Shop district.
The shopping district was established in a straight long street that was ending right at the entrance of the Tower. The closer you get to the Tower, the more valuable items there are. The street was divided into two parts, the one closest to the tower was for the Rankers and the other was for common people.
The street was crowded with people and among them, a blue-haired boy was walking in the middle while looking left and right with an excited face. Riku was in the part of common people and he was looking for a shop that sells ability orbs.
When he was almost at the end of the common people part he stopped in front of a shop that had a large sign on top of it.
' Haru's Orbs ' Riku's eyes were shining when he read the name on the sign.
" Move Kid! " He was thrown out from his thoughts when he suddenly heard the voice of a man coming from behind his back.
' Ranker! ' When he turned around to see who it was, the first thing he noticed was a badge with an F written on it. Riku knew that only the Rankers have the right to wear that badge.
The Rankers have different ranks based on their level of power, the lowest is F and the highest is A. A Ranker can measure his level of power thanks to the A.I watch that was invented by professor Adam using life crystals.
When the first Rankers dissected the corpse of a magical beast, they found out that in his head resided a crystal full of energy. They named it life crystal and they started doing experiments with it to see if they could implement it in the place of electricity and other types of energies.
The experiments were a big success and now every type of object is working with the energy provided by the life crystals.
" It's just a kid James. " A middle-aged man said with a big smile on his face while putting a hand on the shoulder of the person who spoke before.
" My bad, I'm still a little bit sad for what happened yesterday, boss. " James's expression pained when he talked about it.
James had a skinny body with black long hair and a big nose which immediately jumped into evidence. The scary thing about him was his snake-like pupils.
" My name is Marc, what's yours? " Marc said with a charming smile while raising his hand for a handshake.
Riku was surprised when he saw the big sword that Marc had on his back. A sword of that size should probably weigh one hundred kilograms.
" My name is Riku! " He said while shaking his hand.
This was the first time that he met a Ranker and the first thing he felt was danger. It was like his instincts told him that he had zero chances to win against him.
" What are you doing here? " Marc asked with curiosity.
" I'm here to buy an orb and become a Ranker " Riku responded with strong determination in his eyes.
" Let's go inside the shop my wife will help you. " Marc said as he entered the shop.
" What? " Riku was dazed because he didn't understand the meaning behind Marc's words.
" The owner of the shop is the boss's wife. " James said while patting Riku on his back and entering the shop.
