[Graves put on his skull mask. And, he felt comfortable with that mask.]
Graves: "Whew... This mask is a bit tight... But it feels good."

[After putting that mask, Graves opens the menu, and...]
Graves: "What the...?"

[And strangely... There are two items in Graves' inventory (one weapon and one outfit). It left him a little confused.]
Graves: "Since when i have this things? I don't even have a weapon when i got here."

[Graves equipped the weapon and the outfit. And when he looks at the mirror in front of him... he feels amazed.]

Graves: "Damn... I look like a Demon Slayer right now. Heh... Suits me well."

*PING!*
*YOU HAVE A NEW MESSAGE!*
[A notification appeared in front of Graves. And he opens his menu and check his message, and...]

TO : Ghost
FROM : Unknown

Heya, Graves! It's me, Eris! Sorry I forgot to give these two items to you! Put all of that to good use, okay!?

*PLAK!*
[Graves slapped his own forehead after reading that message.]
Graves: "Fucking Hell... I never thought a Beautiful and Kind Goddess like Eris... Could be a forgetful type."

[Graves sighed a little. And he walks away from the market.]
Graves: "Hehe~ Don't be mad at me for borrowing your name, Ghost."
