Sharingan (1 Tomoe) Activation Cost - 1 Energy Point/2000 Hours Of Use.
I saw the activation cost and was pleasantly surprised. But I wasn't done with the shop just yet, I still had 8 Energy Points to spend.
'System, what do you recommend I do with these Energy Points?' I asked
'I'm not very competent in regards to giving recommendations, however I will list off your options as of now:
1. You continue spending them to exchange for items from the shop, you can buy anything if you have the required quantity of Energy Points.
2. You can use them to increase your personal power, to become a Heavenly Mortal, which is the most common cultivation realm in this world, almost everyone under 8 years of age is at the first stage, with your stored Energy Points you can get yourself to the 2nd stage.
3. Use the ring to create a 'clone', whose appearance you can modify. You will be telepathically connected to this 'clone' at all times. A first Stage Heavenly Mortal costs 1-2 Energy Points, while a second Stage costs of 4-8 Energy Points. '
I spent some time pondering upon my next move, I decided on searching the store a little longer before coming to a decision. I went to the store and immediately searched for a 'scouter' from DBZ, and up came a list of items.
Scouter (Standard Grade) - 0.1 Energy Points
Scouter (Medium Grade) - 0.25 Energy Points
Scouter (Elite Grade) - 0.5 Energy Points
Integrated Scouter (Elite Grade) - 1 Energy Point
The Integrated Scouter caught my eye. I focused more on it in my mind, and the following description showed up:
-----------------------------------------------------
Integrated Scouter (Elite Grade) - 1 Energy Point
-----------------------------------------------------
-Allows owner to measure power level, however, it can be integrated onto user's vision, so that no one other than the user can see it.
-Max Power Level (5,000,000). (Warning: Power Level Can Be Boosted Through Activating Techniques And Martial Arts)
-Gives host a Power level to cultivation realm conversion manual (A/N. Check Auxilliary Chapter)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I thought about it for a second, but then decided to buy it. Having the ability to detect large power levels from far away is a huge advantage. 'System, exchange 1 Energy Point for the Integrated Scouter.' I thought in my mind.
Confirm Y/N
I focused on the Y once more.
Ding!
'Host has purchased the "Integrated Scouter (Elite Grade)". Activate it to access its abilities.'
I now looked at my remaining 7 Energy Points. I knew I made a good purchase with the scouter, but now I was debating in my mind over whether I should buy a 'clone' slave, or to spend more points on the shop.
After all, increasing my personal power was out of the question.
I had felt quite the aura from my grandparents, and considering that the system told me that even children were at the first stage Heavenly Mortal realm, I probably would have my power level seen through instantly by my grandparents.
Imagine, if they found out I was a baby stronger than most teenagers in this realm? It's a ludicrous idea, and would bring nothing but immense trouble.
So after thinking about it a little more, I decided to settle on creating a 'clone'. I said in my mind 'System, I would like to exchange energy points for a 'clone''
'Displaying 'Clone' creation menu'
Ding!
I had my eyes closed and was looking at the vision inside my head, there seemed to be a menu of some sort. It was titled quite appropriately as the 'Clone Creation Menu'. Not very original but it gets the job done.
'Clone Creation Menu'
Clone's Cultivation Realm - 0/?
Cultivation Stage - 0/?
Vein Ranking(A/N: Check Auxilliary Chapter) - 0/?
Clone's Specialization - None.
Available Specializations - Assassin, Warrior, Tank, Ranged, Support.
Clone's Appearance - ?/100
Misc. Menu (Eye Colour, Hair Colour, Height, Size, etc.)
Create Clone? Yes/No
I looked at the menu and I started fiddling with the settings. I set the Cultivation Realm to 1, and the stage to 2. Doing those two things alone boosted the price to 4 Energy Points, but then i set the 'Vein Ranking' to 5 and that boosted the cost further to a staggering 6 Energy Points.
Looking at the specializations, i had already made my decision, I immediately chose 'Assassin', because the only reason I was making a clone, was to be incognito.
For Appearance, I set the number to 88/100, just because. In the misc. menu I ended up shaping him into a 1.75m tall male with a muscular but slim build, and I set his eye colour to be green, and his hair to be completely white.
I also give him the age of 12, so as to make people think he was a rare talent...
Then I went ahead and checked the cost, which remained unchanged at 6 Energy Points, and after I was done I focused on the 'Yes' option at the bottom of the menu,
Ding!
Host has requested to create 1 "Stage 2 Heavenly Mortal" (5 Veins) for 6 Energy Points. Would you like to confirm exchange Y/N.
Once again I clicked on the Y in my mind, and suddenly i felt my ring finger grow very hot, my little newborn finger was glowing orange, and then it started projecting a beam of light towards the ceiling, which was collecting into a large orb.
I moved my finger in panic, and surprisingly the ball also moved slowly towards where the beam of light was being projected from the top of my finger. I calmed down, closed my hands into a fist, and pointed the fist towards the floor infront of me.
About 5 seconds passed with me holding that pose, and then suddenly the ring stopped glowing, and beam of light also disappeared.
The orb of orange light infront of me transformed into a human sillhouette, and slowly transformed into a boy that was donned in a slimy black coating. The boy was on one knee facing towards me with his head down in a respectful manner.
'Greetings my Lord' I heard his voice resounding in my head.
'Umm... hello? Can you try to be a little less conspicuous?' I asked.
'Your wish is my command, my Lord' He replied respectfully.
'Hey bud, how confident are you in surviving the fall through my window?' I asked.
'Almost guranteed survival, small chance of minor injuries, I can use my strength to project my energy outward to resist the pull of gravity, thereby slowing the fall.' He replied.
'Go ahead and jump out the window, and try to close it behind you, I haven't seen what this world looks like outside of my bedroom yet, so you should use your instinct to find a place to hide.' I replied
'We can continue contact in the morning when i wake up.' I added.
'Roger that, my Lord' Saying that, the 'Clone' opened my curtains, and my window, then hung on the outside of my building, holding onto the window sill with one hand, while using the other to masterfully close the curtains.
He then grabbed the window, and closed it, jumping out as soon as he did so.
I was slightly worried for him, because I felt this strange attachment towards him. I knew he wouldn't die, but I was finally looking forward to interacting with someone.
