《Sun Collector》Chapter #31 Bison Coats
Advertisement
The next day I got up and sitting at my table was grand elder.
Why would he come to visit me?
He must want something I thought to myself.
"I'm glad your up I have something to talk to you about"
Yep, he wanted something, he could at least make it less obvious.
"I saw you got lucky and got half a bison corpse."
He looked startled for a second apparently that's what he had came here for.
"You saw through your glasses?"
"Ya, I saw you" Clever old man had found the perfect opportunity.
He said, "That will actually make my visit easier I need you to make a rare ring based on the bison."
He wanted something so now was the time to barter.
"That can be arranged for a price. What do you want the ability ring too do?"
"Increased survivability for a period of time and it of course runs off mana."
That was easy enough I supposed.
"What do you get out of this?" I asked
"We will trade the ability ring to the item outpost in exchange there going to make the bison fur into coats."
"Why coats?" I asked
"The forest isn't the only place to get resources I have to prepare for the day when someone from the outpost wants to explore the mountains."
So that's what it was huh.
"Do you need a coat to travel further into the mountain regions?"
Elder seemed surprised but answered "Yes I am unable to stay overnight in that region. There are ruins there that could be greatly beneficial to our outpost if studied. But it would take me two nights to reach them."
"I agree you don't have to say anything more. In exchange I want you to let me make a legendary ring for the cook."

"Agreed"
He stood up and we shook hands.
"As an investment Ill give you this.
It was a larger ability ring this must be an ability ring that goes in slot two.
It read
Combat pro~ Understand the mechanisms of combat better as long as you are in the outpost. Consumes mana to use.
He seemed to understand my puzzlement.
"I know you need mana to craft so just flash the ability for a second when your struggling."
"Okay, what are you gonna do with the bison meat?"
He laughed "I supply the cafeteria with food that my main job."
So I would be eating bison for a while
He wished me luck and left to go forage.
I went to pick up my food from the cafeteria.
It was hundred year old bison steak with berries.
It had the ability to reinforce bones.
I missed the mana regen but upgrading my body so I could have more ability rings was definitely better for the long run.
I decided I was going to cultivate mana for the rest of the day.
The next morning when I got up the number on my arm was 213 if I stayed inside under the sunlight I would be able to make the rare ring.
With things like trade, it would take a while to go through so I was better off finishing it right away.
I stayed inside until I had enough mana then I went and crafted the ring.
It was nothing special I used the bison horn to make it.
It had a non colorful bison carved onto it.
That was the way to differentiate ring grades, the more detailed and colorful the image the more powerful the ring. That meant that some rings were more powerful then others even if they were the same tier.

I put on my glasses and went to find cannon man.
I checked and he was still standing on the wall like he always did.
"Hey," I said
He didn't respond I wonder why he never responded.
I pulled out the ring and casually tossed it to him.
"I heard your going to use a legendary ring to upgrade the chef." He said
"Ya, what about it."
"It would be a waste. The main way you use legendary rings is to make it so you don't have to use mana to use the ability right?"
He was right but I didn't say anything. Two could play the silent game.
"He can already use mana so make a mythic ring for him."
"That was actually very useful " but then "What if he doesn't have enough mana?"
"He has mana he used to be a forager before, his ability is he can generate mana and he uses the mana to cook."
"Alright, thanks for the tip," I said as I set off.
That guy had just saved me 500 mana.
I should have consulted with the chef on his abilities first.
But between crafting and training, I hadn't had time to do much else.
I wanted to go into the forest so bad and roam free.
Even though I knew anything I found would be inferior to what grand elder could get.
I walked into my room and started reading.
Tomorrow I promised myself I would go on an adventure and flirt with a beauty.
Maybe id go to the bar.

The Fiasco
When you’ve seen as many catastrophes as I have, “disaster” becomes a relative term. Us perpetual kidnap victims get to hang our heads while waiting for the tights-wearing crowd to arrive.

Sit back, grab your drink or drug of choice, and follow along as I hit some of the highlights. We'll start with Ted, a reporter with a scheme of petty revenge. We'll meet Alice, a psychopath with personality problems whose out to make babies or disembowel me. I'm never sure. We'll watch me fail at being a glorified field trip supervisor for a powered collage. There's a whole host of other heroes and villains along the way. At the end of this story about me and those suffering my presence, I'll end the world. Because that's the logical last step.

Unfinished - Apologies to anyone who was reading but I have no current intentions to revisit this story Alex was stuck in a rut: He was nearing thirty, and his career seemed to be going no-where; He used to have plenty of friends at university, but had gradually lost touch with them. He had recently started using a dating site, but truthfully he never quite got over his ex. It could be worse; he didn't spend his nights wallowing in self pity. However, he had a sinking feeling that his life was going no-where fast. When Alex decided to take up an old hobby all he really was looking for was something fun to do on friday nights. Thrust into another world by a mad mage Alex must adapt quickly to survive. Unfortunately, Alex showed up late to game night and ends up stuck with a pretty mediocre character in this game like reality. Alex must learn to survive in this new world; just because it all seems like a giant game doesn't make death any less terrifying. This will be my first attempt at writing litrpg. I wanted to set myself the challenge of writing every week and I think knowing people might be reading it will motivate me. I've always worked much better with external deadlines. FAQ Why should I read this LitRPG? I am writing because I enjoy it and you should read it if you enjoy it. If I had to make an elevator pitch I would start off by saying my MC is a rogue type character, which seems a relatively uncommon character at least based on what I have read. I also strive to make the supporting cast three dimensional characters, and not just caricatures. Finally, I can't forget that this is a LitRPG so I have tried to make a RPG system with depth, and one that makes sense. How often will you release chapters? At least once a week is my goal. I am a nurse with a baby at home, so between my hospital and my baby I won't have time for more unless something dramatically changes. Will there be romance? I won't rule it out as I try to let my characters write their own stories. However, there will NEVER be a harem, it just isn't something I am interested in. Gore, Profanity, and Traumatising Content? I don't intend to have any of these present at obscene levels, but my tolerance might be different to yours. The tags are mostly there to cover me.
