Leon let out a quiet breath, leaning back slightly as he gave up trying to force the mory back.
’I wonder if this is gonna happen every ti I sleep,’ he thought, his expression returning to normal as he pushed the thought aside for now, ’Oh well.’
There was no point in stressing over sothing he couldn’t control, especially when it clearly wasn’t sothing normal.
Still, he made sure to keep it in mind. This wasn’t a coincidence.
And if it kept happening, then sooner or later, he would figure out what it ant.
Maybe one day he would finally beco "worthy." Or at least, that was what he hoped.
Because sothing like the [Ascension Altar] wasn’t aningless, if even the [Heavenly One] put importance into it.
And whatever the [Heavenly One] wanted from him, it definitely wasn’t sothing small.
Turning his head slightly, Leon’s gaze shifted to the side, and that’s when he noticed Celeste sleeping right beside him, completely peaceful and unaware of everything that had just happened.
Her crimson hair was tied into twin ponytails, and at the tips of each strand, small flas flickered gently, moving naturally as if they were alive, yet without burning anything around them.
It looked calm. Almost harmless. But Leon knew better.
Anyone without fire resistance or high constitution who tried to touch her hair would end up suffering badly, and now that her fla affinity had been enhanced, that danger had only increased even further.
"She got tired," Emilia said with a soft smile as she followed Leon’s gaze, "So I let her rest, luckily nothing tried to attack us."
"I guess the [Awakener Lord] sent what he wanted anyway," Leon replied with a quiet sigh, "Now he’s waiting for us to get to the [Advanced District]."
At the sa ti, Leon raised his hand slightly and opened the [Trading House] panel without hesitation, already expecting what he was about to see.
"Bingo," he said with a grin as soon as the panel appeared.
Everything was sold.
Every single item he had listed the day before was gone, and almost imdiately, notifications began flooding his vision one after another.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
[Your S-Level "Ultimate Fla Control" sub-talent was sold for 3,500,000 Eternal Coins.]
[Your "Pyroman Ape Fur 4 (Rare)" was sold for 25,000 Eternal Coins.]
[Your "Hell Bat (Legendary)" was sold for 70,000 Eternal Coins.]
[Your....]
The list kept going, and Leon read each notification one by one, his grin slowly growing wider with every new sale that appeared in front of him.
"Increasing the prices was the right play," he muttered, clearly satisfied with the outco, "I still managed to sell everything."
By the ti the notifications stopped, the final number appeared clearly.
[ 13,065,000 Eternal Coins]
And when that was added to what he already had...
[Eternal Coins: 18,481,470]
Leon let out a low breath as he looked at the total.
That amount wasn’t just high. It was ridiculous. At this point, he was basically as rich as a noble.
"Well," Leon said with a small grin, "We could even buy a house and relax if we wanted at this point."
The thought crossed his mind for a mont.
But it didn’t stay. Not even for long. Because that wasn’t why he was here.
He had no intention of slowing down. Not when things were just starting to get interesting.
He had reached his [Eternal Coins] goal. Which ant only one thing.
"Ti to head to the [Market]."
Celeste was still asleep, so Leon didn’t bother waking her up and simply turned toward Emilia instead.
"Keep an eye on her for now."
"Alright," Emilia nodded with a gentle smile, "Co back safely."
With that, Leon opened the [World Map] and tapped on the icon representing the [Awakener Association].
Ding!
[Do you wish to teleport to "Awakener Association"?]
"Yes!"
The mont he confird it, his body turned into particles and disappeared instantly.
"Oh shit?" Emilia stepped back slightly, clearly surprised as she watched him vanish right in front of her, "Seeing it happen before you may be weirder than experiencing it..."
...
anwhile, Leon appeared inside the [Awakener Association] without wasting any ti and imdiately began heading toward the [Market] section with a clear objective in mind.
But the mont he stepped inside—
"CELESTIAL!"
"He’s here!"
"I knew he would co, he’s been selling items like crazy!"
Voices erupted all around him as multiple players imdiately recognized him and reacted at the sa ti, their attention locking onto him as if he was so kind of celebrity.
So of them didn’t hesitate and started moving toward him, clearly trying to approach him for whatever reason they had in mind.
But Leon didn’t care. The mont he noticed them—
Fwoosh!
He dashed forward instantly, moving at high speed straight toward the B-Rank section of the [Market] without even looking back.
A few players tried to chase him, activating their skills and pushing themselves as much as they could just to keep up.
But then—
BAM!
They all slamd into the transparent barrier of the B-Rank hall.
They were instantly stopped, and a panel appeared in front of them.
[Please improve your rank first. Any further attempts will result in "punishnt"]
Most of them clenched their teeth and stopped right there, realizing that there was nothing they could do.
They simply couldn’t follow him. But one of them stepped forward anyway.
"You think a wall can stop ?" he said with a confident grin.
He was level 75 with a [Combat Power] of 400,000, which was above average.
He took a deep breath, gathered montum, and rushed forward as crimson energy erupted around him, boosting his power and speed.
BOOM!
He slamd into the barrier and was instantly sent flying back.
But this ti—
Beep!
[Punishnt will be administrated, please do not try again.]
ZAP!
A bolt of lightning struck him imdiately, his body locking up for a mont before he collapsed unconscious on the ground.
The players around him stepped back instantly, their expressions changing as they saw what had just happened.
Silence spread. As for Leon, he only glanced back briefly.
’I guess I know what the punishnt is now at least, the [Awakener Lord] doesn’t kid around.’
With that thought, he turned forward again, completely uninterested as he continued walking deeper into the B-Rank section of the [Market], his focus already shifting toward the items he ca here to get.
And without slowing down, Leon stepped fully into the B-Rank Market.
