Orbis Online
10. Time to Sell
After meeting with the Hansilva family at the Grand Hotel Skrimata, Deus immediately returned home after stopping by the minimarket to buy a few packs of instant noodles as his meal in the next few days. Arriving at the apartment, Deus immediately donned Solid Gear and entered the world of Orbis Online.
It did not take about a minute, Deus who became Reus has appeared in the early city—Livetuna. He walked towards a convenience store that sold small supplies and equipment to survive in this world. There are various kinds of Potions, accessories, clothes, some armor and small weapons, even some basic Emblem Skills that are the target of many players—but the price is fantastic, but the price is fantastic, that is 500,000 Byl per one emblem.
As the assignments of his lecturer's eyes piled up, Reus had to catch up with his duties as quickly as possible. Therefore, he did not enter Orbis Online for a week. That week he used it fully to do all his debt tasks.
Although many players, inevitably Reus entered the store and immediately walked up to the seller NPC in the form of a short-haired green woman. He asked if he could sell Potions here, then the NPC replied he could sell anything in this store.
Reus who knows this looks happy and immediately pulled out 20 bottles containing red liquid—HP Potion I—from his Inventory. He placed everything on the table between himself and his interlocutor so that the NPC was surprised. Some of the players inside the shop who saw him were also shocked.

“How much Byl can I get from one bottle of this HP Potion I?”
“E-ehm, 20 Byl per bottle.”
Reus was like being struck by lightning upon hearing the answer from this NPC salesman named Nizie. Twenty Byl every bottle of HP Potion I which means if he sold everything he would get 400 Byl in an instant. That's pretty easy.
Shortly before he sold all the Potions to Nizie, several players immediately approached him.
“Hey, I want to buy your Potions! Twenty-five Byl per bottle!”
“No, sell it to me and I'll buy 40 Byl per bottle!”
“I will buy it 50 Byl per bottle!”
In an instant, suddenly the players inside the shop immediately shrouded Reus like ants swarming with sugar. They jostle each other for Potions that Reus sells. In Orbis Online, Potions were quite rare items since special classes of production were indeed almost never fought so one's level was very difficult to upgrade.
An exception for Reus, he got his Alchemy skill from the title he got for picking up up to 500 Leaf Herbs endlessly. Alchemy skill level can be increased by using it as often as possible—this applies also to all skills in Orbis Online.
“One hundred fifty Byl per bottle!”
An exclamation coming from the entrance of the store made all the players fighting over the Potion Reus speechless—no exception to the owner of the goods. There was a male player, short blond, in full-plate white armor without a helmet, and a large two-handed sword on his back. It gave quite a great aura to the players there.
Reus focused his vision on the player and looked at the available data.
---
Name: Rynos
Level 34
Race : Human
---
Looking at his level, it was no wonder why the aura exerted by the male player was quite heavy for players here who were on average only level 10 to 14. All the players who had surrounded Reus now gave way to Rynos who walked up to them.
“How? What is my price acceptable?”
With a tone that sounded haughty and condescending, Rynos hurled the sentence of the question to Reus. One hundred and fifty Byl per bottle was not a cheap price for an HP Potion I, even the sword Reus possessed was cheaper than this one bottle of potion! Reus just swallowed his saliva.
“Really paid, right?”
“Let's just relax, lots of witnesses here. I'm Rynos, promise I'll pay 150 Byl per bottle of that HP Potion I! Satisfied?”
“B-okay.”
Reus sent 20 bottles of HP Potion I, while Rynos gave 3,000 Byl to his transaction partner. After the transaction was completed, Rynos thanked him and left the convenience store and the players inside.
In that instant, the players re-enact Reus asking if he still has stock in his Inventory. Unfortunately, all HP Potion I owned by Reus was sold out by Rynos. This made the players very disappointed.
***
After his HP Potion I was sold out by Rynos, Reus went to a building that read ‘Quest Center’ on the signboard near the roof of the building. He sat in a chair with an empty table by the window looking at the players who came here.
Quest Center is a building like a class registration place, but what is available here is the official Quest of the system that can be done by players and NPCs. Although Quests could be accepted through NPCs directly, they did not merely give Quests freely to other players or NPCs.
There are goals that they want to achieve from giving the Quest, for example, such as the Quest from Louzie that Reus received when he first played Orbis Online. Actually Louzie does not have any Quest that can be given, but because of the request of Reus who wants to do something in exchange for the rest of his money is lacking. If another player wanted to take the same Quest from Louzie as Reus, that player would never get it.
That's how a Quest in Orbis Online works.
While driving away his boredom, Reus took out about 50 pieces of Herb Leaf on the table and made 10 bottles of HP Potion I— which he immediately put into the Inventory so that the players here did not see it. If only that happened, he would be surrounded by players like that in the convenience store. He doesn't like that.
Since the creation of the HP Potion I was done in an instant, Reus started to get bored again. He took a piece of Herb Leaf from Inventory and played it in hand. A few minutes later, Reus was curious about something.
‘In this world can you eat materials like Herb Leaf without this process? And if I can, what do I get?’
With that thought, he bit the piece of Herb Leaf, chewed it, then swallowed it. Reus showed a bitter expression while eating Herb Leaf. He cursed in his heart because his curiosity made him feel the plants are super bitter.
In his frustration, suddenly a notification panel and [System Voice] appeared in front of Reus.
“{Congratulations, you managed to know the usefulness of Herb Leaf.}”
Reus' eyes opened wide as soon as he saw the notification and heard his [System Voice]. He was surprised to find that behind the taste of the super bitter leaves was stored data about its usefulness. Reus immediately opened the data collector menu with [Command Voice : Library].

Herb Leaf
Herbal plants that are the basic ingredients of HP Potion I, HP Potion II, HP Potion III, HP Recovery Potion I, HP Recovery Potion II, HP Recovery Potion III, Energy Potion I, Energy Potion II, Energy Potion III, and Antidote
Eating one full leaf, HP would recover by 5% and the impact of Poison status would decrease by as much as 10%
---
Once again, Reus was struck by this writing before him. He could not believe it turned out that this super bitter Herb Leaf stored a decent use and became the basic ingredient of many Potions. He pulled out all his earlier swearing aimed at his regret feeling the bitter taste of Herb Leaf. Now, he was grateful for having eaten Herb Leaf.
After he finished reading the complete data regarding Herb Leaf that he had just eaten, he saw a female player who from his appearance could already be guessed that he chose the Elf race. It was visible from both of his long ears. The player was standing near the entrance of the Quest Center so that made almost all the players in this building pay attention to it—especially the men.
The female player character has a very charming face, accompanied by her beautiful blonde hair that slightly fluttered, the proportion of her body that is quite wrapped in clothes is rather minimal, then on his back there is a long bow with a full arrow. He was noticed by many people so that he made himself a little embarrassed.
Reus who saw the Elf player felt familiar with his face. He focused his eyesight and looked at the player's data.
---
Name: Ravel (Elven Century)
Level 279
Race : Elf
---
Reus was surprised once again to see the data of the female player. A beautiful Elf, level 279 who should be a player of this level is not in the city of Livetuna which is called as a beginner city, then the name of the character. He was silent for a long time.
Why would a high-leveled player seem to be in this rookie-filled city? That was the question of every player who saw the Elf player.
