-Kofuku POV-
How long has it been since she experience something as strange as this? Well, her life was a strange thing to experience, but as a god and a pretty old one, she was pretty much used to the antics of the far shore. It was quite strange as she was wondering in her manor area with Daifuku, and she suddenly came onto a strange space in her garden area.
"What do you think honey?" I asked my shinki Daifuku who looked like a rough man, a man she had found all those years ago. "I don't know, but should we ask for assistance?" asked Daikoku who looked curious about the door himself but held back as he felt suspicious.
"Why worry! And besides who would we ask? Ebi, Bisha?" I said to him as I neared the door that was near a pond that was situated in the garden. The water was pure and could be used for purification if needed. She had her hand on the door before her hand was grabbed by Daikoku.
"Kofuku, please at least wait for me so I can be there with you" said my beloved shinki as I nodded. We both then turned the knob at once only to enter a space I would not have suspected.
It was a posh parlor of sorts, with comfy velvet couches, tables and chairs for food, and a coffee table for casual drink it seems. But what caught my attention was the man behind the counter and the items he wore.
They almost seemed like divine tools, and their aura matched design and feel of divinity. However, I also felt the distinct absence of something that always followed me here. The omens which seemed stuck to my back were away and I felt...happy. "Dai, they're gone" I whispered to him. Daikoku eye's widened and he felt some relief at the relief of her pain.
"Hello there, what would you like to buy?" asked the strange man with hesitancy. It appeared he knew who I, or we, were to some extent. He looked afraid of me, and I knew why, at least I think I did. "Bad Luck" I whispered to him as I watched him jump. It was quite funny.
Dai on the other hand, seemed interested in what the man might offer. "What do you have?" asked Daikoku. The man, whose name on the plate apparently said ' Jack Croftmen', responded with "Anything and everything".
Dai seemed not impressed but I was curious if that was true. "Hey, Mr.Jack, is it possible to look for what might interest us?" I asked him as looked to be thinking and nodded. He waved his hand smoothly and sharpley and the space molded into a door which when opened led to a room which seemed to overflow.
They were ushered inside and the true scope of the room was lay bare before them. It was quite majestic, and I could feel the power many of these items contained. I was darting between piles and mountains of things before I was grabbed by my collar by Daikoku. "Hold on Kofuku, we should be slow and cautious" he uttered as he put me down and we made our way around the treasures. She looked at one of the weapons which looked very odd and its description scared her.
[Sword of Rupture, Ea: A sword only wielded by the Hero king Gilgamesh with three sections representing Heaven, Earth, and the underworld. A sword before swords, and was responsible for the creation of the world. Its power is nation building and the ability to sever space and return things to pre-genesis]
'What the hell!?' I thought to myself, and I look over to see Daikoku having the same reaction, as he was convulsing on the floor. I dragged him along with me and I felt something on a table nearby. 7 chess pieces glowing with different colors.
[Gnosis: Embodiements of the heavenly principles and allows one to become an Archon. Enhances the users elemental abilities, grants the power to defend ones nation, and allows one to summon masses of elemental power. Is powered by the vault. Other abilities must be discovered]
'I want it' I thought as I picked up the green one and I went to Mr.Jack and I put it before him, along with some books she found interesting. 'Who knew they carried books' I thought as Jack analyzed the objects Im taking. "Alright, what will it cost me?" I asked him as he held up two fingers.
" 1. A favor at my disposal that must be performed, and 2. Unfettered access to the outside" he said. It felt like a small price for me to pay, and he seemed friendly enough to befriend so I agreed and invited him for tea sometime and I left.

'Jesus Christ I made it' I thought as I saw the god of poverty make her way out the door. I felt terrified, though the vault called me stupid as she would and could protect me from the goddess. 'Man, who thought she would pick the gnosis's ' I thought as I turned the door away and let it shut. She was a good customer, I just did not like her ability to attract omens. [Don't worry, she can't affect you in here!] said Eve as I sat down with tea in hand.
'I have a feeling my days are gonna get wierder' I thought as I persued my reading, and I even cleaned before I went to bed.

When I woke up and went inside the shop, I noticed somebody there. It was a young girl with platinum pink hair tied in twin tails. Her clothing did not match her immature look as it amounted to bakini armor and it covered nothing except the obvious areas. She made me hesitate, as her 'aura' was leaking out of her at an uncontrolled rate, as if she was emphasizing her presence as she pointed her finger at me.
"Become my subordinate!"
'What?'
