"WHAT THE—" The employee at the bank almost fell out of his chair as he stared in disbelief at the amount of gold you offered in exchange. One pouch of bits of gold. You were both seated, facing each other on the office desk to exchange gold for money.

"So...how much is it?" You said, unfazed by his reaction. The employee composed himself and cleared his throat. "Unfortunately, we don't have the right amount to exchange that much gold. We are sorry." He bowed apologetically but he continues on. "However, the maximum number of berries we could give is thirty thousand berries."

Your eyes widen at the price. Thirty thousand, that amount will last me for months. "Ah, I see. That will be enough for me. Anyways, just take the whole pouch. Thirty thousand sounds a lot already."

"EH!?" The employee screamed in shock and cleared his throat once again. "R-Really?"

Although, the amount of gold you are giving was not really much a bother since you can summon more as you like. Practically, you were infinitely rich. "Yes." You simply replied.

But not only that, you observed the village that they were only average and defenseless. Offering that much gold might benefit them, either hiring more guards or buying their supplies or necessities.

After the exchange, you thanked the employee and went out. Next location, a bookstore since you wanted to buy informational books about the foreign things you got to know in this world. The path you were taking was almost empty as only a few people were lingering around.

It must be quite peaceful in this village and it was the perfect for blending in as a normal citizen however it wasn't your type of place. You would love more nature around and live outside the village in a middle of a forest.

And everything here looks bland.

A few minutes of walking and following the barkeeper's direction, you arrived to the bookstore. A fairly small bookstore. There was a sign indicating it and a huge window showing all the books. Inside you can see an old lady sipping to her tea. She is very short and looks kind.

After observing the whole store from outside, you entered. The bell above the door chimes indicating your entrance. The old lady looked up and smiles at you. "Welcome. Are you here to check out books?" She said in a sweet tone.

"Good afternoon." You bowed politely and looked back up once more to answer her question. "Yes, I would also like to buy some also. Do you have any books about the world?"

"About the world? Anything specific dear?"

"Well, just about it." You scratched the nape of your neck awkwardly. It's not like I'm new to this world or anything or the fact I magically poofed here.

"Well..." She points towards the section. "If you're looking those types of books, there right over there." You glanced towards it to see a whole bookshelf about it with a sign— geography and history.
