My Space-Time System Chapter 117

"Now for the armor section." Blake used the filter function to filter out non-armor products, But unlike before he wasn't that shocked because of the prices.
After checking and not seeing any useful properties in the armors within 30k points, Blake scrolled past the 40k price mark and began paying more attention to the properties of the armors with the 50k price mark.
Not only had the number of useless armors reduced, but the effects were way much better. There were lightweight armors that focused mostly on enhancing the wearer's speed, but the disadvantage of such armor was that their barrier was not as strong as those of heavy armors and it was vice versa for heavy armors.
The number of armors on the 50k points list wasn't as big and annoying as those with lower prices, thus it didn't take much time for Blake to scan through the list but still, nothing caught his attention.
Blake wasn't happy about how things were going. For every time he failed to get something, the more his heart constricted because the price was increasing by 10000 points!
"C'mon, don't do this to daddy." Blake prayed with heavy eyes, as he scrolled to the list with 60k starting points.
After close to 5 minutes of reading the attributes of each armor and double-checking in other to make sure there was nothing he had skipped, Blake felt like going on his knees and begging the heavens because he was met with another failure.
The system was laughing its arse off when it saw Blake rechecking the list for the 3rd time.
[Don't be a cheap stake, the higher the points spent the greater the abilities and attributes of the armor.]
Blake ignored the system's remark and crossed his fingers as he scrolled to the next price range.

"Wow, this is interesting." Blake was quite surprised when he saw elemental armors on the list.
Elemental armors were products of skilled forgemasters that still had the same abilities as normal armors, but the reason they were highly sorted for was their ability to boost the power of elemental abilities. For example, if Blake was to put on a fire elemental armor and cast a spell, the process of gathering mana and the quantity gathered will remain the same, but once he released the spell, the armors core would double the power of the spell.
"If there were any elemental armors that could triple the power of my spells then I would have considered getting it, but too bad I am not here for elemental armors..." Blake said as he continued scrolling.
"A cool name let's see what we have here." In his heart, Blake was praying this was what he was looking for.
Blake clicked on the Rampant armor to get more information about it.
"Wow! Shock absorption, heavy armor barrier, mana absorption, are you kidding me, what is an armor so good doing at the 70k price?!" Blake was shocked out of his wits when he read about the Rampant armor's abilities.
The system too was shocked and couldn't believe its eyes, but unlike Blake that was overwhelmed by the shock, the system was still able to reason.
[Less talking and more buying, look there is only one in stock!]
Snapping out of it, Blake quickly made the purchase and allowed the orb to scan his badge, deducting 70k points.
This time Blake didn't feel bad about the number of points spent because he knew it was more than worth it.
Blake wasn't at the exchange point only for armor. He still had to buy pills, potions, and other things that could come in handy. After making sure he had gotten everything he needed, Blake left the exchange point.

…
In Professor Tacitus's room.
'Wow! That was quicker than expected. I thought because most students have returned to their homes, it would take ages to sell the Rampant armor.' Professor Tacitus thought when he received an alert informing him that the item he had placed for sale had been sold for 70k.
'I wonder who the lucky kid that got one of my masterpieces for a reduced price, is? Nah, I don't care, all that matters now is getting the rewards.' Professor Tacitus couldn't help but fantasize about the rewards he was about to get, as established a connection with a distant communication orb.
"Your highness, the armor you asked me to sell had been sold for the specified amount you had requested." Professor Tacitus spoke with his head still lowered.
"Thank you for agreeing to help a lucky kid by selling one of your prized possession. As a reward, you can send in a request for whatever you need to further your research. Goodbye Professor, I have other matters to attend to." Prince Bryon said with a smile as he canceled the connection.
'Yes! Yes! Yes!' professor Tacitus made a short celebratory dance as he brought out a decade-old wine to celebrate.
…
That afternoon.
Blake had received his package earlier than other days. The moment he was sure that delivery staff was long gone, Blake immediately zoomed off to the concealed space to play with his new toy.
"I still can't believe that a forgemaster would decide to sell one of these at such a price..." Blake said as he brought out a darkish-red chest plate made of metal leagues above steel and
At the center of the darkish-red chest, plate was sky blue crystal that produced a hue around it.
Not wasting more time, Blake injected his mana into the sky blue crystal, binding the Rampant armor to himself, before putting it on.
"Wow, it even has the call ability. This is the best deal I have ever made." Blake felt like he had ripped off the forgemaster that sold the armor, but instead of feeling bad, he felt great.
The call ability allowed the owner of an item to automatically equip the item as long as it was connected to a functioning dimensional space, but the disadvantage was that if the owner was to enter areas that have dimensional space blocking arrays, the call ability won't work.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.
