Dungeon Raider System

Chapter 96 : Look who's back

It was just an ordinary morning in campus, students were coming and going all over the place. Some were rushing as they were late for some meeting, while others strolled around the place conversing, drinking coffee or simply enjoying the nice weather.

Something like that was only possible because students were currently on vacation and the campus was actually one of the most beautiful places regular citizens had access to. Not only it was as big as one of the old cities, there were also many green areas brimming with trees, well trimmed bushes and pretty flowers.

Despite the beautiful morning, the sunny day and the soothing smell of the many flowers adorning the place, a cup of coffee fell from a beautiful tall girl's shaky hands and she gaped at the sight of a familiar face exiting the library.

"Take care young bookworm!" Mister Scofield waved at Uriel who had just visited the library to let him know he was alright.

"Thanks, you too Mister Scofield!" Uriel replied squinting his eyes with sincerity.

"URIEL!?" Medusa shouted drawing the attention of those around her but she didn't care. Her first instinct was to run towards him and ask the reason why he hadn't replied to any of her messages or calls but she felt as though her legs were stuck in concrete. She didn't have any means to know it, but Uriel was trying to lay low and she almost ruined all of his efforts with her loud tone of voice.

"Oh! hey! I was looking for you." Uriel scratched the back of his head.

"When did you come back?" She managed to ask.

"It's just been a couple days..."

"Where have you been? Why didn't you answer my calls? Are you free today?"

"Calm down, would you? I mean to tell you guys everything, but this is not the place. Don't tell anyone I'm back and refrain from using your cellphone, please. I'll explain everything later." Uriel explained as he handed Medusa a piece of paper with an address and time. Before Medusa could even reply Uriel had already vanished in the crowd.

For a full minute she couldn't get herself to move from the spot. She had been rounding the library for a long time in hopes of meeting Uriel when he came back and when he finally did, he barely even spoke to her. Being the rational and sensible woman she was, she arrived at what she thought was the only plausible conclusion:

"Uriel has a girlfriend..." She muttered.

"A trite!? As in the very first coin minted!?" By saying it out loud Uriel mindlessly activated his trait and the coin appeared on his hand. The coin was made of electrum which was an alloy made of gold and silver, it had rough edges as if it was made with very primitive means, but it wasn't aged at all. It was shiny and looked expensive, something that pleased Uriel's greediness.

"This is awesome but... no one would believe in it's authenticity as it doesn't look old enough. I wonder what use could I give it."

As if replying to his implied question, the system app provided a detailed explanation.

Uriel wasn't tired after his running, and yet, he found himself completely out of breath after the incredible find. Although he always assumed his trait would allow him to become stronger by buying artifacts, he didn't expect something like that.

Now he could become stronger by getting money and get money by getting stronger. It was an endless self improving cycle.

Still, what surprised him the most was the name of the locked exhibition room.
