Fantasy Realm [One Piece] [Harry Potter] [Naruto] - [Progression] [LitRPG]

Chapter 167: Death Notes and Potato Chips

Alex, Tereza, and Menchi stare at the items Rishi has laid out before them.

[Death Note (Weakened)]
World: Death Note
Quality: Light Gold
Type: Tome (Notebook)
Effect: After writing the full name of your target and associating it with their face, the target will suffer 100 true damage 40 seconds later. (This damage cannot be reduced or negated by normal means.) You may specify a time for the damage to occur, up to 23 hours in the future. This ability can only be used once per target (per world).
Effect: The note contains only 5 pages. Writing a name causes the page to burn immediately. Pages are replenished after each world.
Effect: You can use up to 5 Soul Crystals (medium) to permanently add extra pages to the note.
Note: On worlds with different time systems, the timing of the effect may vary.
Note: No shinigami oversees this note. It has been removed from its original realm, significantly diminishing its power and potential. Despite this, it remains a lethal tool capable of instantly killing weaker targets.
Note: This item is under strict observation by the system and may not function under certain circumstances.

"I see what you mean," Alex says, examining the [Death Note (Weakened)] closely. "It's no longer instant death, and you can't even control the target's actions. It's just five uses, each dealing 100 true damage. Also, the effect doesn't last for up to 23 days anymore—just 23 hours. Still, it seems really useful. True damage means it completely ignores defenses, right? There are players running around with less than 10 PHY. They'd die instantly! But the real downside is your lack of access to the Shinigami eyes... that means you can't always figure out full names. Still, against most plot characters, this thing is devastating." Alex's voice rises with excitement as he analyzes the item. "Who knows what happens if you feed it enough Soul Crystals..."

Rishi listens in silence as Alex continues.

[Light's Watch]
World: Death Note
Quality: Light Purple
Type: Trinket (Wristwatch)
Effect: Always displays the correct time.
Effect: Increases CHA by 1 (Flat boost, not increased by skills)
Effect: Can be activated once per mission to obtain a single use of the Death Note (Weakened). The timing of the damage cannot be specified. After writing the full name of your target and associating it with their face, the target will suffer 100 true damage 40 seconds later. (This damage cannot be reduced or negated by normal means.)
Note: A modified wristwatch with a hidden compartment containing a torn piece of the Death Note. Includes a small needle for writing the target's name in your own blood.
Note: This item is under strict observation by the system and may not function under certain circumstances.

"Damn, I remember this watch," Alex says, turning his attention to the [Light's Watch]. "It's kinda iconic. Its effect is almost identical to the Death Note, except you can't specify the time of death. Still, it's useful since you can eliminate your target right in front of them without leaving any evidence. But one thing really worries me—both items mention that their effects may not work. I guess that depends on the mission context? It seems like their use could be 'broken,' depending on the circumstances."

"You're pretty hyped about these items, Alex," Menchi comments, raising an eyebrow as she watches his enthusiasm.

"I guess it's hard to explain, but these are such cool items," Alex replies, his face lighting up. "Even with their effects nerfed, they're treasures most people would kill for... but you know what's really terrifying, Rishi? There's nothing here that says the Death Note can't be used in the Realm or the real world. At least the watch specifies that it's mission-only, but the Death Note? If it works in the real world, you could throw everything into chaos in just 40 seconds! If someone survives the Realm and keeps this item... nothing can stop them. You could become a real-life Kira!"
