"W-WHAT?!"

Aldric couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment realizing that the Celestial Elixir couldn't restore his lost arms.

He tried to find another potion but found nothing.

“But I still need it for my wounds. ” Aldric looked at his sides where his supposed arms should have been as he sighed. "I'll go for the Celestial Elixir. Purchase 5," he declared.

[Purchasing Celestial Elixir, would you like to confirm?]

“Confirm.”

[Transaction complete. Celestial Elixir acquired (5). Remaining coins: 2,999,999,500,000.]

A radiant vial containing a golden liquid materialized.

It was the Celestial Elixir, and it seemed to pulse with potent energy.

Eager to experience its effects, Aldric wasted no time in consuming the elixir, using only his mouth to open the bottle.

He only drank one, yet Aldric felt a surge of revitalizing energy coursing through his body.His wounds closed rapidly, and fatigue seemed to dissipate, but as he already expected, his arms didn't regenerate.

“Maybe there is something else.”

Finally, after searching, Aldric found something.

“One one is available…” he clicked his touch with disappointment. “Maybe I can find something else for my other arm. Search for another arm.”

[Searching for prosthetic arm… Searched.]

Aldric's eyes widened. “This…”

“So the heroes are really dead, but how amazing this World Wide Shop is. It even sells body parts,” saying that, a possibility came to Aldric's mind. “System, I can buy skills too, right?”

[Answer. Yes, you can buy skills and abilities through the World Wide Shop.]

Aldric nodded. “Then, even martial arts?”

[Answer: Yes. You can learn martial arts through martial arts books.]

As Aldric heard the system's answer, he found himself laughing at what an extraordinary situation he was in.

After all the horrible things that had happened so far, it didn’t even surprise him. Adaptability is a terrifying thing.

“With the amount of money I have, how many skills, abilities, and martial arts can I buy?”

[Calculating… Answer: 52,581]

Aldric's lips curled upward into a ferocious grin.

“Purchase Hero Lucien Dubois Arm, Lyrathos Syntharmlinx Imitation, and use all my remaining coins to buy skills, martial arts, and abilities.]

Aldric as he listened to the notification.

“Seems like it will take a while. I should attach these arms first.”

He looked at the box of martial arts books. It was huge, but he has no time to learn it for now.

With all his arms gone, it was useless for him at this moment.

****

The first arm he attached was the Lyrathos Syntharmlinx Imitation.

“It's heavy and feels like it came from some kind of a cyberpunk movie. Lyrathos, huh? I remember that bitch queen talking about it but she never explained it but it seems that Lyrathos is an advanced kingdom.”

Aldric didn't hesitate to attach it, since he didn't have an arm, he used his teeth and brought it close to his right arm.

Suddenly, the arm's armor expanded and metallic tentacles suddenly appeared and before Aldric could react the tentacles extended from its center and covered his fat right arm up to the shoulder.

Then the tentacles did something that felt like it was eating his flesh, the pain was so intense that he almost blacked out.

“Ahhh!”

After Aldric had recovered from his screaming, his right arm had become like a robot up to the shoulder.

“It transformed into the same size as my right arm in both length and girth; it suits me well and it doesn't feel weird at all. Moreover, I could tell when I touched things with it.” Aldric tried to hit the wall and felt no pain at all. “Amazing. Next, I should attach this one.”

Aldric looked at the Hero Lucien Dubois's Left Arm. It was inside of a glass and was covered in a green fluid.

“I thought it would look like a corpse but it feels like it's alive. Like it was just recently cut off,” he commented before taking the arm from the fluid using his new attached arm. “It's cold. How do I attach this? Will it have something like a tentacle too?”

Like what he did earlier, Aldric brought it closer to his left arm and as it made contact with his skin red and green veins suddenly appeared in the arm and it squirmed closer to his arm before it attached itself.

It left intricate stitches.

“No pain, but I can feel my blood flowing into it.” Aldric closed and opened his fingers and tried pinching the skin. “I feel pain. This is really amazing. But the color doesn't match though it's only obvious if you look at it closely. ”

[Skill Acquired, ‘Appraisal’.]

Minutes passed, and the system’s notification still continued. Aldric felt power flowing in him and he began to notice a change occurring within his body.

“I wonder what other skills I will get. I wonder if I can buy anything other than—”

Condition Satisfied… Unique Skill “Gluttony” has been awakened.

A sudden, searing pain shot through Aldric. It felt as if something were eating away at him from within.

"It hurts! It hurts!"

    “Sob…”Aldric was woken up from his fury when he heard a sob beside him.

Her eyes brimmed with tears, and her whole body was trembling.‘... that's right… She is here. I forgot…’Aldric walked towards the elf and then knelt in front of her. The elf flinched when she saw Aldric but couldn't run because of her weakness body.‘H-He is going to kill me!’The elf closed her eyes, waiting for death to hug her when she felt a warm hand touch her face and when she slowly opened her eyes, he saw Aldric with a warm smile.Aldric gently brushed aside a stray strand of hair, his touch was surprisingly tender. "Do not worry. Everything is over.

Haha!”“I don't know how you were able to move so fast like that, but you made a mistake by coming here. You should have stayed hidden and watched from afar like a good little goblin." Garry said with an arrogant tone. “Do you think you can defeat a warrior like me?”There is nothing terrifying about a single and little goblin.Garry sheathed his sword, a cocky grin plastered on his face.

    Sinestria Kingdom.Aldric took the Everchange Transmutra from his inventory and was finally able to see what it looked like.It was a fabric. It's just a black and normal fabric.“There is nothing strange about it. It looks normal. If it wasn't for the description it had, it would have thought that this was nothing but just a normal fabric.”With the fabric in his hand, Aldric imagined the outfit that he was gonna wear, and as he did, the fabric suddenly stretched to fit his body perfectly, conforming to his mental image. In a matter of moments, the fabric turned into a black sleek, close-fitting black pants and a matching long-sleeved shirt that allowed for ease of movement in battle and on his back was a long, flowing black cloak that billowed around him.The cloak had a high collar that partially obscured his lower face, covering his mouth, and only his piercing gaze was visible.He plans to hide his face—for now.Stepping back to admire his reflection in the mirror that he brought

What use would I have for another woman, especially one who comes with such a pitiful offer?”Thessalia's cheeks flushed with humiliation, and she couldn't speak.Seeing that Thessalia didn't reply, Aldric decided to stand up. Although the elf's offer is tempting because he has always fantasized about the beautiful elves, Aldric does not like to take advantage of a woman, especially one who offers herself out of desperation. He is not like that kind of a person, and he was already satisfied with Lavena, who truly had feelings for him.Aldric has no use for her either. As for Drake, he can probably kill him without her help. He already knows the information he needs
