Chapter 3 – First Salary
I was lying inside my egg shell full of soft pearls, looking at the sky. I was no longer sleepy, thanks to an annoying crab, so I had the idea to open the system's shop.
((Shop)/) (\MD 1,000/)
Welcome to the shop, user! Here you can buy anything you need for your world domination. (•^-^•)
-Food/ Medicines - Slaves
-Skills - Magic Items
-Miners - Animals/ Pets
-Plant materials - Accessories
-Clothes/ Armor - Technology
-Hmm, where do I click first?... Since food is first.
I opened the food tab and started browsing. There are so many strange things here.
- Carcass of klpys? I don’t know what that is, but knowing that I can buy them separately or as whole carcasses... but I think I need to find the milk. Does it have a search bar?
Once I found the search bar, I found several types of milk. The worst part is that the milk from the crystal-scaled mermaids was the most expensive. While the others cost 5 MD, this one costs 10 MD. I felt robbed.
- Doing some math, around 300 MD per month to feed myself, and the worst part is that I can't buy everything at once. Without a fridge, it would spoil quickly. I think one a day should be enough to not go bankrupt. I’ll complete the rest with the crab.
I bought the milk, and magically, a plastic baby bottle fell into my arms.
- Convenient for a baby, but if this happens every time, I’ll end up destroying the sea. The first sea to be destroyed just by bottles.
I put it in my mouth and started emptying the bottle while browsing the shop.

- Maybe there’s an inventory skill, that would be really useful.
I opened the Skills tab and started looking.
- 400,000 - Thorn Barrier
- 700,000 - Area Heal
- 900,000 - Fly
- 200,000 - Legs
- Wow, I feel like I’m leaving a corner shop and entering a car dealership. These prices are way too high.
I kept browsing until I found it.
- 10,000 - Basic Inventory: 20 spaces
- 30,000 - Medium Inventory: 40 spaces
- 60,000 - Large Inventory: 80 spaces
- 90,000 - Giant Inventory: 160 spaces
- I can afford it, but it will take some time. Still, the spaces are quite few. If I use this, it’ll have to be with really important things.
I continued browsing the shop for hours. When I realized, it was already night, but inside the nest, it was still bright. Not as bright as during the day, but still enough light to see the nest.
- Yeah... so much research to find out that a lot of this I can’t use because I’m too small or I don’t have money.
I sighed and looked at the last tab I had seen so far.
- Let’s see the slave tab... pretty wrong, but according to the woman who poisoned me, there’s no well-formed civilization here, so this must be pretty common in this world.
(WARNING: This tab is updated at different times from the others. Some beings in it may suddenly disappear due to death or leaving slavery. Like slaves from primitive tribes, they are easily subject to death, much more than other primitive individuals. So, sometimes the purchase may not be completed, or the individual may die after purchase. This warning also applies to the Mounts/Pets tab. NO REFUNDS IN CASES OF DEATH AFTER PURCHASE. The system is not responsible for you being dumb (•^-^•))
- If you hadn’t yelled at me, I would’ve definitely been too lazy to read all this text.
I kept looking at the tab, which basically looked like a gallery of beautiful people.
- Not a single one with scars? These people don’t even get ugly, even as slaves?! I didn’t see anyone with skin problems, everyone uses filters, it doesn’t even look like these beings are from the stone age.
With a bit of envy, I kept looking and being shocked. Even eggs were for sale, but the sad part is that many beings kept disappearing and reappearing.
- Thinking more about it, this is kind of sad... so many people dying or being enslaved.
I ended up feeling a bit sad about this thought and, without realizing it, touched one of the photos.

[200 MDs]
- Wow... poor old guy, but it’s cheap. Maybe because he’s less than half-health.
At that moment, I realized the baby bottle in my hands disappeared with a puff. It seems the milk ran out, and magically the bottle returned to the system. Sleep quickly followed, my vision became blurry, and I fell asleep without even realizing it. My arm ended up touching the shop tab.
