《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

Eventually these two works will connect, I'm just not great at multi-tasking so this compendium is temporarily parked until I cross thew May 5 finish line]

8 217# The Gemstone of Ominium 2 - Pain
Her unfazed expression didn’t even waver when the blade of her thin sword pierced one of the men all the way through armor, flesh and bone, a gurgling sound bubbling from his throat. With a kick she mercilessly pushed him back, freeing her blade, and glanced down at his dead body sprawled at her feet, confirming that death had indeed taken him. Stepping over the dead man’s body as if it were a mere pebble on her path, she raised her head just in time to see her second attacker lunge at her and, nimbly turning on her heels, she slit his throat. A spray of hot, sticky blood hit her left cheek and slid down her neck, but she didn’t even blink. The scent of the fresh blood filled her nostrils and her brain like an inebriating drug and she stepped forward once again, lightly turning to one side to avoid being decapitated and quickly returning the favor. One by one the men kept falling as she advanced, victims of her lethal, almost mechanical movements, as if she’d been born with a sword in hand and ready to kill …* This is a direct continuation of Book 1 - Denial. You CANNOT start reading Book 2 without reading Book 1, since the story won't make any sense! Enjoy ^_^*
8 144Psyche Reflection
In the universe, Year 20XX, there exists people who are able to enter the cognitive realms of others and alter their perceptions and emotions, for better or worse. These people are known as "Divers" for their ability to dive into the psyche of others in a process called the "Psyche Dive". The cognitive realm is unique to each individual, hence it's also named the "Reflected World". There, one's innermost emotions and beliefs are materialised when the balance between the id (source of psychodynamic energy, represented by our desires and individuality.) and the superego (represented by our conscience and need to conform to society) is disrupted, with the id overpowering the superego more often than not.As a result, the excess psychodynamic energy on either side results in the formation of Spectres, ghost-like beings that haunt the ego (an individual's personality) and push a person to ruin by clouding his perceptions of reality, influencing his decision making in the process. If left unchecked, Spectres would continue to grow in number and power, eventually consuming the ego completely to form Demons within the person's psyche. At this point, it is extremely difficult to restore a person's id to its original state, as Demons are often extremely powerful and well-protected by their army of Spectres. People who are possessed by Demons are often twisted individuals who commit the most heinous of crimes, as they have lost all of their conscience and morals, fuelled only by their desires. The Divers are the last hope for humanity against the Spectres and Demons. Armed with the power to use their cognition to fashion into effective weapons against these abominations, the Divers seek to cleanse the minds of victims from such insidious influences. 21 year old Lee Jin Kai became a Diver abruptly on his first day as a University student, after a chance meeting with a beautiful foreign exchange student by the name of Aiko Verde. Despite having different motivations, the pair must now stick together, as they traverse the psyches of various people while gathering comrades, resolving real-world issues in the process... Inspired by Persona 5.
