Chapter 28 - 27 : Paris
Sora made his way to the bank, his mind already focused on the next steps. There was one thing he had put off for far too long—retrieving the items he had stored from his previous cycle before his last reset. He had accumulated a massive number of items, from materials to weapons, but he had never taken the time to sort or sell them.
As he entered the bank, he approached the clerk. "Hello, sir. How can I help you?" the clerk asked politely.
"I'd like to retrieve the items from my storage vault," Sora replied with a nod.
After a few quick motions and verifying his identity, the clerk granted him access to his private vault. Sora stood before the pile of loot and gear he had amassed before his last Prestige reset. As expected, it was a mix of trash, common items, and a few expensive pieces he had forgotten about. There were potions, materials, equipment, and more.
"Quite the collection," Sora muttered to himself as he began sorting through it all. Much of it was outdated, especially now that he had leveled up and acquired better gear. Still, there were hidden gems among the trash.
He pulled out a high-grade space bag he had just purchased from the bank. The bag was a marvel—able to hold vast amounts of items while keeping them neatly organized. Perfect for someone like him who tended to hoard things. Sora began transferring the items he didn't want to keep into the bag, separating those that would go to the auction house and those he would save for future use.
Some items, particularly a few unique pieces of equipment, caught his eye. He decided to hold on to them—gear that might prove useful in certain situations or with future classes. After making his selections, he tossed the rest of the items into the space bag, ready for sale.
Satisfied with his organization, Sora left the bank and headed straight for the auction house. He had far more to sell than he initially anticipated, and it was time to cash in.
When he arrived, the merchant who had sold him the Mana Phones gave him a surprised look as Sora unloaded the vast collection of gear and items onto the counter.
"You've been busy," the merchant remarked.
"You have no idea," Sora said with a smirk.
He started with the lower-level items, selling off everything below level 35. It was mostly junk by his current standards, but valuable to newer players or those training lower-level characters. The merchant assessed the pile, and after a few calculations, handed Sora a bag of gold that represented around 80% of the value of the lower-tier items.
