriptions on the tube, but I couldn't understand them or even recognize them. Even the shopkeeper who sold me this didn't know.

The only reason why I brought this up was because of the connection I felt at that time but that disappeared after. I couldn't feel the...

Hmm...what was that?

There it is. The connection. I feel it again. I should concentrate on it and see what happens.

Cosmic Market?

What is that?

When I concentrated myself on the scroll tube, it opened a digital panel, like the status panel. Only this was called Cosmic Market.

Let's see what this is.

Hmm, it looks like an online marketplace but more magical. One can sell and buy items that they don't have through this magical market portal. I have no idea who created this but I hope that it isn't a fake. Let's test it. If this works then I don't need to worry about selling my loot secretly in the city market.

This would be very useful for me but let's test it with an item of small value to see what it can do and hope that it isn't some scam.

I took out a few magic cores and placed them in the market to test the waters. There was nothing much to do. I just have to touch the items I want to sell and think about placing them in the market. As soon as such a thought appeared, the cores disappeared from my hand and appeared in the market.

Once the cores were placed to sell in the market, they showed the price of these cores. They were sold in minutes and I got a few coins which I used those coins to buy a few healing potions, which magically appeared in the thin air in front of me.

I grabbed them fearing that they would cause fluctuations that could alert others but luckily they didn't for now. I should be care whenevee I do this again in the future.

There are many things I learned about this Cosmic Market.

The currency of the market is called Cosmic Credits. Each item has a value and when they are placed in the market, it shows to others who have access to the market. They can buy the item for the specified price.

What would the market gain?

It has to do with that specified price.

For example, The item "A" was put on the market and it cost 100 credits. The price shown to the buyers would not be 100. It would be 110 credits. After it was sold, the seller would only get 90 credits. The remaining twenty goes to the market administrator known as Cosmic Merchant.

It was all in the guide and it was clearly explained. Normally merchants wouldn't do so, as they were afraid that their profits would be too low but that was not the case here. This may be because this type of market is rare or probably Unique in existence.

If what I read was true, then the market connects a myriad of worlds. Though the specific number was not mentioned, it says that not many would have access to it, and not all worlds in existence. There was also a note in brackets "Not at this time anyway".

It would mean that they have plans to expand further than it is now.

Whether it would expand or not, I don't care. If it expands, then I would have a much higher range of products to browse from and if it didn't, nothing would change for me.

This provides me with an excellent path to sell the items that I should have in my hands.

There was only one problem with this. I have to hold the scroll tube to access the market. If I lose it, I can't access the market and the one who would get the tube would have access to the credits that I earned in the market.

So this has to be an absolute secret, like so many secrets that I kept.

The issue was that many of those secrets could be shown once I crossed the threshold of Tier-6 and reached Tier-7. There wouldn't be many that can threaten me at that point. The issue with this was, that once it was known, it could be stolen, unlike my talents or bloodline.
