Magic Shop System

"Nine thousand five hundred," Kadyn looked at the energy points in the virtual window with a pleasantly surprised expression. "I didn't think that in just a single day our shop would do such a good business. Maybe it is because our shop is new and everyone is curious about it, but still. I am just five hundred short of reaching ten thousand, and then I'll be able to upgrade it to rank 2."

 It was 9 o'clock in the night as he sat at the centre of the Meditation Formation. He thought briefly and went out. After ten minutes he arrived in front of the library that was at the very top of the building. He had already built around twenty per cent rune, but he had yet to learn any Rank 1 spell.

Spell Casters were different from Elementary Rank. At this stage, people didn't cast spells using magic stars. Instead, they used Spiritual Energy. Every spell had a unique pattern that people called Spell Glyph. 

Furthermore, some of the elements needed a few more things other than Spell Glyph to cast the spell. For example, summoning element. To summon above elementary rank magical creatures, mage needed the True Name of the beast. Summoning Spell Glyphs were useless without the True Name of the creature. Or a Curse Element, it needed the hair, nail, or anything related to the person on which one wanted to cast the curse — or of course, one could just use True Name.

[Note: Creatures have the True Name of one word, but humans True Name is different — the date of birth, the place of birth, the time of birth, the parent's full name, and the victim's full name. All these elements together made the True Name of humans.]

As Kadyn read the information he frowned, as he remembered the time when he summoned a rank 1 creature at the time of his escape from the Magic Alliance — if it was impossible to summon Rank 1 magical creature without its True Name then how did he succeed the last time?

"That creature didn't reach Rank 1 yet," at this moment a voice sounded in Kadyn's head.

"Oh, you are still alive?" Kadyn said surprisingly.

"Of course, I am," the system replied.

"Anyways, what do you mean the creature wasn't Rank 1?"

"Because it wasn't," the system replied. "The magical beasts don't make a breakthrough to the Rank 1 in one go like humans. They merge a single star each time. That beast had merged nine stars, but he had yet to merge the last one, so it was still short to reach the Rank 1 magical beast."

"Doesn't that mean for beasts it's easy to reach the Rank 1 as compared to humans?"

"Easy? You are thinking too much. They need years to awaken just a single star, while you used just a few months to become a Spell Caster. Moreover, they need a huge amount of treasure to progress if they don't have a powerful bloodline."

"Oh," Kadyn nodded in understanding. After that he went to search for the spells. There were thousands of spells of all kinds and he had ten, uh… no, nine elements. The Blessing Element wasn't an element but a kind of ability. There was no shelf for the Blessing Element in the library either. He didn't know how and why he had such an element, but he thought it might be related to other elements and the system. Or maybe his… parents.

At this moment he arrived in front of the Fire Element section. He picked a scroll from the shelf and opened it. Deadly Show Off — it was the name of the spell. Kadyn got curious when he read the heading. But when he went through the summary, his expression became weird.

The spell was just — as its name said — to show off. It would set the hair of the mage on fire without hurting him, of course. And that was it. The Deadly Show Off.

Kadyn shook his head and picked another scroll. Fiery Typhoon — as the name suggested it would produce the typhoon of fire. It was an area attack. He could deal damage to an entire bunch of mages. However, the problem was that it needed a lot of mana to cast it, the low rank 1 mage won't be able to battle after casting the spell. 

Kadyn thought briefly but then shook his head. Although Kadyn had a huge amount of mana as compared to others, he didn't think it was plausible to waste just because he had more.

"Let's check out another spell," he picked another scroll. 

The name of the spell was Fire Smash. As soon as he read the details, Kadyn made up his mind to choose this one. It was a punching spell. As for why he chose it? Because it complimented him. 

After evolving his hand had become terrifyingly strong, and with the addition of the spell, he thought that could take down any Rank 1 mage easily. Furthermore, the spell also didn't require a huge amount of mana like Fiery Typhoon. A perfect pick.

After picking up the fire spell, he went towards the wind section, and then wood, and then others one by one. He took around two hours to choose the spells for all nine elements. 

As he was about to walk out of the library, he saw an additional shelf — Food Section. Curiosity got the better of him, and he picked a scroll and checked it out. Inside the scroll, there was a recipe, but it was not an ordinary recipe, it could heal the wounds of elementary mages.

After that he picked another scroll. It had the property to calm rank 1 mage when he was anxious or worried about something. One by one he checked tens of scrolls, and he could not help but exclaim in surprise. "If sister Rayna could learn these recipes, our restaurant would become famous overnight."

However, Rayna didn't have any energy points and Kadyn didn't want to help them too much. He shook his head and then went out of the library. 

 "I wonder what is going on in Avibria City? Did Elder Jyn find the whereabouts of father and mother?" he muttered, but then his eyes became bright. "Why am I muttering here when I have the strength to check everything out in person?"

He used the ability Pengolla Portal and a map appeared on the screen.. After two minutes of searching, he found the place he wanted to visit, and then he vanished.
