The Defiance Of A Pair Of Lilies

6 «Party Members, and some Equipment»

I slept like a rock for ten hours today. Yesterday was really tiresome. I had to almost completely deplete my MP in a really, really short and anticlimactic fight with a level 2 and a ghoul made of flames. Luckily, mana recovers the same as energy; just eat or sleep and you'll be fine.

Yesterday, I had the time to set up my status with the points I had due to the system. I even tried reclaiming some skills/spells I had from Earth. Like for example, [Lightning/Electric Magic]. I had most of my Skill points distributed between it and my [Body Enhancement] skill since it's what I would almost always use on Earth. I do kinda want to be able to use other elements but that'll have to wait until I get used to the magic system here.

On another note, I checked the <Eclipse> Skill tree that I got at the same time as my title. It was how you'd expect it to look like. From a single cell, it branched out into hundreds of others. The skill tree branched out into all the main classes that I could choose from. The system told me that I could only choose up to two classes, and that if I had already chosen, I wouldn't be able to reset it.

The classes were just separated into seven classes; Fighter, Swordsman, Brute, Archer, Mage, Alchemist, and Healer. Though all of the classes had an attribute of [Darkness]. I didn't really have two classes in mind but the Mage class is already set in stone, I just had to choose another. Also, I wasn't able to choose one first then the second one later. I would be stuck with just one class if I did so. And since that was the case, I left it for later.

Also, expenses in this world are really easy to understand and manage, as long as you have the money. The food and living expenses are just the perfect amount for the amount of money I have. Everything is practically perfect here!(minus the literal dangers that is almost everywhere)

I was going to stay in the inn for about a week or so before I probably give Markus an answer. I can't really get used to being asked to be their child. Really, I don't even know why but it gets me embarrassed.

So, after I left the inn to go either down the dungeon, or find something else to do in town to save the dungeon for later. I just wandered around for a while until I saw something interesting.

At the end of some small path between two shops, I caught a glimpse of something that shined, like a metallic shine that you would only be able to see from afar if it's been really well-made. I went towards the isolated part of town and once arriving in front of the place I saw the shining metal, which was from a set of armor. It was a weapon/armor blacksmith shop.

Seeing that I don't really have any sort of armor to protect myself(except for the fur coat I was wearing). As I opened the door, a shrill sound came from the chimes above. Walking inside with the intent to find some sort of armor that would be enough for me and would also look good, I found out that there were almost no product inside that looked crude. They were all really well made.

From the swords that hang on the walls, to the armor, whether bulky or small, looked really durable. I was really surprised that the equipment hasn't even sold out yet.

Then, I saw the one behind the counter. He was someone that looked about my age. He was even sleeping even though the sound coming from the chimes should've already woken him up. His hair looked a fair bit in the middle of the color orange and red but was still really red. It was messy, as you would expect of someone who sleeps on the job and is just about to start puberty, or maybe I'm just being biased.

I knocked four times on the counter to see if he would wake up. He didn't, is what he thinks that I thought. I saw his eyebrows crease for a fraction of a second before he returned to his sleeping expression.

"Oi, I know you're awake." I said, but of course he didn't respond. He just stayed there trying to pretend to be asleep. It irritated me teensy little bit.
