AN: First, I don't own ROTSH. Second, my writing skills kinda whacks. And finally, don't judge me.


[Castle Town]

After I dash my way from the Lute Village, I go to the generic isekai Castle Town to sell some monster parts to get some money. Then, I can use the money to convert my world money to this world money using the World Currency Sword special effect.

World Currency Sword V (Awakened) Excellent: Ability Unlocked

Skill: Void Bank

Special Effect: World Currency Conversion, Currency Storage Up

Accessory Equip Effect: Monster Drop Up

Mastery Level: 100

Let's check how much money I have right now.

World 1 Void Back:

Copper: 6798

Silver: 1689

Gold: 569

Nice. I still have a lot of money from scavenging people's houses in my world. What I did back then is basically a crime, but no one lives there anymore because people in that world suddenly gone due to the people behind the waves. I used to have a lot more than this, but I used almost all of them to buy stats using Microtransaction Stat Boost. I bought all the tiers including luck stats even though that stat is the highest without any boost at all. Anyway, time to convert money. I put some "copper" inside my weapon.

A new Void Bank unlocked!

World 2 Void Bank:

Bronze: 10

Silver: 0

Gold: 0

"Bronze, huh?"

Copper and Bronze are kinda similar in a way. It's converting time. I went to the World 1 section and pressed the conversion button. I can select how much money I can convert. All of them.

Do you want to convert World 1 (All) into World 2?

Cost: 100 Copper/ 1 Silver

Yes/No

I pressed yes.

Converting…

Conversion Succeed!

World 2 Void Bank:

Bronze: 6708

Silver: 1689

Gold: 569

I'm rich. Time to buy some armor to change my 0 stat chestplate and coat. I think the weapon shop is nearby.

[Weapon Shop]

"Welcome," the old dude greeted me. He was leaning on the counter, and the whole scene felt nostalgic. It was like the first time I was summoned as a hero 3 years ago. Good times.

"Hey, your equipment is kinda beat up. Where do you come from?"

Is my equipment really that beat up? I guess if its stats were 0, then the durability is also 0.

"I just came back from the wave in Lute Village."

"What?! The wave?!"

"Yeah. The Shield Hero is also there."

"Ah, I see…"

I can see the old dude smiling. Does this old dude have some connection to the Shield Hero? I can ask that later.

"Anyway, what do you want to buy?"

I want to say, "The strongest chestplate in the world!" But I know that my level is low right now.

"Do you have armor that is sturdy and light?"

"Hm…"

The worst case is that I have to use a leather chestplate.

"How about this chainmail?"

Chainmail… Nah.

"No thanks. Do you have anything else?"

"I could give a armor Air Wake,"

Air Wake? I guess it makes the armor lighter.

"Or I can make an order if you bring the materials."

My eyes lit up when he said that. The one thing I like about another world is order made items.

"Really? Can you make a chestplate then? I want the design to have a similar design to this."

I showed him the Pacifier Magic Steel Chestplate.

"Sure, if you can leave the chestplate with me, then I can make the design somewhat similar."

"Mkay. Do you have any leather chestplate?"

"Yeah, wait a sec."

[Few Minutes Later]

I came out of the changing room with the leather chestplate on and dropped the chestplate at the counter.

"The materials?"

"Yeah, sure."

I pulled my sword from the back and quickly opened the inventory. Magic Steel, Meteoric Iron and Magma Shark Tooth… Sadly, I can't use these at all due to them being materials from another world. I have some bronze and iron ingots I get from the wave monsters drop. I can use that. And also some hydra bones. I don't know if you can use bones from another world to enchant your armor, but I guess this is a little "experiment" for me. I select the items and wait for them to drop from the gemstone.

"Woah! Where do these come from?"

Ah, I forgot that this guy might have seen the Shield Hero inventory system before. Whatever, I can use "Excuse 2.0".

"My weapon can store items. It makes things easier than carrying a lot of materials in a bag."

I hope "Excuse 2.0" works.

"I see…" He brushed it off and started inspecting the materials.

Yes! It works!

"You short off 1 or 2 materials, but I assume this is all you have. And the bones… You wanted to add some magical effects?"

"Yeah, can you do that?"

"Yeah, I can do that. Anything else?"

Hm… A pickaxe and map would be good.

"I want a pair of pickaxes, a map and a few ropes."

"Okay, wait here a minute."

He went to the back of his shop. While he's away, time to copy some weapons.

Weapon Copy System Activated!

Magic Iron Sword

Magic Steel Sword

Silver Iron Sword

Magic Iron Greatsword

Magic Iron Dagger

Etc…

All of the weapons I copied gave bonus stats. Well, I have a lot of skills. So they gave a stat bonus instead. Unlocking them one by one would take a lot of time. Oh, what's this?

Siderite Shield

Quality: Normal

Siderite… This is the same type of material as the Meteoric Iron. I wonder if the Shield Hero has copied this. Shit, the old dude comes back.

"Sorry for the wait."

He put 2 pickaxes, a map and a few ropes on the counter.

"No prob. How much is all of this? Including the chestplate."

"604 silver."

604 silver… Fair enough. I secretly pulled out the silvers from my Void Bank and handed it to the old dude.

"All right, come around this time in two days and your chestplate should be finished."

"Mkay."

I left the weapon shop and started wandering around Castle Town.

[Few Hours Later, Monster Tent]

First, I decided to go to the apothecary to check the difference between my world and this world potions. There's a lot of difference in terms of bottle design and colouring. I bought an intermediate-level potion recipe book and a new set of compounding equipment. And as I expected, I can't read the language here. I need to start from zero again in terms of studying. I can use my other technique though. Throw random shit in and get results. Works every time… Kinda.

Then, I went to the Magic Shop a few buildings away from the Weapon Shop. First thing first, i wanted to check my magic affinity to see if there's any changes. And there is. It's the same as before, but the Witch said that I can also use support magic. The support magic I know is the elemental ones. So I bought a beginner-level lightning, water and support magic grimoire. And surprise, surprise, I can't read it.

And now, I'm in the back alley of Castle Town. Just wanted to see if there's any gang fight here. But what I find instead is a circus tent. My hero tingles tells me that place is radiating some bad vibes. So what do you want to do if you find a place that gives off bad vibes? Of course you go in there and hope there's no jump scare. As I got closer to the tent, I could sense a lot of faint Ki surrounding the tent. Don't tell this place… I'm only checking this place. Just go in and use the Joestar Secret Technique if things go bad.

"Ah, welcome to our humble shop, yes sir." The guy who looks like a more attractive Penguin greeted me.

"Yeah…"

"What reason do you have to come here, yes sir?"

The Penguin changes to Yes sir guy.

"Nah, I just came here to check things out. It's my first time here."

"Is that so… Are you perhaps interested in monsters, yes sir?"

"Monsters?"

So this place sells monsters… But monsters usually radiate strong ki. That is not right.

"Yes, Monsters! Would you like to try our new product?"

He led me to his office and there's a egg crate.

"You said that you sell monsters?"

"I do sell monsters. But they don't take human masters very kindly."

"Okay, I understand. So what is this?" I pointed at the egg crate.

"It's an egg lottery. One egg costs 100 silver, yes sir."

"Lottery… Isn't it just a gacha though."

"What did you say, yes sir?"

"Nothing. What's the main prize?"

"A Knight Dragon that is worth 20 Gold."

"Knight Dragon? I thought dragon eggs were supposed to be bigger than that."

The eggs in the crate are like 3 times bigger than normal eggs. A dragon egg is surely bigger and heavier than that.

"The Knight Dragon is one of the most largely bred dragon species right now. The Knight Dragon might have a gene of other monsters. Hence why the eggs are smaller than a usual dragon egg, yes sir."

Oh yeah. I forgot that the dragon species is a sex freak. Especially the Dragon Emperor. They are crazy about mating and such. But a Knight Dragon wouldn't try to mate with a human, right? RIGHT?!

"Mkay, got it. What is the probability of me getting the dragon?"

"There are 250 eggs in the crate, and only one of them is a dragon egg."

"But there's only 25 eggs in the crate."

"I will move to the next crate when that one is already finished. I'll also be sure to publicize the name of the winner and use them in advertising as well."

He did say this is a lottery though, so fair play. But I ain't playing fair. I got Ki in my hands. So, I went to the crate and started touching it one by one. But the Ki that the eggs radiate is normal. So no dragon in this crate. He said that he will move to the next crate when this one is done. Time to use the skill that I've learned as a hero… Bribery.

"I tell you what, I'll give you 300 silver if you bring all the egg crates here. What do you think? If you accept my offer, you will get plus 200 silver here, don't you think?"

"I'm afraid that I can't do that, yes sir."

"Is that so… Then let's strike a deal."

"Which is?"

This is probably gonna bite me back later. I changed my World Currency Sword into the Magma Shark Tooth Blade and took off its accessory, showing the maroon gemstone.

"As you can see here, I'm one of the heroes. If you don't believe me, then allow me to demonstrate. First Strike: Breeze V, Second Strike: Blow V, Third Strike: Gale V, Chain Reaction: Hurricane V!"

By using the succession skill, there's a small hurricane inside the tent. But it's not powerful enough to destroy the tent due to me holding back. Seconds later, the hurricane fades.

"If you're saying that's magic, then I can show you the REAL magic."

"I think you have shown enough, yes sir. But what's that have to do with this?"

"Oh, it has to do with this. As you know, the heroes have some special abilities, right?"

"According to my knowledge, yes it is."

"Well, some of them are increasing the quality and efficiency of monsters and… slaves. I think you might've met one of the holy heroes, right? Do you notice any weird about his… slave?"

The yes sir guy is scratching his chin. Then, his expression turned into the "If i think about it" face.

"You say that you publicize the name of the winner, right? Let's say I get the dragon. If the dragon develops in a weird way, I will show it to you. If there's someone who wants to know where I get the dragon, I will refer them to you. Think about this as an investment. You could use it with a slave as well. You could earn a fortune."

The yes sir guy thought about it for a while and then nodded.

"Understood. I will bring all the crates right away. Yes sir!"

The bribery worked well as it should be. What I said to him isn't a lie though. If I raised the dragon normally, it would be 3 times stronger than a normal dragon.

Oh, the yes sir guy comes back with a 5 crate filled with eggs. I touched all of them one by one. And I finally found it. The Knight Dragon egg. I poke my finger with a small knife on the table to register the egg as my party member.

Monster acquired: Conditions of use as follows:

There's a small list of rules about the monster seal. Attack me, get zap. Disobey me, get zap. Don't know how to sing Sono Chi No Sadame, get zap. The last one was created by me. It's not like I'm gonna use it on the dragon… Probably not. Its name right now is Monster A. I'm gonna name it after its hatches.

"Here's the money."

I handed him 303 silver.

"Sir, you have overpaid."

"The extra 3 silver is for the thing that you use to make someone a slave. I want it"

"Certainly. Here it is."

He handed me a pot full of ink. I guess this is the thing that they use to make someone a slave. I scoop up some ink and let the sword absorb it.

Conditions met:

Slave User Sword

It's called Slave Master Sword back in my world. I need something from a slave to unlock the rank II. I can do that later. Time to get the hell outta here.

"I promised you that if I get the dragon, I will show it to you."

I said that while performing the Joestar Secret Technique.

[Few Minutes Later, Inn]

After I left the yes sir guy tent, I went to the inn, ate up and went straight to the room I've reserved. I put the egg on the table and proceeded to absorb anything extra in that room including some things that I bought from the Weapon Shop.

Conditions met:

Pickaxe Sword

Rope Sword

Wood Plank Sword

Brick Sword

Cobweb Sword

Dust Sword

Etc…

I got my First Strike skill from the Rope Sword a few years ago. Now that I "unlock" it back, I don't get any skill except a stat bonus. All the chosen weapons are listed in the weapon copy tab. All of the chosen weapons are indeed weapons that I have copied beforehand. Let's see if the power-up method works.

I got some stats, magic and skill points that I've never used. I could increase my stats in order of Atk, Def, MAtk, MDef and Agi. I don't need to increase Luck because that stats will never go down unless I reset my level using the hourglass or get a debuff exclusive for Luck stats. As for magic and skill, I think I have enough of them. I haven't used Ki Techniques yet.

For Bonus Status Level, it's the same as before, level 69. Nice. The Microtransaction Stat Boost menu has been reset, which means I can buy the stats again. The Growth Reversion is also fine. Weapon Evolution, fine. Smelting, fine. Weapon Synthesis, fine. Microtransaction Enhancement, fine.

All the power-up methods worked perfectly fine including my own. Let's check the map.

World Map Sword V (Awakened) Excellent: Ability Unlocked:

Equip Bonus: Vision Up (Medium)

Skill: Map Overview

Special Effect: Map Absorption, Night Vision (Medium)

Accessory Equip Effect: Map Overview (The World)

Mastery Level: 100

Absorb this map and then wait a few seconds… There's the country map, Melromarc. I can only see the places I've already visited like Lute Village and yes sir guy tent. I think there's nothing for me to do left. Let's check my status before I go to bed.

Tomori Riese LV 29

Gender: Male

Age: 16

Race: Human (?)

Magic Affinity: Lighting, Water, Support

Job: Holy Bladed Hero (?)

Equipment: World Map Sword

Magical Clothing

Leather Chestplate

Skill: Fake Profile

Spell: None

The stats I have right now is probably higher than a level 70 holy hero without any vassal power-up method. I should learn this world language while waiting for the egg to hatch. It will make getting information easier.

[2 Days Later]

While waiting for the egg to hatch, I spent all my time studying this country's language and trying to make this world potions using the herbs I plucked outside the Castle Town. The result was better than I expected. I don't even use the book that I've bought.

Nourishing Beverage: Effective for fatigue

Quality: Fair to Excellent

Medicine: Helps cure sickness

Quality: Fair to Excellent

Antidote: Helps cure poisoning

Quality: Fair to Excellent

Man, Ki Boost is an awesome power-up method, I say. The reason I got the dragon is also thanks to this method. Talking about the dragon, I noticed that the egg changes a lot. The egg slowly turned from a normal egg into a real dragon egg. The egg also grew up to the point that the incubator can't even fit it anymore. I never raised a dragon before. I guessed this is probably normal.

Crack!

Oh, the egg is hatching. I looked over at the egg. The cracks slowly spread and opened with an audible crackle, and a dark blue baby dragon popped through the hole.

"Kwaaa!" The dragon squeaked.

I lifted the dragon up to check if there's anything wrong with it. Every part of its body looked okay. Its Ki is also flowing normally. The baby dragon size is probably about my head. And it's also cute.

"Kwa!"

Yep. To think that it has a gene of sex freak creature. I should check its status. Because I was the owner of this dragon, I can check its status.

Monster A LV 1

Gender: Female

Race: Thunder Demon Dragon

Spell: None

Ah, I thought it was a Knight Dragon. But it's a Thunder Demon Dragon instead… Wait a minute. I looked at the dragon face, then I checked its status. I looked at the dragon body, then checked its status again.

"Kwa?"

"Ah, shit."

What the hell?! Isn't this supposed to be a Knight Dragon?! Why the hell is it a Thunder Demon Dragon?! And also, how does it still exist?! I thought all of them went extinct according to the Book of Legends. This dragon isn't supposed to exist in this world. But how…

Wait. According to the Book of Legends, Thunder Demon Dragon only associates with someone who has a strong magic affinity of lighting. Does that mean when I poured my blood onto the egg shell, the dragon somehow evolved from a Knight Dragon into a Thunder Demon Dragon?

The only thing I'm worried about is that Thunder Demon Dragon is a subspecies of Dragon Emperor. Meaning that this dragon has 80% gene of pure blood dragon. Which means that this dragon have a chance of being a sex freak. And since I raised this dragon, it will be able to change into a human. I don't have a good relationship with a dragon that can change into a human. Ah, what do I get myself into…

"Kwaa?"

The dragon poked my shoulder as I was thinking about this crisis. Well, what's done is done. Thunder Demon Dragon has a lightning magic affinity. Maybe I could teach it some of my world magic after it's taken a human form.

Ah! Today's the day the chestplate should be done. I can worry about being assaulted by a dragon later. Before I go to the Weapon Shop, I should absorb some of the egg shells and the dragon scales.

Conditions met:

Monster Tamer Sword

Monster Tamer II Sword

Dragon Tamer Sword

Dragon Tamer II Sword

Ugh, the level requirement for the Dragon Tamer Sword is 60. This is why I don't have a good relationship with dragons. I put all of my stuff into the weapon inventory and checked out from the inn.

[Few Minutes Later, Weapon Shop]

"Welcome. Hey kid, perfect timing. I just finished your chestplate."

"Really? Can I pick it up?"

"Okay. Wait here a sec."

The old dude went into the back of his shop. I guess there's no problem about the hydra bones. The old dude comes back with my old chestplate, a shiny silver chestplate, fingerless gloves and boots with shin guards.

"This is the one. I have never seen a hydra bone like that in my entire life. The magical effects are pretty good if you ask me."

He handed me the stuff. Let's check its status.

Iron Chestplate

Defence up, Attack Endurance (Medium), All Elemental Resistance (Medium), HP Restore (Weak), MP Restore (Weak), Magic Up (Medium), Magic Defense Processing, Automatic Recovery Function

For a normal iron chestplate, the stats are pretty high. And there's MP Restore (Weak). Even though it's weak, if it restores Mana, then it's good. I put the baby dragon on top of a barrel next to the changing room and put on the chestplate. My stats increased drastically. I went out of the changing room to show how I looked to the old dude.

"It suits you well."

"Is that so?"

I felt incomplete without a coat. But asking for a coat with some good effects is impossible right now. Maybe I can wear the chestplate on top of a hoodie or something.

"Anyway, is that a dragon there? It's been a while since I last saw one." He pointed at the Thunder Demon Dragon baby.

"Yeah, I got it from an egg gacha."

"Egg gacha?"

"Egg lottery is what I mean."

"Okay… What is its name?"

"It's name…"

What's a good name for a Thunder Demon Dragon? Maybe something closer to thunder or lightning would be good. I know a good name for it.

"The dragon's name is Lyn."

"Lyn… Is it a male dragon?"

"No, the dragon is a female."

"But Lyn sounds like a man's name."

"Well, in my place, Lyn is commonly referred to as a girl's name."

"Okay then, what is your name?"

"My name is Riese. 16 years old."

The reason I said my family name is because everyone in my world called me that. Like Sir Riese, Hero Riese and Young Riese. The only one who called me by my name is my fellow foolish holy heroes.

"Riese, huh…"

"What? Do you expect a girly name?"

"Nah, just thinking that you might be one of my youngest customers."

"Are there no other customers that you have that are under 16?"

"Nah, I don't ask my customers their age."

"Whatever. I'm done here. I will come back if I need anything."

I picked up my old Pacifier Magic Steel Chestplate on the counter.

"Let's go Lyn."

"Kwaaa!"

She flapped her wings and landed on my left shoulder. If I can get her to level 20 in just one day, that would be great.
