《In-game Item Storekeeper》Chapter 117 - Unexpected Lover (Narutoverse)
Advertisement
The first rays of the sun wakes Shang by shining on his face.
Shang: My head…
Shang wakes with a huge headache in a sitting posture.
Shang’s thoughts: Weird, I should be immune to being drunk.
That’s what every character thought so when they obtained poison immunity or gone through the practice of mithridatism.
Finding himself naked on bed, the first thing that Shang do is to search and wear his missing boxers after popping a spiritual pill to relieve his hangover.
Shang’s thoughts: Even if it is a hundred-year-old Enkouou Fruit Wine, my eight hundred-year-old martial body should be able to hold liquor at chinese immortal level.
While he ponders over this, Shang notices something different is mixed together with his heap of clothes.
Shang’s thoughts: I don’t remember wearing this color yesterday.
Shang thinks as he reaches out for the purple yukata.
Shang’s thoughts: It’s perfumed.
Shang can smell the fragrance as he brings the clothing up.
Shang’s thoughts: I only remember wearing a blue-colored Samue (Work clothing for Japanese Zen Buddhist monks) for that drinking party yesterday and the only one who wears a purple yukata would be....
A female voice from his side can be heard muttering from his side.
????: Elder… Stop it… I don’t think I can....
Shang:...
Slowly turning his head to the direction of the voice, Shang notice a blanket-covered and a short-haired feminine figure laying on his side.
Shang then slowly lays back on bed.
Shang’s thoughts: What have I done… Of all Narutoverse's women, I slept with her...
Some time in Shang’s kitchen…
Koharu whose short hair is unbundled, is sitting next to table, staring at the hot tea’s surface of her yunomi (Japanese ceramic teacup).
Koharu knows what had happened last night after waking up to find herself in such an embarrassing state. Her face is still red, recalling the scene she had with Shang.

About Koharu’s current thoughts. Shang has no idea but he knows Koharu need time to speak, so he focuses his mind at the kamado (a traditional Japanese stove) by watching the fire while cooking Okayu (Japanese rice porridge).
Koharu: I… You… We...
Koharu finally looks up to speak, stuttering while Shang is pouring the porridge into two bowls.
Shang: Yes.
Shang tells her the truth calmly while placing the porridge bowl in front of Koharu and the other one in front of him.
Koharu: Then...then… what should... should... we do... from now?
Shang’s thoughts: It’s kinda cute to watch her stutter.
Shang: What do you want to do from now on?
Koharu: I…
Koharu looks at Shang’s eyes for a while and then she looks back down on her teacup in red.
Shang’s thoughts: Looks like she still needs time...
After five to ten minutes of silence, the porridge is no longer steaming hot and no one is touching the food.
Shang:...Let's go with this then.
Koharu: Eh?
Koharu looks up after hearing Shang’s voice.
Shang: You need more time, right?
Koharu nods.
Shang: I can wait but…
Koharu: But?
Shang: Let’s live together for the time being, Koharu-chan.
Koharu nods before looking back down at her teacup in red.

The Rocky Shore
This is a LitRPG series. Every story you read here takes place in the same virtual world, with the same rules and limitations. Characters will travel, explore vast and dangerous realms, overcome obstacles, meet one another, enter into conflicts with one another, forge alliances, make horrible mistakes, and occasionally just die. A technological singularity has been achieved, and humanity has been trapped in a virtual world by a super-intelligent, self-improving artificial intelligence. This program is not malicious at all. In fact, it desires nothing except the happiness and fulfillment of every human it has copied into itself. If its decisions seem strange to you, that's only because its reasoning is far beyond ours. It recognizes that humans cannot be happy without enemies to overcome and goals to achieve, as well as the possibility of failure and death. The world it has created may be heaven or hell, depending on the free choices of the people it contains. The non-player characters who live in this realm have no idea that they are part of a vast computer system. They seem real enough, but there is no way to tell if they are truly self-aware. Even the system that created them isn't certain. This is world in which all the things that humans are used to dealing with in the abstract: skills, talents, knowledge, reputation, social status, morality, even love, exist as readable statistics that players can see and interact with objectively. This has many curious and complex effects on how people perceive themselves and the world around them. A few quick notes on the system: -Death is permanent -The system interface can only be accessed at certain locations. -Magic of diverse kinds is available and useful, but is not a good substitute for skills, physicallity, or mental prowess. Non-magical characters are common and competitive. -There is no inventory system. Characters must physically carry everything they wish to have on their person. -Healing is slow and difficult. Magical Healing is all but unheard of. Protagonists: Raymond Garrison- A man in his late twenties who used to work as a forklift operator in Idaho. His path leads him to work as a mercenary, protecting a small community of humans and goblins from the Seelie Fae who wish to exterminate them. Patricia Chandler- A elderly British woman who arrives in this new world with her grandson Kyle and her granddaughter Elizabeth. Never having dealt with rpg game mechanics before, she is in for a rough time, but she is determined to keep her grandkids alive in a world full of danger and evil. Jamil Mesbah- An Egyptian woman who once worked as a technical writer. Her path leads into a vast and hostile forest, where she must master both her magical abilities and her survival skills in order to succeed. Enjoy your travels, friends.

With all my wisdom I can’t think of him living a better life than he did, given his circumstances. So gather round, for the story of my dear friend. Not a litrpg.

Deviant Rule
When their world changed, everyone began chasing the same thing. The emergence of an energy that could make you strong enough to take anything you wanted changed everyone. They blinded themselves to a part of the world's new truth. For them, the only truth was that the powerful would rule the weak. Alius was someone different from all of them. A deviation from the plan. It made him hated. His only question was why? Why did they think his path was wrong? Maybe... they were the ones who had made a mistake. (The warnings are mainly to give myself creative freedom in the future. While we're here, I would also like to warn you that there will be a decently chaotic release schedule. Add that to the first-time experience and you have a crappy story that might get better. Enjoy what you can!)
