Chapter 14: My New Toys: Part Two

“Well, looks like that went without a hitch. With this I’m sure I won’t be some suspect of a murder case so the only thing I have left to worry about now is the Reinhardt Family after they learn about Zeke’s death, or more specifically, the Family Head. If the Head of the Reinhardt Family is exactly the same as his son made him out to be, I doubt he’d, that’s if he loves his son, let it go as a simple ’oh, well, my son got cocky, entered a Dungeon and died as a result, no biggie’ type of issue. Now I know I don’t have to worry about the orphanage since old man-Gam is there but I specifically need to be on high alert. At this point, even assassination is a possibility.”

I kept driving as I thought about my next move.

“Now then. Where should I go? The Warriors Association to sell some Mana Crystals? Neh, I’m in no rush, I still got a considerable amount of money in my account saved up from my two previous jobs, besides, I couldn’t sell any of them anyway without arousing suspicion. ’How did an F-Rank defeat E-Rank monsters!?’, they’ll say. They’ll probably even think I stole them. On that note though I *can* sell the Boss monster’s Mana Crystal, since it’s about to be known that I cleared the Dungeon by “luck”, it’d make sense if I had it, right? I’ll sell it after I refresh myself, it’ll be ten thousand since it’s D-Rank. Damn, that’s a lot! Keep clearing Dungeons like this and I’ll be rich!”

I drove back to the hotel and went straight to the room I was renting. The hotel provided a dry cleaning service so I was determined to take advantage of that and had all the clothes I was wearing washed then went to take a nice warm bath. I thought back to the cold bath I mentioned earlier but remembered how I didn’t do well with cold water after five so I was like…

“Yeah, no way.”

Anyway.

I wrapped a towel around my waist after the bath, made my way to the bedroom then sat comfortably on the bed.

“Now then, time to check out my new toys. Open Item Space.”

[Showing the contents of the E-Rank Skill Cultivator]

• Cultivator E-Rank: Possesses a moderate level of Mana manipulation, through the use of a Dantian.

“Hmm…does Mana Crystal absorption simply just fall under the umbrella of moderate level Mana manipulation? Let’s check it out.’

I activated the Cultivator Skill and conjured out one E-Rank Mana Crystal to try and absorb it. As I sat on the bed, I placed it on my palms and closed my eyes to concentrate, I regulated my breathing and focused on the Mana Crystal.

“Hoo… I can sense the Mana inside it. Now I’ll use my hands and arms as a pathway to let the Mana flow through, the destination will be my newly formed Dantian. This will be my new Mana Source, it’ll work better than what I used before which was my brain since not only is it linked to my consciousness and sub-consciousness which combine to make up my Astral Body, it’s also linked to my Physical Body And Spiritual Body. Alrighty then, time to absorb!”
