”I’m sorry, I’m just thinking about my family, this equipment is pretty rare you know, this is the only piece in the city,” the man said.

“It’s not rare, it’s just old” Alex spoke, he knew what the man was trying to do, the man was trying to rip him off.

“You wouldn’t find anything like this in the city,” the man said.

“How much for this piece, I didn’t ask if I would find another one” Alex spoke with anger in his voice.

The man glared at Alex with murderous eyes before speaking, “2500 Blue coins” the man spoke and faced the other way.

“Here you go,” Alex said.

‘I knew I could rip him off, he going to pay 2500 coins for something I bought for…’

“Huh!” the man was surprised as Alex handed him the leather armor back, the man thought Alex was handing him the money.

“Wait hold on…I just said that so we can bargain…how much do you have?” the man asked.

“Hmm… currently I only have 500 coins with me, but I still need to buy other things, so let’s say 300 coins” Alex spoke with confidence.

The man’s face changed immediately, the man who was smiling as he showed Alex around was now angry and glaring at Alex, Alex didn’t care about the glare because the man couldn’t do anything.

“You know I’m just giving this out, I’m being generous, hand over the coins,” the man said angrily.

Alex handed 300 coins to the man and the man handed him the leather armor and strode back to his counter. The leather armor was very light and didn’t weigh much.

Alex could wear the armor above his clothes and still move freely, he slipped the armor into his inventory as he didn’t have any use for it now and he exited the shop.

‘The dungeon would have been filled so there’s no point in going, so what am I going to do with this time, I’m thinking…’

[Dungeon alert]

[Low-level dungeon]

The notification came in again and his map opened, the second dungeon appeared a few meters away from the first one on the map.

‘Another low-level dungeon, perfect opportunity’

Alex couldn’t miss the opportunity this time so he also ran towards the dungeon, he had nothing to fear because it was a low-level dungeon and he had decent equipment.

As Alex ran through the street a little boy caught his attention as he stole food from a merchant shop and slipped away without a trace, Alex didn’t look where he was running to and he ran into a girl.

“Ouch,” the girl shouted in pain as her butt hit the cold ground of the city.

“I’m very sorry, I’m really sorry” Alex quickly apologized then he saw the girl’s fancy dress.

“What did you just do” a large man held Alex’s collar and raised him from the ground.

Alex lost his balance as the man raised him up then he saw the girl’s name.

[Lara]

[Level 20]

[Daughter of the ruler of Melmond]

‘Shit… I’m in real trouble’ Alex sighed heavily.

“I’m really sorry, I wasn’t looking” Alex begged the man.

“Miss are you okay,” the large man asked as the maid helped her up.

“I’m fine, you can let the b-boy…” Lara stopped as she saw Alex.

‘Wow…I didn’t know a man could be this handsome from the cloths he’s wearing I’m sure he is a commoner, he’s in my debt and I’m going to make him mine’

“Miss, what should I do with him?” the large man asked.

“Ouch…my back… bring him to my chambers, why would he run around the city careless like a child” Lara spoke and walked away.

“No Miss… I’m very sorry, but I’m running because I have something important to do, Miss Miss…” Alex called but the girl didn’t answer him as she walked forward.

The large man dropped Alex on the ground but still held onto the back of his shirt in case he tries to escape, the man dragged Alex after the lady.

‘Shit, is she going to put me in Jail or what…I need to find a way out, the second dungeon would be getting filled up by now…I have to go’ Alex looked at the man and lost all hope.

[Hunt]

[Level 100]

Alex had no choice but to follow the man as he dragged him, for some reason the lady would often glance in Alex’s direction to make sure he was still following them.

The group passed through another street and Alex looked sideways and saw the city gate within walking distance.

‘Shit, I need to get out now… I’ll just”

The large man was looking forward and dragging Alex so Alex opened his inventory and brought out his steel dagger, he had no hope of killing the man and living to tell the tale so he went for something easier.

The man held the top of his collar so he carefully used the dagger to cut out the part that the man held onto making him fall to the ground.

The man noticed immediately and turned around but Alex was way faster, he quickly stood up and ran towards the gate.

“That brat…” the large man shouted without giving chase, his only offense was failing the miss, so she was going to forgive him.

“Miss, he got away” the man ran forward to meet her.

“He what! why didn’t you run after him” Lara shouted.

“I didn’t know he was that important, but miss he didn’t do anything” the man spoke in a low voice.

“Do you want to end up in jail” Lara threatened.

“No Miss” the man replied almost immediately.

“Then go find him” Lara shouted again, “what are you waiting for”

“He ran out of the city, I saw him running through the gates,” the man said with his head down.

“No…how could you let this happen, where am I going to see another boy like that, I’m going to look for him no matter what” the girl pouted and walked away angrily.
