Shang’s thoughts: This is awkward
Shang is currently lying on his bed while thinking.
The reason for Shang’s thoughts was when Shang entered the shop with Nanami, Xiao-wan immediately flared up for no reason and started screaming like she is already Shang’s wife.
Shang can totally feel what the protagonist in Oreshura light novel felt.
After getting a hint from Nanami that she will handle it, Shang retreats to his favorite hideout which is the bedroom.
As Shang daydreams while looking up at the ceiling, his view was blocked by a smiling Nanami.
Shang: How is she?
Nanami: I told her our relationship.
Shang: and then?
Nanami: She wants to be left alone for a while.
Shang:.........
Shang: Sorry.
Nanami: For?
Shang: Just now.
Nanami: It’s not your fault.
Nanami: You should as well take her in.
Shang: No.
Nanami: Why?
Shang: it’s like only one month when I found her outside the shop.
Shang: Do you think our relationship would go beyond the line of brother and sister within a month?
Shang: Impossible, right?
Nanami: But both of you are not blood related.
Shang:...... I need more time.
Nanami: You are indeed considering it.
Shang: No, I wasn’t.
As Shang wants to explain, he notices orange spots in the Shop Design.
Shang: Hmm!?
Shang suddenly jumps from the bed.
Nanami: What’s wrong?
Shang: We have unwanted guests.
Shang runs downstairs just in time to hear shouting between Xiao-wan and a male voice.
Xiao-wan: Like I say, there are limits for everyone.
Xiao-wan: If we simply sell you over the limit, we are completely breaking shop rules.
Xiao-wan: Who would enter a shop that does that?
????: You listen here!
????: I am actually paying more than usual amount.
????: Just give whatever you have in stock.
Xiao-wan: Sorry, I have to ask you to leave.

Xiao-wan: I believe you're a troublemaker.
????: What did you say!
Shang: What’s going on here?
Before the male voice decides to do the hard way, Shang appears and says.
Xiao-wan: Shang…
A guy wearing blue Hanfu turns to Shang.
????: So you are the shopkeeper. You look too young to be one.
Shang: Looks can be deceiving but I don't think that's the point. I heard someone here wants to break shop rules.
????: C’mon, it’s not like other shops did not do the same.
Shang: Then I am sorry to disappoint you that this shop is totally different from others.
Shang points to his board of rules. which is hanging on the wall.
Shang: Either buy or scram.
????:.........
????: MEN! I AM CLOSING THIS SHOP!
A group of six men who are holding weapons enters the shop.
Shang: Before you start, do you know I have connections with the Wang Family?
????: Wang Family? A shop like yours would have connections with the Wang Family? Don't make me laugh!
????: MEN! DO IT!
Chencai: STOP THIS IMMEDIATELY!
Wang Chencai also enters the shop with another group of men.
Chencai: Have you gone mad, Second brother?
Chencai: You forgot what the head says?
Second brother: I know when I am mad and when I am not.
Second brother: Listen, Third brother. All we have to do is just force this shop to give us the formula for red medicine, and we will be wealthy forever.
Chencai: YUANCAI!
Yuancai: What are you afraid of? You should be a man like me and take whatever should be yours!
Chencai: Yuancai, you!
Shang watches the two Wang brothers arguing among themselves.
Shang’s thoughts: Did the red potions become famous in the world?
Shang’s thoughts: I don’t like how this is going.
Yuancai: Screw this! MEN!
Chencai: YUANCAI!
Shang I think you need to cool your head...outside.
Shang sends Wang Yuancai flying outside with a finger flick to the forehead.
Shang then turns to Chencai.
Shang: You got some explaining to do.

Esper: Search for Power
Dan Martin has a good life. He's respected at his job, and enjoys his work. He is close to his family, and they love and support him. With engaging hobbies, relative financial security, and freedom to learn and pursue his interests, Dan is happy. So it's not particularly welcome when he's selected by an inscrutable and seemingly omnipotent System as a test subject. The downsides: All of this is insane and by any rational analysis he's gonna die. The upsides: Super powers, a cure for a physical disability that had limited him, and above all, so very much to learn (for as long as he can avoid dying). I am very much a beginner as an author, and any feedback or suggestions on how to improve would be deeply appreciated. Chapter releases should be daily for the first two weeks and sporadic after that as I use up my buffer. Please consider this work as a rough draft subject to revision and/or retcon. It is not only my first attempt at original story telling, but at world building and RPG style system design. The latter has been very difficult, even drawing on the brilliant work of many RPGs and LitRPGs for inspiration. Thank you to any willing to give a new story and a new writer a try!

Release Schedule: (Royal Road) As I can, building back up to 5x/week; (Patreon) Most weekdays Cover Art by: crow-god On Warnings: This is a high-octane, high-adrenaline, high-oxytocin story about mind-boggling adventure, terrifying monsters, a badass protagonist and, at times, the jaw-dropping women who fight alongside him. Is there swearing? Hell yes. Is there violence? Those monsters won't kill themselves! Does he meet (and sleep with) gorgeous fantasy babes? Of course he does! We live in a world of where many authors are afraid to include certain content for fear of scaring off their readers. I won't do that. I trust you. And if you trust me, you'll love my work.
