Day 2 – The Moving Town of Ssles

Night Watch: A False Alarm

I gripped the broom like a weapon, ready to face off against the rats.

The scratching noises in the backroom had woken me up instantly.

> "This time, I'll catch you…"

I moved slowly, careful not to make any noise. When I peeked into the storage room, I saw them—rats scurrying around the fabric rolls.

But something was off.

The red aura from last night was gone.

These were just… normal rats.

> Me: "You've got to be kidding me."

I expected cursed, disappearing rats, but instead, I got ordinary pests looking for food.

With an annoyed sigh, I swung the broom and chased them out of the store.

> Me: "I lost sleep over these idiots?!"

Frustrated but too tired to care, I collapsed onto the wooden bench and dozed off.

Morning: Nina's Wake-Up Call

A loud thump snapped me awake.

I groggily opened my eyes to see Nina standing over me, arms crossed.

> Nina: "So my 'guard' just decided to take a nap instead?"

> Me: "Wha—no! I fought the rats! They were just… normal."

> Nina: "Uh-huh."

> Me: "…I swear they were cursed two night ago."

She just rolled her eyes and tossed a small pouch onto the table.

I sighed and took the 2 CP, still bitter about my 1000 CP auction going insane online.

> Me: "So… what's my next job?"

> Nina: "I need Clacton silk."

That woke me up instantly.

> Me: "Clacton silk? That's from the rare beast Clacton! You can only buy that in Loner Town—which is far from here!"

Nina gave me a smug look.

> Nina: "Not if you go to Ssles."

I blinked.

> Me: "The what?"

> Nina: "Ssles. It's a moving town."

> Me: "A… moving town?"

> Nina: "Yeah, it appears in different places. Today, it's coming here."

I froze.

In all my beta testing knowledge, I had never heard of Ssles.

A moving town? That wasn't in the official game information.

Was this another beta-only feature?

> Me (internally): "If I start talking about this online, people will lose their minds…"

The New Quest: Journey to Ssles

A quest window popped up.

✔ Locate the moving town.

✔ Buy the silk before it disappears.

Reward: 5 CP

5 CP?!

That was way more than my usual 2 CP pay.

> Me: "So… where is Ssles supposed to appear?"

Nina pointed at a house near the market.

> Nina: "Go there. Someone will tell you when it arrives."

I still couldn't believe it. A moving town? No official player records had ever mentioned Ssles.

This was definitely a beta feature.

And that meant… a huge opportunity.

> Me (smirking): "Jackpot."
