Broken Tower Saga: The First Swordsman

The outside was already dark when the two of them walked out of the residential building. Though the limelight in the path was enough to help them in the way. Wrik with his issues with directions, could only hope onto Tanya for bringing him to the right place.

"So where are we going?" Wrik asked Tanya, who finally calmed down from her rage.

"The Omega Store," Tanya answered. "It's quite close by, only a couple of minutes away from the medical department."

"Omega Store, there is a place like that," Wrik muttered. "So what could we find there?"

"They have almost everything a mahasayer needs, from equipment, artifacts to clothes, knowledge, books, potions." Tanya continued, walking towards their destination. "Oh, they have class, Omega abilities, and skills too."

"Class?" Wrik's expression brightened, but the next words from Tanya dampened it again.

"Don't get your hopes up. With the points we have, the classes we could get are barely of any use."

"Then what can we get with only a hundred omega points?"

"We will see when we get there," Tanya said as the two of them walked all the way towards the Omega store.

The omega store was not actually that big, only a five-storeyed building with only a couple of dozen square yards. Not many were present there, as Wrik guessed not everyone had a load of credits. But Wrik saw a few of them, a few he recognised.

"Hey Wrik, you are here," Anton yelled. He was standing in front of the omega store with two others. Michelle and An Byul. But he did not see Davin or others with them. Maybe they were too tired to move after their first day of training.

"Are you guys waiting for us?" Wrik asked as the five of them entered the omega store.

"I asked him to wait for us before he waste his money on something stupid," Tanya answered in place of Anton.

The inside of the Omega store was as bright as day, with rows of limelights on the ceiling. There was only a man and a woman there in their uniforms, while a few customers checked out the articles on the screen on the wall.

"Let's go to the second floor, first floor is only for necessary things like clothes, medicines, and basic equipments." Tanya brought them to the second floor. "We can check out while leaving.

The second floor was alike the first, but more vacant. There was only one man present there. A short, bald, weird man.

If Wrik was not wrong, his name was Ryat. They had met him in the Trial. He was the salesman who sold them the necessities they needed after the first phase. And it appeared the bald salesman recognised them as well; well, he recognised Tanya to be exact.

"Finally some customers," the bald salesman said. "Three pretty ladies, and two unhandsome guys that I recognise."

"I hope you have been well, mister Jiggs," Anton came forward to the bald man, asking for a shake of hands.

"Of course, I have," the bald sales associate shook Anton's hand. "And it's Higgs. Ryat Higgs."

"My bad," Anton said with no embarrassment.

The bald, short man clicked his tongue. His bald head was shining as they remembered. He looked at the ladies before continuing, "I reckon you're all here to buy stuff, so tell me what you need?"

"First, let us see the stuff only exclusive for the Trial participants first," Tanya opened her lips for the rest of them.

Ryat gestured at the big screen on the wall, before continuing, "The stuff exclusive to the Trial is categorised into three groups. Class related, equipment related, and miscellaneous. What do you need?"

"Let's look at the class first," Tanya said.

Ryat nodded as he tapped in front of the air in his omega handler. The big screen on the wall lit up immediately with various images and letters. The bald man left the big screen for the five of them before saying, "Browse, search as much as you want. Remember, purchased articles are not refundable."

Tanya took the lead, tapped at the big screen in front as a lot of class with their price appeared in front of their eyes.

Quite a few classes came into Wrik's eyes, though it seems Tanya was not interested in any of them.

And only after a dozen more Tanya almost reached the end of the scroll.

"Is it just me, or does the stuff on the screen look kind of unimpressive?" Anton could not help but ask.

"All these are the basics classes. What else are you expecting?" Tanya opened her mouth, looking at Anton.

"Where are the rare, special classes?"

"There's none," Ryat answered from the sides. "There's none on the Trial's exclusives. But there are a few elsewhere, but I don't think you have enough points to buy that."

"Just hit me."

"Well, it's your wish, brace yourself, you might get a minor heart attack," Ryat said as he opened another tab on the screen."Here we go."

"What the hell?" Anton shouted. "I don't even have that many omega credits, much-less omega points."

"Don't say I didn't tell you." The bald salesman only smiled.

"It looks like I got my class quite cheap," Anton sighed.

"I don't think any of you could afford any one of them," Ryat laughed as he was about to close off the tab.

But Wrik had other plans. He said looking at the screen, "Wait, scroll back a little."

Ryat did, and the description of a class came in front of everyone.

[Class: Omega Designer. (Uncommon)
