Tarrox, The Gentle Terror.
"Luna, I'll buy both chakrams. Both of them have the same price tag, but I'll just get one for free using the token while buying the other with gold coins," Aren spoke as he looked at the price tags.
480 Gold coins.
Luna nodded and said, "If you can transform both chakrams, then it's worth getting two of them. Early investment to get better and faster progress is always a good thing since we are time-bound."
Aren nodded as he wanted both chakrams for similar reasons.
He then called staff and finished the procedure at the desk as he paid the golden token and 480 golds to get both chakrams.
Afterward, the three of them left the shop.
"Big brother and sister, where do you want to go now? If you are looking for a specific place, then I will guide you there," Gin patted his chest as he said with a grin.
"A place to stay. Inn, hotel, or something like that," Aren said after thinking for a moment.
"Alright, let's go; I'll show you some good Inns." Gin walked towards the left side path as Aren and Luna followed him. Luna once again tells Aren to take out his sword so she can sit on it and read the scroll.
While walking, Aren asked, "Do you know the prices of houses here? House with at least three rooms."
"House with at least three rooms...Hmmm, they would cost around 4000 or more gold coins. Do you want to buy a house here, big brother?"
"Yep, but that's not urgent. Since there are Inns, we will stay there for a day or two. It's just a start, and we still have a whole day ahead before we get exhausted and require rest."
...
Afterward, Aren, Luna, and Gin spent an hour looking around the town for various Inns and other things.
On the way, Aren noticed an interesting thing when he came across an exquisite-looking house and saw a listless old man sitting on a rocking chair on the lawn of his house.
'I'll visit there later since it looks like a quest triggering situation,' Aren thought.
...
On the other hand, Lorain and Quinn had finished forming their spirit core.
[ Congratulations! You have successfully formed your spirit core. ]
[ With the formation of the spirit core, your physical body has received a slight boost. Your strength, agility, and constitution increased by 2 points, and your spirit energy pool is increased by 100. ]
These two notifications were similar for both of them, but the next ones were different.
Lorain and Quinn were surprised and confirmed with each other about the benefits.
"It seems like I awakened an affinity called Aunivit. But I have no clue what that is," Lorain said with confusion.
She then looked at the new status window and said, "Although I don't know what it is, Its benefits are apparent."
[ Aunivit is an Ethereal-type element. As such, awakening its affinity provides you with a passive ability: Saxa Vitusa. This ability will grow stronger as you comprehend the Aunivit element. ]

Lorain got the knowledge about
-Level 1 effect: Protects the soul with a thin layer of Aunivit element and reduces the fatigue felt by your soul.
Note: Additional effects will unlock as you progress in the understanding of the element.
Hearing about all that, Quinn was surprised and said with a smile, "I didn't get any affinity but something called Vital Motes. It..."
Quinn's spirit core had an additional thing called Vital motes. From the information she got, she can consume vital motes to increase the damage of her skills.
The vital motes can only be used in attacking-type skills as their sole purpose is to increase the damage.
Also, due to the existence of vital motes, she got a passive +5 increase in strength and constitution which may increase as she upgrades her spirit core further.

After sharing this new discovery with each other, Lorain said, "Let's gather the berries first and then contact Aren."
Quinn nodded as she and Lorain started picking up berries from the field.

At a faraway mountain range, where giant palaces were situated, Rosflin was sitting on a couch and gaming on the mobile inside one of the palaces.
"There is still forty percent charging in the mobile, but...I really want to see if I can charge it or not."
After thinking for a few moments, Rosflin gave in to his curiosity and flew out of the palace before flying behind the mountain range where dark clouds were hovering in the air.
Below the clouds were pools of water, but strangely, it crackled with dark blue lightning.
"Where are you going, Rosflin?"
Before rosflin could enter the thunder pools area, A robust middle-aged man with long red hair and a bare upper body that showed natural muscles appeared. His upper body had faint glittering red patterns that looked similar to scales of dragons but in smaller magnitude such that it perfectly blended with his body.
He was none other than the father of Rosflin and the brother of the current Red Dragon King, Tarrox, The Gentle Terror.
Rosflin giggled and showed the mobile phone and charger to his father, "Father, I want to try charging the phone. Aren told me the method on how to charge it. I have to..."
Rosflin told everything to his father, who just kept a gentle smile on his face.
After Rosflin was done speaking, Tarrox said, " Give me the phone; I'll tell you how to charge it."
Tarrox plugged the pin into mobile and then pointed his index finger at the thunder pool as a tiny wisp of lightning flew towards him.
"When you charge it in the future, just take a very small amount of lightning, just like this tiny wisp. Afterward, extract a miniature particle from it and let it touch those two metal fangs of the charger.
"You can extract such tiny particle one by one and let it touch the charger's fangs depending on the battery percentage displayed in the mobile until it reaches 100%."
Seeing battery going up by 10% with that single lightning particle touching the charger's fangs, Rosflin's mouth wide opened as he looked at his father, "Father, How did you do it?! It seems as if you already knew about it."
Tarrox ruffled rosflin hair as he smiled, "Because I indeed knew about it beforehand. Alright, now try it yourself and enjoy."
Rosflin giggled with excitement as he also started doing the same.
"By the way, Rosflin. Did you eat today and finish your daily training yet? Or were you gaming all the time?" Tarrox asked as he raised his red eyebrows.
"Eh, I already did that. I ate my fill and even finished training."
"Good." Tarrox nodded with a smile before he left towards mountain palaces on the mountain range.
When Tarrox arrived on top of the palace, he stopped before seeing a burning portal conjuring in front of him.
"Hey Tarrox, did you choose a person yet? We have selected one, only you are left," A miniature phoenix with radiant icy-blue burning feathers appeared out of a burning portal and asked.
"Not yet, but I was going to observe the person I have in mind. Come along if you want to."
"Sure."
