Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

"Hahahah!"

"Henry, did you see his face?"

"Relax kid, we are not bandits."

\'Is this guy nuts?\'

Lucas gave an inexplicable gaze towards Henry who shook his head as if agreeing with Lucas\'s thoughts.

"You can take it and sell it on your own or you can leave it to us after giving us your details."

"We will transfer the credits into your account."

"How much will this be worth?"

Derrick rubbed his chin, glanced at the corpse, and looked at Lucas\'s bright eyes.

"Lucas this could be sold for somewhere around 25,000-30,000R, however...."

"You see all those stabs...You have destroyed the outer fur which had many uses. In this condition, it will only fetch around 10-15000R."

Hearing this, Lucas wanted to hit his head.

\'Why...just did I have to stab it multiple times.\'

\'Mother was correct...A person should remain calm and level-headed. I halved the price of the hunt.\'

Lucas wiped away his virtual tears and pondered.

The corpse weighs a lot. There is no way he could carry it and sell it. Moreover, since he was a newbie, the seller would surely haggle over the price.

"I will leave it to you. You can take 10% of the earnings."

Lucas only trusted them because when many people escaped and turned their back on Mist City these two stood till the end to protect and evacuate the citizens. Moreover, even if they cheated him, Lucas would surely get back at them once he gets stronger.

Snap...

"Hey, kid look at me."Derrick snapped his fingers and pointed at his face.

"Do, I look like a person who needs a tip."

"This much money amounts to nothing."

"Still, thanks for your kindness."

"You are a good kid but being too kind will cause you more trouble in the world, especially the place where you are going."

"Remember my words, Horizon is not a play centre to enjoy. It\'s a wolf den."

"You are going to be devoured if you are too kind."

Lucas wondered how the conversation ended up here, but still, he thanked him for the advice.

"We both passed out from Horizon so he tends to be sensitive when it comes to anything about Horizon," Henry muttered while Derrick went towards the corpse and pulled it into his storage.

"Did he have a traumatic experience while he was in the academy?"

"Was he bullied?"Lucas asked.

"No, he got it worse."

"He was robbed," Henry answered.

"Of what, money?"

"His girlfriend," Lucas\'s eyes widened and his gaze alternated between Henry\'s serious face and Derrick\'s back.

Henry and Lucas gave Derrick a pitiful look.

Both of them understood each other\'s thoughts and prayed silently for the brave broken heart warrior Derrick.

They gave Lucas a ride towards Ivan and parted from him near the city gates.

The soldiers guarding the gates checked people before letting them pass through but with Derrick\'s help, Lucas skipped the procedure.

Most of the inn closed their door on seeing a person drenched in blood so he had to look for the one where the mercenaries stayed.

Lucas searched for an Inn and the first thing he did after going into his room was to soak himself in water.

Blood and dirt had dried on his body.

He scrubbed himself thoroughly to get rid of the dirt and then started to clean his only left uniform.

"It was only yesterday but it feels as if I have been here for months."Lucas pondered with an amused expression.

It hadn\'t been a few hours since morning when the mere sight of blood disgusted him, however after going through a blood bath it seems his body had somewhat adapted to it though he was still feeling uncomfortable.

Every time he thinks about the deformed corpses he feels nauseous.

It was to the point, he decided to skip food today.

Dressing plainly, Lucas stood before the mirror to take a look at his current self.

"Ehhhh!"

Lucas was startled for a moment as he saw the mirror.

He rubbed his eyes, pulling his brows up and down.

"Is this guy a zombie?"

With a sunken cheek and eyes, there were two large dark circles underneath his eyes similar to the Pandas.

His bones were visible through the skin and one could count his ribs by sliding fingers through them.

His figure was similar to a skeleton.

"Did this guy die quite a long time ago causing his muscles to degrade? If not for being skinny, this guy might have looked good."

Pale white skin, jet black and golden eyes that seemed to be dried without a shred of life.

"Golden eyes."

"This feels weird yet quite intriguing."

The colour of the eyes seemed to be the only special feature of this guy.

Lucas closed his eyes, emptying his thoughts and then thought about the system.

A screen appeared before him as he opened his eyes.

He remembered a chim when he killed the Direwolf but he was too busy to keep himself alive.

He observed his status screen and noticed his exp being 1900.

"1900 points. Derrick said the Direwolf was at the peak of 1-Star."

"I needed 500 points to open the shop."

"Hopefully, I may find something that could help me."

Praying in his heart, he clicked on the shop\'s tab under which three new tabs appeared.

===========

[Shop]

[Items] [Potions] [Skills]

============

Lucas rubbed his palms with a salivating expression and clicked on the Item tab

[Item]

[Beauty Comb]=100 Experience

After combing your hair with this your charm would increase for an hour.

[Calming Candy]=100 experience

Calms your mind and brings you to a relaxed state making you think you are in heaven.

[Sleeping pillow]- 100 experience

This helps you to have a nice and comfortable sleep, making you feel energised after you wake up.

"...."

His mind was unable to process for a moment after seeing the list of items.

"I did not expect much but this...I mean it is helpful but.."

"Do I look like a woman or do you want me to charm a monster?"

"While fighting with the Direwolf, I felt my balls coming out from the mouth and you are giving me a beauty comb."

"Wait! Is this system teasing me by saying you are ugly?"

If this was not enough, here comes another ultra pro max level item.

The Calming pill.

It seemed to be useful at first but when his eyes fell on the words relaxed state and heaven, he did not know what to say.

He could have used it to calm himself down during intense battle but if it put him into a relaxed state then does not it mean he was just offering his life to his enemy.

"What the hell?"

"Is this calming candy or drug candy? Is the system trying to sell me drugs?"

"Maybe I can use it on the enemy."

Suppressing his frustration, he glanced at the last item. It was great.

He needs it. He needs stress-free sleep more than ever otherwise he may go senile if he starts seeing nightmares again and again.

Taking a deep breath, he clicked on the skills.

[Skills]

Rank : [G ]

[Flash steps]: 2000 exp

Increase your speed by one minor realm for 10 seconds.

Cool down time: 3 minutes

[Earth shield]: 1000 exp

Cast a rock shield of a diameter of 0.5m.

[Fireball]: 1000 exp

[Ice Lance]: 2000 exp

Helps you to shoot an ice spear about half a meter long towards the enemy.

[Superior Mana Breathing]:15000 Exp

Breathing is the key to sustaining life. Mana Breathing is a powerful technique that can help to harmonise your body and spirit while filling your organs, meridians and acupoints with mana. It cleanses the waste and at the same time washes away the accumulated exhaustion and hastens the natural healing of your body.

Lucas gasped in shock for a moment. All of the skills were useful to him.

Skills can be bought with money.

Skill can be summarised as a magic spell that the user can cast without knowing any spells or magic.

Mages reigned Supreme for ages while warriors fell short.

It leads to the birth of a Magical Swordsman who knew magic as well as swordsmanship however, they have a fatal flaw.

Not all warriors have an aptitude for magic and a Magic Swordsman needs to divert his attention to both which makes it harder for him to reach the peak.

It was then a Magical Swordsman with the help of his Magician friend worked together which led to the invention of skills.

The Skills are stored in a book or crystal stone and it directly transfers the learnt information to your brain making it readily available for your use.

It allowed Swordsman not only to save time but also helped them to reach greater heights bringing them on par with Magician.

What made Lucas happy the most was the Breathing Technique.

The breathing technique is the foundation for an awakened one. Without proper breathing techniques, you could not furnish your mana or execute battle techniques.

"Mana breathing is not a skill or maybe it is, I don\'t know. There is no art here. I wonder why."

For a warrior, arts matter more than skills so it was let down to not have any art here. That means he needs to look for art by himself.

"I hope that the potions do not let me down."

[Potions]

[Intermediate]: 25000 exp

[Advanced ]: 75,000 exp

|Mana Potions|

Lucas jolted in shock and his jaw widened as he scrolled down to the next section.
