The Gamer: Naruto World - Chapter 39
“A shop?” Raito looked at the women and asked in confusion, his hands hidden behind his back, still searching for the handle of the door.
“Yes, shop. We the Abyss have been in the business of buying and selling for a very, very long time.” ‘Ten’ acted as if she didn’t see Raito’s struggle continued.
“After coming to Konoha and been here for these odd four years, there have been four purchase. As for this young lord, since you have come, I would like to show you what you can purchase.”
Raito turned around and finally saw that the door had no handle. In frustration, he turned around and breathed deeply, “I don’t have money to buy things, here.”
‘Ten’ smiled charmingly but a pity Raito couldn’t see it. “Someone has already paid for this young lord’s first purchase.”
‘ID Create.’ Raito called out in his mind but the skill didn’t activate, making Raito feel much danger.
“Who paid it? Jiji? Kakashi-sensei? Mari-nee? Shun-nii? Who? And why the heck are you calling me young lord? I want to leave. Let me go.” Raito cried out in anger and panic.
‘Ten’ blinked her beautiful eyes then waved his hands. The door opened with heart scratching sound. Seeing the door opening, Raito hurriedly escaped.
Standing outside the big building, breathing deeply, in and out. Calming down, he looked back then went to sit under a tree.
“I was too scared, but why? Anko-nee, Jiji and Kakashi-sensei even told me that it was a good thing for me.” Ratio staid cross-legged, eating and thinking.
After finally gathering himself up, Raito opened the door and walked in. The women called ‘Ten’ stood in front like a statue with her eyes fixed into Raito.
Raito coughed to hide his embarrassment and said, “I had to do something so…” The lie wasn’t good enough and he knew it. Raito looked around and found that inside was normal to be said, the long corridors with door and a stair leading upwards.
“Anko-nee told me that I was called.” Raito ended the awkward silence.
“Indeed, it was us who asked for you to come, young lord.” ‘Ten’ answered then turned around and walked forward to the first door.
“Why are you still calling me young lord? My name is Raito.” Raito tried explaining.
“This is what we are supposed to call the customer.” She opened the first door and walked in, telling Raito to do the same.
After walking in, Raito saw that ‘Ten’ moved to the other side of a small stall and wait.
“Um… ten-san? What are you doing?” Raito asked to the strange action of ‘Ten’.
“Once you stand in front of the stall, you will naturally understand.” She said then closed her eyes.
Raito turned to look around the room. The room was very, very spacious but there was nothing else. The walls were painted white and the floor had carpets covering the whole floor and lastly the ceiling had lights but only lighting brightly under the stall, other corners of the room only had dim lighting.
Walking unhurriedly, Raito reached in front of the stall but before speaking, a notification popped in front of him.
[We deal from thin air to everything possible.]
[Once inside the Abyss Hall customer private room, the customer can browse the items ready to be shipped and sold. Please don’t ask for source as the sellers are not willing to reveal the origin.]
[Would you like to browse the catalogue?]
[Yes / No]
“Ten-san.” Raito was trembling.
“I wish to ask.”
“Young lord, please understand, you are a very special individual. You have the special ability called “Gamer” that allows you to have a body that allows you to become like a game character, like healing from fatal injuries after sleep and distributing points to raise stats. Along with that you can also learn skills from the skill books and many other things.”
“How do you know about my powers?” Raito went directly with his questions.
“Your power are bestowed by the planet’s consciousness, the Gaia.”
“Gaia? Do you mean mother earth, Gaia? Like it was said in those games??”
“Yes exactly. Because you are here, we naturally are also here. We act as shops like in game, where young lord can buy things.”
“That means that ‘Poison Hall’ is just a place for me to buy things?”
“… Yes.” ‘Ten’ looked at Raito and continued. What we say, what we do, everything remains in this four-corner and never get out. Young lord Raito about your power if fewer people knew it, the better it would be.”
Raito nodded heavily.
“So, then would you like to browse the catalog?” in a sweet charming way ‘Ten’ asked again.
After a long while staring at ‘Ten’, Raito nodded.

‘Even though I wasn’t expecting much.’ “Ten-san, what exactly is going on? One set of shuriken cost 2,500 Ryo and with Genin’s card, I can easily get it with 2,000 Ryo. It’s so expensive.”
‘Ten’ blinked her eyes and covered her mouth which had turned to an ‘O’ then she waved her hands.
The notification tab blurred and text began to appear again.

…
There were so many ‘basic level’ that Raito just closed them and turned to leave.
“Young lord are you not going to buy anything?” ‘Ten’ called out.
“Did you look at the price?” The price was a heart attacker. Each of the ‘Basic level’ cost about a Billion Ryo each.
“I don’t want to think that how much the intermediate level or higher are going to cost me?” Raito breathe out and walked out.
‘Ten’ sighed and waved her hand, with that the door was closed, “Young lord, why would you need Intermediate level or higher? You just need to buy the ‘Basic level’ ones only.”
Turning around Raito looked into her eye and asked, “Why?”
“And since you have a free chance… why not try one?” Ten ignored Raito’s question then closed her eyes. No matter how many times Raito asked or what he asked, she didn’t answer.
Raito was playing with his tongue in thought. After standing there for a while he walked to the small stall and looked through his choices and was left between hard choices.
