Zero smiled before realizing were he was, at which point he stood and made his way farther into the animal cages as he talked to the window.
'Window, show me the Shop.'
A black window appeared with five words to be clicked.
Zero clicked Potions first, deciding to see if he could get something that would recover his Mana Channels. The window morphed to show what Zero figured was a search bar at the top. the rest of the window had small squares, each showing the symbol of a test tube. 'I'm guessing the test tube is the symbol for potions?' Zero shrugged to himself as he looked back at the window and looked at the first item.
Zero stopped moving altogether as he read the price for the potion. '60k for the lowest grade?! Window, search what I can get for 5,000 souls.' The window morphed into complete black for multiple moments before a single item appeared.
Zero clicked the small box and watched as it expanded to fill the entire window.

Zero clicked yes, the soul counter on the top left of his vision start rapidly dropping until 3041 was remaining. As the soul counter was dropping, Zero watched the souls pull out of his chest and get absorbed into the window itself, the window rippling like water.
-Notice-
To receive the item, the Host must simply place part of there body into the window and either will the product to instantly be used, or will it to be pulled out.
Zero pushed his hand against the window and it disappeared into it. 'Pull out.' Zero felt four different things latch onto his hand before he pulled it out. There, as his hand completely came out of the window, four metal coin looking items fell to the ground. Zero picked each of them up, finding two of them had the symbol of an test tube while the other two had an I on it and the other had an up arrow with a plus sign to it. A window appeared when he asked the window what each of them meant.

Simply make contact with a Token and will it to be used and it will be applied to the Host or to something the Host is touching. Please note that Upgrade tokens should be used with a powerful pain reliever, or when the Host is unconscious.
Without giving it a second thought, Zero willed both the Mana Channel Recovery Potion and the Low Grade Muscle Upgrade Token to be applied to him. Zero's vision nearly went black as the worst pain he had ever felt ripped through his body. Zero fell to the ground as every muscle in his body was broken down on an atomic level before being rebuilt. Zero didn't know how he didn't scream out in pain, however something inside him told him he couldn't.
The constant pain that felt like an eternity caused Zero to pass out. Zero opened his eyes to find he wasn't looking at the hospital ceiling, causing him to let out a relieved breath. He quickly stood up as he read the windows that appeared.
-Notice-
Host's Muscles have been upgraded.
-Notice-
Host's Mana channels have been partially fixed.
Zero didn't love the bland windows, so he did an assessment himself. First he checked his Mana channels, finding they all had cooled by about a third. The next thing he did was check his muscles, finding the only part of him that wasn't covered, His arms, had grown and now had visible muscle on them. 'I can't tell if the pain was worth it...' Zero sighed and was about to start moving further into the Zoo when another window appeared.
-Notice-
The event has begun. All Hosts will fight to capture and hold one of three possible areas within the event area. The Host that holds the point the longest will receive a reward.
Zero's head suddenly snapped to the left, his mind telling him to go in that direction. 'If I'm going in that direction, then the point is the Domed area?' Zero sighed before turning, picking up the duffle bag, and quickly making his way back to the Domed area. For a moment, he thought about moving through the wall to the utility closet again, however he knew most if not all of his Mana Channels would break.
As Zero made it to the Insect exhibit, he could hear people yelling and multiple things crashing around. 'Looks like the Hosts are already fighting. Zero quickly creeped to the door way and peaked in to find a large stone Buddha creating absolute havoc before what Zero could only describe as chains shot out from somewhere he couldn't see to wrap around three of the buddha's four arms.
With what looked like little effort, the Buddha yanked the chains and a human body went flying into the air before crashing through the dome. 'How is that fair? That stone Buddha is over 15 feet tall and has four arms, and you want a tiny human to face it? Not happening.' Zero would admit he had a strong urge to attack others, but he wasn't stupid enough to try and face that while having to watch out for other Hosts.
