The night of transition comes in the middle of the night, hidden in a secret that makes people breathe fast with hope and sadness. He stopped in front of a house on the outskirts of town that looked the same from the outside as the warehouses next to it. But the glitter of the shadow runs on the door reveals its wonderful purpose.
Adam adjusts the dark scarf to his lower face and checks the reflection in the nearby window. The face of anonymity pleased him good It was not Adam, the F-rated vigilante, but a shady businessman involved in a world of power and influence.
The Holder's Token, a small token inscribed with arcane symbols, was quietly turned in his pocket.
The door opened, and a well-dressed servant emerged, bowing to Adam. "That's it, sir."
Inside, the air hummed with a quiet intensity. The midnight exchange was unlike anything Adam had ever imagined. The chandeliers were made from the spirit of inspiration The room was bathed in soft light by the crystals, the rows of elegant black chairs arranged in front of the large stage. Around him, the participants wore expensive robes and suits.
each person radiating an aura of wealth, power, or both.
Adam sat down, slumping down on a chair at the edge of the room. His eyes wandered, the competition listed. He saw a Ohooho dressed in light combat gear, a woman whose movements indicated the strength of a warrior. near the center of the city In the room sat a group of sharply dressed people, whispering to each other with sharp looks and numbers.
His instincts called for him to go, but the staff hidden under his cloak was his ticket to something greater.
The trade began with little enthusiasm. The items on display were rare and highly sought after: a chain filled with a protective veil, a jar of fat to enhance basic skills, and even a set of instructions for the Lost Martial Arts Division
The requests rose, numbers exchanged in whispers and soft gestures.
When the staff was read, the room fell silent.
Adamu described the object as a merchant - a man whose voice was as smooth as polished glass.
"My lords, our next item is a rock of unknown origin, salvaged from the depths of the Otherworld. The art and its powers are unique. .. Yes, it is clear about the release to be found
The searchlight illuminated the 4,444 workers, creating a glow of light that seemed to attract the crowd.
When the application began, Adam's heart was touched.
"Five thousand spirit stones."
"Ten thousand."
"Fifteen!"
Numbers are entered quickly and each shipment is sent smoothly. Adam looked at the workers with a mixture of detachment and excitement. It's not just an object. This is the beginning of something bigger.
Last Merchant The blow struck his skin, and the staffs were sold for the high price of thirty-five thousand soul stones.
Returning to the storage room, Adam received his money in a shiny black box. The weight of the stones was tangible and symbolic, a reminder of the loss he had suffered.
The gatekeeper emerged with a small smile on his lips. "A wonderful first game. The transfer will remember you. "
Adam nodded, his expression blank. "Glad to hear that."
As he left the house, the cold night air of the city hit him like a blast. He held the frame, his mind racing with possibilities.
This is just the beginning. The moneylender opened a door at midnight and Adam was determined to go through it. But he knew that with each step forward, more secrets and knowledge would be revealed.
The stakes are rising, and Adam will not stop until he has won both worlds.
