Eye System

Chapter 55: Humiliation

The Voltiac Guild, a guild that is known throughout the continent and has bases everywhere in every country. It was a haven for mercenaries, assassins and hunters and receive thousands of requests daily with spirit coins and other valuable items as rewards.

Assassins, mercenaries and hunters are ranked the same as missions in the ranks F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.

With this in mind, Lex realised that his plan to join an academy would only hold him back and would draw unwanted attention to himself, meanwhile if he joins the Voltiac Guild he would not only be able to train, but he would also gain money and keep his identity.

"I need a mask" he mumbles to himself knowing that if he wanted to keep his identity secret and not draw unwanted attention and curiosity.

Thinking this, he looks around in the market area he was in and sees that there was an armoury on the street. Walking past, he gazes in through the shop window to see large sets of shining armour and an almost endless array of weapons, but only a few caught his eye.

Knowing that he no longer had any of the skills, methods or powers of his past life, he knew he would need weapons. A set of black throwing knives and a long slender silver blade that was drawing the eye of everyone that sees it.

These were exactly the weapons and equipment he needed and not only that, he could see through the window that there was a robe that seemed to be able to change the size and despite its flexibility was stronger than all the armours.

Mesmerised by the high equipment Lex stood there in awe and also curious about how arrays would work in this reality, which was something he was very curious about but didn't get to explore.

The one thing that caught his eye the most was the set of white robes which were on display in the corner of the armoury.

"Fuck off kid you are scaring away customers" orders a large, bald and arrogant man with a bushy white beard.

He had muscled burly arms and was three metres tall and from what he was wearing and his physique one could assume he was a blacksmith.

"I am just looking in from your window, I am not doing anything," refutes Lex directly.

"I am the greatest blacksmith in the country, Max Ford and you dare to talk to me in such a way and stand outside my store," he roars angrily getting the attention of all those in the area.

The small weak Lex was kicked in his side by the giant blacksmith who with his muscular, massive and powerful body saw Lex as merely an ant. Although it was a light kick for Max, for the LVL 1 Lex, it was extremely powerful as he is launched sliding down the street.

His right ribs that were kick hit were shattered and his body was all scrapped and ripped apart from sliding down the street.

Lex knew it was a lost cause to try to fight him and from his creations, Lex could tell that what he told him that he is the greatest blacksmith in the country and from his size he must be an extremely powerful body leveller.

While the crowds just laugh and scoff at the skinny kid with white hair and ripped clothes crawling in the streets. Lex became a laughing stock but just swallowed the humiliation and clenched his teeth to bear with the excruciating pain of his shattered right ribs scraping against his organs.

Getting up while holding his side he staggers into the alleyway he was in before and heads deep into the dark alleyway and collapses onto the wall as he was no longer able to suppress the pain.

Withdrawing a recovery pill, he places it in his mouth as it dissolves and releases and abundant vitality that rushed through his body.

Learning from his past life he knew never to rush revenge and from the blacksmith's aura and what he can produce, Lex knew his strength and status must be extremely high in the world.

He knew that recklessness won't help him and he must be patient and train. Streaming energy through his body and his eyes he directs the vitality to his right ribs which were most hurt and within a few hours of absorbing energy he had an abundant amount of energy and felt extremely comfortable as he closes his eyes and sleeps.

The illuminating rising sun shone over Lex's face who was sleeping in an alleyway between stores.

Yawning he gets up and despite the uncomfortable position he slept in he felt better than he has ever felt in this body.

"I still don't have the equipment and mask I need to begin my career in Voltiac Guild" he mumbles to himself in contemplation realising that Angela would be found and would die soon.

"As long as I stay away from her, for now, the events won't repeat themselves and Angela will have more time to live" he states after analysing what he knew about realities.

"I must get strong and be prepared for anything as soon as possible and before I can go to the Voltiac Guild I need equipment," says Lex.

{Ding, the system would recommend the host to steal the equipment from the blacksmith as they are high quality, especially those mysterious white robes and host has no need to feel guilty as he had disrespected host in the first place} advises him the system.

[What an incredible idea system and it was so obvious but I didn't even realise it] exclaims Lex within his mind.

[But how the hell am I meant to sneak in and take what I want without him knowing] he asks.

{Ding, I think the host has forgotten that he has the spacial eye which uses the laws of space, so the only thing holding you back is yourself} reminds him, the System.

"I haven't even tried use the spacial eye" he realises.

"I will need to get prepared and will get my revenge and get new equipment in the darkness of the night" he plans.
