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 120 - Docking

The pirates, who seemed so confident a few moments ago, now appear submissive in front of the mysterious Captain. 

While the pirate in the bandana, Jimmy, stutters and mumbles apologies, the Captain interrupts him in a deep, imposing voice, ordering him to shut up. But all Kaito can see is the gold ring on the middle finger of the Captain's left hand. The green stone in the center of the object glints ominously with a glow as he threatens his subordinate.

The pirates, including the aggressive Jimmy, quickly retreat from the room, almost tripping over each other to obey the Captain's orders to leave him alone with the prisoner. The door above the stairs closes with a muffled sound, leaving Kaito alone with the bearded, scarred man.

The Captain approaches the cell in silence, his heavy boots making a rhythmic sound against the worn wooden floor. The silence hangs in the air for a moment, creating a tension, and the Captain looks at Kaito intently.
