Exiting the enhancement screen, Yuki turned his attention to the system's shop.
The sheer variety of items on display was overwhelming, rows upon rows of products, each more dazzling than the last.
Thankfully, the filter and search functions made things much easier to navigate.
After a quick browse, Yuki noticed that the shop had everything imaginable, from items worth just a few dozen points to those priced at unfathomable numbers (we're talking thirty-digit figures).
Since the shop supposedly contained goods from across the multiverse, he couldn't help but wonder—how much would his own [Cosmic Heart], obtained from his system, be worth here?
Curious, he typed [Cosmic Heart] into the search bar.
Holy crap.
Twenty-six digits.
How many lifetimes would it take to save up that many points?! This only reinforced his belief that his original system was far superior.
Still, the chat group had its uses—it made up for his biggest limitation: being unable to travel to other worlds.
For some unknown reason, Yuki had discovered that crossing into other fictional universes was impossible at his current power level.
Only beings on the level of OAA—those who surpassed omniversal-tier strength—could freely traverse different story worlds.
But with the chat group...
This was his chance to interact with female characters from other worlds, building intimacy points along the way!
Meanwhile, inside the chat group, Saeko Busujima, Sword Saint, was explaining how to earn points.
Sword Saint: "Aside from daily check-ins, we can also earn points by altering the course of our worlds' events."
Goddess of the Moon: "Altering events? You mean... changing fate?"
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: "That must be it!"
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: "But since none of us know our own future, this is a bit confusing."
Yuki, silently reading the chat, pondered this.
So, changing the plot earns points... but it seems none of them actually know their original destinies.
And the chat group hasn't provided them with that information either.
Sword Saint: "But just by joining this group, we've already deviated from our original fates, right?"
Vase Leader: "That's true! Once I have enough points, I can eliminate the Gastrea and end this nightmare for good! (Fighting!)"
Goddess of the Moon: "Maybe we should all describe our worlds? That way, we can compare notes."
Young Miss of the East: "Lady Artemis, that's a great idea!"
Sword Saint: "Agreed!"
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: "No objections here."
Soon, everyone began sharing details about their respective worlds.
Of course, Saeko and the others were most interested in Artemis and Yuki's worlds, since the original four members already knew each other's settings.
Goddess of the Moon: "Huh? Saint's world has such strange creatures? That sounds... kind of fascinating!"
Vase Leader: "It's not fascinating at all!"
Sword Saint: "All your worlds seem so interesting. Mine's just... a normal, peaceful world."
Vase Leader: "Uh... I'd much rather live in your world, Saeko!"
From Saeko Busujima's words, Yuki deduced that her timeline was still in the peaceful days before the zombie outbreak.
Near-Omnipotent: "Actually, Saeko-senpai... I have a feeling your world isn't as peaceful as you think."
Sword Saint: "Oh? Yuki-kun, do you know something we don't?"
Vase Leader: "That's right! Since Yuki-san is practically omnipotent, you must have some inside info, right?!"
Near-Omnipotent (Rin Yuki): "You're overestimating me—I'm nearly omnipotent, not truly all-knowing. I'm just going off intuition here."
He couldn't just declare Saeko's fate outright—after all, this wasn't some anime or manga anymore.
This was real life, where even the smallest deviation could change everything.
Near-Omnipotent: "Still, Saeko-senpai, always stay on guard. If anything happens, you can always ask the group for help."
Sword Saint: "I will. Thank you for your concern, Yuki-kun."
Near-Omnipotent: "No problem. Feel free to reach out anytime."
Vase Leader: "Oho~? That sounds awfully personal coming from you, Yuki-san! Could it be~?"
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: "It's normal for a young man to chase a woman chuckle~"
Near-Omnipotent: "Ahem! Let's not jump to conclusions. I'm here to help all of you. Anyway, since I've got 100 points to spare, I'll try my luck with the gacha!"
Saeko Busujima Perspective
Location: Fujimi Academy, Kendō Club
Clad in her kendō uniform, the violet-haired girl sat cross-legged on the polished wooden floor, a faint smile playing on her lips as she read the chat.
Saeko Busujima—heir of the prestigious Shindo Kendo lineage, national champion by her second year, and now the captain of Fujimi Academy's Kendō Club in her third.
"A swordsman must always remain vigilant."
Her voice was calm, but her striking features softened for a moment.
"Yuki-kun… I wonder what kind of person you are?"
A flicker of curiosity warmed her chest—until reality crept back in.
"But… being loved?"
"That feels… distant."
Her grip tightened.
Memories of her "flaw", the dark thrill she felt in battle—made her hesitate.
Could someone like me… truly deserve affection?
For the first time in years, Saeko Busujima felt unsure.
As she stood there, the news of Yuki's lucky draw buzzed through the group chat.
It caught Busujima Saeko's attention.
[System Alert: Congratulations! "Near-Omnipotent" has won 「World Leap Ticket」x1 from the Beginner's Gacha!]
Inazuma Shadow Warrior: "Whoa! That's a huge pull!"
Vase Leader: "What does a 'World Leap Ticket' even do?"
Young Miss of the East: "Found it in the shop! It's worth 1,000 points and lets you visit another member's world—same as spending the points manually!"
Sword Saint: "So Yuki-kun basically got a 10x return on his gamble. Impressive."
Near-Omnipotent: "Just luck. But this means if any of you are in trouble… I can jump in to help."
Sword Saint: "Yuki-kun, words like that make a girl feel very safe, you know?"
Vase Leader: "Ohoho~? Could it be our dear Saeko-chan is starting to fall for someone~?"
After chatting a bit longer with the group, Yuki finally logged off.
Ding-dong!
The school bell rang, signaling the end of class—and instantly, Yuki's desk became ground zero for a swarm of lovestruck girls.
"Yuki-sama, are you free after school?"
"Here, I made you chocola—"
Yuki smiled politely, deflecting their advances with practiced ease, but his attention was fixed on Tobiichi Origami beside him.
The white-haired girl sat deathly still, her icy gaze locked onto him like a sniper's scope.
Every time a girl got too close—especially if they "accidentally" brushed against him—her fingers twitched, and her eyes darkened with something dangerously close to murderous intent.
'…She's one wrong move away from summoning Metatron and vaporizing this entire classroom.'
Because yes—Tobiichi Origami was now a Spirit.
Yuki had sensed it the moment he saw her: the faint hum of spiritual energy clinging to her like static.
'Must've happened when I messed with the timeline.'
