Pass a Stone? I never ask this but with the huge surge of new people here I just felt like asking for once.

After that long and exhausting day of schemes and intrigue I let myself rest within my own private space away from everything of the world.
I told Ainz that I would move forward with my own plans when there own plans were in place and being implemented so in short I was on vacation with my pokemon.
From my estimates it would take roughly a week for them to spread out, gather information and formulate plans of there own.
Mine was a more simple plan, pretend to be a elf with royal blood, only need to change my eyes to look just like the kings, challenge the king for the throne, kill him and lead the elves to fight back and slaughter the Slane Theocracy.
But I could only put it into effect when the Sorcerer Kingdom was truly made, and that could take a few months before I would need to put my plans in motion.
Ainz and the others know this so they set it up for the others believing I was off doing reconnaissance missions, though Seras knew the truth…. Well it was originally Seras….
"Briar! Stop scaring them! Their friends not food!" I shouted out as the younger of the two sisters was wildly chasing around the pokemon who were running away with terrified looks on their eyes.
Hearing this she came to a screeching halt, literally digging her heels into the dirt to stop chasing them around.
"Awwww but I was just playing around with them master!" She said tilting herself back and forth while the pokemon hid behind me and Seras.
"Why, why Seras did you let her in here?" I ask as of the two of my creations Briar is the most troublesome one of the two.
Just like her original counterpart I based her off of her backstory is that she was made as a personal weapon for th guild that was personally designed for player killing all due to her World Item called 'Torment' the name of the Pillory that keeps her arms bound in place.
Torment a World Item that only NPC's could equip and use which made it particularly worthless in the greater game of Yggdrasil leaving all of its stats unknown, but as our guild was in the realm of collecting World Items so of course we went out of our way to keep it.
It actually ended up in my hands because I was the only one that came up with an idea to use it on an NPC because 'Torment' looked exactly like Briars Pillory from League of Legends.
So with that in mind I created my version of Briar as well while using the information of what I could remember of Briar in her backstory I recreated her in this world, and since I had already used up the one available use of making another Origin Vampire by making Seras I made Briar a True Vampire/Banshee Hybrid to keep as close to her original as I could since the original had scream based attacks she could use that only Banshees could use as a heteromorphic race.
"I didn't mean too, just that she wanted to hang out and no matter where I went she could hunt me down like a dog, even when I went into the shop she stood outside where I went until I returned and seeing it she wanted to know where I went and so…. Here we are…." Seras said with a sigh as I place my hand on my face.
'Right, I kept her so true to her original that she has and insatiable amount of curiosity for anything she sees, of course she would want to know where Seras went and wouldn't give up on hounding her until she told her the truth.' I thought to myself before sighing as I took my hand off my face.
*Ting Ting*
Suddenly I felt my shop orb vibrating, "Has it been a day already? Looks like someone else is coming to the shop, Seras keep Briar busy, and don't let her hurt the Pokemon alright?" I say to which she nods and I leave to return to the shop.
As soon as I entered I saw a woman with a large gourd on her back looking towards one of the shelves full of glittering and beautiful gemstones any of the finer things, although…. She seemed to be drunk as her body was swaying back and forth.
"Welcome to my shop miss, where anything you can imagine can be purchased here." I said to her as I saw her slowly turn around to which I realized who she was even before pulling up the panel to reveal her name.
"Now this is a surprise, the Legendary miss Shuten-Douji from Mount Ooe (Oeyama) has stumbled upon my shop." I say to which she slyly smiles at me.
"Ehh~ Has this handsome boy heard about me~ Most humans who see me tremble in fear and go crying to their mothers~ but you, you have no fear in your eyes~" She said in a lazy way while she was still wobbling from her alcohol.
"Mmmm, this sake is so good~ even though I know this wine was poisoned by that cow I just can't help but drink it all~" She murmurs as she pulls the large gourd off her back and holds it tightly in her arms.
'Wait, is this Shuten-Douji from what after her passing and ending up in the Throne of Hero's? Or has she not died yet as she hasn't drank all of her poisoned wine?' I couldn't help but think as the panel only says who she is and which world she's from but doesn't mention anything about at what time she was summoned into the shop.
"Mmmnnn~ I remember falling after drinking this wonderful sake and falling into a long dream~ Then suddenly a door appeared and I was drawn to it and now I'm in this shop~" She mutters to herself trying to get her memories in check but this gives me the information I need.
'So this is Servant Shuten-Douji, but this would technically be her first summoning from the Throne of Hero's if she has no recollection of anything at all, though then again Heroic Spirits don't always remember the times they were previously summoned either.' I think to myself but either way this was Servant Shuten-Douji and not her living counterpart.
"And you said you sell anything here~?" She asked me with an expectant look to which I nodded.
"The finest of jewels, the most precious of treasures and drinks that only the gods can drink and many more, of course this all comes at a price." I say to her as a panel appears before her eyes of all the things she likes most of all.
"Hmmm~ Hm~ Hm~ So many things but I don't know what I would want…." She says which I understand as their so much to choose from.
"Well I could suggest this, it's known as Heavenly Wine from the Heavenly Realm of the Jade Court, said to be so divine that it brings one into a state of sheer intoxication from the smell alone and drinking said wine could extend one's life to over 10,000 years, though the price is expensive for only a small jars worth of it." I said using my sales skills as a recommendation for one of the best drinks in the shop.
Though the price for a single small jar was 50,000 credits, but you had to understand this was the Wine Sun Wukong drank to ascend and become an immortal so the price was fair for it.
Hearing this she audibly swallowed at the thought of that before she pulled out one of her other jars and placed it on the counter, "Here boy~ All the treasures that I have accumulated are within here~" She said as I took the jar to look at it.
But as soon as I touched it the shop suddenly shifted as I appeared within an opulent palace of some sorts, gold, jewels, gemstones, silk, spices, ornaments all appeared around me.
In her legend she was know as being of extreme opulence and that she claimed that 'All that is beautiful and brings me joy belongs to me' and that statement became a fact in her Saint Graph.
Like how Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon held all the worlds greatest treasures, specfically those of great History and Importance, here within her own 'Palace of Mt. Ooe' all that one could ever want was here.
Gold coins and gold bars stacked as high as mountains and everything that was the representation of 'Luxury' was found within this Palace of hers.
I closed the Gourds cap as I came back to the Shop seeing her lean on her hand looking at me, "Soo~ Is what's in there enough to buy that delicious wine?" She asked me to which I nodded.
"Then sell it all off~ It will all return to me eventually~" She said as her opulence was theoretically infinite as she has all the luxury that has and will ever exist across all of time in every dimension, same as Gilgamesh though everything in his Gate of Babylon includes all weapons that would ever exist from all hero's making his more valuable.
I nod and using all her riches she had gave her a total of 200,000 credits, but with everything she had that's not surprising for the price, after all one credit was worth one ton of gold and the gold she had was the size of small mountains so all together it's no surprise it came to that much, and she would be getting all that back as well since it's intrinsically tied to her legend so once she returns to the Throne of Hero's it will reset, meaning she is a premium customer.
And so using all 200,000 credits she bought herself 10 servings of Heavenly wine that came in a large gourd the size of the glass gourd on her hip.
Seeing this she instantly popped it open and the smell hit me as it was the smell of peaches and 'nature' itself, it was intoxicating that I had to hold myself up as I could feel myself getting drunk by just smelling it.
"Mmmm~ this is the most delectable smell I have ever smelt in my life, truly this wine lives up to the name, care to accompany a woman for a drink?" She asked me as she produced to sake cups and place them in front of us both.
"Well, it would be impolite to say no to such lovely company." I say to which she smiles before pouring us both a small glass as we lifted it up.
"Cheers to fine wine and even finer company." I say as she smiles before we both take the drink together.
The taste was smooth and peachy on my tongue as it ran down my throat and filled my body with a surprising warmth.
As I opened my eyes I almost thought that we were drinking this fine wine underneath a peach tree as the sakura trees nearby had blossomed while their petals began to dance in the wind, it was truly beautiful.
However in the real world we were both absolutely plastered just from that cup of wine alone while we both fell into our own delusions all while enjoying each others company while drinking together.
We laughed and drank before laughing some more as I slowly began to lose consciousness, but as I was about to fall asleep a piercing pain stabbed me in the neck jolting me awake and all the drunkenness instantly vanished.
[An Store Owner shouldn't Fall Asleep with Customers in the shop] I hear the system echo in my head as I hold my neck in pain while Shuten was completely out cold and we had only gone through 2/10th of the whole jar of Heavenly Wine.
I was going to say something, but I realized it was stupid to argue with the stores system as this wasn't the first time it's done it to me since I've tried taking naps on the job before only for the shop to force me awake just like that.
Seeing this I look at Shuten and see she won't be moving anytime soon, "Well looks like I can let her sleep in my old room." I mutter as I go around and lift her up princess style realizing how light and petite her body was before taking her back to my old room.
I placed her on the bed before pulling up the covers and letting her sleep before going back down to the shop.
I got back to the shop with a cool 100,000 credits for a nice sale, I would say today was a good day for me.
