Hyowha

In a remote alleyway stands a store. No one truly understands what it is selling, but people traverse it anyway.

"I hear the place fulfills your wildest dreams," says a female who wants to remain unnamed. "People who enter never wish to leave."

"The store-owner is a jerk—the prices are expensive, the staff is rude and you serve yourself," another male explains, "what, I'm still going though."

"I'm just here to look at the cute girls," says—well, his opinion doesn't matter, anyway.

"Listen, whatever you do, don't mess with the immortal siblings there. Who that is? The store-owner and his sister, of course! Why we call them that?" The person shudders. "Because we couldn't think of a fiercer name yet."

Within the store, an inconspicuous youth sits at the counter. In his head rings a cold voice, "Quest completed, ask Host to prepare for the next one."

"Eh, but I don't wanna."

"Quest issued, asking Host to check."

"Meh, I don't like it, give me something else."

"Non-compliance will lead to death."

"Sure, I'd love to see you try."

"...Please just do the quest."

Welcome to the Store of Fates! Dear customer, would you like to change your destiny too?

I Sell Fate Through A System

"Yo, my dear Ran Wei, the apple of my eyes, light to my stars," Lin Zhuyue spoke, "Buy my instance too please, I am broke."

"What the hell are you talking about," Ran Wei asked her, as she was about to take out the spirit crystals she won through the lottery. "Why would I ever do that?"

"For one, because you are a nice and giving person, secondly, we've known each other for so long, and we toil at the same place," the woman spoke, "So don't be so cruel and do your coworker a favor."

"You are human scum, you dare call yourself of the same species as me," Ran Wei shoved her dumb mug away. "You think budding up now will make up for the lifetime of headaches you have delivered to me?"

"I was young and stupid back then," Lin Zhuyue said. She glanced away, her eyes glistening. "At that time, I had yet to see the world. . . I missed Mount Tai when it was right in front of me."

"What the hell are you talking about."
