'It's the Chosen One!'
After knowing that this guy in front of his store is a chosen one he was beyond thrilled since the possibility of finding a chosen one is not very easy at all, but just before he went out for lunch he found one and it's right in front on him.
"Hey, how did you know that this thing is an artifact? Did you use any advanced grade skill to know the artifact? Or did the artifact called for you? How did you know the name of this thing?" The man in fedora hat question Allen.
Allen was speechless about his question 'Advance Grade? Called me? I just use a normal appraisal and it just pops up.'
"No, it's didn't call me, neither did I use any advance skill, I just use my appraisal, and it's a common skill." Allen response.
"What? appraisal? just appraisal?" The man asks.
"Yeah, just appraisal."
"You must be kidding me, right?" the man looks at Allen dumbly.
"There's no way that a simple appraisal can appraise an artifact, just who are you?"
Allen was the same. He realizes that a simple appraisal cannot appraise something amazing like this one, an 'Artifact'.
"But I really use appraisal and why do you ask? Should you introduce your name first?" Allen ask.
"I'm Nick, a blacksmith and the owner of this shop and those items." the man smiles widely while proudly announced and patting his chest at the same time.
"I'm Allen, I'm also a blacksmith, but I'm a low-level blacksmith, unfortunately." Allen response.
"Well, what do you know, a fellow blacksmith, follow me inside I have some question to ask, I wish you to answer some of my questions?"
"Well, I don't know man, sound suspicious suddenly inviting me to go inside, you don't have any plan to.. you know... right?" Allen cautiously asks.
"The f*ck?!? What the hell are you talking about? I just going to ask you about the artifact." Nick grumpily said.
"I don't know what are you doing in the market, whether to buy some equipment or sell some, come with me I think you can buy something here and if you're going to sell some stuff, I will buy it."
"I will sell some of my stuff, so sure let's go inside." Allen response.
"Come in then." Nick immediately opens the door, and gestures for him to go inside first while showing a bright smile.
'Wtf? I'm not going to get r*pe isn't?' Allen thought, he then tentatively walk inside.
but after he gets inside, it astonished him, the shop in front looks like a shack but inside is full of different shiny equipment, one look and you know that all the weapons, armors, accessories, etc are above 'Good Quant'.
"This is amazing, it's so shiny here," Allen remarked while looking around in admiration.
"Amazing? this is garbage." Nick responded.
'Garbage? even if I try for years I can't create something amazing like this.' Allen thought.
"Well, let's sit first and answer please answer my question."
"Sure, what's your question then?" Allen said while he sat at the opposite chair of nick.
"How can you know the name of the artifact? A common appraisal cannot possibly do that." Nick asks, he doubts that a common appraisal can do that. If it is, then Allen will not be the first to know that boots are an artifact.
"But I did, I just use appraisal, even me I didn't know that I would success appraising it." Allen sincerely answered.
"It's not that I doubting you, but a common appraisal cannot do that, even if you use 'Judgement' you can't see anything even simple info."
Allen was shocked that even a 'Judgement' skill cannot appraise something like that since many know that 'Appraisal' is a common skill but it can actually advance to it 2nd Advancement called 'Analysis' then it's final and the last advancement is the 3rd called 'Judgement' It can basically see detailed info of the target or find its weaknesses, but unfortunately no player ever achieve to get this skill, only an info was found regarding this skill.
"If what you are saying is true, then maybe something was wrong, let me see my skill first I may overlook something," Allen said.
"Sure, let me get some tea first," Nick responds with a smile before getting up and walks towards the back room.
'This NPC is very surreal, it's like I'm talking to a real person, I didn't even realize that this guy is actually an NPC." Allen thought, but before he opens up his status, he remembers that he was on his way to his shop to activate his various titles and receive some godly op stats.
'I forgot that I would activate the titles, but let's set that aside at the moment, let's look at my current skill first, let's see if I will find what's wrong.' Allen thought, but before that, he saw some notification.
'I turned off the notification I forgot, what is this then.' He forgot that because of the rapid notification he receives after accepting Morpheus gift, he turned off all his notification because of annoyance.
He then clicks the notification then suddenly, another bunch of notification rapidly flows inside his brain, he was annoyed and wanted to turn off the notification again, but what he saw greatly overwhelm him.
'The f*ck is this now? I just want to play the game normally. Why does this keep happening? Am I in some kind of novel or something? how OP will I become?'
