5 It's Alive!!...??
Looking around at the place he suddenly found himself in, Rai noticed that he was on some type of transparent platform. When he looked down he was able to view his entire [Inner World] as if he was in the sky above it. Looking around the platform, he saw that there were four doors, one in each direction, as well as a small sphere on top of a podium in the center.
Walking over to the sphere, he reached out and placed his hand on it, which caused a screen to appear.
Rai: "Hmm…It's my status screen. Although I can still view it normally without using this device, the device seems to act as some form of 'key'…the question is, a key to what?"
Believing the answer to his question lied within the other doors, he slowly looked around the platform at each of the doors and read the name atop of each.
Rai: "…Vault…Shop…Library…Guild…does this mean the system functions turned into physical areas? Vault must be the Inventory function. Shop is the shop nothing new, Library must be related to my skills, and guild would be sort of like a guild hall? Similar to my status I can access those area's without going directly into them, yet being able to have an actual area to walk into I guess is nice."
Deciding to check out the Vault as it was the one he had the least amount of questions on, Rai placed his hand onto the door causing it to light up with runic markings.
Once the light reached its peak, the door split into two halves down the center before opening inwards.
With the door opened, a flood of blinding light seemed to escape the room causing Rai to squint.
Inside the room, was an organized treasure room the end of which could not be seen. There was everything from weapons and armor, to cooking utensils and food. The amount of items within the treasury was practically unlimited and never ending. The only thing missing was the gold coins he knew were in the treasury somewhere.
Rai found his answer when he looked at the wall next to the door. There were large digital numbers made up of runes on the wall displaying two sets of numbers. The value on the top read, 53,040,500,000 - [ET] Gold which he knew was the amount of gold he possessed from his wishes, quests, and from before he died. The second value was just a series of incomprehensible runes which seemed to suggest that the vault possessed an unlimited supply of gold.
Rai: "That will come In handy…"
Deciding to spare his brain cells from attempting to understand something which is infinite, Rai exited the vault and headed towards the next room, which was the Shop.
Although he was expected it, Rai was once again speechless when he entered the shop. Similarly to the vault, it seemed to possess items that stretch on infinitely. On the wall next to the door, was a list similar to how his normal shop feature worked, displaying numerous items that he could purchase. What was good about this room was that if he found something in the shop that he was curious about, he could come into this room and summon said item before him, allowing for him to view the item before purchasing it. This would allow him to hone down his future purchases to ensure he doesn't buy something he would later regret.
Exiting the Shop he headed towards the Library next, this time with a clear head. He already assumed what it would be like based on the previous rooms so when he saw the bookshelves which seemed to piece into the sky and when on further then his eyes could see, he wasn't surprised.
It seemed as if the library took all of the books he could have purchased from the shop, and placed them into a separate room together with the skills he could have purchased, now in book form as well.
This way there was a distinction between 'owned items' in the treasury, 'purchasable items' in the shop and 'obtainable knowledge' in the library. All of which Rai felt was a smart idea, because if everything was in one place it would only grow more confusing as it already was.
Heading towards the side of the door where he knew something would be based off the last two locations, Rai wasn't surprised to see something similar to a status screen. What he was surprised about, however, was the fact that this status screen seemed to have been outfitted to assist him in his skill and class mergers.
Prior to this Rai had partially ignored his skills due to how long the list was. He not only had all of the skills from his Samurai class, but also the ninja, swashbuckler as well as his five subclasses and racial skills. He had done some initial merging, but had put it on pause when he was talking with Akatsuki.
Believing that this was a good chance to mess around with his skills, Rai got to work.

Deciding he was happy with how his new skills turned out, especially now that he didn't have to deal with so many skills, Rai figured it was time to check out the last area.
Walking into the guild door, Rai noticed that he had appeared inside of a large open area. The area resembled a plaza of sorts and could easily fit over 10,000 people. Walking around the area, Rai noticed that it seemed like the guild section was actually located underneath the city, yet it still possessed its own artificial sky and sun. There was many different facilities which would be necessary for a large scale guild, as well as some entertainment and shopping areas. Overall it resembled a city unto itself.
Rai: "I guess its suggesting I create a guild of my own, yet seeing as I cant bring people inside of this world, maybe it there is something inside of the shop that I can use? I guess only time will tell. For now I have finished looking around so its about time I returned to the real world."
Figuring he had already achieved what he had set out to do, Rai was about to give the mental command to exit the [Inner World] when he suddenly heard someone call out to him.
???: "Wait!"
Slightly surprised, Rai looked around the platform yet couldn't see anything other then the four doors and central podium.
???: "Papa don't leave!"
Rai: '…Papa?'
Hearing the voice once more, although he was confused by the way it had addressed him, he was at least able to pinpoint that it was coming from the Vault door.
Walking inside of it once more, Rai didn't see anything different then the last time he was in here.
Remembering something Rai suddenly felt like an idiot for having forgotten about it in all of his excitement.
Giving a mental summoning command, two swords appeared in front of him. They were his [Twin Divine Dragon Katanas].
Rai: "Are you the one talking to me?"
Feeling the swords vibrate slightly, Rai listened closely as the voice spoke once more.
???: "Yes, papa! My names Hikari!"
Rai noticed that it was the same voice that had originally called out to him. This time with him holding onto the swords he was able to pinpoint that the voice was coming from his black bladed katana which he had named Hikari.
Rai: "So you are the weapon soul of these katana's?"
Hikari: "Hehe papa is silly! Of course not!"
Confused Rai was about to ask when he suddenly heard another voice which originated from his white bladed katana.
???: "Muuu…"
Hikari: "Sis its your own fault for always being so quite you know?"
???: "B…but…"
Understanding now what was going on, Rai felt guilty for not thinking clearly enough about the situation.
Everything that had happened must have caused his judgment to be lacking. Something which he knew he needed to correct in the future. Although he was able to keep calm in most situations, being able to create and shape an entire world, before being forced to contemplate infinity when viewing the first three doors really caused him to stop thinking about things.
Rai: "I'm sorry Hikari, and Hizuki. I didn't mean to forget about you guys, I just had a lot on my mind is all."
He spoke in a sincere voice as he honestly felt guilty about it.
After his words sounded out, his sword Hikari was shrouded in a bright light before disappearing from his hand. Now In front of him stood a young girl of about 3 or 4 years old. She possessed long white hair with a black bow in her hair. She wore a black princess like dress with white frilly laces at the hem.
Once she finished her transformation, she looked up at Rai with bright golden eyes before smiling brightly and saying.
Hikari: "Hehe! It's okay papa I forgive you. Right Sis?"
After hugging his leg tightly, the blonde haired girl turned and started poking the flat side of his white bladed katana.
Hizuki: "E…Ehhh? S...stop poking me Ari…muuu!"
After saying that, she too was shrouded in a glow, this time it was a dark, silvery glow reminiscent of the moon in the night sky.
In place of his katana now stood another young girl of about 3 or 4 years old. She looked very similar to Hikari yet instead she possessed dark black hair, with a white bow on her head. She wore a white princess like dress with black frilly laces at the hem. She gave her sister Hikari a look of betrayal with her silver eyes watering slightly. All in all the two looked like twins were it not for their hair, eyes, and different clothing.
Rai: 'So Hikari seems like the bright bubbly older sister type. While Hizuki seems more like the shy and bashful younger sister. Despite them being twins of the same age. I wonder why their personalities are so different? Also why do they call me 'papa'?''
Deciding to just ask them the things he was confused about, Rai interrupted the sister's banter.
Rai: "Hikari, Hizuki, why do the two of you have such contrasting personalities? And why do you call me 'Papa?'"
Hikari turned her attention away from her sister and looked at her 'papa' with her bright glowing eyes that seemed to contain a hint of mischief and humor.
Hikari: "Hehe silly, Papa is Papa, obviously! Papa made Hizuki and me like this when you created us, did you forget?"
Hizuki: "Muuu…Papa is very forgetful…"
Hizuki also chimed in, seemingly not having forgotten about him 'forgetting' about her.
Rai: "…"
Rai: 'She sure holds a grudge…okay so lets go over this. Hikari said I made them…this probably suggests that the image I had of the two swords played a part during the creation of the [Weapon Soul]'s. I had named the black blade 'Hikari' because I had felt that despite the blade being black in color, it radiated the brightest of the two. As for the white bladed one, I named it 'Hizuki' because I felt it shone with a different kind a light then 'Hikari'. It was more of a deeper and mellow light rather then a bright radiant one. They reminded me of the sun and the moon. With Hikari representing the sun's ability to brighten up the darkness, and Hizuki representing the moon desiring a beautiful light all its own. This must have effected their personalities when I created souls for the blades.'
Having understood that he had 'created' them and that they viewed him as their 'father'. Rai had been able to clear up most of the questions he had regarding the two child blades.
Rai: "Alright you two, I'm going to head back to the real world. Do you guys want to come with me or stay inside the Vault?"
Hizuki: "Come!"
Rai "…"
Hizuki: "I…I mean…"
Blushing heavily, Hizuki grabbed the hem of her dress before running behind her sister Hikari who was smiling brightly at her embarrassment.
Hikari: "Sis, I know you want to spend time with Papa and all but no need to get so worked up, hehe."
Hizuki: "D...don't make fun of me Ari!"
Hizuki exclaimed as she started hitting her fists against Hikari's back.
Rai: 'One things for sure, they are rather adorable.'
Reaching around behind her, Hikari grabbed ahold of her sister's hand before dragging her forward, much to Hizuki's dismay.
Hikari: "We are both coming Papa! We don't like it in here that much so we want to always stay with you!"
Once more Hikari revealed her bright smile as both she and her sister were shrouded in light before two katana's appeared in their place.
Reaching down, Rai grasped the two sheathed blades as he attached them his waist with the same piece of cloth he had used to hold them when he first entered this world.
Similarly to last time, he placed Hikari on top while Hizuki was below her. Now he knew the reason as to why it had felt like the most natural position to hold them in. It was because in a way it was what the swords themselves had wanted, its just now that they had souls, they were able to tell him rather then it just being an instinctual feeling that he possessed.
Exiting his [Inner World], the first thing Rai had noticed was that it appeared as if no time had passed in the real world. Although he had believed it would be the cased due to the item's description in the shop hinting at such a thing, he was still left in wonder at the laws at work.
Turning his attention to where Akatsuki was sleeping, he noticed he probably had a little while. Changing his subclass' around slightly, Rai equipped the Chef subclass as he got to work preparing breakfast.
Rai: <'What do you girls want to eat?'>
With the girls having told him that they could communicate through their thoughts, Rai asked what they wanted to have for breakfast.
Hikari: <'Hehe! Papa is very silly today.'>
Confused, Rai asked.
Rai: <'What do you mean?'>
Hizuki: <'We…we can only take on a human form inside of the [Inner World]…'>
Pausing slight Rai thought that It made sense but he felt strangely incensed by it.
Rai: 'I guess I need to do some research into it and see if there is a way to bring them into this world as well…'
Having decided to have a look through the shop later on, Rai set a goal for himself as he silently began making breakfast once again.

Author's Notes: This will mark the end of the current chapters. Tonight I will be attempting to start writing FFS once again. I don't have a set schedule yet in terms of what chapters ill be writing one what days, and what not. I will just be writing what I what for the next few weeks until I do get a schedule down. Don't worth though, I will be aiming for at least 3-4chapters for FFS this week. Just don't expect one every day like before until I get a schedule going. As for this story BH, it is my own personal wish novel. I enjoy the world that was introduced in 'Log Horizon' even if i felt the actual anime was slightly laid back and not as grimmy or mature as i would have liked. This will be my own take on the show so i hope you enjoy my rendition.
-----------------------------
(AN-1) : You guys have no idea how annoyed i was at this status sheet. I had spend so long thinking about the skill [Absolute: Fourteen Laws of Self: SSS] as well as all of the other ones and right when i was about to finished, I accidently exited off the page without saving it. I usually write all of my stuff on a seperate programe before copying it onto here but for some reason I decided 'nah I'm good' and lost nearly 2 hours of work. Then I had to think about everything I had written because some of it was just inspiration at the time of writing it and just UGH...anyways.
-This will be his finalized status screen. Although I might combine some skills later on when he buys more, for now this is it. As stated the reason for him having so many different ones from before is because he had hundreds of skills and I didn't feel like writing them all out just to condense them in this chapter so.
-As for the [Absolute: Fourteen Laws of Self: SSS] skill. It works in a method similar to 'Forms'. There is a Virtue and Sin form for every skill. Depending on the form he is in when using the skill will depend on the effect. (EX: [Burning Heart: Wrath])
