Pocket Knife
Zero looked down at the sea of red that was the first floor, being pulled out of his observation by a muffled scream from behind him. Zero turned to look at a Qwulvis, its tongue already tied to a support beam. Zero walked over and bent down before grabbing the creature's upper jaw and dragging it to the edge before letting it drop the half foot before being suspended by its tongue.
Zero once again looked over the large mall area, finding the area had become familiar in his brief time here. He sighed before taking out the timepiece and noticed the time wasn't showing, and the inside was different. Instead of the usual endless galaxy, he had come to know, there was now a blank room, and sitting in the direct middle was a pocket knife.
Zero recognized the knife as the one he had had in his pocket in case he ever needed it. Zero was confused as to why it was in there. Zero willed the knife to come out, Figuring it was like a Window, only for nothing to happen. Zero instead willed the time to show, this time the Timepiece reacting to his will. The image shifted to the galaxy before showing the time 12:37. When Zero willed the space to show once more, nothing happened.
Zero looked up at the sky and debated speaking, only to not as he didn't figure the keeper of time to answer a single human's question. Zero shrugged before placing the piece back into his pants pocket, which he now realized was completely soaked in green blood and the parts of the creatures.
Zero sighed at his appearance before taking a step forward, instantly dropping. As Zero neared the ground, he turned so he was facing the floors before spotting a Qwulvis and blinking behind it. Zero dropped onto the railing beside the creatures before slightly poking it with his dagger, the wound not being deeper than a centimeter. Zero jumped over the railing and walked back towards the pet shop before repeating his early performance, stabbing a bit smaller tank this time. Zero once again changed clothes and switched the timepiece over when it slipped out of his hand.
Zero was effortlessly able to reach down and grab it, however, there was a sudden sucking sound, and the clothes Zero had just changed into suddenly disappeared off his body. Zero looked stunned between the timepiece, which the clothes had been absorbed into, and himself, which was completely naked once more. Zero looked at his hand, finding his middle finger was hitting the right knob on the top of the device. Zero let go of the knob, and nothing happened. 'Window, explain this device.'
-Notice-

Zero clicked yes and watched a smaller window appear above the timepiece before it lowered itself directly over the piece. The Timepiece fazed through the window, and the Window continued to 'scan' it multiple different ways before finally it stopped.

Zero changed into different clothes before opening the Shop and making his way to the upgrades section.

The list went on for multiple pages, all with the same option. Zero clicked into the upgrade, finding a description.
<Old Timepiece Storage Upgrade>
Description-Once bought, a single item slot will be unlocked. The item slot is the size of three feet by three feet.

Zero closed all of the Windows before looking at the timepiece and clicking the left 'crown'. Instantly, the time on the watch shifted before expanding an inventory type Window, only the window was a light blue instead of the usual color.
The first thing Zero noticed about the window, was that it only had five slots, and above each slot was "(3'x3')" Zero, figuring it was like the Windows, reached into the Window with his free hand before willing the knife to be grabbed. Zero felt his hand suddenly take hold of something, so he pulled, finding it was the pocket knife. "Thank you."
Zero took the new clothes out before making his way back to the balcony and dropping over it, facing the entrance to his room. As he neared the floor of the building, Zero set his eyes on a Qwulvis tied up to an exposed pipe. Zero appeared behind the creature before slightly slicing its back as he dropped down to the ground. Once he was on the ground, he turned to face the bent metal door before walking through it.
After taking a second to prepare himself, Zero took multiple mid-sized duffle bags before emptying them and filling them with food and water. Once he was done with that, Zero aimed the watch at the five. Zero held his breath, before clicking the right crown. Zero let his breath out as the five bags were sucked into the timepiece before a red flashed, a small beep accompanying it.
Before Zero could head out, he needed his Mana channels to regenerate, so he started putting the items from the bags into his Local shop. By the time he felt his Mana channels had recovered enough, he had managed to put more than 100 bags worth of items into his Shop. Without a second to think about it, Zero walked towards the door before fazing through it.
