After getting home, Mike found that his parents were out, most likely still at work. Since the cost of medicine for him used to be really high, they both had to get a job. While it meant that he didn't see them that much, he understood that it was only to keep him alive as long as possible, so he couldn't get mad at them for it. After he got himself a quick dinner, Mike got a PM from Ren about the Abyss Auction, something he had completely forgotten about. Going to his computer, he went to the site to see what the had for sale.

The blacksmithing book interested him, since he knew that he would need to get a better Katana sometime. However, it was the Spirit Channeling for Dummies book that really caught his attention. It sounded like it might be a WIS based skillset, however he didn't want to risk wasting money. So he decided to ask Keiichi about it tomorrow. If it was more like the Senshin no Ken then magic like he thought, then it was most likely WIS based. Hell, he might even end up a Spirit Bender/Asura hybrid, that sounded awesome. However he didn't buy anything yet, as he wanted to wait until he had a larger purchase to make to take advantage of the discount. Yeah he knew it was a gimmick to get people to spend more money, but he already knew that this was where he was going to be spending a vast majority of the money he made, so might as well take advantage of whatever deal he can get.

Before leaving the site, he took a quick look at the slave tab in a fit of morbid curiosity. What he saw sickened him. Some of the people being sold didn't look any older then him. "If I'm not prepared...I could end up on here." After banishing that dark thought, Mike went to bed
