My Fenrir System: Heir To The End

Chapter 22: Selling manna stones

Once outside the dungeon, they were met with a beautiful sunset. The sun's rays filtered through the leaves of the trees, tinting the surroundings in shades of orange, while in the distance the sounds of cars could be heard.

"Phew... we finally got out of that place" Violet exclaimed tiredly, looking up and letting the gentle afternoon breeze caress her face. Thinking about the trouble they were in now.

"Yes, we finally made it!"

Erik assisted with a smile, stretching his arms which were a bit stiff. Due to the fact that he had just moved up in rank and practically just revived and had all stiff joints.

'Now, we have to find a way to deal with that guild.'

This was the important thing, at this point because it's 100% certain that they found out that he killed the Luminis guild president's son.

Erik looked back and saw that the dungeon had not disappeared yet, after being cleared.

"By the way, will the dungeon disappear or will it stay and new monsters will come out?" asked Erik.

He had no idea how dungeons work after being cleared, because it was his first time clearing one, and he wanted to know if the dungeon disappears or if the monsters regenerate again.

"Hmm, this dungeon will disappear in a few minutes" Violet replied.

"Oh, this dungeon disappears, what are the dungeons that don't disappear?" I ask this was the doubt I had at the moment, because according to what I had heard on the news there are dungeons that don't disappear.

Do you want to know the difference between dungeons that disappear and those that don't?

"The dungeons that don't disappear, are the ones that don't kill the boss monster. meaning that if you don't kill the boss monster the dungeon doesn't disappear" Violet explained.

"Hmm, I understand."

Erik now understands why some dungeons don't disappear, it's because they don't kill the boss monsters.

Also, some dungeons are rich in materials, so it would be a waste, plus humans by nature are greedy enough to let go of a gold mine like dungeon resources.

"So we're leaving now?" Violet asked.

"Of course no problem."

They headed toward the parking lot stop, which was quite far away, where Violet had her powerful motorcycle.

After walking for a few minutes, they arrived at the parking lot, where the only vehicle was the impressive black Kawasaki H2R.

Violet took off her mage robe and underneath wore a black sweatshirt with purple shades. She got on the bike and handed the helmet to Erik.

"Get on."

Erik was undecided and hesitated between riding with this woman or waiting for the bus. He was seriously considering the option of waiting for the bus and going quietly to his old apartment.

"Why are you hesitating? Get on before the traffic starts."

He didn't hesitate any longer and put on his helmet, securing his backpack tightly on his back. Erik thought the dungeons were dangerous and didn't understand why he hesitated to ride with Violet.

'I'm a man... Well, I was. Anyway, whatever' He sat behind Violet and grabbed her around the waist, not wanting to fall off the bike.

Violet, seeing that Erik had gone upstairs, sped off to the mana stone store before they closed.

....

After a journey of an hour and a half, as night slowly fell, Erik and Violet found themselves in front of the mana stone store. The building was much like a bank, with the only difference being that hunters came here to sell the stones they obtained from the dungeons.

They both headed towards the entrance of the place and upon entering they noticed that it was almost empty, as it wasn't long before it closed. This turned out to be perfect for Erik and Violet, who didn't want to draw too much attention to themselves.

"Can I help you with anything?" the worker said with a professional smile, though inside she was grumbling at these two for arriving just minutes before the close of business for the day.

"We're here to sell all these mana stones," Erik said, placing the medium-sized bag full of stones on the counter.

The worker almost broke her professional smile. Inwardly she was cursing Erik and Violet for arriving at that hour to sell so many mana stones. The worker let out an internal sigh and said:

"Please empty the mana stones into this basket."

Emptying all the mana stones, into the basket, the worker felt like crying, she seriously wanted to throw these people out right now for bringing so many mana stones just about to close. With just a glance, he could see that there were more than a hundred mana stones in the tray.

"One question, how did you get so many mana stones?" She asked after seeing the overwhelming amount.

"We had them in storage," Erik lied matter-of-factly.

"..."

The worker obviously didn't believe him. Seeing the clothes soaked in monster blood and the hole in his shirt exposing his scarred abdomen, he decided not to ask. He knew that if he probed further he might get into trouble.

What could she, as an ordinary worker, do? Against a hunter who was much stronger than normal people, it was risky.

Having no choice she began to count the mana stones in the basket silently, with a married expression. Also, I feel the intense stares of Erik and Violet.

"By the way, what are we doing tomorrow?" asked Violet.

"Hmm... Tomorrow we're going to a dungeon. Now that we're D-rank, hunting should be a lot easier," replied Erik.

"But wouldn't it raise suspicion if we were constantly clearing dungeons?"

"Yes, but that's what we have to do if we want to get stronger" Erik replied with a shrug. It was either that or waiting for death to come for them.

"That's right, I was asking an obvious question," Violet muttered wearily.

It was her first time being in this situation, where her life was in real danger. Not by a monster, but by someone of her own kind, a human. Therefore, it was normal for her to be confused.

"And why don't we join a guild and then we'll be safe?" she suggested.

"Are you listening to yourself? Didn't you say that he is the president of an emerging guild, while we are simply unknown D-rank hunters?" said Erik with a serious expression.

"Do you think those guilds will back us up? Think about getting stronger right now, don't let thoughts cloud your judgment" He added.

Violet kept silent. She didn't know what was happening to her. She was not like that. She had always been a rational and intelligent person. But now she realized that she wasn't as rational as she thought. Just knowing that she had an important guild president behind her was driving her crazy.

But she still doesn't understand how he can be so confident even though this whole future war is against him. If it were a bet, it would be 99.9% to lose and only 0.1% to win. But at that moment came the memories of Erik, recovering from nothing, from a completely certain death. He was missing all his organs and his left arm.

Although this increased their chances a little, it was still not entirely certain that they would survive.

"That's it, it's all counted. Follow me this way to give you your count," the worker spoke after counting 150 E-rank mana stones.

"How much do E-rank mana stones sell for?"

"With all and taxes, they normally sell for $26.2 dollars." replied the worker.

Erik's eyes widened like saucers when he heard the value of a mana stone of rank E. So, in one afternoon, they had made approximately $3,000 dollars.

He had never made so much money before, now he realized why the hunters dwelling so well and how important the dungeon materials were.

'If I continue like this, I can buy an apartment of my own'.

Erik sees it as possible that if he continues like this it is not an impossible dream to buy an apartment, because where he lives is not the best in the world either.

The worker, after finishing filling out the bill, said, "Would you prefer the money or would you prefer that we transfer it to your bank account?".

"Please transfer to the bank account."

"Could you please provide me with your details?"

Erik handed over the information. Shortly thereafter he received a notification on his phone. He checked it and saw that the money had arrived in his account: $3,930. This brought a big smile to his face.

He had never had so much money in his account before. Now he felt that everything he had suffered was worth it to see his bank account.

He left the place together with Violet.

"Could you give me your account number to make the transfer?" said Erik with a smile, he was in a good mood because of the money he had earned that day.

"Sure, my account number is ******."

Erik wrote down the number and transferred $1965 dollars, which was half of the total amount. After checking that the money had arrived, Violet said:

"I'll take you home."

"Sure."

Erik didn't hesitate, he put on his helmet and got on the bike with a smile, he now had a lot of money in his account.

....

After a long while, Violet arrived at the place where Erik had told her he lived. Erik got off and handed the helmet to Violet.

"Thank you."

"I didn't expect you to live in such a bad place," Violet commented, a little surprised to see Erik's dwelling.

"Well, I've been an orphan for as long as I can remember. It's a miracle I don't live on the street," Erik explained. He was not offended by what Violet said, because it was true. What she said was completely true.

"Why don't you come live with me?" suggested Violet, not intending to offend him, since she meant it from her heart.

"Are you sure?" asked Erik. If she was willing, he wasn't going to refuse. He wouldn't let his pride keep him in this place that wasn't very good.

But Erik was forgetting something rather important: every time he didn't complete a mission, he was transported to a random location. How would he explain this to Violet?

"Of course I'm sure. If I wasn't, I wouldn't have suggested it to you," Violet stated.

"Then it's no problem. I'll see you again tomorrow."

"Okay, text me to arrange where to meet before we go to the dungeons," Violet said as she walked away.

Erik walked through the door of his old apartment with a smile, ready to live his last night in that place. Upon entering, he plopped down on the bed and pulled the sword out of inventory, deciding to examine its description before going to sleep.

[Vortex of the night]

Description: It is a sword of dark and mysterious beauty. Its blade, razor-sharp, seems to be made of an unknown material, dark as midnight, but with a subtle glow of violet hues.

Features:

- Curse of the Eternal Night

- Locked

- Locked

After reading the description of the sword, Erik's smile grew wider. He kept it in his inventory, as for now he had no intention of using it for the time being. He was more accustomed to using the spear.

"Uaaah..."

Erik let out a long yawn and closed all the windows. Soon after he fell asleep.
