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

"Man, it's such a drag though," Shou complained, making sure his voice was heard. "If all humans could just get along with each other, that'd be great."

"You know that is an impossibility though, right," Si said, something that was unlike her age—wait, how old was she actually? She never told him.

"Probably. I don't think there's ever been an age where humans did not fight," Shou racked his brain. Maybe there was, but he couldn't remember. Anyway, it had to be in the minority, as in his mind, as long as one more person existed, there was bound to be trouble. "But well, a little discord is always good for the race, so don't get me wrong. Ah, who cares, it is not my place to judge. I am human too, after all."

"Well, only barely [lol]," Si whispered to herself.

"Moving on, I suppose it was only a matter of time for me to get involved in worldly affairs," Shou said. "I just wished it was something more interesting."
