All-in-One System: All I Need is Erotic Coins



'It is always me…' Damian thought.

Frederic stayed in the city to take care of the shop, or rather, the process of creating one. Raikono stayed in the city too to protect the old bones.

Serana was sleeping at the time, and Damian did not want her roaming outside so soon. She needed some time to rest after being kidnapped.

So the only person available to complete missions was him! Well, missions was what Frederic had in mind, but after Damian checked the rewards for said missions, they were just not enough!

'My rank in the guild is gold now, yet the rewards are kind of lame. I think I might have to go into dark paths to get some money…'

Damian was not poor on Earth, and his organization, The Dawn, was starting to make some profit, but Earth money was useless there! Inside the dungeon, all the races that lived in it used gold coins, and Damian only had a few of these.

The money needed to start the shop was not huge, but it would take Damian at least three or four missions, and that could take more than three months! He wanted his shop running as soon as possible, or at least more money with the same effort.

He put on different clothing that he bought in a shop inside the city: a leather armor with a black cloak and hood. The look Damian had resembled a thief, or an assassin, and assassination was precisely what he had in mind!

There was a black market area in the city's underground. It was not as hard as one might think to get the information about it. Damian went there after changing clothes. He also created some bandages using his slime ring to cover his face, looking somewhat scary.

If one had the knowledge about the black market, one had the right to enter. The person in front of the door did not stop Damian when he went inside, and even glanced at him a few times.

'This man looks dangerous,' the man thought.

There were many people in the underground black market. Not as many as the city itself, but a considerable number. What those folks wanted by getting in there was to offer their services—services that were often against the laws—or buy something they could not find elsewhere.

Damian put on a blind eye to all of that, and went toward a specific area, one that had a board with some notes. It looked similar to the board where one would get missions inside the adventurer's guild, and it also had missions, but they were a little different.

'The rewards are way bigger than the missions in the guild. Which one should I take?'

The number of missions was slightly lower, but almost all of them required Damian to enter as a spy somewhere, and kill an important person! That was a mission that would surely get him hefty rewards.

'This one sounds cool enough,' Damian thought as he picked up a note.

The mission stated on the note was quite simple: invade the noble family's castle, kill its current leader, and if possible kidnap a woman who lives in there.

'A noble family called Snowheart, and they live in a snowy mountain… Well, this should be a lot of fun. I should warn the others about it,' Damian thought.

But before leaving to warn Frederic and the others, he went to speak with the person who put on the note. It took two hours for them to meet, and the person was excited after learning that someone had taken the request.

"Are you Shadowblade? Here, take half of the money now, and the rest you can get after bringing me the head of Snowheart's current leader!"

Shadowblade was the nickname Damian decided to use inside the black market, and that was the name they passed to that man when he asked who took his request.

The man who put out the request was a bald man with a considerable belly, a mustache, and an attire that looked and smelled expensive.

Damian was more than happy to get half of the money before even completing the mission. That amount of money was enough to get his shop going!

But of course, Damian was not stupid enough to take that sum of money and flee away. The bald man before him was surely someone with influence, and just like Damian acted as an assassin, the man could send others to get him, or those he cared about.

"Is there anything I should be wary of?" Damian asked.

"Well, you can sense in the air that winter is close, right? The Snowheart family lives in the snowy mountains, and that place is frigid cold. You should be careful not to die. Also, you need to infiltrate inside the family's castle, and I don't care how you do it, but you must find a way."

The person hiring Damian did not have many details about the castle or how to get in.

'Seriously, cold?'

He was basically stating the obvious, but Damian did not show how displeased he was.

"Alright. Can you at least point where the family lives? Also, how much time do I have to complete this?"

The man nodded, taking a map from Damian, and marking down the location of the Snowheart family's castle, "You have the whole winter to complete it."

Around three months. That was a lot of time to spend inside that place, and Damian felt like the quest was not as simple as it sounded.

Damian grabbed the money and left the black market.

"Where did you get this?" Frederic said with shock as he stared at the large leather sack on the table.

"From a mission, but I still need to complete it. This is only half of it."

"H-Half? What type of mission is this?" Frederic asked.

"One that might take me three months… Can you start the shop with this amount of money?"

"Yes, absolutely! If this is only half of it, and you bring the rest, we can even start an enchanting business here!"

Frederic was so hyped about it that he forgot how strange the whole thing was.

"Take this thing too."

Damian had some Erotic Coins to spend, especially after the previous night with Serana, and he decided to use them for an item, one that would allow him to share messages with Frederic no matter the distance.

"A ring?" Frederic asked, confused.

"I have one too, and we can talk to each other by using it. You can send me messages talking about how things are going, and also about my friends, you know, the ones Jejelak is looking for."

"Marvelous! This is a great item! Where did you get it?"

"I stole it. Now, take care of everything for me, alright?"

"Don't you worry about it."

The idea of parting ways was not something Damian enjoyed, especially after finally having the chance to reunite with Serana, but he needed the money to start his businesses, and the money generated by said businesses would be the pillar of The Dawn, the organization he wanted to continue even inside the dungeon!

'It is time to infiltrate, kill someone, and kidnap someone else! How great!'
