The Author's POV

Chapter 23

Seeing the numerous people going to and fro between each stall, I couldn't help but feel my heart race at the extensive number of goods that shone brightly under the street lights.

Each one looked more tempting than the other.

Going through each stall one by one, I made a mental note of the things that seemed interesting.

This way, once I went through the majority of the stalls, I could decide which thing I needed to buy and which thing I didn't.

Since I was planning on venturing inside of a dungeon, I require several things.

Arriving at a stall, I went forward and picked up a slim necklace that had a purple stone imbued in it.

Name : Necklace of tranquility

Type : Artifact

Rank : G

Use : Allows wearer to have better sleep.

Description : Artifact created by an unknown blacksmith.

With the aid of the status window, I could see the detail of each artifact I touched, making it easier for me to look for what I wanted.

Looking at the necklace in my hand, I thought

'This could indeed be useful, as sleeping inside of a dungeon can be challenging'

Dungeons were essentially portals that connected earth to the demon world.

Their harsh environment means that only monsters or strong individuals could survive inside of them.

With its harsh conditions, one needs, alongside good equipment, to be in their best possible shape.

If one lacked sleep, then it became much harder for them to continue venturing inside of the dungeon as a sleep-deprived person's reaction time becomes slower.

Thus, this necklace could definitely be of good use inside of dungeons.

"Excuse me"

"Yes, how may I help you?"

Calling out the stall owner, who wore a black hood to hide his features.

I pointed at the necklace in my hand and asked

"How much is this?"

Carefully inspecting the necklace in my hands, the stall owner paused for a second before saying

"That necklace? 3000 U"

Placing the necklace down, I went to the next stall.

Sleeping was for the weak.

Slower reaction time? Heh, I say to hell with that!

3000 U?

My word.

Talk about daylight robbery.

Although the effect was good, there's no way a G rank artifact was worth that much!

Trying my best to forget about this accident, I ventured deeper into the market.

As I was walking, I remembered the number of certain stalls that had some interesting items up for sale.

Because of my limited budget, I needed to be careful when buying stuff.

Right now, more than anything else, I needed a sword.
