Finding the Appraiser
“This is some neat handwriting, won’t you say, Ana? He seems to know this city very well.” { “He was indeed cool~. We should go meet him again~.” }In a stark contrast to the Grand Jade Avenue, Silk Lane was a narrow, shadowed alley. Its tightly packed buildings restricted the brilliant sunlight of the fine afternoon, slicing it into thin, vertical sections.We moved through the difficult allies, navigating our way in this unknown city by the handwritten directions on the note. The air in these rather clean allies were less refined and filled with the comforting smell of charcoal, old wood, and the faint, earthy scent of aging spices.‘Spices seemed to be an essential element of Jiyan. They are prominent in the east, but not this much.’The journey through these narrow streets was a grand experience of Eastern urban life. ‘I’m just realising how different this world is compared to the one I have lived in until now.’Seeing the Other Worlds on a flat screen and experiencing them th
The hooded owner
The shop, antique by name, was in fact a shrine overflowing with well kept history. Relics, scrolls, and ancient-looking equipment covered every inch of the walls and floor. A few shafts of light cut through the gloom of the room, lazily illuminating dust particles dancing around the floating piles of artifacts.My eyes instantly went to the different items floating in different displays as the small system windows floated above them, creating a dizzying reality of potential treasures and junk.============[Fragment of the God King’s Visage] (Level restriction: N/A.)— A piece of masonry from the ruins of the First Dynasty’s capital.— Properties: Emits a faint resonance with primordial earth magic.— Value: 1oo Copper Coins (Used as a paperweight).============Next to the pebble like paperweight that oddly looked a little too good, a rusty, broken lantern hung precariously from a hook, its description suggesting another forgotten history.00============[Wayfarer’s Last Light] (L
Interest of the shop owner
Miss Lin's deep blue eyes, hidden beneath her hood, instantly began to glow… shattering the shop's bizarre, dust-covered atmosphere.What I felt in that moment wasn't a reflection of that light or a trick. This was an internal, fiery energy… a pure, electric-blue light that intensified with a startling, almost aggressive speed.The air itself grew denser, turning the previously welcoming space into a charged chamber where shadows seemed to peel away from the corners and watch everything with newfound intensity.While I did not understand what was happening right now, I knew for a fact that instead of simply watching me, Miss Lin was now using her high-level Appraisal on me. I could feel something I had felt when facing the governor who had already known most there was to know about me. Even more than that, however, I felt like I was stripped naked before her endless eyes. Whatever she was doing, the method bypassed the standard player interface and system defenses, penetrating dir

“Haha, there’s not a lot of people that get to experience such things.” After telling her about the great plains, there was a new smile on her face. It was not the cold one that we had been seeing, but something more profound. She seemed to be genuinely happy that someone got to experience something like this. Even more than that, she seemed to be delighted after hearing that story. “The whole great plains were sealed off by the [Dragon] who lived there a hundred years ago. Being the pinnacle of existence, that being did not like the interference of the outsiders. From what we know, they did that after there was a big conflict with the natives of this very city which ultimately led to the lands being sealed off.”She seemed to be quite knowledgeable about history. I did not know this story about the Dragon. In the first place, the Dragons were the supreme existences in this world, the masters of powers that could only be described as natural phenomena. ‘The players have yet to
Flowers of Elemental Essence
============[Elemental Flower (Water).] (A): Material Elixir. — A flower that grows in a highly Mana dense area that has been influenced by the elemental powers of spirits. — Under the influence of the spirits that take care of these flowers, the flower obtains a unique conductivity to natural elements. — These flowers, having a unique nature, are cherished by the native species that surround the areas around them. — According to the species that tend to these flowers, the flowers gain unique properties native to the caretakers and the land that they grow on. —> Having grown in the Great Plains of Sōzō, these flowers have obtained the unique Mana properties of the plains. Additionally, having grown under the influence of a fairy species, these flowers have a deeper relation with natural elements. — The flowers possess a concentrated energy of nature. When ingested, they may increase the Mana pool of the individual explosively for a certain duration. — It is possible for cert
An important connection
“Miss Lin, do you keep the store closed on any particular day? Would it be possible for you to show us around this city and places around the city?” Now that the business was done, we were wrapping things up with a light chat. Ana was looking around the shop for something more fun to play other than her doomsday pan. She was a Pixie that can use magic skills and yet, she was more interested in physical combat than magic. “The first place you should visit if you want to improve, mister, is the [Temple of Path]. You are already at a level where you can choose a path. Delaying the decision will not be a good idea for one cursed by the divinity such as you.” The first place she was suggesting was obviously the ‘Job Assignment’ temple of this city. And she was right. Since I was already at an appropriate level, there was no need to delay the job change. I wanted to know what kind of jobs would become available to me anyway. “I was going to do that, obviously, however I want to exp
It's fine, really.
{ “Hmph! I still don’t like that!” }“We don’t know her circumstances, Ana. It’s not like we were certain about it anyway.” { “But how can she just reject a friendship! This is unacceptable!” }Since Miss Lin apologised for being added in the Friendzone list, Ana was really upset right now. Even though she had apologised, the fact that she rejected me did not settle well with the little pixie. “She was upset, you know that, right? Besides, even though we could not add her to the friend list, she gave us this, no?” On my hand right now, there was a black thread like band which was in fact metallic. It was something like a friendship band, something that she called her [Token of Friendship]. It was simple, made of a black metallic thread, finely knitted together with great precision, making a great overall outline. Among the threads, there were some blue threads in the middle section that created a strange character that I think belonged to some kind of old language… actually, ne
Dragon’s Breath Inn
The world of Nexgenesis is not as mediaeval as one might think. Yes, society is very similar to the fantasy worlds that we read in novels, but it isn’t as simple as that. The west is very close to the Western Europe medieval world, and yet the presence of magic and advanced magical technologies have birthed things we don’t see even in our original world. ‘But since we’re in the east, I should talk more about this eastern city…’The city of winds, Jiyan. There are high towers here so tall many of our higher ranking cities would fail to compare with it. The architecture itself may seem old fashioned from the outside but the eastern magic, enchantments, formations, and their technology that seem like a century ahead of our own makes this city stand out even more. ‘There are so many exciting things here…’Things, places, especially like these. “Why are you just standing there? Go in or step aside!”“Ah… apologies.”We were standing before one of the most famous inns of this city, t
Ruckus caused by the rookies
“Seems like a rookie.”“The new Pixie is young as well. She seems to be a mutant… how rare.”“The fey descendants have always been special. But…”“What’s that weak human doing with that little one?”“He’s getting special attention from Sena-nim.”“He seems so weak. Why’s he with someone so special?”“I have seen them at the City hall. It seems like they are new to the city.”“I think I heard some rumors about a human boy that came to the city from the Greens.”“Greens? The Ardent Greens?!”The rumors had already spread around the city about a boy accompanied by a Blue pixie. Also, while I did not know this when we entered the city, the reason the Pixies are so respected around here is because of the city’s founder.Lord General Jiyan of Northern Wei Province.He had a close relationship with a Pixie, one that he called his savior, someone that parishad in a war while saving his life. Since then, the pixies, the descendants of fairies, are hailed as the guardian incarnations of the s
The innocent fairy
“I see. So you came from a faraway land and are looking for some place to stay.” “Correct.” Sitting before me right now, in her mage clothes, was a young girl who, much like the pixies, seemed to be a popular idol around these parts of the city. “It’s pretty rare for a pixie to become friends with someone– Flame is obviously an exception– but just look at Sena and my Umi. As cheerful and friendly as she may seem, Sena doesn’t become friends with just anyone. Even though she has lived in this city for a hundred years, she doesn’t really have even a dozen friends.As for Umi, I’d be surprised if she finds another friend anytime soon.” Umi was the flower-like pixie that seemed to be her friend, while Flame was the red haired pixie that was with us right now. Of all four of the fairies present, only Flame was an adventurer and had an adventurer party of her own. Yes she was a party leader, as well as a High ranking Advanced Swordsman. She was a fairy, but that did not stop her from
