Surviving As An Extra In Fantasy World Isn't Easy

Chapter 13 13:Unlocking Shop 2

?"Healing potions."

"That's great. With this, I don't have to worry about buying potions."

Healing potions cost a ton and the price rises astronomically with each grade from thousands to million.

And it also depends on the purity and the alchemist who brews this.

He does not know about the efficiency of the ones that were sold by the system but he could assume that this might be top quality.

Lucas scrolled downwards and suddenly his body froze while his eyes enlarged with shock and disbelief.

[Bloodline]

[Silver Grade]: 70,000

[Gold Grade]: 200,000

[Platinum Grade ]: 1,000,000

[Diamond Grade]: 2,000,000

"I am not seeing things, am I?"

"Tell me this is not an illusion."

"Oooooooohhhh!"

"Ohhh God!"

Lucas screamed in joy and jumped around as if he found a treasure trove.

In this world, it is not wrong to say that the bloodline is a person's lifeline.

It is the measure of a person's potential and the realm he could reach in the future. Society judges people mostly on their bloodline.

The higher the bloodline grade, the nobler the person is considered.

People with Bronze to Silver bloodlines are expected to reach 4-Star and 6-Star respectively.

7-Star for Gold.

8-Star and 9-Star for platinum and Diamond respectively.

Not only that, most people with higher bloodlines are blessed with bloodline abilities that could change the tide of the battle.

Frederick had a Golden bloodline but after getting his bloodline upgraded to Platinum by the unknown ranked spear, he was able to awaken the ability of the Frost Family.

Time Dilation!

An ability to slow down time.

In the book, there is only one way to increase bloodline grades.

That is Elixir made from World Tree sap.

Later, Fredrick got this from Elves and upgraded his bloodline to Diamond which boosted his capabilities.

Bloodline will not make you invincible rather it will only aid you in your journey.

Without hard work, you cannot go anywhere and some people broke past their barriers with low-grade bloodlines so nothing is absolute.

However, upon nearing your potential limit, your progress would become slower

"Man, if I can sell the potions to others that means I can become rich just by sitting."

"I mean just Silver-grade potions might make people go crazy to spend millions and I did not even dare to think about Diamond grade."

"I might even buy a whole estate with a Diamond bloodline. There was not much mention of this but many people have risked their lives to search for a way to upgrade bloodlines only to fail. Though, I am not crazy to sell this and get hunted."

With the advance of science, people found that there is also a genetic factor to it.

Just like tall parents would not necessarily give birth to tall children unless both are pure tall.

Inheritance of bloodlines in a way follows the laws of genetics which is why there were many cases of noble children being born with inferior bloodlines even if their parents had higher bloodlines.

This also led to the practice of so-called incest in the name of maintaining bloodline purity by marrying between branches of the family.

Lucas frowned thinking about it and just shook his head.

"I have way to go before I can buy this. I have 1900 experience points. I should buy skills first."

With this Lucas fell into deep thoughts.

The flash step was great and the increase in speed by a minor realm would not mean much for a 1-Star but it would prove a valuable aspect later.

With this, he can increase his speed from 1-Star to 1-Star+, but if the opponent is one 1-Star+ as in most of the cases in Horizon, it would not help much except by adding an element of surprise.

"I will buy it later. I don't even have experience points for that."

Lucas rejected the earth shield at first glance.

Shields made of rocks could be broken easily.

"People can smash rocks into pieces with thier bare fist even at 1-Star and I don't think I can reinforce it with mana like mages."

"Now it comes to Fireball and Icelance."

"And it's obvious what I am going to choose next."

Lucas gave a self-deprecating laugh as he can't afford IceLance.

Lucas sat down and brought the fireball.

Information started to flood into his brain. Complex yet simple narration transferred into his brain making him a bit dizzy.

Time seems to pass and it felt like hours even if it had been less than a minute.

Lucas gasped heavily and clenched his fist.

Opening his fist, he raised his forefinger trying to think about materializing a small fireball.

Swoosh!

A small yet bright fireball started dancing over his fingers.

There was no discomfort nor the feeling of burns. It felt quite warm which brought a small smile to his lips.

Lucas waved his hand causing the fireball to flicker.

Immersed in happiness, he flicked his finger causing it to fall over the floor and burst with a popping sound burning the carpet fiercely.

"Shit!"

Lucas shrieked in fear and stomped on the floor repeatedly.

After a few attempts, the fire was extinguished leaving behind a charred spot.

"Will the Innkeeper ask me to pay for the damage?"

Lucas sweated profusely and checked his bank balance which amounted to 19000R.

He had 4000R before and Derrick transferred the remaining.

Beads of sweat formed over his forehead.

"Will this amount suffice?"

...

SLING!SLING!SLING!SLING!

A soft sound whistled as a piece of fabric slid against a grey metallic pole.

The Blue haired boy stopped wiping the staff and stared at his reflection on the sparkling staff.

"Here you go. You look new."

[Thanks.]

A voice echoed in his head.

The boy kept the pole at the side and sat silently.

[It's going to start tomorrow.]

"Yeah, it's beginning.

"The beginning of all that."

"Haa..."

A deep sigh escaped from his lips.

"It feels like a dream."

"It feels like yesterday, I was fighting for my life and then out of nowhere I ended up here."

[Was it wise to seal your memories?]

"Yes."

"I don't have a way to break that curse for now."

"If I remember all of those memories, then he could take a glance at my memories due to the curse that transcends time which may bring undesired effects to the future."

"I have survived and taken over all the foes that I have met on my way here so there is no need to rely too much on those memories."

"I only need to remember one thing."

"That is to get stronger."

"Stronger than ever."

[But you also have some precious memories in them.]

He laughed and said, "I can make new memories with them. It's not the memory that is precious, rather their existence which makes the memories special."

"Just like before, we would cross roads with them and meet them once again."

"And when the time comes, we will defy fate together this time."
