BXBX NOVEL Chapter 36: Invisibility Cloak
The System replied, a hint of amusement in its voice, "I don't know, Host. It's just there."
Julian shook his head, trying to make sense of it.
"So, it's just... baby oil? No context at all? That's pretty random." He chuckled, imagining how out of place it seemed next to whips and collars.
"Maybe it's for a different kind of adventure?" he joked, his mind racing with all sorts of absurd scenarios.
"Well, it's not exactly what I expected to find here," he mused, glancing back at the other options. "Guess I'll stick to the more exciting stuff for now."
System searched its memories and said," That was what the previous host got after defeating and looting the villain is his world,"
Julian asked, " Villain?, What was his name?" in surprise.
The system said, " It was something like did..dide.. Oh yeah Diddler"
Julian couldn't help but burst into laughter at the System's response.
"Diddler? Seriously? That sounds like a bad joke!"
He shook his head in disbelief, trying to picture a villain with a name like that.
"What kind of villain goes around with a name like Diddler?"
The System replied, still slightly amused, "Well, he was notorious for his... questionable activities. The name sucked tho, I suppose."
Julian wiped a tear from his eye, still chuckling.
"I guess that explains the baby oil then. But man, what a bizarre world. I can only imagine the kind of adventures he had to deal with."
He looked back at the shop options, still in awe. "I wonder if I'll encounter anyone as ridiculous as that guy."
Julian rubbed his hands together, excitement bubbling up inside him.
"I'll take the invisibility cloak, Rule of conqueror and crystal visual," he said confidently. "And why not throw in a whip for good measure? You never know when it might come in handy."
The System chimed in, "Total cost will be 16,000 points, host. Are you sure you want to proceed with the purchase?"
Julian nodded, a grin spreading across his face. "Absolutely! I can't wait to see how these will help me on my adventures."
The System confirmed, "Processing your order…"
As the transactions completed, Julian felt a rush of energy surge through him. He looked at the newly acquired items in his inventory, each one buzzing with potential.
"This is going to be fun," he thought, already imagining the ways he could use his new tools to navigate both the challenges ahead and the alluring opportunities waiting in the royal palace.

==========================================
As Julian equipped the Invisibility Cloak, he felt a rush of energy course through him. The fabric was soft yet durable, wrapping around him like a second skin.
Instantly, he noticed the world around him blur and fade, as if he had stepped into another dimension.
He chuckled softly to himself, marveling at his newfound ability. With this cloak, he could explore the castle without anyone noticing, slipping through shadows and eavesdropping on conversations without a trace.
The thrill of being unseen filled him with a sense of excitement and mischief, and he couldn't help but think of all the possibilities that lay ahead.
With a smirk on his face, Julian took a deep breath and decided to venture deeper into the castle, eager to see what secrets it held.
As Julian stepped into the hall marked "Do Not Enter," the air thickened with an aura of ancient power. Dimly lit, the room was lined with shelves filled with various artifacts and scrolls, each radiating a unique energy.
He could see weapons, shimmering crystals, and mysterious potions nestled among dusty tomes and age-old scrolls, some unfurling slightly.
His eyes widened with curiosity as he approached a particularly striking artifact: a glowing orb pulsating softly on a pedestal. It seemed to hum with a rhythmic energy, drawing him closer.
Nearby, an intricately designed scroll caught his attention, its writing glowing faintly, revealing snippets of spells and incantations.
Julian's heart raced at the possibilities. What knowledge lay within these ancient items?
He couldn't resist the temptation to explore further, his mind racing with thoughts of the power he could harness from such incredible treasures.
