When Lisa opened her eyes again, she found herself in a completely different place. In front of her, a color she had only heard of in legends.
[Gold]
It was pure gold. In the City Forgotten by God, the overall tone was almost entirely gray. The sky was gray, the grass was gray, everything was gray. There were only legends circulating about such things.
The world is not only gray, however the City Forgotten by God is the territory of the God of Ashes, the God of the gray color, so everything that inhabits it is gray. It is ironic that the territory of a God is called a city forgotten by him.
This is the first time Lisa, a native citizen of the Forgotten City, saw something different from the usual dull gray. Even her hair—she looked again and realized it was not gray. It was a dark color?
She does not know what the color is, but she realized it was not a lie.
The world really is not only gray. The world has other colors and they are beautiful. Even she does not have the same gray hair and gray skin, gray eyes.
She does not know the name of this color since it is her first time seeing it, but she feels that it is really beautiful. The hair looks like the darkness of the night, so this color should be called dark color? She thought.
In truth, she is not as calm as she appears. If this were not the sacred place of the gods, she would like to jump with joy, kiss the ground, and touch all these colors. This is normal in childish curiosity.
Besides gray, the only proof that other colors exist in the territory of ashes is the "brightness" of the sun and the "darkness" of the night, the only situations where there is no gray.
Of course, even so, in the view of the people of the Forgotten City it is the same thing. The difference is light gray and dark gray. In the end, it was not a different color, just another type of gray.
However, this was enough for the inhabitants to prove that other colors exist in the world.
For Lisa, she only cared about surviving. She never cared so much whether the world had another color, because she knew that even if it did, it would have nothing to do with her.
Even the extraordinary pendant she found had no other color, it was only gray.
She did not know that such beautiful colors existed in the world and felt an even stronger impulse to leave the Gray Kingdom.
She also wanted to see a different world. There was no one left after the old woman who raised her passed away. She had to bury her alone. She had nothing and no one anymore.
Holding back the tears in her eyes, the girl walked along the golden path. She did not know what her destination was, but after walking for some time, she saw a building with different colors.
Again, she did not recognize any. Entering through the already open door, the only word Lisa could think of was:
[Large]
This hall was very large and she was shocked. It was simply dazzling, but she could not find words to describe its beauty.
Lisa looked around and stopped with her eyes fixed on the being at the end of the hall.
He wore a golden mask with a golden robe and a golden circle on his back.
The only difference was that his hair was dark like mine, the only part of his body exposed that was not golden. She found it very beautiful even without seeing his face.
At his side was an unknown creature. She had wings on her back, golden hair, and a circle similar to the being on the throne, but above her head.
She circled around the being on the throne like a guardian protecting her master. She seemed beautiful.
Then, after a moment of distraction, she knelt down and lowered her head as fast as possible to appear reverent, as the old woman had taught her.
Always in the presence of a God, make yourself humble, because you do not know their temperament. It is always good to lower your head before he becomes irritated.
So when Vicente also came out of his distracted state, he could only see the first client kneeling, and before he spoke, she spoke first.
[Your believer greets you, great God, owner of the shop]
And then he heard a sound in his ear, resembling Ellie's voice.
[Energy detected. Can be converted into points. Do you wish to convert? Provisional name: faith]
[Can be converted. Yes/No]
(Yes) Vicente thought silently.
[You converted a thread of pure faith worth 100 points]
Vicente: Wow… what an unexpectedly good surprise.
Looking at this child, she seemed bathed in gold. Besides this pleasant surprise, we have to go back a few minutes to the reason for his distraction.
(We return to when Lisa entered the domain of the shop)
At that moment, Vicente and Ellie were striking various poses, trying to look extremely sacred or sublime.
But at the exact moment Lisa entered the domain, whether Vicente who fused with the shop or Ellie, the spirit of the shop artifact, both stopped at the same time.
Both looked exactly at the precise location where Lisa was and fixed their eyes on the pendant on her neck. Both felt a palpitation and desire from the depths of their being.
In the next moment, information appeared in the minds of Ellie and Vicente at the same time.
What this child carries on her neck is a piece of the "Supreme Shop"...
Vicente asked Ellie tensely: Ellie, answer me just one thing, just one thing.
Ellie: Master, I know exactly what you want to ask, and in my defense, I just learned the situation, and yes, Ellie has an answer.
The situation is more or less like this. Apparently, you did not fuse with the complete "Supreme Shop," but rather with its core.
If we speak like the human body, the core is the heart. Now imagine a guy running, but every piece of him was torn off.
Now these pieces are lost, even to the attackers, because the guy ran very fast. Only his heart (core) escaped.
After that, this is our current situation, my lord.
Vicente: But Ellie, I remember that my information was that since it was fused to my being, it could evolve. Was that false?
Ellie replied: No, my lord, this is not a lie. It is like that Chinese saying:
["When a person reaches the Dao, all chickens and dogs ascend to heaven"]
The shop is linked to you. Since you fused with its core, even if by chance we cannot find the other missing parts of the shop's body,
The remaining authorities and rules of the shop would still evolve and self-recover along with your strength when your strength surpasses the shop's original classification.
As part of it, I and the other spirit that is sleeping, the shop that fused with you will surpass the original classification. As shop spirits, we will gain tremendous benefits.
With the increase of strength, at the beginning it restores the classification until it returns. If we find fragments, it recovers faster, adjusting each function in essence.
Vicente: So I really had a death limit???
Ellie: No, my lord, you do not. However, there are still ways to kill you, even if it is difficult.
However, master, do not worry for now. The possible death is based on the assumption that you leave the shop in some way.
But my lord, you do not need to worry. If my calculations are correct, your life-saving ability will reach a new level when you fuse this fragment.
Of course, this assumes that my calculations are correct.
Vicente, still stunned, did not realize that Lisa had already appeared inside the hall...
So that was more or less the situation, and we return to our current situation...
