🕑 Added 2025-06-08 02:00:04 +0000 UTCAnton spent several hours looking at the different magical items in the different shops inside the huge mall that really mimicked the malls from Earth. While window shopping, Anton felt that he was really back on Earth. The bonus was that the mall’s shoppers were all cosplayers. For a second, he grieved that his friends from the Amelia weren’t there with him to have fun looking at the things and entertainment this place had to offer.
He made sure that his grieving was just a second since he didn’t want to become depressed again. When he got famished, he dined at one of the restaurants that were scattered in the mall-like building.
The only downside of this mall was how expensive everything was. It didn’t matter to Anton, though, since he was rich. Not only that, his Adventurer Guild's Diamond card and bank card made the merchants in the mall treat him like the rich person that he was. He was getting addicted to the services that were being offered to him, and more so when he noticed that the other shoppers were looking at him in envy.
The problem was that, because of how the merchants and their employees treated Anton, he felt embarrassed if he didn’t purchase anything, so that made him spent a lot of coins. He then realized why he was being treated so well.
It didn’t matter to Anton. He felt rich in that moment, and he was rich, so he behaved like a spoiled rich young man, just like any other spoiled rich young man that he had read before. He started purchasing a lot of things and kept purchasing things. Most of them he didn’t need, and more than likely, they would end up as clutter in his house. Again, it didn’t matter. He started enjoying himself and wanted to retain that enjoyment for as long as he could.
When Anton noticed that the sun had set, he checked the amount that he had spent and was surprised to see that he had spent a whopping ten thousand gold coins, which was more than three times the price that he had paid for his current house.
Anton observed himself to check if he felt guilty about spending such a large amount of coins on such foolish things, but after a couple of minutes of introspection, he didn’t feel any guilt. He realized that even if he spent all of his gold coins, he wasn’t worried. The speed at which he earned coins was unbelievably fast.
After eating dinner, he went home. When he arrived at his house, Anton was greeted by the dwarves and his maids. Torbin told Anton that a letter from the mage guild had arrived. Anton knew that it wouldn’t be from his father since he just sent his letter that morning, and Anna usually used her tiny raven to send letters.
Before going to his room to send the letters, he retrieved all of the items that he had purchased from the what he was calling magic mall, onto the floor of the living room.
The two dwarves and the two maids gaped at the huge amount of magical items that came out.
“Can you please take these away. If it's something decorative, you can put it around the house. Those you consider valuable, you can put in the treasure room. You can also choose two items each,” Anton told everyone, then he went to his room and left his maids and his guards to their devices.
The letter bore an official stamp from Anna’s school, and for a moment, he was worried that something had happened to his sister. He immediately opened the letter and was relieved that it was just a complaint from the school about sending such a huge amount of wealth to Anna. The school informed him that they would keep the high-level mana stones for his sister since it would be dangerous for her to be carrying such wealth. The school would then provide Anna with everything that she would need during her stay in the school, including the mana stones she required for her projects.
The next letter was from Anna, scolding him about the high-level mana stones. When she requested mana stones, she expected to be sent a couple of low-level mana stones. Anna said through her letter that when they opened the package from the mage guild, her teacher almost had a heart attack. Anton smiled ruefully at the mistake that he had made, but then again, he just shrugged and let it be. Nothing bad happened, and at the very least, the school would take care of his sister, especially when they learned that her brother could earn such a large number of high-level mana stones.
The next day, Anton headed to the beginner dungeon after making sure that the maids had enough funds to keep the house going for months. The dwarves did complain, though, before he left, that the treasure room housed such a huge amount of very costly items, and that more guards were needed. Anton told the dwarves that they could hire a couple more if they wanted and gave Ronia the budget needed for two more guards to be added to the household.
To be honest, Anton didn’t really care about the house and everything in it. The only reason he bought it was for the address that his father and his sister could send the letters to.
Anton changed his clothes into the common clothing that a beginner adventurer would wear, then proceeded to the beginner dungeon. He wanted to relax by joining a beginner group as a healer.
When he entered the tavern where he first met Flint and his group, they were there.
“Andrew, you're back!” Flint shouted, and the dwarf’s party mates greeted him.
There were two more in their party, and according to Flint, they were now delving into level four of the beginner dungeon.
“Yes. I want to help another beginner group,” Anton said directly, since he wanted to convey the fact that he would join the dwarf and his team again, but preferred to go with another newbie team.
“In that case, let me introduce you to those three over there,” Flint said while pointing at three young people seated near the door.
Anton and Flint walked towards the three who greeted the dwarf enthusiastically.
“Guys, this is Andrew!” Flint simply said, and then the dwarf left.
The three young people who couldn’t be more than twenty years old gaped at Anton.
“Sir Andrew! My name is Roki, this is my brother, Montu, and my cousin, Linda. Flint kept telling everyone about the powerful warrior healer who helped them delve the seventh floor of the dungeon and allowed them to earn the coins needed to upgrade their gear! Now their group is one of the most powerful here, able to delve the fifth floor!” The young man who introduced himself as Roki said.
“So I’m well known now? Can I join your party, then? Let’s go to the fifth floor. I’ll make sure that you will not die and that you’ll be able to kill all the monsters there,” Anton said directly.
“But we can only delve into the first floor,” the only girl in the group said, looking scared.
“Linda is our mage. I’m a Thief, and Montu is a warrior. If we hadn’t heard the stories that Flint had told about you, we would have declined, but they said that you can even regrow a lost limb. We’re ready whenever you are!” Roki said excitedly, directly ignoring his cousin’s trembling reaction about the three of them agreeing to dive to the fifth floor.
