[❄️❄️❄️]

Next morning

"Ugh...What am I gonna do?" Zenkichi muttered as he closed the gates to his house and walked on the road heading towards the school. "I don't know how I'm going to do this date with Nabeshima-senpai, without looking like a fool."

He tilted his head, in deep thought. And said, "Should I ask for advice? But who? Mom's out, there's no way in hell I'm asking her for advice when she's still single after more than a decade of separation with the old man."

...

Hitomi stopped on her way towards her workplace with a eerie, blank expression as a inky darkness creeped up from behind her head.

"...Why do I have the sudden urge to murder my child?" She said, with terrifying words and calm voice that didn't fit her innocent loli face.

....

Zenkichi paled, feeling a sudden intense chill in his spine. He looked around to find anything that looked anything remotely responsible for this sudden bad feeling he was getting.

"...What the hell was that?" Completely bewildered, Zenkichi shook his head.

"Shiranui and Medaka are out with the exact same reason."

'And that I don't want either of them ruining this because of their respective reasonings; Shiranui would do out of shits and giggles while Medaka would do it because of...actually, I don't actually know. But I just have a gut feeling it'd be a very, very idea to talk to her about this.'

"I really need to get a guy friend." His lips twitched and hung his head down in self-pity.

A lot of guys would be envious having girl friends, you know what I mean, but they haven't truly understood the loneliness of a man with no brothers to talk to and hang around with.

'Should I just go ahead and purchase a computer to play some Call of Duty, League of Legends, Among Us and other games that can help socialize me with others beyond my schoolmates? With my title as the Dragon Warrior and the Demonic Hound, it's pretty much impossible for me to find a true guy friend to hang out with.'

...Why does he have a feeling that he forgot about someone?

[Ding! You have gained two new titles!]

[Admin of the Multiversal Chat-Group: As the names says, you are the admin of a mysterious and powerful group chat. This title grants you the passive ability to insta-read any messages and have the right to change everything in the group chat; all locked options have been unlocked.]

[Man from Another World: You are from another world in the perspective of the people who calls you this title. This title grants you the ability to learn any skills from another world instantaneously and you would sometimes give off a mysterious, aloof aura whenever a otherworlder sees you.]

"Damn..." Zenkichi said as he raised his head up. With raised eyebrows he stopped in his tracks to school, in a small road in between houses, pleasantly surprised at the sudden system screen appearance and put the thoughts of earlier to the side.

"The first one is a good enough surprise, as it means I have access to gift exchange so I can ask any of them for expensive stuff as they're from the past, future and simply another world entirely. But the last one..." Zenkichi's lips curled up into a smirk and clenched his empty hand, barely containing the intense excitement he was feeling. "It's a total game changer."

Takachiho? Naze? Whatever the hell kind of group they got backing them up couldn't possibly handle something that this world hadn't shown to have...magic! Or Ether! Whatever that stuff in Time Cat B-cuber or Rebecca uses that makes them mechanical wizards.

Without any hesitation, Zenkichi promptly pulled out his phone and started texting.

[Lucky Devil: Hey guys! I have something to ask of you all.]

[Sun Hashira ☀️]: Oh! What questions will you ask, mister Lucky Devil?

[Time Cat B-cuber 🐱]: Fire away, Admin!

[Blue Devi Deku]: Good morning, everyone.

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: Sure

[Last Master]: Good morning!

[Lucky Devil]: Well, it's not much of a question but a favor. Can any of you send some martial arts books or magic skills through gift exchange? I'll pay you guys back in any way except money, cause I'm a broke ass bitch.

[Sun Hashira ☀️]: I have to ask my master first if I can....gift you?? The Water Breathing Style. But I'm currently at an important mission so it might take a few days. I'm sorry, Lucky Devil. As for payment, I do not need anything as of right now.

[Blue Devi Deku]: Hmm. I could try and get some magic books for you but it'll take a few hours. No need for payment as well!

[Time Cat B-cuber 🐱]: Sorry but I don't have anything of the sort😓 I know about Ether Gearists and that they use Ether Gear but I don't have anything that can help you acquire those powers, I hear that they're born with it as well. Though I can gift

[Last Master]: Sure! Hold up, I'll go find a friend of mine that certainly has a variety of books about magecraft.

[Last Master]: As for a payment...Tell me, what chapter of One Piece is it right there?

[Lucky Devil]: Chapter 1028

Yup. The year is 2017 and for some reason, although the technology and other stuff remains the same that aligns with the timeline from his previous world, the manga updates were a couple years further.

[Last Master]: Deal! Send me all of them and a couple other Mangas that you recommend.

Zenkichi chuckled at the amusing transaction they were having. A few magic books for some mangas? This guy or girl certainly got their priorities straight.

[Lucky Devil]: Sure. It'll take a while though, cause I haven't bought them yet and I have something to do right now.

[Last Master]: ...Is it more important than getting magic?

[Lucky Devil]: ...

[Lucky Devil]: Give me a few minutes.

[Lucky Devil]: What about you, Valkyrie of the Human Record? If you've anything you want in exchange for some magic books or martial arts skills, then...

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: Sorry, I just went to bring in some of the things you were requesting. Here.

[Ding! You have been sent a gift!]

[Ding! You have been sent a gift!]

[Ding! You have been sent a gift!]

[Ding! You have been sent a gift!]

[Ding! You have been sent a gift!]

[You have received: 1x Beginner's Guide to Basic Magic Spells, 1x Guide to Mid-Level Magic Spells, 1x Guide to Advance-Level Magic Spells, 1x Magic Cultivation Technique, 1x Norse Mythology Magic, 1x Way of The Vikings: Gilma

Zenkichi widened his eyes and it took every fiber of his self-control to stop screaming out of the top of his lung in exhilaration.

'Finally! A truly out of this world skills! Magic!!'

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: Did you get them?

[Lucky Devil]: Uh, yes! Thank you for giving them to me.

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: As for the payment...

[Lucky Devil]: Yes, of course! Anything but money!

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: Good. Then what I want is you.

Zenkichi froze. He wasn't the only one.

'...What?'

[Sun Hashira ☀️]: Eh?

[Blue Devi Deku]: Eh??

[Last Master]: Eeehh!?!

[Time Cat B-cuber 🐱]: Kyaaa!! What a sudden twist of development!!

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: Hm? Why is everyone acting like this?

[Lucky Devil]: Well of course they're reacting like that! Don't tell me you didn't understand what you just said!

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: What I said...?

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: ...

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: So anyways, as payment–

[Everyone else in the chat]: Don't try to change the subject!

[Valkyrie of the Human Record]: 🥲

"Haaa. Geez, I know that that's not what you mean but c'mon..." Zenkichi grumbled as he rubbed the back of his head and just as he was about to chat some more he received another system screen notification.

[Do you wish to create a contract with Brunhilde, the eldest of the 13 Valkyrie sisters?]

[❄️❄️❄️]

I've got a goal with my patreon, although I haven't put it in there or was it taken off. But anyways, it's reached, I'll increase my updates by 2 chapters a day according to my schedule. That means 4 chapters a week, 2 chapters each on Tuesday and Thursday. Tedious but I'm willing to work for it! Cause I'm getting myself a laptop or pc! For college! And other very important stuff as well that involves gaming!!

Oh and I also have a poll going on in ny patreon and it's free of charge at the moment.

Goal: $10/35
