Only My Weapons Level UP

Chapter 4: Magic weapons

When Terry left the portal, the sun was already setting, and the guards stopped him since he didn't seem to be a regular. He also didn't look particularly strong, so they wondered why he only returned now. All the people that entered the portal had done that in the morning.

"I would like to sell these magic stones," Terry said while pointing to his backpack.

The guard nodded while frowning. He was a man who had shaved his head and was wearing a full plate of silver armor, and he truly looked like someone who could be called Guard A.

In any case, Terry said that he wanted to sell his magic stones, but it was clear that his backpack was filled with some other monsters' parts. The guard guided him to a stand nearby that was selling soup made using the Sahuagins meat, and only at that moment he noticed that he didn't lie...

"... Which guild are you affiliated with?" The guard asked.

"None," Terry replied.

"What is your name?" The guard asked.

Terry considered what he should do... he would rather keep his name hidden for a while, but if he hid it, he might not buy the items that he wanted for a decent price.

"Terry," Terry replied.

While few people knew him, it wouldn't be hard to investigate his origin. When one tried to register for a mission to awaken their traits, they had to show an id and a copy of it to the guild, so Terry decided to answer.

"... You can receive 22.200 dollars for the magic stones," the guy who checked the magic stones said while looking at the guard.

"If you don't belong to a guild, you can join ours. Our members only have to pay twenty percent of the price of the things they get," the guard said after understanding the look of the shopkeeper.

"It is cool, I already applied to this guild, and I never received an answer," Terry said. "Anyway, can I get the money now? Please transfer to this number."

Those two wanted to insist, but they decided to back down for now. Although Terry used his last reserves to buy the cell phone just to check his bank account, it was worth it. His eyes turned into dollar signs when he saw the money coming in, so he went to check the stands around selling things.

Aside from the usual items that were weapons and armor, accessories, skill books, and food were also being sold. Food using monsters' meat usually boosts the parameters of the people. The soup of the sahuagin makes people recover mana faster, and the salamanders do the same thing with stamina.

While their potential was weak, Terry would be fine with the knives and spear for the time being, so he looked for other things. He had never made that much money before, so he felt like splurging a bit.

Terry found swords, magic wands, crossbows, axes, and whips... the variety wasn't half bad, but the quality was. The sellers let him check the weapons and confirm their parameters, but they were barely one or two levels above the spear in terms of quality.

"While it seems like a good idea to buy ranged weapons like a crossbow or a magic wand, I am still a newbie when it comes to fighting monsters... I need to get more experience at close range," Terry thought. "Not like I will get much here..."

In the end, Terry bought those two, each for two thousand dollars. He wanted to buy even the most useless skill book, but the cheapest cost 25k... not even in years of living alone, Terry spent that much buying meat. In any case, there were a few things he wanted to test with those later.

"Skill books and magic weapons are only a small extension of the traits that people have, but maybe they can be a bit different for me considering my trait..." Terry thought while he was heading home while carrying a massive bottle filled with the Sahuagin soup.

While Terry enjoyed a good life, his grinding mindset got the better of him, and thanks to it, he was already thinking of his next training session. That was why he bought so much soup.

When Terry arrived at home, the area was already pretty dark. It was easy to trip by stepping on all kinds of things around, but he avoided them all since he knew that part so well. Moreover, Terry was going to use the fact that such a part of the city was left behind in his favor.

After turning some lamps inside, Terry headed outside, and then he used the crossbow. He made it fly into the distance, but it only crossed twenty meters before disappearing...

Fire Crossbow Lv 0 (01/00 EXP) (Common)

Magic Power: 02

Cost: 05 MP

Durability: 03/03

"I guess it is working," Terry nodded to himself.

He used the weapon again, but after five times, Terry felt lightheaded, and when he pulled the trigger, nothing happened. He was out of mana... he truly didn't have a talent for magic. Regardless, he began to drink the soup and felt his mind getting clear again. He began to use the crossbow until he ran out of mana... the rate was a bit on the low side, but a single bow was enough for Terry to recover his mana.

"Time to fill my belly until I can't endure anymore," Terry said.

That was a weird way of grinding, but Terry didn't care. Results are everything, that was why he trained so hard for the last ten years, and he wasn't going to stop now. He will keep going until he gets all the results.
