The sweet smell of money

"What"…

His face was painted with a shocked expression.

The first time, to recieve the notification, it took him almost six months,

while this time, in just a day his level was raised two times, without thinking much about it, he accepted.

(Yes)

His body glowed like the other times, after seven minutes, the process ended and he felt his body grow stronger as the glow slowly faded away.

"Status"

[ name:Bruno race:human

^stats

body:(low rank 6)———(high rank 8)

mana:(mid rank 13)——(high rank 17)

mind:(peak rank 21)——(low rank 24)

Awekening: rank 2 —— rank 4

]

"So thats how it works huh!"

For every awekening, all the stats are raised by one, other than that, they can also raise depending on the situation: for exaple, since i pushed my body to the extreme, my body gained two small rank advancements, and ,since I successfully imbued my dagger with mana, my mana gained more than two additional ranks, also, stimulating the brain with the time stop while fighting, raised my intelligence by a small rank.

~I don't know if it's like this just for me or for everyone, but if anyone could get so strong in just this little time, than there would never be someone stuck in low awekening ranks for long~ was what bruno thought.

He was right, not everyone could raise their stats so easily, normal awekened only gained one advancement per rank, in that case the only stats raised were the ones useful for them, for example, a fighter would usually have an increase in strength, while a mage would be most likely to increase his mana. There were however, no class that raised the mind rank, his was the only one, or, it could've been one of the other perks of having the trait: {genius}.

He also noticed something unexpected:

[^skills

Eyes of fate: (high 9th)——(high 11th)

Time affinity:(low 17th)——(mid 19th)

Time stop:( low 62nd)——(high rank 64)]

The skills had the same concept as his stats,

In just one day, his time stop skill gained two levels, while it took him five full years to reach level sixty-two.

It was indeed a terrifying growth speed, however, with a growing speed like that, the fate, that was forced onto him together with the powers, must've been just as terrifying.

Aftar having breakfast, he slowly started heading for the temple, his goal there was to sell all the loot he gained yesterday, and, after doing that, he hoped to find a new dagger since his old one was quite worn out from the previous battle, not only had it withstood all the hauks bodies, it had also supported the mana infused into it.

After arriving, he walked towards the front desk, were the same lady as last time welcomed him and asked if she could be of any help.

He had previously removed the mana stones from the sack so that later he could try to absorb them.

Now, in his bag, were only left the teeth and the claws, he still handed the bag to her, hoping they would sell for a decent amount, he didn't need much, just enough to pay for the hotel and for his meals.

After counting them three times to make sure she didn't make any mistakes, she said.

"Every hauk tooth goes for about seven euros(about seven and a half USD) meanwhile, every claw is worth around 32 euros(almost thirty-five USD).

Considering you gave me 276 teeth and 98 claws, your total would be worth, six thousands two hundreds seventy-three euros (about 6821 USD).

His life was always full of twists, this time however, contrary to the others time, the twist was positive, it was common knowledge that working as awekened earned much more than doing it as a normal person, but no one apart from themself actually knew how much moneys it earned, Bruno, new to the work, had now just found out about it.

His happy face was soon swapped with a sad and gloomy one, the thought in his mind was: ~all the bodies i left behind, how much would i have earned, damm, f*ck, aarghhhhhh.~

"Haaaa" he sighted, lowering his shoulders.

The receptionist did something on the computer and said:" thank you for your materials,all the moneys have been charged on your awekened card."

"Do you need anything else",

"Yes please, could you show me some of your daggers", the lady nodded and guided him to yet another room, there were many display cases, inside of them, there were many tipes of daggers, after searching around for a bit, he found what he wanted.

Fire serpent dagger:

Crafted by the blacksmith Nozigan with the fang of a fire serpent, a 7th rank boss monster.

Mana conductor percentage: 9%

"How much is this worth" he asket to the lady,

she replied:" its worth ten thousands euros(10873 USD), however, you can pay five thousands now and pay the rest in installments over the next two months, i'm sure that, with your hunting pace, you would definetly be able to repay your debt in just that time.

He was quite bothered by borrowing moneys from the association, but he had no other choice, he really needed the new dagger or else he couldn't have continued his hunt.

Set on returning to the last gate to make more money, he also bought a dimensional bag with three cubic meters of space, for a thousand euros(1087USD).

This time.

He was going to aim for the boss.
