"Hmph!"
"You sure you can move all those boxes?"
"Don't worry about it, I can"
"If you say so, just be careful"
I lied, I was dying inside but I didn't want to look weak so I just did my best.
"298 books huh"
I now need to organize all these books. Firstly I thought it was going to be hard but the only hard thing I find in this job is just the lifting sometimes and trying to find a specific book. It was pretty easy.
Beep*
I got a quest.
"Finally now lets see"
==========WINDOW==========
------QUESTS------
1. Kill 1 slimes.
Reward : 50 exp.
==========================
1 slime that's it and no reward just exp? Well it makes sense I'm new so. But with my luck I expected to be a reward at least but nothing.
Well I could easily do it but it just wasn't worth anything. A quest can be discard it or you can leave it to expire for 48 hours. I'll just do it for the sake that it is my first quest.
I need to work now so I'll do it later.
...
After a while it was coming close to the end of my shift and I was finished with the books on the history section.
Walking near the counter I saw a big clock that we put up earlier on.
6:32
"Miss. Juju I'm finished."
"Okay I'll come there in a bit, and drop the 'miss' part I think you are doing this just to annoy me."
"Ah sorry, I forget"
After a few minutes I could see her coming out of a door.
"What's that place just came out from?"
"That's the toilet and the back of the bookstore"
While I was organizing here the books she was doing a harder job than me, working at the back of the bookstore where about 20% of book were and she had an office there was doing a lot of paper work too, it was mentally exhausting she told me.
"So that's where they were huh"
"Yep, you can leave now its the end of your shift"
"If you are still working I can help"
"Thanks but I think we are good for today"
"Okay if anything just contact me I'll come"
"Thanks, I actually have a small gift for you"
"?"
A gift?
"Here, it's a dagger"
"Ah thank you so much!"
"It's fine, when I was younger at about 17 I wanted to become an adventurer a close range fighter. But after a while I just got much more interested in magic and books, it's better with you than being piled under dust with no usage"
"It's looks very nice and sharp"
"Of course, the handle as you can see is yellow, it is wrapped with sand snake a very strong-"
"Did you just say sand snake?!"
"So you know about them, yes sand snake"
How wouldn't I know about them they are very large snakes that spawn near insane quests. This monster has killed a lot of strong players, that is because it changes it's form a lot and for the same reason the core/heart of the snake moves around on it's body.
Juju could be very strong I think I have underestimated her strength.
"Could I ask how did you get your hands on polygon snake skin?"
"A friend of mine lost a bet he was supposed to give me 1 million Z-coins, instead I told him to buy a lucky box and that's it"
I guess she isn't strong? But still 1 million she must be rich.
"It is from gasto steel, it is a bit heavy but you will get used to it with time"
(A C- ranked ore)
"Gasto s-steel?"
Gasto isn't something to be impresed about but it is just too much, compared to what equipment I should have as a new player.
"Why are you more surprised about the gasto steel than the polygon snake skin?"
"Sorry it is just too overkill that's why, but why give it to me though and not someone else?"
"Well my friends don't have time to adventure and need to make money somehow else rather than trying to do quests, they, like me opened businesses, so it would just be a waste"
If what she is saying is true that means she must have a lot of connections.
"Well, I wont take more of your time so thank you very much"
"It's nothing, oh and don't forget the new employee I hired is coming tomorrow"
"Yes I didn't forget don't worry, bye"
"See ya tomorrow seven"

As soon as I left the bookstore my mind was immediately drawn to using the dagger.
