Following their return from their trip, Milo had gotten even more experience fighting back the beasts of the dimensional doors, even if it hadn't been planned. After the rift incident, Milo had obtained a total of five more essence cores. One uncommon tier and four common tier, after getting some privacy and pulling them from his inventory, Milo selected the absorb option, raising his magic power stat by another seven points bringing the grand total to 30. After absorbing the cores, Milo opened his status screen to check out his growth.

Milo's ability slots had now expanded to six after getting his magic power stat to 30. He still only had four abilities copied as he hadn't found any abilities he wanted to add to his arsenal since Zach's ability. After checking his stats, Chris asked Milo if he wanted to go shopping. Milo was feeling bored so he agreed and the two made their way into the city.

While walking through the city streets, Milo and Chris entered an equipment shop. Milo still had a lot of credits saved up from his in field experience and was interested in getting some gear. By buying some gear he could also then go into his shop to see if there is anything worth purchasing, as he could say he bought it in the city.

While looking through the rows of different equipment, he found a pair of unique ranked gauntlets that had a cool looking skill attached. When opening the inspect screen it said:

[Midnight Chained Gauntlets(Unique)]

Durability: 350

Armor Rating: 200

Str +8

Con +3

Attached Skill: Bind - When activated while using a physical attack it binds the target in place for 3 seconds(Cooldown 20:00)

Description: A pair of black gauntlets that appear to have chains wrapped around the forearms. The chains appear to have a use but are strictly for decoration.

Seeing them, Milo thought what adding them to his arsenal would add, not only would the attached skill be extremely helpful. But the idea of adding another item with a chain theme seemed to fit with his weapon of choice, as well as the different appearances of the system's abilities, which all involved chains so far.

The price also wasn't too steep at 1,200 credits which was pretty reasonable for unique ranked gear. Trying them on, Milo wanted to try the attached skill but it probably wouldn't go over well with the shop owner. While testing how they fit, a new group of shoppers entered the store.

"I saw these gauntlets the other day with a binding skill, I hope they still have them for sale," the man said to the woman next to him.

After trying them on, Milo caved and decided to buy the gauntlets he had found. He picked them up and went up to the counter where one would pay as the shopkeeper came out from the back room. As he did so, the man who entered after them made his way to the counter and asked the shop's owner if the chained gauntlets were still available. That was when he noticed that Milo had them and was about to purchase them.

"Sorry," the shopkeeper said, "This young man brought them up first so he's got first dibs."

Hearing this the man gritted his teeth, "all good," he said before turning around. The man was visually frustrated as he left the store, and Milo went through with the purchase. He also chose to invest in a dimensional storage earring as well. Dimensional storage items were common with gatecrashers as it was like carrying a large trunk that was the size of an accessory. The main reason Milo chose to purchase this was due to the suspicions people might get if he pulled things from his inventory without it. By having the ear ring, it would allow him to have an excuse in case anyone caught him using his inventory, while also allowing him to organize his items more effectively.

Milo had a total of 2,000 credits to his name, his total for the purchase was 1,800. Overall, Milo felt this was a small sacrifice to pay to get stronger. After the purchase was complete, Milo and Chris left the shop and went off to a restaurant to get food.

Milo had started to use his telepath ability when he was out and about as it could allow him to read the thoughts of those around him, and while walking to the restaurant, Milo could hear the thoughts of someone focused on him. Milo then scanned around him and noticed the man from the equipment store tailing him and Chris.

Milo then used the inspect skill and got a system message:
