"Where the heck am I?" Clovis squinted his eyes, looking at the only room that was lit up. The arrangement of the shelves, the food items within the shelves, and the cashier area reminded him of a grocery store.

    Another screen appeared before him. Instead of a white screen, the one before him was blue, indicating that it was different from the nano-implant in his brain.

    [Welcome to Another World Mall.]

    [Generating Status...]

    [Name: Clovis Hacfield.]

    [Membership: None]

    [Money: 17 Otherworldly Coins.]

    [Item Limit: 1/Visit]

    [Visit: 0(1)/Day]

    "Another World Mall?" Clovis furrowed his eyebrows. He looked at the entire area that had been darkened. With just the shadow of those stores, it did resemble a mall.

    Still, he didn''t know where he was currently or how he arrived at this place, so he grabbed his sword, which didn''t seem to be brought together with him. Even the chain attached to his left arm had disappeared.

    Since he didn''t have a weapon with him, the first thing Clovis did was step to the side, trying to check the other areas.

    However, his hand suddenly touched an invisible wall, startling Clovis. Even after applying a bit more strength, he didn''t feel it was going to budge.

    "It seems that I can only go to this one place." Clovis muttered as he approached the store carefully.

    While walking, Clovis saw the screen again and noticed a peculiar thing.

    "17 Otherworldly Coins? Isn''t it..." Clovis tried to grab the wallet in his pocket, but just like his swords, the wallet disappeared. "It''s the same amount of money that is within my wallet."

    There were a lot of questions in Clovis''s head, but he surely had one big question in his mind. Could he actually return to where he was?

    While thinking about it, Clovis walked inside the grocery store. Now that he was stuck in it, he had to explore this area. He still maintained his awareness around him, making sure that he didn''t fall into an ambush.

    Once inside, he was greeted by a basket that contained three types of vegetables.

    The moment his eyes were locked onto them, each vegetable showed its description.

    Name: Elven Carrot (Tier 0)

    Description: Cultivated by the Wooden Elf Race.

    Effect: Brain +0.5%@@@@

    Price: 5 Otherworldly Coins

    Name: Elven Radish (Tier 0)

    Description: Cultivated by the Wooden Elf Race.

    Effect: Bone +0.5%

    Price: 5 Otherworldly Coins

    Name: Elven Onion (Tier 0)

    Description: Cultivated by the Wooden Elf Race.

    [Buy the registered items?]

    [Yes/No]

    Clovis carefully tapped the ''Yes,'' and the computer let out another *beep* sound, startling him. The computer screen was reset, and the onion disappeared.

    The screen was updated with a display of onions. There were a few empty slots, which might be for other items in the future.

    And at the bottom of the screen, he saw a ''Return'' button. Once he tapped on it, the scenery before his eyes began to disappear. The darkness filled his vision for a second before the rain poured on him once again.

    "Woah?!" Clovis''s heart skipped a beat. "Was that another dimension? I have to visit that place every day and take advantage of all the items there to get stronger. But I might be so busy in the Subterranean World that I couldn''t go there. No, what if someone saw me disappear?

    "This mall is a double-edged sword. I have to be careful using it, and it''s clear that I can''t group up with people. Well, that''s not a problem. I do still want to have a group, but no one wants to party with a useless person who only has a 15% evolution rate. I should question them if they have hidden intentions if they invite me."

    Clovis sighed while grabbing the two swords on the ground. He took out his phone and ordered takeout. "Well, we''re talking about onions. Since I can''t afford cooking oil, I should just eat it raw with a noodle dish."

    His demeanor seemed to have calmed down.

    While waiting for the takeout, Clovis was changing his clothes while testing a few things about this mysterious power.

    "How do I take out the onion? System? Hello? Bonjour?!" Clovis tilted his head in confusion. "How do I enter that mall—!"

    When he mentioned the word ''mall,'' the screen flashed before his eyes.

    [Another World Mall.]

    [Inventory: Onion x1]

    [Enter]

    "Oh? That word is the trigger." Clovis was quite curious about it, so he touched the ''Enter'' button, but nothing happened. "It seems that I can''t enter the mall. Ah, I almost forgot!"

    Clovis hurriedly checked out his wallet and noticed that his money was still there.

    "Hmm, the money remains. If I return with this amount of money... I don''t think it''s going to show 17 coins again. So, the same money might not be able to be used again. What about credit cards? Debit? I can only test it one at a time," Clovis sighed, trying to list a lot of things to explore in the mall.

    Of course, he also cut up the onion and put it on the noodle.

    As soon as he ate everything, Clovis hurriedly opened the system, which ended up putting a smile on his face.

    Name: Clovis Hacfield

    Tier: 0

    Evolution Rate: 15%

    Brain: 0%

    Heart: 0%

    Blood: 0%

    Muscle: 0.5%

    Bones: 0%

    "The effect is more amazing because it bypasses the evolution rate. In other words, the effect that I read in the description would reflect the actual change instead of being converted by the evolution rate."

    Clovis pumped his fist. "In that case, let''s get some money and visit the Subterranean World within three days."
