I Accidentally Became a Legend!

The Town Hall, one of the most important places for Sapphire players to go to. From finding hidden quests to buying plots of land, practically everything that had to do with the 'town' in general was done here.

Of course, currently, the only reason people came here was to establish guilds or randomly talk to NPCs like idiots while praying for a hidden quest to unlock.

But of course, that's not my reason.

Of course.

Of course, I just feel like saying of course.

Alrighty, let's get back on track.

The reason I came here was to buy a small plot of land, perhaps a nice place where I could go to when I actually made friends. Or if I'm not successful at making friends, a lonely place where I could crouch in the corner crying while lamenting my useless social life every day!

While cursing my older brother for his unnecessarily blessed charismatic personality.

Screw you Kai, blow up and die.

Ah, but Toku will always be with me~

Nevermind, I think he got a friend recently and is staying out with them a lot.

…

I'm forever alone.

Trudging into the lively town hall while wallowing in my own spiral of thoughts, I crawled up to an open counter.

"A-ah, 'scuse me miss, I was wondering if I could buy some land?"

"Of course!"

See, everyone loves saying of course, not just me!

"Would you like a private talk or public one?"

"Private talk, please."

From talking with Abest, I learned to be very polite with NPCs, you never know what could happen.

Separating us from the busy hall with a click of a button, screens rolled down around me and all sound was cut off. Satisfied, she expertly took out a rolled up map, spreading it out on the empty countertop.

"These are the available plots for sale! Please take your time to pick one, the prices are listed here."

Scanning over the detailed map, my eyes drifted to a small piece that was oddly distanced from the city. All the others were bunched up within the walls, while this one was a few miles away, deep in the mountains.

"Miss, what is this land here?" I asked while pointing to the land.

"Ah, an old fortress used to be there. But unfortunately all there is left is a pitiful wooden shack. Thus, the price has dropped to only ten gold coins, do you want to buy it?"

Oh my, I smell a quest and a cheap plot for only ten gold coins! All the other ones located in the city are freakishly expensive, the most expensive one nearing a whopping ten thousand coins!

"Yes! I'll take the deal! Uh, miss."

"Of course! No problem, sign this and then do this to the plot and you're good to go!"

See, she just said of course again, she loves it more than me. What? I'm pointing out random facts? Don't sweat the details, gets you nowhere in life.

I handed her the ten gold coins and got a piece of paper in exchange. I just noticed that I spent quite a lot today huh. I'm down to 88 already!

After successfully purchasing the land, I said goodbye to the counter-girl Hanah and left the building whistling.

"Hmmm, what did she say I had to do again? Go to the place and wave the paper around or something?" I muttered to myself while weaving through the crowd of people.

Taking a sharp turn into an alleyway, I made sure no one was watching and then jumped up onto the roof. Okay, let's go to my nice shack and try it out then!

I quickly left the city and once again became Tarzan, nimbly hopping from branch to branch and briskly made my way deep into the mountains.

Along the way, I managed to kill a few level five monsters and earn myself a few drops. Efficiently raising my coin count back up to 90 before finally arriving at my residence. It was a decently large piece of land, around the size of half of a football field.

Half was covered with trees and there was even a gentle stream running through the middle. I spotted the shack in a small clearing placed right in the middle of the property next to the stream.

This is a shack? Isn't this more like a mini tent?

Opening the wooden door with a loud creak, I stepped into my home. It was small enough that if I stretched out my arms while standing in the middle, my fingers would skim the walls. The ceiling was barely high enough for me to stay standing, and I didn't even have enough space to lie down. The only good news was that it was airtight and sturdy.

No problem! I've studied a bit of woodworking before, I'll get this place expanded to fit my needs in a jiffy.

First of all, I painstakingly took down the back wall, turning it into a large circular room with wood I had gathered from the forest.

From there I cut out some nice windows with my newly bought knife and added curtains made from the pelts of monsters I had hunted. I also used the pelts as carpeting on the floor.

Creating a modern balcony, I extended it into a bridge that went over the stream and led into the woods. I then spiced things up with some decorations and flowers I found surrounding the house. I fashioned my roof into an upside-down cone, in case it rained.

I even went as far as buying an output for electricity for a price of 20 gold. It's all for the sake of design and efficiency. No, not because I want to become a NEET okay? I swear, it's all for the sake of efficiency.

...Maybe I'll add a secret switch that brings up a screen and panel like those spy movies...

I'm not a chuuni either, shut up. Efficiency, all for efficiency, promise.

On the inside of my cozy hut, I added a small fireplace, table, and chairs made of wood and pelts.

In case I had people come over.

If I ever had any of course.

Because I won't be alone forever okay?

I hope.

For fifty gold coins, I also created a mini teleport pad in the center of the room, which allowed me to teleport back from town or with special scrolls.

With my hands on my hips, I looked around my new home, and I saw that it was good.

Ahem.

Well, that took more time then I expected.

Locking the door of the house, I smiled happily.

I've made myself a pretty cozy home! All in all, I think I did pretty good today!

[Congratulations! You are the first player to buy a property and create a player home. You have earned these items.

-50 gold

-1 Achievement

-Title: 'Artisan'

-'Hammer of Creation'

-Luck +10]

Oh! What a nice finishing touch to my glorious masterpiece, and it even paid back the coins I spend on the teleportation pad! How nice.

Opening my inventory I looked at my new title 'Artisan'.

[Artisan

-All NPCs will give you a 5% discount on purchases

-Sales will give you 8% more than usual towards NPCs

-All lifestyle NPCs will respect you

-You can use the 'Hammer of Creation']

Rejoice! For your friendly neighborhood Lynx has now just become more overpowered than ever before!

With high expectations, I checked the stats of the hammer I had been generously given.

[Hammer of Creation

-Only someone with the 'Artisan' title may use this

-Can repair armor and weapons if materials are used

-Boosts success rates of crafting]

Oh lookie at that, I just got myself a portable repair kit. How handy. Although I doubt I will be crafting a lot, it still contributes to helping me break the game! Onward my friends, towards becoming the strongest player ever in Sapphire!

Oh look, it's dinner time.

And with that thought, I logged out of the game.

After all, I'm still human, I'm hungry.

Just a thought, I can use the Two-faced mask now right?!

*Grumowbowle*

A loud sound came from my abdomen.

...Crap, so hungry...I'll leave the mask for tomorrow then.
