"W-WHAT?!"
Aldric couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment realizing that the Celestial Elixir couldn't restore his lost arms.He tried to find another potion but found nothing.“But I still need it for my wounds. ” Aldric looked at his sides where his supposed arms should have been as he sighed. "I'll go for the Celestial Elixir. Purchase 5," he declared.[Purchasing Celestial Elixir, would you like to confirm?]“Confirm.”[Transaction complete. Celestial Elixir acquired (5). Remaining coins: 2,999,999,500,000.]A radiant vial containing a golden liquid materialized.It was the Celestial Elixir, and it seemed to pulse with potent energy.Eager to experience its effects, Aldric wasted no time in consuming the elixir, using only his mouth to open the bottle.He only drank one, yet Aldric felt a surge of revitalizing energy coursing through his body.His wounds closed rapidly, and fatigue seemed to dissipate, but as he already expected, his arms didn't regenerate. “Maybe there is something else.” Finally, after searching, Aldric found something. [Name: Lyrathos Syntharmlinx Imitation Price: 20,000,000. Rank: Legendary Classification: Artifact Ability: All healing, Fire Summon, Armblast Information: A divine artificial arm made from silver and made by the Kingdom Lyrathos and previously worn by their hero.Was lost and destroyed in the battle of the war.Upon attachment, it becomes able to transmit sensations of touch as well as allow the wearer to use his abilities.The artifact can change its shape according to the wearer's intent. This ability improves with each use.Additional Information: Destruction of this item is fundamentally impossibleOnly one is currently available. ] “One one is available…” he clicked his touch with disappointment. “Maybe I can find something else for my other arm. Search for another arm.” [Searching for prosthetic arm… Searched.] Aldric's eyes widened. “This…” [Name: Hero Lucien Dubois Left Arm Price: 500,000,000,000 Rank: Phantasmal Classification: Artifact Ability: Curse Shot, Earth Control, Lightning Strike, Water Control, Tough Skin, Fire Control, Air Control, Absorption. Information: The arm of the hero Lucien Dubois, the hero of Kingdom Lyrathos. Only one is available and will never be restocked. ] “So the heroes are really dead, but how amazing this World Wide Shop is. It even sells body parts,” saying that, a possibility came to Aldric's mind. “System, I can buy skills too, right?” [Answer. Yes, you can buy skills and abilities through the World Wide Shop.]Aldric nodded. “Then, even martial arts?” [Answer: Yes. You can learn martial arts through martial arts books.] As Aldric heard the system's answer, he found himself laughing at what an extraordinary situation he was in. After all the horrible things that had happened so far, it didn’t even surprise him. Adaptability is a terrifying thing. “With the amount of money I have, how many skills, abilities, and martial arts can I buy?”[Calculating… Answer: 52,581] Aldric's lips curled upward into a ferocious grin. “Purchase Hero Lucien Dubois Arm, Lyrathos Syntharmlinx Imitation, and use all my remaining coins to buy skills, martial arts, and abilities.] [Purchasing Hero Lucien Dubois Arm (1), Lyrathos Syntharmlinx Imitation (1), Skills—] “Confirm.” [Warning buying and consuming—] “I don't care.

I should attach these arms first.”He looked at the box of martial arts books. It was huge, but he has no time to learn it for now.With all his arms gone, it was useless for him at this moment.****The first arm he attached was the Lyrathos Syntharmlinx Imitation.“It's heavy and feels like it came from some kind of a cyberpunk movie. Lyrathos, huh? I remember that bitch queen talking about it but she never explained it but it seems that Lyrathos is an advanced kingdom.”Aldric didn't hesitate to attach it, since he didn't have an arm, he used his teeth and brought it close to his right arm.Suddenly, the arm's armor expanded and metallic tentacles suddenly appeared and before Aldric could react the tentacles extended from its center and covered his fat right arm up to the shoulder.Then the tentacles did something that felt like it was eating his flesh, the pain was so intense that he almost blacked out.“Ahhh!”After Aldric had recovered from his screaming, his right arm had become like a robot up to the shoulder.“It transformed into the same size as my right arm in both length and girth; it suits me well and it doesn't feel weird at all. Moreover, I could tell when I touched things with it.” Aldric tried to hit the wall and felt no pain at all. “Amazing. Next, I should attach this one.”Aldric looked at the Hero Lucien Dubois's Left Arm. It was inside of a glass and was covered in a green fluid.“I thought it would look like a corpse but it feels like it's alive. Like it was just recently cut off,” he commented before taking the arm from the fluid using his new attached arm. “It's cold. How do I attach this? Will it have something like a tentacle too?”Like what he did earlier, Aldric brought it closer to his left arm and as it made contact with his skin red and green veins suddenly appeared in the arm and it squirmed closer to his arm before it attached itself.It left intricate stitches.“No pain, but I can feel my blood flowing into it.” Aldric closed and opened his fingers and tried pinching the skin. “I feel pain. This is really amazing. But the color doesn't match though it's only obvious if you look at it closely. ”[Skill Acquired, ‘Mental Warfare’][Skill Acquired, ‘Camouflage’][Skill Acquired, ‘Magic Divinity’[Skill Acquired, ‘Clairvoyance’][Skill Acquired, ‘Conviction Concentration’][Skill Acquired,’ Thought Acceleration’[Skill Acquired, ‘Poison Magic’][Skill Acquired, ‘Healing Magic’][Skill Acquired, ‘Spatial Magic’ ][Skill Acquired, ‘Dimensional Magic’] [Skill Acquired, ‘Abyss Magic’][Skill Acquired, ‘Jinx Evil Eye’][Skill Acquired, ‘ Earth Magic, Terrain Magic, Heretic Magic, Shadow Magic, Dark Magic, Black Magic’][Skill Acquired, ‘Destruction Resistance, Impact Resistance, Wind Resistance, Flame Resistance, Earth Resistance Heavy Super-resistance, Deadly Poison Resistance Paralysis Resistance, Petrification Resistance, Rot Resistance, Faint Resistance, Fear Resistance, Pain Nullification’. ][Skill Acquired, ‘Stealth, Silence, Five Senses Super-enhancement,Perception Expansion, Night Vision, Pain Super-mitigation][Skill Acquired, ‘Appraisal’.]Minutes passed, and the system’s notification still continued. Aldric felt power flowing in him and he began to notice a change occurring within his body.“I wonder what other skills I will get. I wonder if I can buy anything other than—”Condition Satisfied… Unique Skill “Gluttony” has been awakened.All stats have risen by +10,000.Because of the title ‘The Human Who Held King Authority, you have gained a new title, “Ruler of Gluttony”.All stats have risen by +10,000.By the effects of the title ‘Rule of Gluttony, you have gained, Endless Craving, Dominant Aura, Voracious Vitality, Power Reservoir, Endless Hunger, Soul Drainer, Glutton's Overflow, Potent Absorption, Ravenous Surge, Cannibalization, Gluttonous Might, Power Devourer.“Gluttony—W-What? Aaaah!”A sudden, searing pain shot through Aldric. It felt as if something were eating away at him from within."It hurts! It hurts!"Aldric screech cut off abruptly as he collapsed onto his back, and his body spasmed. He felt as if something were eating away at him from within. “Agh— Aghghhhhgh!”Aldric screamed in a way that made everyone wish they could plug their ears. “Shabe— Shave me! Please! It hurts so much! P-Please!” Aldric shouted repeatedly, but there was no one there to help him. He was alone.As time passed, the pain only grew worse. The pain entered his head like his brain and he felt like his head was being squashed and smashed by a metal repeatedly.Aldric felt like his head was gonna burst.“Aaaaaaaaah!!! Wh-What’s— Aaaaaaah!!!”It was unendurable agony. The pain was trying to eat him from the inside out. Aldric writhed on the ground, screaming in terror.“Ahh!” Aldric yelled in pain and agony, the veins in his throat pulsating with the intensity of his suffering.The relentless pain surged through his entire being, threatening to overwhelm his consciousness.His body convulsed involuntarily as i
ALDRIC has been walking for almost an hour now.Thankfully, his stamina has increased thanks to the level up he hot and the bunos he got from Wrath and Gluttony. He also brought the skill ‘Endurance,’ so it was impossible for him to get tired quickly."I'm still not used to my body. I felt so light, and I'm not gasping for air no matter what I do. When I was fat, even getting up make me feel like I ran a marathon."Aldric checked his stomach which has gotten hard with muscles once again to checked that he wasn't dreaming at all. "Even my junior has changed significantly. It grew big for some reason," Aldric commented. He checked it last night and he was shocked to see it. Aldric shooked his head and put all the dirty thoughts aside.“It's daylight, so I won't find Demonic Monster but just normal monsters, but that doesn't mean I should let my guard down. Although I have grown stronger, I still don't know how strong I have become. I'm still clueless of my other skills,” Aldric mumbled
THEY were green and small in size, and some of them were almost skin to bones and filled with wounds.‘I guess even monsters are affected by the curse,’ Aldric said in the back of his mind as he kept observing them without uttering a word.The gobliins' faces were dirty and devoid of intelligence. Their swords had rust on them, and their armor was thin and torn at the edges. Some of them were dressed in nothing but stained rags. Their suken eyes that showed signed of dehydration, as well as their weapons, were trained on Aldric, although a few of them were ready to flee at the least provocation. Aldric smelt blood on them. Blood of other goblins.[Appraisal Activated][Name: Unnamed Goblin][Level: 5][Stats: - HP: 35/35 - MP: 15/15 - STR: 8 - AGI: 5 - INT: 2][Skills: - Basic Swordsmanship - Scavenge][Info: A small and weak goblin, often treated as the lowest rank among their kind. Their survival skills are essential in harsh environments, and they rely on scavenging and ba
HAVING dealt with all of that, Aldric gave Goblins the scales that he got from killing Gila Monsters and made them pile into a neat stack. But because the Gila's Monster scale was strong and sharp, he warned them to be careful, but it didn't take long before one of the goblins accidentally cut themselves on the sharp edge of a scale.Thankfully, the female goblin was there to heal them. Aldric found out that from the female goblin that the reason for her skin color being different wasnt because she was a woman but because she was special from the others.Aldric could not understand any of it.[The Goblin (10) has pledged loyalty to King Aldric. Goblins are now under your command.][Your Kingdom grows stronger.][You have received $1,000,000,000,000][You can now name the Goblins.]Aldric was making a weapon when the translucent screen appeared before him again."Name?" Aldric nodded, having understood what the system meant. "That's good. Since I will be living with them, it will be i
"It is finished, our Lord," the goblin with spiky silver hair said as he approached Aldric. Aldric named him Snik. "We have done as you ordered. The scales have been perfectly arranged."Aldric nodded and stood up. He cast a fire magic on the scales and burned them until they melted, forming a molten substance. As the molten substance glowed with intense heat, Aldric skillfully manipulated it, shaping the material into a door that fits the cave's entrance."How powerful!""Our Lord is powerful!"The elder goblin Grom and the others yelled with awe.But Aldric wasn't finished. He put another layer of scales and attached them to the door. This time, he didn't melt it and just used the fire magic to melt the back of the scales so they would stick together. He then took the venom he got from the Gila Monster and poured it on the scales, and he conjured a small amount of his own poison-infused blood, adding it to the venom-coated scales. After all of that work, he used 'All Healing' to
As soon as he said that, a spectral aura enveloped the space, and Aldric's shadow became alive. It flickered like there was an ethereal flame within it. The atmosphere grew heavy as if the very air was responding to Aldric's command, and then coming out of Aldric's shadow were the forty-five Dread Wolves, slowly materializing.Their haunting eyes fixed on Aldric, ready to heed his commands. Right at this moment, the goblins outside the room felt an ominous yet familiar presence. They exchanged glances, immediately grabbed their weapons, and hurriedly ran towards their Lord, praying that nothing had happened.But as soon as they stepped inside, what they saw made them tremble with fear. They couldn't even move as they exchanged a glance with the monsters before them."P-Protect the Lord!" It was the elder goblin who broke the silence between the Goblins, but although he said that, he too was trembling uncontrollably.He couldn't even move from his spot. He gritted his teeth and swal
IT took Aldric three seconds to comprehend her sudden seductive presence, and he stammered, "L-Lavena, what do you mean by 'serve'?"'What is the point of asking, Aldric? You know what it means!' Aldric could feel his heart racing. After only being bullied and the women being only disgusted with him, Aldric never had any experience with a woman.He didn't think about doing it or having a relationship with a woman because he only thought so lowly of himself. He already accepted himself that he would die a virgin.Suddenly, Lavena leaned in, her lips grazing Aldric's ear as she whispered, "Anything you desire, my Lord. I am yours to command." Her touch sent shivers down Aldric's spine, and he couldn't deny the magnetic pull of her enticing offer.Aldric reddened as he gulped the saliva that he didn't know was coating hia mouth, his gaze lingered on Lavena and finally noticed that she was completely naked. Aldric didn't know where to look, and now she was close enough that he could fee
WHAT Aldric saw made him gasp in shock. How could evolution cause this much change?"Thanks to Your Highness' blessings, I have evolved into an Oni and…" Lavena trailed off and blushed before she flashed a wide and ecstatic smile. "I… I have become your wife."“W-Wife?” Aldric asked and realized that he wasn't dreaming when he heard the system's robotic voice.“Y-Yes, Your Highness..." Lavena's red face became even redder.'Appraisal.'
