The Villain's Shopping System

In the year 2050, the world changed drastically when mysterious portals began to randomly appear, bringing with them terrifying monsters dubbed Transcendents and unimaginable dangers. Humanity nearly collapsed entirely, and the survivors took refuge in cities and secure areas, protected by individuals with special abilities called Awakened. These Awakened were the only humans capable of entering the portals and exploring the unknown realms on the other side, in search of resources, treasures, glory, or answers. Kaito, on the other hand, was just an unhappy young man who found solace in a classic online game called Mortal Tower, where he created an avatar of a powerful and charismatic villain. While many hoped to become Awakened, Kaito believed that even if he lived a million lives, he would never have the fortune to become one. However, one fateful day, fate played a trick on him. He woke up and naturally looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, but he could hardly believe what he saw. Kaito strangely resembled his Mortal Tower avatar. And to make things even better, Kaito somehow inherited the purchasing system from Mortal Tower, which would allow him to buy all kinds of items, from rare abilities to legendary equipment! Now, Kaito has to deal with his new life in an almost post-apocalyptic world full of opportunities, but also with a new great challenge called Celestial Abode, something even greater than the classic dungeon-crawling portals, something so similar to the early floors of Mortal Tower that it scares him. However, Kaito sets a goal for himself: conquer the top of both worlds, but he doesn't know it will cost him his selflessness. (Obs: No, he's still not a villain at first. There is a development for him to become a villain.) Main Tags: Action, Weaktostrong, Male MC, System and Shopping Schedule: 14 chapters/week.

Chapter 118 - Desert Pirates

The Desert Pirates are known for their aggressive and marauding behavior. They attack merchant ships, unsuspecting travelers, villages and spread chaos wherever they go. 

Kaito has not only heard stories about their cruel and merciless activities, he has also faced a gang of them once. For this reason, when he sees the Desert Pirates' boat approaching, its sails billowing in the wind, Kaito turns his gaze to the Sand Spreader, and in a moment of pure survival instinct, Kaito and the wounded creature start running together, in the same direction, side by side, leaving the previously interrupted battle behind.

However, they are both very slow. Kaito is slow because the long exposure to two suns has weakened him too much, and the Sand Spreader is badly wounded and heavy.

As he runs, Kaito can hear voices on the wind, rapidly approaching. 

At the helm of the medium-sized boat, the pirates are already arguing.
