That was weird, according to his understanding, using the seal to teleport should cost at least two orbs not to mention that he took the book with him. Could it be that moving within the nightmare realm had different rules than moving to the outside? Aldrich had to figure it all out but he could always experiment some time later, for now he had to take the money and get back to the real world. Aldrich had 63 red orbs and that was more than enough to take the seven coins he needed but he decided to take…-

Aldrich realized that he must be on a mountain path, to his left and right he was surrounded by natural stone. He walked forward, it was the only path forward really. He faithfully followed the old trail until he came upon a clearing, that's when he saw it. Atop a barren hill rising from the center of a dark wood stands the silent remains of an ancient chapel, its black form silhouetted against the blood-red sky. Five broken towers surrounded the main structure, weatherworn walls and a crumbling slate…

"Will it bloat like yours when I put things in it?" Aldrich had to ask, if that was the case then it was going to make taking it to battle out of the question. "No, not at all. As I told you mine is a little special… and I might have put a little too much in it. Anyway take my word for it, if you ever face a problem with it I will reimburse you in full." Well that didn't sound like a bad deal. "So, how much do I have to pay to open your store's second level?" "Two green orbs, but, since this is our…

"Good, good, just two red essence orbs please." Uldin said. "What?" Aldrich asked in confusion, "I didn't see anything." "That's the fee to access the first level of my stock." "Two orbs just to look?! You can't be serious!" Aldrich fired back. "If you want essence orbs so much why don't you go kill a few of those bastards outside." "I would have, if I could." Uldin said full of lamentation. "What do you mean you can't? You're powerful enough." Aldrich suddenly thought of something and said, "wait,…

Aldrich sucked in a cold breath. To this day he had never met anyone else who knew of essence besides himself, this was the first time. This guy might really know about the secrets of the nightmare town. "I don't really have much essence orbs with me now, maybe some time later." Aldrich was regretful but he needed every single orb right now. "A shame," Uldin shook his head. "But since this is our first meeting, why don't I give you a treat in name of our budding friendship?" "I'll give you any…

The statue was not of a human but a humanoid being. It stood two meters tall and it had the face of a middle-aged man but two goat horns grew from the sides of it's face and coiled downward behind it's ears. The ears were long and they looked split in half, one half pointed upwards and the other downwards. The statue of this humanoid being was carrying a huge bloated bag, it was part of the statue. The statue was wearing a rob like cloth that made it hard to observe any further. When Aldrich suddenly…

Aldrich checked up on all his equipment and after making sure that everything was fine he came to the regretful decision that he had to leave his new sword behind on today's hunt. This time he was going to take the long bow for his main weapon and a short sword as back up in case he had to engage in close combat. Today was all about getting as much orbs as possible. In the nightmare town the distances between buildings and houses was not that big, at least not for him. His physical might was not just for…

Support the novel for this double drop! **** Yasbel had not expected that she would meet such a mishap today. Her mind was full of questions, she was not the type to just brush them off, she couldn't even if she wanted to. She thought that she did everything perfectly, after all she did everything perfectly without a single mistake. In the first place it was not impossible to know the name; Ortarious, but it was not easy either. And anyone who knew wouldn't know to associate her with that name anyway.…

It was completely by way of coincidence. Aldrich just used the Eyes of Insight on Yasbel by pure chance and saw that her last name was different from the plaque on her office door. The first time he said it, was to test the waters to know if she would really be affected by the reveal of that name. And the results exceeded his expectations to say the least. He had no idea that she would be that rattled just by hearing that name and so he caught her in a trap. As someone who was also hiding his identity…

Aldrich had to school his expression as he asked, "dirty? What the hell are you talking about?" "My money's always been alright. Weren't you the one that said that there are many people who bring in items for appraisal? Is it wrong to bring in more coins? If the imperial bank doesn't want my business then I'll just look for other banks where I'll be respected as a customer." That's right the imperial bank maybe the central bank of the empire and the most trusted in the world but it wasn't without…
