Chapter 137: Lodging

After the two of them came back to the cafe where Zen and Jena were waiting for their order to arrive. The two were unable to find the least expensive tavern for their team to rest, one of the most important things they have to do is to maintain their budget. Along with having an extra token left for food and equipment to boot

“No luck whatsoever, it looks like we’re gonna camp on the streets well it’s not as bad as you think it’ll be. There are no player killers here due to the frostherus making security-purpose drones. Rumors said it can even pin down a player who reached LVL 20 – 30 it’s such a great artifact I want one. Also, where’s Zen? I haven’t seen him for a while,” Colt noticed after he takes a glance at their table that one of their own was missing. Leaving only Jena to wait for the arrival of their food

“Zen said that he got lucky enough to get some raffle tickets you know the ones that we got a while back. He said he’s going to attend the announcement of the last prices since he has a lot of them I hope we could win. I heard that one of the prices is fully paid lodging for one of the most popular taverns in the city,” Jena explains the disappearance of their ally after Colt acted suspicious of his movements after he was getting along with him

“Raffle? Sorry to break it to you but the chances of a person winning are too low. Heck, I would even try so much as to be nice to that guy if he were to win that raffl~”

“Hey, guys I’ve won us some tickets for fully paid lodgings to the most expensive tavern. Let’s celebrate we can finally take a good rest after we’ve looked through every part of the town,” With Zen’s arrival along with the tickets his hands that he gave to their leader. Jena had a smug look on her face after Colt jinxed himself for voicing his opinions instead waiting for the result. She patted him on the shoulder after she notices his soulless expression

“Wow, Zen I can’t believe that you won such a prize, wait a minute this ticket has no duration? As long as we have this as proof we can enter that lodging every time we desire, let’s celebrate and order anything you want. After this will be resting in the most comfortable place to be known inside this biome!!?” Sam was overjoyed about the fact that they’ll be able to rest after their long and tiresome journey. In the most luxurious tavern to be found within the city

“Would you look at that Colt it seems that fate isn’t even on your side, better be nice to him starting right now? Don’t even think about taking back your words, I remember that you’re not the type to chicken out after you said something out loud,”

“Fine I’ll be nice can you get off of me already? At the very least make me feel like I’ve gained something to celebrate our luck,” The four of them enjoyed their meals, and soon after they made their way to the luxurious tavern they won from the raffle. Upon entering the building they were amazed by how neat the place came to be. It was a completely different experience from the ones they entered before, where the rooms were filled with dust and a few critters inhabited the room

“Welcome our dear customers and congratulation to the ones that won the raffle tickets. We hope that you’ll have a wonderful time in this place, apart from the food that we serve to the V.I.P there’s also a battleground where you could train. A library filled with grimoires and lastly, we have a bunch of staff that can help with your training. Now a word from our manager that’s currently managing this wonderful abode,” The staff member takes a step back and revealed one of the most known players in the world of trials. Yet this person was just a mere servant to the eyes of Zen, a player that was second to his range the player known as Park Hyunsu

“Park Hyunsu!!? Oh my god, the 32nd ranking player in the archer class im such a huge hmmp,” Before she could say any more than she already has. Sam covered her mouth and bowed to him after he was disturbed by her ally

“There’s no need for that kind of thing, im not someone that needs to be addressed so formally. Rather im here to greet the ones that were able to win the golden raffle ticket we’ve placed, may I have a word with the person who claimed the reward? It’s not going to take a long time, the staff members will guide you to your room, may you have a wonderful time,” Once the two of them were placed in a room with a fireplace along with a few people that arrived in their location

“Morris nim!! I thought I’d never see you again!!?” His act disappeared and his true emotions came to light, he jumped at his senior after their long-term isolation from one another. Only for his body to be slammed into the floor after he remembered that he doesn’t like to be touched. Without anything for his identity to be leaked he changed his appearance back to his original form

[System: The illusion created by the amulet of trickery has been canceled by the wielder. The original appearances of the player will now be projected]

Upon the release of his item the scars that would be seen throughout his body were a mere disguise. His yellow hair along with his personality was just a pigment compared to its original version. He turned off his mana breathing making his yellow hair revert to its original form and his red eyes shifted to blue. Lastly, the kind and cheerful personality he masked himself with was replaced with an irritated face and a bunch of black circles on his eyelids

[System: You’ve shifted from your original personality, the file name Radiant knight has been canceled. The player will now be described to be more manipulative, aggressive, and cruel compared to his previous personality]

“What’s the reason that you wanted to see me? Have you forgotten about what I previously announced, I think I made it clear that I don’t need any help!!!” Morris started after his body came to have changed since he started the path of augmentation. Hyunsu could feel his mana that was giving him a feeling of a bottomless pit that would devour anything within its path

[System: Path of mana has been reached, you haven’t acquired any kind of circle tier. Your mana has gained the ability to devour anything lesser than its power]

Hyunsu paused for a moment before he reported something that made him curious to know more about their predicament

“He used it,” He said after he was relieved of Morris’s reassuring mana

“You’re telling me that his sister is near?”

“Yes, I’ve found it to be strange that he hasn’t entered the Great labyrinth even though nearly a month has passed. Apart from the two of us that read it to the end, we’re the only ones that know of his mission. If we were to aid him in finding his sister then maybe we can gain his trust,”
