《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

Fates Parallel (A Xianxia/Wuxia Inspired Cultivation Story)
Volume 1 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! Volume 2 of Fates Parallel is on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited! Check it out here! Also available on Audible! After centuries of endless wars, the three greatest nations of the continent have come together in peace. As a symbol of their cooperation, they have worked together to establish the Grand Academy of Spiritual, Martial, and Arcane Arts, a place where the best and brightest of each nation can gather on neutral ground and share knowledge, techniques, and cultures. Can the peace truly last, or is the academy just another proxy for the constant conflicts the three nations face? None of that matters to Lee Jia, a homeless young girl who's biggest concern is surviving the winter. But when she accidentally stumbles into the academy in search of a new place to stay, her destiny is changed forever. Determined to carve out a new place for herself and make the most of her good fortune, Lee Jia dives head first into the world of magic and martial arts. Fates Parallel is my first serious attempt at writing a story, and a personal love letter to Eastern fantasy and xianxia stories. It's heavily inspired by East Asian culture, folklore, and mythology, with what is likely going to be a decidedly Western artistic license. I try to write every day, with a goal of about 45,000 words per month (~1500 per day). Chapter lengths are around 3000 words on average, releasing on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Cover art drawn by the incredibly talented Tsuu (TsurotArtistry).

Welcome to the world of Fantasiaia, a world full of magic, epic monsters, heroic battles and more! It's the new, cutting edge VRMMORPG world what everyone has dreamed about! And now welcome Markus Fickus, your average young man in our average and boring world! He was just an ordinary man, until one day, something changed his whole life. As he ate his breakfast on that fateful morning, little did he know that he would choke on his coffee and die—just to be reincarnated in the world of Fantasiaia! "Wait, what?" Mark said, looking up from his bowl of cereal. He didn't follow the script properly, and forgot to prepare his coffee. "I thought Fantasiaia was a VRMMO," Mark muttered as he made his way to his coffee machine. "How can someone reincarnate into a game?" Of course, what Mark didn't know was that logic and reason didn't matter. It was magic! Besides, everyone loves virtual reality stories and reincarnation novels. So why not have both? Mark shook his head sadly, but prepared his coffee in silence. When he finished, he looked up at the sky—and saw only the dull white ceiling of his apartment. He felt utterly cheated that the last thing he would see in this world was the peeling paint on the wall. "They are not paying me enough for this," Mark grumbled, then drank up his coffee. And then he died. PS: I found the cover picture on THE INTERNET. By no means will I tell you the artist's name or give any credit to them, but I let you know that the image is not mine. Naturally, if the original artist asks me personally, I will remove the picture. PS PS: New chapters come out every day! At least, until I run out of pre-written chapters. Each chapter will be between 500 and 200000 words long. (Probably closer to 500 than 200000, though.) PS PS PS: Some authors try to find an appropriate cover image for their novel's title. I found an appropriate title for the cover image! PS PS PS PS: Let the fun begin!
