Auction II

"Our next item is an egg, there is a huge possibility that this is a dragon egg, if the dragon hatches the first person that it see's has a chance to obtain the blood of a dragon and join the dragon clan as a member, since it could bring countless benefits for its owner the starting price is 5 000 000 Essence Crystal" said the auctioneer.

System is that a dragon?

[No]

Oh, do u know what's inside?

[Yes, it's a divine beast]

What is a divine beast?

[A creature that has inherited memories from it's ancestors, it should be pretty intelligent]

What kind of egg is that?

[Fox]

Why is that a divine beast?

[It's probably a Divine White Cotton Fox]

That's some weird name isn't it?

[This species called Cotton because of its large and fluffy fur it resembles a ball of cotton, as a baby and as an adult this look doesn't change one bit, aside from that they are pretty useless]

I need to get it!

[Host I just said it's useless..]

Yes but u also said it's fluffy so I need to get it!

"Congratulations for number 999 to winning the Dragon Egg" said the auctioneer, she didn't expected that the previously green colored individual had so much Essence Crystal, the world is truly big.

[Host wasting 25m Essence Crystal on this fox is just throwing out resources, I'm truthfully speechless]

Are you sure it will be fluffy?

[Yes, 100% why?]

Than it's alright.

[???]

You wouldn't understand even if I told u...

[I am incredibly intelligent Host, try me!]

Because fluffy things are Cute!

[I don't understand how that worth 25m..]

See I told you! The you know why people have so many Essence Crystals?

[In Theory they can use it, a normal person can use 2 Essence Crystals a day, but most people creat Essence Crystals to sell for gold and earn their daily salary, so there are millions or even billions of Essence Crystals out there]

Can I take more than 2?

[Since Host isn't a normal human it should be possible, suggesting host to test it by slowly increasing your limit]

Oh, I will try that.

A few moments afterwards Cyra payed and got the fox egg, it wasn't exactly big but it had unique markings on it, probably that's why everyone guessed it was a dragon egg.. she put the egg inside her storage ring.

"Now with everything out of the way let's move on towards our recently gained cursed items, this batch was collected from an ancient sect that is no longer exists, but these goods are still one of the greatest, Tonight First Cursed item is Amanus Nightmare Stone!" said the auctioneer.

"Amanus was the ancient sect deity, this stone was a gift to the sect leader to wish him safety, the stone is sealed by countless inscriptions, it's original material is unknown, the effects of removing the seal are the following: First there will be intense hallucinations for anyone who is in its 30 meter range, than in the second phase if they stayed near the stone more than 10 minutes the nightmares become reality and start to hunt down who ever near the stone, this stone is a priceless treasure when it comes to agonizing death" explained the auctioneer while carefully lifted up the stone container box.

"The starting bid of this item is 20 000 000 Essence Stone!"

"21 000 000 Essence Crystal from Totem 4" The giant board behind the lady suddenly has lit up with a pink color!

"22 000 000 Essence Crystal from Totem 5" The giant board behind the lady suddenly has lit up with a pink color!

"23 000 000 Essence Crystal from Totem 4" The giant board behind the lady suddenly has lit up with a pink color!

"24 000 000 Essence Crystal from Totem 5" The giant board behind the lady suddenly has lit up with a pink color!

"24 100 001 Essence Crystal from Totem 5" The giant board behind the lady suddenly has lit up with a pink color!

"Congratulations for Totem number 5 for obtaining tonight First cursed item" said the auctioneer.

"Our second cursed item is a Mysterious Scroll, we don't have much Information about This one, we can't even translate what's Writer on it, but one thing is sure it's something important in any case the scroll it self can be used as a defensive item, it's cursed with regeneration no mater what we do with it, after a day it's returns to it's original form without a scratch, it also can take 1 attack from a rank 2 Essence Master before disappearing" explained the auctioneer.

System what's on that scroll?

[Inscriptions, that scroll contains insight, Humans often refer to it as Scroll of Insight, when used it can permanently double a person capability to consume Essence Crystals]

What is the cursed part than? This doesn't sound bad at all, I kinda want it now..

[The item is clearly cursed, normally these things shouldn't be capable of regeneration at all, there is either something sealed in it similarly to the nightmare stone or something is trapped inside, doesn't worth the risk suggesting host to ignore it.]

Seeing that most of the remaining items would be useless to her Cyra decided to test out the system theory and started crushing Essence Crystals one after another till she reached her limit, at 50 she was perfectly fine at 90 she felt like being full after a great lunch at 105 she was truly done, she couldn't take in more she felt like exploding if she tried.

Meanwhile in private room number 9 the young master Atlas started to bid for a Cursed item called Armor of Drakness, he bought the armor for 40 000 000 Essence Crystals after paying for it he called one of his servants and told him, - "Bring this armor and invitation to totem number 999, she should be staying in Private Room number 10"

"Young Master we spent so much on that armor, does it really worth it gifting it to an unknown girl" asked Atlas First servant Estes.

"This is a gamble that I must take!" Said Atlas.

"Why?" Asked Estes.

"She is basically my junior sister, our masters have a close relationship, also I wish to know more about this junior sister or mine, she could be a great help when we enter that hell hole" said Atlas with unease on his face.

"Sigh, take those items to her" Said Estes as he ordered the servant to do the task now that everything was clear.

Cyra cultivation was disturbed by knocking on her door, she got rather annoyed because no matter what she said the guy kept knocking, giving up completely she stood up and walked to the door and opened it, she was confronted by a servant who gave her an armor and a letter, before running away, since Cyra was clearly leaking killing intent the guy was frightened to the core and ran away the moment he had the chance to do so.

"How was it? Did she liked it?" asked Atlas from the returning servant.

"I. I.. don't know, she was so scary, I had to ran away!" said the servant.

"Did you disturbed her?" asked Atlas

"That's possible since no one answered the door I kept knocking until she opened it." said the servant.

"So that's what happened, fine your dismissed." said Atlas as he crushed the servant skull and his lifeless body fallen to the floor, than he said, - "Clean this up, I don't want to leave a mess in this place"

"Right away!" Said Estes.

Meanwhile in room number 10 Cyra was still standing in the door with a stupefied look on her face, she didn't expected to meet a person who didn't even have the guts to tell her what he wants and instead just threw stuff in her arms.

System any idea what's this?

[According to the auctioneer it's called the Armor of Darkness, one of the recently sold cursed items it was bought by number 9, the armor has a unique curse which causing it to constantly emit black smoke also the Essence that host releases changes it's color to pitch black]

Well, I do like this item, I wonder what he wants..

[Suggesting Host to look at the invitation]

Oh yeh almost forgot about that, with that said Cyra opened the invitation, there wasn't much on it only the name Young Master Atlas and a place called Fallen Star Restaurant and a the time tomorrow 19:00, at first look it's seemed like a dinner invitation.

The next thing she did was trying on the armor, it was practically a light armor but it was still beautiful, after wearing the armor she summoned out her Essence Spikes to see that so called curse for her self, and really before it even formed black Essence started to leak from her body which than formed into a pitch black spear.

She was happy with the armor so decided to check out that invitation tomorrow, but since the auction was already at the point where it was out of her reach as she saw the board lit up with the number of 100 000 000 Essence Crystals she decided to head towards her master mansion.

After an hour of walking she arrived to her master house, as she walked inside there was her master and 2 other old man sitting by the table.

Razor Hell (Shadow)[Int: ??? ] [Str: ??? ] [E: ??? ]

Sharp Will (Shadow)[Int: ??? ] [Str: ??? ] [E: ??? ]

Blade Saw (Shadow)[Int: ??? ] [Str: ??? ] [E: ??? ] [H:???]

"Greetings Master, Greetings Elders" said Cyra as she performed a slightly bow.

"See this old man disciple is much more behaved than both of your disciplines put together." Said Razor while he was heartily laughing.

"She seems to be quite rich, that's a cursed armor I'm sure of it, tell me kid how did you got that armor? Also don't try to lie to me that your master bought it for you, I won't take that since Old Razor is way to broke to be able to afford something like that!" Said old Blade.

"Hey, Old Blade what do u mean I'm broke?! We get the same salary u know!" Said Razor as he was angrily glaring at Blade.

"Yes but u also always spend it on wine on the first day, u always and up robbing people for more money.. So little girl how did you got that armor?" asked Blade with a greedy smile.

"It was a Gift from young master Atlas." Said Cyra.

"Hahaha so it was old Sharp discipline who is this rich! Old Sharp tell us what did u do this time?" Said Razor and Blade with greedy smiles on their faces, seeing that it's not a good idea to stay around Cyra quickly said goodbye to them and headed towards her room.
