Kadyn healed his wounds with the potion and gave his clothes to Hicka, as his own had been torn apart. Though he was still weak, as the blood loss was excessive. He wasn't feeling as much pain as before and was just exhausted and fatigued and frail.

After that Kadyn sent him to the Formation Hall to rest as that place was empty for the time being and the best place to rest.

"Next!" he shouted. Everyone was standing with dazed faces, jolted awake by his commanding tone.

"Ah, yes, it's me." A kid at the front said, smiling abashedly. "Six hours, Meditation Room, and three rounds, Practice Room."

"Fifteen hundred dollars," Kadyn said.

The customers continued to pour into the shop. Some in groups, while others in ones or twos. Though Kadyn couldn't feel any happiness. His entire attention was still on Fenon. He needed to deal with that scum, or it could become a terrible mistake. He'd have to deal with him.

Kadyn didn't even realise how insane the idea of killing someone was—for someone who was from earth. However he was thinking about doing it himself without even realising. He had indeed changed or was in the process of changing.

When all the customers were gone, a familiar man appeared in his shop. He was wounded like last time, grabbing his stomach with his right hand, a failed attempt to stop the bleeding from oozing out of his wound.

As Kadyn's gaze met with Khrom, the man grinned, revealing his blood clotted teeth inside his mouth. "Long time no see." His gruff and tired voice sounded. He stumbled towards the counter with shaking legs.

"What happened to you? It's been over ten days since your last visit." Kadyn frowned when he saw claw marks on his body. It looked even more terrible than before. Blood oozed out of his wounds, dripping on the ground with an audible sound, drip, drip, drip.

"Ohh, I had something to do." Khrom replied, still smiling. "Do you have a Soothing Drop?"

Kadyn said nothing. He eyed the man in front of him and asked. "You seem in a good mood today."

Khrom peered at Kadyn and chuckled. "Indeed, I am. I have killed that sow in the end. What can make me happier than this?"

Kadyn probed no further and brought a potion from the counter and passed it to Khrom. "Twelve hundred dollars. Twenty percent off as I promised."

Khrom took the potion and passed the money to Kadyn—with no delay, he poured the entire potion on his wounds one by one. When his breath calmed and the blood stopped flowing, only then he glanced at Kadyn. "I want one more."

Kadyn peered at him and said. "I will give you two for free and with a grade higher than this. I need some information."

The man looked at him deeply and nodded. "Sure. There is nothing, I don't know about Avibria City."

Kadyn eyed Khrom meaningfully and voiced. "Good. Do you have any information about the Five Star Spirit Grass?"

"Five Star Spirit Grass?" Khrom gawked at him in shock. "What do you need it for?!"

Kadyn remained silent, gazing at the man in front of him. The meaning was clear and Khrom was no idiot. He understood Kadyn had no intention of telling him about his matter.

He nodded and said. "I need to go into hiding, as the entire city is searching for me. Give me some time to collect the information."

Kadyn blinked a few times and blurted. "Why the hell the entire Avibria city is after your life?!"

"It's because I killed that sow. I already told you, didn't I?"

"Who's that sow, by the way?" though, normally, he won't probe other people's matter. This thing caught his interest.

"Who cares who she is? Give me one more Soothing Drop."

"1500 dollars and get lost as soon as possible. I don't want any trouble in my shop. Can't you paint your face with coal or something to avoid being discovered?"

"..."

——

[Energy Points: 627]

Kadyn noted his points before spinning the wheel. He couldn't help but approach the lottery wheel again. After all, it was the only source where he could find any spell or other useful stuff.

His fire element had turned useless for the time being, and he needed to make himself strong. So he could only turn towards the spinning wheel.

"Spin!"

[Better luck next time]

He had already expected this outcome, so he just shook his head and proceeded.

"Spin!"

[Congratulations: You have won a throwing bomb]

"Heh?" he jumped in surprise at the notification. He won a lottery in just a second turn. That was surprising, indeed.

[Name: Throwing Bomb]

[Category: Weapon]

[Type: Long range]

[Rank: Elementary]

[Grade: No Grade]

[Price: 500 dollars]

[Effect: One-time destructive weapon]

"Hey, this is again contradicting your words," Kadyn said. "You said I can't give my lottery to anyone. What is the meaning of price here? Doesn't that mean I can sell it to anyone?"

"Don't you know the difference between giving and selling? Of course, you can sell anything. This is a shop, after all!" System snorted disdainfully.

"..."

"Cough… spin!"

And the Wheel Of Fortune—as Kadyn called it—rolled, and his heartbeat quickened. No matter how many times he tried this, the excitement of the unknown never felt overrated. It's thrilling and enjoyable.

Kadyn realised why those gamblers on earth would become so addicted to gambling. Now he knew... why?

[Better luck next time]

"Spin!"

[Better luck next time]

.

.

.

[Better luck next time]

Kadyn wiped the sweat off his forehead and roared in frustration. "Spin!"

He peered at the wheel with little hope to get anything from it. It seemed the bomb had sucked his entire luck today. Even it was just a damned one-time use weapon.

[Congratulations: You have won a Spell Scroll]

Kadyn gawked at the screen as if he had read something wrong. But a few seconds later, the screen remained unchanged—his eyes shone in excitement before grabbing the scroll.

"What element does this spell belong to?" He said nervously and opened the scroll with his trembling hands. His eyes glued on the scroll and his heart thudded in his chest, and he opened it.

At the top of the scroll was written [Darkness Walking]. He found six, dark-black, shining stars in the upper-right corner of the scroll. It implied that the spell was six-star, and it belonged to the dark element.

Although he had yet to awaken a single star of the dark element. It was just a matter of time before he would need spells for it.

He turned towards the wheel again. Not willing to leave just yet. All the traits of a gambler could be seen in him at this moment. Although it was based on luck, it was exciting.

"Roll!"

And the wheel rolled as Kadyn commanded. He peered in front of him as the wheel slowed, and he rubbed his hands in anticipation—when the wheel stopped, it brought a dashing smile to his face.

[Congratulations: You have won a Spell Scroll]

He looked inside the scroll and realised that it was a lightning type, and it was the eight-star!

Right now he only had three Lightning Stars awakened and, therefore, he could not use it right now. If he wanted to make good use of the spell, he would need to awaken eight stars.

I just pray that fate won't play a joke on me again.

His face burned when he remembered his fire element. Even after awakening the ten stars, he was at the bottom of elementary mage. Kadyn felt his heart bleeding by just thinking about it.
