The Extra's Dominance

July 1, 2080, Wednesday.

11:45 A.M.

[Raven's POV]

Tok- Tok-

As I was playing with Levina and Yuki in the lounge after doing my daily training today...

Someone knocked on the door.

"You guys play in the other room for a bit."

I ordered Levina and Yuki.

-Okay!

-Kyu!

Which they responded positively.

After that, they excitedly flew toward the 2nd bedroom and then they entered inside.

That room is currently not in use, so it's serving as a playground for Levina and Yuki.

If you're asking what they're 'playing'.

Well... Levina is testing all the artifacts that I stole from Barry and Sean.

Yuki is accompanying Levina so in case an artifact malfunction, she can just immediately stop it by using her own <Devour> skill or by storing them in her spatial storage.

The artifacts aren't that high-grade nor dangerous so Yuki can do it.

Tok- Tok-

Anyway, I stood up from the black sofa I'm sitting and immediately went to the door.

Swoosh-

Click-

Then I opened it...

And a familiar person greeted me.

"Joseph."

I happily muttered that person's name.

"Raven! How are you?"

And he responded back with the same energy.

"I'm doing just fine."

I replied.

Joseph is not an important character.

But he's a pretty high-ranking general staff here at Lunar.

I got to know him one sunday when he once personally brought an item that I ordered online to my room.

They we're quite short in staffs that day, so he was forced to do it himself...

And when we met that time, we got all friendly.

I was acting all polite to him that day and he's pretty tired, so it was easy to get him to like me.

I just need to give him some praises and compliments.

And of course admiration and respect, most humans are weak against them after all.

Anyway, since then, Joseph would sometimes personally deliver me things that were sent to me!

Each time, I will always make sure to give him a small gift for our little friendship...

And in exchange, Joseph always helps me when he can.

For example, yesterday, I need to get out of the academy to meet with someone.

Usually it would take me minutes or even hours to get a permission.

It's not allowed to get one before hand. And there are also a lot of procedures for security reasons.

But yesterday, Joseph told his coworkers that are guarding the academy's gate to let me out without much hassle!

And because I also have a pretty good relationship with those guards, because of my small gifts...

They let me out immediately!

"Your new room is as nice as heaven!"

Joseph then said when he looked inside the room.

"Yeah, I did a lot of hard work for this room."

I replied.

"Well, that's to be expected considering how luxurious the place is!"

Joseph exclaimed.

"Anyway, a delivery for you."

Then he added and handed me a small box that's only as big as my hand.

"Oh, thanks."

"It's no problem."

Joseph replied with a smile.

"You're such a good friend...."

I mumbled.

Then I reached out a thousand zeals to Joseph.

"This is why you're my favorite student here at Lunar."

Joseph stated as he took the zeals from my hand.

"Then, see ya."

"Yeah, thanks again..."

And after that, Joseph left with a bright smile on his face.

[Man, you're just using his authority...]

Sariel then said to me.

"What are you talking about? We're friends."

"And friends always help out each other."

And I replied.

Click-

Then I closed the door and went back to the lounge.

After that, I immediately opened the box that I recieved.

And inside of it is a plain obsidian-black ring!

"Finally, it's here..."

I mumbled as the corner of my lips started going up.

But without further ado, I took the ring from the box and wore it in the index finger of my left hand.

Swoosh-

Then, I took out my [Nyx] from my spatial storage/[ROG]...

Fwish-!

And stored it in my new ring! The [Nyx] immediately disappeared!

Fwish-!

And when I tried taking it out, it immediately appeared on top of my left palm without delay!

"Now, this is what I'm talking about."

I said as a satisfied smile formed on my face.

The ring I bought is called [Quick Slot], it's a man-made artifact that has the same functions as the spatial storages.

With just some special adjustments...

The good thing in [Quick Slot] is one can store items in it and retrieve them in less than a second!

Spatial storage takes 1-2 seconds to retrieve or store items in them...

Though, quick slots can only store few things in them and they're much more expensive than spatial storages!

The [Quick Slot] I have right now roughly cost me 8 million zeals!

Anyway, I ordered it after the combat test...

It's because after fighting with Sean, I noticed that I can't dual wield a gun and a sword properly...

I tried doing it for the first time in the combat test, and I encountered some problems.

I know I can solve those problems by practicing.

But I don't have time for that right now because of the upcoming major events in the near future...

'I need to be stronger.'

So as an alternative for practicing, the quick slot can solve those problems for me!

'With quick slot, I can–!'

Ting-

As I was about to think about how I would use the [Quick Slot]... I recieved a text.

I immediately took out my phone and checked it.

There are several messages sent to me, and some of them have files or videos attached on them.

And after skimming through the contents of the texts, a mischievous smile crept up on my face.

[You look creepy as fuck.]

Sariel stated.

"I don't care."

I replied and stood up.

'I need to prepare for later.'

I thought.

"Sariel."

Then I called out.

[Yes?]

"Forward all the files and videos from the messages that I just received to Ruby."

"And tell her to immediately sell them to the federation."

I commanded Sariel.

And just after a second...

[Done.]

He already fulfilled my order.

"Man, I'm so glad I decided to connect you to the internet."

[Fuck off, because of that, you're using me as a messenger!]

Sariel complained.

"Come on, you're using it sometimes to browse through the internet."

"Because of that, you're knowledge is growing!"

"Isn't it good that you can do more things now?"

I stated in a sly voice.

[...]

"You think I don't know that you made your own social media accounts?"

"And that you're arguing with random people from time to time when you're bored?"

I asked Sariel.

[Raven, shut up.]

Then he responded.

"Heh, I wouldn't, bitch."

I replied.
