Tarot Card

Subaru narrowed his eyes at the image on the card. "A throne, huh? Is that supposed to be symbolic or something?"

Echidna smirked. "Of course. Tarot cards evolve based on their wielder. Yours represents your growing authority over your own fate... and perhaps the fate of others."

Pandora crossed her arms, studying the card. "White hair… A throne of darkness… It seems your Pathway is already molding you into something different, Subaru."

Minerva huffed. "Tch. I don't care about some fancy card. What matters is whether you can still be yourself."

Subaru exhaled, gripping the card tightly. "I'm still me. No matter what changes, that won't change."

Ding!

[Tarot Card Transformation Complete: Fool - The Monarch of the Unknown]

[Your Fool Pathway has fully synchronized with your personal identity.]

[Abilities will now manifest in alignment with your ideals rather than preset sequences.]

Echidna's smile widened. "Interesting. Unlike Klein or Amon, you're carving your own version of the Fool… Now, I wonder where that will lead you, Subaru?"

Subaru glanced at her and then at the other witches, who were all watching him closely. He smirked. "Guess we'll just have to wait and see."

Echidna then looked as she spoke. "Didn't Klein also get his own special card".

Subaru then spoke as sigehd a relief. "Good, I am really following Klein Path instead of Accidentally Amon".

Minerva facepalmed. "Unbelievable. You just got a reality-altering Tarot card, and the first thing you think about is not becoming Amon?"

Subaru nodded seriously. "Of course! You know how messed up Amon was. If I start turning into something like him, I might as well jump off the Hanging Garden right now."

Pandora chuckled. "That would be quite the waste. You've already become a fascinating existence, Subaru."

Sekhmet yawned, stretching. "Mmm~ Well, as long as you don't go completely insane, I suppose it's fine. But you are a Fool now, so some madness is inevitable~"

Carmilla fidgeted nervously. "P-please… j-just d-don't forget w-who you a-are…"

Subaru smiled at her reassuringly. "I won't. No matter what happens, I'll always be me."

Echidna swirled her tea. "Then, why not test it out? If your Tarot card has evolved, that means your abilities should have as well."

Subaru then though of something. "Now that I think about it".

Ding!

[2000 sin points, 100 death Points]

Subaru looked at them as he spoke. "I should really use them, well time too go to the shop"

Pandora then looked as she spoke. "Do remember that every item Cost 10 sin Points or 0.1 death Points".

Subaru looked as he spoke. "Not like I gonna buy weapons, already have Witch's Edge probably potion or other things that will help me and the Witch's Hand in the future".

Echidna adjusted her glasses with a smirk. "Oh? You're finally taking the system seriously. How unlike you, Subaru."

Subaru rolled his eyes. "Hey, I have been taking it seriously—just in my own way."

Minerva huffed. "If you were taking it seriously, you'd focus on strengthening yourself instead of nearly dying every time!"

Sekhmet yawned. "Mmm~ too late for regrets now~ just buy whatever keeps you from breaking, okay?"

Subaru sighed and opened the Sin System Shop, scrolling through the available items.

[Sin System Shop

High-Grade Healing Potion – 50 Sin Points

Elixir of Stamina – 75 Sin Points

Soul Fortification Pill – 150 Sin Points

Witch's Favor (??? Effect) – 200 Sin Points

Fool's Insight (Grants a glimpse into the Fool Pathway's potential) – 500 Sin Points

Authority Fragment (Random) – 1000 Sin Points

[???: Hidden Item] – 2000 Sin Points]

Subaru whistled. "Some of these sound really good."

Pandora crossed her arms. "Choose wisely. You don't get Sin and Death Points easily, and if you waste them on something meaningless, you'll regret it."

Subaru hummed in thought. "I should at least grab the Soul Fortification Pill, but that Witch's Favor is tempting…"

Typhon tugged at his sleeve. "Big brother, what about the last one? It's expensive, so it must be special!"

Subaru hesitated, looking at the [???: Hidden Item]. He had just enough to buy it, but was it worth spending everything at once?

Subaru then saw how much the [???: Hidden Iteam] cost in death point and it was 10 death Points first time he saw with out 0.1 which made sense it would stack. "I get Sin points from doing anything Sin full and mission and Death Points from Dying and Mission".

Pandora looked as she spoken. "Technically you get Sin points from choices".

Subaru looked as he spoke. "I already know that, you guys told me that when I first came here, let me just spend half of each".

Subaru exhaled, making his decision. "Alright, I'll spend 1000 Sin Points and 5 Death Points. That way, I keep some reserves in case of emergencies."

Ding!

[Purchased: Authority Fragment (Random)]

[Authority Fragment obtained! Identifying…]

[Authority of Gluttony (Fragment) acquired!]

Subaru stared at the notification, his expression turning complicated. "Gluttony… not sure how to feel about this one."

Echidna leaned forward, intrigued. "Interesting. If it's just a fragment, it means you don't have the full authority. You might only gain partial effects rather than the complete power of Gluttony."

Minerva frowned. "Ugh, that Authority is dangerous. If it's anything like the original, it could affect your memory or others' existence."

Subaru nodded. "Yeah, but it's only a fragment. Maybe it won't be as bad?"

Sekhmet lazily waved her hand. "Mmm~ You should still test it carefully. You don't want to erase something important on accident~"

Subaru sighed, deciding to check the details of his new power.

[Authority of Gluttony (Fragment)

Effect 1: Hunger's Edge – Slightly increases the user's combat capabilities when fighting stronger opponents.

Effect 2: Devouring Insight – Absorbs small amounts of knowledge from defeated enemies (no memory consumption).

Effect 3: ??? (Locked due to fragment status)]

Subaru blinked. "Okay, that's… actually not bad? It's not outright stealing names or memories, just taking knowledge and getting a boost in tough fights."

Pandora smirked. "Seems like you got lucky. The full Authority of Gluttony would've been… problematic."

Subaru rolled his eyes. "Yeah, no kidding." He then glanced back at the shop, debating if he should spend more. "Maybe I should also get Fool's Insight…"

Echidna grinned. "Oh? Now that could be interesting."

[The Gluttony (Fragment)], then fuses with his body, as Daphne Smirked

Ding!

[Gluttony Eater: When you touching someone it allows the users too completely take away all there current stamina enough use on this on a person over Iteam can lead to the death of set person"]

Daphne looked at as she spoke. "Ans now you have another one of my Authority".

Subaru looked at the Witch's as he spoke in kinda defeated tone. "How many authorities do you girls have".

Carmilla looked as she spoke. "A lot".

Subaru groaned, rubbing his forehead. "Of course, you do."

Daphne giggled. "Fufu~, but don't worry, Subaru. You're already special to us, so having more of our Authorities just makes sense, right?"

Subaru sighed. "Yeah, yeah… Just don't make me into some kind of Witch Collector or something."

Echidna smirked. "Too late for that."

Pandora chuckled. "Besides, with Gluttony Eater, you now have the ability to drain stamina. That could be useful in a fight."

Subaru frowned. "Yeah, but it's also dangerous. If I use it on someone too much, they could straight-up die."

Minerva crossed her arms. "So? Just don't abuse it, idiot."

Sekhmet yawned. "Mmm~ Sounds like a perfect ability for a Fool like you~"

Subaru clicked his tongue. "I feel like I'm being set up for something, but whatever. I'll just have to master it like everything else."

Ding!

[Passive Skill Acquired: Authority Synchronization]

[Effect: The more Authorities the user possesses, the more they begin to merge and evolve over time.]

Subaru stared at the notification. "…Oh boy."

Echidna's eyes sparkled. "Now that is interesting."

Subaru then though with [Gluttonous Consumption] [Gluttonous Edge] and [Gluttony Eater] he literally had 3 Authority that play like combo's with eachother.

[Gluttonous Consumption] is basically Daphne powers too eat anyone Memory, Name, ability and then that person, [Gluttonous Edge] makes black smoke arm that can grab, cut, move objects and still eat things, [Gluttony Eater] will he read what it does.

Subaru rubbed his temples as he processed everything.

"So basically…" He took a deep breath. "Gluttonous Consumption lets me devour memories, names, abilities, and even the person themselves. Gluttonous Edge gives me those black smoke arms that can grab, cut, move objects, and still consume things. And Gluttony Eater drains stamina completely just by touch.*"

He exhaled. "Yeah, that's insane."

Daphne chuckled. "Fufu~, you're finally realizing it? My Authorities aren't just about eating. They're about domination. No one can fight back if they don't even remember who they are."

Echidna smirked. "And with how well your Authorities are synchronizing… well, let's just say you're on the path to something far beyond a simple Authority user."

Subaru's eyes narrowed. "Far beyond, huh?"

Ding!

[Passive Skill Acquired: Hunger's Dominion]

[Effect: Authorities of Gluttony now share a unified resource pool. Devouring energy from any source strengthens all three abilities simultaneously.]

Subaru blinked. "...Okay, now it's getting ridiculous."

Minerva folded her arms. "I told you not to get reckless!"

Pandora smirked. "Too late~. He's already drowning in power."

Subaru sighed. "This is why I was worried about turning into Amon…"

Sekhmet yawned. "Mmm~. Then don't~. Just make sure we are the only ones you ever eat~."

Carmilla blushed. "P-please d-don't eat me…!"

Subaru groaned, facepalming. "This is not how I wanted this conversation to go…"

Subaru then went back too the Shop and bought [High-Grade healing Potions 10x] ] [Elixir Of Stamina 10x] and [Soul Fortifications] for him self. "I gonna give the first two to the members of the Witch's Hands".

Subaru checked his inventory as the new items materialized.

[High-Grade Healing Potions x10] – Capable of instantly healing severe wounds and even regenerating lost limbs with enough doses.

[Elixir of Stamina x10] – Completely restores stamina and removes fatigue.

[Soul Fortifications] – Strengthens the user's soul, making them more resistant to mental interference, curses, and soul-based attacks.

He pocketed the Soul Fortifications for himself and looked at the other two items.

"The Witch's Hands could definitely use these…"

Minerva peeked over his shoulder. "Stockpiling already? Smart move."

Subaru nodded. "We're getting stronger, but we still need safety nets. If something happens, I want the others to have a way to stay in the fight."

Pandora smirked. "How thoughtful of you~. I bet they'll appreciate it."

Typhon tilted her head. "Big brother, are you gonna hand these out now?"

Subaru considered it. "Yeah. No point in holding onto them if they can help now."

He closed the shop menu and turned to leave the Hanging Garden, ready to distribute the items to his allies in the Witch's Hands.

Subaru then remember as he looked at Sekhmet. "Sekhmet what the hell did you mean by eating you guys".

Sekhmet smirked looking at him. "What do you think".

His face e turned red as he yalled. "You all are pervert".

Minerva then spoke. "Hey"

Subaru looked at her as he spoke. "Ok Not you, Carmilla and Typhon".

Sekhmet chuckled lazily, stretching her arms. "Mmm~ You're the one who thought of it that way, not me~"

Echidna sipped her tea with a smirk. "Oh? So you do think of us in that way, Subaru?"

Subaru groaned, covering his face. "I walked right into that one, didn't I?"

Carmilla fidgeted, her face turning red. "I-I d-didn't… I-I w-would never…"

Typhon, on the other hand, grinned mischievously. "Big brother, you're funny when you're flustered!"

Minerva sighed, crossing her arms. "You all are impossible."

Pandora simply smirked, enjoying the chaos. "I think he's just embarrassed because he knows he can't handle all of us~"

Subaru groaned even louder. "Can we please change the topic before I actually die of embarrassment?"

Satella looked at Subaru as he spoke. "Does thoughts are perfectly normal Subaru, we are your. Lover's and it is only natural for you think of us that way".

Subaru turned even redder, his mind short-circuiting. "S-Satella, not you too!"

Echidna giggled, her smirk widening. "She does have a point, you know."

Minerva rolled her eyes. "Tch, leave the poor guy alone. He's already overwhelmed as it is."

Sekhmet yawned, giving Subaru a lazy grin. "Mmm~ You better get used to it, Subaru. You are stuck with us forever~"

Subaru sighed, rubbing his temples. "I swear, you all enjoy seeing me suffer."

Typhon beamed. "Of course! That's what makes it fun!"

Pandora chuckled. "You brought this upon yourself, darling~"

Subaru groaned again. "I should've known this was going to happen when I agreed to be with you all…"

Satella hugged him tightly. "And you love every moment of it, don't you?"

Subaru muttered under his breath, defeated. "…Damn it, yeah, I do."
