Chapter 21

After breakfast, my parents immediately headed towards the vegetable store that they ran .  The two of them normally left at 5 a . m, so they were quite late today .

'They are late because of breakfast with their son . '

I suddenly felt that tsunami of emotions again as tears filled my eyes .  It was the first time my stomach felt so full in a while .  

I sat on the couch and dozed off, before waking up because of Sehee .  Sehee had changed into her school uniform and looked like a neat schoolgirl .  She was my sister, but I had to admit that she was beautiful .

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I'm glad to see you . You grew up well . "

"W-What are you saying all of a sudden!?" Sehee flushed red before hitting my forearm .

'What? Did I do something wrong? But what is this cool feeling?'

I felt some relief in the area that Sehee had hit . It was like a massage!

"Ahh, good! Hit me more! More! Keep hitting . "

"Kyaaak! Pervert!"

Slap!

…Why did she slap me all of a sudden? I placed a hand on my tingling cheek as Sehee shouted, "I’ve filled up the tub with hot water . Then your body will feel better . This perverted Oppa!"

"Ah, eh, yes…"

She was someone who got angry at me but always took care of me .

'But why am I a pervert?'

Sehee headed to school while I soaked in the hot water .

"My fatigue is going away . "

Then after a few moments…

I exited the bathroom and paid the loan interest through a direct account transfer . It was hard to bear seeing the money from my blood and sweat disappear before my eyes .

"Ugh… This world is hell…"

I needed stability .  So, I hurriedly entered the capsule and connected to Satisfy .

'How much have the arrows sold for?'

"Login . "

Jiing .

The capsule's door closed, and my field of view slowly turned black . Then the familiar system voice and music entered my eyes, then my vision brightened again .

"The air is good . "

I appeared in a place which reminded me of a charming village in medieval Europe and immediately stated a command, "Status window . "

Class: Pagma's Descendant

* The probability of adding additional options when making items will increase .

* The probably of item enhancement will increase .  

* All equipment items can be worn unconditionally .  

 However, there is a penalty depending on the rating of the item .  

Title: One who Became a Legend

* Abnormal conditions don't work well for you .

* You won't die when health is at the minimum .

* Easily acknowledged .

Health: 336/336    Mana: 87/87

Strength: 24 + 5   Stamina: 22   Agility: 16  Intelligence: 29 

Dexterity: 55  Persistence: 21

Composure: 14  Indomitable: 16   Dignity: 14   Insight: 14

Stat Points: 60

Weight: 3,095/1,000

* The weight limit exceeds 200%, so movement speed is reduced by 100% .  

The body is heavy and cannot exert any power properly .  

The probability of receiving the 'weakened' state has become really high .

"Level 3… Huhu, is that really the case?" 

My stats had increased by making an epic rated item . Considering the 60 stat points which I hadn't used yet, I was actually around level 26 .  If I equipped Mamon's Greatsword and Mengel's Plate Armor, I could demonstrate the combat power of a level 50 .

"Is this the feeling of superiority that only a special person can feel? Huhuhut…"

In a square filled with people, I forgot the harshness of reality as I talked excitedly to myself . Then with one hand on my hip, I laughed like the protagonist of a movie .  The women passing by sent me dirty looks and gossiped with each other .

"What is with that person? Striking such a strange pose and laughing while talking to himself . "

"Is he on an ego trip? Perhaps he has the prince disease?"

"He is ugly . He probably doesn't have a lover . "

Normally, I would be unhappy, but right now, I was so thrilled that I didn't care about the gazes of others .  I ignored what they were saying and checked the experience of my various skills .

[Legendary Blacksmith's Craftsmanship Skill] Lv 1 (3 . 7%)

[Legendary Blacksmith's Breath] Lv 1 (2 . 0%) 

I'd thought it would take longer for the experience of these skills to rise .  

'Is it thanks to making an epic item?'

I headed to the auction house with a light heart .  As usual, the auction house was bustling with people .

"I wonder what the winning bid is…"

The price for one Jaffa Arrow was six silver . However, the Jaffa Arrows I'd made had an epic rating! I expected the price to be 3~4 times higher .  

In the case of general equipment items, it was reasonable to calculate that rare-rated items would be three times more expensive than normal items, while epic items would be seven times more expensive than normal items .

However, I soon became worried .  Would even a rich user want to spend so much money buying arrows? In the first place, consumables were cheap compared to equipment items .

'Yes, don't expect too much . '

I opened the auction window while thinking that I would be satisfied if they sold for double the price .  Then…

"K-Keok…!"

After confirming the bidding price of the Jaffa Arrows, I couldn't shut my mouth .  Meanwhile, I could hear the voices of the women looking at me .

"Isn't he that person laughing to himself in the square? Oh . my . What is he doing now? His mouth has fallen open . "

"Kyaaak~! His saliva is dripping! Nasty!"

"Ugly… He must have no lover . "

"Argh… Uhhh…"

I tried to shut my mouth, but it wasn't easy .

[Special Jaffa Arrow] (99 Pieces)

[Bid Price: 72 silver per piece . ] 

It sold for 12 times the price of ordinary Jaffa Arrows!

"Eh…uh…aack…"

I touched the inventory with trembling hands, then I took out the calculator which was a default item provided to all users .  99×72=?

"…7,128…"

100 silver was 1 gold .  7,128 silver meant 71 gold and 28 silver .  For reference, 100 gold was worth around 120,000 won in cash .

'Didn't I create 100 arrows in around a day?'

It was approximately a day in game time . If I calculated it in real time, I'd earned around 84,000 won in less than six hours .

"Ha…hahaha…"

I was thrilled .  Uncontrollable laughter emerged from my mouth, "Puhahahahat!"

"T-That person has finally gone mad!"

"Ugly! He definitely doesn't have a lover! His mother must be the only female contact in his phone . "

'Cough, do their words have to be so sharp?'

No, I wouldn't be shaken by these females .

'Talk in your hearts . ' 

At this moment, I could still smile even while hearing such shameful words .

'I can see a definite way . '

Debt?

"I will pay it back in the game!"

There was no need to go find labor jobs . It was more profitable to make money from the items I create in the game .  Indeed, Pagma's Descendant was definitely a goose that lay golden eggs .

I formed a fist and shivered, while the auctioneer at the counter handed me gold and silver coins .  However, why was the amount of money lacking?

"Why are you only giving me 60 gold and 59 silver?"

The auction house manager smiled at my question .

"The amount is limited to 10 gold and 69 silver because of the sales commission . There is a 15% sales commission for epic rated items . Thank you for using our service . "

The commission fee was 8% for normal rated items and 10% for rare rated items .  Compared to that, the sales commission for epic rated items was too expensive .

'How much is the commission fee for unique or legendary rated items?' 

Suddenly, the auction house and Mother's Heart is Happy seemed to overlap .  Exploitation was the same in reality and in Satisfy .

"Shit… I will become a successful person who exploits the weak…"

I would produce legendary items which weren't possible for anyone else except Pagma's Descendant! The two billion users in Satisfy would be overwhelmed!

"But that is a story for the distant future . Ugh!"

Tears flowed as I thought about the 15% commission . This was because the day before, I hadn't been able to open a stall because I'd needed to go work, so I had decided to use the auction house .  

Once I got the money, I thought about whether I should take the carriage to Winston Village or not .

'I can stay here and make a lot of money with the Jaffa Arrows, so do I really need to move villages?'

I was trying to move villages because I wanted to find a suitable hunting ground .  However, I didn't need to cling to hunting and leveling up, when I could make a profit by making items .

'It would be good to just stay here and make items all the time…'

However, there was one thing I had to consider .  It was the fact that Smith was gay!

'If I stay here alone with him… Just imagining it was terrible . '

I wasn't in a hurry to hunt now, but I would be more comfortable living in a village suitable for my level .  In the end, I decided to move to Winston as planned and headed towards the carriages . Just like last time, I started negotiating the price while armed with the saddest stories .

"My ailing sister is waiting for me in Winston Village…"

"Oh, no! Then I will leave one hour early . Climb into my carriage!" 

"But right now, I only have seven gold…"

"Oh, I thought you were a customer with a reservation . I'm sorry . "

My first bargaining attempt failed!

"My grandmother died the day before I was born, and her death anniversary is today . I needed to go to Winston Village right now, but I only have 7 gold and 50 silver…"

"Um, I want to help you because of your high reputation and your situation, but it is too much of a loss to visit Winston VIllage for 7 gold and 50 silver . I'm sorry . "

My second bargaining attempt failed .  It was the same as humans constantly stepping on other humans .  

"You should give me a choco pie, ah, these people . You should realize that we are all the same!"

In the end, I failed to negotiate the price I wanted, but I got on the carriage that was the cheapest .

"Let's depart for Winston . It should be a quick and safe trip, considering the money I paid . And be friendly! You should show full hospitality . "

"…I will be very grateful if you didn't talk . "

Travelling always made people excited .  The bumpy carriage ride and the unfriendly attitude of the coachman were bad, but my mood was good .
