The Boundless Necromancer

ind out the higher I climbed the tower.

‘But that’s that.’

I cut myself off and closed my eyes.

I had to force myself to get some well-deserved mental rest.

‘It’ll be a while since I’ll get this again…’

My senses slowly drifted away as my muscles relaxed.

I initially worried about not being able to sleep, but it was all for naught.  

It was my first deep sleep in a long long time.

***

Vrrr, vrrr.

My eyes opened wide as I felt a vibration next to my head.

I blindly grasped for my phone a couple of times until I finally found it.

I fought the gravity of the comfy bed and got myself to sit up.

And—

「 11:30 AM 」 

“…Huh?”

I stared into my screen, confused.

‘If this it’s 11:30 in the morning…’

It was around 8 pm when I went to sleep, so I slept for almost 15 hours.

“Damn, I slept for that long?”

The longest I slept before the tower was around 8 hours.

“I guess I was more tired than I thought…”

Crack!

I stood up and gave all my muscles a good stretch.

‘I guess all that’s left to do is get rid of these items.’

Seeing the items neatly arranged on the floor gave me a bittersweet feeling.

It wasn’t a long time, but some of these items saved my life.

The sentimental value would be lost if I sold them but…

‘That’s not a good enough reason to not sell these.’

 They could lose all of their value once an influx of items came in from new returners.

I put all the items in a bag and put on a hoodie and jeans to look inconspicuous.

Since this was a neighborhood designated for players, everything from the hunter association to the whole economy was related to hunters.

I didn’t need to waste much time getting to the hunter market.

I was never qualified to be in here before but—

「 Please show your hunter license.
」 

「 Hunter Han Sungyeun, confirmed.
」 

Not anymore.

‘Wow, hunters sure have it nice with all this space.’

I entered the lobby of the gigantic building, which must have been at least 10 stories tall.

The hunter market— a large mall where hunters go to buy and sell items.

There were stalls dedicated to repairing and strengthening equipment, and also places that just displayed a myriad of weapons.

Of course…

‘None of them are that good.’

The gallery was just filled with F to D-grade trash.

I walked past, as I had no use for it.

“Welcome, sir.”

I stepped into the item sale office and a young woman approached me.

“What items are you looking to sell today?”

“Hm, just a shield and a dagger I happened upon.”

“A shield and a dagger, two items.
The grades are…”

“One D and one E.”

“Oh, that’s quite high.”

“I got kind of lucky.”

She didn’t ask me for any further details.

“Okay.
Can you show us the items here?”

I walked to the nearby table and displayed the contents of my bag.

The obsidian dagger and the deadwood shield.

The woman widened her eyes with surprise as I took them out.

“This kind of quality… you really want to sell these?”

It was as if she couldn’t believe it.

“Yeah, I don’t think I’ll have any more use for it.”

“…Ah, you were a high ranker.”

She nodded at her insight while I opted to stay silent.

It wasn’t accurate, but I had no intentions of correcting her.

“Hm, I’m estimating that the dagger would sell for $65,000 and the shield $100,000.”

Shocked, I could barely ask my question.

“…Don’t E-grade items usually go for like $40,000? The shield would also be worth like $55.000.”

“No, not all of them.
These are both high-quality items.”

The woman shook her head at the tidbit of knowledge I had.

“They both have more effects than I thought and more qualities that aren’t marked by the system.”

“What do you mean by qualities that aren’t marked by the system?”

“Just like the ingredient the dagger is made of and the origins of this shield.”

‘They must have seen some value in the explanation about the black steel and that the shield was made for a berserker.’

That completely went over my head.

I didn’t really have any experience in this area, so I felt a little lacking.

‘I should have done some research beforehand.’

The woman continued to talk.

“If you want, you can go ask other sales offices.”

“…It’s fine.
I’ll just take care of it here.”

There’s no real reason for me to go to a different office.

Unlike normal, markets where anyone can come and go, hunter markets were very restricted.
Most trades were based on trust.

There was no need to make unnecessary enemies.

‘Especially if they’ve mistaken you as a high ranker.’

No market in the world would try to grift a high ranker.

“Just write down your banking information.
We’ll wire you the money immediately.”

My phone buzzed as soon as I gave them the info.

「 $165,000 has been deposited into your account.
」 

「 Balance – $172,380 」 

The bank notified me of my new balance.

The reality set in and my heart fluttered. 

‘…I finally feel like a real hunter.’

I was positive.

It was the right choice to use my precious points on this trip.
