My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

After the conversation between Frank and Gwendolyn, the day passed rather quickly, and many customers showed up this time, up to five more.

Frank was happy to sell more products and gain more coins, he felt like his App Points were slowly multiplying with each passing second! In a bit more of time, he would truly get rich!

However, he was still wondering about that tournament that Miriam had named the other day, and as the girl was taking a break from helping Frank attend the customers and also cleaning the place, she answered whatever she knew about.

"Oh, this is a special tournament held every year in here! The prizes are always the major attraction, so the city is often filled with high level monster trainers because of that, there are many people that want the prize money for themselves, especially the other things that they gift too!" said Miriam.

"Hmm… I see. This city seems pretty rich to be doing such a thing as a monster pet tournament every year with such big prizes… Do you know where I can register?" wondered Frank.

"Oh yeah, you need to go to the Trainers Guild and register there! After that, you can get to register in the tournament, there is an entrance fee though, of 500 coins…" said the girl.

"That's a lot for just entering… I guess they also make money out of the participating, there's nothing saying there won't be more than one, so I guess this is relatively profitable, I guess…" thought Frank.

Although most of the money was acquired through spectating people, who paid a smaller coin fee, but could enjoy seeing the battle between monster pets at full high-quality right in front of their noses! Many people in this society were obsessed with monster pets ducking it out live, so they really wanted to see something like that happening, and now looking at how many spectator seats they sold talks a lot about their society as a whole…

"So I need to do that… Well, we'll definitely participate in the tournament, I really want that prize, not because I am greedy or something…" said Frank.

"Huh, can you earn multiple prizes?" asked Gwendolyn.

"No, only one person per prize because it's based in position…" said Miriam.

"I see, so if we want all the prizes, we'll have to bring more allies, we can get all the prizes if we win all positions." Said Frank.

"Yeah! That sounds good! Though we'll have to train our monster pets a lot…" said Gwendolyn.

"Hmm, Miriam, how long until it begins?" asked Frank.

"It will begin whenever winter comes, in around two months from now… I think." Said Miriam.

"So the people that's coming here already… are they sitting around and waiting?" asked Frank.

"No, they're usually doing free battles at the plaza! Sometimes you could go there and look at the trainers battling with their monster pets… they're practicing and gaining experience for their monster pets through battles so they can grow stronger for the tournament. Although monster pets' gains Battle Experience by defeating wild monsters, if they battle against powerful tamed monster pets, its usually more effective!" said Miriam.

"Ooh, so that's how it is… Alright, we'll go look that thing tomorrow, I suppose." Said Frank.

"Yaay! Sounds like fun!" said Miriam.

"Hm, I am also interested…" said Gwendolyn.

Arthurious was overhearing things out from the second floor, as he ended getting involved into the conversation.

"C-Can I go too?" he asked.

"But what about Blackie? Aren't you worried?" asked Frank.

"Well, yeah… but he's a strong boy, so I am sure that he'll be fine!" said Arthurious.

"Fine, you'll come too, happy?" asked Frank.

"Very! I can't wait to go and see monster pets fight!" said Arthurious.

Everyone seemed rather hyped for what was to come, but Frank only felt hyped about earning big bucks, so he didn't cared as much about experience or battles or anything like that… Well, maybe if there are things such as an item that can make dragons age rapidly or something… he might get more hyped for something that isn't just money.

Because he had already checked multiple times inside the market shop and found out that there wasn't any way for him to find and buy an item that could age a monster pet, Frank decided to ask Miriam and Arthurious about it, as the two kids seemed fairly knowledgeable.

"An item that can forcefully age a monster pet so it can mature?" wondered Arthurious.

"I don't know if there's even any item like that… I don't really know, sorry," said Miriam.

"Me neither… I have no clue," said Arthurious.

At the end it was a discouraging thing that they didn't knew about it… but that was how things were anyways, so Frank had to suck it up and continue seeking some sort of item on his own, Gaia from Earth had hinted her that this world named Gaia liker her, had such an item lying somewhere, not so far from his grasp, so he had to just find it and grasp it.

But the entire world is against him in this, as it had become extremely hard to get any clue regarding this accursed item… At the very least he could still progress slowly and see if he could get anything from the upcoming tournament.

And about Frank's Monster Pet Nursery, after a whole week it managed to get almost to the next level, and after making another sale, he actually leveled up through it.

[Your Monster Pet Master Level 1 has reached Level 2!]

[Your Monster Pet Market and Monster Pet Item Market Ranks have increased from Rank 1 to Rank 1.5!]

[New Items have become available]

[Max amount of items purchasable have increased]

[Max amount of Coins you can exchange for Points has increased]

"Oh, so that's the kind of level up it was!" thought Frank.

Frank looked into the many System Windows that had popped up, they showcased many new changes in the Monster Pet Nursery related with that one single level up!
