Whispers of Prosperity

after the kiss from Auriel I forced myself to sleep, waking myself up I intend to go and visit the Nexus realm for a regular meeting with my business partner Asmodeus.

finished cleaning myself, I walk to the dining room to have my breakfast as usual, there I already spotted a plate filled with heated up leftover from last night.

after having my breakfast I leave a note thanking Auriel for the breakfast and continue to a open field where Farian and Valthorian already waiting.

We went for a training session where Farian explain and resolve my lack of training and fighting experience, after the physical training Valthorian start explaining how magic works.

The magic used by the dungeon master are far simpler and quicker than normal people because the dungeon core acts as the core giving us the power to drop the chanting process but it reduced our room in manipulating it at an early stage, for example if Valthorian chant a fireball he can manipulate it to move in complex movement and suddenly change the form into other like an arrow ,where I can only shot it in a straight trajectory.

Because of this he explain I should just train my mana control and affinity to the connected attribute, with grater mana control and higher affinity of the attribute I can easily master magic up to high level magic, for the special, forbidden, and lost magic he explain they already touch a certain part of truth or law of the world that kind of magic can only be learn slowly and some need to be chanted to use.

He gave me a crystal ball he created and enchanted to train my mana control, for my affinity he told me to feel the surrounding when I try to recover my mana, since he already know my race have a very high affinity with Space, death, and fire while a mid affinity with thunder, as well a low affinity with time because of my Eternael descent.

when he heard my race for the first time he was very shocked since the Eternael race itself was already extinct because of a unknown reason the race suddenly disappear without any warning.

Moving on from the training and cleaning my self I teleported my self to Nexus, we both agree to met in the private room of the nexus Grand building.

arriving at the teleportation platform I hurried my self to the grand hall, seeing the condition now is very vibrant and full of life, a lot of new store open, bar, and even a few brothels hidden in the corner.

having my way through the street and arriving at the grand hall, I called Alpha and ask me to show me the way to the private room.

***

"nice to meet you again Mr Valtho." (raiya use vlatho name as a fake name)

"it is nice to meet you too Mr Asmodeous."

after a brief moment of greeting we immediately discuss about the information guild.

"Mr valtho we acquire a huge amount of net profit, it is 45 world coin and 3 million gold coin."

"it seems we are flourishing in the business, which information sold the most?"

"Most costumer trying to buy information for their own race."

"so for now I we will be taking 40% each and the rest will be use to gather more information."

"we should thinking of renting a personal space in this hall and hire a clerk to deal with the costumer."

hearing Asmodeus sugesstion I thought of hiring someone like Alpha as our clerk.

"Alpha can we hire an AI like you who can serve and sell costumer the information we have? and how much is it to rent a private room?"

"It is possible sir, but you need to hire an advance AI, per month will cost 100k gold, as for the room you need 50k, the room is the size 30X30 square feet, gold bringing a total of 150k gold."

turning my head to Asmodeus I ask what he thinks.

"so Asmodeus what do you think?"

"it is acceptable, Alpha how much should we pay if we want you to advertise our information guild for 1 month in the teleportation platform"

"it will cost 200k for 1 month in the platform, this price will change as the economy in the nexus grow."

we both agree to the price and ask Alpha to promote the information guild.

"Asmodeus, how about we make a newspaper agency after the information guild reach a milestone growth."

"funny you say that Mr. valtho I used to work on a news agency, should we make a new sector or should we make it under the same guild?"

"we separate the both on the surface, after all we can't have put all the egg in one basket."

"of course this agency is just between us."

after further discussion we ask Alpha to make a contract that stated we will not disclose we own both the news agency and the information guild.

we both stayed to have a lunch to further discuss the progression of this place, having someone who can give a different perspective is quite an advantage. We both went on our way after the lunch on the private room.

I undo my disguise and change my own cloth and started to wander the street to see what other type of business I can do.

I enter one of the bar to listen to the conversation of the dungeon master across the world. Having around a bunch of drunk dungeon master is one of the way to gather more information.

I was focusing myself on enjoying a glass of beer and while hearing an exaggeration of the dungeon master around where they beat thousand of people alone, they marry a daughter of a noble from the west, or they have a one night stand with artist.

after drinking 3 more I decided to leave and return to my own dungeon, but suddenly I saw familiar figure disappearing to an alleyway.

seeing it is to late to catch up and noticing that sometimes curiosity will put me in danger if I'm not prepared, so I just decided to teleport back to the dungeon.
