As I handed over the pile of Manga chapters over to Tenzo, I watched as the mechanic quickly left.
[ You have obtained your daily reward 'Ink influx' ! ]
[ Ink storage : 220,000 ]
As looking at the tab that appeared in front of me, I swiped it away as I called out to my editor.
"Hey Sign, So I was wondering ( QnA mode? ), if I already have domain expansion because of Sora ( The MC in TTSOTHV ), can I still get a domain?" Said Neil, targeting his question to his ever so useful assistant, [Sign].
[Even if we're not counting 'WorldLink Monolith', you still wouldn't be able to gain access because of the fact that you use ink instead of cursed energy. So unless it's a pure energy move like spirit gun or Kamehameha, You can't do nothing.
But you have your manga slots and skills for that.]
"Going on that notice... Why is everything so expensive?!"
1000 ink = 1 ink point, later on if he decided to ever use the shop function he had unlocked, He would be able to obtain already existing anime moves or new abilities that he probably normally wouldn't be able to get with his manga...
But even the cheapest ones costed around 100,000....( Ya see, I could have pulled out a calculator which I did... But I was too lazy to write anything )
[Ding!]
Following that, another customer entered... Truly a enigma though.
The man had flowing white hair, a white cloth matching his hair was also strapped to his head.
Meanwhile behind it Neil could sense glowing cyan eyes, equal in vibrancy to the sky.
"Hi buddy. Word on the street is that you sell pretty good manga." Said the white haired enigma which Neil recognized as Gojo Satorou, the current strongest before Sukuna.
"Hello, how may I help you?" Said Neil.
"Well I noticed that you only sell one manga, So I was wondering how much it costs." Said Gojo, although he wasn't as playful as he would be with other people.
He also quickly noticed that for some reason, Neil, despite being a normal person, didn't react to Gojo's blindfold, advancing any sort of 'weirdness' he felt towards the shop.
"Yep. 1 book costs 12-Yen."
"Ok. Can I get everything up to chapter 10." Said Gojo, pulling out exactly 60 yen.
Taking the Yen, he grabbed one of the few remaining books behind him before giving it to Satorou.
[Ding!]
"Thank you."
Leaving the room/shop, Neil wondered two things :
'I wonder if I could beat em?'
'Wait a second, aren't doors supposed to make a chiming noise?'

As Sora pulled out the new sword he had just obtained as a fusion between one of Yiggdrasils branches and the legendary sword known as Excalibur, He wondered for a fitting name as he faced the giant guardian of darkness that was Artemis, a monster that held flickers and signs of obtaining a deuce seed.
Flickering at Mach 10 speeds, he appeared in front of the massive female night that was made up of complete darkness from the inside, holding crystal gems for eyes.
"I'll call you..."
Swinging the blade with all of his might, It ripped the creature into a multitude of shreds...
"Eden."
( End of volume 4 )

"Man...Neil cooked."
Neil wasn't one of the type of protagonist to hide that he was the one doing his work, although if it ever came to the level of which it was too much for him to handle without him having to harm anybody, only then would he attempt to hide his identity from new readers at least.
'Hmm... I wonder how my kids are going to react to this.' Thought Tenzo, put the book away and started to activate his car ( weird wording but you should understand ).
Tenzo's kids ( Himiko and Sotsu ), were both fervent battle scalers in high school, So basically anytime he brought the manga home, they would immediately try to scale the characters, their strength, etc.
Although, Tenzo had a secret.
He looked at the card that was right next to him as he stopped on the road.

"So Sign... Quick question." Asked Neil.
[Activating 'QnA' mode]
"If I have [SoulScope] since I technically have a large understanding of [Soul Code] does that mean I'm resistant to [idle transfiguration]?"
[Correct. As you obtain more and more Manga slots, multiple features will be accommodated depending on which world you are in and have been to.
There for [Soul Code] justs acts as the soul in this case.]
"Then, if that's the case, since I gain ALL The powers of the main protagonist, does that count items?"
[Also correct. Anything that can be registered as 'the protagonist's power' Will be registered as an ability or item that the Mangaka has. So even if it's temporary as long as the protagonist is living inside of that arc, then you have that power.]
"If anything that can be counted as the protagonist's power I have, does that count plot armor?"
[...Yes... There is a reason why the Mangaka System is probably ( it is ) the best system out there. Although since you have [Luck-Mania] All you're doing is just increasing the effectiveness of the skill]
"Then what about [WorldLink Monolith]. If I were to simply have it in its passive form —Which I do— What did act like a small domain or would it counter a actual domain?"
[If it's active then it would act like a advanced small domain, a small domain with the properties of a barrierless domain, So it would always disable a domain expansion.
If it's inside of its active form, then It would just be a domain clash except, 'barrierless domain', although technically it wouldn't really be seen as one since you're 'creating a world']
"Last question : if the protagonist loses an ability what I still have it?"
[The Mangaka system is all about creating great manga, if it really is needed then of course you can take away the protagonist's power temporarily or permanently. However in that case of scenario since the data would have already been loaded inside of your manga slots, You wouldn't lose it. You only case of scenario that would happen if if it's deemed optimal to lose that ability or to sacrifice it for something else ( In case you're manga slot is too low level to hold that many abilities )]
"Thanks for the information Sign." Said Neil, walking out of the shop after turning the sign to make it say 'closed'.

TBH I probably could have just made a QnA volume zero chapter, but I needed to increase the word count.
