Magic Shop System Chapter 47
Advertisement
Kadyn took a scroll off the shelf. It was a 10-star fire spell, [Meteorite Shower]. It was a large area type spell. He could summon meteorites from the sky, assaulting several foes in just a single attack.
"This is the one," Kadyn murmured and took the scroll with him. Only he could take the scrolls or the books out of the library. No one else could take anything out, not even a single paper from the library that belonged to the library.
Outside the library, Elora asked. "Now what? Do we need to concoct more potions? But we have little herbs left."
"Yes, we are going to brew a potion," Kadyn's expression turned severe as he said. "However it is not what you think. I already have herbs for that potion. Come on, I would need your help to brew it."
Elora's face hardened when she saw Kadyn's grave face. This task must be very important to him. She thought and clenched her fist and followed Kadyn from behind. Without even realising, she started to admire this useless brother of hers.
She no longer looked like the one who shielded him from everyone and everything. Just acting like a little girl who needed her brother's protection—or maybe she was always like this. But no one was there to support and fend for her before this. Her brother couldn't protect himself, much less her, so she stepped over and guarded him instead.
However now she could tell that her brother had changed. He had become unfathomable, mysterious, and unpredictable. She started to look up to him.
"What kind of potion do you want to brew…"
"Shhh… don't talk about anything here," Kadyn said, covering her mouth with his hand. "Outside the Potion Hall, never talk about the brewing or anything else, Ok?"

Elora was confused, but she still nodded. She knew that there must be a reason for his actions.
"Ah, I have something to give you." Kadyn remembered something and took out a bracelet from his pocket on which two crimson pearls were shining. They were the same crystals that Kadyn made in the Artisan Hall.
However this time they looked a little different. Numerous lines carved on the two orbs that gave them a kind of charm, boosting their beauty and looking like a piece of an ornament.
"What is this, it's so beautiful!" she exclaimed, spotting a bracelet in Kadyn's hand snatched it from his hands. Kadyn shook his head at her action.
"This is an artefact! There is an array pattern!" she exclaimed again. Kadyn slapped his head, looking at her behavior. Just now he told her not to talk about important things openly, and here she was, shouting about the bracelet. Fortunately no one was inside the shop.
Elora saw Kadyn's expression and her face turned red. "Cough, I mean it's good stuff. Who won't be surprised if you take it in front of someone out of nowhere? You must have paid a large sum to get this artefact for me. I love it. Thank you, brother!"
"Yeah, the price was pretty high." Kadyn remembered his fight with that ungrateful bastard he saved inside the Panoramic Forest. He had almost lost his life due to his naivety. If it wasn't because of the shop, he might have turned into a rotten corpse by now.
"What, really?" she eyed her brother lovingly. He really loves me the most. She thought.
"You just need to wear this bracelet all the time. It is a good thing." Kadyn said and explained nothing further. Actually he had inscribed the array over those two crystals. Artisan was the profession that came to existence after combining two types of professions, Blacksmith and Array Master.

The Blacksmith could only forge normal weapons with no magic that normal people used to hunt animals, and Array Master could inscribe the Arrays on weapons, turning them into magical weapons or artifacts.
However, Artisans could forge the weapon as well as inscribe them with arrays. Although it was a mixture of two professions, it didn't follow the path of either profession. Like the invention of cars, no Blacksmith could think about those boxes and neither did any Array Master. Only Artisan could invent those things.
After combining two professions the new path opened. Several things that seemed impossible previously seemed easy now.
"Alright, let's go," Kadyn entered the Potion Hall followed by Elora.
The hall had completely transformed, turning vaster. The apparatus had been changed, and the quality had improved. With these apparatus the success rate would increase over 5 percent.
"Alright, we need to brew the Crack Melding Potion." Kadyn said.
"What is the use of this potion?" she asked.
"To heal the damaged stars."
"What?!" she looked at him with an incredulous look and stammered. "Is-is there really such a potion available? I've heard that if someone's stars had been damaged he could only heal them naturally. Until that time a person would become useless—that was also the reason, majority never even try to reach the Spell Caster."
"That's just bulshit," Kadyn snorted. "How do you think those nobility could reach those heights? Have you ever seen any noble with broken or damaged stars? They must already have some ways to heal their stars but they don't want to tell the masses, or those people who are desperate might do something insane to get their hands on that method."
Elora was surprised to hear his words and remembered she really never saw or heard any noble being injured during their breakthrough. They must have a method to heal their stars!
"Do you want to sell this potion as well?" she inquired, her eyes flickering with curiosity.
"No."
"Then?"
"I'm going to use it." He scuttled towards the apparatuses and started to examine them.
"What do you mean you are going to use… hold on a sec!" she peered at him with a dumbfounded expression and went on. "Does that mean your stars are damaged?!"
"Yes."
"But how?"
He never activated a single star when he was in magic school. Now he was telling her that his stars were damaged—the stars could be damaged in only a few conditions, if something goes wrong with the meditation, someone did it intention due to enmity, and one of the most shocking reason, one failed to break the Elementary Rank, damaging the stars in the process.

Blood Seekers -- The Monolith
Blood Seekers - Book 1, is now on Amazon, including the final chapters not posted here! https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MYJ5ZRC “You will die!” That's what the developers of Blood Seekers promised them... The most challenging MMO ever created—that’s how they advertised it. Taglines like, “Not your granddaddy’s game,” and, “Only for the hardest of the hardcore,” had gamers going crazy. Set in a gothic, Lovecraftian world, with fully realized A.I. NPCS, gamers were desperate to get their hands on the new game and dive in, and Clay was one of them. It was going to be tough, but he was ready for it. What he wasn’t ready for, was countless players having their minds hijacked and being transformed into mindless, hostile creatures filled with nothing but hate who killed anyone on sight. They called them the Bloodless. Clay’s best and only friend, Rey, moved across the country she was twelve, but they kept in touch online, playing countless games together, and when Blood Seekers was released, they were both ready to step up to the plate and face the new challenge together. But now, Rey has been taken by the plague, her mind held hostage as one of the Bloodless. A mysterious black monolith has appeared at the center of the highest level zone in the game, a place no one has even come close to. Some say it will provide us with answers. Others say it will only lead to more questions. Who’s behind all this? Why are people’s minds being taken? Will we ever get to bring them back? How many more will be lost if we stay logged in? Nothing is certain, but if there’s any chance that reaching the monolith will bring Rey back back, then Clay will do everything he can to reach it. This is Book 1 in a new series from Stephen Roark! I will be posting chapters here until the book is done and published on Amazon!
