The Novel's Extra (101-200)

Chapter 163 - Waiting Room

Shoong—

The storage box from before the start of the tutorial appeared in front of me. A window popped up with the list of items I had stored inside.

From the list, I picked three items to take out.

[Aether]

[The armament, Aether, will have its battle prowess restricted by 50%.]

First was Aether.

Aether, which I hadn't seen in a while was sagging down like a sad slime. I reached out to Aether. When I made contact, Aether twitched like a cute caterpillar before trembling and coiling up my arm.

I smiled at it and took out the next item.

[Smartwatch]

I put the laptop-linked smartwatch on my wrist. Aether seeped into the smartwatch and made it look more elegant. It looked somewhat like a Patek Philippe watch. Aether really had great taste.

[Desert Eagle]

And finally, I grabbed the Desert Eagle. The platinum handle's coldness and thickness felt too nostalgic.

"Hm...."

I examined the Desert Eagle then tried fusing it with Aether.

Shotgun mode, sniper rifle mode, assault rifle mode... After trying out each mode once, I was able to confirm that the Desert Eagle had one magazine loaded for each form.

One handgun magazine, one assault rifle magazine, two shotgun shells, and five sniper rifle bullets. That was all I had.

"Um, System-nim?"

Feeling like this wasn't enough, I raised the Desert Eagle, showing it to the Tower's system that should be watching over me.

The storage box contained a box full of magazines. Of course, since that box had hundreds of bullets in it, I didn't expect to get the entire thing. Even a small portion of it was enough.

"Um, you see, this is a gun. Although it might be a bit special, a gun can't be used without bullets..."

I tried to ask just in case.

—Extra7 used Lv.2 Haggling.

—Extra7's Lv.2 Voice of Trust activates.

I was hoping that the system was getting such messages.

"With that in mind, can you give me some extra magazines? I don't need too many."

...Even after a long time, the system didn't reply. Dejected, I put my hand down. It seemed the system couldn't make an exception.

Just when I was thinking so...

[Considering that this weapon is a gun, your request has been accepted.]

"Oh!"

I bowed respectfully as soon as I heard this message.

[However, we hope that you will not use the 「mysterious power」 you possess at lower levels of the Tower.]

[There is a chance that the administrator of the lower levels will consider it an unfair advantage and punish you accordingly.]

"Understood. Thank you."

I nodded. The 'mysterious power' was most likely referring to Stigma.

It didn't matter too much since my use of Stigma was restricted anyways. Currently, I could only use two streaks of Stigma at most. Any more than that and my body wouldn't be able to handle it.
