Fantasy Realm [One Piece] [Harry Potter] [Naruto] - [Progression] [LitRPG]

Chapter 15: Hidden Paths and Quiet Preparations

Alex, with newfound confidence and a stronger sense of self-preservation, finally decides that hoarding points for a future stat boost was a fool's errand. He strides purposefully toward the village store, determined to use his contribution points wisely this time.

Looking carefully at the items in the store, Alex makes his selections, intent on surviving the coming battles:

[Quality Fur Gauntlets]

With just 30 points remaining, Alex decides to round off his purchases with some food, like he bought the last few days from time to time:

[Smoked Wolf Jerky] x3
World: One Piece
Quality: Gray (Inferior)
Effect: Slowly restores 10 HP over the course of 10 minutes
Note: Smells bad, tastes bad—what do you expect? Just shut up and eat if you don't want to starve!
Cost: 30 contribution points

Now fully equipped, Alex takes a deep breath. His worn-out boots, stained with blood and dirt from the last battle, are tossed into a far corner of his inventory. He straps on his new fur armor, appreciating how much warmer it is. Though Navalia was located in the East Blue, the island's proximity to the Grand Line and the near Calm Belt made it perpetually chilly. The new fur-lined gear not only made Alex feel secure but also protected him from the biting cold.

Once he's all geared up, Alex wonders what to do next. Should he spend time practicing with his new bow? He still has some leftover basic arrows.

[Basic Arrow] x16
Quality: Gray
Durability: 2/2
Damage: 2-3
Note: A poorly made arrow. The arrowhead is bound clumsily with bone. Don't expect to win any archery contests with this.
