The moment Klein's finger brushed against the shimmering icon, the air around him seemed to vibrate. Blue light filled the room once again as a familiar Ding! echoed in his mind.
[Omni Shop Successfully Loaded.]
Lines of glowing text began scrolling down before settling into neat formation, like a digital scroll unfolding in midair.
---
[The Omni Shop serves as a gateway to an inter-dimensional convenience store where the host may purchase items originally meant for Cosmic-level beings.]
[Occasional sales, coupons, and exclusive discounts may appear depending on system stability, planetary alignment, and the host's luck stat.]
---
Klein squinted. "Inter-dimensional convenience store? So I'm shopping where gods shop?"
Paros hummed. 'More like the divine equivalent of a luxury mall. Be grateful—it's rare for mortals to get access to this system. You might find a potion that costs more than a continent.'
Klein chuckled dryly. "I can barely afford lunch, Paros."
Before Paros could respond, another notification flashed:
[The host will make purchases using OP: Omni Points.]
[Omni Points can be earned through monster kills, defeating cultivators, achieving breakthroughs, and many more.]
Then came the next line—
[Depositing 250,000 OP...]
Klein's eyes widened. "Wait—did I just get free money?!"
'Consider it a starter fund,' Paros said, his tone amused. 'A cosmic welcome gift. Try not to blow it all.'
Klein smirked. "No promises."
The interface shifted again, revealing a horizontal slider filled with item cards, each pulsing with faint light. Klein reached forward, mentally swiping right.
"Whoa… this feels like browsing through an app store."
Paros chuckled. 'Exactly that. Now pay attention. You'll need to understand the item ranking system before you start drooling over prices.'
The system chimed in agreement, and a ranking chart appeared before Klein's eyes:
---
[Item Rarity Rankings Explained]
* Common– Basic and mass-produced.
* Uncommon – Minor advantage or specialized tool.
* Rare – Significant power boost or unique ability.
* Epic – Game-changing, capable of altering the tide of battle.
* Legendary – Near-mythical, foundations of civilizations.
* Mythical – Beyond mortal reach, fragments of divinity.
* Cataclysmic – Reality-shattering, power beyond cosmic comprehension.

Klein whistled low. "Cataclysmic sounds... expensive."
'That's because it is,' Paros replied flatly. 'Even the gods would sell their temples for a single one of those.'
The screen shimmered again—item after item appearing in perfect alignment, each glowing with its respective color of rarity. Klein's excitement flared as he began sliding through the catalog.

Klein leaned back, exhaling. "These prices are ridiculous. I could sell my soul and still not afford half of these."
'You'd still be short on OP,' Paros quipped. 'But don't worry—more items would be available as you level up. Just hope they are less expensive.'
[More items will be added as the host gradually increases in level.]
