《My cheat skill sucks》Elf currency Sucks
Advertisement
I’m looking forward to the mountain of cash tomorrow
All the other adventurers stare blankly at me as I skip towards the exit, I completely ignore them and continue on my merry way until I realize the receptionist didn’t give me back my card for some reason, I'm already walking away and it would be embarrassing to turn around at this point so I might as well keep going, I step out the door only to realize side wasn’t next to me, great, not only did I forget to take back my card but I also forgot to wait for side, I'm on a roll now, side eventually steps out of the adventurers guild with that lifeless face of hers and hands me my card
‘’Y-you forgot this, and this’’ along with a small bag that makes a clinking sound as it lands on my palm ‘’Sorry about leaving you behind like that’’ I feel bad about ditching her mid-conversation even though I did that to multiple elves along the way, I look into the bag and find coins of various colours and sizes, a touch tells me they are wooden of some kind so how did they make that metal sound? ‘’Hey identify go tell me about these coins’’
85.36 elfin dollars, copper, cash money, and good luck figuring this out
Why… why is currency so annoying, how do you get .36 of an elfin? What the heck is an elfin dollar? How am I meant to tell 1 elfin is equal to 0.74213 what is worth what? What material is this made out of? ‘’Hey side, do you know what elfins are worth?’’ she looks down at the bag in my hand then back to my confused face, ‘’What? I don’t know anything about elves, did you expect me to know what their currency is worth?’’ Side just sighs with a shrug.
‘’Who knows, currency changes all the time. From the book I read, one elfin is worth 2 copper and the white wood coins are worth 5 elfin but that might change in a few centuries after that book was published’’ ugh, stupid time, ruining everything ‘’so we ask someone? Ah, right, the information guide! HEY GUIDE!’’ I shout towards the lazy elf drifting above us, he gets startled by the sudden shout and begrudgingly floats towards us ‘’What do you want?’’ shielding my eyes from the intense glow coming from him, I ask the question we were just talking about
‘’How does elf currency work?’’ the glowing elf groans with a mighty face-palm ‘’ugh not another one, can you go ask that guy over there? He would love to talk to strangers about random things’’ I look over to where he is pointing and discover that it was the first elf we asked for directions, nodding my head I grab Side and run over to the floating elf while waving my hand to grab his attention.

The floating elf was talking to a weird red ball with white gloves and a goofy face repeatedly asking whether he knew the way, The elf notices us and floats over leaving the red being to search for another guide to go bother, upon realizing that it's us again his beaming smile widens ‘’HI! So what do you want to know! I know lots of things about big tree city!’’ wait, big tree city? Is that what this place is called? ‘’hey identify, what is this city called’’
Big big tree city, capital for the elves, is literally a big tree and has a city inside it, it’s pretty self-explanatory I don’t know why you need to ask
Will it kill you to not roast me? What did I do to deserve this? So apparently this place is actually called big big tree city, is this a translation thing or is the creator just really bad at naming? ‘’we want to know about elf currency’’ getting down to business I ask what we came here for ‘’oh! That! Elven currency is constantly changing in value since it isn’t linked to a precious metal with a set value, this means that its worth depends on the trust of people and surrounding kingdoms towards the government, as of right now 1 elfin is worth .7 of a copper coin and the coins go up by 5 in the order of a rainbow, A red coin is worth 1 elfin, an orange is worth 5, a yellow is 25, green = 125, blue = 625 indigo = 3 125, violet = 15 625’’
This sounds a lot more troublesome than what its worth ‘’so what can we do here?’’ there must be a large number of tourist spots in a city this big, doubly so for a multilayered one with various subspecies living in it like this one ‘’There are many attractions in big big tree city and you’re only in floor 1! There are a total of 549 floors each the size of a normal city! With so many floors there must be something nice!’’ I look over to Side who seems to be positively glowing
‘’do you know where to a good place to sleep is first? We just got here and a rest would be nice’’ the glow of this overenthusiastic elf dims a bit and his vigour dies down ‘’oh… you can go to the woodinn inn! They have great beds and food! The old couple is friendly! They don’t kick me out for causing a ruckus! It’s great!’’ we follow his directions and arrive in front of a humble wooden house of average size for an inn, the plaque outside was a tree motif made out of the words ‘Inn’ but almost unrecognizable because of translation butchering everything, ‘’it has been fun guiding you! come see me again tomorrow if you want a tour around!’’ and with that, The lightbulb elf scurries off back to his post.

Running the woodinn inn is an old elven couple, old enough to be considered grandparents, the grandma is a hunched over wrinkly old lady with a kind demeanor coated in a thick layer of frost and freezes the ground around her while the grandpa is a stern old man with sharp eyes and an aura that exudes experience, even though he is in swimming clothes and constantly sweating? His secretion of water is enough to make puddles on the floor everywhere he walks
Snow elf, level 93 inn owner threat 99%, snow elves are elves that have snow white skin and freeze everything within a certain radius, they are useful during summer when it gets unbearably hot as coolers, specializes in ice magic, one of the more cool-headed ones in the elf sub-races Water elf, level 99 inn owner threat 99%, water elves are elves that continuously secrete water out of their skin, specializes in water and plant magic, useful in elf greenhouses along with other elves as their water is beneficial to plants, one of the relaxed/go with the flow type from the elf sub-races
That last one seems contrary to that old man, does he have some sort of past that made him this way? The old woman walks over to us ‘’what may I help you with?’’ a melodic voice graces my ears, we didn’t establish what kind of room to get to I turn to Side and ask ‘’what kind of room should we get? You don’t really need sleep so should we get a single?’’ side thinks for a while before coming to the conclusion
‘’S-sharing a-a r-r-room with y-you? W-would we be sleeping in the same bed? I-I don’t t-think I c-could handle that!’’ what do you mean? We’ve been sleeping close by for a long time why are you suddenly acting shy now? You even watch me in my sleep! ‘’Would you like a single bed, double bed or separate rooms?’’ the old lady speaks up after seeing our confusion, side finally makes up her mind with a determined ‘’we would like a double bed’’ while the old lady nods her head knowingly, ‘’that would be 40 elfin’’ I look in my item box and am greeted by a cluttered mess.
I really need to sort this out one day, I find the elven coin bag and take out 2 yellow wooden coins to hand over to the old lady, the old lady accepts the cash from my hand and walks over to the counter, bending over opening drawers and writing something down she comes back with a key and 2 orange coins, I thank the old lady and take the things, remarking at how they aren’t cold for some reason and how being near the old lady isn’t giving me any discomfort, like a cool breeze on a summers day she gives an inviting atmosphere around her ‘’your room is the 4th from the left on the third floor, have fun’’ hey old lady! What do you mean by that! I retreat to the room with side and fall face first to the bed ‘’aaaahhhh… so nice’’ I stay like that, relishing what it feels like to have a proper rest after a while on a soft bed and adding ludicrous amounts of sucks to my arms immobilizing them in place
Ignoring the pain of my arms getting crushed I faint from fatigue

Daughters of the Void
Emily is a high school student. Too tall and developed for her age. Her will has been broken, so now, she is fearful and insecure. But that, doesn't explain why those around her bully and despise her. Perhaps... it is related to the dark and deep secret that she has inexplicably forgotten? What made her forget it? The strange being, with whom Emily once made a pact, intends to find out what has happened. To do so, will take her to a world terribly different from this one. Why does it take her to another world? Why did Emily forget what makes her different? Why the hell, all of a sudden, can Emily see three floating panels in the middle of the darkness? What is this? A video game with a lush green-eyed redhead as the main character? Daughters of the Void is a story told from multiple points of view, which occur in parallel. As if they were several series in one, where each protagonist advances at their own pace. At first, the story of each character will advance slowly, so I ask you to be patient. Soon, you will discover a story of extreme survival in a medieval fantasy world. A story, a bit dark, that can also be a bit comical at certain moments. But above all, it can be harsh and cruel to its protagonists. I’ve introduced LitRPG elements in a very soft and almost non-existent way at the beginning of the story. As the story progresses, they will become more and more abundant, depending on the protagonist. Emily is the main and first protagonist of "Daughters of the Void". After her; Dianna, Tanya and others. Above all, I’m looking for your immersion, so I will make you aware of most of the thoughts of the protagonists. I also want the reader to feel some uncertainty, putting yourselves in the shoes of some girls who can't find what they lack. I look for realism, but also to surprise myself. Around chapter 25 there is an awakening of the protagonists. Moment in which they will begin to behave as they really want to be. Unrivaled adventurers. Heroines of legend. The secondary protagonists were created to cover some deficiencies that I noticed that the series had when it was only Emily, so their chapters will be more sporadic. Tags and warnings give me creative freedom. This is the first story I've written, although they are not my first drawings. Be kind with your reviews. I know everything can be improved. Also, English is not my native language, neither is my brother's. He’s the one who translates the story. Constructive feedback is always welcome. We learn day by day. Everything helps us to improve the quality of this humble project. Let us know what you think.
