Chapter 5 - Sovereign Shop
The first impression Lucas got from the system in his head was not good because he felt he would once again fall in the circle of mission completion-reward.
However, when he heard the system notifications in his head, Lucas could not help but become a little curious regarding the 'Sovereign shop' mentioned by the system.
'Let's see what are the items inside the shop.'
Even though he didn't like the concept of Mission-reward, he felt there was nothing to lose in checking out the Sovereign shop.
'Ding,
A sovereign shop is a place where the host can buy the listed items for a certain price.
Even before Lucas could ask, the system sent a notification as though it was trying to make Lucas use the Sovereign shop.
'Let me check the items then.'
Since he had 9990 gold coins with him, Lucas wanted to check the items in the Sovereign shop.
'Ding,
Level 1 Sovereign shop,
1) Lesser knight pill - 100 sovereign points.
2) Lesser mage robe - 100 sovereign points.
3) Basic thunder spell - 10 sovereign points.
Note:- The items in the shop will be refreshed every week.
Soon, a holographic screen appeared in front of him with three items on it.
'Sovereign points might be a type of currency and it looks like I need to complete the missions to get them.'
Lucas silently thought in his head as he shook his head.
'Ding,
The host is only half-right because there are other ways to gain the sovereign points and it is by converting the gold coins.
'Ding,
1 sovereign point is equivalent to 100 gold coins.
Just as Lucas was about to reject the idea of buying the items from the sovereign shop, the system hurriedly sent a couple of system notifications.
'Interesting.'
Lucas felt it was a little interesting; however, he didn't find any of the three items suitable for him or his brother or the old Bernard.
'This body is not suited for magic and barely able to enter the second stage of Knight training. So, I can't use the Lesser knight pill to enter the Lesser knight realm.'
Even though he was not from this world, Lucas got to know everything that the previous owner of that body knew.
In the world, people pursue two types of training.
One is the 'Way of Knights' in which people want to become a Heavenly knight to rule the entire firmament; however, only a handful of them achieved this in history.
As for the other one, it was 'Way of Magic' where people's ultimate goal was to become Heavenly mage.
Compared to becoming a Heavenly Knight, becoming a Heavenly Mage is very hard. Moreover, very few people have the talent in 'Way of Magic'.
'To reach the Heavenly knight realm, one had to go through the Novice, Squire, Lesser knight, General Knight, Higher Knight. Furthermore, except for the first two stages, all the stages are classified into five tiers from tier 1 to tier 5.'
'Currently, I am just a lowly squire who can be squashed by others easily.'
After analysing his current situation, Lucas could not help but clench his fists.
"Young master."
Sensing that something was wrong with Lucas, the old man Bernard asked him face full of concern.
"It's nothing."
Lucas shook his head as he stood up before saying, "Old man, I want to know everything about this town before planning our future. Can you collect the information for me?"
"It is my duty to follow your orders, Family head. I will finish it as soon as possible."
Earlier, he was calling Lucas 'Young master'; however, now, he changed it to 'Family head'.
"Good. Go now."
Lucas sent the old man away.
He was not worried that the old man would get into any trouble because he is a General Knight. In this barren firmament, no one wants to get into a fight with a General Knight.
'Moreover, even if there were any Higher Knights in this town, the old man had his own way of protecting himself.'
From the memories, Lucas got to know the old man was a loyal servant of the previous family head who went through thick and thin with him. So, he didn't worry much about it.
'With the current amount of gold coins, we could live for a few years. I will wait until I get to know about this town before planning for the future.'
In his previous firmament, 10000 gold coins were not much; however, in this barren firmament, he and his brother could live for years without compromising their previous lifestyle.
After thinking that, Lucas rested on the soft bed in his room.
'Ding,
Host, please check out the other functions of the system.
Just as he closed his eyes, the system once again sent the notification which irritated him.
'I will check it in the morning. Don't disturb me until then.'
Lucas didn't have the mood to check as he was already tired as hell. So, he warned the system to not irritate him until morning before going back to sleep.
Once it received the warning, the system didn't dare to annoy Lucas anymore.
.....
Morning,
'Ding,
Host, can you check the other functions of the system now?
The system waited until the morning before sending the system notification to Lucas.
'Damn you...didn't I tell you to wait until morning?'
Lucas woke up as he cursed the system in his head; however, when he saw through the window, he saw the sun rays enter through the glass window.
'When was the last time I slept so well like this.'
Suddenly, Lucas recalled his past life where he never slept properly as he didn't know when he would die.
However, now, he was able to sleep without any distractions.
'Sorry'
After realizing that he scolded the system for nothing, he apologized in a single word.
'Ding,
Host, can you please check the other functions of the system now?
Once again the system sent the same notification; however, this time, it added 'Please' which made him shake his head.
'Sure. Show all the functions of the system then.'
Since the system was literally begging him, Lucas decided to check out the functions of the system.
