I finished my first customer, and it's all good. I was now cleaning the room, getting ready for my next customers while my two assistants lazed around on the other side of the gate instead of doing their job. I took the chance to check up on everything I profited from the session.

There were a few interesting notifications to address later. eight hundred points minus a hundred that it costs to open the gate, which means 700 points of profit, not bad.

There are some interesting items in there. The one I'm most interested in is the Ten-Tailed Fox Bloodline, it would make me into a being like Yasaka but that's a lot of points to spend for the current me.
'One question, Horus... if I spend Chaos Points is that reduced from my progress to the next rank as a demigod?'
[Yes, to rank up you have to spend all of your chaos points].
Damn, that's harsh. I'm going to have to work a lot but there is something good in this, that predator skill means I won't necessarily have to take customers to get Chaos Points, but that skill alone already costs Chaos Points.
'Once I rank up, will I have any advantage?'
[Aside from an increase in strength and energy, the system capacity will also increase, it is currently at 90% mostly due to the Avatar of Fortune, which means we can only open one gate at a time. Once you rank this should decrease by 50% which can be used for other procedures, such as keeping active barriers and other skills, opening multiple gates, etcetera].
'Keeping barriers?'
[If you've noticed, you don't have to directly involve yourself in the creation of interdimensional gates, this is just one of Septem Diebus' skills, it is an advanced spatial spell Lady Elysir left behind, it would take you thousands of years to learn it but that's not necessary due to the Septem Diebus. Once the capacity increases it will be able to undertake many tasks passively for you, such as summoning and controlling them for your sake, for example].
'Like controlling an army for me, something like that?!' I was starting to get thrilled with the possibilities but at the same time, I'm sure everything has a cost.
[Yes, it is very versatile depending on your needs. It could keep a barrier working to protect a specific location, it could use skills that belong to you in other individuals... it works for your sake using the laws of fate, even if you don't notice. That is why Lady Elysir called it a 'miraculous artefact' even by her standards. Of course, even if those procedures are automatic, they are still subjected to Chaos Points which are in essence; your energy, if you don't have Chaos points, the Septem Diebus can't work with freedom].
'That's all good to know, so I just have to keep feeding it. I want to purchase that skill, Predator, I got this one from Solution, right?'.
[That's correct, this skill belonged to her but it was adapted for you. Are you sure you want to acquire it?].
'Yup, it will be useful, it is an investment~'.
[10699 CP -> 9699 CP].
[Skill Predator has been added to the list of active skills].
I licked my lips with new ideas on how to use that skill. It is a thousand chaos points but if what Horus said is true, then I can magnify the implications of this skill by using the Septem Diebus, I only need to know how to command it, so far it seems to be acting independently but if I was to, for example, be in between a crowd of dead Youkai.
'What if I command it to predate on all of them at the same time, is that possible Horus?'.
[It is possible so long as there is enough system capacity to accomplish the task].
I will have to run some tests but first, I need to take in some more customers, if I want things to work out I'm going to need a lot of chaos points, a plethora of them.
"Ray-sama we're back!"
"That was an interesting place".
As I dwindled in my own thoughts, my beloved assistants walked out of the door and it stopped shining in gold, they managed to close that door on the other side or whatever. They stretched and noticed that I had already cleaned everything.
"Yasaka..." I addressed my pet first.
"Hmn?~"
"Were you okay? I thought you were unable to leave Japan" I pulled her sleeve to check her up, it seemed like nothing went down on the other side, I did the same to Ely, they were spotless.
The kitsune blushed for me and held my wrist softly, "This was a little experiment for me, Ray-sama~ to be honest with you I have already travelled out of Japan a few times in the last three years. I already knew I could leave even though I'd feel a bit weaker. What I wanted to know was if I could leave this world. It seems I can but I felt something odd".
"What is it?"
"I felt myself disconnected from Leilines, but I didn't feel any weaker I may not be sure but I think I felt stronger in that world than here, for some reason..." Her ears wiggled cutely in confusion.
"That's because of your latest mutation, you have gained a bit of authority over the sun, Yasaka" Elysir confirmed my suspicions, she was now a 'Ten Suns Tailed Fox' one would have to be a fool not to know the relations.
"What do you mean?" Yasaka asked confused.
"It means that you should be getting energy from the sun like us, isn't that right, Ely?~" I was ready to get my snack of pride, see? I have been paying attention, sweetie. I wasn't just kissing and licking you all over.
The goddess giggled and patted my head as if I was a kid.
"Hey don't do that!".
"You're right, Yasaka now has authority over the sun which means she's a being like us, albeit partly. I'll explain it to you in-depth later, we shouldn't make our next customer wait~".
I nodded, I was even hoping by the time I finished with the two remaining ones, there would be more, but I guess it is not that simple.
"If that's the case since it is already time should I make something for breakfast while you two attend to this customer~"
"Please Yasaka".
"I'll be right back, Ray-sama".
Yasaka headed downstairs to prepare something to eat while Elysir and I took our respective positions.
"It was a good choice to purchase that ability, Ray~" She remarked, she must have seen the system by now.
"Yeah, I have big plans for it. Now, Horus... please bring the next customer".
[As you wish].
...
The next customer came floating through the door until she was laid down on the floor right in front of us, unconscious.
"Eh?"
"This is unexpected"
Ely and I commented, hurriedly picking her up and putting her on the bed, it was a woman who looked like she was in her sixties but way worse with wrinkles all over, it looked like she had blonde hair but now it was so scarce, her hair was almost white. To be frank she looked like she was in her eighties.
'This is Tsunade Senju? Does the booking information say she's in her fifties though?! or could it be Tokisaki Kurumi, no that makes even less sense'.
[This is Tsunade Senju, she's unable to move. As per the agreement all of the 'chakra' she accumulates for the next two years belongs to you, Ray. Her charka reserves are completely depleted and she's unable to move, so I had to carry her through the passage personally].
"Are you sure she isn't dead?!"
[No, she's alive but undergoing a great deal of stress, please do your best].
