Spending my retirement in a game

chapter 89

"Omega..?" Eisen muttered to himself as he heard the young man yell this out. He definitely knew that from somewhere. Could it be that this man was another player?

If he was, Eisen should probably try and figure out a way to convey that he also is a player. There was a quite simple way to do that. Eisen squatted down in front of the blanket that the items the man was selling were lying on while Bree was looking around at another stall. "So, you're an Omega?"

Happy that there finally was a potential customer, the man crossed his arms smugly and nodded. "Exactly! I'm one of those people that suddenly appeared out of nowhere! Do you not want to see what such an amazing and mysterious being has to offer?"

Eisen looked around himself to make sure there really were only the man and Caria around him. He may have said he was a player, but there might be some person from this world trying to take an advantage of such a situation, so Eisen wanted to confirm the situation. It was kind of risky, so he would have preferred not having to use this, but Eisen held his hand in front of his eyes, only leaving a thin slit open to see through, and activated his Truth Seeing Eyes skill to appraise the man.

The thing about appraising others was that it also seemed to show whether or not someone was a player, but since Eisen didn't possess a regular Appraisal skill anymore, he could only use the skill that literally changed the way his eyes looked, and he didn't just want to reveal the fact that he possessed it.

But luckily, the information window that popped up in front of the man really confirmed the situation.

[Player - Komer]

[Race - Human][Occupation - None][Level - 4]

Eisen quickly deactivated his skill and then extended his hand toward the omega player Komer to greet him. "Nice to meet you. I'm one of the originals, do you know what that is?"

Instinctively, Komer shook Eisen's hand without even realizing what he said, and only in the middle of that greeting did he think about what this old man in front of him was talking about. "H-Huh? And Original...? So you're also a pla-" Komer held his hand in front of his mouth immediately before he managed to finish this sentence. You were not supposed to mention players to the NPCs in the game, and there was a little girl next to the man who didn't seem like another player. Eisen realized his worries as well, and began to chuckle lowly.

"Don't worry, she's a tamed monster. We can talk about it in front of her." Eisen explained, and this really seemed to be the case. At least there was never a penalty when talking about being a player in front of Caria or Jyuuk's beasts before, so that seemed to be so that players choosing to be tamers could talk to other players freely. After all, tamed beasts had to be quite close to you most of the time.

"O-Oh, I see. Then you're also a player? One of the five that were mentioned when I started playing?" Kemor tilted his head to the side and used his appraisal skill, his highest rank skill so far at rank 2, on Eisen. When he did so, Eisen felt slight shivers all over his body, the same feeling back when Belrim appraised him when he first got to Melroe. This really was an uncomfortable feeling, but Eisen couldn't complain since he also technically appraised Komer just now.

But before Eisen could even answer, Komer opened his eyes wide in surprise. "Huh? I can't see any information about you beside your name... Eisen, right?"

"Ah, that is quite natural. You used the Appraisal Skill, it seems. When trying to appraise someone with a much higher level than yours, you simply don't get much information. And yes, my name is Eisen."

"Oh, really? Are you amazingly strong, then? Ah, I'm Komer, by the way. Nice to meet you." Komer stood up so that he and Eisen could talk more easily, looking the old man up and down. While Komer was still wearing the clothes that he got when he first started playing, Eisen already wore a quite high-quality outfit. To Komer, it seemed like he was a big spender, so the perfect person to try and sell some of these items to.
