‘Hmm, I think my memory’s a bit fuzzy. I don’t remember having so many points? Ah well. Let’s start.’

<<Before we proceed, please do note you original had 400 points. This is because I converted your gold to store points.>>

‘Eh? How much gold did I have?’

<<Approximately 10,000 gold. However, when converted you received 3600 store points. You received an extra 10 store points from your dungeon exploration.>>

‘Ah… I could have died back then. Also, you converted all my gold into store points?’

<<No. I kept 5000 gold behind since it would be enough for you.>>

‘Ah… I’ve still got 5000 gold. She’s, that’s a lot. I’m rich, right?’

<<Currently, yes. This isn’t assured in the future>>

‘What’s that supposed to mean?’

<<Let’s check out the weapons section>>

‘Don’t ignore me!’

<<Weapons are categorized according to rank, type and effect.>>

‘You’re ignoring me.’

<<There are [Trash], [Normal], [Magical], [Rare], [Epic], [Unique], [Legendary], [Mythical], [Phantasmal] and [Primordial] in ascending order of ranks. The types are physical and spiritual, whereas the effects are a wide variety from [Sure-hit] to [One-Time-K.O]>>

‘Holy… there’s a [One-Time-K.O]? Wouldn’t I want that then?’

<<Those are mostly 1 time use.

‘Ah… I see. How much and how many can I get? We must invest all our resources in this!’

<<No. Investing in [One-Time-K.O]s is a risky move. I recommend buying a weapon more suitable to yourself. A sword that won’t offload it’s stress on you, or a magical orb to consume to boost your magic power.>>

‘Huh? Come on, can’t I get at least one K.O weapon?’

<<No.>>

‘Come on! Come on! Let me get it!’

<<No.>>

‘I’ll do it without your permission.’

<<And end up being a slave.>>

[Tori took 5000 damage]

[Tori died.]

‘O-On second chance, let’s get a sword. What do you recommend?’

<<This sword, [Hekati Blade]. It boosts your magical powers and also contains imbedded sword techniques in it. It is a High [Epic] rank, physical type weapon and has an effect of draining mana from your opponents. It costs 2500 store points.>>

‘Eh? S-So expensive.’

<<A good investment. And a good match for you, since it’s a jack of all trades sort of weapon. You can imbue up to three spells on it.>>

‘I-It’s really a good sword. But show me something else.’

<<The spear, [Sky Eater]. It is a spear that elongates as per your wishes, with a nearly indestructible shaft and incredibly sharp blade. It naturally harnesses storm magic within it and can cause bad effects for opponents with aura abilities. It is also a Mid [Epic] rank, physical type weapon. It costs 2300 store points.>>

‘Sheesh, so expensive. What’s so bad with [Rare] items?’

<<Nothing. This is simply a calculated plan to get you into the best possible shape for any opponent on the same level or beyond that of the necromancer.>>

‘I see. If you’ve planned that out then, I guess I’ll take the sword.’

[Purchase accepted]

[You bought the [Epic] rank item, [Hekati Blade]!]

[You’ve bought your first item from the Store! You have received the 50 store points as a bonus!]

[You’ve bought your first [Epic] Rank item from the store. You have received 200 store points as a bonus!]

‘S-Seriously?’

The blade formed up in my hand. It was a fine long sword, with sharp double edges and with black edges. The handle was hard and contained a crystal-clear jewel in the center. It seemed to be made of a golden metal. It was heavy in my hands, but felt natural in my hands.

‘A long sword? I don’t normally use these though.’

<<You will receive the sword techniques the moment you start using it.>>

‘Huh. Nice. But I’m guessing not now?’

<<Affirmative. Next, we buy the skills.>>

‘What about Accessories?’

<<Let’s deal with skills first.>>

‘Ok.’

<<Skills have already been explained to you earlier. So, I suggest you buy the Advanced skills [Soul Guard], [Blood Bank] and [Super Thought Process] for 1300 store points.>>

‘Sure, but why that specific set of skills?’

<<[Super Thought Process] is to allow you to think faster. In a sense, your perception of time is heightened. [Blood Bank] allows you to the store the excess blood you suck. And [Soul Guard] is to ward off attacks at your soul, like recoil from your->>

‘My unique skills. That’s right… You said [Evolver] was killing me? Explain in detail.’

<<The unique skill [Evolver] is having an… unknown effect on your soul. Slowly, your soul is being morphed, with some parts being cleaned out, causing memory losses and inability to perform well on an emotional level. Your soul is slowly building up a resistance to its effects, however not fast enough.>>

‘Is that what you meant by it’s killing me?’

<<The actual effect on your soul is still unknown, but it cannot be denied that your soul is deteriorating slowly.>>

‘Hmm, so it’s not really killing me? More like my soul is simply being altered?’

<<And deteriorated>>

‘Um… is there a way to stop the skill?’

<<Negative. Your parallel mind dubbed, Akira has tried several times and failed to do so. Even I with permission have failed to do so.>>

‘Huh… ok, ok. So [Soul Guard] will stop this?’

<<No. It will only drastically slow down [Evolver]’s effects on you till we find a more permanent solution or you die.>>

‘Sheesh, don’t talk about my death so nonchalantly. Wouldn’t you be sad if I died?’

<<I would feel nothing.>>

‘Not even the teeniest bit?’

<<No. I don’t care.>>

‘Sigh… fine. So, is it just on automatically?’

<<Yes. You should be feeling a sense of “protection” once activated.>>

‘Huh… I see. Then [Blood Bank] so I can regenerate with the excess blood?’

<<That is a secondary purpose. The main purpose for which I picked this skill is the option to steal the skills of those whose bloods you consume through use of the unique skill [Remorse].>>

‘WHAAAAA-?!’

<<After much observation, it has been noticed that the unique skill, [Remorse] has proven to be quite “useless” to you, seeing as you prefer to have long term skills rather than short term skills.>>

‘How does this work again?’

<<Once you consume your target’s blood, you will have access to their skills as long as it exists in your blood bank. The blood bank will only be able to store up to 100 milliliters as off level 1.>>

‘Oh? That’s still a lot if all I need is a tiny amount of blood.’

<<Yes.>>

‘Nice one. You solved that problem really quick. And is there an ulterior motive to [Super Thought Process]?’

<<Yes.>>

‘Lay it on me.’

<<So that you think about your decisions better before speaking and acting.>>

‘Isn’t that the whole point of the skill though?’

<<You were thinking only about its combat purposes.>>

‘What’s that supposed to mean?’

<<In the Accessories option, [Daylight Ring] would solve your problem. With it, the sunlight will no longer limit you.>>

‘Wow, such a convenient item exists? Also, answer my question!’

<<The store contains a wide variety of items. Given you possess the right amount of points, you could buy possibly anything.>>

‘Good, good. How do I get more store points, again?’

<<Completing Daily Quests, Completing Main Quests, Completely Sub Quests, Completing Dungeon Quests, Completing Familia Quests, exchanging gold for points, receiving it as gifts from the System Master and other users of the Store and Selling items on the Store>>

‘W-Wait… there’s others with access to the store?’

<<This is only a theory, given that there is an option to sell in the store and there are sometimes items that have a limited amount.>>

‘Huh… I see then. That makes me feel like I’m not really special anymore, but sure. Thanks.’

I bought the skills and the daylight ring for 1330 store points. Afterwards, I still had 430 store points. I activated the [Soul Guard] skill immediately and just like the agent said, I felt this weird fuzziness. It was as if I was now safe.

‘Sheesh. The store’s fire. Ok, now on to the Dungeons! Whoop, whoop!’
