[Your summon, Nyct, killed a level 3 aberrant, earned 100xp, 5Sp]

[Your summon, Nyct, killed a level 2 aberrant, earned 50xp, 2Sp]

"So loot drops are random, hmm?" Zen muttered as he caressed his chin. Then he recalled he had not checked the loots that had been dropped after he killed the level 1 aberrant.

"Sakura, check your inventory, is anything there?" Zen looked at Sakura and said.

"Hmm?" Sakura was confused.

"I want to check if you also got some loot after I killed that level 1 aberrant" Zen answered to which Sakura just nodded.

"The Oracle Records notified me that I had gotten a share of the loot after you killed it"

Zen nodded as he walked back into the store with Sakura in tow, they sat at a corner and began to empty their inventory together.

Purple crystals fell out of the void, a pair of boots, cloaks of different designs, a jacket, a pair of gauntlets, arm guards, swords, staffs, gemstones, some books and several other things. Everything piled up into a boulder size.

"This is too much, I'm sure I didn't see this many when I checked before" Sakura said.

Zen nodded, "I think I got some loot from Nyct's kills"

He picked up a purple crystal and a prompt appeared in front of his eyes.

[Purple Crystal(Common)-when crushed, permanently increases a constitution attribute by 2 points, attributes chosen is random]

"Hmm, good stuff" Zen nodded and crushed the purple crystal with his hand, he immediately felt a small amount of energy flow into him.

[2 points added to Strength]

[STR - 32>>34]

Zen looked at Sakura beside him and noticed that she was wearing a pair of new boots.

[Wind Walkers - creates by a powerful articifier, increase agility by 100 points when worn]

"Isn't she like the flash, now?" Zen muttered as he looked at the boots with shiny eyes.

"Do you like it?"

Sakura looked at him with a smile and nodded, he felt gratified in his heart. You know that feeling where you can give your girl whatever she wanted. This was how Zen was feeling at the moment.

"Take whatever you fancy, alright... Don't hold back" Zen said as he caressed her hair.

Thank you, apocalypse, I've got a girlfriend and I can get her whatver she wanted.

"Zen, you can have this" Sakura's voice pulled him out of his thoughts. He looked towards her, she was handing a ring to him and his eyes widened.

Aren't we moving a bit too fast?

"It's a spatial artifact, dummy, I got one too..." Sakura chuckled and raised her other finger at him, he saw a ring on her index finger.

"Oh, I wouldn't mind if we used a spatial artifact as our wedding rings you know?" Zen murmured as he collected the ring and began to examine it.

The ring was silver with some runic engravings on it, he wore it on his finger and saw how his finger couldn't fit in perfectly, but the ring immediately began to adjust to his size before it fit perfectly.

[Spatial artifact (Ring) equipped]

[Bound to host, once lost, no one can retrieve the items inside except by a ninth order inscriptionist , spatial area increases as host's level increases]

"A growth type artifact, nice" Zen said as he admired the ring in his finger. He never expected himself to get a space ring like in the novels.

"Do you like it?" Sakura asked from the side. She was happy she was able to give Zen something be woukd like from the pile before them. When she saw Zen nod his head, her heart felt full.

They both went back to looking through the pile in front of them.

Meanwhile, in a building some distances away from the convenience store, four men with tattoos on their body, stood by the window and watched Nyct killing the aberrants.

"Who is this guy?" The red haired asked, he was the bulky one amongst the four and the tallest, he had a huge hammer beside him.

"He came out from that store, I noticed two other people, a boy and a girl, he might be their companion" the black haired with cat like eyes said.

"I noticed them too, the girl was very beautiful... " the guy with an x scar on his chin said as he licked his lips.

"While their companion is busy with killing the aberrants, why don't we pay them a visit?" the last guy said, he had the least tattoos and even wore glasses, compared to the ferocious faces of the other three, he looked more charming.

"A brilliant idea, Oda " the bulky man said as he grabbed his hammer. The other two became hyped thinking about how they would ravage the girl they had just seen.

****

Oblivious of the four, Zen and Sakura sat as they looked at the last of the items from their loots. Zen was not wearing his normal jacket but a black cloak, he also had a gauntlet and a arm guard worn on both hands.

[Infinity Cloak(damaged) - created by a powerful articifier, can make it's wearer invisible, increases agility by 200 points, can defend against physical, mental and magic attacks]

[Warrior's Will (C) - no matter what happens, a warrior never backs down, you either die in battle than run away, basic attributes increase by 30 points during the duration of the skill]

[Duration: 5 minutes... Cool down: 2 hours]

Sakura was also wearing the same arm guards except that they were red, she also wore a black-brown jacket with some fur on it, and had a necklace on her neck.

[Beast Jacket (Uncommon)- increases defence by 100%, accumulates attacks based on damages receives and returns it double]

[Lunar Necklace(Epic)- damaged, grants it's wearer an increase in attack power at night, increase effect when there's a full moon, due to damage, effects reduced by 30%]

Zen picked up one of the gemstones, it was black in color, there were four others but they were of different colors, green, blue, yellow, red.

[Black gem - only drops for the fated one, grants an extra gift, cannot to be given to another]

Zen rose an eyebrow, he dropped the gemstone and picked a red gemstone, he received a prompt.

[Red gem - only drops for the fated, grants one a skill, skill given are based on the user's affinity with an element]

Zen was surprised, he looked at the other gems and they all had the same attribute, aside from the black gem. The black gem was meant for him alone.

Zen gave Sakura the green, blue and yellow gems, while he held onto the black and red ones. Sakura accepted them without asking anything. Zen had expected her to ask why he shared it like that.

"For some reason, I don't feel like I'll be able to get anything from those gems you picked, the gems you gave me, for some reason, I feel they would give me what I want" Sakura said as if she had read Zen's mind.

"Really?" Zen asks and Sakura nodded with a smile before she broke the gems one after the other while staring into space. Zen noticed her smile brightening and felt relieved.

He looked down at the black gem and red gem in his hands and decided to break the red gem first, as soon as he crushed the gem, he received a prompt.

[Sprint skill upgraded to Spatial Shift(SSS)...]
