Selling items

【Welcome back】
"Thanks." Aizen opened the forum. He decided to create a profile because it facilitated communication. Players create a profile to share their experiences. Some post pictures about landscapes, others give tips about something. In general, the forum is always busy. Aizen could create a profile to expose his items to the public and get a high price. He thought about putting the items up for auction, but first, he would release the items. The auction was the best option on most occasions, as you didn't need to be present at the time of sale, in addition to having greater purchase reach. People can buy an item at auction from another city, for example.
'Normal players are broke, Guilds and professional players will be the only ones with high purchasing power.'
"Ready."
Aizen has finished creating the profile. Now he would post a video of the items. The Status system in this game is different, the items didn't show damage, defense, etc. What defined how good the item was is the item itself. Were your skills good? If it's a sword, would the cutting power be good? And the weapon material? There are several factors. The easiest way to see if an item is good is to test it.
User capability also influences item capability.
Aizen took the most relevant items and started recording a showcase. Red Obsidian could easily cut rocks, and it was good to handle. His skills were also fantastic. Elemental (dark) cuts could kill goblins as easily as cutting cabbage.
After doing a showcase, he posted them on his profile.
'Well, let's go to the guild.' He decided to pay a quick visit to the merchants' guild.

Comments:
-A SR item?! Fuck, this guy is lucky.
-This SR item is fantastic! Maybe it's the world boss drop
-I will be bidding, but guilds will probably try to buy this item.
-Nobody has a lot of money, man. It doesn't hurt to try
-Is this Aizen crazy? Why is he selling such an item?
-He appears to be a merchant, it's written on his profile
- How did he kill the Boss? A World Boss is stronger than a Boss Lord
-I do not know. Maybe he used some trick?

In a small house, seven players were seated with serious expressions.
"Leader, what do we do?"
"We will buy this item! Tell our players to get as many coins as possible." The man sitting in the first chair replied. He was the leader of the Pegasus Guild. His name is Ren Yosaka. He is famous, as he managed to be guild leader at just 23 years old, considered a prodigy.
Pegasus is one of the High guilds that exist. Pegasus represents the country of Koura. Koura was a world power and was located on the continent of Aikeon. There are five continents: Aikeon, Yeseron, Siatrane, Jokeron, and Cicaes.
Several professional players join this guild due to the advantages. High-ranking members have various benefits, such as a million-dollar salary, item preference, high command power, etc.
"Leader, we are short on manpower."
"Hire temporary labor. We need to purchase that item."
The competition between the guilds was increasingly intense. The problem everyone was suffering from was a lack of money and resources. Large guilds often had tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of players, but many had no guild contract and served as a "last resort.

Guilds have many divisions.
Casual members are guild members but do not have obligations, they are the lowest echelon players.
Official members, who work for the guild, are paid and have certain obligations to fulfill.
Elite members, who are one of the principal guild powers (composed of many above-average players), work full time in the guild and are paid very well.
In the penultimate division, we have specialists. They are the players who surpassed the elites and are great prodigies.
In the last division, we have the core members, they are the mighty members of the guild and also, as Leader, Deputy Leader, etc.
There is also the guild's Ace player, but it is in a division of its own.
Guilds provide resources for elite members and above. Official and casual Members do not receive any recourse. Guilds with many players need a lot of resources, and it wasn't easy to get this. Most quests can only be done once, and there is a limit on how many players can do them, as NPCs don't just randomly give quests. Most guild players are also very far away, as there are many worlds, cities, countries, continents, etc. It's impossible to manage them all.
*Sigh!*
"Understood."

In a bar
"Why is it so noisy outside?!" A woman exclaimed. She was having a beer, her voice indicated that she was drunk.
"Leader, that Aizen posted something on the forum." A young man with glasses replied.
"Huh? What did he post?"
"Looks like he's been selling Boss World Drops."
"!!"
"Is this serious?!" The woman's posture changed. It looks like she's not drunk anymore.
"Yes, he appears to be a merchant."
"Merchant…" She showed a thoughtful expression. "Contact the other members. We will bid on this item."
Other guilds also decided to get moving.

'Looks like it worked.' Aizen looked at his hot topic.
"Oh, it's you! What do you want?" The clerk asked Aizen.
"I want to sell items."
"All right."
After organizing everything, Aizen managed to put the items up for auction. The only rare item he left out was the boot because her skill was so useful. The armor was heavy, he didn't like it. He also kept most of the I (Uncommon) items, as his weapon could consume other materials to evolve.
"You are a promising young man. Keep it up." The woman was surprised when she saw the items Aizen had brought.
'Where did he get this? He looks too young.'
"Fine, thanks," Aizen said goodbye to the woman and left the guild. He also earned promotion points and was close to gaining a silver card. He gained bonus points as his first sale was a high-demand item.
'What do I do now?'

Fall of a Civilization - Modern Apocalypse
Today was an ordinary day. The same day as every day. The start of a monotonous day for some while being an exciting one for others. Today was supposed to be the latter for me. My first day in an abroad country, coming here for my studies. But everything changed when the world started spewing monstrosities, abhorrent creatures, and powers. This is the story following Rudy, who gets trapped in a foreign country when the world decided to metaphorically flip its table. If the [horror] tag didn't already tell you, this story tries to give more focus to the monsters than other Litrpg's and also intends to have a much more serious tone. My writing may be sub-par as I am a starting writer, but I promise to strive and improve as I keep writing along with your feedback and response. Updates will be at every 3 days.
