《Arcane Universe[AU]》Ch 2: Merchant

Merchant
After standing on the plain for a few minutes, players were teleported to a random city by the system. Aizen ended up in a town called Inaross, which is a city with a medieval style.
'People here are so real…' Aizen saw NPCs talking to other NPCs just like people. Players ran through the streets in search of some mission.
"Ma'am, do you want me to do something for you?"
"Young man, why are you so excited?" Her were confused by the mood of this player. It wasn't just this lady. Other NPCs were also confused when they saw so many players making requests. They didn't know why these people liked to fulfill orders.
'They don't seem to understand our existence. Why do they ignore the fact that so many players show up out of nowhere in town?' Aizen thought.
'Why am I questioning? They were created that way.' He shook his head at his stupidity.
Aizen continued walking through the streets. He liked to watch the scenery. Several children, young people, and adults passed through the streets. Many were happy, others dismayed. The NPCs' facial expressions were so real that it was impossible to distinguish them from a normal human.
'Missions…'
Aizen logged into the game's forum and checked player posts. The game forum was extremely active and many people were sharing their experiences. You could access the in-game forum, record scenes, etc.
FORUM:
>Support Guilds | Hot topic☆
Aizen became interested in this topic, so he clicked.
>Hi, my name is Haz. I'm a player who likes to explore. I'm posting this thread to explain to players about support guilds. Support guilds are guilds made by NPCs to help players. There are several support guilds and each one is related to a profession or a game mode.

>The Haz player has uploaded images.
Aizen looked at the images Haz had uploaded in the thread. The images were about the guild buildings. Haz managed to find several guilds, among them are: Mages Guild, the Alchemists Guild, Merchants Guild, Blacksmiths Guild, etc.
Haz managed to find more than ten guilds. However, despite finding several, he still hasn't come close to discovering them all. It just showed how big the Arcane Universe is.
'Merchant Guild.' That was his goal. Aizen closed the thread and went looking for the Merchant Guild. The city that Haz had started wasn't the same city for every player, so they would have to look it up on their own.
Aizen asked some NPCs for the location of the merchant guild. After a few minutes of walking, he arrived in front of a giant building. The building was luxurious with various ornaments all around. More than 40 floors. Several people entered and exited the building.
Aizen entered the guild building and headed towards the balcony.
"Hi, how can I help you?" A woman greeted Aizen politely. She was the receptionist.
"Can I join the Merchant Guild?"
"Do you want to be a merchant?" The woman looked a little surprised.
"Is there a problem with that?" Aizen frowned a little.
"No. It's just that you look so young. Are you sure about that?"
"Do not worry about it."
'This NPC cares about people.'
"Alright, enter your details on this card, in the meantime, I'll explain about the Guild to you." The woman handed Aizen a card.
"Well." Aizen took the card and began filling it out.
"The merchant guild acts as a means for merchants to sell their items and conduct their business, play the role of mediator during transactions, as well as providing support in sales. (...)"

The woman explained everything about the merchants' Guild to Aizen. The rules are simple and easy to understand. Any RPG player would know about traders.
"Here is your card. Merchants are classified into five levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Ruby. This card is valid on the entire continent of Vloyix, but it may not be valid on other continents. Be careful."
◥ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◤
Aizen LightStar
Age: 15
Profession: Merchant
Rank: Bronze
◥ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◆ ▬▬▬▬▬▬ ◤
"Thanks." Aizen thanked the woman and left the Guild.
【Congratulations, you have acquired your first profession. A random feat will be awarded】
"Huh?" Aizen looked at the message that appeared in front of him. He had already read about it. It appears that players are given a random feat when choosing their first profession.
'Infinity Inventory'
-Your inventory has infinite capacity.
If Aizen had his mouth watering right now, he would spit it out. He never thought of getting something this good at first. The players' inventory was limited, so they would have to empty them quite often. Now he had gained infinite inventory.
'This is perfect. I won't have any problems with the goods.' Even though he hadn't gained any combat talents, he was excited.
'Excited…' It's been so long since he's been excited about something.
'I should find a mission.'

Magriculture
When Aurum Industries announced the first Full Immersion Virtual Reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (FIVRMMORPG if you're hip) Limitless Online, most people saw it as an opportunity to live out their sword and sorcery fantasies. John, however, saw it as the opening of a new and as of yet uncrowded job market. One he was willing, and eager, to exploit. Determined to make money through virtual hard work and effort, John sets his sights not on the heights of magic or the perfection of the sword, but instead upon the tilling of the soil and the sowing of seeds as he explores the wide and wonderful world of magical agriculture all from the comfort of his own bed. Disclaimer: This is, at best, a very rough draft. I have already had to do one major rewrite and several minor rewrites of entire sections of the story, and it is a virtual certainty I will have to do re-writes again. Such changes may be as small as editing a few numbers (such as going back and changing how much mana an object holds) or it may force me to re-write entire chapters (this has happened once already, and I'm really hoping it doesn't happen again, but... life). Minor re-writes will probably never be posted here. Major rewrites probably will.Anyway, what this boils down to is: If you're looking for a fully cohesive story with few to no errors and publisher level editing, this is not the story for you. If your looking for a cohesive plot that's more than "Man farms, man farms, man farms well, man maybe makes money" you're probably also in the wrong place, but I will attempt to entertain you anyway.

A D&D Gamer in Garweeze Wurld
He doesn't know how he got here, and while the trappings are familiar, he doesn't actually know where he is, either. From the perspective of those around him, Duromar is a half-ogre barbarian, an uncivilized brute by any standard you care to use. But from his perspective, he's a character created in a gaming system. From either one, he must live within the rules of that system. This is the story of a gamer who ends up in a game that's just a bit off from what he knows. ---- I wanted to write something a little bit old-school. Most of the LitRPG I've found seems to be based on computer RPG styled stories. Progression through levels is fast, and depending on the game, skills and even attributes can be trained with or without class levels. This wasn't true with the older pen and paper games, and that's the style of leveling I wanted to write.
