Standing outside the seemly ordinary bookshop , with the word "Scripture Pavilion" boldly and stylishly written on the plaque.
There was more than a dozen D grade skill books on display, just like an ordinary stall in the market.
This was the only reason why Eric stood there, completely staring like a village boy who visited the city for the first time in his life, dazzled and amazed by what he saw.
Indeed this Eric first seeing a skill book even though he once heard some of his classmates discussing about it animatedly.
But the courage for someone to publicly display such treasures on the street like they were normal items, even though it was enough to make silver ranks mystics go crazy.
And the way everyone around here passed and behave like they didn't see it, some even avoid passing here. Making this place look desolate.
This was the black market, where all kinds of nasty and unruly people gather. For them to act so decoy and obedient meant only one word
"Terrifying!"
But Eric knew non of that, as he only found this place to be mysterious, and decided to check it out.
An old man with grey white hair walked towards the masked Eric, with a welcoming smile, as he gestured for Eric to come in.
Looking at the racks of skill books, cultivation techniques , Eric was marvelled to discover they weren't only skill books and cultivation techniques, there were also books pertaining to different kinds of profession, containing all
kinds of information.
"Mystic Cultivation Guide"
Eric pointed at the book, and someone came to pick it, there wasn't much interaction.
Eric browsed through the skill books .
Stealth F grade as the name pertained a stealth skill.
Fort wall an E rank skill, that was popularly know among low ranks mystics .
Shot accuracy F, mostly for long range ability mystics.
Dash, for short outburst in speed according to it's name.
High leap , Wind Slash, Wind blade, Magic sense( mainly used by mystic mage to assist in casting spells), Templars charge, Shadow strike, Defense fortitude, Back stab( not back stabing), Lacerate and many more, as the goes on.
Eric was too lazy to continue reading them.
Apart from skill books, there were also few kinds cultivation techniques, but since Eric knew nothing about it, he didn't care.
Pointing at the skills, Stealth, Dash, Shadow strike, the same person also came to bring out what Eric requested for.
The old man smile enlarged a little bit while looking at Eric boss like actions.
That will cost you 4 million each skill , " yh" "y...h..." stopping in his steps "4 million?!".
"Yes" the old man replied
Even with a mask drapped over his face, Eric was too ashamed, that he wanted the ground to open and swallow him( face slapping?).
Luckily for Eric this place wasn't crowded, if not he would have been a laughing stock.
. . .
Standing outside in a daze, the cool winds assulted his balls, bringing him back to reality.
Remembering how boldly he walked into the shop. Eric touched his nose to hide his embarrassment. The only thing he later bought or the only thing his money could afford.
"Mystic Guide" 70,000 federation dollars .

Cultivation Ranks
Bronze Mystic Rank
Silver Mystic Rank
Gold Mystic Rank
Diamond Mystic Rank
True Mystic
Earth Mystic
Sky Mystic
And for the highest realm know to mankind "Ascendant Mystic" It's said that only 9 humans broke through this realm.
Making them humanity biggest cards against demonic beast ( the general name, instead of calling them by ranks ).
. . .
Every mystic were at first called awakened or awakeners , but for someone to have at least the word "MYSTIC" added to their rank, they must have atleast killed a demonic beast before, even if it's a low level wild beast.
This was so to prevent those piece of sh!ts, who didn't have the guts to step out of their comfort zone protected by the city walls, and the people who waste their lives battling everyday.
"Mystic" was the honor for those who risked their lives everyday .
. . .
Secret realms ( dongueon ), they started disappearing after a 100 years .
.
That was all , Eric closed the book, finally gotten what he wanted all this while, "atleast am not that clueless anymore" or so he thought.

(this was supposed to be another chapter, but I tried to make it short. from now each chapter is going to have at least 1000 words)

Like seriously? Eric smacked his palm to his face.
With the sudden realization he had system like attribute panel. The last incident scared him so much , that he forgot such an important matter, the reason for the biggest change in his life.
Summoning his attribute panel...

Since ancient times dragons could sleep for hundreds of years and even mightier dragon Lord's slept for thousands of years.
This was because dragon were children of mother nature, and they were infinitely blessed by the universe, to the extent they could grow stronger by just sleeping.
They were also born with two or more elemental affinity of the highest grade ( some of us already know this).
As if plussing this fact together wasn't enough, they had terrifying control over Mana, like it was their limbs, and their Mana reserve was 3 to 5 times greater than other races , which could explain Eric terrifying mana capacity.
But the heavens was fair, making them very few in each universe. Which made them treated as Divine Beast.
Eric was like a treasure chest filled with endless treasures, but sadly it was still locked. He had the potential but not the time.
Thanks to his breakthrough, Eric found renewed reason and confidence to step outside the city gates once again.
This time around Eric wasn't planning to just wander around the city safe zone, but to step in to the real wilderness.
