Fate Online: Shadow-Chapter 8: Ray of Frost

Michael immediately ran out from the gym as he chased after Amanda and her friend, but the moment he got out of the door, he saw a BMW passing by him, and saw Amanda inside the passenger seat with her friend driving the car.

"Amanda!" Michael yelled, but the car was too fast or maybe he was just ignored.

"Damn!" Michael cursed, feeling dejected as he gripped both of his fist tightly.

But then he smiled, as he suddenly felt anticipation and excitement after finally laying his eyes on his long lost love.

"If nothing extraordinary happens, then one month from now, we'll see each other again. Let's see if you can escape from me by then!" Michael clenched his fist as he smiled, as he just stared at the direction where Amanda disappeared from.

"Oi, he the boy?" suddenly, a gangster like voice rang behind him.

Micheal turned around and saw a black westerner, with dreadlocks hair, with a piercing in his nose and mouth, and he had that arrogant look on his face, like everything around is below his notice.

And behind him were Kevin and his companion earlier, with their faces beaten blackk and blue.

"What? You guys want another beating?" Michael snickered at them, he wasn't even bothered that the westerner is a foot taller and more bulkier than him.

Kevin snickered coldly while holding his nose, as he pointed at the westerner in front of him and said…

"Ha! Let's see if you can still act arrogantly this time! Do you see this person before you!? He is-"

*Swoosh!* *Crash!*

Kevin finished what he was about to say, when a shadow of a person suddenly flew past him!

Kevin and his friend slowly turned their heads behind them and at the same time they heard the gasps of surprise from the people watching them, and then, they shockingly saw their western friend lying unconscious over a pile of trash.

Then they rigidly looked back at Micheal, as only now did they realized that they had bumped into a huge steel block!

"You were saying?" Michael said, with an irritated face, with his chin raised and along with his clenched fist in front of his chest.

"You!" Kevin pointed at him and wanted to curse, but when he saw Michael's turning darker, he immediately shut hi map, especially when he saw his friend from the corner of his eyes, who's gesturing him to stop it and not mess with this guy anymore.

"If you want to fight, then come on! I don't have time in the world" Michael said, seeing that they are just standing there and looking at him, he even bluff them by making it look like he's gonna punch them again, and it made Kevin and the other guy to retreat backwards in fear that Kevin even landed on his butt.

Kevin immediately got up and with his friend, they immediately picked up their westerner friend and hauled their way out of there, while yelling…

"This isn't over, you hear me!?"

Micheal just snickered from his threats, then he looked down and stared at his fist, while thinking, 'I put everything I got on that punch, but it only sent the guy flying. Hmm..my current strength is at least fifteen percent or less compared to my previous body's strength'.

'Now thinking about it, I was really powerful back then, that dodging bullets wouldn't have been impossible. Maybe I just wanted to immediately die back then when I lost Amanda or else those assholes wouldn't have been able to land a single bullet on my body'

Then Michael looked around, and saw that the people who were watching them earlier had already dispersed and the only remaining ones are those gym goers who are staring at him with amazement along with some envy.

Michael slowly walked towards the entrance of the gym, as the people made way for him.

"It seems I'm done here, at least I had a good workout" Michael smiled as he took his things and left the gym under the numerous eyes of the other gym goers.

And when Michael was just a few meters away from the gym, he suddenly noticed a hundred dollar bill lying on the ground before him, his eyes immediately turned into money that his head immediately inspected his surroundings and notice that there's only a few passerby for the time being.

So he immediately walked over and stepped on it, he slowly bent down and acted that he was fixing his shoe laces, as he took the money and stood up naturally and put the money inside his pocket.

"You can't say no to money" Michael whistled happily as he headed towards a family restaurant and bought some food for a late lunch before heading back home.

After eating his late lunch or early dinner, Leo immediately showered and immediately log back inside [Fate Online].

Michael appeared inside the game, he immediately opened his status window and saw that he was already Level 4 after killing the Ash Wolf Boss.

"One more level and I can finally received quest from the City Mayor" Michael mumbled as he started heading towards City Administration.

Then he opened his [Inventory] and checked the loot he had gotten from the Boos.

"W-what!?" Michael suddenly halted, as he didn't expect to get a Wizard Skill Book, and he might not be a gaming geek but he at least knew that this Skill Book is a rare one just by looking at its description.

"Kaka, Jackpot! If I can sell this, then I won't need to worry about the next months rent" Michael mumbled to himself, as he started calculating in his mind for how much this Skill Book could sell for.

"I think I read about how you can set up a player stall from the Official Website of Gaming Company" Michael said, as he shrugged off his levelling time for the time being and rushed towards the City Square.

"Auctioning a top grade Wizard Skill Book! Only accepting real cash!" Michael yelled as he set up his stall near the fountain and had the skill book displayed in public so that everyone could see it.

Some curious players immediately surrounded as this was the first time seeing a player setting up a stall, and at the same time, they were curious about what kind of a skill book it is that the player is only accepting cash.

"F*ck!" someone suddenly cursed when he saw the description of the item.

"This is high level Skill Book! How the heck did this guy find this!?" another player yelled attracting a lot of attention.

On the local channel, some people had announced that the City of Haven had high level Wizard Skill Book on sale!

There was a player who had set up a stall in City of Haven, city square auctioning the item for real world money!

Who could keep their cool after hearing this news? People who were out levelling, or out doing missions outside the city all made a return trip to see this.

Some players even went offline to make some phone calls with their rich acquaintances.

Mine Tech. had done well: their large player-base from their previous games meant that there were also many tycoons playing the game. Many people were trying to trade for more gold to scrounge together more money. However, Skill Books, especially for wizards weren't something easy to find!

'Why do I feel like my luck is this life is reaching far above the skies!? I can still remember that my luck isn't like this!' Michael thought crazily when he saw the players surrounding his stall and how much ruckus it's causing in the local channel!
