Chapter 44 - Local Shop

Zero looked at the amount of time each of them takes to complete, finding the Lord Grade Upgrades were unbearably long. 'Window, is there a way to hasten the time it takes to complete an Upgrade?'

-Notice-

Upgrade completion times can shorten or lengthen depending on the Hosts current body. There are potions that directly quicken the process, as well as potions that relax the body, which quickens the process as well.

Zero nodded. 'Window, show me the prices for both potions mentioned in previous Window.

-Notice-

Zero looked and noticed that there were hundreds of potions with the similar effects of the Body Relaxation Potion, and the pricing was all the same as well. Zero closed the Window, figuring he had a semi safe area to use for the two hour processes. It was currently early in the morning, so he could use the two Tokens and they would be long before morning. 'Window, I wish to claim my souls.' Zero reached into the Window that appeared, the souls once more rushing up his arm and into his chest.

-Notice-

Host has claimed <57895>. Host currently has <81036> souls.

-Notice-

Host has reached the required amount of souls. has been permanently unlocked. Store Function, has been permanently unlocked.

Zero was interested in the shop function, however he focused on the information first. 'Window, how do Sponsors get their names? And what stops Sponsors from ratting on other Hosts?'

-Notice-

Sponsors get their names through effort or birth right. Higher forms of beings are more commonly a side effect of their birth right.

-Notice-

Sponsors must pay a fee to part information onto there sponsored Hosts. The more important the information, the higher the fee.

Zero figured the window was telling him that the price for ratting would be enormous, even for a Sponsor. 'Window, open up the shop.' The window appeared, showing him the five options, only this time there was another option bellow the rest. Zero clicked , multiple Windows appearing around him. When he looked to his left and right, he found that the five large Windows were wrapped around him in an 180 degree view. The windows weren't overlapping, allowing him to get a clear view of each.

The first one on the left showed a completely clear Window, the only thing on it was faint outlines of squares. Another Window appeared above the five, this one having writing on it.

-Notice-

Welcome Host to your local shop stall. Through this stall, a Host is able to sell items to other Hosts in their surrounding area. The farthest Window on the left is were items the Host has put up for sale can be seen. The second Window on the left is were you will be able to describe and set the price for your product. This Window is also were the Items the Host wishes to sell will go into. The middle Window will show current Shop prices, allowing the Host to compare there costs to the set prices of the shop. The far right Window is another area to view the products you have put up for sale. The second window on the right is were the Souls will come out of once an item is bought.

Zero looked at each of the windows, before reaching down into his left sock and taking out the Token of Lowest Grade Poison. Zero pushed his hand with the token in it into the second left window before willing the token to be taken. Zero brought his hand back out, a picture of a Token with a test tube on it appearing on the Window.

Description-???

Price- souls

Zero tapped on the Window, the two sets of question marks slowing slightly. Zero looked at the middle Window before speaking to it through his thoughts. 'Show me Lowest Grade Potion of Poison.' The Window suddenly glowed before multiple squares with the same tokens appeared. 'Window, can you show me which one I specifically have?'

-Notice-

Host can pay <3020> souls to find out which Poison is in the Token.

Zero accepted the offer and read the windows that appeared.

-Notice-

<3020> souls have been used to buy information. Host currently has <78016> souls.

-Notice-

The poison the Token the Host is in possession of is bone deterioration Poison.

Zero looked back at his Windows and willed it to show him the poison, finding the lowest grade cost 23,000 souls. Zero smiled before turning towards the Window and targeting the description. 'This poison is called Bone Deterioration Poison. It will rapidly exhaust the target and will slowly eat away at the targets bones.' The words he thought were put directly into the description part of the window. Next he went to the price and once more spoke the number he wanted it to be. 'Set the price to 17,000 souls.'

The window blinked and the Token's information square completed. Zero smiled before willing it to move to the far left window. The Square was sucked into the second window, before it suddenly expanded in the first square on the far lefts Window.

Zero closed the shop while asking the Window another question. 'Window, How far do Hosts have to be from me to access my Shop?'

-Notice-

Current distance the Hosts shop reaches is a two mile radius. The Host is able to buy Tokens to upgrade there Local Shops distance from the Shop.

Zero closed the Windows once more before reaching into his pocket, clutching onto the three Tokens. With a deep breath, Zero willed both the Muscle Upgrade Token as well as the Mana Channel Upgrade to be used. There was a deceptive moment of peaceful calm before the pain washed over Zero's body. Zero knew that being unconscious could quicken the process, so he didn't fight it as the pain caused him to loose consciousness.
