Chapter 47- Ulyle

In front of Mylo was Ulyle sitting with a calm and solemn expression, but Mylo could tell that this was just a facade. Ulyle was a healthy young African man, tall, virile, with astonishing back muscles, powerful chest, and masculine arms and blossoming bosom made for the sole purpose of firing a deathly arrow shot. His black eyes gazed similarly of that of a hawk watching his prey from above. His dark hair was long and straight.

He was also well known in real life, he was the son of a wealthy family whom birthed many athletes in Archery. His current in game physic was well known to match that of his real one. He was wearing a brown fur cape of very simple design. With leather armor protecting most of his vital spots. Attached behind his back was a longbow as tall as him. The design was nothing special but Mylo could tell it wasn't a common weapon.

"…"

"Can I ask you a question before we start?"

"Go ahead."

"How did you do it?"

"Do what?"

"Increase Efferus affinity to 80%?"

"Oh. Let just say I was the first one to find him. And that made it easier to get along with him."

"First one to find him?"

"I found him in a deathly situation and saved his life."

"…No wonder you managed to reach such a high affinity. This NPC is well known for not trusting a cursed one."

"I did not know that. No wonder his rewards were so appealing, it was because they were hard to get…well not for me though."

"…"

"Now that I take a closer look, I feel like I saw your name somewhere? But where? Hmmm…"

"Oh, that should be simple. No need to hide it since everyone knows about it even though it's been a few days. My name was on the Global announcement for both the first boss kill and the first to select the Beginners class. Oh and the first to find a lost kingdom."

"!"

"You seem surprised."

"A bit, your name was quite popular when the global announcement was shown. However people quickly forgot about you…you know… since you aren't in the top-ranking list."

"I am not trying to garner attention or fame. The announcement was broadcasted without my approval anyway. You might not believe me but rankings aren't everything…trust me."

"…"

"Btw how did you find another Kingdom within minutes of the server's opening?"

"Hmm, I guess there's no need to hide it since it has already been done right?"

"…"

"I selected the 'Random Location,' start point, instead of selecting a city or kingdom."

"There was a player that actually did that! Hahaha!"

'Why is he laughing so hard? I'm sure I wasn't the only one that selected this option...right?' Mylo thought to himself before redirected his attention to Ulyle.

"Ha- I respect your courage. I was too worried of being teleported into a high level map and never be able to escape it."

"…I would lie if I said I didn't either. But the excitement got to me."

"Not only that but you also selected a Beginners class? I just can't understand your thought process."

"I had my reasons for that. Anyway…how about we go back to our original reason for meeting here."

"Hmmm…"

"Yes, then let me ask you. What's your reason for buying my item? Its only use is that of a collectible item. I just can't understand why you would want to trade a potential unique skill for a collectible."

"I have my use for it. As for the skill, it's useless for me since it requirement is to be an archer. Even though the beginner class can learn any class skill I can't learn this skill because there is a requirement. It would be another story if it just said that I would learn an archer's skill but unfortunately for me I 'Must be an archer' to learn it which I'm not. "

"…could you show me the letter once again?"

"Here."

----------------------------

Name: Efferus Proof of Approval

Rank: None

Requirement: Affinity with Efferus 80%+, Archer's class.

Use: Allows the owner of the 'Proof of Approval' to learn a Unique Skill from the 'Archer's path'.

-This Item can be traded-

-------------------------------

"Are you participating in the PvP tournament?"

"Yes, I am"

"Why would you trade this item then? This would obviously increase my strength by a lot. It could even allow me to get first place."

"I know this; I do not believe I currently have the strength to place in the top ranking in the tournament. Most of the rankers have backing from financial institutes and are leaders of their own guilds. They have the advantage…for now. But things will change for the next tournament I promise you this. The only reason that I want to participate in the event is to compare my build with others."

"Build… I see. Then there's no need to waste your time any further. I accept your offer."

"Great! Then let complete the trade."

[You have successfully traded 'Efferus Proof of Approval' for 'Golden Spoon'.]

[You have acquired +1 Golden Spoon]

As the trade has concluded, Ulyle stood up from his chair and stretch out his hand towards Mylo. His eye locking towards his own. With a smile, Mylo stretched out his own and shook his hand.

"It has been great doing business with you. I hope to be able to do business with you in the future as well."

[Ulyle would like to add you as a friend. Accept? (YES/NO) ]

"Indeed, it would."

[You have accepted Ulyle friend request.]

"I can't wait to see your performance in the tournament…until next time."

After giving his goodbyes, Ulyle left the Inn without looking back. Heading straight towards Efferus location. While Mylo sat back into his chair and took out two items from his inventory.

[Would you like to use 'Skill Absorption Talisman' on 'Golden Spoon'? (YES/NO) ]

"…Yes!"

[Absorbing skill initiated… Absorption in progress...]

"…"

[Absorption Completed!]
