My Vampire System novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 The Marketplace

Quinn started to think about the question Leo had given him. It was clear that he knew something about him through his ability, and it was why he had asked the question in the first place. But rather than out him to his higher-ups, or try to deal with him himself. He was asking a simple question.

’If I answer this wrong, will he attack me? Or maybe even turn me in?’ Quinn thought.

But judging by what he had said earlier. If Quinn was to lie, he would be able to tell.

Everything about the current human society made Quinn feel sick to his very core. It wasn’t just the government or the military but the originals as well.

When his parents were fighting in the war, why did they choose to reveal themselves towards the end and only then share their powers then? Why did the military design this cast system that put everyone into categories? In a way, he wanted to see the current society fail.

But did he want everyone to die? No. Did he want the Dalki to win the war, no, he didn’t want that either.

Now that he thought about it more, he was in an interesting position. He couldn’t exactly call himself human anymore. If they found out what he was, would they accept him over to their side? Probably not, humans were scared of the unknown.

But two people already had done. Layla and Vorden did know what he was, and didn’t stop speaking to him or treated him any differently.

Quinn knew whats his answer was.

"I’m on my own side but there are people I want to protect on this side too."

For a second Leo just stood there silently. He continually looked at the purple flame burning around Quinn, and then he turned around and walked off without saying a word.

’I guess my answer was okay then.’ Quinn said as he let out a huge puff of air. He felt like any second now he was about to have a nervous breakdown.

"Get yourself a new weapon kid!" Leo shouted, "You’re going to need it for the portal expedition, and my offer still stands. Feel free to have a duel with me whenever you wish."

The combat classes had ended, and Quinn didn’t end up doing much in today’s session. With no equipment of his own, he had to pick something else from the wall. But when he tried using a sword, he realised how much practise you needed before he could even become half-decent at the thing.

Using his fist just felt natural to him, especially since nearly all of his skills required him to use his hands. This meant more than anything that he needed a new set of Gauntlets.

Before leaving the martial hall, he asked to borrow the umbrella Layla had and decided to head to the library for the rest of the afternoon. There he would be able to use the public computers.

On the way there he opened up his system to check on a few things. Firstly, it was his crystal inventory. Right now, he had 16 basic tier crystals, 1 intermediate tier crystal, and 1 advanced tier crystal.

The system shop had a set of Intermediate gauntlets for him, and all he needed for them was three intermediate crystals. There was no requirement of what type. Then there was the advanced tier crystal that could only be used as a ring.

He finally sat down on the computer and went on to the market place. He started his search to see what was the standard price for selling crystals. Right now, the basic tier crystals were useless to him.

Before logging in to access the weapons section of the marketplace, he was to input his military ID number. This wasn’t recorded by the system but just proved that he was allowed to buy and sell weapons.

The marketplace promised to scramble all information once confirmed and entered. If people were able to tell who was selling these items, then it would cause a big problem for the seller.

A standard basic tier crystal could be sold for 100 credits, an intermediate crystal 1000, and an advanced crystal 10,000 credits. Right now, he was sitting on a gold mine. Some crystals sold for more depending on the rarity of them or what they could be turned into.

Next, he started to search for gauntlets, there weren’t as many online compared to other weapons, but there was still plenty to choose from. He noticed that once you moved up from basic tier weapons, the description of each item would be quite significant.

It would tell you what crystal was used to create the weapon suggesting that it might have some other type of attribute other than strength. For example, some might have fire resistance if made from a beast from a hot planet or ice-resistant for one from a cold one.

"Let me give you a tip." The system said, "Place you’re hand on the computer and use your inspect skill while looking at the item."

Quinn did as the system asked and was surprised by the result. Suddenly, he could see the stats of all the weapons that were in front of him.
