Chapter 17 - 016 Meet Again

Chapter 17: 016 Meet Again Shane wandered around Lamijion until dusk. Thanks to this, Shane learned many things. For example, in this world, the common currency was gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins, not much different from many otherworlds of swords and magic. A single copper coin had the purchasing power of buying an apple, a hundred copper coins equaled a silver coin, and a hundred silver coins equaled a gold coin, making the value of a gold coin equivalent to that of ten thousand copper coins. Therefore, generally speaking, one gold coin was enough for an ordinary family of three to live on for a whole month and still have some left over. Of course, for ordinary families, having a gold coin was considered good, but that wasn't necessarily the case for adventurers and nobles. Because in this world, common items might not be worth much, but items related to magic were extremely expensive. For instance, in this world, there were magic potions that could take effect immediately and have magical effects that were diverse and miraculous, different from regular medicines that needed time to act and had less noticeable effects. Shane visited a store selling magic potions and discovered that even the cheapest life recovery potion required three gold coins for a single bottle, and magic recovery potions needed over five gold coins, prices that were extremely high. However, using such magic potions could rapidly restore injuries or magic power to a visibly noticeable extent, making the effect very apparent. So, in emergencies, having such a bottle of magic potion was practically equivalent to an extra life. And only those with the "Harmony" Skill could create magic potions, so the price of magic potions couldn't possibly be low. Besides magic potions, there were also items in this world that had magical effects. These were things one could use to unleash the magic embedded within even without knowing how to use magic, granted only those with the "Creation" Skill could manufacture them, hence making them equally expensive. Naturally, there were magic weapons if there were magic tools. As the name implied, these were weapons capable of releasing combat-beneficial magic and all sorts of magical effects. They were weapons anyone could use, just like magic tools, only they were more expensive, and only those with the "Forging" Skill could create them. Such magical items could be said to be features of this world, making Shane dazzled and filled with curiosity. Having made his first earnings in this otherworld, Shane immediately bought clothes, replaced his tattered outfit, and successfully found an inn, staying at the price of one silver coin per day. After a full ten days, Shane finally managed to stay in a place where humans should dwell. After checking in, Shane first took a long and thorough bath. During his time in the forest, Shane had only bathed a few times in the river, where there were also magical creatures. ... The night fell quietly like this. "That feels so comfortable." Lying on the bed after a bath, Shane's body still carried steamy warmth, and his face was brimming with refreshment, clearly indicating how at ease he felt. "Ah, I feel like all the day's worries have vanished. As expected, I'm more suited to this kind of peaceful life." Just as Shane expressed these feelings, a chuckle reached his ears. "You are the first Hero to say such a thing." With that voice, the world began to twist. Then, before Shane realized what had happened, he found himself standing on the floor, having risen from the bed, and the inn room seemed to have been replaced, turning into a temple. In the center of the temple, before Shane, a familiar breathtaking silhouette appeared in his view. "Goddess!?" Shane's eyes widened. Yes. Shane had returned to the temple where he had first been summoned once more. Enhance your reading experience by removing ads: Remove Ads Now
