- [Stall] Novice

- [Shop] Advanced

{Level}
The level of a Shopkeeper serves no purpose, aside from being used as a form of defense, gradually reducing the amount of damage they sustain from adversaries weaker than them. Levels can also be used to enchant unique items, such as equipment or herbs with innate properties, sacrificing them to awaken these effects.
- [XP]
The required experience required to reach the next level, the only way to fill up this bar is to convert raw experience into XP. Completely filling up this bar empties it, but increases the Shopkeepers level, and rewards them with three SP.
- [Experience]
Raw experience given form, it is acquired from gathering resources, crafting them into items, and selling them through the shop. The experience can be used to increase the XP bar, be imbued into skills, increasing their mastery, purchase available skills, are used to fuel enchantments, or converted into special tokens that can be used to purchase special items.
- [SP]

{Tokens}
Tokens are a unique currency that can be used to purchase special goods from a unique store called a Cash Shop. These tokens come in four different forms, each possessing a different function.
- [Gold Token]
Gold Tokens are as depicted, a token that allows the purchase of a varying amount of coin, automatically converting to that world's currency. Gold Tokens are unique as when used, the coins purchased are stored within it, with the token manifesting as a physical container for the coins, summoning them when required. The coins it stores cannot be deposited, and upon withdrawing them, a part of the token will become dull. Once the token has become completely dull in color, it shatters, fulfilling its purpose.
- [Skill Token]
Skill Tokens are used primarily to purchase skills, which manifests as a thick leather-bound book with its own insignia and name, detailing how to utilize and perform the skill. Skill Tokens are also able to be used to purchase spells, the latter inferior to the former in value, allowing for a token to be used to purchase up to four spells at once.
- [Equip Token]
Equip Tokens are used to purchase all forms of equipment, ranging from weapons and armor, to trinkets such as rings and brooches, enchanted weapons and apparel, and etc. These tokens are the only tokens able to be gifted to a customer, who can then use it to obtain a random piece of equipment from Grade-G to Grade-A. Due to its ability to be gifted to others, it is the cheapest token to convert.
- [Item Token]
Item Tokens are used to purchase all sorts of items, be it potions and medicine, to ingots and raw ore, etc. Due to the sheer variety of items that can be purchased, despite how it's name may imply, it is possibly the most valuable of all tokens, and are the most expensive to convert. Additionally, it also possesses a function where, when purchasing an item, the lower the grade that the item is, the higher quantity of that item that can be purchased.
{Skill Books}
Skill Books are unique tomes that carry with them the complete knowledge of how to perform the skill or spell within them. On its own, a skill book possesses three charges, granting the skill to the person reading it, and upon having its charges used up, it will disintegrate. However, should it be transformed into a grimoire, while its charges are reduced to one, it not only grants both the skill and all the knowledge associated with it, the person who reads it has the skill automatically mastered. Skill books can also be imprinted onto scrolls, ten times for each charge, allowing for a total of thirty scrolls to be made. Upon use, the scroll performs the skill or spell, but does little else, disintegrating upon use.
The Shopkeeper is also able to learn these skill books, but is unable to use them for any other purpose except scroll making, losing all knowledge of the skill once thirty scrolls have been made.
{Skills}
By default, when a Shopkeeper is created, they gain four skills.
- [Portal: Storage]
All Shopkeepers possess a pocket dimension where they can store any item they possess but lack the capacity to carry. This pocket dimension halts the time of any item stored within it, and cannot store any living creature, with certain plants and objects being exceptions. The size of the pocket dimension is equal to that of a studio apartment room, and its size can be increased by sacrificing levels.
- [Menu]
A Shopkeeper possesses the ability to call forth a window that displays all of their current stock, as well as all of the items stored away in their pocket dimension. Aside from displaying the properties of the items, what purpose they possess, and their value, the skill possesses no other purpose. It possesses another function where it displays the status of the person or creature it is directed at, revealing their general parameters and any effects they may be affected with.
- [Flee]
A unique skill that all Shopkeepers possess, upon activation, they are covered with an aura that renders them impervious from harm for sixty seconds, and increases their agility by a thousand, allowing them to quickly flee an area.
- [Bodyguard]
A unique spell that all Shopkeepers possess, upon use, a special core is created. When inserted into a material or a piece of equipment, related pieces of items gather around it, forming an animated figure, one with the sole objective of being the Shopkeeper's bodyguard, protecting them from all harm until their destruction. Should it remain active for an hour, its current form will be imprinted within the core, and when activated, it will use the ambient mana around it to recreate its form. These cores are extremely difficult to destroy, and are extremely mana-efficient, making them highly-sought after items.
Due to the requirement of needing 80,000 mana to create, roughly two-thousand times the mana of a sage or arch mage at their peak, a Shopkeeper acts as the only viable source of these cores.
