Immediately the auction began,all the top families settled down and the black coats stepped out of the hall. When the speaker came in, the bid began.
"Welcome citizens of South Korea to the biggest annual auction in the world. For today's venue,it would be in south Korea, Seoul... We have alot of special items waiting today to satisfy our guests"
The speaker continued
"And the first item on our list today is a magic book called the human path. It contains countless high level spells "
The human path, was a book written by Eddy... A renowned mage who used asceptual magic. With the ability to move through dimensions,he went through different worlds, gathering knowledge on magic and used it to create the legendary novel. But as there is only one copy in existence,It is a very rare book of magic that would be great to have.
Although Ed didn't know, he could feel the value in it.
"And the bid starts at 5 million—"
"1billion...I bid one billion"
Ed turned, completely shocked by the amount called. Despite looking in his direction, the guy neither reacted nor turned to his direction.
"Big brother... You can bid higher if you want it, the bills are covered"
"2 billion"
The speaker was stunned, unable to come up with words for a second. Since the book could help him raise his proficiency with this world's magic,it was a considerable price to offer. As if testing his financial strength,the blonde guy backed down from bidding and the book was sold to Ed.
"Ed .d. angelo... He worthy"
Other bids came and passed,but the system didn't make him bid. The time for the final auction came and the weapon was brought out
"For the past 200 years,no one in south Korea has ever gotten a hold of this blade. This is the legendary sky blade, the most used out of the 12 resolve collection but one of the most important in taking over the world's government... We start the bid at 1 billion "
"..."
No one talked for a while, hesitating to bid on a blade that might not choose them.
"2 billion..."
Ed raised the bid,seeing that most were unwilling to bid. The blonde guy walked out of the hall after acquiring everything he needed. He took a final glance at ed before exiting.
With ed claiming the sword successfully, the auction ended much without a hitch thanks to the black coats around the area. Ed went ahead and grabbed the skyblade,in front of the crowd still in the hall. To their surprise, the blade reacted and he drew it from its case.
But as his proficiency was low,it closed again
Ed exited the building quickly,trying to check for the blonde guy who was in the auction earlier. He decided to ask Sally about it
"Who's that blonde haired guy at the auction?"
"That guy's name is Arthur perdisan... The heir to the second strongest family in Korea and my fiance"
"What... I'm confused right now"
Well i guess i won't understand since I'm from another world
They got in the car and drove off. When they got home, ed went to the armoury to review his today.

Ah,I almost forgot about the proficiency in magic. I guess sally would teach me.
He stayed in the armory all night, doing physical training to increase his body durability. Since he could level up even with his status locked, there was nothing to lose from training his body. The next morning, he stepped out to take a shower but sally slammed his bathroom door open. In the blink of an eye, Ed had covered himself
"Ah?!..."
"Big brother... "
"What is wrong with you,do the big families not have courtesy?"
"That's not important right now..."
"Huh... Is that how lowly I'm thought of?"
Sally closed the door behind her and walked towards him.
"Is that okay?... about your fiance, she got kidnapped."
Huh?, who's that...
"Who's that?..."
"Oh, I forgot..."
She sighed before continuing
"She's the only daughter of the sick emperor in China,Xing"
"Xing... How did she?—"
"Just kidding..."
Sally smirked as she stared at Ed's confused face.
"Huh?"
What?
"Damn you..."
He kicks her out of the bathroom before locking the door behind her. She knocks but he ignores her
"Hey come on... I just wanted to say a joke before leaving"
"You're leaving?,"
Ed pokes his head out of the bathroom door to confirm
"Just kidding"
"...ah..."
He summons his skyblade and hurles it at her but she dodges. As he tried to step out of the shower to go after him,he trips and falls, falling unconscious.

Ed wakes up in his room,all dressed and attended to. He sits up with a start after realizing.
"What..."
The maid attending the his needs stood at a corner of the room looks up when she saw him awake.
"Young master..."
"How am I all dressed?"
"We dressed you up under the young lady's orders..."
Ed noticed the blush on her face and laid back on the bed.
It's over...my life has been—
"It was quite alarming...it wasn't angry but was quite threatening"
Hmmm?
"Oh... The young lady said to pass this information to you when you wake up. "
"What is it?..."
What trick does she want to pull now?
She said to tell you this ' I've been sent with a team to investigate the link to the game world... what will you do now' "
"Huh?"
