I Don't Own anything.
'thought'
"Speech"
"Tvs, Radios, and Text via book or newspaper... when those are around..."
You know, it's good to be outside again.
Just strolling around Kuoh.
No real goals.
No real objectives.
Just vibe.
Well, I mean, I guess, there are goals and objectives, primarily the one that's 'figure out where the hell I am in the timeline'. And 'test out new powers'.
There's also the goal of 'Have fun'.
That's why I find myself in the arcade. I'm going to win some stuffed animals for Perona and Silica.
I know Perona would be obsessed with stuffed animals, but I don't know entirely too much about Silica's deep wants and desires to be honest, I know her favorite color is red, she enjoys cooking for her friends, she's a nudist, that she sews sometimes, she adores her little dragon, and a bunch of other stuff like her favorite foods and what she wanted to be if she didn't get trapped in a death game.
She wanted to be a clothing designer, which is why she picked up tailoring in-game.
I'm unsure if that dream of hers has changed after entering sword art and finding my store.
Maybe now she has dreams of becoming a wizard and joining a guild in fairy tail, or eating a devil fruit and becoming a pirate. Who knows.
I'm in the dark about that just as much as I am about her opinion on stuffed animals.
I mean, she's a girl, she'd totally be into that sort of stuff, right?
My eyes stray the claw machines with a frown.
Tampered with, the claw won't close tightly, and the valuable looking items are actually loosely taped to the bottom of the claw machine. The chance of getting anything good is less than one percent.
Which is understandable as most of the things in there are worth well over ten to twenty dollars for a mere fifty cents
Hell, there's even a phone in there, but the size and shape of its box makes it indescribably unlikely to be collected.
It's also an off brand.
The packaging is made to look like a good phone at a glance like this.
Clearly this isn't the place.
Maybe I should focus on timing based games. My supernatural senses should very easily allow me to time button pushes.
The next claw machine has about the same modifications.
That timing machine has a modification where the 'jackpot' light doesn't activate fifty percent of the time and skips over to the next light.
This place... just isn't it.
I might have around sixty thousand in pocket change, but I'm not going to spend that on such a blatantly scammy place.
I let out a quiet sigh as I leave.
I didn't tell them I'd be getting them stuffed animals, so they won't be disappointed if I go back empty handed.
I'll just bring like a pizza or something.
I look over an abandoned warehouse from the top of a nearby building.
Huh.
Yeah. There's a stray devil in there.
Even without my reasonable observation haki, I can practically see the evil radiating off this place.
The blood splatters, the corpses hanging from meat hooks, the subtle scent of death and decay on the air itself.
Alright, so THOOOOSE might be out of view without my observation haki, but the point stands.
I clench a stone in hand, cocking back an arm as it begins to glow, I can feel it harden as I grant it some of my willpower.
I'm not exactly skilled enough to 'blacken' an item yet, but I can at least harden this pebble a little bit.
A sole large eye peeks through one of the upper windows as I swing my arm forwards, the pebble shooting off faster than some bullets.
'WHA- oh shit. No... keep calm. I am calm.'
It crashes through the window and sinks into the eye behind, causing a large shrieking bellow that rattles the warehouse's windows to echo out.
My legs tense as I disappear from the rooftop, propelling myself through the air at truly tremendous speeds.
I land atop a nearby light pole and leap again, causing the glass surrounding the bulb to crack and shatter.
I am propelled through the air, creating a puff of air from the sole of my shoe as I kick off the air itself to fix my trajectory.
I crash through the broken window with a grin, falling to the floor below, I land atop a fleshy torso the size of a truck, knocking the wind out of the beast writhing on the floor, four arms reaching up and cradling its face with two hands and two bird-like talons.
I raise two fingers above my head, the stray devil's body beginning to light up below me as my eyes start to glow.
I plunge my hand downwards striking the devil with my extended index and middle finger, twice on the right side of the chest, once in the solar plexus, once to the left collarbone, and once below the jawbone.
I leap back, flipping through the air as I land a short distance away, crossing my arms.
The large beast with a snake like body- with six legs from various different types of animals such as horses, lizards, and some form of predatory cat- hunches forwards, letting out a deep snarl.
"KEKEKEK! A filthy youkai has chosen to enter my abode! How sickening! But your kind always improves my power the most!"
"You don't feel it, do you?" I question after staring for a brief moment.
"Kekeke. I'll tear your limb from limb and feast on your flesh, then I will return to the underworld and KILL that bitch who thought she could order ME around!"
"No. You'll be dying. Shortly in fact."
The beast slithers forwards, raising a hand above its head, its fingernails lengthening as its bloodshot eye glares down at me. "I'LL KILL YOU!"
I continue staring with a calm smile. "You're going to feel the sheer helplessness that you inflicted on all the humans you ate before you die."
The devil doesn't move any further.
"Oh? Do you feel it now?" I question idly. "The reason I am so confident right now is purely because you are nothing more than a walking corpse. You're already dead. Even now you feel it, don't you? The taint in your body, the taint that mutated your body into a sickening abomination coil around you like a great serpent."
"The first strike destabilized your demonic power. The second caused it to circulate throughout your body, the third numbed your torso, the fourth triggered further mutation of your body, and the fifth stopped it... everywhere but your blood."
"As of this moment, your blood is clotting, twisting, growing. Growing to a size your veins can't support."
"All of that demonic power and corruption to twist and meld you into this... Is now focused entirely on your blood. You're practically going through another mutation equal to your current one... however, instead of slowly turning over the course of a couple of months or years, it's happening all at once. If you were just becoming a stray, this wouldn't do much to you, but considering how much depravity and sin you have indulged in..."
The devil's veins bulge and bloat as its eyes seem to become dull.
I turn and slowly walk away. "Of course, the complete and total stoppage of your blood will probably kill you before its growth does. Oh wait. The brain is full of blood, right?"
The demon's head explodes in a shower of gore as its body begins to contort, spraying blood in all directions like a fountain as its veins pop. I luckily walked out of range.
"Wow. So violent." A voice comments.
"Yeah. It was." I reply, keeping my features schooled. I felt her enter my observation haki range a while ago, she had already seen me standing on the roof and throwing that pebble so I thought I might as well give her a show. "Are you the devil overseeing this town?"
"No! I'm her big sister! But So-Tan was such a meanie and kicked me out of the school!" The magical girl stood before me pouts as she crosses her arms, looking away.
"Oh. Good. If you were the overseer with your power, I'd say you are hilariously incompetent to allow the stray to live here for so long."
I look around slowly my eyes gleaming as I scan my surroundings.
"Ten. Seventeen. Oh? Thirty five?" I hum blandly as I gaze over the damaged warehouse. "It has been here for thirty-five days... and has killed thirty eight people. Ten men. Fourteen women. Thirteen children."
"How... can you tell that?" The magical girl questions.
A small smile forms on my lips. "Natural talent."
Also Observation haki may or may not have had a beneficial effect of combining with my 'Appraisal' ability to let me see some of an items history if I really wanted.
I turn and with a leap I take off, kicking off the air as I pass through the shattered window I crashed through. "Anyways, I'm going to head out now."
As I land outside on the roof, my legs tense and I am sent flying with another use of the Shave technique.
Annnd she's following me.
"Awww. Where ya going?" She questions with a slight head tilt, two bat-like wings on her back allowing her to fly through the air and effortlessly match my pace perfectly as I kick off the air itself.
"Home, primarily... maybe pick up a pizza on the way back. Maybe sushi?" I calmly reply.
"So... how'd you do that stuff?"
"I can see the hundreds of pressure points in the living body and innately know what they do if I were to press them and how hard to do so." I answer.
"That is SO COOL!" The girl gasps, stars in her eyes as she bobbles around me. "That stray devil said you were a youkai, what kind! Come oooonnn tell me."
"Pass." I smile brightly. "I don't trust you and I have zero knowledge of Youkai nor have I ever met one other than myself."
"So you don't know huh? So how'd you come to live in Kuoh, huh, huh?"
"I own a shop. That's about it, really." I say as I hop off the building and down into the alley.
She's already waiting for me at the bottom. "Oooh! Ooh! What do you sell."
I waggle my fingers mysteriously. "Stuuuuff."
*Ping*
Someone entered your shop while you were away. Would you like to teleport back?
[Yes] [No]
"Oh my gosh. Look over there. It's your little sister topless."
"WHAT?!" I mentally select yes as the girl looks away, a camera teleporting into her hands.
I reappear in the shop with a sigh.
"Oh! Welcome back sir!" Silica smiles.
"Hey Silica." I greet lazily. "Oh, wow that was mentally draining."
"Well, if it wasn't Argo-two. I've been looking for you." The girl clad in ninja-like garb announces from in front of me. "What was so tiring? That little teleportation trick?"
"No but thank you for reminding me I should probably grab a book on teleportation the next time I'm within Levy's world. Hell, I might as well get an entire library and allow people to read them... for a price." I smile. "As for what was tiring, I met one of the four leaders of the devil race today. She's a literal magical girl. Her sister apparently oversees Kuoh Town which was enlightening."
"A magical girl?" Silica blinks.
"Oh yeah, she could totally destroy Japan if she wanted. That's how powerful she was. And as a guy who could maaaybe destroy a city block if I really tried, that miiight have startled me just a bit. Luckily you came otherwise I would have had to walk around with her for a little while longer." I explain. "So. Argo with boobs. What did you need from me?"
"Well, actually, come with me for a second."
She grabs my wrist and pulls me aside, opening the door to the storage room and closing it behind us as she steps inside.
She turns around. "Alright. So. Philia ate the devil fruit and let me just say... damn. Most powerful ranged weapon in Aincrad by far. She was able to one-shot things up till floor twenty with just stones, and her damage skyrocketed when she converted metal bars into ammunition."
"I'm glad it helped." I smile down at her.
"You really helped out." The girl nods. "Once she is able to fully use her power, no boss will stand a chance against her."
She leans forwards abruptly, pressing her lips against my own as she uses her surprising strength to pin me against the wall.
As she pulls back, I remain frozen in shock for a moment.
"Huh?"
"That was just a little extra for helping us all out. Once we get to floor seventy five I might have a little more for you." She replies with an impish grin.
"Oh yeah?" I ask with a smirk. "Could it possibly be something... like this?"
I reach up and grope one of breasts causes a small dusting of red to cross her features. "Oh, that and more. And maybe the durability on my armor will run out. Who knows!"
I frown suddenly. "You know, I sort of have to ask, are you doing this because you actually like me and are attracted to me or are you merely doing it as an additional reward for the fruit.
"Mostly column A, a little bit of column B." She answers with a half-lidded smile as she runs a hand along the crotch of my pants. "You're definitely easy on the eyes, and I find that our personalities mesh oh so well."
She leans forwards and whispers into my ear. "Between you and me. Lisbeth isn't the only one planning on ditching her body and coming to the shop."
"Is that so?"
"And not just me, either. I'd say a good sixty percent of The Bold are planning on doing it. Though, they don't plan to stay here, of course, I hear the largest portion of them plan to waltz right into Erza's world."
"That's probably one of the more peaceful ones to go to. It's dangerous, but my world is far worse, as is the third connected world."
"Oh, yeah, the one the devil fruits come from, right? You didn't really talk much about that. What's it like?"
"Corrupt world government, more sea than land, the world government can be ordered around by a group of fat, ugly man-children who refuse to breath the same air as 'filthy commoners', can casually force people to marry them, then rape, steal, kill, and enslave with no consiquences... and if you so much as harm a hair on their heads, the world government sends one of their greatest fighters to kill you."
"Yikes." The blonde mutters. "I'll probably steer clear of that."
"Sooo, I've got to ask, how are you this strong? Like, I'm a supernatural creature and you still managed to manhandle me... not that I was putting up that much resistance." I question the girl as I continue to grope her breast, she hasn't moved my hand yet, so I don't think she minds.
"I might be a dex and agility build, but I'm still level eighty. Most daggers at this level do actually have a strength requirement. It's low, but it still makes me invest a couple of points here and there. If you want an example, you know that black sword Kirito swings around like it's a wooden bokken?"
"Oh? The new one that he got from the floor fifty boss?" I ask.
"It weighs one hundred and seventy kilos." She states.
"…"
"That's almost three hundred and seventy five pounds?!" I exclaim.
"Yep. And he can wield it in one hand. Effortlessly." The girl smiles.
"What the shit?!" I shout. "You're telling me he's swinging around almost a quarter of a ton like it's a foam sword?!"
"Yeaaah, he's invested a little over eighty points into strength. I'm at a more reasonable twenty-six." She shrugs as she steps in beside me and slowly slides down the wall as she wraps my arm around her shoulder, clutching me tightly and forcing me to sit down on the floor beside her.
"So. Anything interesting come to the shop?"
"Well, you weren't here when Asuna came back and cooked me up two new devil fruits, but I've got the recipe for a medicine that temporarily unlocks new transformations for Zoan Devilfruit users."
"An alchemical recipe?!" The girl asks with stars in her eyes.
"Well, yeah, I guess."
"Can I buy it?"
"Why would you want it?" I mutter with a confused expression. "Do you think it'll unlock alchemy for SAO or something."
"…"
"Dude..." The girl states quietly. "Alchemy has been in SAO since like floor eight."
"Wait what? I thought Kayaba hated magic! Why does alchemy exist! That's practically bastardized magic!"
She simply shrugs at my question, causing me to let out a sigh and rub my forehead. "If I had known that, I would have brought up some other recipes I got recently."
"Where did you think I kept getting potions and poisons?" Argo questions with an amused smile.
"I don't know? A black-market NPC or something for the poisons? Mob drop? Apothecary npc?" I weakly reply, internally blushing at the thing I really should have pieced together ages ago.
"Nope. I've personally made just about everything you use! I pride myself on being in the top ten alchemists in Aincrad! So, what do you got?"
"Besides the recipe for 'Rumble Balls', I've got one for 'Dance Powder' which causes it to rain when burnt-" I begin only to be cut off.
"WOAH WHAT? You're telling me I can control the weather with this stuff?! That's overpowered as hell! Some mobs and crafting materials only appear when it's raining!" The girl beside me gasps.
"Then I have a recipe for hero water, something that drastically increases strength when drunk... but at the cost of their life, as the drinker dies in the next five minutes or so."
"Sooooo what you're saying is, incredible insta-kill poison?" She questions.
"I guess you could look at it that way." I shrug as she slowly moves over, into my lap, straddling my waist as she looks into my eyes.
"So." She smiles. "What would I need to do in order to get those three nifty recipes?"
"I wouldn't call it payment if we both enjoy it." I roll my eyes.
Getting someone who knows how to craft rumble balls would be a great boon, plus, she said that she's going to join me in the shop. I might as well make a slight investment.
Still going to upcharge drastically, though. "How about ten million."
"Is that it? Are you suuure you don't want to add anything to that?" She whispers into my ear.
"Ten million and a super hot make out session?" I correct.
"I'll do you one better." The girl replies as she reaches down and takes off her black and purple leather and silk armor revealing a simple white bra with a red rim.
She reaches behind her back and unclips her bra, causing it to drop in between us as she reveals her petite mounds with little pink nipples. I bring both of my hands up, gently cupping her breasts as she leans forwards, lips locking with my own.
I could get behind this.
Now if only that intangible ghost girl wasn't spying on us from within that stack of metal bars. Or if Silica wasn't peeking through the door she cracked open.
Pov: Elsewhere.
He's gone...
That teleportation, there wasn't a single thing she could do to stop it.
A black haired magical girl cups her chin as she gazes around the mostly empty alleyway.
It's less he teleported somewhere and more he was summoned somewhere. But he seemed to know when it was going to happen as he told a dirty little fib to distract her.
He clearly knew her and her healthy love of her little sister.
It's healthy. She'll kill anyone who says otherwise!
His strength wasn't that much, but his awareness and his ability are startling.
Being able to move quickly like that is one thing. An interesting technique that the black haired devil managed to copy after seeing it once in close proximity. She will give him that, it was a fairly genius way of moving.
After all, even when he was using it, he was moving at a snail's pace to her, giving her ample time to observe what he was doing,
But jumping off air is sort of boring.
Most of the supernatural can fly. Even humans through the use of spells or through the use of mediums like magic brooms or carpets.
Jumping on air is nothing to really write home about as any mage with a wind affinity could probably figure out to do it.
But his spatial awareness.
He knew she was following and watching him that entire time he was fighting the stray devil. He saw him flinch slightly after her threw the pebble, but before it struck the window. That must have been when he noticed her.
A decent feat despite the fact that she wasn't trying that hard to hide her presence. Merely reining in her demonic power with a slight spell on her to make normal people see her as nothing out of the ordinary.
He managed it at a fair distance, she was stood almost two hundred feet from him. He didn't even look over.
He kept his cool, knowing that she had seen him perform a supernatural act, then went on as if everything was normal.
A youkai in Kuoh isn't all too worrying. He said that he has no real knowledge of youkai which means he is relatively young. Only recently finding out about his heritage. His overall physical strength is about that of a medium class devil. Nothing necessarily dangerous to her precious So-tan or to Ria-tan excluding their peerage... or that would be the case if he didn't show off that frankly terrifying ability.
She has no idea what he did, but he killed that stray devil... a stray devil of near high class.
Five pokes. He made its own body kill it in five pokes. He managed to do something she's not even sure Ajuka could do to a stray devil.
That's debatable, of course, but he hasn't so far.
She'll have to ask him sometime soon.
A young, unknown type of youkai living in Kuoh. With the ability to strike pressure points or something.
He says he's a shopkeeper and he doesn't seem to have any violent tendencies- besides making a stray devil's head explode, but she will forgive him on that as stray devils get no rights and Sona or Rias would probably kill it in a similar- if not far less violent and cleaner- way.
She should still find him... because he totally lied about So-tan being naked and that's a horrible crime that is deserving of being teased! A lot!
Also for the extremely slim chance he does mean to hurt So-tan and Ria-tan, but that's such a low percent chance that she should probably not even consider that factor when she has future interactions with him.
Pov: returned.
"Well, that was fun." I hum as I stretch my arms above my head.
"It'll be more fun when we go all the way and have some Argo on Argo action." The girl replies with an impish grin as she slips her shirt back on.
Like she said, we didn't go all the way, just kissing, grinding, and some groping, buuuut it definitely helped ease my libido a bit.
"Soooo, Lesser Agro." I begin as I slowly stand, stretching my arms above my head. "I hatched a plan pretty recently."
"oh?"
"Yeah. I sort of got sidetracked with all of... that..." I mutter, causing her mischievous smile to grow. "So, like, do you have an auction or something in-game?"
"We do."
"How does it work exactly?" I ask.
"You put in an item and select how much time you want it to be auctioned, you give it a base starting price, and if it is sold, you get roughly ninety percent of what it was sold for, the shop taking a percent depending on how long you had it auctioned. One percent for twelve hours, two percent for a day, five percent for a week, and ten percent for thirty days."
"Interesting." I grin. "That is quite interesting. So. Tell me. What would you value a fruit that gives you a unique skill at?"
She stares for a moment, her mischievous smile becoming downright devious. "Well, that depends on the power."
"But you can't determine the powers in-game, riiiiight?" I ask.
"Nope. So what you're saying is... you want me to auction one of your weaker fruits for a lot of money."
"Yes. Yes, I do." I nod once.
The girl cups her chin. "Boss drops range from like a ten million to twenty million, but these fruits say they give unique skills so they'd be drastically more. Starting bid of... fifty million? Let it go for a month just to see how much we can get. There are bound to be a couple guilds who have that much in their treasury. I heard that most guilds- aside from our own who are using our funds for better things- are all saving up to buy this big castle on the fifty-fifth floor. I bet that these fruits would cause a few of the guilds to drop out of the guild building race entirely just to get one."
I could have probably made The Bold in further debt with the gun fruit.
I should have done so.
Up charged it even further than the roughly thirtyfold I originally did.
"I should have charged you more for the gun fruit." I announce blandly.
"Yeaaah. It probably would have gone for about as much as that guild castle." Argo agrees, causing me to wince. "But eh. I'll be sure to get you some stuff for free here and there! Let's say ten free favors."
She leans over and wiggles her eyebrows slightly. "Sexual favors not included as I'll be doing those for free~"
"So if the shop takes ten percent. We'd be left with ninty, eh?" I hum as I turn and gesture for Argo to follow me outside, we enter the main front section of the shop, walking past Silica who has a scarlet blush. "I take Eighty five, you take five, sound good?"
"Sounds good to me!" She smiles.
Silica subtly glares at Argo with a cute pout after we pass her, confirming my suspicions that she has a crush on me like she did Kirito in the anime.
We walk back into my apartment, with my newly learned observation haki I can feel Perona's head snap up, she has a hand between her legs, she reaches over the back of the couch and drags down a blanket over her.
As she lays down, Argo and I walk past her, casually take a painting off a wall, and with a weak glow the wall safe opens.
Perona seems satisfied with not making any noise to draw attention to herself.
I take out a swirled silver pear and turn around, looking to my SAO-bound same named counterpart.
"This is the fork fork fruit. Go wild. Tell everyone about it- excluding the fork part- Make some cold hard cash. So I can either buy stuff or further upgrade my home."
"Gotcha." She nods once as she looks over it. "The more this fruit makes, the more free money I make, eh?"
"And the more cool stuff I can get for the shop." I nod once.
"You've got yourself a deal, guy-go." The blonde grins. "I'll be back in a month or so. Probably drastically less for you."
"Be safe."
"Believe me! I linger in safe zones a lot for that very reason!"
I let out a long breath, sat on the floor of my training room, resting within the hybrid form of my Zoan transformation.
I was right, by the way.
About when I theorized that due to the similar pricings of the mercury and lightning fruits they would be comparable in strength.
A fruit which can erase an entire island if you try hard enough, and the mercury fruit which is comparable.
A stream of glistening silvery metal flows around me like a spring, curving back in on itself once it reaches the top and following the gap in the coil, traveling all the way down where it reconnects with the bottom, creating one continuous stream of liquid metal.
Right now, I am training my control, but... this power...
The potential is straight up horrifying.
Even now, after only having it a day, it's safe to say that I could absolutely annihilate Crocodile.
Or, well, at the very least, him cleaving me in half or draining my moisture wouldn't really be an issue.
Solid metal doesn't really have any water to dry out.
Metal might now have the sheer destructive power as lightning, but by no means is it a pushover. It's durable, flexible, I can even build things with it. Something that I couldn't do with Lightning.
As of right now I'm just working on my control of this new ability.
The door to the shop jingles in the other room as I let out a slow, calming breath. I can hear Silica stand and approach me.
The door to the training room opens. "A blood demon art?"
That is... a new voice?
"Mr. Argo! Someone new is here!"
I hear a sharp intake of air.
"Sound breathing: Third Form: Rising Crescendo!"
My eyes crack open.
Why is the room upside down.
My severed head thuds to the floor a short distance away.
"…"
"M-MR AGRO!" Silica screams.
This room protects against lethal wounds or wounds that could very easily become lethal.
The only reason by head got cut off is because that doesn't kill or even hurt me anymore.
"Well. That was rude." I frown, causing the man before me to tense as the headless body sat next to him seems to melt into a silvery metal and slither across the floor, it reforms under me as I rise to my full height.
He has white hair held back with a bejeweled headband that makes him look like some form of stripper that just walked out of the Naruto universe, he is surprisingly muscular, towering over me at well over six feet tall, bands of gold are wrapped around his pecs, he wears a teal-ish sleeveless button-up suit with baggy pants of the same color.
Clenched in his hand are two massive cleavers that are orange in color, the pommels connected by a metal chain.
He is immediately on guard. "A demon who can survive getting their head cut off by a Nichirin blade?! Tell me... you are of the upper moons, correct?"
"What the fuck are you even talking about?!" I snap.
New universe acquired! Plus it looks like the Argos are scheming something nicely.
I wonder what would happen if they had sex. Do they just scream their own names or something?
Plus Argo finally went outside for once!
Then... instantly met one of the top four powerhouses of the devil race.
Unlucky.
Guest Reviews:
Random Guest: Technically Kirito would see no need to duel with heathcliff. Also, yes, that is one of the universes I have considered. Also, technically Argo has never been seen in that close proximity to Luffy. The only marines who know he exists know he vehemently denies being a straw hat
Guest 001: yep! But that just brings up the issue of 'how do I carve something in a ring that can resist cannon fire'.
Reader 451: Eh, there's only four so far.
TobascoSlacks: Bold to assume that Moria will even be... alive... soon enough.
DTM321: That's what happens when he eats 3
Guest 002: It's less me not choosing to go there because I hate it, it's moreso I know NOTHING about Harry Potter. My extent of HP knowledge extends to Shiro's fic, Sorcerer's Ambition, and Cross' The Game Must Go On, but even then, the harrpy potter part of TGMGO was my least favorite part. Having the protagonist insert as Harry himself felt really unneeded and sort of turned me off from the fic for a long time.
Guest 003: On the topic of the last review, I know nothing about Star Trek except it is in space.
ToastedCookies: Exactly!
Guest 003: yes, that is definitely a universe I'll eventually make the shop connect to.
Guest 004: Thank you for the idea. That's exactly what they did.
Guest 005: they'd get a system alert if they are in the shop.
KonKon: I've never read or watch Danmachi. I already finished like 100 chapters of demon slayer in one sitting to add it as a universe, so I'm a little burnt out of manga for now.
SpiritDeNight: Who WOULDN'T simp for big lady?
Anyways, I hope you all enjoyed I'll see you all whenever!
