Nameless King

Wain picked up a yellow crystal and a hollow cube with a particular cell and opened a description of these items.

[Edge Blast (Primary Chronicle, Heroic Rating)

This is a special mechanism, to use which you need to insert an energy crystal into the cube. The cube will be fully charged with energy and ready to use in ten seconds. When that happens, the thread on the cube will glow brightly with a yellow light.

After three seconds, the cube will be activated. Hundreds of rays will fly out of it, capable of seriously injuring any Primary Chronicle monster and even causing minor damage to First Chronicle monsters].

‘Not bad, it’s a pretty strong item, though considering its Heroic Rating, that’s not surprising.’ Thought Wain and looked at Sven.

Sven calmly said, “Seven Void Souls and this beautiful bomb is yours.” 𝐞𝗼𝐯𝐞𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Wain nodded, and twelve Void Souls flew out of his body the next moment. Wain decided to buy the Furious Lion Amulet and the Edge Blast. He decided not to take the scroll with the Blindness Curse since this item was not as useful as the others.

“Thank you for your purchase,” Sven said with a slight smile on his face.

Wain nodded and moved the red amulet and the cube to the Ring of Damned.

Twelve Void Souls was a significant number, but Wain was pleased with his acquired items. At their first meeting, Sven had offered to buy Wain a bomb for just one Void Soul, the power of this bomb was comparable to a nuclear bomb, but only under certain conditions.

Therefore, Wain thought the deal was fair despite the rather high price.

‘I still have four Void Souls left, I didn’t want to spend them all, but the items Sven is selling are excellent. What’s more, each of the three items was Epic Rated or higher. That’s impressive.’ Thought Wain.

“Sven, maybe as an experienced merchant you can advise me on something? I only have four souls left.” Said Wain.

“Sure, how about that?” Said Sven, and a small, green pill appeared in his hands.

Wain took it in his hands and read the description.

[Healing Pill of the Second Rank (Primary Chronicle, Rare Rating)

This pill was created by a rather experienced alchemist who has been practicing this craft for many years.

However, this alchemist is not yet at the level of the true masters capable of creating masterpieces of alchemical art.

When you eat this pill, regeneration greatly increases, and even fractures will heal in a few hours. This pill has no negative effects other than the appearance of a strong sense of hunger due to the depletion of the body’s resources during the treatment]

“How much?”

“Just one Void Soul,” Sven said.

“Hmm, that’s pretty cheap.” Surprised, Wain said and handed the Void Soul to Sven.

“Yes, after all, it’s only one pill, not a dozen or some collection of rare remedies. But, I should warn you about something. You probably don’t know about it.” Said Sven.

Wain looked at him interestedly.

“This is a Primary Chronicle pill, and the effect written in the description won’t work on you to its full potential. The reason is that you are now a First Chronicle creature and need more effective medicaments than before to heal your wounds.” Sven said.

“I see,” Wain replied succinctly. He understood what Sven meant.

Wain had enhanced regeneration because of his stats, but that didn’t mean that it would heal in half an hour if he broke his arm.

On the contrary, his regeneration slowed after he evolved and became a First Chronicle creature. Because it now required far more resources to heal his wounds.

The pill Wain had just bought would have been enough to cure an open fracture in an hour for a simple man who had not yet activated his Soul Altar.

For Wain, however, the effect of the pill was far less. His scratches and shallow wounds would heal several times faster, but no more.

Wain moved the healing pill to the Ring of Damned and was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something.

“Sven, do you have something to help me find the right thing?” Wain asked. He only had three Void Souls left, but he was sure he could buy something of quality for that amount.

“What are the terms? The item you are looking for, what Chronicle does it belong to? Do you know what the item looks like and what it is called?” Sven asked several questions at once. He was an experienced merchant and knew how to find the right item for his client.

Wain answered each of the questions in detail. Sven nodded and snapped his finger.

A small silver compass appeared in his hands, with a platinum rim. He opened it and said, “With this compass, you will be able to find the thing you need. However, this compass will only show you the direction, no distance or altitude.”

“Of course, that’s more than enough. How much?” Wain asked.

“Three Void Souls,” Sven said calmly.

Wain handed him the Void Souls and took his compass.

[Platinum Guiding Compass (Primary Chronicle, Rare Rating)

With a small amount of Soul Essence, this compass will point the way to the goal. But, only if the compass owner knows what the item looks like and can accurately describe it].

The description was straightforward. Initially, Wain didn’t think he would need such an item, but then he remembered a piece of map that had recently flown into his body.

Wain decided to spend some Void Souls but got the chance to collect the whole map. Now, when he had some free time, he could go after the other pieces, knowing the exact direction they were in.

Wain wanted to know where the huge island would appear in three months so he could get there for sure. He was sure there would be something interesting and unusual there.

“Thanks for everything. I’ll definitely be back again.” Wain said with a slight smile on his face and headed for the bar’s exit.

Sven nodded and said quietly, “You are always welcome here.”
