Chapter 738: Entrance of a Third Party
Translator: Dess Editor: EbonyFrost
Meanwhile in the study room at Augen Manor.
Anne Aldrich Augen hung up the phone while slightly sneering and saw Kieran come in.
Though, her questioning eyes were instantly filled with unusual colors.
She saw Kieran take out three items from his backpack and place them on the desk before her.
They weren’t any legacy items nor could they be considered as powerful items but still, they had special powers in them.
As long as she could decently utilize them, whether she would trade them for a high price or get herself some decent benefits, it would be a great choice.
It made Anne Aldrich Augen’s last bit of unpleasantness fly away instantly.
She kicked off one of her heels and climbed onto the table like a cat, sticking her beautiful face in front of Kieran, saying softly, “Do you need anything? Your business partner is at your service!”
The fragrance that entered Kieran’s nose made him move back quietly.
As time went by, Kieran was used to the way of doing business with Anne Aldrich Augen, especially when he had a special request.
“Weapons, same as last time but I need it to be sturdier!” Kieran requested.
“Even sturdier? You are really in some good luck, during normal times the greatsword from before was already the best I could do, but now? I’ve become the woman that everyone competes to flatter, just now a certain friend of mine from the past gave me a phone call, trying to test me. I believe that if I reveal just a tiny bit of interest in it, he will give his best effort in finding you a suitable greatsword.”
Anne Aldrich Augen didn’t have the slightest intention of holding back on her “certain friend”.

Kieran even clearly sensed some displeasure in her tone.
“Don’t forget your plans.” Kieran still reminded her just in case.
“Don’t worry, I won’t risk the big one for the small ones. Those men who had decided to meekly accept humiliation, wouldn’t it be logical that they would become the traitors? But If I don’t fully utilize these traitors, it would be such a pity!”
Anne Aldrich Augen hid words within her words. Kieran shrugged.
Although both of them were already on the same side, towards Anne Aldrich Augen’s encounters, Kieran couldn’t truly empathize with her so he thought he didn’t have the right to speak.
Kieran already gave his reminder and he believed Anne Aldrich Augen’s wisdom and decisive means would create a solution to things.
In fact, she did. On the second morning, not only had Kieran gotten the weapon he wanted but an extra piece of good news also came from Anne Aldrich Augen.
[Name: Elmerius Sword]
[Type: Sharp Weapon, Heavy Arms]
[Rarity: Rare]
[Attack: Strong]
[Attribute: Elmerius’s Persistence]
[Effect: None]
[Prerequisite: Sharp Weapon, Heavy Arms (Pro), Strength A for two-handed, S- for single handed.]
[Remark: According to legends, Elmerius was a hero with the blood of the giants, the sword that he wielded with one hand was a two-handed greatsword in other’s eyes. It is heavy, sharp and very sturdy!]
…
[Elmerius’s Persistence: Increase authentication advantages by 3 when using the greatsword in a defensive stance, and both sides will undergo Strength authentication. When wielder’s Strength is stronger than the target, the target will receive an Average level damage]
…
[Elmerius Sword] had the extravagant designs of a two-handed greatsword, the blade was wider than a man’s waist and the thickest part of the body was at least 10 cm.
When the sword was put straight up, the blade body was as tall as Kieran and the additional weight at the hilt was taller than Kieran’s head.

[Elmerius Sword]’s weight fit its extravagant design as well.
A rank Strength was required to wield it with two hands and S- to wield it with one hand.
It would be a luxurious hope for Kieran to wield it with one hand since all his attributes were decreased by 3 but it didn’t affect his joyous mood.
Originally, Kieran only held the thoughts of recycling useless items, trying to fully utilize the useless items he had gotten recently in order to maximize his profits.
During the fight with the three fighter bodyguards of the governor, only one of them dropped a valuable item and the other two only dropped low tier Magic items similar to the Saint Relic Association executive.
Using three low tier Magic items with additional attributes like level 1 Tenacious, Guard and Silence in exchange for a Rare weapon was completely out of Kieran’s expectations.
Regardless of how he looked at it, the deal was extremely worthwhile.
Though Kieran wasn’t blinded by the joy.
“Everything went well?” Kieran asked.
“Of course… They are inside the plan now. You are worrying about the greatsword’s value? 2567, from a certain perspective you are really smart but in others, you are nothing but a fool. Three magic items plus priceless information in exchange for this greatsword that only few can wield, if it wasn’t for old times sake, how could I finish the deal? I think the guys are rejoicing now because I still remember our old friendship.”
Anne Aldrich Augen charmingly laughed gloatingly.
Though, her face didn’t have the slightest expressions of joy.
Her ice cold eyes were filled with killing intent.
She held the diner knife in her hand and stabbed it into the toasted bread smeared with jam as if she was stabbing those men she mentioned.
Ding!
The metal diner knife clashed with the porcelain plate, producing a clear noise.
No doubt she gave it all her might in that stab and since she didn’t control her strength the round bottom plate flew off together with the toasted bread.
There wasn’t any sound of the porcelain plate breaking nor the dirty scene of food being thrashed occur.
Kieran appeared beside Anne Aldrich Augen without her knowing and caught the flying plate and food.
He placed it back before her face as if they never moved.
“The food is innocent,” Kieran said.
“Em, they are, I’ll finish them all and… My dear Mr. 2567, will there be any rewards after this?”
Anne Aldrich Augen winked at Kieran in an extremely affectionate manner.
“Liz Dandon sent me a message, I need to revive the Griffin Church before the people’s eyes. I’ll ask Mayer to take care of your safety for the time being.”
Kieran walked away after he finished without being charmed by her affections.
Anne Aldrich Augen saw Kieran’s back moving further away, she was upset and wanted to smash the plate on the floor but when she saw the food on it, she hesitated.
“I’ll smash you when I finish!”
Anne Aldrich Augen angrily shouted at Kieran’s vanishing back.
It was natural that Kieran wouldn’t give her any reply but someone else saw the scene.
Then, message after message flew out from Augen Manor.
Kieran who left and Anne Aldrich Augen who was eating breakfast knew nothing about it.

YAOS 1 - Limitless Adventures - Yet Another OP Story Book 1
December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and at Amazon. December 30th 2018: V1.1.2 of YAOS Book 1 is out, some content additions, fixed typos. Amazon's enhanced typesetting now displays tables properly. YAOS is shown through the eyes of some genius athlete getting OP inside a VR, ah wait, Full Immersion game, ?F.I.O?. Not a Hero, not a Nerd, just a driven individual paying for mistakes made, biding time until he can return to the Real World. He isn't defined like you'd normally do it, you can pick his looks and name all on your own, just like you do in video games. Believe it or not, keeping his looks undefined is harder than you think. His backstory isn't expounded in detail, but it drives his choices. Book 1 isn't about depressing sob stories but about fun and rushing forward, pursuing new horizons. Oh, and you'll end on a cliffhanger! Well, most serials do, so you will probably expect that without being told explicitly. But it isn't that bad, there's a lot of reveals and more to come once this book, that is the first in a planned three-part series, is finally ready for release on amazon et al. The published version will have: 1.) Godawful speaker tags, I hate them, they make you stop thinking and speed up editing so much. In hindsight they should have been in to begin with. But I stand by my goals proclaimed earlier. You guys should think while reading, that is the whole point of the exercise. Apply the knowledge and ideas, improve yourself, get creative! 2.) Pretty colored tables, the damned blue boxes, a lot of work, 69 in one book. Finally fixed amazon's centering issue. Can't say I liked the hours needed to debug that. 3.) The promised Mitara chapters. 4.) A cover! 5.) And lastly, updated polished versions of several chapters. MC shares more of his past, some terrible chapters (esp. 32) finally work. Some new scenes, minor rewrites in parts. Text flow and other issues. The current challenge is to maintain essential ambiguity while satisfying people wanting to know more without thinking three steps ahead. Balancing one with the other is tough. The smut which was in remains, but the story told is not to be superseded by it. A 15+ rating for the first book is also important, not to mention, YAOS wasn't meant to contain any smut to begin with. If the Author can turn to writing full time his output should increase, so please support YAOS #1 once it does finally release. ~Thank You~ No maps so far, that should be in, but is really hard to get done right. Again, tips are appreciated. Update September 2017: Stubbed chapters, sorry guys, currently don't have time to upload them elsewhere, polishing book 1 and 2, writing 3, takes precedence. Book 1 is in heavy editing, too much to keep synced and continuing editing. I'd need a site which offers JS-free rapid managing of chapters and comments. Coding one myself or setting a premade up is out of scope until I'm done with the books. RRL-old offered that, nuff said. This is only here because the author believes in fairies, nobody reads this, most likely. October to December 2017: Life threw some curveballs. February 2018: Book 2 draft 1 completed, at ~150K words. Book 2 is fairly epic in scope, requires 1 rewritten chapter, some editing. Tables and miscellanea are in, but needs at least a grammar pass. March 2018: Book 3 at 28k words, first arc, rest needs serious planning for spin-off and satisfying conclusion. July 2018: Yet another proofing/editing session of books 1-3, 101+ chapters, ~300k words. B3 at 48k, starts out great, but no ETA, no wordcount limit, in flux. But prioritizing my writing cannot be done, I hate the delays as much as you, but you will prefer the whole released in a timely fashion rather than wait. Knowing myself how excruciating waiting can be, at least you'll get significantly polished versions and an ETA on book 2 by release of book 1. December 23rd 2018: Book 1 is now up at Smashwords and in the process at Amazon et. al.. . To all who wait patiently, offered feedback, thanks again!
