As Dorian arrived in Dreamland, he looked at his balance. He had 200 000 Dream Coins, and all his possessions had been sold. It looked like Erudit hadn't removed his items out of spite. Or maybe he didn't know who put which item on sale?

Anyway, Dorian was satisfied with what he had. If he wanted to buy some things, he could still use the system's own shop. Although the prices would be more expensive, at least he could buy something. For the shops in the Evolver area, most of them didn't sale what he needed, and he was banned from those who sold great things.

Of course, there should be other shops that could provide him with good items, but he only had two hours until he would be sent into his next world. He could even enter a bit earlier if he wanted.

Anyway, he didn't have time to search for good shops. Instead, he would make sure Carla could prepare as much as she could, he didn't want her to die, it would be hard to find a spy as good as her. And getting one who came from Earth would be even harder.

So Dorian sent her a message, telling her to meet him at the beginning of the market area. She quickly replied, saying she would meet him there. Once the two reunited, Dorian sent her an invitation to form a party.

To enter a world together, they couldn't just be in the same guild, they needed to form a party. As she joined him he said "The next mission will most certainly be a Hunt, and the prey will be Ascendants. You are ready for this?"

He expected her to hesitate, but was surprised to find out she just nodded. Satisfied, he added "Now, you can't just go in there with how weak you are.. Let's do some shopping, you need to get stronger. Tell me what you need."

Carla smiled sweetly and asked "Are you becoming my Sugar Daddy?" Dorian frowned and replied "I don't want a dead weight with me. Stop talking nonsense and lead the way."

She pursed her lips and said "You are no fun." but she still walked ahead. As they passed through the Sheep area, Dorian didn't even care about hiding, he directly showed his might by unleashing his King aura.

Although his Killing Aura was stronger, his King Aura would get stronger by pressuring others successfully, so that was a perfect opportunity.

The result was that no one dared to enter into a 20 meters radius from Dorian, avoiding him like the plague. As they did, he looked over to his status, as he had done some training, and also to see which ability books he should be watching for should he be lucky enough to find them.

[Equipment: ..]

Right now, what Dorian needed the most were Expert Rank ability books to upgrade his abilities to the new rank. He already had 6 abilities that could be upgraded to the next rank, and he wouldn't even lose points as he get them once he Ascends.

Unfortunately, there was no one among Evolvers who sold Expert Rank ability books, and he couldn't buy them in the system's shop as the items there were limited to Blue Rank and Adept Rank.

That's why, he could only hope he would find the appropriate Adept and Basic ability books, or the rare Blue Rank items out there. The problem was, Blue Rank items sold for around 50 000 DC, and if he wanted Carla to get a serious power up he needed all of the 200 000 DC he had.

After some time they reached deeper in the Predator area, and Dorian took off his aura, there was no need for such a thing here. Carla led him to a.. perfume shop?

Sensing his confusion, Carla said "We aren't on earth, perfumes here are not just cosmetics. They can be used in various ways, to entice, to poison, to confuse.. They are of a great use."

Dorian nodded and the two entered. The interior smelled really great, Dorian couldn't put a name on the smell he was sniffing, but it was undoubtedly great.

Carla seemed to know the place as she directly went for the counter, where a lady greeted her warmly. Carla replied politely before asking "I'm here for.."

In the end, Carla ordered for three kinds of perfumes: One would make sneeze anyone smelling it, apart from the user, another would create a thick smoke as soon as it comes in contact with flames. Those first two were Green items, and costed only a few thousands.

As for the last one, it was more rare, and even though it was still of a Green Rank, its price was several bigger. This last perfume would make all the ones smelling it enter a frenzy, attacking everyone around, be they allies or enemies.

The total was of 49 000 DC, which Dorian found to be a fair price since they took several vials for the first two, and the last one was bigger than the other two.

Although this wouldn't directly enhance Carla's strength, it would still strengthen her survival abilities. Moreover, they could be used differently from perfumes, of he wanted Dorian could also dip his throwing knives in one of those perfumes and throw them.

They would have the same effects. By the way, Dorian had been able to buy a set of well designed knives, they were only of white quality but those were proper throwing knives with a perfect balance that would still deal a lot of damage. He was able to buy them thanks to his grandfather.

After that, Dorian and Carla went for an ability shop. There, Carla bought several ability books, which she used to pass her abilities to the next levels. Actually, the two spent all the remaining DC on those.

Moreover, Dorian was surprised to find ability books for his Runemaster skill, enough to level it up to the Adept Rank.

Looking at his abilities, Dorian sent a relieved look at the last one, the [Adept Holy Fire Manual]. This ability was super rare, thus would be very difficult to rank up. But Benjamin explained to Dorian how wrong he was.

Actually, his ability was much rarer than he initially thought. It was actually unique. Beginner worlds were unique to their users, and since the ability Dorian picked belonged to a special energy from a special race into that world, it was considered unique and would be the only one in the entire universe to own it.

That's also why Dorian's grandfather lamented he didn't have one such ability, because even with all the power he had, he couldn't buy a unique ability, he needed to find it himself.

Back to Dorian, because they were unique, those kind of abilities didn't need ability books to rank them up, but rather for the user to make a breakthrough, going from one rank to another.

Once they finished their shopping, only an hour remained. Dorian led Carla out of the market, and into his room. They didn't need to do that, but once the mission was finished, they would appear in the spot they left, and he wanted them to appear in a safe place.

As Dorian chose to cut the timer off, it immediately hit zero, and the two found themselves in the familiar dark place, a new notification appearing before their eyes.
