Money

[$ 6,352] Alex looked at the amount of money a little interested shortly after he used the payment card that his grandfather had given him along with the ones he had from his father, which he sent him over the years.

He looked intensely at the money, since it was a large amount and apart from that he doesn't have a sense of money, but soon a memory came to Alex's mind to know if the market is selling expensive things or not, and that It was to compare the prices of normal or instant healing potions, since they will be very important to him, since those potions will be able to determine if he lives for a tomorrow or not.

500ml - Healing Potion, Minor ,Intermediate, High = $50, $200, $5,000

250ml - Instant Healing Potion, Minor , Intermediate, High = $200, $1,500, $10,000

1 White Bread = $ 0.50

"Well, that's one less problem, now I want to see who my manifestations are" Alex looked at the palms of his two hands where little by little, the ridges filled with mana.

"Get out" Alex's voice turned a little grainy when he used mana to use the mana command to be able to bring in his manifestations of mana.

"..." "Myau!" Two small creatures formed in front of Alex.

A black cat with purple eyes, formed on the ground and looked lazily his surroundings while letting out a meow to show his presence at Alex's call.

In the air, a small Axolotl formed and had a bluish color on its white skin, the little one swam through the air as if it were a liquid and circled Alex several times.

Alex quickly understood which element each represented and what was his main element, the cat was the lighting as well as his main element, since he has his full body, while the little blue axolotl had a semi-transparent body and is still intangible, he can only be in the physical world for a short time unless Alex feeds him with his own mana, while the cat can be indefinitely.

"For some reason, you are still in your childish form, while you lazy are in your youthful stage" Alex said the information the system brought directly to his brain.

Alex understood that, in the future, he will be able to obtain more abilities from his manifestations and also for that reason, he only obtained an Axolotl ability while all the other abilities shown were from the black cat that is almost an adult.

"I suppose you are in your small form now, the system identifies you as a big feline, not as a domestic cat, I suppose you can increase your size at will" Alex thought aloud while petting the cat and playing with the axolotl a bit, who was floating in the air.

Shortly after a few minutes of understanding his gift, which was to have control over the lightning and water elements, Alex had superficial control over them, but that is all he can currently accomplish with his lack of mastery of his new powers.

Alex could create a few sparks in his hands which have the same power as a taser, while he can only gather moisture in the palm of his hand with the element of water.

This did not discourage Alex since the most imparted as awakened is his ability to imbue his mana in the weapons to be able to destroy the mana armor of monsters or beasts, an armor so hard that not even bullets can pierce, although these monsters or Beasts only appear on the sixth floor in the level 30 area onwards.

Alex dismissed the little axolotl with a thought and he quickly disappeared into the ridge in Alex's hand, while the cat simply climbed onto Alex's shoulders, from where the cat simply looked at his surroundings with laziness and lack of empathy.

The cat settled on Alex's neck until it reached a comfortable position, Alex could just wait patiently for the cat that seems to be a bit selfish, shortly after, he just continued on his way to the city that was no longer far away.

There were a lot of people going in and out of the entrance to the wall, since there were people living outside the wall, many people were farmers or simply poor people and they sold any product they could make or service as lodging and more.

Alex was a little uneasy about security, seeing how easy it was to get in and out of town.

When Alex arrived in front of the entrance, he managed to understand why people could enter and exit so easily, the entrance had a quadruple inventory scanning system which only searches for certain specific items and if you have them, your whole person will be marked of some color according to the decision of who controls the system, and if the prohibited or controlled object is not in your inventory, it will be surrounded by an aura that will make it possible to see it, even if it is hidden.

Other than that the entrance had a system shard crystal, which had the ability to do a simple task, and this crystal is tasked with charging $ 20 to foreigners who enter each time. Only citizens are not charged the system, the system identifies whether or not they are cities by checking the profiles of people looking for a specific title.

[Entry Cost = $ 20 - Do you want to pay? <Y / N>] As soon as Alex stepped under the green glass at the top of the entrance, a message from the system appeared in front of Alex, he was a little surprised at how magical the system was, but just as well he was able to react and agreed to pay, so as not to sound the intruder alarm and have the security guards over him.

Alex walked for a few minutes and appreciated the environment, which was very different from the wooden and laminated houses outside the walls, the more Alex walked into the city, he realized that the quality of the streets and buildings got better, but still weren't like the images in her grandfather's photo album.

The doors did not open by themselves, there were no sensors to detect people to receive them or turn on the light, there was no music or holograms displaying prerecorded messages.

There were only a few buildings that were not made of wood but of cement and were the largest, while the others used bricks and wood, according to his grandfather, the new civilization was a combination of the medieval and revolution Industrial, since many magic machines were very abrupt in their size, apart from having to use steam machines again.

Alex could see some rails in the middle of the street and nobody walked on them, Alex looked at the whole city with a lot of curiosity, he had been here before, but he was too small to remember it now, so Alex looked like some country boy that it was his first time in a city.

Some people were proud when they saw Alex's reaction to looking at the buildings or the stalls.

Only a very few laughed at Alex's actions, but they were cautious, they did not want to attract attention in a world where killing someone else is easy, therefore, the habit of making fun of someone else is not a great one, since nobody wants to disturb a stranger who may have a connection with someone important, or may become powerful after succeeding in the tower.

This made people try to be friendlier, but that was only the case in the southern part of the city, since, in the north, rich or powerful people live who do not skimp on making fun of or even hunting people when entering the tower.

If you were unlucky and made yourself known as someone weak, you would easily lose more than half of the friendliness that the people of the city once showed you, that was normal since they are all human and only move for their benefits own or their family.

Alex did not take long to find an inn, he knew how to read and write, which made him easy to distinguish businesses from each other, although it was not necessary since he only had to see the business posters to understand what type of business each one is.

He entered the inn only to feel that he had crossed an invisible wall of mana.

"Table four, five and six, they order the special, they are 18 orders" A sharp voice hit Alex's ears as soon as he entered the restaurant-inn.

An adult woman found herself shouting customer orders to her husband, who was found in the kitchen along with other young men, who quickly moved their hands to prepare the food.

Alex was surprised since he did not hear any sound from the inn before he entered, but now inside, he could see that there was a party, several groups of people happily ate at different tables, being the largest group, the one that just ordered.

"Welcome to the Rabbit Cave. Are you coming to eat or stay?" Alex turned to his left side in time to see a young girl similar to the previous woman, the girl sat behind a counter where she had keys hanging and several menus to offer.

The blonde girl looked at Alex with her big black eyes, waiting for his answer while handing some menus to other people who entered at the same time as Alex, who came in to eat.

"To stay, I already saw the prices written outside, I would like to stay for three weeks, a single room, here is $1,050 credits" Alex created a payment card from the system which contained the amount of money that he mentioned.
