Origin Of Evil - 82 Limi

Dorian was able to safely reach his shop, with no one bothering him. However, no matter where he went, the people he crossed looked at him, talking to each other. He was able to hear a few of them, and learned what he did was spreading across the realms like a plague.

Once at his shop, Dorian was surprised to see that almost all of his equipment had been sold, despite the spot it was at. Looking at his Dream Coins, he had 600 000 of them now. He put all the items he picked up earlier, and looked at the loot he got from Jane.

A Blue rank Earring, and a Blue rank Spear. The Earring was the most interesting for him, because it was a special equipment, like rings, of which you could have several ones. One can equip two earrings at the same time, one on each ear, and ten rings.

As for the spear, it wasn’t as interesting as he didn’t fight using the spear. He didn’t put it for sale though, because first he didn’t know how much it was worth, and because of how rare it is he might use it as a bargaining chip later if he ever needs to.

He first looked at the earring.

[Name: Fairy’s Glitter]

[Type: Earring]

[Rarity: Blue]

[Defense: F]

[Requirement: Intelligence 20]

[Effects: Intelligence +5]

[Fairy’s Protection: Protects you from one magical attack weaker than 100 Intelligence. Cooldown: 6 hours.]

[Durability: 1000/1000]

[Remark: A Fairy’s spirit is said to be trapped into this earring.]

This, Dorian didn’t doubt it came from Jane’s brother. It was a really powerful artifact, even if it only protected against one attack, no Evolvers could possibly have 100 in Intelligence. And just like with Dorian, if someone attack with a magical attack and see no damage is done, they will just attack differently, because it is impossible to know it can only protect you from one attack.

Dorian put it on immediately, as he really liked it. Even the design looked cool, taking the appearance of a wings sitting behind the ear. No could see it because of his mask, but he still liked it. Now, he needed to look at that spear.

It looked very cool too, it was a straight yellow spear with blue lightning bolts decorating it. The blade at the end of the weapon was of a light blue, and glowed a little. Just looking at it made him feel some danger unexpectedly.

[Name: Zeus’ punishment]

[Type: Special Weapon]

[Rarity: Blue]

[Attack: C]

[Requirement: 20 Strength, 30 Vitality]

[Lightning Bolt: Once it strikes someone, a magical bolt of lightning will be summoned and smite the one hit.]

[Durability: 1/1]

[Remarks: A one use weapon which can deal devastating damage to someone.]

He now understood why she looked so shocked and despaired when she missed him. Had she, he would have suffered from this weapon. And even he didn’t know what would have happened had that hit.

Still, it was now in his possession, and he would put it to good use. Storing it in his Spatial Ring, he intended on keeping it. This would serve as a great way to kill stronger unexpectedly.

He was disappointed though not to get what she used to revive herself. It was almost sure that not to die from having her neck twisted, she used that consumable, [Christ’s Blood]. What a waste.

Dorian put the spear back in his ring and decided it was now time to go explore the market. He had only discovered the Sheep part of it, and had stopped at the edge of the Predator one.

Now, he had to venture a little deeper. The first few shops he saw were stalls just like him. He stopped at a few of them, hopping he could get something great from them, but he discovered that they barely sold anything, and those things were of a subpar quality.

Thus, he had no choice but to ignore the first few and venture deeper. Honestly, the shops here didn’t really look different from the ones in the Sheep area, and yet the atmosphere was gloomier.

At some point, he finally stopped seeing stalls, as they changed to official shops. He ignored all the smiths as he didn’t need them, but instead looked out for Alchemists and people who sold abilities and skills.

For Alchemists, it was rather simple, because most of them had shops and the name of their shops always had a word like brew or potion.

For the skills and abilities, it was both simpler and harder. Dorian had already received a notification earlier when he was selling his items that he could either sell them only for those who personally came to his shop, or put them in specialized shops.

If he could sell them using his own stall, he would get all the Dream Coins paid. If he uses a shop though, a part will go to said shop. Even though he lost some coins, Dorian still used the shops because it would be much more efficient to sell.

And with the number of skills and ability books people sold, as well as equipment and some special consumables, the number of specialized shops were incredibly high.

So finding them was easy. However, finding the specific book was harder, because there was literally all kinds of skills and abilities.

Dorian didn’t waste his time with the first specialized shops and instead went for the biggest in the Evolver area, Pandora’s Box. It was also the shop where Dorian had put his items for sale.

It wasn’t very far, despite being the best shop in its category. After five minutes of walking, he reached the shop. It looked majestic, it was an eight floored building decorated with golden lions as well as diamond eastern dragons coiling around the building.

Dorian entered the shop and as soon as he entered, he couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty of the interior, which was even better than the outside. It was less eye catching, this time gold and diamond weren’t used, and yet it still looked better than the outside.

The atmosphere was very calm, and despite the amount of people in the shop it was completely silent. From time to time, they would hear birds sing, although they couldn’t see where they came from.

Dorian headed toward one of the counters where skill and abilities were sold, and started browsing through what was offered. In Dreamland, only a few items would be shown in the real world. Most of the items would be digitalized and their description would have to be specifically searched by the customers.

Dorian looked through the items sold, but none were interesting for him, they were useless for the most. He even found some of the things he put for sale himself. Some may think, why not buy as many skills and abilities as possible if he had the money for it?

It wasn’t this simple. Someone couldn’t have an infinite number of abilities and skills, depending on their strength and realm of power they all have a limit.

Dorian didn’t know what was his current limit, but when he had absorbed the last few abilities he had felt a certain restraint. After informing himself he had learned about this limit. That’s why, Dorian couldn’t just buy everything in sight, as that would be useless. He better buy the skill books for the skills he already has.

Leaving this counter, Dorian headed toward the next floor, taking he stairs. As he tried moving up he felt the air become heavier… No, he was getting heavier. Had the gravity increased?

Still, he didn’t have a problem moving, but that would bare access to most people. Dorian now understood how this shop worked.

The higher one went, the better the items sold would be. But they needed to meet certain requirements to buy those items, and the increased gravity was one of those.
