Versatile: Alternate World Chapter 17
Advertisement
Unlike the imps that attack in groups, the slimes do not cluster together and they are a bit more on the disgusting side. They don't look like a jelly but they looked like some puddle of mid that is moving around. You might even think that you have seen a walking sh*t around. I scanned the stats of the slime to make sure that none of them are Elite. Sometimes, some normal enemy looks like a normal monster. If I know there will be one, I would immediately hunt it out.
[Blob Slime]
Level 7
HP: 1000/1000
Attribute: Slime
Well, I was disappointed seeing not a single Elite. Well, that is not necessary. I am here to hunt equipment anyway.
"[Basic Fireball!]"
"[Shocking Lightning!]"
"[Ice Prison!]"
The three skills were simultaneously released on three slimes. Since its magic and my INT is much higher than normal, the slimes died immediately showing four digits damage with red color on it.
-1120
-1032
-1019
A one hit kill huh? I am not surprised but I liked what came from the logs.

The log repeated the notification three times after killing the three slimes. All of the three dropped [Copper Necklace] in which two are normal and one is rare tier. I checked the Rare Tier necklace and compared it to the Normal Tier.

Durability: 200/200
An extra effect huh. Well, that was nice. This necklace will suffice for now by myself. However, I did not equip it yet. I am not in a hasty mood to do it so I store it on my inventory. I can sell it to a blacksmith later for a few amount of copper coins.
I repeated the hunt on either the Imps or the Blob Slimes. The EXP they gave are too pitiful so I did not really think much on how much I earned. I stare at the counter of my Copper Coins as it increase slowly every kill. I also check my bag a few times and saw that I was already housing at least 40 Copper Necklaces. Only the rare tier earlier were the different one since most of them are all Normal Tier. I did not bother too much on it and decided to hunt a few more slimes to kill to raise the amount of Copper Necklace to 51 pieces.
It didn't take me too long before I got 51 of them. And during that time, I managed to get the second Rare Tier necklace with the same stat and extra skill on it. That was lucky enough. I stopped hunting and returned to the Mining Town and go to the Blacksmith. There are two blacksmiths on shift and an apprentice attending the store. They are different depending on the times of the day. Opening the door, I saw that the blacksmith is on the counter and busy at counting a few of those equipment being sold by one of the player who has a class of a Samurai based from his katana and the kimono garb on his body. From the looks of it, he is selling a Normal Tier Crude Bastard Sword that is normally dropped by level 5 Rat Pests.
"Hmmm, the quality is not bad, but not good either. I can sell it for a few price but I doubt someone will buy this. At most, I will just use this for smelting or amalgamation. This won't sell that much. At least 200 copper each," the blacksmith said.

"200 copper? Can't this get raised for a few copper?" the samurai asked.
"Unfortunately, this weapon is not a good quality so its price would be low. I can't just give you a bigger price easily. I would go lose a lot if I sold you with a high price," the blacksmith said.
The samurai hesitated a bit and he decided to give up and just let the blacksmith do the transaction. He only have 4 of those bastard sword so he got 800 copper. The samurai sighed and dejectedly left the blacksmith while the blacksmith looked at me.
"What is your business here kid?" the blacksmith asked.
I approached and looked around a bit before I stated what I want.
"I want to sell 49 copper Necklaces in full condition and Normal Tier."
The blacksmith were surprised but he quickly composed himself.
"Show me your wares!" He said to me.
With a wave in my hands, the 49 Copper Necklaces appeared in the counter and I made sure that only the Normal Tier necklaces are on the table. The Rare Tier [Copper Necklace] is still in my inventory.
The blacksmith is surprised again and checks the items one by one with curious eyes. After doing a few inspections, he finally looked at me with bewildered expression.
"How the heck did you get this many necklace?!" the blacksmith was very shocked.
"I hunt a few [Blob Slimes] earlier and they dropped these. I had no use for them so I am selling these," I said to him.
"Honestly speaking kid, these necklaces are cheap and don't sell much. Furthermore, they are easily dropped by slimes so its another downside. I hope you can understand me. I have a hard time smelting these items since they aren't weapons that can be easily amalgamated to the other weapons. Therefore, I can only offer 50 copper coins per necklace," the blacksmith raised his palm up.
"Unfortunately sir, that is just a small amount. They are not items that lost durability. Furthermore, this item isn't necessarily needed to be smelted for the weapons like sword. They can be used to make arrowheads and bullets for Hunters and Gunslingers so its not a waste. You didn't try smelting it to make it like that, no?" I said while raising my eyebrows to him.
"Arrowheads and Bullets? Hey! Why I didn't try that? There are lots of other customers looking for a good amount of bullets and arrows at this time. Maybe that would work. Boy, let me try it. I will buy one and try making an arrowhead. If I liked the quality, I would buy everything!" the blacksmith proposed.
"Alright," I nodded and hands out one of the necklace and he quickly rush towards the forge and started the smelting process.
I was aware that blacksmiths has not used this method before. In the very future, these necklaces would fork high amount of money due to the fact that it would become a necessary ingredient to make items for bullets and arrowheads. Since they didn't try it yet, then that would be a bit of time.
It didn't take too long before the blacksmith emerge again from the forge with a smile on his face.
"Kid, you really helped me solve my problem in arrowheads and bullets! Since you solved it, I would be willing to buy this bulk in 3 silver per necklace!"
"Deal!" I nodded in satisfaction. 3 silver is quite good enough for me. Since I have sold the 49 necklaces for 147 silver, I was very satisfied.
I walked out the blacksmith shop and decided to head out to the bazaar. I can now find something to buy. For the necklace in rare tier, I had something else in mind.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
