Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

Everyone gathered up around me with eager looks over their faces. I smiled and even laughed over their reactions, which weren't groundless, as I knew how big we won this time.

From the 500 drops we got, nearly 400 were materials for forging and the rest were pieces of equipment, so I have now over 30 finished pieces in my hand, and I have more than 40 unfinished one yet.

I was sure that more waves like this and we could get more 40 pieces of equipment. I started to expose my goods like an experienced merchant:

"The first item I will offer today is this staff, it's great staff that works fine with magic based classes. So, who wants it?"

I looked directly towards Mony and Heda, as the first was a healer and the later was a wizard, so both could use this staff for sure.

As I expected, the two looks changed at once when I finished my words, who wouldn't want to have such a strong staff anyway? I added as they were already drooling over the staff:

"And here goes another staff that suits that magic class, so what do you think?"

Everyone looked to me in weird way as Shin asked with doubt:

"Do we have more than finished items here?"

"Yes, we have really won it big this time. I have more than 25 pieces of equipment that suit us all. So, who will take this cragen staff and who will take this dragon staff?"

Heda and Mony exchanged silent glances then Heda said:

"Give them to us and we will discuss it between ourselves to determine which is better for each of us."

I complied as I gave them the two staffs while saying:contemporary romance

"That works too, but if so then you need also to discuss who will get one of these two armors."

I said that while taking two different shaped thin armors from my inventory and gave the two to them. While the two were stupefied in front of these two armors, I added:

"And I have these two gloves that suit the magic based classes, so you should also discuss who would take which."

Heda and Mony received the two gloves with gaped mouths, in fact they weren't alone as the rest of my team were also like that. I giggled while saying:

"Anyone else want to get some merchandise from me? I only gave out six items and I still have 19 more left."

Grendy rushed out as he nearly screamed from excitation:

"Yes, yes, give me all the defenders equipment, no one here is a defender after all."

I laughed as I replied:

"Yes, you are the luckiest one here, after all the equipment I got for defenders are a lot. Here, take these 12 items and have fun. Don't forget, you can't wear them now, as the lowest level required is 10."

Grendy took all the items I took out as he said in gratitude:

"Thanks, thanks a lot, but I can now wear them as I'm already at level 10."

His answer hit me as I was oblivious to this, if Grendy, who was way lower than me in the ranks, got to level 10, then what about myself? I opened my personal profile at once and checked the level at it.

'Level: 11.'

I double checked it before I looked to Shin who said with a big laugh:

"You were deeply immersed in checking the loot, so you didn't check your notifications for sure. Yes, you got 2 levels in just this battle alone. After all, the number we killed was really big."

It hit me without any warning, as I lost myself in checking the loot and forgot totally to check all the long notifications that I had.

I received more than 150 notifications from the battle, so I didn't care to check them as I knew they were about killing these monsters, but I didn't know they were related also to my level upgrade.

That accidental discovery was good news for me, as if all of us had already crossed the 10 level mark, then we could move from here now.

"Then why are we staying here? Let's move and leave this place, I'm already tired from this weird dungeon."

Shin replied with sorry look:

"We can't, as we tried to use our town scrolls in vain. This dungeon is a closed space, so the only way out from here is through completing it."

"Or we can just die and lose one level after we all reach level 11, this way we still could leave the town."

Shin shook his head rejecting my idea as he explained:

"We can't risk it, after all gaining one level from now on will be a tedious task. We can't just throw away a level simply like that; in addition we need to continue hunting here. Not all of us managed to get what he dreamed of."

Shin was right, although I didn't know how hard it was to gain a level from now on, but he was the expert here, and I trusted his judgment.

Also, there are more than 40 pieces of equipment that needed missing parts, so it was worth fighting here; especially we now knew the trick behind this dungeon.

The only variable remaining was the two boss monsters, which I hoped they wouldn't be this hard to kill.

As the decision was made on this point, and no one joined this little argument, I continued my previous merchant career as I said loudly:

"What remained now is seven pieces of equipment, one for me and six for swordsmen. Who wants to get what? C'mon, say your bets out loud."

I was immersed in playing the role of an old merchant I met before in my previous life at my kingdom, who was responsible for running a small auction to the royal family, which included me of course.

Just as I finished, I realized I overreacted a little bit, as all of them looked at me strangely at first then laughed.

"C'mon, tell me, who are you really? Where did our little sweet princess go?"

Shin tried to tease me as usual but I just ignored him as I took out all the six pieces in silence and gave them all.

Although there were two pieces that I could personally use, as they were only restricted for melee classes, I had set my eyes upon another two spearman specialized equipment in my inventory.

So, I was generous to give them these two for now, and I kept the long awesome looking spear to me. This spear was like a national treasure for me right now, it was so long, with a thick rounded smooth shaft and a very sharp edge.

Although it seemed heavy, when I took it out from my inventory to check it, I was surprised by how light it was. I held it with my right hand as I looked so heroic and strong.

The previous vision of myself had changed drastically when I wielded it, were items in this game world supposed to change one's perspective about themselves? That was a new discovery for me.
