I then tap the notification box.

[Congrats me on clearing the Banner, so as a switch of Banner because you got everything good, Il give you the memory and personality gacha along with the bonus of the memories and personality from one of the strongest willed persons I've ever met. He was known as the Suicidal Battle God and made a deal with me to keep going, as he died once. So take them and this 10 minute endorphin maximizer because those memories are full of pain, blood, and battle, a lot of battle. As an added bonus for clearing gacha, you can also have my personal favorite darkness spell. You use the crystals by either crush them or inserting some Mana/Qi into it

Important information

Only use the crystals once a week, otherwise your sanity could shatter. Never, and I mean ever use a personality for more than 20 minutes. It will cause split personality disorder, something I think we don't particularly want. Remember, only one personality and memory a week]

Two small crystals and a syringe appear inside my hands, in the crystals I can see a gray haired man wearing armor like magma with a massive purple claymore in his right hand shoved into the ground. He's panting heavily while black scales are shimmering on the left side of his face, he's giving the middle finger to an unseen figure with a glimmer in his eyes showing his acceptance of death. He's quite good looking, or he would be if his face wasn't coated in blood.

I then find I'm missing a spell so I double check my memories and find it's missing, so I then open up my grimoire inside and start flipping through the pages. Around the middle of the book, a new spell appears around the center of the book. I then draw the circle inside my room.

As soon as the circles done all the color in the room gets lighter, and the darkness feels like an expansion of myself. I try moving it, and a massive tentacle of darkness comes out of the wall and grabs the can of beer I forgot to throw away and crushes it, then throwing it in the trash.

After the first cast, I try something stupid, I try casting the spell in my shadow and it surprisingly works. I can now store spells inside my shadow and launch them whenever I need. I try using the revised darkness tendrils, and it works just fine, even when I'm moving. To say this spell was unfair would be an understatement. I have my next course of action planned out, I need throwing knives.

"Hey do you know any places with throwing knives?" I'm shouting this loud enough for her to hear, but not enough for someone outside to hear.

"Sure, go to the weapon shop near the closest brothel"

"Headed out in about an hour then, want anything?"

"Nope, I'm good" I then stop shouting a take one of the crystals into my right hand and put some Mana into it.

A flash of memories pass by me so I'll only mention the most notable ones. The start being him training in a cave, to then losing his master while escaping the cave. A corpse of what I'm assuming is a demon, meeting a princess, training some soldiers, drinking with other people, meeting his wife, fighting more demons, his eventual failure to stop the summon, causing the death of everyone he cares about and it finally returns to the scene at the start of the crystal.

I find that I can now use weapons more proficiently, and I managed to get my hands on a Mana based martial art. It just used Mana inside the body using circles to boost physical prowess. I then use the personality crystal.

I don't really know how to explain this, but I feel like the best example would be having a sixth finger. You just know how to use it, but you can't explain it. After that I walk outside the shop again.

I walk into the weapon shop and find it lined with swords, knives and other old weaponry, but no actual firearms. I find a section of the store lined with throwing knives, So I take 20 of them and put them on the counter.

I put the knives on the table and he takes his hands out from under the separator and types a few numbers in, I then swipe my card and walk away.

While I'm walking back, I can hear a few fights in the distance, but it's not really my problem. While I'm walking back to my shop, I can hear some laughing. It's not malicious, it's the type of laughter you hear from friends playing together.

I walk inside and see a group of 6 girls playing Cultivators Chaos on one of my tables. I can recognize Bianca and Marcia, but I've never seen the others.

"I spit on his boot" one of them says this and they start giggling. At least they're not murderous hobos, but whatever it's not my game.

I go into my room and start playing some HHG, they're to loud for me to focus enough to make new spells and cultivation is a no go. What feels like 40 minutes later, I hear a loud voice outside my shop.

"Time to pay up you little shit" I can then hear some screaming and people running, probably to the nearest room, and that happens to be mine. I put the scythe on my back and put a gun on a holster while walking outside.
