Primordial Dimensions

Chapter 19 - Taking Advantage Of The System

Sighing in relief, Shane stored the carcasses of the female mountain boar and another adolescent mountain boar, before he noticed that his spatial rings were fully crammed.

'Oh...there was this problem..' Shane lamented, as he entered his lowest-basic shop [NoPainNoGain] and threw the corpses into two of the vacancies.

Laughing inwardly, Shane was happy to have heard of this loophole made by the System.

Every item placed in the shop would vanish from the spatial ring and appear within the vacancy.

Due to the mountain boars being two different ranks, two vacancies were used.

[2x(low-Wild) adolescent [Mountain Boar] [3x(low-Wild) [Mountain Boar] were stored only a minute after the battle was finished and Shane's spatial rings were still empty again.

It was only due to the `stacking` of corpses and items within the exhibition, that Shane was able to do that. The prices he labeled the corpses at, were 1 and 2 silver respectively. It was roughly the price he would gain from the DeepMountain shelter, as the hide, tusks, and meat were useful.

If someone would purchase the corpses from his shop, why not? And if nobody purchased them, Shane didn't mind taking them out later to sell them to a butcher or at the [Beast Paradise] that bought all beasts for slightly below the average price.

Unfortunately, items that were placed within the store, couldn't be sent over a long distance through the system once again, like Shane wanted to do with the Nightshade flowers.

Storing the Nightshade flowers within the store and sending them later in batches to the Corvi race was not possible, because the system set a trading ban on the items placed within the store.

This was also the cause why Shane had to purchase the five cubic meters spatial ring.

He had to store the Nightshade flowers within his spatial ring to send them to the Corvi race through the system without using the store.

One could say that it was unfortunate but Shane had to purchase a spatial ring either way. His one cubic meter spatial ring couldn't store beasts like the mountain boar, due to their length exceeding slightly over a meter.

As such his five golds weren't wasted and the only thing he had to reconsider was to gain a fortune due to his high investment into the spatial ring.

There was still a vacancy left inside his store, but he wanted to leave it open for the possibility of encountering a mid-low mountain boar and selling its carcass.

Shane decided to go further into the forest because the blood spilled by his small slaughter would most likely attract a few beasts.

While walking around, Shane asked himself how many `berserk` beasts he had to kill, before he would gain the title he aspired to have.

It was said to be one of the easiest accessible titles. There were still more than enough humans that didn't have a single title, even after years, which was probably caused by their laziness.

Titles could bring different advantages and effects, but they were useful in almost all cases.

Except for a few titles, that caused humanity to see some humans in an unfavorable light.

[Species-slaughterer] for example was the title of someone who massacred his own race...

A certain mass murderer that his father had killed, had the title which gave him a huge enhancement in strength. It caused his skill to be enveloped in a dense blood aura which increased his lethal power by a large margin.

Even though his father was on a higher stage, it was said that this man could almost fight on par with him.

There were still a few more reasons why that was possible, like certain skills that he could have received from a hostile race, but the main factor was the title.

Since Shane found that out, he had started to research titles. The easiest achievable was apparently [Berserk-Hunter], but within the thread, there was not much helpful information.

As such, Shane searched around for more mountain boars as their group always had a female boar within them.

Deciding to kill the female boar, at last, made him feel cruel, but becoming stronger was more important to him than being merciful.

'If dad would hear my words, would he be proud?' Shane thought as he remembered the disgust in his father's eyes when he had denied killing other living beings at the tender age of 8 years.

Thinking about his life, Shane wasn't sure what exactly he should do about his father... Was he loved or raised up to become a killing machine? Shane didn't know for sure but the last ray of hope was his first life.

He held onto that feeble ray of hope and decided that he wasn't going to end up like the killing machine his father wanted him to be. With a few exceptions, he would decide what he wanted to be, without anyone manipulating him.

Shane would rather end everything with a treaty, to let all races end up with a win-win situation. Only if every effort is wasted without a different outcome, Shane would want to fight.

But considering other beasts, he didn't see them as anything else except as a means to hone his skills and earn money.

Not much time had passed until Shane had found his next prey and there was only a small group with a single family consisting of mother boar, adolescent mountain boar, and a male boar.

Sneaking up to them, Shane killed the matured male without much effort. Though he had successfully evaded the female mountain boar's charge with nimble steps, the adolescent mountain boar also rushed at him.

This was, however, much better for Shane, as he thrust his dagger into the sides of the charging adolescent mountain boar until it crashed into its mother, where it died after letting out a painful squeak.

Hearing its offspring utter the horrendous squeal at its dying breath, made the mountain boar's hair stiffen. Its eyes turned bloodshot red and were filled with deep hatred that was targeted against the being that had destroyed its whole life in an instant.

The mountain boar couldn't see Shane as it turned around, searching for him. It looked up, just in time to notice the being that had killed its offspring pounce on its back.

The boar was taken aback by the surprise attack and before it could react, the dagger had slashed through its neck.

Shane adjusted his position immediately after he gravely injured the adolescent mountain boar.

He wanted to wait until the mother boar finished her transformation into the berserk mode, but it happened faster than expected.

This caused him to push himself from a nearby tree while circulating some mana into his lower body.

Thanks to his already high physique and the circulation of mana, he pushed himself two meters above the ground, where the boar couldn't see him.

As he thrust the dagger in its neck, the mountain boar's life essence vanished after its whole body shook vigorously, as if it couldn't accept its defeat.

Having killed two berserk beasts, Shane began to wonder how many of them he had to enrage until he would receive the title.

Throwing the additional corpses into his store, Shane noticed that not a single one had been sold. It was not that uncommon, as his store was way too small for anyone to notice and the quantity he provided was not enough.

Without reputation, Shane would never receive anything, with the exception of desperate races like the Corvi race. They probably employed hundreds of merchants to search for all kinds of darkness transmuting items all over the Primordial Shops.

Shane was probably only one of a few thousand to receive a bootlicking message from the Corvi merchant.

However, Shane thought that not many had probably the same luck as he had when he tricked the merchant's assistant.

He estimated that she was relatively new to her job and not that proficient with the system's regulations, which caused her to make such an amateur mistake.

Even though the system was rather crude with its prices, he couldn't say anything bad about it, except that one had to rely on it to grow stronger and survive.

Its regulations were mostly fair and until now, Shane had never heard about an unfair treatment given to humans or other races, by the system.

There may be some, but the loophole in the system played into Shane's hands, and as such, there was no reason for him to decline it.
