14 First Customer

Looking around the shop, filled with wonder and excitement, if the items on the shelves have at least a fraction of their powers, then there's no doubt I could pound some asses with it in my world.

However, the question is can I bring them back with me?

"Say, can I take back the items on the shelves back in my world?" I asked the A.I seriously, with these overpowered items it doesn't matter who's overpowered beings they may be, for example, D herself, I'd be able to protect myself when they try to harm me.

My world is dangerous, that is a given and I have no delusions that I wouldn't be in danger in the future, it's only a matter of time before the shit hits the fan.

That is why, it's very important to me to know whether I can take these items out or not because if not, I'd be quite disappointed but not too much because realistically speaking there's away a 'catch' as there's no such thing as 'free' everything has a price whether you're aware of it or not.

[ Yes, you certainly can sir. ]

My eyes widened for a bit, not expecting that positive answer, however before I could feel the happiness of the possibility of owning these overpowered weapons or items.

[ However, not in the way you think. ]

Ah, there it is the 'catch', all the happiness that was about to burst out in my chest disappeared by a large margin.

But regardless it wasn't all exhausted, as there's still a possibility of me getting them.

"So, what is it then?"

[ Well, before that I'll have to explain to you how 'the shop' functions, sir as the name suggest it is a shop, a place where people buy things for convince, fun or necessity, however unlike any other shop this one is unique from any others, as this shop isn't only available to the people of your world or universe, but available to the people across every conceivable dimension, or the multiverse. ]

With that explanation alone, I could already understand my 'role' in this place, however, I stayed silent as I kept listening to the A.I explanation.

[ However, aside from having a customer from different dimensions isn't what makes the shop unique, but also it has everything. When I say everything, I mean literally Even those who don't exist, and would soon to be, would appear in the shop 'catalog' and as we speak it is expanding infinitely. ]

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, this shop is amazing beyond belief, meaning with the right amount of money, you could have everything you wanted-

Wait, I see, that's how it is 'currency', since this is a unique shop, meaning it has its own unique currency and that is what I'm going to use if I ever wanted to bring those certain overpowered weapons back to my own world.

[ Now, I'm going to explain your 'role' in the shop, despite being technically the owner of this place, you don't own any of the items that exist in the shop catalog, and you have to buy them like anyone else, no exception. ]

Figures, I wasn't surprised to hear that honestly, instead, it would be alarming if I didn't, while I wasn't the brightest, I'm certainly not the dumbest.

[ But, the role of 'Owner' isn't without a perk, because whatever you buy in the shop catalog in the future would be 80% off, considering how expensive some items are in the catalog, it is a great advantage to have compared to the future customer of the shop. ]

I couldn't help but agree, meaning if I buy something that costs a million, I'd only pay less than a quarter of it.

[ Now, as for the shop 'currency', is called Multiversal Credits, or M.C for its abbreviation, for you or the others to gain it, you must convert something of value, the rarer it is the better, you could even convert your own memories, body parts or even your soul, however, while you could convert your world's currency, you would likely get a small number of Credits, basically the value is based on how powerful or important it is. ]

I blinked at that and muttered. "Seriously?"

[ Yes, but there is another thing that you need to know, sir unlike the customers, you can get Multiversal Credits without converting anything. ]

That immediately got my interest and said. "How-, no it's quite obvious at this point, it's successfully selling an item from the shop right?"

[ That is correct, you get 50% of the value of any item that you sell from a customer, meaning if they bought something that cost 1,000 M.C, you get 500 M.C. ]

Okay, that is fair, no in fact it is generous if you think about it, getting 50% of something by doing nothing aside from recommending a certain item, is a big deal.

You basically get everything and lose nothing, no wonder it's called a 'bonus'.

But, there's one more important thing to ask. "How many hours a day do I work here?"

[ There is no such a thing, you can work any time of the day if you want, as time here moves differently than your world, even if you spend thousands of years here, your world would still be the same from the time you came here. ]

Now, that's amazing I could literally set my own work time, for someone who is quite lazy like me, this is basically like my dream work, not to mention this job never gets boring, because who knows I might meet a familiar character from a different franchise.

It wasn't hard for me to accept this as my job, because everything here is for my own benefit since I didn't sign a shady contract or something.

"Alright, when do I start?" I was quite eager to fulfill my role.

[ Anytime you want sir, but first, you need to wear your uniform. ]

"My uniform…?" As soon as I spoke, a piece of a high-quality tuxedo, a tie, a pair of clean white gloves, a plain white shirt, a smart black trousers, and a black leather pair of shoes, fell right into my hands.

Oh, so this is my uniform, not bad at all.

—

After a few minutes, I wore the uniform that the A.I gave me, I looked at the mirror nearby and saw myself with a satisfied smile.

Thanks to my genetics, I'm pretty much a certified adonis, a very handsome man. It wasn't my ego speaking but simply a fact.

Suddenly I realized something and asked the A.I. "What's your name by the way?"

[ I don't have any.]

Oh, that's unexpected, if that's the case then. "How about I name you?"

[ Feel, free to do sir. ]

Then I put my fingers in my chin and started pondering, but before I could think of one, I asked. "What's your gender by the way? I need to know whether you're a she or a he."

[ Technically, I do not have a gender, sir I'm a genderless entity, however, if you want I can change into a favorable gender that you like. ]

"No, no it's fine you can choose any gender you want to be, I won't complain as you're perfectly fine with how you are."

[ Then, I would like to remain genderless for a while. ]

'What do you mean genderless for a while?' I thought, however, I shook my head, as it isn't important, and said. "I decided your name would be Blake."

It's a unisex name, so It's perfect for a genderless being like them.

[ Then, sir I shall now be called 'Blake' ]

I nodded in satisfaction. "Now, let's open the shop!"

I dramatically posed in front of nobody, and after a few moments, my cheeks burned, and said. "Blake, forget everything you just saw."

[ I do not understand, you did nothing noteworthy. ]

"It's a human thing."

[ I see, then I will forget what I saw. ]

I couldn't help but be speechless, I didn't mean for Blake to take it literally, oh well, now no one knew about the cringe pose I did, except for me.

[ Sir, the shop is now open I sent several doors across the multiverse and now, we have to wait for anyone to enter. ]

I nodded at Blake, and was about to approach the counter, however before I did, all of a sudden I heard the doorbell ring across the place, and couldn't help but shift my attention toward the door and saw a woman in red, who was bleeding all over her body, she's essentially half-dead at this point.

"...Blake, just reminding you that we are a shop, not a graveyard, this woman is literally a half-corpse, how am I supposed

to sell anything to her?"

[ Then I shall remembe- ]

"No, no forget what I just said, it's time to be a good Samaritan." Quickly approached the woman in red and started healing her with my magecraft, luckily I learned healing, or else this woman is screwed.

—

Can anyone guess who this person is?

I'll give you a clue, her name starts with S and ends with an R.

And she's from the series that starts with the title R.
