《Arcane Universe[AU]》Ch 2: Merchant

Merchant
After standing on the plain for a few minutes, players were teleported to a random city by the system. Aizen ended up in a town called Inaross, which is a city with a medieval style.
'People here are so real…' Aizen saw NPCs talking to other NPCs just like people. Players ran through the streets in search of some mission.
"Ma'am, do you want me to do something for you?"
"Young man, why are you so excited?" Her were confused by the mood of this player. It wasn't just this lady. Other NPCs were also confused when they saw so many players making requests. They didn't know why these people liked to fulfill orders.
'They don't seem to understand our existence. Why do they ignore the fact that so many players show up out of nowhere in town?' Aizen thought.
'Why am I questioning? They were created that way.' He shook his head at his stupidity.
Aizen continued walking through the streets. He liked to watch the scenery. Several children, young people, and adults passed through the streets. Many were happy, others dismayed. The NPCs' facial expressions were so real that it was impossible to distinguish them from a normal human.
'Missions…'
Aizen logged into the game's forum and checked player posts. The game forum was extremely active and many people were sharing their experiences. You could access the in-game forum, record scenes, etc.
FORUM:
>Support Guilds | Hot topic☆
Aizen became interested in this topic, so he clicked.
>Hi, my name is Haz. I'm a player who likes to explore. I'm posting this thread to explain to players about support guilds. Support guilds are guilds made by NPCs to help players. There are several support guilds and each one is related to a profession or a game mode.

>The Haz player has uploaded images.
Aizen looked at the images Haz had uploaded in the thread. The images were about the guild buildings. Haz managed to find several guilds, among them are: Mages Guild, the Alchemists Guild, Merchants Guild, Blacksmiths Guild, etc.
Haz managed to find more than ten guilds. However, despite finding several, he still hasn't come close to discovering them all. It just showed how big the Arcane Universe is.
'Merchant Guild.' That was his goal. Aizen closed the thread and went looking for the Merchant Guild. The city that Haz had started wasn't the same city for every player, so they would have to look it up on their own.
Aizen asked some NPCs for the location of the merchant guild. After a few minutes of walking, he arrived in front of a giant building. The building was luxurious with various ornaments all around. More than 40 floors. Several people entered and exited the building.
Aizen entered the guild building and headed towards the balcony.
"Hi, how can I help you?" A woman greeted Aizen politely. She was the receptionist.
"Can I join the Merchant Guild?"
"Do you want to be a merchant?" The woman looked a little surprised.
"Is there a problem with that?" Aizen frowned a little.
"No. It's just that you look so young. Are you sure about that?"
"Do not worry about it."
'This NPC cares about people.'
"Alright, enter your details on this card, in the meantime, I'll explain about the Guild to you." The woman handed Aizen a card.
"Well." Aizen took the card and began filling it out.
"The merchant guild acts as a means for merchants to sell their items and conduct their business, play the role of mediator during transactions, as well as providing support in sales. (...)"

The woman explained everything about the merchants' Guild to Aizen. The rules are simple and easy to understand. Any RPG player would know about traders.
"Here is your card. Merchants are classified into five levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, Diamond, and Ruby. This card is valid on the entire continent of Vloyix, but it may not be valid on other continents. Be careful."

"Thanks." Aizen thanked the woman and left the Guild.
【Congratulations, you have acquired your first profession. A random feat will be awarded】
"Huh?" Aizen looked at the message that appeared in front of him. He had already read about it. It appears that players are given a random feat when choosing their first profession.
'Infinity Inventory'
-Your inventory has infinite capacity.
If Aizen had his mouth watering right now, he would spit it out. He never thought of getting something this good at first. The players' inventory was limited, so they would have to empty them quite often. Now he had gained infinite inventory.
'This is perfect. I won't have any problems with the goods.' Even though he hadn't gained any combat talents, he was excited.
'Excited…' It's been so long since he's been excited about something.
'I should find a mission.'

World of Telduria
The world of Telduria is filled with dangers and opportunities. The world is made up of numerous factions, kingdoms and alliances. Most of the time there is relative peace but every now and then wars and skirmishes breaks out. There is a council of nations which tried to mediate peace between the nations. Each nation is represented along with the guilds which span the world.The guilds have an invested interest in keeping the peace due to how they work across the borders. The different nations make up half of the council while the guilds make up the second half. The balance in the world is on a life's edge. A powder keg waiting to blow, but no one dares to make the first move.After the formation of the adventures guild and the mercenary guild most nations dissolved their militarises and instead the army is more of a policing force than an offensive one while the guilds hunt down dangerous creatures and monsters that appears in the world.The nations have changed their ways from war to one of assassination, espionage, economics and diplomacy. World leaders don't tend to survive very long if they don't have guards with them at all times. While officially there is no assassin's guild or thieves guild they do sure exist and are thriving like never before in the current political climate. That and the other guilds don't stop them since they also hire their services from time to time.The various temples and religions have no official power part from some nations which are based around a belief. In actuality though they have considerable powers since they control the masses just as well as the rulers themselves. Get on their bad side and you might just find an assassin coming for you. A young woman gets thrown into this grimdark world from our own. Will she survive the curveball that gets thrown in her face as she changes into something else? Map created by Maximeplasse This fiction is based on my play-per-post RP that I've run before but with my own take on summoned characters and dungeon settings. At certain points I'll also allow reader decisions if the story gets popular enough. xD It's unrelated to the D&D Theron setting; Telduria I just liked the name and the map when I started up the RP back in the day.

After the Long Burn
After the longest exodus in human history, a terrible accident threatens to turn the salvation of humanity into its most desperate struggle for survival. From the ashes of calamity rises a new human story. A frustrated scientist dedicates her life to recreating the Earth in alien soil, while another is gunned down for his sin and sets off a chain of events culminating in a desperate escape across the void for an opportunity at redemption. Around a distant moon a deep space miner stumbles onto a secret, the key to which lies buried inside his own tortured mind. After the Long Burn is an anthology of short science fiction stories set in the distant Ionad System. Author's Note: I thought I might try something a little different with this story. Rather than one story, it is six stories of varying length, each taking a slightly different perspective to tell a larger story. Some are more actioney, others more cerebral but I hope there will be something for everyone. Stories over 7000 words, with the exception of the titular After the Long Burn, will be published in two parts. I anticipate an upload schedule of one part every other day.
