Imperishable Night (Part 3)

With a swift motion, Richard used his long ranged teleportation technique from gojo's mastery over lapse blue, disappearing from his current location and reappearing outside Eientei

As he gazed up at the imposing structure before him, he took a deep breath and prepared himself for what lay ahead.

Richard: "They wont attack me on sight right?"

Despite his uncertainty, Richard knew he had to approach the situation with caution.

Richard: "How am I supposed to explain my powers to Eirin?"

Richard clears his throat to prepare doing a silly voice to replicate the scene where he explains how he suddenly has powers

Richard: "Hi Eirin!, sorry I left here with no notice for a year, please bring the real moon back because my sudden magic powers can make a barrier to completely hide Eientei from people you don't want to see it, so there is no problem!"

Richard couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity at the situation he found himself in and He found it hard to explain the situation without sounding like he is insane

Richard: "Damn it! How am I meant to do this? 

*sigh*

Richard: "I guess I will just wing it..."

With a deep breath to steady his nerves, Richard stepped forward towards the entrance of Eientei before immediately stopping in his tracks.

Richard: "Wait..."

Richard: "Can I even make the barrier?"

Richard: "System, how many points is it to make a barrier that blends whatever is inside of it to the outside environment except for some people I want to be able to see it?"

[User Input Registered]

[Calculating...]

[Done!]

[Whitelist Concealment barrier (S+) is available for purchase for 200,000 troll points]

Richard's heart sank as he processed the information from the system. The barrier he needed to create was damn expensive!

Richard: "200,000 troll points... why is it so expensive?"

Richard puts his hand behind his head to scratch an itch while coming to a realisation

Richard: "Its not like I have a choice, plus I will still have 800, 000 all to myself"

 With a deep breath, he made up his mind.

Richard: "Alright, I'll do it. I'll purchase the Whitelist Concealment barrier."

[Understood]

[Purchasing...]

[Done!]

In a near instant, A shimmering field of energy enveloped Eientei, blending it seamlessly into the surrounding environment.

Richard: "Wow, its really looks like there is just a bunch of trees over there"

[System Notification!]

[Please enter the Whitelist]

As he received the system notification. He realized he needed to specify who should be allowed inside the barrier and who should be kept out.

Richard: "Who should I whitelist..."

Richard: "There is a lot of people I want to be able to see Eientei

Richard was in deep thought for a couple moments before he came to a realisation

Richard: "System, can I whitelist a group of people instead of specifying each individual?"

[User Input Registered]

[Processing...]

[Done!]

[Automatic Group Whitelisting A+] is available for an additional 20,000 troll points.]

Richard furrowed his brows at the additional cost but quickly weighed the benefits of group whitelisting.

Richard could not help but feel like he was being played by the system for troll points

Richard: "I'm definitely getting scammed... but I just want this incident over already"

Richard: "Alright, I'll buy it!"

[Understood]

[Purchasing...]

[Done!]

With the transaction complete, Richard felt a sense of relief. Now, he could proceed with the barrier activation without the hassle of individually specifying each person.

Richard: "Alright, let's get this done."

Richard puts his hand in front of the blue hovering interface, he then pressed some transparent blue buttons to get the the group whitelist feature

[Enter Group To Whitelist]

As Richard faced the blue interface, he pondered which group of individuals he should whitelist. There were many factions and groups in Gensokyo, each with its own members and affiliations.

Richard: "So many to pick from..."

After a moment of contemplation, he decided on not thinking too much about it and just going with something simple

Richard: "No need to think too much about it"

Richard: "System, whitelist everyone who does not want to bring harm to Eientei or their residents"

[User Input Registered]

[Processing...]

[Done!]

With the command given, the barrier shimmered with energy, and revealed Eientei to Richard since he has no harmful intentions towards it.

As the barrier shimmered and revealed Eientei to Richard, he felt a wave of relief wash over him. With the barrier in place, he now had a reason for Eirin to stop the incident"

Richard: "Now with that done, now it time for the embarrassing part"

Richard took a step forward, feeling a mixture of emotions. Despite the absurdity of his situation, he was determined to stop the incident

Richard: "They wont be mad that I took a short one year break right?"

[System Notification]

[User Received Donation from {Kind_Chara} + {Devilkiller1617}]

As Richard received the system notification about the donation, he couldn't help but flintch at the suddenness of it

Richard: "That's sudden... Are all of these donations meant to catch me off guard"

Richard: "Not that I'm complaining though. Anyway System, Open them!"

[Understood]

[Opening]

[Done!]

[User Received {Knowledge} + {Adaptation S+}]

He quickly reviewed the contents of the donations, eager to see what they entailed.

Richard: "Knowledge and Adaptation S+... System open their Bio"

[Understood]

[Opening]

[Done!]

-Adaptation (S+)-

If the user is inflicted with any harmful phenomena, the user's physiology will gradually change to protect the user, the more difficult the change the longer it takes to adapt

------------------

-Knowledge-

Upon use, the user will gain knowledge

---------------

As Richard reviewed the contents of the donations, he couldn't help but feel a surge of confusion and gratitude

Richard: "Wow, These donations have really gone up in quality! But what the hell does it mean by the user will gain knowledge"

Richard: "Well, you can never have too much knowledge, right?"

With a sense of excitement, Richard activated Knowledge

[Understood]

[Activating Knowledge...]

[Done!]

*Zap*

As Richard activated the Knowledge ability, a bolt of lightning surged through him, causing him to exclaim in surprise.

Richard: "AGK!"

Richard rubbed his head where the surge of electricity had zapped him, still reeling from the unexpected jolt.

The sudden surge of electricity was unexpected, but it brought with it a small yet significant amount of information, including the realization that using the winter orb on Letty Whiterock was the intent behind that donation from a while ago.

Richard: "What the hell... why did I get hit with lightning and why do I suddenly know that using the winter orb on Letty Whiterock was the intent behind the donation?"

Richard: "Is this what it meant by "The user will gain knowledge", well now that I think about it, that Chara guy is the person that donated both of these."

Richard shrugs off these thoughts and puts it into the back of his head

Richard: "I'm getting side tracked!"

Richard: "right now I need to solve this incident, ill give it to her later... When she is alive again"

With renewed determination, Richard pushed aside the distractions and resumed his path towards Eientei.

As Richard stepped forwards into Eientei, he grew more cautious and worried. But the most prevalent emotion was embarrassment after returning from his unannounced one year vacation

Richard: "Well, here goes nothing"

Richard puts his hand on the door and gently pushed the door open, stepping inside the familiar halls of Eientei. The air was thick with tension, and Richard couldn't shake off the feeling of being out of place.

As he walked through the halls, he couldn't help but notice the curious gazes of the residents, some of whom he recognized from a year ago

Richard: "...this is so"

Richard: "...Embarrassing"

As Richard turned a corner he stopped in his tracks as he saw a panicking rabbit running through the halls seemingly searching for something

As he watched the panicked rabbit darting through the halls of Eientei. Instinctively, he knew something was wrong. 

Richard: "hey!"

Richard's voice echoed through the halls, cutting through the tension like a knife. The rabbit skidded to a halt, its ears twitching as it turned to face him.

Richard: "What's going on? Why are you in such a hurry?"

The rabbit's eyes widened as it struggled to catch its breath, clearly distressed by whatever had caused it to run in such a panic.

[Image] - {My image might not show up for you}

Reisen: "Someone put a barrier around Eientei!, it must be the Lunarian-"

Reisen's panicked voice cut through the air, her eyes wide with fear and suspicion. She pointed a trembling finger at Richard, mistaking him for a Lunarian intruder.

Reisen: "You! You're the Intruder!"

Richard's eyes widened in surprise and confusion at Reisen's accusation. He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, trying to calm the situation.

Richard: "No! Wait a minute! I'm not a Lunarian. I've come to help."

But Reisen was not convinced, her fear and paranoia clouding her judgment.

Reisen: "Don't try to deceive me, Lunarian scum! Why wont you just leave us alone!"

[Warning!, User is in danger]

As if in response to the heightened tension, the environment around Richard began to shift, the once-familiar surroundings transforming into a menacing red hue. The sky was red and there was nothing around him except for a floor made of red water that he was able to stand on, but the slightest movement would cause it to ripple

Caught off guard by the sudden transformation of his surroundings, Richard struggled to maintain his composure. He could feel the oppressive atmosphere weighing down on him, threatening to engulf him in its suffocating embrace.

Richard: "What... what's happening?"

1) Richard is stuck in the insanity area zone thing and Reisen try's to kill Richard (who is standing still unable to do anything) But every attempt fail's in a comedic manner and eventually Richard's Adaptation skill kicks in and he becomes immune to Reisen's insanity ability {this option is a worse plot device}

2) Richard is stuck in the insanity area zone thing and Reisen try's to kill Richard (who is standing still unable to do anything) But every attempt fail's in a comedic manner and eventually Reisen brings him to Eirin Yagokoro with a sense of shame {this option is a better plot device}
