《Sun Collector》Chapter #23 New Dishes
Advertisement
The next day when I got up I checked the number on my arm it was 360. Not bad, not bad at all I planned to make grand elder a legendary ring before making the looter squads.
After all, he said that half of the resources that come in too the outpost come from him. If I could just upgrade his ability it would be of massive benefit.
I got up completed my routine and skipped out of the door. Today was gonna be a day off from sitting in front of those mirrors.
I wondered what was on the second floor of the ability library.
Nobody in the outpost stopped me because of the pin elder had given too me.
I passed the clerk and the numerous rings hanging on the wall.
Although now I could tell that they were all common and weren't necessarily good abilities.
Up the stairs and I came to a warehouse-type room with aisles.
There were numerous items on the wall.
All of them had prices underneath them.
I get it this was an item shop I knew that mana items existed but they were really rare.
They looked like they were less rare in this outpost because all of the outposts traded with each other.
The attended saw my pin
"Hello, esteemed guest are you here to purchase something?"
I replied "I'm just looking around but if something catches my eye I'm sure I could have grand elder purchase if for me."
He seemed to be satisfied with my response well then "Ill show you around."
There were items for many different uses all of them were combat or appraisal items. This was an outpost were ability decided everything.
I didn't need combat items or appraisal items because anyone who wouldn't let me know their abilities was not someone I wanted to help.

"Do you have any mirrors by chance?" I asked
"No, we don't have any mirrors. There is no sand at this outpost so how could mirrors possibly be made?"
It was worth asking I thought to myself.
"Thanks for showing me around if I need anything ill be back."
"Yes, sir ill always be here."
Apparently, his only job was to be an attendant. This was the fate of someone who didn't start on a path when they were young.
That was fun! I felt like eating in the cafeteria today I headed there and picked up my food.
I changed my mind I wanted to eat at the winery in the company of beauty.
When I got there morgan was on the job. Her ability ring had made her the most popular server.
As soon as she saw me she transferred her waitress jobs over too her friend and came and sat by me.
"Hello, benefactor I wonder what brought you here?"
She asked in a silky voice.
"I just didn't feel like eating in the cafeteria."
I answered honestly but she game me a quizzical look but I remained stone-faced.
"My boss said that if you came in I should try and get you in our debt again. Last time he and grand elder made a batch of upgraded 100 year dragon wine. They'ree trying to make a deal to sell it off to the materials outpost."
Her voice was calming probably because she was the only person I considered to be my friend in the outpost.
She had bet on me and carried me home when I was passed out drunk.
We would always be cool.
"So has your butterfly dance changed any?"
She smirked and whispered in my ear "Of course it changed my position in the restaurant changed so naturally, it looks like more of a noble dance."

"I wanna see it," I said resolutely
"Alright ill go get you some normal wine for your meal."
As she got up she seemed to drift through the air in a complex series of movements it seemed like her dance had gotten even more elegant. And it was even more alluring seeing it from the back.
I opened up my food box when I unfurled the note there in black ink.
The name of the dish Lucky thousand-year fire oxen.
This time it had a passive bonus that came along with it.
As I was reading morgan came back with the wine and I got drunk again.
But this time I was able to make it back to my room by myself.
So it must have been normal wine. The bonus I got from the oxen was increased blood flow for an hour.
That's probably why I didn't pass out and was able to make it home.
The next day I checked my arm and I was up too 400 maybe the nutrition value of the food made a difference in the amount of sunlight my body could absorb.
I didn't really understand it but I knew I should make grand elder an ability ring as soon as possible because our futures were now linked.
I stayed inside in direct sunlight the whole day the only time I left the house was to grab my food.
This time it was a salad.

Joie de Vivre
A modern man chased immortality and found it. In a mixture of good and bad luck, he was re-born as part of the Uzumaki clan from the Naruto-verse, some few years before their scheduled destruction. But if Daichi were the sort to allow a little thing like fate to get in his way, he'd never have survived in the first place. Dedicated, intelligent, chock full of ideas from a technologically advanced society, and perfectly willing to scorch the earth, he sets out to avert history. Can he avert canon, save the Uzumaki, and forge his people into a mighty nation? Or will he fail, dooming his clan to extinction? At the end of the day, all he wants is a good life. And considering even Death itself didn't stop him, he pities whoever gets in his way. ================== Tags: Naruto, Reincarnation, OC, eventual multi-cross. ================== Author's (Brief) Note: Back by popular demand. This was my first significant fanfic (and fic in general). I wasn't happy with the writing as time went on, and took it down, but years later am still getting requests to put it back up so I guess some people liked it. Newly re-released as I finish some minor editing, there are about 100,000 words (~360 RRL pages) already written, so releases should be fast until I catch up with the backlog. That said, it may languish in hiatus at that point if the interest isn't high enough to merit continuing, so if you're the type to only read finished stories (or ones where the author promises to do so), I am very specifically not promising that. On the other hand, if enough people read, like, review, comment, rate, etc. then it will get added to my writing schedule. Generally, the character is based on a “how badass could someone who hasn't done ridiculously crazy shit be? Or, how does someone with the potential, in another setting, with a lot of luck, to be a badass act and develop as a modern, productive member of society? And then how would they deal with the Naruto-verse?” Please, please do not judge my writing by this. Unless you really like it, in which case fine, do, but recognize my other writing is likely better (unless it’s that one MTG/ASoIaF/SW fic I did over on SB as a speed-writing experiment, which is also pretty terrible).
