Godlike Player in a Game-Like World

Raydon took 20,000 gold coins out of his gold satchel with a single thought and started taking the remaining 4,000 gold coins out of his dimensional storage one at a time to give to the woman.

'Perhaps I should purchase a few more of these gold satchels. ' Under the woman's hostile gaze, Raydon pondered.

He handed the woman her gold coins and thanked her before walking away. He purchased two more gold satchels, additional arrows, and a dismantling knife from other stalls before leaving the item market.

Raydon was greeted by the owner of the antique shop once more as he exited the dark tunnel and arrived at the door that led to the stairs back to the ground. They began climbing the stairs together and soon returned to the antique shop.

''I hope you had a good time, sir. We anticipate seeing you back soon. '' Man exhaled heavily. He appeared to be worn out from going up and down all those stairs.

''Actually, I have a question for you before I leave. '' Raydon turned around and told the man as he was leaving through the door.

''Yes, sir, of course. You just need to say it, and we'll take care of it right away. '' The man immediately replied. He was still afraid of Raydon because of what had happened before. Since he wanted to erase this incident from memory, he was prepared to do whatever it took. Even the female employee next to him was still waiting, her head bowed to Raydon.

''I'm looking for some guys to help me on an illegal mission. The work can be bloody, and some of the guys may die. Do you know where I can find such people? ''  Raydon asked the man, who was staring at him in fear and was suddenly beginning to sweat.

"Sir, you don't need to do this. Just let us know if we made a mistake. '' The man fell on his knees and began to beg. The woman was already on the floor, unconscious.

''What are you talking about?  I'm asking for a personal business that has nothing to do with you. So, is there any? '' Raydon asked again, his eye twitching.

The man's face lit up in relief as soon as he heard this, and he exhaled deeply before standing up and saying in a trembling voice.

"I don't know anyone, but I have contacts. Any time you want, I can find it for you. You only need to provide the details.''  Without thinking, the man said. He had vowed to do the job no matter what.

''That's great. I don't need it right away, but I want it to be ready when the time comes. Also, for contact... I don't have a phone. I don't have time to come back here for this. '' Raydon reasoned. He was obviously after free items again.

''Don't worry, sir, I have a spare that I don't use.'' Without thinking twice, the man took a phone from his pocket and handed it to Raydon.

'I must immediately inform my mistresses that they must not call this number again.'  This was obviously the man's secret phone with his mistresses to avoid being discovered by his wife.

''All right, I'll send the details later.'' Raydon took the phone and left the shop.

When he returned to his neighborhood, it was already dark. Before heading home, he stopped at the street buffet and bought a few sandwiches.

After finishing, he sat down in bed and, as he always did, went over and organized all the information in his head before slowly drifting off to sleep.

When Raydon opened his eyes once more, he was greeted by sunlight streaming through his room's dusty window.

He wasted no time in forcing himself out of his comfortable bed. After going through his morning rituals, he put on his regular clothes, went to the store to buy some sandwiches for breakfast, and then returned to his room.

After eating his breakfast, he stripped off everything but his boxer and stood in the center of the room while gazing at the object in his hand.

''I'm hoping there won't be any unpleasant side effects. '' The heart-shaped object he was holding was actually the body enchantment he had just purchased the day before.

Raydon had very little knowledge of this item. He didn't know anything other than what the description system showed him, and that was enough to convince him to take the risk.

In fact, not knowing what would happen next gave him special pleasure. He was more interested in its hidden attributes than in its disadvantages. Whatever the disadvantage was, he could overcome it. After all, he wouldn't die from this body enchantment, would he?

''Let's start it. '' He then concentrated on the item in his hand and said the necessary words to activate it.

''Body Enchantment. ''

At that moment, the item turned to ash and entered Raydon's mouth, nose, and ears. Raydon panicked briefly, not expecting this to happen, but quickly calmed down and focused on the changes that would occur in his body.

He didn't feel anything for a few seconds, but then his heart tightened. It began to beat faster than it should and continued to accelerate.

Since Raydon has accustomed to this situation thanks to the berserk technique, it did not significantly bother him at first. However, as his heart continued to beat quickly, another pain gradually took over as the veins running from his heart to his neck gradually turned black.

The pain abruptly stopped after the black veins stopped covering a portion of his chest and neck. However, Raydon soon felt something rise up in his throat, slouched, and started to throw up.

He didn't throw up blood or the sandwiches he had just eaten. He was vomiting something completely black and stinky. This thing tasted like smoked meat to him as he puked. Additionally, it had a burned-wood odor.
