Magic Shop System Chapter 33
Advertisement
The ground trembled as the bomb bloated—over twenty meters obscured in the dirt as the pebbles flew and rolled on the floor, broken. Kadyn fell on his butt in shock at the terrible blast. He never assumed the impact could be this great. He caught unprepared, gazing ahead of him with a dumb expression and thudding heart.
Hearing the blast, others dashed into the shop from outside, staring at the huge crater in terror. Only people beyond Elementary Rank could do such a thing. They didn't believe someone of that calibre would come here. That made their expressions a little sluggish and confused and fearful.
Kadyn paid no heed to those folks and peered ahead of him. Hicka had already stood from the ground, gaping at the pit with mouth agape. Big One laid around ten meters ahead of Hicka, covered in blood and clothes tattered and hair ragged and face bloody. His chest heaved up and down, gasping in deep breaths. Then he cramped to sit and eyed the ditch with a fearful shudder.
He was close to Hicka and far from Fenon, that's how he avoided the catastrophe. But when he peered at the crater he knew that death had already clutched its claws around his neck—if Fenon was dead he would die alongside him. His family would never let him go.
"Do you have any idea what you have done?!" he screamed at Kadyn.
"What have I done?" Kadyn knew that he couldn't back down now. "Do you think that bomb was the only trump card I had?" as he said, Kadyn took out two red pearls from his pocket and gestured at the fatty. "I have quite a lot of toys to play with you. You just need to infuriate me like before and you will have another taste of that dreadful feeling." Kadyn cackled as he tried to bluff with red pearls that he just made.

Big One tumbled back in horror when he saw two pearls in his hands. Though they seemed nothing but ordinary. He didn't dare to look down on 'em. After all, prior to this Kadyn had thrown an even more ordinary-looking object and what it did was anything but ordinary.
"Cough! Cough!"
Everyone heard a coughing from the crater and gazed towards the obscured ditch in bewildered faces—a breath later a weak voice sounded. "He-help~"
"Damn, that bastard's still alive!" Kadyn cursed and had the urge to rush into the pit and strangle him to death. However, he had already lost his chance. Right now he could justify that Fenon attacked and to protect himself and his friend and his shop, he had to do what he did. But if he were to kill Fenon at this moment, he won't be able to justify his actions as the man was already half dead.
"Brother!" Elora that was standing dumb at the entrance of the Potion Hall shouted and rushed towards her brother. Seeing her worried face, Kadyn smiled. Elora's anxiety decreased when she eyed his smiling and confident face.
"Help!" again a moan sounded from the crater and the dust settled down, revealing Fenon and his two minions wriggling and twitching and wailing, covered in blood and gashes and fatigued and lost.
"How did they survive?!" Kadyn clenched his fist. He thought that after such a terrifying attack he could kill these nuisances, but he failed. Regrettable, but what could he do, now. He shook his head.
"Boss! Boss!" Big One screamed, seeing Fenon's condition and dashed towards him, supporting. "Someone help!" he screamed. No one moved, standing with blank faces, as they had no idea what to do. They weren't physicians, after all.
"Ka-Kadyn, please help me!" Big One said as he gritted his teeth in humiliation. "Give me that potion."

Kadyn eyed fatty blankly as if looking at an idiot. He brought them into this condition, but now he was asking for his help instead. He glanced at Fenon and thought. Should I earn a bit from this? Though I can't guarantee anything about his lackeys, Fenon won't die. Furthermore, I could avoid future troubles that would cause due to this incident.
"Oh, of course, I would help you," Kadyn said. "If you guys hadn't tried to kill my brother Hicka, I won't even bother to glance at you. I'm a kind and peaceful person, after all"
"You…!"
Fenon's eyes spat fire, but Kadyn cared little as he went on. "However, there is no free lunch in this world. You need to pay for potions."
Big One said nothing and took out three thousand dollars and reluctantly passed them at Kadyn.
Kadyn looked at the Big One and asked innocently. "What is this?"
Fatty seemed confused at his question, but he still replied. "Three thousand for three potions."
"Three Thousand?" Kadyn gawked at the kid with excessive fat in front of him. "I think you have misunderstood something, sir. The price of a potion is 10 thousand, not 1 thousand. For three you would need 30 thousand."
"What?!"
"What, what? Are you delaying purposefully and waiting for Sir Fenon's death? Do you have ulterior motives behind this?" Kadyn pierced at the kid, looking suspiciously. Other people also jolted awake by Kadyn's statement, eyeing Big One alertly.
"Wh-what are you talking about? I'm…"
"Just do it!" Fenon gritted his teeth and said. Still laying on the rubble with his broken body.
"But.."
"Give. Him. Money!" Fenon shouted when Big One continued to deliberate. He even suspected that Kadyn might be right about this bastard.
Looking at Fenon's face, fatty knew that he had successfully infuriated him. Reluctantly, he pulled his money out of his pocket and realised that it was only around 12 thousand dollars. Left with no choice, he took Fenon's money. Of course, with his permission.
"I'm a benevolent person. I won't make you wait any further. Please take these." Kadyn passed three inferior(low) grade potions made by Elora.
Big One snatched the potion and hurried to heal wounds on his companion's body.
"Sigh, no gratitude, no word of thanks. Nothing. Since when has this world become such a selfish place? I was wondering how someone could become so round, so that's the reason. Evil thrives in this world while the righteous struggle to crawl. That's a cruel world for you. Sigh." He took an exaggerated breath, showing his remorse to others.
Fatty stumbled and almost fell at his words. Other people also looked at him with contempt as Kadyn counted the paper money gleefully.
"With this money, I can make around ten bombs like the one I just used. I wonder if those would be enough to destroy an entire family?" as he counted he said, making his voice audible to others purposefully.
As he expected, all the people present turned pale with fright at his statement. Fenon, who was already forming plans for his revenge, almost vomited blood in fear. Intention of revenge vanishing with every breath he took.

Arcane Engines: Alchemist’s Scheme
A seemingly chance encounter with an ancient machine and an assassination attempt threaten to disrupt Veil’s education at the premier mage academy of Ithalaan. The bombings and terrorist actions that follow throw the entire region into chaos and draw him inexorably deeper into a mystery involving cults, gods, and ancient mysterious races. These events threaten Veil’s carefully crafted plans, but there are few limits on his ambition. He is willing to do whatever it takes to advance his schemes to become a Magus, including pursuing the illegal discipline of soul magic. While Veil isn’t a powerful mage yet, his spell wrought guns and illicit abilities will help even the playing field. The need to face down his enemies and fulfill his ambitions will send him desperately searching from Forerunner ruins in the Great Northern Forest to ancient abyssal cities within the depths of the planet. _________________________________________________________________ The book is primarily fantasy with a steampunk background. Science fiction elements won't be introduced for quite some time. I currently update my work at a rate of one chapter per week. I'm also in the process of editing chapters 1 - 7, changing the format to make it more readable, and introducing more show and less tell. The reworked chapters will have (edited) after the title. All chapters after 8 have already been written in the new style. I have a Patreon page if you wish to donate. Also, there will be intense situations, some explicit violence, and although it is not an erotic work, one or two sex scenes.
8 154Petmaster Evolutions
This is a story about an ordinary earthling that sees the impossible and because of that gets kidnapped and introduced the the system called Odyssey which infects planets with mana to create monsters. This story will follow his journey through his trials. I do not believe in overpowered so I will not allow the MC to get to god mode. Since I started writing, the story has evolved some from chapter 1 on through as some stuff just did not make sense and in my mind the story has become clearer. Eventually I will have to go back and edit the beginning chapters to match the rest of the story but I do not have time at the moment. I will update as often as possible but I work full time, school full time, and have a 18 month old and an infant. I make no promises on time between new chapters. Honestly I did not expect people to follow the story and I just wanted to write for the fun of it and to see how the story that was running around in my head came out. I appreciate all of you who take the time to read my story and help me make it better by pointing out any mistakes I make. The only editing and proofreading I manage to do is the word app Grammarly so I miss things sometimes.
8 65Dead Reckoning

The problem is when you're a necromancer not too many of the living want to hang out. She's on a trek across the stars looking for her brother and that isn't cheap either.

Once they're dead, they'll tell her everything she needs to know. Now she just has to follow the trail of broken ships and looted bodies floating through space.

8 82Dog Days in a Leashed World
Life is not easy at the bottom of the food chain. And in the Kingdoms of Magica, the absolute bottom belongs without question to the puppy-like lowbie zone trash known as mongrels. Born to an unfinished zone with only bored, murderous outpost guards for neighbors, the lives of these fluffy balls of hapless nuisance are short, dull, and deeply confused. Because after all: What's the point of a mob that no one can be bothered to hunt, in a zone utterly lacking in reasons to visit, in a game that was already the height of trash fantasy nonsense? Well it may not be much, but it's their life, dammit. And if Shh, the mongrel bearing the questionable distinction of smartest pup in his pack, has anything to say about it, they won't be on the bottom forever. Because that's the silver lining of being on the bottom: the only way left to go is up.
