[Transdimensional Trading Club]

—Accept the ownership of TTC...?—

[Yes] [No]

'What is this screen..? Am I hallucinating.?!! It can't be..... Is it real..??!' Yukio rubbed his eyes. In front of him, there is a window panel in which he was given the option to get ownership of something called Transdimensional Trading Club.

Yukio is a 20 years old university student. Although he is average in class and gets average grades and is a normal student with a normal family. He also watches anime but not overly unlike some shut-in otakus.

One normal day, he was sleeping in his bed when he suddenly opened his eyes and saw a blue transparent screen with some matrix of numbers and letters. After that, a panel appeared in front of him which said

[Transdimensional Trading Club]

—Accept the ownership of TTC...?—

[Yes] [No]

'What is this thing..?' Yukio questioned but seeing that there was no answer he chooses [Yes] with some hesitation as he does not know what will happen with him if he does select one of the options. There were several questions like 'What is this club?' 'Why me?' 'Am I the only one?' 'Is this a dream?' These were questions that came to his mind in this abnormal situation.

'No matter what I can feel that my life will change from the moment I selected [Yes]...' Yukio thought and waited for the response of the screen.

'What..?!' Last thing Yukio thought when a white light appeared in front of him and he lost his consciousness.

*Plop* *urgh*

Yukio felt the urge to puke as he was abruptly teleported from his bedroom by that white light.

In front of him, there was a 3-floor modern building with the futuristic design of white and grey colours with blue lines. He entered the building and curiously inspect the establishment.

'Am I in the future..?! It is too unrealistic!' Yukio thought while observing his surroundings. It was too unreal for him.

*Wizz* *swoosh*

Suddenly a holographic image appeared in front of him taking the shape of a normal female human. A syringe of black material materialized in her hands and without speaking anything she injected the materials in Yukio's bone marrow.

Yukio was too frightened by her sudden appearance that he forgot the black substance was injected to his body by that mysterious women.

"WHAT!!? What are you doing..?!" Yukio shrieked as he realised that women injected something in his body

"Don't come near me!*argh* *huff*" Yukio tried to scream but the pain bought by the serum was too much for him to handle

"[Hello! I am Hexz-39Oc and I am your personal assistant. My duty is to ease your workload as the manager of TTC. I can also manage the TTC in your turn when you are out of the Club.]" Hexz-39Oc said in a mechanical voice

"*huff* Why am I here?! What are you..?" Yukio panted as he previously suffered from pain bought by the serum

"[You are the manager of TTC so it is your responsibility to be here.]" Hexz-39Oc said in a mechanical voice

"[And for your last question, I am Hexz-39Oc and I am an assistant robot from the 40th century. I have an in-built Artificial Intelligence but it currently turned off. As for more details, please check Robot's Mechanical Settings.]" Hexz-39Oc said

"Your name is too long for me to say....umm let me give you a new name. Your name will be Hexza..? Also A.I mode on." Yukio said

"[Manager's naming sense is really good...but I would like to be called Mikoto because I have seen your memories and your cousin is called Mikoto and you quite like the name.]" Mikoto said in a professional voice as her mechanical voice disappeared and was replaced by girly and mature voice.

"But Hexza is cool...!" Yukio complained

"[According to Robot's Basic Policy Guide 3028, Robots are given all of the basic rights and working robots are given pseudo basic rights.]"

"What!! But it's not year 3028....its 2020"

"[Time in the TTC is timeless.]"

"That doesn't make any sense."

"[So does your naming sense.]"

"Fair enough."

"Since when Robots were these much sarcastic..?" Yukio questioned

"[Humor value is at 95]" Mikoto answered

"....is that joke from Interstellar movie..?" Yukio deadpanned at his assistant

"[.....maybe...]"

"Nevermind. Anyways So what is this Store..?" Yukio shifted the subject.

"[It is the 'CLUB']" Mikoto said in an egregious voice

"Fine...So what is this 'CLUB'..?" Yukio said in a sarcastic voice

"[The Club is called Transdimensional Trading Club. As the name insinuates it is Club where every single of the Sub-Reality is merged at a very particular point in the Multiverse where every single reality is connected.]"

"[The club is like a business where the main purpose is to Buy, Sell and trade items throughout the multiverse at a fair price. The club runs on the principle of equivalent exchange. You have to pay the right price or equal price to buy or trade the items.]"

"Hmm, I understand the basics of the Club. Introduce me to the building and its features." Yukio said to Mikoto

"[Building is made from very sturdy and steady materials from the 37th century. The design of the building is inspired by the luxurious Building design in the year 4067. The building has pseudo-intelligence and the materials in the outer layers are made from anti- Magic, Weapon, Vector and Attack materials. It is a walking fortress which is of S-Rank in the multiverse.]"

"[Building has 3 floors. 1st floor is used for buying, viewing and trading items below A-Grade. It also has a rest area and entertainment area with movies and gaming room.]"

"[2nd Floor is where you can buy, sell and trade items of S-Rank to Ex-Rank. It has 20 counters and has basic employees room. It also has a kitchen and other daily things.]"

"[3rd floor is dedicated to Manager/Owner. Employees don't have access to that floor without your permission.]"

"[Basement has 4 floors. 1st and 2nd floors are Storage area and 3rd floor is where you can store items above S-Rank. While the 4th floor is empty.]"

"What is the difference between Manager and Owner..?" Yukio asked

"[There is no difference. You basically own the TTC and you have a responsibility to manage it.]" Mikoto answered

"Okay..... That's understandable. Now answer an important question." Yukio took a deep breath and again questioned

"Why me..?"

"[Because you made the DEAL.]"
