11 Ism tired of being forgetful (1/2)
*******************Rogue Narrator***********************
”Sorry to disappoint you viewers but I have a cold, so I can't go and track down Joseph today, as much as I want to”
In the distance a doorbell rings and the camera shifts from looking at the sickly face in front of it and shows a hallway then a door, when the door opens a man is holding a bag and speaks, ”Yeah I got an order for you. From A-” the man looks at the note for a moment trying to figure out how to pronounce the name, ”Jyoseph?” He looks into the camera and there is a sigh from the Narrator.
”Yeah I know him... thanks.” A hand reaches out and grabs the bag and then the camera shifts until it finally falls onto a table where a hand places the bag down.
”Now what did that bastard do?” A hand reaches into the bag and pulls out a container with a note on it, 'Maybe this will help you realize you shouldn't have such a cold dead heart.'
”What a cheeky bastard. What is in here anyway? Ooh some ramen with Egg on it. Why does he have to be nice at times.” Then after a few moments the man shivers, ”Wait, doesn't this mean he knows where I live?”
*****************Joseph's POV **********************
Man I had a great dream last night, I felt like I had a chapter where my story wasn't stolen from me by some random Narrator wannabe. Alas, I know that it is all too futile to hope for that as whatever author it is that garners my fate has proven he chooses otherwise.
After I woke up I realized I'm on a bed so my instincts made me reach for my tablet that I usually would keep on the night stand by my bed that way I can read in my bed for a bit. After not feeling it there I flip over onto my back and look around before rubbing my eyes.
Yup, still real, still in Naruto-verse world thingy. Whatever you wanna call it. Okay I need to remember details, when am I? I know it's not the 4th great ninja war since Naruto isn't born yet and considering Minato's age he won't be born for awhile. Hm, okay I can't remember shit.
How much are those things that can improve my memory?
'Informing host there are several methods to increase memory. There are skills, consumables, and technique books with methods.'
Okay, then what is the cheapest. I mean I have 1,210 points that I can work with here so I mean I should be able to afford some stuff.
'Informing host, Memory pills are available at 1 for 10 SP, 10 for 90 SP, or 100 for 800 SP. There are increasing numbers but host is unable to afford them.'
Okay so what do they do?
'Each pill increases hosts memory by 1%. This includes capacity, speed of recollection , and other various memory related things.'
Okay how about the skills, are there any that I can purchase?
'Affirmative. Informing host it is possible to purchase basic form of Memorization. It is strong in earlyuses but the returns pale in comparison to techniques.'
Okay then what about the technique books? I am going to use the pills if nothing better comes up.
'Informing host, there are 2 technique books regarding memorization. One governs memory capacity and the other governs memory speed. Both books can be bundled together for 200 SP which is 300 off their combined price.'
Okay I'm being led by the nose here, what's the catch.
'It is quite difficult to train these... normally. Host has an advantage however and possesses a method of speeding up acquisition of the skill to high levels quickly. System was also given this deal because recently someone specializing in cultivating these had just passed away.'
This is all too convenient... but fuck it I won't look a gift horse in the mouth. Gimme!
'Please confirm 200 SP for the memorization books bundle'
[Yes] [No]
I click yes then the books fall on my lap with a note on them saying thanks for the purchase.
Well time to open them up and take a look.
And I am bored. Shadow clone do your thing!
In an instant 2 shadow clones appear in front of me and I hand them each one of the books. You know, I really would've been screwed in Danmachi if I went there first, granted they have an actual level system but man with shadow clone Jutsu alone I can grind shit out fast!
Just, y'know, need to watch out for that exhaustion.
Well now that they're here what should I do? Hm, guess I can look at the shop more, I still haven't looked at it.

Jesus H. Christ, I saw that last skill and it's insane price and I had to stop. I got an idea of the skills, various game, book, movie, anime, or whatever it is skills.

Yup, items naturally put everything else to shame. I even found some questionable objects that I can't help but wonder why the system has them? Well I'll just say they show anime characters on them in ... various clothing and they are typically on a pillow.
It only costs 2 SP for a set of 10 with pillow included, but I'm not trying to keep my virginity as long as I did last time. No siree bob.

I noticed something odd in the middle over there... I am no deviant. I will start a fucking crusade if you tempt me damn you.
Also obligatory, WAS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE WRYYY. Okay I'm done being toxic for now. Key word is for now. If I see stupid shit you can't stop me from commenting.
Also yeah I saw that immortality technique is super cheap but what do you want to bet its next to impossible to do? Even with my Shadow clones I bet it'll be rough. Plus it seems like a plot trap, no thank you sir.
Next up!
