The Kingdom Of Lionheart

I rode my bear through the forest.

I had a map that was given to me by Uncle Bu.

It said that if I head North, I should reach the kingdom of Lionheart.

Me and Doof, living without a roof.

Now we got a monkey, time to get funky.

Like my poem?

Oh yeah, I forgot that I tamed the dead monkey.

Uncle Cheng said necromancers are highly respected in this part of the world.

But, both bear and monkey looked alive.

He also said that summoners are respected too.

....

Hey system?

"Yes?"

Tell me what you can do and I can do need me to do.

"..."

"Sure."

"I'm ¥^£ ]£[¥ ]£ §<|]€>¥"

"And $&#) [¥¥^ ]¥[¥"

Ok stop, my head hurts and you aren't making any sense.

"Hm..."

"I need to exercise what I can do. And I find it fun down in the lower realms."

Ok?

So what do you need me to do?

"Open up a shop."

...

Why?

"I figure it'll be beneficial to both of us."

How?

"I make stuff, you sell stuff."

So in other words, I get money?

"Yes."

Okie dokie!

-5 Hours Later-

"Body. slow. Body. tired."

Doof?

"Am. Doof."

I understand.

I decided to try out my abilities.

"So, you want me to make a living space for you?"

Yes.

"I am condensing your soul right now. I'm also purifying it."

And?

"..."

"Give me a second."

I tried putting Doof in the space.

Suddenly, Doof disappeared.

Did it work?

"Yes."

"By the way, your soul has been condensed to the size of a basketball."

Why does it need to be like this?

"...what? Please speak clearly."

Why does my soul have to be condensed?

"So creatures can't leech off of your soul so easily."

Makes sense.... I think.

Funky was walking ahead of me when it waved to stop.

Funky was the monkey.

The name suited him because he started doing a weird dance.

I looked over his massive body and saw some people.

"Hello!"

"who said that? Please help us and keep quiet. It's a demon ape."

"You mean funky?" I said as I stepped out from behind Funky.

"Phew" x6

All six of the people seemed relieved.

"So, you're a summoner?"

"Yes."

"But what's with that armor?"

"I'm also a warrior. A magic warrior."

"Ok."

She seemed to be thinking about something.

I decided to just ask her if she knew anyone in he city.

"Yeah, why?"

I explained that I needed to open up a shop.

"Well, I have a friend that is selling her store."

Jackpot!

"Where is it?"

"It's in a remote area. Red light district."

...

I came to Lionheart woh the group.

They showed that they were adventurers.

I was allowed in with the group.

I realized something.

Hey system?

"Yes?"

Can I name you?

"No. Call me system."

Ok.

Anyways, I needed to ask.

"Ask what?"

Can you make earth stuff?

"What's earth?"

Can you look through my memories or something?

"Oh."

...

"Amazing. It's a beautiful world."

And?

Can you make it?

"Sure."

Let's make Takis.

"Sure, I'll use your soul a bit."

What?

"I use your soul for everything."

Ok?

Will it hurt me?

"No. I'll make sure not to overuse your soul."

Ok.

Soon, a notification came in.

"Takis x100, have been made."

WHAT.

Why so many?

"After doing it once, your soul can make it multiple times more efficiently. It can make 1000 bags now using the same amount of energy to create one bag."

Hey uh, what does my soul run on?

"Mana. And energy. It can create it by itself but it'd be better if you gave it some."

Understood.

-1 Hour Later-

"Hello ma'am!"

"So, you're Charlie?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Be careful around here ok? I own a simple little laundry shop and those thugs still extorted me."

Oh, the cliche thugs.

Well, it would make sense to rob an old woman like this. She doesn't look her age, but she is weaker then a healthy man.

"Thank you for the advice!"

After getting a free store, I asked about the security.

Hey system?

"Yes?"

Can you reinforce the store?

"Done."

Nice.

Now can you reinforce this armor to make it better than it is?

"Sure."

The store was remodeled in seconds and the interior now resembled a small mall.

It was huge compared to the exterior.

Maybe about 100 square feet.

It was shaped as a simple square building.

There was a door behind the counter.

Hey system, what is that?

"Your home."

Ok.

I stocked a shelf with Takis and asked the system to make more chips.

Hey system?

"What."

Do these chips have any special effects?

"No."

Nice.

"100 bags of poison extracting Takis made."

....

"Why is it nice to not have special stuff?"

So I can sell it cheap.

"Oh. System didn't think of that."

"Reward, armor boxes."

Reward?

"I can't make a lot of stuff at once, and it takes a while to make these things. So, I'll reward you sometimes with stuff that's hard to get."

So, you'll reward me with stuff that's hard for you to make because you don't like making stuff.

"I like making stuff, but I can't exhaust your soul."

Understandable.

I filled an aisle with normal chips, like Lays, Pringles, Cheetos, and more!

I filled the next aisle with special stuff.

Each bag of special chips start at 10 golden coins.

Lays recovers vitality, Pringles heal, and Cheetos give energy.

You see, the currency works like this, bronze coins, silver coins, gold coins, and then crystals. Each level of currency advances to the next one with bronze to silver at 40, then sliver to gold at 30, then gold to crystal at 20. So, 40 bronze coins can get you a silver coin.

The normal chips cost 5 bronze coins. I actually priced these myself.

Hey system, can you make soda right now?

"Yes."

"Coke, Sprite, Fanta, and Dr Pepper have now been made."

Thanks!

Can you make the special ones later?

"Special Coke, Sprite, Fanta, and Dr Pepper have been made."

.....

Coke gives energy, Sprite heals, Dr Pepper recovers vitality, and Fanta extracts poison.

I ended up doing the same process for candies like M and Ms, Skittles, Sour kids, etc...

I stocked this stuff for the entire day.

It took a few hours so I ended up sleeping

-the next day-

I unlocked the door and remembered something.

I asked the system to make enchanted weapons.

I personally got an enchanted gun.

Ok I lied, I got a few guns.

Each gun has an elemental attribute and has a self reloading function.

I got a small stab proof enchanted vest that had a bullet making feature.

You inject a mana and it forms a bullet of any caliber, depending on the amount of mana injected.

I started to get hungry, so I made a meal.

Honey roasted barbecue sauce, chicken, and bread made for a good meal.

"Ring ring"

The doorbell ring as someone came in.

"Woahh"

It sounded like a small boy.

I looked over the counter and saw a little boy.

He looked around himself, sizing up his surroundings.

He ran outside and then back inside.

"Hey kid!"

"Ah!"

The kid jumped a little.

"Oh. Hello?"

"Hi kid."

"What's your name?"

"Charlie."

"I'm Alex! Why is your store so big?"

"Magic."

"So do you sell stuff here?"

"Yes."

"What are Cheat Ohs?"

"It's good food."

"I'll buy it then!"

The average adult makes about 1 sliver a day, so, this kids allowance might be a bit high..

After buying it, the kid proceeded to bite the bag.

"This sucks."

"Open it like this."

I showed the kid how to open the bag.

He finally started eating the chips correctly and said, "wow! This is really good!"

"Don't speak with a full mouth. It's rude."

"Ok!" Said the kid with a full mouth.

The kid left happily with chips.

-an hour later-

"Is this the place?"

It was a soothing voice.

"Yes mama!"

The kid is back.

Well, I hope I can get a regular customer out of this.

My journey selling stuff, has just begun!
