"I am back~!" Siria announced her arrival and looked around the shop. "Wow! You didn't even touch anything! I was hoping you would so that I could punish you~!" she teasingly remarked, but there was some seriousness mixed in.
Siria placed a ring on the table and looked at Ken, who got up. "I got a request," he stated and took out the bracelet from his pocket and passed it to Siria, who curiously took it.
"You should have already met my sister, Aisa. Please pass this to her," Ken requested. Siria frowned, looking at the bracelet. Her eyes glowed, and a magic circle appeared in front of her eyes.
"Hmm, I had a feeling you were related to Aisa, seeing your hair and eyes, but I wasn't sure, so I didn't bring it up... But for you to bring it up and know that I met Aisa either means that you met her and she told you about me," she speculated and looked Ken straight into his eyes. "Or..." Her eyes glowed, and a magic circle appeared in front of her eye.
"Anomaly, The Strongest Player, and The Hunter of Aggressors... Why the hell do you have 3 titles? It's the first day of the game's release... And you aren't a prophet or a blessed one. So, why do you know that Aisa and I met?" Siria's seriousness was gone, replaced by absolute bafflement as she viewed Ken's status and now did not understand what was going on.
"I don't mind you looking into my status, but next time tell me," Ken bluntly stated. Siria shrugged and stared at Ken.
"So, are you going to tell me?"
"Nah, all I will tell you is that you want to use Aisa to enter the Land of Tragedy to get the forbidden spell. And I am aware that you genuinely care about Aisa, as she looks similar to your little sister who passed 3 years ago," Ken casually revealed, making Siria's face darken. A tremendous aura burst out of her and suppressed Ken, who stood his ground, not even budging.
Siria's aura increased, and her magic pressure also burst, making the store be wrecked and start to crumble. "Why do you know that..."
SHING!!!
A blade of pure mana formed and was placed right on Ken's neck, a trail of blood forming and going down Ken's neck. 'I watched the anime...' Ken thought plainly as he smiled at Siria, whose face darkened even more.
Crack!
Ken's body made a cracking sound, his bones not being able to handle the tremendous weight of the pressure that was forced on his body.
Crack!
Another cracking sound came, but Ken didn't reply. He only stared at Siria, who increased the pressure.
The pressure reached the point that it was suffocating and crushing, but Ken stood tall and only smiled, his body holding on and adapting. His first wish to be adaptive was playing its role even in VR.
Suddenly, the pressure spiked, and Ken was nearly brought down to his knees but managed to keep standing. His smile turned into a grin; he didn't break eye contact with Siria.
The pressure disappeared suddenly, and they stood there staring at each other. "...I won't ask anymore... but tell me what this bracelet is," Siria gave in and held up the bracelet.
"It's a danger tracker. If Aisa were to fall into any kind of danger that may endanger her life or possibly traumatize her, I would be alerted," Ken answered. Siria nodded; she then threw the ring she had brought at Ken, who caught it.
"It's a space ring. It has all your coins and your armor; keep it," Siria stated as she took her seat on the countertop. "And... sigh... if you got any good items, I will buy them from you," she added and looked away, her eyes a little down.
"Hmm, sure." Ken turned and made his way out, leaving the bag behind. He exited the shop, but before closing the door, he looked at Siria seriously. "Don't tell Aisa about me being here or too much about the blessing; she is naive but very curious as well," Ken warned and left.
In the now destroyed and messy shop, Siria stared at the door. Moments passed, and she let out a sigh.
"Reversal," she chanted, and everything slowly started to restore itself back to how they were, even the cracks on the floor and wall.
Everything returned back to how it was. She looked at the bag, and with a wave of her hand, the bag disappeared. "Just who the hell are you..." she coldly muttered as she gripped the bracelet.
Meanwhile, Ken was on his way out of the city again, not taking a break. "Status," he called out, and his in-game status popped up.

-----------------
The pressure from Siria made Ken's power level go up. "Well then, if this gives me status, then isn't it a little hole in the system that I can abuse to get stronger?" he muttered in amusement as he stopped just before the city gates.
"Show me the classes," Ken commanded, and a screen showing the list of classes popped up.

"And of course, this game is stingy when it comes to information about anything," Ken remarked as he checked out the Monster Hunter class.
Another in-game screen popped up, and this time it was the Class upgrade.
----

Ken stared at the four promotion classes with scrutiny. He couldn't get the class information without picking a class, making this difficult.
"Tch, Monster Slayer," he picked a class blindly.

"Better than I expected," Ken muttered as he scanned his new status.
