'Fire manipulation.'
In other RPG games, you usually gain skills related to the element, however, in the arcane universe, the Skill is to manipulate the element itself. The player's proficiency determines how good he is at manipulating that element and what it is possible to do with it. You are not limited to a single skill.
'Magician guild…' Aizen knew very little about magic, so he decided to visit the mage's guild. Maybe he could get some books?
'Well, let's get some new clothes before that.' His clothes were worn and dirty.
-
After buying new clothes, Aizen headed towards the Mages guild. His clothes were basic, just black clothes. The only new thing was a hood to hide some of his face.
-
A few minutes later, Aizen arrived in front of the wizards' guild building. The building wasn't quite as luxurious as the merchant's guild building, but it had a more majestic feel.
*door opening*
Aizen joined the mage guild. The inside of the guild is very similar to a library.
"Good afternoon, how can I help you?" A young clerk greeted Aizen.
"Well, do you sell books on magic?"
"Yes. Basic books are 1 silver coin. Advanced books are 1 gold coin."
'Eh…' Aizen didn't know the books would be so expensive.
"I'll take some."
Aizen went to the library and got some books. Advanced magic control, advanced fire manipulation, and mana shield. There were not many options, he was a little disappointed.
'I need to find a place with more books later.'
"I'll take these."
"OK."

Aizen paid the young man and was about to leave, but he saw something interesting.
"What book is that?" He was curious about the book that was on a shelf separate from the others.
"Where-ah! That book is a little special. It will be given to the person who manages to kill the Lizardman King."
"Lizardman King?
"A Lizardman tribe escaped hunters and moved to inhabit a dungeon that has recently emerged in the north of the city. The dungeon was occupied by lizardmans. And a lizardman King eventually emerged. This is causing problems for people, so the guild decided to give away a special book for whoever manages to kill him."
"I got it, thanks." Aizen was tempted to go in that dungeon. Players will probably figure this out shortly, so he didn't have much time.
'Well, I better prepare myself first.' He would read the books and understand a little more about magic.

red obsidian
Current bid: 3.5 gold coins
"Shit! Where are these guys getting so much money?" The woman picked up her beer and took a sip. She was a little frustrated.
"They're using up all the reserves. Probably Pegasus will win the auction." The young man in glasses said.
"Tsk! Those bastards! Did you contact that merchant?"
"His profile is almost anonymous. Messaging is also disabled."
"Well… let's see the result. Looks like the auction is about to end."

auction closed
Winner: Pegasus
-
The forum became agitated when Pegasus won the auction. A big guild had a lot of power. Not all guilds participated in the auction, as many were in other countries and continents. The auction took place in the city of Inaross, but players who were in nearby cities could also bid.

Some players thought Pegasus' choice was dumb. Why would they use all their money to buy an item when a better item might come along later? However, what these players didn't know was that Drops weren't that easy to catch. The Drop system of this game is very well planned, rarely drops a good item. Players would have to spend a lot of time grinding and be lucky to get a good item.
In addition to all this, Pegasus…

"Hahahaha!... We…we won!" The Pegasus leader looked at the headless body of the Orc King under his feet. The Red Obsidian in his hands managed to cut it without much difficulty. They earned 5 gold coins, which made up for the money spent on the sword. In addition to earning Boss' loot: 2 rare items, some unusual items, and 2 gold coins. Boss' first kill will always give the best drops. The Pegasus guild had triumphed. Fame and honor are very important, they just didn't know it yet.
"Hahaha!"
-
"Shit!" The woman punched the table hard. She knew. She knew that if Pegasus took that sword, they would go after the Boss. Novice players may be naive, but she isn't. She knew that rare items are hard to get, let alone an SR item. Even though she was the leader of a big guild, she only had 1 rare item.
"Leader… the situation will be complicated going forward." The young man with the glasses commented. Pegasus had gained a strong momentum.
"...We'll get it back. After all, we are the Hunters." She was the leader of the guild and would need to motivate its members.
'I, Amarys, will rebuild this guild.'

Tower of Somnus
When humanity first encountered alien life, we were judged and found wanting. The Galactic Consensus interviewed our leaders and subjected us to a battery of psychological tests to determine our progress as a society. They found us to be selfish, wasteful, impulsive, and boorish neighbors. Earth was blockaded and our collective encounter with our extrasolar neighbors rapidly faded from memory. All they left behind was a hypercomm relay and a handful of subscriptions to a massively multiplayer game that participants played in their sleep. The Consensus said that it would let us interact with our neighbors in a controlled setting. That it would teach us to be better members of the galactic community. The megacorporations that controlled Earth ignored the game until they learned that the powers earned from clearing dungeons were just as real when day broke. Magic, supernatural abilities and rumors exploded from nothing and a subscription to The Tower of Somnus became a status symbol. Katherine ‘Kat’ Debs doesn’t have much, but it could be worse. Born in an arcology, she was assigned a job in the megacorporation that raised her almost as soon as she could work. Despite the stability of her corporate life, she wanted something more. A chance to claw her way up the rigid social and financial ladder to make something of herself. A chance that wouldn’t come naturally to someone as familiar with dark alleyways and the glint of steel as she was with office work and corporate niceties.Book One is up on Kindle Unlimited as of 7/6/22 - https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0B2X3L8H5
