"Thank you for spending your time with me, Raiga-kun. It was very interesting..." Himejima-san trailed off as she and stood outside the entrance of her home before she pulled me into a hug, with my left arm squished in her breast "And it made me want you even more that I just want to take you right now~ Ufufufu~"

...She really knows how to make awkward.

"Like I said, I had some free time today but I have to go back home now." I said, pulling myself away from the woman before turning around and began to walk down the stairs of her home "Until next time, Himejima-san."

I stopped at the middle when I saw someone I didn't expect to arrive here, Rias Gremory. The reason why I didn't expect her here is because I thought that she has other things to do then to visit a shrine... But considering what happened here earlier, it certainly explains her arrival.

"Did the Angels gave you something?" The red head asked when she was a few steps away from me, which her head directly facing where my crotch is... I'll just ignore that part.

"No, mostly for personal reasons." I replied with a shrug, getting a curious expression from the Gregory heiress "I was the person that rejected their offer, and they respected my reasons. Besides, Hyōdō needed a good gift more then I do."

"I see..." Gremory nodded in understanding. Looks like she's understanding that I already have enough power to fight off many enemies, with the [Dying Will Flames] allowing me to very versatile while my fighting style and sword style are powerful and versatile on their own right, both which can be enhanced with the [Dying Will Flames of the Sky] "If that's you're decision, then I'll respect it as well."

...I really wanted to pint out that she hardly gave me any choice on anything involving with her, with being forced to role play as Gremory's servant to battle Phenex after her engagement with him was revealed, with me being the main factor on why we won that battle.

Shrugging, I continued on my way down the stairs and made my way back home. I've got nothing else to do, so might as well go home. Plus, I'm wondering what clothes they bought. While I'm not a fan of buying them, I wouldn't mind seeing my lovers in clothing that makes them look cute or sexy-

-?

My attention was drawn towards 1 of the shops that I've just pasted by. It looks like a simple antique, but I feel like there's something more then meets the eyes at it... Now that I thought about it, I've never seen that shop before when I was passing through this street for the past week or even this morning.

This is rather suspicious, at how it wasn't there before and why I'm drawn to it... Well, I'll never figure it out unless I go inside plus the girls are probably still going shopping.

"Welcome to the Abyss Auction!" A voice greeted me the moment I entered the shop. I was surprised that this little place is the Abyss Auction in Japan, but it actually made sense why I'm drawn to this place. This is the place where [The Gamers] can get new or trade their Skills for new one, and considering that I have [The Gamers] powers, it goes hand in hand "How can I help you?"

Looking at the source, I blinked when a familiar appeared within my line of sight... What the hell is Irisviel doing in a place like this, as the manager of this Abyss Auction?

"I have a few questions that I want to know." I asked, choosing to question why she's here for another time. I have more pressing things to know then that "Is this place located in Japan?"

"No. The Abyss Auction is within its own Pocket Dimenson, completely unnoticable by any being other then people that aren't [Players] like yourself." The Irisviel look-a-like said after shaking her head "Because of this, time freezes from the world you can from whenever you enter the shop but you won't gain any [EXP] while you're here."

...That makes sense. It would be completely cheating if you train in this place where time freezes outside. If that was possible, then [LvLing] up would be very simple and you can become insanely powerful once your outside, which would become very suspicious on how exactly did you become so strong in just a day. The [Players] term does make sense with multiple people with [The Gamer] power existing in different realities.

"Is it possible for different [Players] to come in the Abyss Auction? And if so, can they trade items or [Skills] with each other [Players]?" I asked the question that has been bugging me for a long time before I appeared in this world. There are multiple [Players] in the vast ocean of creation that can enter this shop, then it's not impossible for them to interact with each other.

"Yes to both questions. Multiple [Players] can enter the Abyss Shop and exist at the same time, while trading with each other would be more different then you might think of the word trade." The woman said, making me curious in what she meant "This shop is an auction, so they have to sell their items here before other [Players] can buy them."

Isn't that more like putting stuff for sell then trading? Whatever, it's not like I'm going to 'trade' with other [Players] as all of my stuff that I don't use are just useless junk "What's your name?"

"I don't have a default name, but I refer to myself as Lily." Lily said with a smile on her face "So, are you going to check out our items?"

I nodded in response and a pop-up window suddenly in front of me.

(Abyss Auction):

Buy

Sell

Exchange

Upgrade

Auction

Slaves

Gacha

I blinked when I saw the Gacha option... I didn't expect that to appear in the Abyss Auction, since, well, its a place where you buy, sell and trade, not a place where you trust your Luck for something. Well, let's see what it does...

Gacha

The Gacha option test your LUCK and gives you the chance to win a rare item. You can 3 free spins a week, after that it'll cost a thousand money for a spin. Good luck!

Take it for a spin? [Yes] / [No]

"Is the Gacha restricted to items in the verse where I'm living or, or does it include random things from the vast ocean of creation?" I asked Lily, wanting to clarify on what this Gacha does. It would be boring if it was the former since the only thing that's worth getting are the [Sacred Gears] since they have different abilities. The latter is more fun but very random on what to get, since there might be a power that I never heard off and it might lead to some difficulties in the future due to not understanding the power properly.

"The latter, since its more fun that way~!"Lily said with a cutesy smile on her face, while I just looked at her with deadpan eyes. Yeah, more fun for someone who doesn't understand the pain of getting bad draws... I've bought 3 boxes of Circuit Breaker packs and yet I didn't got a single copy of Borrowload Dragon!? The hell was that bullshit!?

Shaking my head to get rid of the sad and painful memories, I steeled my nerves and wished that my [Luck] would give me something good before choosing [Yes].

The words in pop-up window suddenly started to distort into a black hole, which was releasing a silver of light in the fire that began to grow and grow until it disappeared to reveal a book, before a pop-up window suddenly appeared.

Choosing Yes, the book in my hand just turns to dust and a rush of info came in crashing into my brain, along with a mild headache. I shook my head to get rid of the leftover headache that started to disappear already. Looking at the window in front of me, showing me a new Skill to the list, I read the Skill's description.

[Smithing] - Passive - LvL: 1/100 - EXP: 0%

Description: Smithing is a multi-stage process with the number of stages depending on what items are being crafted and how raw the materials are. The process can be started at any intermediate stage if the right items are obtained, but every stage requires input materials, knowledge of the build, and its own tool.

Okay, while not a useful [Skill] in combat, it'll certainly have interesting effects once I [LvL] it up to a very high [LvL]. I might be able to create [Dying Will Rings] once I reach a specific [LvL].with in the [Skill].

Now for the second roll this week... Choosing the Gacha option again and pressing [Yes] from the get go. The next thing that reveal is... A card?

I blinked when I saw it, not expecting a card to pop out from the Gacha and it wasn't just some ordinary card. Instead of the typical poker card, it has the image of a person with long pale violet hair bounded by chains. On the bottom part of the card, it says AVENGER... Wait a sec.

[Obverse]

[Class Cards] - Rank: A - Durability: Unknown - Def: Unknown

Description: Also called Servant Cards, are artifacts created for the Ainsworth Holy Grail War, a system of summoning Heroic Spirits similar to Servants. Differing from allowing a Heroic Spirit to manifest, the cards encapsulate the Heroic Spirits, used by the participants of the Holy Grail War to fight amongst each other.

This is unexpected, I didn't expect to get a [Class Card] from the [Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya] Manga, and it's the [Extra Class: Avenger], a card that never appear there with the exception of the [Fate/Grand Order] game. While unexpected, it's not unpleasant since I've always wondered why

The only thing left is to find out who is Heroic Spirit instead.

For the finale roll this week... Choosing the Gacha option one more time and pressing [Yes] from the get go. The next thing that reveal is... A pair of eyeballs? The last roll was unexpected but this one is just bizarre.

[Obverse]

[Empyrean Eyes] - Rank: A -

Description: Also called Heavenly Eyes, are a special type of [Mystic Eyes] that Musashi Miyamoto from a different reality possesses.

Special Effect: The Empyrean Eyes permits the resolution of a desired result as 'inevitable' by way of committing the entirety of the user's existence to the act of achieving the outcome. For example, once the user has decided to 'cut the opponent's right arm', said right arm will be severed by taking all and every measures. A power to take all the 'measures for the sake of achieving an objective' and 'narrowing them down to a single result'.

...Would you look at that, 2 abilities that originated from the [Nasuverse], with the [Empyrean Eyes] originally was owned by a gender flipped version of the famous Musashi Miyamoto. Well, I guess that this is rather fitting since I'm someone using a dual sword style like Musashi (My dual katana version of the [Shigure Soen Ryū] parallels to Musashi's [Niten Ichi Ryū]).

Grabbing the eyeballs, they suddenly turned to particles of light before blinding my own eyes.

Might as well see if it's possible to upgrade some of my [Skills].

Upgrades

The Upgrades option allows you to change the current [Skills] that you have into a much more powerful version of it. Upgrading a [Skills] will have different requirements for it to change, ranging from maxing the [Skill]'s LvL or paying a massive price for it.

Cost: [Obverse] at max LvL and 1,000

...Looks like I can only upgrade a few of my [Skills] that can actually be up to a higher form. I'm not really surprised that I can't upgrade the [Dying Will Flames], since they're so diverse and powerful in their own right, plus I can bring them to a stronger state by using more mana. Well, I'll pick the [Shigure Tenrai Ryu] since it's the only thing that I can upgrade plus it would be cool to see how would I act when I achieve the state of [Mushin].

*Ding!*

You have upgrade [Shigure Soen Ryu] to [Shigure Tenrai Ryu]!

...I feel like something was replaced within my instincts. It feels a bit odd, like loosing something important to you. Shaking my head, I exited the Upgrade before going to the Exchange option.

Looks like I've something very interest... Well, I'll try it out when I get back home.

So after selling some of the useless junk in my Inventory, I left the Abyss Auction and started to walk back home. I didn't bother with buying a slave since I have no interest in such a thing.

I got a lot of stuff to do in the future with the Abyss Auction, but it'll be interesting to see what I'll get in the up coming weeks.
