《Shadowlove (Lite)》Chapter 16: Yasuline in Market Street
Advertisement
The market street was just as packed as the street that Yasu was going through, but the flow of the crowds wasn't as intense. It was much slower, as she could see many people stopping and going in front of tables with various items and interesting things laid out to be looked at.
"Ooh. What's all this?" She would say as she starts to go on ahead of the White Reaper once again and begins to go do her own thing. He didn't do much except to follow closely behind her to not lose her again.
The first table she goes to had strange accessories displayed out. They looked like jewelry, but nothing that she knew her mother wouldn't enjoy to have. Some looked to made of old bones, like the old ones that her father once had displayed within the castle, but was eventually taken out due to her mother's unappreciation of seeing it all the time in the main hall. The other objects were some varies of bracelets and rings that had strange stones that didn't look to be expensive jewels like she would see from the special merchants who would arrive at the castle to present their latest and best wares, those rings would be on silky pillows and under a glass container. All of the items she sees here were laid out so casually in comparison.
"Ah, I see you have some unique taste, my young miss." The man sitting on the other side of the table would say as he finishes selling to another individual that was checking out his wares and now puts his salesmen schtick to her.
"What exactly are you selling here, they all look so strange, but exciting at the same time."
"I say, you have quite the excellent taste if you appreciate the quality of my wares These are all good quality stuff for any adventurer or warriors worth their salt."

He snatched her with the mention of an adventurer. She knew she had to get something from him to inch her way closer to being one. Beyond the bone necklace, everything else looked to have contained a hidden power of sorts, she was unable to know why she could tell. The merchant would pick up one of the bracelets and holds it up to her. "This one is a good one. It is an element protection charm."
"Element protection?"
"Yes, you know how everyone has a life element they are linked to? Well, this will keep you taking the full amount of damage you receive from your opposing life element." Yasuline's eyes sparkle as he explained and she looks back at the bracelet.
She starts putting it on her wrist. A snug fit satisfied her with a smile. "You like it that much? Consider it yours then!" The merchant would say as he rubbed his hands together.
"Really? Oh, thank you!"
"Not for free of course, but I can put in a decent discount for you and-" Yasuline didn't hear much of what he was saying as her curiosity was guiding her to the next booth. She couldn't even hear him calling out to her as the other merchants were yelling for attention as well. The merchant would scowl and begin to leave his booth until the White Reaper passes by him rudely, and dropping a small bag on her lap. "What the?" The sound of metal coins rubbing against each other within the bag stopped him and he quickly changed his tune. "Ah, thank you. Tell your girlfriend to come back anytime!" He would cheer him on as the white reaper catches up to her.
The next booth that Yasuline visits were one with tons of papers rolled up and books. She would be told that they were all magic scrolls and spellbooks. Fascinating, but also disappointing as the merchant informed her that she would have to be at a high level or have an affinity in magic to use any of these. She then asked which is the easiest for a beginner and simply took that. Once again, leaving the booth without paying and letting the White Reaper swoop by to drop money down to calm down the annoyed merchant.

She would repeat this a few more times. Taking along a set of potions made to heal wounds and minor internal damage. Some more clothes to try out and wear as she lounges around in her room, instead of the dresses she subconsciously considers when trying to get herself comfortable and not ruin the dress afterward.
Yasuline had to get herself a bag just to carry all of the things she had purchased, or nearly stolen. The sun felt strong today, only just now she began to feel the heat get to her. She goes to sit on a conveniently placed bench and sets her bag down on the other seat. She takes the hood of her head and leans against the back of the seat. Closing her eyes for a moment, she simply relaxed and listened in to the bundle of conversations happening all around her.
"Be sure to keep an eye out for that one girl, she's been taking things without paying. Luckily she has her partner paying afterwards, but you can never know with that strange behavior."
"Oh my, thieves? As if the White Reaper's presence wasn't already dangerous enough."
"Aye, things have been getting hectic around these days. Just crazy."
"Speaking of crazy, Did you hear that one adventurer blurting out about treasure?"
"What adventurer doesn't?"
"I mean, the Adventure King didn't?"
"And yet, he has the biggest hoard of treasure of them all."
"Yau gets interrupted when she feels something cold touch her cheek, prompting her to open her eyes wide open. She sees the White Reaper holding a cup of something. The drink inside it was fairly dark in color, but it smelled sweet. She took one sip and then filled her mouth up to her cheeks with it. It was delicious, nothing like the kind of things she would be drinking at the castle, it was something completely different. "Woah, this is amazing." She would say, quickly finishing her cup, she hands it back to him and stands back up, she was ready to explore some more. She scans the booths down the road that she hasn't been to. One stood out to her, there was a young girl around her age, with all kinds of mismatched items on display. "Let's check that one out." She would say to the White Reaper, taking his hand into hers and the two walk forward.

Legend of the Seven
Humans were cast out of Eden for committing the original sin. Now Seven will answer, should Humanity live forever? But first, join Team Six in their rescue mission turned daring prison break from death. Author's Corner: Welcome to the Legend of the Seven series #LOTSseries, my Guardians.This is my first novel turned webnovel. I'm returning to this fictional world after a 6-year hiatus with a lot of personal growth and insight. Insights gained from being a lifetime reader.I was the kid who read Harry Potter and Percy Jackson. I was the new adult who read I Shall Seal the Heavens and Ark. I've lost count of how many fictional worlds I've visited and lived through for I grew up on western novels but discovered eastern novels in my college years. This is my attempt to marry those two literary styles.It's my hope that this journey becomes more than just a book. If you're reading this simply expecting an ego power trip then turn back. There'll be action but with a lot of metaphysics and discussion on life with its accompanying issues. I strive to ground and make this webnovel relatable with verisimilitude. This webnovel is about choice. Freewill and its consequences. I give my characters autonomy to do and be themselves which sometimes leads to me rewriting and replotting because of pleasant surprises from my characters. Even the character who dies within the chapter they are introduced can have a massive impact with several ripples. So, there'll be stories on love and loss, hope and despair, but most importantly, it'll be a story. Release schedule: M, W, F - I aim for afternoon (1pm to 6pm) MST. I'm working on a project, codenamed "Guides' Sanctum", to make LOTSseries even more alive with special voice-overs, extra stories, behind the scene stuff, and so much more. But it can only come online when certain benchmarks are reached. The listed goals will help us get there.
