New Skill!

He went into the stationery shop.

Unlike the other buildings, the stationery store had only one floor.

This store was a branch of the "Fantasy Corporation". Although it also sells skill books, the main function of this store is the distribution of raw materials to other stores and institutions. Like books to create new skill books.

Entering the store Derick saw that it was well organized inside. There were several shelves with countless books on them.

These books were divided by sections, among them were "history", "arts", "monsters" and other subjects. The only section that was practically empty was the "Maps" section, there was only one book that was about "Mountain City".

Derick walked over to the "monsters" section and picked up the book that had "Bestiary" written on the cover.

This book was basically an encyclopedia about monsters, it had all the monster's mankind has ever known, from their description, their habits and their weaknesses.

Although he had a better knowledge of monsters than most people, Derick didn't know about all of them, and it was also always good to keep the knowledge fresh in his memory.

The book didn't cost much, it cost only 5 silver coins.

Now Derick moved on to his other goal at the stationery store which was to buy a Skill Book.

***

After searching for a while Derick found what he was looking for.

It was in an isolated part of the store and it looked like it hadn't been cleaned for a long time. On this isolated shelf there were 10 skill books and all of them were the same.

It seems that the store owner didn't throw them away, because it would be a waste of money.

Derick picked one of them up and used his "Eye of truth" skill.

___

Since his compatibility with the profession "Librarian" was not very high, Derick decided to take 4 .

In addition to this skill Derick took a blank book and a set of pencils.

He planned to map out the surroundings of the city so he could get around better, avoid dangerous areas, and if it worked out well, sell.

What Derick didn't know was that he was not the only one who had this idea, thousands of other people had thought of doing this, but mysteriously after a while they were all killed outside the city.

This was one of the reasons that the "Maps" section only had the book "Mountain City".

The reason Derick didn't know was that rarely did a topic from the gates reach the center of the city. Only a few soldiers commented on it.

Derick spent 1 gold coin and 10 silver coins.
