Luis appeared in a swampy terrain where he had to struggle with his movements, there were mud puddles all over the floor and the worst part of everything was that the whole area was surrounded by very tall trees.
"How can something unreal look so real?" Luis said, looking up to the gray sky.
His boots were covered in mud now and moving about wasn't an easy thing as his feet were always sinking into the mud with each movement.
'How am I expected to fight in a place like this?' He thought.
[ Please choose your weapon ]
The VR system screen appeared in front of him giving him a variety of weapons to choose from just like last time.
Luis went ahead and picked his normal weapon, the flaming sword and it immediately appeared in his hand.
Looking at the way the sword appeared an idea came to his mind, they had been told by Michael that they couldn't summon soul weapons in the game, that was the reason why the system provided options for choosing weapons.
He said they couldn't summon soul weapons but Luis didn't have a soul weapon which was why he was going to try something now.
[ Select item to equip from your inventory ]
[ Flaming Sword Equipped ]
A smile appeared on his face as he saw his real flaming sword appear in his hands.
"I knew it." He muttered.
What Luis just did was explainable, his flaming sword wasn't a soul weapon and was just stored in his inventory. What his system had just done was create a VR version of his sword just like the VR system had VR weapons.
'Where are the demons?' Luis thought, looking around with his aura vision but he couldn't sense anything, he decided to use the free time to browse through his system.
[ Physical status ]
[ Strength: 27(+2) ]
[ Stamina: 19 ]
[ Agility: 17(+1) ]
[ Special Abilities ]
[ Fire: Level 4 ]
[ Earth: Level 2 ]
[ Water: Level 1 ]
Luis could see that the upgrade coming from the flaming sword had doubled because he was holding two of it now. His fire ability had also leveled up to level four because of his fights at the demon planet, his earth had also leveled during his little scuffles with George and his boys.
Unfortunately, water users appeared to be scarce, the only time he encountered them was against Ciara and her brother and that wasn't enough to move him to level two although he was very close to leveling up now.
Getting to level four on his fire ability Luis had unlocked a new skill.
[ Fire skills ]
[ Fireball ]
[ Fire stream ]
[ Fire slash (weapon) ]
The new skill which he had unlocked was fire stream which had been only temporary with the flaming sword when he was below level four.
There was one last thing that Luis had forgotten to check yesterday.
[ Shop is now available ]
[ Shop level: 01 ]
[ Items available: Common ]
A grid appeared in front of him displaying all kinds of weapons ranging from swords to spears, axes, halberds, and other kinds of weapons.
Apart from weapons armors were also available, even armor pants and then boots.
Although this was a nice development Luis found all the weapons here useless compared to what he had now.
None of them had any active skill and the highest buff he saw on a weapon was +0.1 which was as close as nothing.
Even the armor didn't look that impressive, the only thing that was able to get his interest was a black boot with red stripes running down the sides, he tapped the boot to get more information about it.
[ Anti Gravity boot ]
[ Grade: Common ]
[ Skills: None ]
[ Effects: Decreases the gravity pull on the user's feet ]
Reading the description Luis knew which physical status the boots were going to increase even before he saw it, it was quite impressive although it was just a boot in the common grade and didn't have an active skill.
Luis liked the boots which happened to be something really useful in his current situation but they happened to be a little problem with getting them.
[ You do not have enough coins to purchase this item ]
'Coins?'
He looked closer at the bottom right of the boots description to see a drawing of a gold coin with a number written beside it.
'I need 100 coins to buy this? I don't even know the number of coins I have.'
[ Coin balance: 50 coins ]
[ The system will grant you 5 coins everyday ]
'Just five, isn't there another way to get more?'
[ You can also exchange a skill point for 100 coins ]
Luis had a skill point left after he unlocked the skill flight but the question was whether a skill point was worth losing for the boots.
'I don't see any harm in it, I can always get more skill points from completing quests.'
[ -1 skill point ]
[ 100 coins received ]
[ Coin balance: 150 coins ]
Luis wasted no time in going back to the boot.
'I just hope you're worth it.'
[ -100 coins ]
[ Anti Gravity boot purchased ]
[ Please check the item in your inventory ]
Luis moved to his inventory and saw the boots there waiting for him.
[ Anti Gravity boots equipped ]
The ordinary boots he was putting on immediately moved to his inventory as the anti Gravity boots were now on his feet.
'My feet feel a little lighter.' He thought pulling his right foot out of the mud.
[ Physical status ]
[ Strength: 27(+1) ]
[ Stamina: 19(+2.5) ]
[ Agility: 17(+1) ]
The boots had increased his stamina at a considerable rate but it wasn't really much of a boost to brag about, the only thing the boot really had to offer was making his feet lighter but that too wasn't that great.
'At least I'll have a better fighting chance with these.'
Luis had been too engrossed in his recent development that he had failed to recognize the demons which were now surrounding him with his aura vision.
A fireball came flying towards him and hitting him on his arm, he was pushed back a little feet.
[ -10 HP ]
[ 90/100 HP ]
"I guess level two demons can really pack a punch," Luis muttered as he rubbed his shoulder.
Fireballs were now coming toward him from all directions but with the help of his new boots, he was able to avoid most of them although he did get hit twice.
[ -10 HP ]
[ -10 HP ]
"I wonder how many hp a fireball from a master demon will take from me."
Before the demons could throw more fireballs, Luis lit up both of his flaming swords.
[ Double fire slash ]
He quickly stepped forward to the ten demons on his right and with one slash coming from both of the flaming swords the demons were all gone.
He didn't waste time rushing to the other side and doing the same to the other ten on the other side.
He had defeated twenty demons without really doing much.
'I would have loved to test out my physical combat with them if it weren't for this stupid mud.'
[ Mission complete ]
[ Would you like to return ]
[ Yes/No ]
Luis clicked yes and his body was quickly covered with white light.
He woke up in the real world and took off his VR set to see that all his mates were already back and were now staring at him.
"Did I miss anything?" He asked with a confused look.
