Magic Shop System Chapter 5
Advertisement
Hot wind howled and rustled, striking his face as Kadyn pedaled his bicycle. Trees at the the roadside swung and danced. Sweat dripped and drenched his clothes as the scorching sun hung on at the ninety-degree angle. Kadyn looked at his watch—it was 12:30 P.M.
"Are you once more going to spend your life as a simp and die a virgin?" while he was thinking about the shop he heard System in his head.
"Wh-what do you mean?" Kadyn asked in bewilderment.
"What I mean is simple. You died in your last life because of a girl. Do you once more want the history to repeat itself?" the system sounded annoyed. "This world works differently from your previous one. It is filled with violence and blood and greed, magic and demons and treachery."
"Did I miss something?" Kadyn reckoned and his eyes widened. "You know what happened with me last night, don't you?! Where did I get that mark on my neck?"
'Silence.'
After that no matter what Kadyn tried, System never replied. In the end he gave up and continued pedaling his bicycle on the Glumorse Road. He tilted the handle and changed the direction, leaving Glumorse road. It took ten more minutes to arrive at the location of his shop.
"Tring!"
"Wh-what?!" Suddenly he pressed the brake and observed the situation ahead of him with an open mouth and panicked face. "H-how? Why?"
He could not believe what he saw—an enormous gate with two lifelike statues of golden lions, with golden wings sitting on either side of the entrance. It looked as if they would lunge in just a moment.
"Who did this?" Kadyn threw his cycle with little care and dashed towards his shop. "Who dared to capture my shop? I'm fucking going to kill that bastard." He muttered, gritting his teeth.

There was a crowd, watching the marvellous design of the shop in front of them, praising and sighing in admiration. "I can't believe that someone is ready to establish a magic shop in the lower town as well." Someone said in admiration, looking at the two dignified statues.
"I think the boy is trying to pull a prank." One man said, shaking his head.
"What do you know?" another man refuted. "Do you think Kadyn spent so much money in the shop, just to play a prank on you? Don't you think you have too high an opinion about yourself?"
"..."
As Kadyn arrived he heard the conversation and his eyes widened in glee. Though he knew that his shop was about to upgrade he never thought the change would be this drastic. It was a difference in heaven and earth.
Kadyn rushed through crowd and arrived in front of large gate and looked at the board—Divine Lion Magic Shop.
"Did you give this name?" he asked the System.
"Yes."
"Why Lion? Why not Dragon or Phoenix?"
No reply.
Kadyn knew he would not get any answer from this mute system, so he stopped asking and looked at the statues in confusion and shook his head. What does it have to do with him if it was a dragon or a lion? His shop still sounded pretty badass.
Amidst the crowd, Kadyn headed in his shop through the entrance. The door opened automatically—he had no idea if it was due to some kind of sensor or something else—the first thing that fell into his gaze was the vast courtyard and a hedge surrounded. There was also a garden adorned with different types of flowers. Afterwards he saw the six separate buildings—Main shop, Potion Workshop, Artisan Workshop, Formation Workshop, Magic Acceleration Room, the and Practice Room.

Before Kadyn could ask anything, a rush of information came into his head and everything became clear—simultaneously a window popped out in front of him.
[Owner Name: Kadyn]
[Shop Name: Divine Lion Magic Shop]
[Mana Pool: Elementary]
[Energy points: 100]
[Elements:
1) Summoning (activated: 0 stars)
2) Fire
3) Wind
4) Lightning
5) Psychic
6) Darkness
7) Earth
8) Space
9) Wood
10) Blessing]
[Abilities: Pengolla Portal]
Kadyn looked at the window, and his mouth opened wide in shock. Now he realised what the system meant by that Kadyn had too much talent. He had ten elements in which summoning was the only activated element. All elements needed a vast amount of energy for awakening, which old Kadyn could not provide. Therefore his other elements remained in hibernation—always sucking his mana, hoping to awaken—and because his other elements always sucked his mana, he could not awaken summoning stars as well, due to his weak soul.
He sighed in admiration, and then his attention came back to the window, and he saw Pengolla Portal—"Is it some kind of portal?" he just shot an arrow in the darkness and somehow hit the target.
"Indeed, with it you can travel anywhere on the Pengolla Planet."
"What, really?" Kadyn's eyes brightened in excitement. He could travel anywhere in this world.
"Put that thought off your head, for the time being, if you have any wish to live."
"Ermm..." he wanted to ask the reason, but then shook his head—he would get no answer from this damn thing, anyway.
[Warning: Host can't cuss the system. Being a first mistake it is forgiven, but henceforth, every curse you intend towards the system, you will lose 10 energy points.]
"What!?" Kadyn opened his eyes wide. "Wait a moment. What are energy points?"
"Consider it money for the system," a voice sounded in his head. "Without it you won't be able to use Pengolla portal, and many more things."
Kadyn heard and scuttled towards the Main Shop.

New Game (Reborn as a Reluctant Demon Lord, Book 1)
Portal Fantasy. Isekai. A daydream of nerds everywhere, leaving behind their boring world and living in a fantasy one that is full of adventure. A daydream that became a reality for me and 1000 other Comic-Con attendees. Except for me, it was more of a nightmare. Wanting nothing more than to find a way home, and also saddled with being the world's new [Demon Lord], I found myself trapped in a gamelike world and also somehow a part of the [Hero's] party. So join me as I tell the tale of my struggles. A tale of levels and skills. A tale of cagey game admins and bugs. And a tale of our party's grand quest to defeat... Well... Me. ---- What to expect from this book? 1. A main character who is not overpowered (and instead has to go from near-useless to strong. Not just weak to strong). If you are looking for an OP [Demon Lord] who laughs at his weakling enemies... This isn't for you. 2. A meandering pace as the characters aren't told how a lot of the world works and have to figure it out themselves. (And because there are a lot of characters. Whose idea was it to have a party of 9? I blame Jake) 3. A tragedy. A lot of things are not going to go well for the protagonist. (Not that everything is tragedy all the time. There is humor, laughter, friendship, and even a mascot monster character who got way more popular than I expected. But this is not a story that will leave you uplifted and inspired after every time you read it). ---- Release Schedule and publishing information: Book 1 is complete! I will include a link to book 2 once it has been started. Feel free to give feedback, positive or negative. ---- Other notes Book 1? Yes, this says Book 1. There are probably going to be 3 books. No, the plot as you can guess is not going to be tortured to drag out all the way to book 3. That would be ridiculous. If you can guess the plot of books 2 or 3 at any point before the last chapter of book 1, please use your clairvoyant powers for something more productive. TitusGM? This story is intentionally told under the username TitusGM because the idea is that he was the one actually writing everything down what happened after it all is over. I initially planned to answer everything in character on this site, but that just really didn't work out. If you want an in character response to a comment, simply prefix it with IC: (I also try to leave that as a reminder in the author's note after each new chapter) Cover art?

Whispers from the dark
During the dark times, the humans and elves decided to work together to defeat the Fiend. A high king among the humans was chosen, together with his archmage he defeated the Fiend. A few years of peace, until the high king lost it. He was convinced that the mages would steal the crown and take over his world. Scared as he was, he decided to hunt down everyone with magical abilities. Elves retreated to the safety of their forests and mountains, forever remaining a mystery to the humans. Many non-magical humans agreed to this plan of their lord, for they were also afraid that the mages would take advantage of their weaknesses. The mages tried to survive. The archmage, who was the former counsellor of the last king and protector of the royal family, protested. He wanted to solve this problem through politics. But nothing helped, and the archmage fled. The king got two sons, one was born a mage, and the other human. The king despised his mage son and banished him. His younger brother became the heir of the throne. Anger grew in the mage prince. He thought war was the only solution to this problem. Consumed by the will to gain power, he searched for followers who would fight the humans in order to stop the hunt on mages. The archmage tried to stop this evil plan of the prince. But the mages split in two groups. The necromancers, followers of the evil prince, who studied the crafts of the dark magic to terrorise their enemies and gain back the throne. And the sorcerers, followers of the archmage, who tried to peacefully restore the trust between humans and mages. But nobody knew the danger that was gaining back his power in the underground world. The archmage disappeared and a darkness swept over the world. Human, elves, mages, every creature awaited in fear the day the darkness would take back his control. Faelwen, a young woman, was put in the middle of this chaos. Even though her only priority was to survive. Hunted down by humans and evil beasts, who can she trust? And what whispers from the dark will reveal the secrets from the archmage?
