Chapter 31 - Oh my God! Are you serious?

"Congratulations to the host, the Devil System has successfully evolved into a Versatile System."

Then, in a burst of magical glow, the upgrade was complete. I found myself standing in the same secluded spot, but now a virtual screen materialized before me, displaying my newly enhanced attributes and capabilities.

As I gazed at the virtual screen before me, the "Shops" option stood out, drawing me in with a sense of mystery. With a mixture of surprise and curiosity, I couldn't resist clicking on it.

In an instant, the display transformed, revealing a collection of fantastical stores that I had never imagined before.

(Military Store)

(Modern Store)

(Ancient Store)

I clicked on the "Shops" option, and the virtual display shifted to show three intriguing choices: "Military Store," "Modern Store," and "Ancient Store." I decided to inquire about each one, so I turned to the Versatile System for answers.

"System," I asked, "could you please explain what each of these stores contains, one by one?"

The system responded with its characteristic digital voice, "Certainly, host. Let's begin with the 'Military Store.' This store offers a selection of weaponry, armour, and combat-related items. You can find enchanted swords, powerful firearms, and even protective gear that enhances your strength and endurance."

Fascinated, I nodded and inquired about the "Modern Store." "And what about the 'Modern Store'?"

The system continued, "The 'Modern Store' provides access to cutting-edge technology and contemporary gadgets. Here, you'll find advanced communication devices, state-of-the-art vehicles, and tools that can boost your agility and intelligence. In here are all the things that were used in your previous earth."

"That's amazing!" (Alex)

As the descriptions unfolded, I couldn't help but be fascinated. Finally, I asked about the "Ancient Store." "Tell me about the 'Ancient Store.'"

The system replied, "The 'Ancient Store' is a treasury of age-old artifacts and mystical relics. You'll find ancient skills, magical amulets, and historical items that can enhance your charisma and unlock ancient knowledge. It's a path to tap into the wisdom of bygone eras."

This new revelation filled me with a sense of wonder and excitement. It seemed that my journey with this Versatile System was about to become even more multifaceted, with a wealth of opportunities at my fingertips.

Overwhelmed by the possibilities, I eagerly clicked on the "Military Store," ready to explore the unknown that awaited me.

"Host, you can find every modern military weapon to gear present here".(System)

"Oh my God! Are you serious?" (Alex)

"Yes, my host!" (System)

'But before enjoying, let's clear all of my doubts.' (Alex)

"System," I inquired, "what exactly are these 'Exp points,' and how can I acquire them?"

The digital voice of the Versatile System responded promptly, "Host, Exp points are experience points that can be used to obtain various items from the shops. You can earn them by defeating monsters, completing quests, and ascending to higher levels."

With a raised eyebrow, I sought more information. "Defeating monsters, quests, and ascending to higher levels, you say. How does that work?"

The system elaborated, "When you encounter and defeat monsters, you'll gain Exp points based on their level and difficulty. Completing quests assigned by the system or other entities can also reward you with Exp points. Finally, as you continue your journey and face more challenges, you'll naturally accumulate Exp points and increase your rank. Your newfound attributes are the result of this process."

"Understood," I replied, beginning to grasp the mechanics. "So, the more challenges I face and the more quests I complete, the more Exp points I can earn to access items from these intriguing shops?"

"Exactly, host," the system confirmed. "Your journey will be a path of growth, where experience and achievements are the key to unlocking the vast potential of the Versatile System."

With a excited look, I nodded. "I'm ready for this journey. Let's get started."

The Versatile System seemed to shimmer when I clicked on "Ancient Store". A variety of skills and magical items appeared in front of me.

**Items:**

1. Dragonforged Sword (Legendary) - 15,0000 Exp points

2. Medkit of Regeneration (Rare) - 3,0000 Exp points

3. Invisibility Cloak (Epic) - 8,5000 Exp points

4. Potion of Strength (Uncommon) - 5000 Exp points

5. Grappling Hook (Common) - 1000 Exp points

**Skills:**

6. Master of Necromancy (Legendary) - 20,0000 Exp points

7. Elemental Magic Mastery (Epic) - 10,0000 Exp points

14. Amulet of Healing (Uncommon) - 2,0000 Exp points

15. Amulet of Luck (Common) - 5000 Exp points

I couldn't help but marvel at the vast array of items, skills, and amulets on display. The prices, denoted in Exp points, were substantial, to say the least.

"Aren't the prices of these items rather high?" I asked the system, a tinge of concern in my voice.

The system's response was surprisingly straightforward, "No."

I was taken aback by the shortness of the response, but I trusted the system's judgment.

As I contemplated my next move, my eyes fell once more upon the name displayed on the screen, "Demon King of Lust of 1st Realm." Those two words, "1st" and "Realm," seemed to hold more significance than met the eye.

Unable to contain my curiosity any longer, I inquired, "What does this Realm mean?"

The system's digital voice responded, "Host, it would be better if your wife explained it instead of me."

A wave of astonishment washed over me. My wife? What connection did she have to this Realm, and why would she be the one to shed light on its meaning? What secrets lay ahead in my journey?
