Chapter 4: 4. This is invasion of privacy

Aoto almost jumped on the spot listening to that robotic lady voice in his ears. No, it was not in his ears. It was in his mind that he had heard the voice. He didn't scream out in fear but rather was a little relieved. 

He had read and watched countless anime with isekai tropes and almost all of them had some kind of power or systems given to them. Some of them were too OP like the slime one, while some of them were just average. But most of them were always shown as given some power. 

After he came to know that he had transmigrated, he tried checking to see if there was any such help or powers that could help him in this regard. But after two days of searching for his powers and mindlessly talking to himself in the washroom in order to call his non-existent power, he gave up.

For that reason he had given up on the thoughts of struggling among the higher levels of the society and just decided to be a commoner. He was a person from modern times and he was pretty sure that some of his skills would be very helpful for the society and would just provide himself a comfortable life. 

But that voice in his head was the call that might just take him on a different journey. 

"Is it you system-sama?" Aoto asked with proper etiquette and reverence. He didn't want to piss it off in the start itself and make his life hard. He had seen many protagonists do that and then suffer at the hands of the system.

[

It is I, dear host. The Dimensional Shopkeeper system. 

Would you like to bind the shop?

]

"What does this binding mean?" Aoto was confused as he heard again about it. 

[

Host, I am a Dimensional Shopkeeper system and for enabling my functions you must have a Shop under your name. The shop in front is under your name and it is suitable for the host.

]

"So binding this shop will enable me to open your functions?" 

[

Yes, Host 

]

"Bind the shop." 

[

Shop binding in progress... 

Shop is bound to the host. 

The shop is 80 percent damaged. 

Not suitable for opening it with the current condition. 

Opening emergency measures....

Providing the host with 100,000 ryo, the currency of the present world, to repair the shop and open it. 

The money had been delivered in the bag of the host that he had been carrying. 

This help is free for the host and doesn't need the host to return back the money. 

]

"What?" Aoto was ecstatic hearing this and without wasting another moment he went back to his room to see if what the system said was true or not. After opening his rugged bag, he wanted to laugh. There was really 100,000 ryo in his bag.

In his previous life he had never been given such a huge amount of money in one swipe. Sure, he did land himself a great job, but in the end he was frugal and spent it with care, saving for rainy days and he had just started with his job. 

And now he had received such a huge amount of money without even working for it. Aoto was really thankful about it and this would be more than enough to repair the shop. 

"System, what are your functions?" Aoto was excited and wanted to know more. 

[

Host the System has many functions but if it is categorized then it can be done with the following points 

1. First and foremost, the host needs to sell items and gain profit. Half of the earnings will be taken by the system and with the other half, the host can buy things from the dimensional shop that belongs to different worlds and dimensions which will depend upon a lottery. 
2. The host can open up branches of the shop which can provide services to the customers. These services may belong to different sectors of a society like medical facility, entertainment industry, transport and logistics department and many other sectors where the host can sell and earn from these services. 
3. The shopkeeper is the manager of the shop and it is impossible to have knowledge and expertise to all the departments and thus the host can avail the services and help from different people in different worlds. The host can hire them and make them work for the host. 

]

"Eh? From what I can understand, it is basically a system that helps me earn money and give myself a good life?" 

[

You are quite intelligent, host.

]

Aoto wanted to curse at the sarcasm of the system but stopped himself. He thought the system will give him powers but it seemed like there was nothing of that sort. It was just a plain sell and buy system. 

[

You can gain powers from different dimensions depending upon luck.

]

"You.. You can read my thoughts." 

[

The system is bound to the host in his mind so it's very stupid to think that the system can't read the thoughts of the host,

]

"Hey.. That is a violation of privacy." Aoto felt very uncomfortable as he had been a loner in his previous life and now there was something who could listen to him. Did it mean that he would have to forget any thoughts for opposite gender?

[

The Host if wishes can switch the system off to enjoy life in privacy and bring it back on when required.

]

"That's better!" Aoto was relieved to hear that. At least he would have his own privacy. But then he remembered what the system had said before and asked with a trembling voice.

"Do I get power by selling things?" 

[

It depends upon the luck of the Host. It can be a useless power power or it can be a universe destroying power. 

]

"I will be selling things and earning money. How does that have anything to do with luck? With more money I should get more power."
