What is Luxury 1

‘Crazy Draisher.’

The kingdom’s strongest axe master. A top-tier 7-star warrior.

One of the seven strongest in the kingdom for the past 10 years.

No one knew his lineage, and his master was unknown, but he suddenly appeared from somewhere, saving the fire field settlers who were being dragged away as slaves by bandits, rising as a hero of the common people.

He seemed harsh, but his heart was thought to be warm-

His hands and feet were fierce, but his heart was thought to be warm-

A prodigy who wielded his axe against the strong for the sake of the weak-

The people thought he must be very handsome.

They believed he had cold eyes that made it difficult to approach him, but surely he possessed overwhelming coolness and beauty, and a melancholy atmosphere, and they began to stretch their imaginations to the extreme, idealizing him.

So, bizarre portraits that people who knew Draisher could not recognize at all were selling like hotcakes.

Also, his biography was said to be selling like wildfire.

-Draisher, the man with the heart of a dragon.

-Draisher of Room 7.

-Don’t lie to Draisher.

Titles that Legion would have torn to shreds and given to the pigs to eat if he had seen them.

But!

Surprisingly, it appealed to young men and women with many dreams.

It seemed to have sold quite well in the early days of the Draisher boom.

Especially to young people dreaming of becoming wandering warriors.

Mizsette and Steel, too, had their hearts fluttered by his adventures for a long time.

Mizsette spent many nights in tears, rereading Draisher of Room 7.

Steel was the same. He had a copy of the book ‘Don’t Lie to Draisher’ as a possession until recently.

Because he wanted to love so passionately.

Those guys were shocked when they saw Draisher in person.

Where did the light warrior with melancholy eyes go-

Why was there a mad warrior with crazy eyes standing there?

When you think about it, it was as they had heard.

Just looking at him made their legs tremble. Their hearts felt like they were freezing when their eyes met. Who wouldn’t be unnerved by that face?

His personality was also the same when you thought about it.

‘He doesn’t care about fire or water. He smashes anyone, no matter who they are.’

That’s right. He really didn’t care about fire or water. He went after anyone. His personality was so awful.

Once the scales fell from their eyes, they could see the reality of Draisher’s ‘horrifying’ nature.

Romantic wandering warrior, my ass.

Only one rumor was true.

He was really, really, really, really, really, really strong. Much stronger than the rumors said. They had never seen Draisher use more than two moves.

But!

Even so…….

What the hell is this?

“You went to catch a dragon?”

How could you do such a thing without being crazy?

“Why are you all staring like that?”

“You mean you went to the Dusselph Mountains… to catch a wyvern?”

Wyverns were also top-tier monsters. Their tremendous attack power from the sky could not be blocked even by 4-star knights. They were not easy to catch.

“Am I stupid? A dra*gon*. I heard it was for revenge from last time or something.”

“……”

“Now, let’s go. Whatever, we have work to do.”

Legion hummed.

It was really absurd-

That’s how Legion and the new recruits’ rewarding journey began.

* * *

“Ooh!”

An overwhelming 5-story building!

This many people and this much energy, it’s amazing even when I see it again. Unlike the first time when I was dazed, I’ve calmed down a bit, but the emotion is still as strong as the first time.

When they saw the department store, Draisher disappeared from the minds of Mizsette and the new recruits.

Who cares if Draisher went to fight a dragon, go on a date, or woo someone. It’s just something someone with inhuman strength would do anyway.

“Can we really shop as much as we want?”

“Is it my money? It’s your money, right? Do as you please.”

“What time should we come back?”

“Wouldn’t two hours be enough?”

“Two hours. Now is not the time to be standing here. Okay, see you later, boss.”

Mizsette ran into the crowded department store.

“Then, see you later, boss.”

The other employees followed Mizsette into the department store. Until now, they had only used low-grade items that they had barely managed to find one or two of. Even if they picked up mid- to high-grade items on the street, they would sell them for money rather than thinking about using them.

Department stores were also just out of their reach.

Now they could actually eat that cake.

Legion chuckled as he watched them leave.

Are they that happy?

Legion looked around and slowly entered the department store.

Legion stopped by the staff store he had visited last time.

The female employee at the staff store, who was wearing a revealing outfit that exposed half of her chest, did not recognize Legion.

“Welcome. Is this your first time at our store?”

Since the ‘Exploding Coolness’ passive skill had disappeared, not a single person had recognized him.

It’s a little sad.

It seems he would have to find the Dark Forest again to activate the ‘Exploding Coolness’ passive skill again.

But can you really increase your height like that? Those dark elves? I wonder if they just cut off and reattach limbs like black magicians.

I’d rather not become a chimera [a creature made of mixed parts].

“Yes, it’s my first time.”

He couldn’t bring himself to say, ‘I’m actually that handsome guy who came last time.’

“What kind of item are you looking for?”

The sexy female employee quickly switched to sales mode.

Staves were very expensive even in stores. Mana potions were on a different level. Selling one staff would cover a magic shop’s monthly rent in the department store.

Legion had to listen to the same thing the female employee had said last time.

He said he would like to look around for a bit by himself.

“Hmm.”

Legion fiddled with the staves wrapped in magic-resistant vinyl that prevented identification. The identification prevention magic that prevented people from knowing the function of the staff only worked on magicians below the 4th circle.

Legion was a 5th circle magician.

Appraisal magic was only a 2nd circle magic, and with just a flow of 5th circle mana, such interference would be dispelled the moment he touched it.

-Attack power increased by 10 percent.

-Attack power increased by 9 percent. Stamina increased by 10 percent.

Mark scanned them quickly before Legion could even notice.

Stamina? Why is that necessary for a staff function?

-Seems like it was made by a magician with weak stamina.

Hull! So, do you hold the staff in one hand while doing it at night? Just imagining it is terrible. Does the attack power increase even then?

“How about that one?”

“Yes?”

“That’s the Rabbit Staff. It’s a bestseller among middle-aged magicians these days.”

“Yes? I’m not middle-aged.”

“Well, that’s what I’m saying. It’s the perfect staff for magicians who are afraid of the night. I’ll give you a 10 percent discount if you want.”

“Oh, how much is it?”

“300 gold. It’s very cheap for something that turns you into a tyrant of the night.”

“Not this kind of thing. Do you have anything else?”

“Um, is there a specific type you’re looking for?”

“I’d like a heavy staff.”

“A heavy staff?”

“Yes.”

“How heavy of a staff are you talking about?”

“The heaviest one possible.”

“Then would you like to come this way? We do have staves used by warlocks. Staves that convert magic power into striking power.”

Warlocks were magicians who demonstrated power in close combat.

They were mainly trained for strategic purposes in the military. Therefore, it was extremely rare to encounter them in normal times.

“This is it.”

There were three types of staves.

None of them were particularly eye-catching. They were about 1 meter long and looked like poles. If there weren’t magic stones floating at the end, you wouldn’t even know they were staves.

Legion grabbed the staff that the warlock used.

-Attack power increased by 10 percent. Additional attack power of +10 percent upon close-range strike. No options. No restrictions. Low durability.

It doesn’t look good at all.

The weight is not satisfactory either. It only weighs about 7-8 kilograms at most.

A magician who fights in close combat?

You’re very likely to get stabbed if you fight with something like this.

“Hehehe, look at that fatty. He’s touching the warlock staff without knowing anything.”

“Is he a magician?”

“Would he be a magician? He’s just a beginner learning magic. He’s just a pig with money. I bet he ate so much that his dad told him to stop eating and learn magic, so he came out to get a staff.”

“Go teach him. That’s not a staff for beginners. He’s looking at luxury goods. Seeing that kind of thing makes me sick.”

“Should I teach him a lesson?”

“Just tell him to get lost. It’s annoying to even talk to someone like that.”

Two men who were looking around the store glanced at Legion and snickered.

They were whispering, but it was a small space.

You’d be an idiot if you couldn’t hear them. The female employee in the middle was flustered.

Legion looked at them.

They were familiar faces. Where had he seen them? Ah, they were the young nobles he had seen at the coming-of-age ceremony.

Their names were… what were they? Ah, I don’t know.

How can I remember all of them one by one? I have so much to do.

But it’s not right to just let this go.

“Can I test this?”

“Yes? Test it?”

“Yes.”

“Ah, go ahead.”

The warlock staff wasn’t very popular, so there were no restrictions. In other words, the sample was directly connected to the product. It felt used, but since there were no other items, customers who were looking for it had no choice but to buy it.

“Hey, fatty.”

The young nobles called out to Legion-

Pow!

The warlock’s staff struck their foreheads.

“Aaaagh!”

The forehead of the young noble at the front cracked, and he fell backward. He covered his forehead with both hands and twisted his body.

He put in a little magic power.

He only put in 2nd circle magic power, but the reaction was like this.

“Y-you crazy bastard… what are you suddenly doing?”

A man shouted urgently.

Legion pouted.

“Why don’t you guys ever change? I taught you so well last time. You should have changed a bit. Don’t you think so? You little shits have no manners, no manners.”

Legion swung the staff.

“This is all part of an education to teach you manners.”

Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!

Legion mercilessly swung the warlock’s staff at the young nobles.

“Ugh, s-save me!”

The young nobles couldn’t even resist.

They tried to get up several times, but an overwhelmingly stronger pressure pressed them down.

The young nobles never dreamed that the power was Legion’s magic power.

Pow! Pow!

“Did luxury goods come before people? People came before luxury goods, you bastards!”

Legion’s beating continued for a long time until he was stopped by the department store security guards who had rushed over to stop him.
