Magic Shop System

Kadyn heard the newcomer and frowned. He eyed three of them but couldn't recognise anyone, and he felt malicious intent coming from them.

"Are you here to cause trouble?" he demanded coldly. It was they who were trying to incite the trouble. So Kadyn felt no obligation to treat them like normal customers.

"Hump! Don't bend my words. Why would I cause trouble in this puny shop?" grunted Shum disdainfully.

"Yes, if your potion can really heal wounds as terrible as you claim, then prove it." Another boy standing behind Shum also voiced.

"Why would I prove anything to the morons like you?" Kadyn snapped at them. He had never claimed that the potion could bring the man on his deathbed back to life, but these three were spreading the sheet of the matter as if desperate that they would fail to stimulate trouble for him.

"What did you say?!" all three of them burst immediately hearing his insulting words.

Kadyn disregarded their fuming expressions and turned towards the wounded guy. "If you want the potion, just buy it. There is no oppression, though. It's your choice."

The three of their faces burned in humiliation when Kadyn ignored their existence. However, none of them said anything anymore and ogled him coldly. They wanted to see him humiliated when his potion won't work as he claimed. After all, how could a shabby shop like this have a marvellous potion, as he claimed?

The customer hesitated for a little while but in the end clenched his teeth and decided to buy the potion. "What's the price?" he asked.

Hearing this, Kadyn fell silent. He had yet to decide the price.

"Just focus on the potion and its status window will appear—remember this applies only inside the shop—you can see the standard price of the potion according to the shop. However, you can sell it for as high or low a price as you want. After all, it was you who concocted it. So the system won't decide the price." System chimed inside his head, solving Kadyn's problem.

As he focused his gaze on the potion. The window appeared.

[Name: Soothing Drop]

[Category: Potion]

[Type: Healing]

[Rank: Elementary]

[Grade: Intermediate]

[Price: 1500 dollar]

[Effect: A drop of the potion can heal and soothe the wounds of the elementary mage]

Kadyn looked at the screen with shining eyes and inquired. "The grade of the potion is intermediate. So if it was high, peak, or top-grade, does that mean price would also increase?"

"Of course. As you know every potion is divided into five sub-categories—low, intermediate, high, peak and top—at every increasing grade, the effect would increase about two times. So of course, the price would also increase."

A wide smile spread across his face when he heard this. So he could earn more if he could increase the grade of the potion. Then he remembered how hard that was. He had almost poured his heart and soul to concoct this single potion, and it was still only at the intermediate grade.

Shaking the distraction at the corner of his head, Kadyn turned towards the customer and replied. "1500 dollars."

"Whaaat!?" the wounded and others behind him screamed in unison. Their faces looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Kadyn eyed them and asked. "Is it... too high?"

"Too high?" everyone peered at him speechlessly.

"You don't want it?" Kadyn inquired and started to place the potion inside the counter once more.

"No, no, I want it." Replied the wounded man. How could he refuse such a generous offer? Anyone knew even the most basic potions sell at the gobsmacking prices. Kadyn was literally giving it free. Though the shopkeeper was unaware of that if he knew he would have definitely raised the price.

The man passed the money and asked. "Can I use it here?"

Although he had bought the potion, there still lingered the shred of doubt inside his head. It was the first time he came to this shop, and the chances of being conned were extremely high. So he decided to use the potion in the presence of everyone.

"Sure, go ahead," he replied and passed the veil before taking the money.

[Do you want to change the money into energy points? Y/N]

"What is this?" Kadyn demanded in surprise to the system.

"As I told you before, it is you who concocted the potion. The system can change it into energy points but not without your permission."

Kadyn nodded and denied converting it into the energy points. It's been over twenty-four hours since he and Elora had eaten something. He was already thinking about this matter when the help arrived. Now he could have supper with his sister, at the very least. A warm smile appeared on his lips.

"How deep!"

"How did he get that wound?"

"It looks like a beast claw."

"What kind of vicious animal could do that?"

Kadyn glanced in front of him when he heard the gasps of others standing behind the wounded customer—two more people had arrived in the meantime.

At this moment, the man had pulled his shirt upward and revealed his stomach. Grotesque gash appeared. Deeper than four inches and white ribcage could be seen inside and crimson blood flew out of the wound. Claw mark!

Kadyn realised that previously this man had stuck a cloth into the wound to stop the blood. However, when he pulled it out, the wound opened again. The man grunted and pulled out the stopper of the veil and poured the entire potion into his wound.

"Ahh!" he moaned when a soothing sensation spread inside his body and the biting pain vanished. He opened his eyes wide in surprise and examined his gash and exclaimed in jubilation. He left dumbstruck when he found the wound was healing, with a pace visible to the eyes.

"W-what is this potion?" he questioned Kadyn agitatedly. He had seen nothing like this before. Even the best of the best shop in the Upper Town area could not provide something as marvellous as this potion.

Kadyn smiled without replying. He had already given him the introduction. There was no need to repeat the same words.

The man took a deep breath when Kadyn remained silent and said. "My name is Khrom. I will never forget this kindness."

Kadyn shook his head in resignation. He was just doing his business. However, he was unaware of how grateful Khrom was. After all, the potion was just too precious for him.

While Khrom smiled jubilantly, the smirk on the faces of the other three froze. They were waiting for Kadyn to be humiliated, yet he won himself glory.
