"You are on your own!" said the stable caretaker as he stepped out of Kaizen's way. After noticing on the statistics screen that Black Cloud was injured, Kaizen looked meticulously at the horse and realized that the animal was not stepping on the ground with its upper right paw, which meant that this was the limb that was injured. This was such a subtle detail of the animal's behavior that Kaizen could only notice it because he was looking for something unusual. He opened the gate, and when the horse…-

Galion, the cartographer from Holinda, used the map he sold to teach Kaizen the best routes to the Royal City, as requested. Between these two great cities, there were many different routes, roads, and paths to follow. For centuries merchants and markets had plotted their own routes and which ones they thought were the fastest and safest. Crossing paths with monsters that suddenly appeared on the way was not uncommon, but two habits were necessary to avoid this kind of situation. The first was not to…

Because of all the hard times together, Klaus and Chun were much more emotional than usual. After they calmed down, Chun said she would call Michael to tell him the good news, and Kaizen returned to work more motivated than ever. When he logged on to Rise Online, in his inventory, there were still 11,411 gold and 50 silver coins for him to use. Before, Klaus had been worried about how he would make enough money to buy or rent a store to set up his forge, but now that the budget problem was almost solved,…

260,000.00. Two hundred and sixty thousand dollars. $260,000.00 That was Klaus's total amount after the Auction House took their commission percentage. Receiving this amount meant what to Klaus Park? Well, everything, but mostly hope. After making so many important decisions in the last week, this was what he needed most at the moment. Although this amount was not even ⅕ of his family's debt, receiving this absurd amount of money for one item made him think of two things: The first thing was that the…

'How did she know about the auction? And how did she get my number to make such an unfunny joke? I wonder if it was... No, it can't be. You have to go to the Auction House to check the final auction value.' Klaus Park did not believe a word Florence Askins said to him over the phone. That was beyond absurd. Naturally, Klaus returned to help his father put the boxes on the truck rented for the move. During one of their family conversations in the previous days, they had decided it would be better not to…

While the auction was going on, Klaus Park was heavily sleeping, completely unaware of everything that was happening. "Washing dishes... Ham... 2... Millions... Grandpa..." He was busy in his dreams, thinking about many random things. *** The Chiron price was skyrocketing with all the users' attention focused on the night's most famous auction. No one knew the most powerful Beast Mount in Rise Online, but everyone knew that this Druid Beast Mount was the best that had ever appeared on the…

The initial auction value was set at 15 gold coins, as Klaus thought that for less than this, it would not really be worth selling it. Also, he was afraid that no one would bid if he asked too high for a price right away. The deadline for the auction was set for one day, just as he had done with the Mutant-ranked Swift Arrows. Waiting a longer period of time for a better offer was very unlikely to happen. There was also the urge to be able to help his family soon, and he was in a hurry to get the…

"Holy fuck." Klaus said. "You really did it, huh? And now what? What are you going to do?" inquired Jayaa, on the other end of the call. Looking in the bathroom mirror, Klaus reflected on his colleague's question. Although it was a big problem to have people hating him now, he knew that this risk was real when he decided to take advantage of the gigantic gap that existed in that raid against the Boss. The way Klaus defeated the Centaur Druid was simple for him as he identified what was needed to do to…

Hearing from Zahir the facts about the Ironstones opened Kaizen's eyes to what he should really do. Obviously, if he had decided to work for Zahir, he would probably make money a little faster, except that even a person obsessed with money, like Kaizen, knew it was wrong to skip too many steps. A path must be built, even if it is tortuous, but there must be a path. So if he thought the righteous thing to do was to set up his own forge and blacksmith store to honor the master blacksmith who taught her…

"Have you heard from the Ironstone Blacksmith Family, Zahir?" Kaizen asked. When he heard those words, Zahir's eyes went wide. "How do you know that name?" he asked with a strangely somber and serious face. Kaizen could not tell that he saw and communicated a few days ago with a half-Ironstone half-dwarf who had been dead for 100 years. If he told this, Zahir would probably think he was a madman. Nevertheless, Kaizen felt that it would not be easy to lie to this dwarf, so that he would tell only a…
