《The Infinite Item box IS the best thing someone can have on an adventure》Chapter 5 - Relaxation and Excitement
Advertisement
Atogin laid there, unconscious on his bed, with a tophat on his bedside table. Nicko and Kaloko were sitting on stools by his bed, sleeping on each other's shoulders. The wound that was inflicted by the goblins fingernail had left a scar across Atogins forehead. Atogins eyes started to squint and opened. He tried to get up, but Atogin also tore his ankle in the fight. After he wiggled his foot, Atogin felt a jolt of pain.
“Ouch!” Atogin screamed.
Kaloko, Nicko and even the tophat jumped. Kalo and Nicko’s eyes started to water with tears.
“Oh thank ‘Creator’ you’re conscious again,” Kaloko cried.
“What happened?” Atogin asked everyone.
“You were stubborn and you were poisoned by a Hobgoblin fingernail,” Harri replied in the tophat.
“Why are you in there Harri?”
“We all got a special ability, I don’t want our new companion to be hurt,”
“What new companion? Show me,”
“As you wish,”
Harri appeared from the top hat with Dropley in the hood of his coat. Atogin immediately saw the blue and threw a knife that was laying there on his bedside table. The blue blob dodged the knife.
“That’s why I was in there, my special ability is beast taming, perfect for a magician like myself,” Harri yelled.
“So, what's mine?”
“You have an alchemist ability called [Transmutation],” Kaloko interrupted. “It allows you to concentrate, disperse, fuse or defuse raw materials, it will help us later to gather materials,”
“Great! Sorry to say, but right now there has been something that has been bugging me,”
“What is that?”
“I’ve evolved,”
Harri, Kaloko, Nicko and even dropley showed an expression of shock.
“Before you ask, why don’t you appraisal me, Harri and Kaloko,”
Both of them did.
[Name: Atogin Tyre]
[Race: Demi-human: Night Owl]
[Job: Assassin/ Alchemist]
[Gender Male]
[Lvl 14]
[Stats:]
[Hp 62 ]
[Str 30 ]
[MP 32 ]
[Spd 62 ]
[Stm 33]
“You have evolved, from an owl to a night owl,” Harri replied.
Everyone looked at Atogin, he had more feathers and gained jet black spots all across his hair and plumage. His eyes now had a yellow tint, Atogin was also taller and slightly more masculine.
“You’ve been out for almost a day, let's get a drink,” Nicko said.
Everyone nodded their heads, and they helped Atogin downstairs to a table. After they settled down the innkeeper noticed and she immediately came to their table.
“What can I get for you and your injured friend today?” The innkeeper cheered.
“Some mead please, a barrel for the four of us,” Harri replied “Also, I have a few materials to trade,”
“Well then, a barrel of mead and a business deal, you can come now to the reception,”
“ALONE,”
“That is also possible, come with me,”
The innkeeper led Harri out the back of the inn to a large dismantling table.
“Now what is so large that you cannot sell at the reception?” The innkeeper barked.
“Just a moment, and could you get a large barrel,”
“Sure, why not”
The innkeeper got a barrel from the side of the room. Harri took off the tophat, then continued to open the Infinite Item boxes menu. Harri chose an item and some Hobgoblin blood poured out of the tophat into the barrel, there was so much that the innkeeper had to get another one.
Harri then put the rest of the Hobgoblin’s body parts onto the table, neatly laid out, from the skin to the clothes the Hobgoblin wore.

“You defeated a Dark Hobgoblin Leader?” The innkeeper whispered.
“You wonder why my friend is all fucked up?” Harri replied to her.
“And laid out like that, how did you do that?”
“The tophat does have it’s kink's, doesn’t it? Especially when you do it yourself”
“This is the first time anyone has put in a complete Dark Hobgoblin leader, this means it’s a first buy,”
“What does that mean?”
“Your price is quadrupled, with it already skinned and in such good condition, it would be sextupled,”
Harri had to stop for a minute, a first kill… the group of four had just obtained a small fortune
“Deal!” Harri yelled.
The innkeeper then gave Harri four equally sized pouches, which he then put into the Infinite Item Box.
“How much is in here per person?” Harri asked the innkeeper.
“200,000 sals in each sac,”
“200,000!”
“Yes, now get out of here! Before you take my ears out!”
“Alright, Alright,”
Harri went back to the table where his friends were. He sat down then proceeded to get out the pouches of sals and put them on the table, the four of them all tapped a bag at once and looked at there sals wallet to notice that it shot up drastically.
“Before you ask, it was sextupled due to me doing the hard work of dismantling it as well as it being a first buy,” Harri quickly said.
“Well then, that explains that, let’s drink!” Atogin yelled.
“Before that, I have something to give you,”
“And what is that my fellow companion?” Atogin said in a playful tone.
Harri accessed his Infinite Item Box and threw a bright red stone at Atogin. Atogin caught it and his eyes lit up.
“A get well gift, NOW LET US DRINK!!!” Harri yelled.
For thirty minutes the four drank the sweet mead and chattered with red blushes. The ‘Creator’ decided that people can drink ten times as much as they could. All was fine until an injured party of six walked in limping, which what seemed to be a Dark Hobgoblin leader which they were dragging behind them by ropes.
“I’m gonna be stinking rich,” The one leading the group muttered.
The four of them realized that the party of six or the presumed leader was after the first buy. Harri and Kaloko used appraisal on the Hobgoblins corpse.
[Dark Hobgoblin Leader]
[Status: Deceased]
[Body Status: Badly damaged]
“Guys, these people are after the first buy, this is the monster we fought, not to mention it’s badly damaged,” Kaloko whispered to everyone.
“Finally a bar fight,” Atogin responded.
“Don’t get your hopes up,”
The group of six got the attention of the innkeeper, and by what it looked like, the innkeeper gave off a business smile, ready for a face full of yelling.
“Hello, what can I do for you today?” The innkeeper asked.
“Shut it Missy Big Boobs, I’m here to sell this Dark Hobgoblins corpse,” The leader yelled out.
“Ok sure, would you please give the items to me?”
“Fine whatever,”
The group lumped the corpse in front of the innkeeper. The innkeeper was disgusted with what the party did to the Hobgoblin corpse. Unlike Harri’s group, this Hobgoblin was completely demolished. After a few minutes, the innkeeper started to talk.
“This Hobgoblin corpse only comes up 20,000 sals ” The innkeeper calmly said.

“Pardon me, but I think you forgot to say ‘each’,” The leader replied.
Harri immediately took note of the fight of what was going to happen.
“Dropley, when I say ‘go’, melt that man's weapon,” Harri whispered to Dropley.
The large blue blob in Harris coat nodded.
“No, I'm afraid that this corpse is worth only 20,000 sals, due to its condition,” The innkeeper continued.
“You’re bullshiting me right!?” The leader yelled.
“Unfortunately, that is not a joke,”
“Tch, you BITCH!” The leader yelled whilst unsheathing his sword.
“Go!” Harri yelled.
Dropley sprung onto the leader's sword and melted it. The blue blob then jumped back towards Harri
“What the fuck are you doing!?” The leader yelled.
“I just saved you five days in jail as well, a 50% exp debuff for a week, and your reputation decreasing exponentially,” Harri replied.
“Screw you! I was ripped off, I defeated a Dark Hobgoblin Leader! I should get more sals than that! It was a first buy!”
“Excuse me, innkeeper, may I also look at the Dark Hobgoblin Leaders corpse?”
“You may be my -” The innkeeper replied before she got cut off.
“Hold it! What gives you any say in this!” The leader shouted.
“Because my [Appraisal] skill is level 5 and maybe level 6 very soon, this will also allow another say in this,”
“Fine! Just do it,”
Harri nodded and used [Appraisal] on the Hobgoblin corpse.
[[Appraisal] has reached level 6]
[Dark Hobgoblin Leader]
[Status: Deceased]
[Body Status: Severely damaged]
[Killed by {Gold the Great}]
“Not only did the [Body status] change, but it was killed by Gold,” Harri thought.
“Well then, as you can see that I killed it or whatever, now tell this stupid bitch that she got the price wrong!” The leader yelled.
“You didn’t get the finishing blow,” Harri replied.
“Then who did!”
“Gold the Great,”
“You mean that weakling?” The leader pointed to a man with a hood on.
“Yes, and in fact, he should be the one splitting the rewards,”
“Bullshit, I should be the one getting the rewards, and what about the first buy!”
“This isn’t a first buy,”
“And how would you know!?”
“Because my group and I also defeated a Dark Hobgoblin Leader, and we didn’t fuck up the entire body!”
“Tch you fuckwit! Everyone get him!”
“No, Harri’s correct,” Gold replied to the leader.
“What do you mean Gold!”
“I’ve picked a fight with Harri before it isn’t pretty, don’t do it Noir,”
“Just shut it, sparkly man! I’ll take care of this myself, and then I'll extract what is rightfully mine, this fucker's Sals!”
Noir unsheathed another sword and swung at Harri.
“[Spark]!” Harri yelled.
Harri’s entire hand lit up with a faint and noisy light. He then punched Noir in the chest, which made him spasm on the floor.
[Your reputation has gone up by 25 points!]
“B-bastard, give me MY sals!” Noir stuttered loudly.
“Alright, I’ll give you YOUR sals,” Harri replied.
Harri then got out five small bags of sals and gave them to Noirs party. After there was one bag left, Harri went up to gold and looked straight into his eyes.
“You said I would pay someday, so here are 15,000 sals,” Harri whispered in Golds ears.
“Thank you,” Gold replied softly, with tears welling in his eyes.
“Innkeeper, give half of the reward to Noir, then 2,000 sals for each of his party members,”
“Understood Harri,” The innkeeper replied.
As Harri was walking back to his table, he heard a *clink* from behind. As he turned around, there was Noir (Who had recovered) and an unknown large chested female with a rapier clashing swords. Three guards entered the inn and took custody of Noir.
“Noir Blackshade, due to your current actions of disturbing this inn, you will spend five nights in prison and gain a seven day [%40 XP debuff],” One of the guards yelled.
Noir was taken out of the inn and all was at peace. Harri walked up to the mysterious rapier woman and started to talk to her.
“Thank you for saving me, would you care for a drink with my friends?” Harri asked the woman.
“I would be delighted, my name is Enar,” The woman replied.
“Innkeeper another chair please!” Harri yelled to the innkeeper.
Harri and Enar sat down again, Harri greeted everyone to Enar.
“Everyone, this is Enar. If you saw the fight, she saved me from Noirs failed to sneak up,” Harri said.
“Greeting everyone. So this is the ‘Creators’ group of four,”
Everyone was surprised, how did Enar know that the four had met the ‘Creator’ in person. Kaloko drew her bow.
“Who are you!” Kaloko yelled.
“Be quiet, I also met a creator, but I did not get a choice,”
“Sorry to interrupt, but is it ok if I use appraisal on you?” Harri asked.
“Be my guest, you should know that my class will come up as Swordsman: Rapier, my actual Job is [Hero]”
Harri used Appraisal on Enar.
[Name: Enar]
[Race: Human]
[Job:Swordsman: Rapier]
[Gender: Female]
[Lvl 14]
[Stats:]
[Hp 69]
[Str 48]
[Mp 67]
[Spd 62]
[Stm 45]
Harri eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
“My ability is called [Even up], it’s an ability which drastically increases my stats when I level up,” Enar continued.
“Well now, I’m scared of you,” Harri replied.
“Don’t be. I just want to join your party,”
“Seems like a fine deal,”
“What!,” The other three yelled.
“Just think about it everyone, if Enar is on our team, not only will we have more firepower, but we could also use her as a back up if one of us is unable to fight since her stats are so high,”
“I want a majority vote,” Atogin replied.
“Agreed,” Kaloko and Nicko then said.
“Ok, so does not want Enar on the team?”
Kaloko and Nicko put their hands up.
“Now, who wants Enar on the team?” Atogin asked.
Atogin and Harri put their hands up.
Since the four were at a standstill, Harri asked Dropley for its vote.
“Dropley, would you like Enar on the team? Jumping up and down for yes, no reaction for no,” Harri said to Dropley.
Dropley immediately burst into action and jumped up and down at an alarming rate.
“I believe that is a yes, welcome to the team Enar,” Harri continued.
“It will be a pleasure working with you all,” Enar said in a posh tone.
“Now my friends, LET US DRINK!” Atogin yelled.
And so they did, right until the moon was at its highest.

The Exiled Villainess Returns
(Please heed the warnings above before reading) Reborn into the beautiful but deadly world of Ethetia, she comes to a sudden awareness that she is now Livia Katrina Valentine, a character of a game of a reverse harem she once played on Earth called Aster Academy: The Feuding Houses. But this revelation comes a bit too late. You see, Livia wasn't just anyone. She was not given the anonymity of being a background character, or even the blessing of being the heroine. Instead, she has bestowed the role of being the atrocious villainess. And that is exactly what she had been. As a result, Livia triggers her own death flag event at her debutante. Her memories of her past life have the grace to come only minutes before she is accused of poisoning the heroine, Amelia. But all is not helpless. Via last-minute intervention, Livia successfully manages to avoid having her head decapitated. Being exiled was a small price to pay for retaining a pulse. Plus, at least this way, Livia can finally start to live her life, to become more than just a cruel folly. Her exile should have been a new but unusual beginning to her story. But pitiless reality comes knocking. Ethetia had once only been a background setting in a game. A pretty and still picture that mostly went disregarded as the even prettier characters on the screen unloaded their dialogue, but now, it was Livia's world. As real and wonderous as planet Earth once had been, filled with small creatures with their own wills, ambitions, and needs. Such one creature decides that exile was not enough of a penalty. That Livia, the bullish and jealous tormentor of the heroine, deserves a fate more befitting of her past deeds. One worst than death. Livia's fate is ripped out of her hands. She is forced into a collar, sold to an empire rotten with greed, and placed inside a harem where she is expected to wither and die from the inside out. But Livia refuses to be forgotten. Burning with a deep rage against those who only wish to see her fall into her own grave, Livia makes a twisted promise to herself. A promise that pushes her through the darkest moments of her life and brings to light a newfound power rooted deep inside her. So keen to discard her as the villain she has once been, the little creatures in their own ignorance brought forth something they could never dream to fathom. A beacon of darkness.

Magic-Farming
A thought experiment gone out of control, inspired by kosnik4's popular story, Magic-Smithing. What would life be like for someone else who was transported to the world inside Magic-Smithing? Someone who wasn't as prone to encounter incresasingly dangerous people, whose life was a little less chaotic? What if this person was content with a simple life of farming? Tending to the plants, sowing seeds, and reaping a great harvest at the end of the year. Of course, he's also a data scientist, so he can't help but squeeze out the maximum possible efficiency of his time and the potential of his attributes. Who doesn't make excel spreadsheets in their spare time? This is a slightly more "Slice of Life" esque version of kosnik4's story. Hopefully lighthearted, funny, and as enjoyable to read as it is thinking of increasingly ridiculous skill progressions. Thanks to kosnik4 and Magic-Smithing for providing fertile grounds for creativity to thrive. NOTE: THIS IS A FAN FICTION, AND ALL INTELLECTUAL RIGHTS BELONG TO KOSNIK4. I'm a patron of his story, and love reading about what happens next in his story. I've tried my best to be as accurate to his canon science as possible, though it's not 100% feasible. Afterall, the story isn't even done yet! My plan for the releases is to release a single chapter a day until 3/7, and then release 4 chapters a week on M, W, F, & Sat. P.S. If anyone can figure out what the EXACT formula for Level XP is, I'd love to hear it. I'm starting to doubt my math and excel capabilities. I have an equation that is fairly accurate and stays close to his values, but not exactly the same.

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.
