Kaiden was sure that Transformation Arts wasn't suitable for him.

It wasn't just random speculation but it was his conclusion considering how long it took him to learn its Fourth-Tier Abilities even after spending a massive amount of resources in his growth.

Of course, he doesn't have anything against the Art as it helped him reach the throne before. He just wants to take a new ability that would allow him to contend against the strongest Players.

'Mhmm… I just hope that I can find that thing there…' Kaiden prayed in his heart as he needed to hasten his Awakening.

As he was walking on the streets, he found a store with a glass window where he can see himself. He has pale skin and black hair long enough to cover his ears.

'Urgh… I'm too skinny…' Kaiden smiled wryly upon seeing his face.

He's wearing a gray shirt made of a flimsy piece of fabric and as the winter is approaching, he could already feel the cool breeze…

He has a large scarf around his neck and wrapped it around his face to just below his nose. The scarf looks dirty with its maroon color but at the very least, it doesn't smell.

For a moment, he stared at himself and looked at his deep blue eyes…

It was one of the distinct features of the royal family.

Kaiden sighed as he continued his way to the market…

The place was quite noisy as there's a lot of people around at this time of the day. However, when people are seeing him, they were trying to avoid him as he seems to look like a pickpocketer with his attire.

Kaiden didn't mind this as he made his way to the busiest part of the market.

It is the place where weapons and various hunting materials can be found.

Apparently, the city's main source of income wasn't through agriculture or mining like the nearby cities but weapons trading…

This city produces more than half of the weapons that are being distributed to the whole kingdom. They have the best blacksmiths here and their current leader was said to have inherited the knowledge of a Dwarven smith.

Their Kingdom can easily win wars because of the weapons that were being produced in this city. That's right, what could the enemy do when their sword breaks after a few clashes with the sword they made here?

This is the reason why the Oberi Kingdom attained peace for several decades and could peacefully grow stronger.

Of course, it wasn't until the Players who had awakened with Craft Magic, one of the 19 superpowers, has appeared and destroyed that balance of weapons crafting.

"Found it!"

Kaiden's face lit up after seeing the weapons store… He only heard about this store from Arial as he told him the story of a certain mystical object.

He looked through the window and noticed that there's only an old man having a cup of tea and reading a newspaper inside.

Within this busy street, this store was the only one that doesn't have a single customer. It wasn't because the store doesn't have good products but because the prices here were extremely expensive.

Only nobles, rich businessmen, or perhaps those who were truly in need would dare to think of buying them…

Kaide took a deep breath as he approached the entrance.

The store has two floors and there's a sign outside made from an old slab of wood.

"The Clinker Shop"

The wooden door had a sign of "Open" so Kaiden sighed in relief.

He then knocked twice before he softly pushed open the door.

Clang! Clang!

A melodious chime of bells was heard as Kaiden entered the store.

The old man only lowered the newspaper a bit before he continued his reading…

"You can check the items displayed as you wish and call my attention if you found what you're looking for."

The old man said as he gave an impression of a carefree individual.

"Ah, Yes… I understand…"

Kaiden replied to the old man. He was just like how Arial described him to be. He applies the same treatment to any customers who enter his shop.

For now, he looked at the shelves around the store and found a massive number of mystical objects. Although he hasn't cultivated Mana to his body yet, his eyes can see that the items on the shelf were all not simple.

There were rings, books, bracers, daggers, mirrors, emblems, scrolls, necklaces, and all sorts of small items displayed…

The young boy looked at the prices they have and all of it ranges from about a thousand gold coins up to a hundred thousand.

For him who only has a couple of copper coins in his pocket, the price seems to be so out of reach.

However, he has something in his mind…

"Emblem of Fate…"

Kaiden muttered after seeing the item that he's interested in… He clearly remembered what Arial said during his Awakening Process.

This Emblem of Fate seems to have whispered the path or the ability that he should take…

In the end, he followed the whispers of the Emblem and selected the Summoning Arts in the 19 choices…

Arial didn't regret the choice as he became compatible with the Art, but it seems that after he selected it, the Emblem lost its powers as it no longer guided him in his future decisions…

Nevertheless, it would be his turn to be guided now. He'll just let Arial know that he should select Summoning Arts in the future.

Kaiden sighed as he looked at its price and description.

[ Emblem of Fate ]

[ A mysterious emblem of unknown origin found at the bottom of the Llanos Sea. It is shrouded with mystery but it brings good luck to the user. ]

[ Price: 3580 Oberi Gold Coins ]

These kinds of emblems were magical items that can be similar to a talisman… They weren't rare objects but not many would use them since a shaman's talisman was said to be more effective.

In any case, he approached the old man to make a transaction…

"Sir… I would like to have the Emblem of Fate. But I don't have money."

Kaiden said as the old man looked at the kid with an amused expression.
