A scam???
658 Words
Gles sits down beside me but did not utter a word. She knows that my attention would disconnect from my surroundings everytime I finish a battle. I never told her why but she doesn't seem to mind. Nor does she ask me for a reason.
It's not that I don't want to tell her, I'll have to find the right moment to do so. Just not now, not yet.
I have trust in her, but I need to make sure I was strong enough to prevent untoward incidents.
I focused on the grimoire and flipped it to the storage section.
Five new cards from the bear. Aside from Draguinity, another four from the Salamandrake. A total of nine cards.
I scanned the cards' descriptions.
[FALL OF GOMORRAH]
RANK - IRON
TYPE - MAGIC/TOGGLE
[With 150 MP, create a rain of brimstone and ash in a radius of 15 meters. All fire attacks are boosted. Wounds are inflicted with double pain. Duration is 2 minutes, 10 MP is consumed for every minute after.]
[SCORCHED EARTH]
RANK - IRON
TYPE - MAGIC/ACTIVE
[For 70 MP, call upon the flames of the earth. A pillar of magma shoots out of the ground dealing iron rank damage. After the eruption, a 5 meter pool magma is left dealing constant copper rank damage for 1 minute.]
[DRAGON'S TAIL]

'Fluffy whip, you don't have to stay idle anymore!'
[SALAMANDRAKE'S SLIME ESSENCE]
RANK - IRON
TYPE - CONSUMABLE
[Rejuvenates and whitens the skin. Say good-bye to those wrinkles and blemishes. No more rough skin. No more skin cancer. Say no to that dull, ugly skin and say hello to a brand new you.
Have that perfect skin that even dolls would be jealous of. All in just one use of this wonderful product. A single use lasts for a lifetime. Your skin will never age ever again.
*Hair conditioner sold separately.
**Model fairy not included.]
'What a shady description!' If I had read this from anywhere else, I would have definitely believed it was a scam. Fortunately, the grimoire would never lie.
This was the real deal! It's what every woman out there dream of having. What girl wouldn't want to have perfectly smooth skin? If I where to sell this at an auction I would be filthy rich.
But I wasn't planning on doing that. 'I had the perfect candidate right here.' I took a peek at Gles. Her gaze was fixed on my face all the while waiting for me to pull my self out of my thoughts.
I decided to continue with my card inspection.
[I ♡ BEAR-BEAR]
RANK - BRONZE

*Has peak bronze rank battle prowess.

'Whaa....at?' Another sleazy description. And a mish-mash of slogans too.
Makes you wonder if they are selling teddies or phones.
Or both.
But it's neither!
Kinda like those online shopping products. You'll never know the difference from the pictures until you receive the item.
