34 Chapter 34: Spending Spree

Lucas couldn't help but look at the number of fear points he had accumulated.

Without hesitation, he accessed the system store, realizing that the Haunted System offered not only the chance to extract random ghosts of various kinds but also the option to redeem incredible items that could make him unstoppable in the world of One Piece.

One item that caught his eye was the [Strength Booster Capsule]. It materialized before Lucas's eyes, and the description was compelling:

[Strength Booster Capsule: After ingestion, you will experience a direct increase in physical prowess. Each usage gradually diminishes the pill's effects until it no longer provides any benefit. Price: 100 fear points]

Lucas wasted no time and immediately decided to purchase it. The thought of boosting his physical strength was too tempting to resist.

As Lucas confirmed the purchase, a small blue capsule materialized in the palm of his hand. Without hesitation, he tossed it into his mouth.

The capsule dissolved instantly, transforming into a burst of energy that coursed through Lucas's body. He could feel his muscles growing firmer and his reaction speed increasing exponentially.

Lucas's heart pounded with newfound vitality as he experienced the immediate effects of the Strength Booster Capsule.

His enhanced physical condition was clearly reflected on the system panel, and he knew he had made a wise investment.

[Host]: Lucas Wein

[Power Scaling]: 200

[Ghosts]: Sadako Yamamura, Hanako, Hasshaku

[Fear Points]: 1304

[Accessories]: Cameko

After taking a capsule. His power has been directly increased by 38!

"It turns out that just taking a small pill can really increase my strength."

Lucas smiled like a kid.

He did not choose to continue buying more energy capsules, but

instead, looked at other items on the system's store page.

[Haoshoku no Haki: One Piece Exclusive Skill, Projecting one's will unto the world, Price: 50 Fear Points]

"So cheap?" Lucas frowned. He was aware of the significance of the Conqueror's Haki in the One Piece world.

Known as the King's Aura, its power was undeniable. The ability to suppress or incapacitate the weak was an extraordinary advantage in the One Piece world.

It was a power that represented a person's ambition and potential, and its importance had grown significantly in high-level confrontations.

In the past, some people with Conqueror's Haki thought it was only for imposing one's will on others, not useful in strong-to-strong confrontations.

But since a high-level usage was developed, that belief had been debunked. Conqueror's Haki is now known to be more versatile and valuable.

It could even be wrapped around weapons or body parts to unleash a force more potent than an Armament Haki.

It had the potential to leave scars even on someone as formidable as Kaido, known for his immortality and impenetrable skin.

Seeing the low price of the Haoshoku no Haki in the system store, Lucas decided without hesitation to purchase the chance of acquiring this powerful ability.

Though there were no immediate, obvious changes, Lucas could sense an extra energy within him that he could mobilize at will to release when needed.

So then he went back to the store.

Lucas then focused on two intriguing abilities in the system's store:

[Busoshoku Haki: One Piece exclusive skill, can imbue one's will upon the world, increasing physical traits and gaining the ability to touch a Logia. Price: 10 fear points]

[Kenbunshoku Haki: One Piece exclusive skill can expand one's will to perceive the world. Price: 10 fear points]

With a sense of excitement and determination, Lucas decided to purchase both the [Busoshoku Haki] and [Kenbunshoku Haki] abilities.

He recognized the incredible potential of these skills in the world of One Piece, especially considering their reasonable cost in terms of fear points. Lucas was ready to further enhance his abilities and prepare for the challenges ahead.

[Fear Points]: 1284

He looked at the remaining fear points he had left.

With a substantial amount of fear points still in his possession, Lucas recognized the importance of having a storage space within the system.

He knew that such a feature would be incredibly valuable in managing his acquisitions and resources. Without hesitation, he invested his fear points into obtaining this essential skill.

It ain't awesome having a system until you have a storage space!

[Storage space: a space in a different dimension which can store living and non-living objects, storage capacity of a basketball court, price: 400 fear points]

Lucas, excited about the convenience of his newly acquired Storage space, went on a spending spree, purchasing several items and storing them in this unique dimension.

His storage space was quickly filling up with a variety of useful items and potential assets.

[Forever Cold Refrigerator], [Eternity Candle], [Foldable and expandable leather sofa set], [interdimensional cable Television]...

They all have special functions and are linked to Lucas.

Others can not take them in any way. The most important thing is that

They all cost so cheap. Just a single digit fear point each!

With a wave of his hand, Lucas stored all the original furniture from his cell in his newfound storage space, making room for the unique, magical furniture provided by the system.

Reclining comfortably on the sofa, he contemplated adding another ghost to his collection.

"System, buy another ghost," Lucas requested, eager to acquire a new spectral companion.

[Ping! A ghost is being randomly chosen...]

[Ping! Congratulations! you won "Pennywise" the Dancing Clown!]

[Pennywise is an ancient, trans-dimensional evil entity that preys upon children (and sometimes adults) using a variety of powers. These powers include the ability to shapeshift, manipulate reality, and go unnoticed by adults. It feeds on people's fears and frequently assumes the shape of whatever its prey fears the most.]

Editor: This was annoying. Any text from the system will get butchered by the ai..... also did so much rework on this chapter before feeding it to my ai to make it flow more naturally.

The author did pennywise dirty, so i had to give him more context and a better title, lol.
