Extra Pages: The Author's Odyssey

We talked about Elera Moonshadow for another 20 minutes.

I don't know much about Elera Moonshadow either, in the novel I had just mentioned that she was the best Archer of her time.

That's the basic knowledge I have of her.

So hearing all her deeds from Sia is making me think that I was so thoughtless when I was right about her.

'I should have added more of her.'

Anyway, there are still the issues of Moonshadow Bow.

I like that Bow a lot. If not for Moonshadow Bow we would have been dead by that Fallen human.

Plus this Moonshadow bow is an artifact.

Oh, I didn't tell you about which rank of artefact is the Moonshadow bow.

Well, let me tell you.

In the novel, there are Normal, Epic, Unique, Rare, Legendary, Divine and Mythical.

To make it easy to understand this I add ranks in them like Normal---> D rank.

So Muthical---> SSS rank.

So it goes like this From D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS.

D is the lowest while SSS is the highest level.

Anyway, now I think you understand it. Let's get to the main point.

"I want to keep Moonshadow bow," I said to her who was now quietly sipping her coffee.

-CLANK

She lowers the coffee on the table and looks at me.

"Cadet Lucas you do know that Moonshadow Bow is a legendary artifact."

She said with dangerous seriousness in her voice.

"I know that."

"And you also can't use the full potential of

Moonshadow now because use your rank."

"I know that but I'm going to be strong in the future."

I said with determination in my voice.

Slowly a small smirk came to her lips. Oh, this is going the wrong way.

"you can have Moonshadow I will just tell higher up that is destroyed during the fight. "

"Thank you for" Before I thanked her she said something else that shook me.

"But you have to follow my three orders sorry I mean I will have favour on you three times."

I heard her saying order, but I'm in no position to argue with her.

If I said something and that irked her forget about Moonshadow bow I would be thrown in prison.

"Fine," I said, as I control my anger. I have to leave here right now.

"Haha, that's more like it," she said and laughed at my expression.

"I'll be off. There's a lot I need to do. It's almost time for unit exams, you see."

"Yeah, you can go now but don't worry forget our deal," she said with a smile on her face

I got up before Sia. Her eyes chased after me.

I quickly left the coffee shop.

What Sia was thinking now was none of my business.

1 P.M.

The reward money had arrived by the time I came back to the dorm. It was a clean 10 million Credit, unaffected by taxes. It was clear what I had to do with it.

A wide smile appears on my face.

'with this much money, most of the problems are solved.'

And I'm going make this money grow, how can I do that?

By purchasing stock. It wasn't a hopeful wish, but a necessity.

There are many other ways besides stock.

But let's talk about the stocks.

First, the stock market. Dungeons were constantly being created in the world. I knew the names of guilds that would discover or conquer them. Guilds in this world were treated like companies, so one could buy stocks of public guilds from the guild stock market.

Today was March 10th, 2030. It's already been one month since I enrolled in the Nova Academy.

Anyway, let's see what stock I can buy.

I opened the computer in my room and searched 'the guild stock market.'

Maybe I forgot to mention but there is a PC in my room, I mean not my room-specific everyone has one.

In a few seconds, a page of the guild stock market came.

[March 15th, 2030. Newly found guild, 'The glory goes public.]

In reality, The Glory Guild was established by a student who is now graduating from Nova this year. With his friend, he founded The Glory Guild.

they would play an important role in the story, I made sure to remember them.

After establishing the guild they Conquered Mezz dungeon which is an A-rank dungeon. Because they are new and they have Conquer A rank dungeon their stock prices are by a 1000%.

[December 8th, 2030. Guild, 'Eldoria Grace,' announces its plan to conquer's rank dungeon, The dungeon of dead.']

This incident would become the lowest point for the currently ranked 2 Eldoria Grace. It was also the decisive event that made Sia become its leader. This plan, which Sia opposed, would bring their rank down to 7.

I had two opportunities to make money with this incident.

The first was before the plan was announced, and the second was before the plan failed.

Without having to know much information, with just these two — though, these two were the only early financial incidents written down in the settings book — I could make a fortune.

"The problem is... Which stock should I buy?

I can buy both of them but then I won't have money for living expenses.

Anyway, I think I should buy The Glory Guild Stocks.

Without hesitation, I purchased Packhorse Master's stocks. With over 110,000 stocks, I was likely a majority shareholder.

Late night, Sunday.

Adrian was working out at the Training ground. Adrian was a regular visitor to the training ground, but today's scenery was different than what it was at the beginning of the month. Today, the training was booming with cadets. It was undoubtedly because the unit exams were coming up.

"Kuu."

After finishing a set, Adrian looked around the place while resting.

"Are you checking out girls?"

At that moment, a sudden coldness touched his face. Adrian pulled his head back in surprise. There was only one person who would play such a prank on him. Adrian glared at him. Noah shrugged and handed him a drink.

"No, I'm not and thanks for the drink."

"Sure."

He shrugged his shoulders like it was nothing new.

"Anyway do you know why Emma Bing... How should I put this?"

"Annoying mood." Kevin completed it for him.

"Yeah, that's right."

Noah nodes his head at Kevin's words.

"you are right Noah, she seems to be moody for some time."

Kevin said as he recalled Emma's sudden change of behaviour.

She's been like this since Lybraith's dungeon. She has been training harder since then and she lately become angry for no reason.

"Hua"

The strange breathing sound came from a man with fitness equipment. However, the weight on the equipment was a normal amount by any cadet's standard.

If you look at how long his doing it he could be considered doing better than another student.

But the problem is...

"Why is he lifting that weight doesn't Lucas still at G+ rank?"

Indeed the student they are seeing is a Lucas.

After purchasing the stock of The Glory Guild he slept the whole afternoon and evening and after waking up he came to the training ground.

"At least he's doing it for a long time."

Adrian replied briefly. Trying to defend Lucas who was still focused on his fitness workout.

"Anyway, let's forget about him we were talking about Emma right? Ah look there's Emma"

Emma came out of the gravitation room at just the right moment. Covered in sweat, she was slightly staggering with an exhausted face.

It looked like she was planning on heading straight back, but when she saw Lucas, she stopped and began to stare at him.

Two laser beams shot out of her eyes.

"...What's she doing?"

"I don't know either."

Adrian said to Noah. He was also confused by Emma's behaviour nowadays.

"Tsk."

After staring at Lucas for a while, Emma clicked her tongue and turned back. At the same time, her eyes met Adrian. She let out a dry cough as though she was embarrassed and walked towards them.

"Did you see that"

"See what you starting at Lucas."

Noah replies to Emma.

"Shut up Noah before I poke an arrow in the eyes."

Noah flinch back at that.

"whoa came down Emma, no need to be this angry."

Right when Emma going to say something to Noah again, three male Students approached Lucas. Adrian instinctively frowned. Those three were well-known delinquents.

"Hey, what are you doing here, loser?"

They nudged Lucas, but he didn't react in any way. Without giving them a single glance, he focused on working out.

"Hey, are you mute? Say something."

"Let's take pictures of this son of a bitch and post it. Look at him, working all hard when he's a complete waste."

Aggravated, the three delinquents began to curse openly. Why live; you're a waste of money; etc...

"...Hey, I'm leaving."

Watching this scene, Emma left the scene looking uncomfortable.

Adrian could not hold back but Noah blocked his path and dragged him away from their.
