"Alright, let me check out the weapons first." Dante tapped on the weapon category and a list of weapons popped up right away.

[Weapons]

➤ Dragon-Killer [Spear] — 1,000,000 VP

➤ God-Slayer [Sword] — 1,500,000 VP

➤ Star-Eater [Bow] — 2,000,000 VP

➤ Soul-Crusher [Hammer] — 3,000,000 VP

➤ Excalibur [Sword] — 5,000,000 VP

"Fuck!" Dante cursed the second he saw the prices and glanced at his measly 2,000 villain points. He went through the descriptions, and even though he didn’t want to admit it, those weapons were worth every point.

’These kinds of overpowered weapons aren’t really gonna help me right now anyway. It would be like handing a maxed out account to a newbie,’ Dante thought as he scrolled for a while before reluctantly closing the tab.

"Besides, why the hell would I drop 5 million points on an Excalibur when I already have one!" he said with a smug smile and moved on to the other categories.

After tossing a few items into the wishlist, he slapped on a price filter and started looking at stuff that actually fit his budget.

➤ Iron Sword — 500 VP

➤ Basic Sword Arts — 2,000 VP

➤ Healing Pill — 1,000 VP

Looking at the cheaper stuff, Dante spotted a few useful items but he didn’t really need any of them right now. He only had 2,000 points, and burning through them on impulse would screw him over later.

’Okay, I’ve wasted enough time. I need to use metamorphosis and fix this broken body before dawn,’ he thought as he reached his finger out to close the store.

Just then, something popped up.

[FIRST TIME PURCHASE 99% OFF]

[THE DISCOUNT APPLIES FOR ALL THE ITEMS]

[ENDS IN 11 hrs 59 mins 55 seconds]

[The discount only applies to a single item. Please choose carefully. No refunds]

"Hah!" Dante laughed when he saw the offer. He had played enough games to know this was exactly how greedy companies got people to start throwing money at them.

Once you started spending, there was no stopping.

"But this is fucking perfect," he added with a widening grin.

He didn’t want to spend carelessly, but that didn’t mean he had nothing to buy.

’I need something that can hide my cultivation. Once I fix my condition, Master is gonna find out sooner or later,’ Dante thought with a serious look on his face. ’I definitely can’t let that happen!’

’And I can’t afford to put off cultivating until I find a solution either.’

He wasn’t scrolling mindlessly. He had already spotted items that hid the user’s cultivation and added them to the wishlist.

He pulled up the list right away and his eyes ran over the prices before landing on an artifact.

[Hollow King’s Mark]

[Type: Artifact]

[Grade: Epic (Growable)]

[Description: A relic worn by a king who ruled without ever revealing his power. Completely hides the user’s cultivation. To the world, you appear hollow.]

[Currently, it hides the user’s cultivation from others below Aura Manifestation. The mark can be hidden with a command.]

[Price: 2,000 VP (previously 200,000 VP)]

[BUY]

"Should I really buy it?" Dante hesitated for a second, wondering if he would regret it later, but then he threw those thoughts out of his head.

If Natasha found out his condition was cured, she would probably connect her system to him and the results would be catastrophic. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Without any more hesitation, he clicked buy.

[You have purchased the artifact, Hollow King’s Mark successfully!]

[Do you wish to equip?]

"Yes!" Dante answered right away with an excited face.

The next moment, a black aura came out of nowhere and wrapped around Dante’s body before gathering on the back of his hand, forming an eclipse mark.

"Damn, this is cool!" Dante stared at his hand with a smile. Then he muttered, "Hide."

He watched the mark vanish with some wonder and spoke again.

"Appear"

"Hide"

"Appear"

"Hide"

...

...

After messing around with it for a while, Dante got bored. He glanced at the clock and it was already 2am.

"Okay, now that this problem is taken care of, it’s time to fix this damned body," he said with a serious expression as he sat cross-legged on the bed.

"System, I want to use Metamorphosis. Just make sure the pain is disabled," he said with a focused gaze.

[Initiating the Metamorphosis...]

[Pain has been disabled]

The second it finished talking, Dante’s skin started peeling off like dried glue.

Underneath was just new skin, smoother and paler. His ribs popped like microwave popcorn.

His muscles felt like they were being kneaded by invisible hands, stretching and pulling in directions that should have been horrifying.

Without the pain to back it up, it just felt weird and gross to watch.

’Honestly, this is way better than what my master is going through,’ he thought with relief. ’Looks like I’m not getting any sleep today. So I’ll just use this time to think about the next plan.’

’I need to strike while the iron is hot!’

****

A few hours later...

Inside the master bedroom, Natasha slowly opened her eyes. Feeling the mana flowing through her body, a relieved smile spread across her lips.

"Finally...!" she struggled to speak, her body trembling with excitement. She closed her fingers into a fist and looked down. "Finally... Uh."

She paused as her eyes landed on her bare breasts.
