Chapter 101: Shop Modification (1/2)

The shop was silent. It felt eerie in the darkness. The moon was hiding behind the clouds, so no light. The weather was foggy, which made it even more troublesome to look at. However, Kadyn was in control here. With just a single thought fog faded and light appeared in the shop. Elora and Zelie sighed in relief. Kadyn saw their expression and rolled his eyes. The girls were furious seeing his smirking gaze, but too embarrassed to retort.

”Sister Rayna must have fallen asleep,” Elora said to hide her embarrassment. Kadyn nodded and looked around and his gaze fell over tall buildings one by one — Potion Hall, Artisan Hall, Formation Hall, etc; in the end, his gaze fell upon the Main Building.

I need to modify it. He thought. Then he turned towards Khrom and Dion and said, ”Lead the carriages inside.”

The duo nodded and went outside. Kadyn stared at the main building and a picture appeared inside his head. He wanted to make the shop look like that picture. Following that, a window opened in front of him.

[The modification needs 150 energy points. Do you want to continue? Y/N]

As soon as Kadyn clicked yes, the shop started to tremble. ”What is happening?” Hot Rod's voice quivered. ”Is this an earthquake?”

Kadyn rolled his eyes at him. Barret relaxed when he spotted Kadyn's expression. Then, to everyone's shock, the buildings started to shift. They moved backwards except the Main Building. It moved forward. In the end, other buildings had been hidden behind the single one.

When everyone thought that this was the end. The buildings once more started to change. The entire shop had turned white — appearing to be made of white marbles— and two large pillars appeared on either side of its door. Then beautiful carvings started to form — wild animals, beautiful flowers, mountains and landscapes. There were even carvings of wizards fighting and slaughtering each other.

Then, there were carvings of strange creatures: eyes red, hair red, bloody teeth — two at the side were longer than the rest — and two horns could be seen on their heads. Are they vampires from legends? He thought. But then, he shook his head. No, vampires have no horns. He contradicted. Afterwards, he shook his head and peered somewhere else. A beautiful dome had formed at the top of the shop, accentuating its beauty.

After that, the path formed at the front of the shop and flowers and shrubs spread their greenery on either side. Then, the tiles appeared on the path and a red carpet formed afterwards. Kadyn smiled.

Then, his attention turned towards the inside. The shelves formed — protruding out of the walls. They were covered with glasses. They could be used to display their potions or artefacts inside. The counter that was at the very front moved back and dragged until it was near the wall at the very end. However, it stopped before reaching around two meters away from the wall, and behind the counter on the wall shelves started to form like before, glasses as a protective layer.

Afterwards, on the edge of the counter appeared a screen. On which one could see a spinning wheel. Wheel of Fortune. Kadyn hadn't used it for a long time and had almost forgotten about it, but at this moment, he remembered about it — as he could use it in this convention to attract other customers and make his shop a little more distinguished than others.

Furthermore, that shining screen was something pretty eye-catching. Even if some people suspected it was a fraud — as many people do — they would still want to try it. It would do a good job with amazing people. After all, the technology of Pengolla wasn't as advanced as the earth.

The screen was hanging without any support that was shocking on its own. People would take it as some kind of spell. Furthermore, the System seemed beyond any technology Kadyn had seen in his life. It could do anything if you have enough energy points and strength.

Just as the modification was completed the noise came from behind them. Five carriages entered the shop. Khrom and Dion gawked at the scene in front of them with wide eyes and open mouths. ”When… did it turn out like this?” Khrom asked after a brief silence of amazement.

”Just a moment ago,” Zelie replied. She chuckled and shook her head.

Khrom eyed her stupendously. He wanted to ask: sister, do you know how shocking this is? However, he had seen many amazing things since he became acquainted with Kadyn so he suppressed his curiosity for the time being. But Dion remained frozen. Khrom had to nudge him with an elbow in his waist before he came back to his senses.

”Alright,” Kadyn turned towards everyone with a smiling face. ”Let's put our goods on display.”

At this moment, however, a figure appeared from behind the building. It stumbled and cocked its head this way and that. ”Who-who is there?” a trembling voice asked. A voice of a woman.
