《Online Game: I Possess a Monster Merging Simulator!》Chapter 17: You're Overthinking It
Advertisement
Looking at the level of the equipment in front of her, Twinkle Rose's eyes widened. She could not imagine how a new player could obtain such high-level equipment.
The level of the equipment dropped would never surpass that of the monster.
For example, a level 5 demonized wild boar would only drop equipment at or below level 5 after killing it.
There would definitely not be any Level 6 or higher equipment.
Which meant…
This player had once killed a Level 10 monster before obtaining these items!
But how could that be?
"I want all these equipment. How much?"
Twinkle Rose was filled with curiosity, but she was very rational. She did not ask recklessly, because everyone had their own secrets. If she asked rashly, it would only cause the other party to be disgusted.
"White Iron equipment, 20 silver coins."
"Bronze equipment, 2 gold coins."
Lorne stated his price, his eyes studying the other.
She was indeed a perfect beauty.
Her long red hair was tied up, and on her exquisite face, there was a pair of beautiful fiery red eyes. Her arrogant gaze was filled with admiration and surprise when she looked at Lorne.
Under that rough light armor, there was a fiery figure. On her slim waist, there was a simple female-style sword and a slightly exquisite body shape.
With such an attitude, she would not be inferior even to the most beautiful celebrity in reality.
"I want them all. It's a total of 7.4 gold coins. But I don't have that many game coins now, so I can only give you real money. But don't worry, the price I quote is the highest on the black market. 5,000 alliance dollars for 1 gold coin."
Despite being stared at like this by Lorne, Twinkle Rose did not dodge at all. She spoke extremely confidently.

As for the price, 37,000 Alliance Coins to purchase two bronze items and some white iron items was actually quite expensive. However, it could not be helped. If a guild wanted to gain an advantage in the early stages, they had to buy their equipment at a high price to compete for the game's dominance.
However…
At this moment, Lorne shook his head surprisingly, "I'm sorry, but I only want in-game coins. Or, you can trade health potions for them."
Only in-game coins?
Twinkle Rose paused. She could not imagine why the other party wanted so many in-game coins.
Did he have his own guild?
Other than forces who needed to develop, other players would not give up the real life currency that was five times as valuable and convert them into in-game coins…
"Alright, I'll give you the game currency, but you have to wait for me. 7.4 gold coins is not a small amount." Twinkle Rose said.
At this moment, an inappropriate voice sounded.
"Brother, sell me these equipment. I'll pay 10 gold coins!"
The person who spoke was a warrior player in armor. There was an ID floating above his head, [Unparalleled Domination]. He was extremely arrogant and looked like an insolent rich second-generation heir.
Seeing the other party approach, Twinkle Rose clearly turned cold.
Unparalleled Domination did not care at all. At this moment, he cared more about the equipment on the ground. Every piece of Bronze equipment was a strategic resource. He could not let them fall into the hands of the enemy guilds.
"10?" Lorne was pleasantly surprised. The two guild leaders had taken a liking to these items at the same time. Now, it was a good opportunity for him to start a bidding war for them.
With that in mind, Lorne put on a troubled expression, "Since you both want it, why don't we do it this way? The equipment will be given to the highest bidder. What do you say?"

"You—" Twinkle Rose gritted her teeth. They had just agreed on the price, but this guy suddenly changed his mind. How detestable.
The beautiful guild leader was very angry, but she quickly sighed to herself. She could not blame Lorne. After all, he had not agreed to sell it to her just now. If she really wanted to blame someone, she could only blame herself for not bringing enough gold coins. Otherwise, there would not have been so many troublesome matters.
"I offer 11!" Twinkle Rose bit her red lips.
"My Domination Guild offers 12!"
"13!"
"14!"
"15!"
The two guild leaders opposed each other, neither willing to give up.
In other games, the Domination Guild had a deep-rooted foundation. When faced with a new faction, they displayed their might very well.
However, Twinkle Rose was not to be outdone. She did not have any fear of the guild and even pushed the price to 15 gold coins!
When the price reached this level, Unparalleled Domination did not continue bidding.
It was only tens of thousands of alliance dollars, this was nothing to a large guild.
However, they were still in the Beginner Village now. Gold coins were an extremely important resource. If they spent too much, it would severely affect the efficiency of the guild players' leveling up.
Thinking of this, Unparalleled Domination walked up.
"Brother, sell me your equipment. In the future, you will be a friend of the Domination Guild. In this game, no matter who you provoke, my guild will help you deal with them."
"But if you sell it to the Silver Snow Guild, you'll be our enemy. At that time, a million people will be your enemies. This game will probably not be playable for you." He stared at Lorne with a hint of threat in his tone.
"Don't be afraid of him. The ladies of the Silver Snow Guild can protect you in the future."
Twinkle Rose immediately stood up.
The two guild leaders were at odds with each other, as if they were about to fight at any moment.
The onlookers sympathized with Lorne upon seeing this.
Because no matter who he chose, he would offend another force. According to the style of large guilds, they might take revenge soon. At that time, he might not even have the chance to leave the Beginner Village.
If he had to choose, that Domination Guild should be the best choice.
Simply because the Silver Snow Guild was not so violent, they might not secretly take revenge on him.
But the result was unexpected.
Without hesitation, he said to Twinkle Rose, "10 gold coins and it'll be yours."
Hearing this, Twinkle Rose raised her exquisite chin and revealed a victorious smile, "Tyrant, it seems that you have good taste. Our Silver Snow Guild does have more potential than the Domination Guild. Choosing us to be partners is the best decision."
"You're overthinking it," Lorne cut off the oddly confident female guild leader. He had no idea why she was so confident but he answered: "I sold it to you because you are bigger, but that doesn't mean we'll be partners. Don't think about it. Let's hurry up with the deal."
At first, Twinkle Rose did not understand, but when she realized that he was referring to her huge breasts, her delicate face turned red. She gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart.

A Universe of Bloody Evolution
The Void was never meant to be opened to the Multiverse. The horrors waiting inside it should have never seen the light. And yet, the biggest mistake in the history of creation led to the impossible. In an event later known as the Outbreak, gates appeared in the first Universe, and with them, the Void was free. For ages the Void destroyed universe after universe, spreading its power in every direction, leaving only death and pain behind. But before every Universe met its end, it still had a chance. A small part of the population that survived the initial Outbreak and was granted a mysterious System to help them fight against the dangers that came from the Void. They were the Multiverse's last hope even if they couldn't stop the collapse of their own world. And so the cycle continued until the 36th Outbreak came. Leo Hale, a young reporter from Wolford, was one of the lucky ones to survive when the majority of Earth's population turned into monsters straight out of nightmares. Thrust into a constant battle for his life, Leo was determined to push forward and find his remaining family. Even if it meant sacrificing what was left of his humanity. After all, you either adapt or die. Story of progression and evolution with my take at the post-apocalyptic genre. Unlike most monster evolution stories where the monster rushes to gain human form, here I plan to do something quite the opposite. After all, in a world where almost everything wants to kill you, being human can be hard. Warnings are here to give me the freedom to write whatever is necessary. This is my first original novel. Also English isn't my native language so any feedback is welcome. Remember that even if initially this story takes place on Earth, fictional places, streets, etc will appear. Release Schedule: Monday - Wednesday - Friday Average chapter length: 2000-2500 words (There might be exceptions as is the case with some of the first chapters - most of them are longer.)

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
