God's Slave: Reincarnated Into an Academy of Heavenly Descendants

The system replied, scoffing at him, but Nolan's attention was more on the slightly hidden tab by the side, with the strange image of an unlocked lock.

Quickly, he magnified his focus on it, narrowing his eyes at the strangeness.

[Total Fragments: 150!]

"Hmm, what do these fragments even do?" Nolan asked the system.

[They are used to buy stuff in the shop!]

[Just like how you buy something with money.]

[You can purchase items in the shop with your fragments!]

"The shop tab! So, it's been finally unlocked!" Nolan mused, his eyes brightening.

He had completely forgotten that he had unlocked the shop tab after his successful mission with the godly ten, where he was rewarded with it.

Without wasting time, Nolan gave the command, his heart pounding loudly.

"Activate the shop tab!"

[SHOPS!]

[Artifacts] [Weapons] [Consumables] [Enhancements] [Stored Objects]

What appeared before Nolan was an entire list of categories under the shop tab.

He directed his attention toward the first tab!

[Artifacts]

{Essence Stones: Can be used to temporarily or permanently boost Divine Essence}

{Types: ???}

{Host doesn't seem capable of controlling Divine Essence, rendering this non-functional}

[Please, get rid of your inability to enable this!]

"Wow, that's pretty cool..." Nolan muttered as he looked at the first category.

The artifact menu contained items that were undoubtedly amazing and effective in certain situations.

Nolan was dazzled, but he also furrowed his brows at some points.

The first thing he noticed was that the Essence Stones were practically useless for him. And he understood why.

Right now, Nolan might possess the special Kratos bloodline, but he relied on his physical strength instead of Divine Essence.

His Kratos bloodline perfectly suited him due to its possible reliance on physical abilities instead of Divine Essence.

Solan couldn't control his Divine Essence, so the Essence Stones, which were supposed to replenish Divine Essence, were basically useless since he couldn't make use of it.

He understood the point, but he still found it a bit frustrating.

Of course, not every Kratos descendant relies only on physical strength. Somebody like Adrian, who also has the same bloodline, uses Divine Essence, and his power was top-tier.

"If only I could use Divine Essence in combination with my physical power. How strong would I be?"

Not having Divine Essence was now starting to catch up to him, but still, Nolan didn't mind it much.

That didn't mean he was okay with it or ignored it.

"One way or another, I'll find a way to cure my curse and use Divine Essence like the others…" He promised before moving to the second thing that bothered him—the price of the items.

They were simply too expensive for Nolan.

Right now, he possessed only 150 fragments, but even the cheapest item before him was priced at 800!

One had to understand that he had gone through hell itself to even get those 150 fragments.

How many quests and how many dangerous situations would he have to face to finally gather enough fragments?

It would definitely be difficult.

But that wasn't all. Nolan moved to the second category.

[Weapons]

{1. Melee Weapons}

[Daggers of Nepthorius]

[Effects: ???]

[Shadow Shurikens]

[Effects: ???]

___

The list of melee weapons seemed endless, but like the first area, Nolan noticed that they were just as expensive as hell, with the cheapest priced at 300 fragments and the most expensive at 15,000 fragments.

There were other tabs such as [Ranged Weapons] [Divine Tier Weapons] [Special Weapons], but most of these weapons simply had the word *inaccessible* because they required special bloodlines to use.

The only weapon that Nolan found accessible was the Kratos Gauntlet—and it was priced at a whopping 5,000 fragments!

Even Nolan felt his heart sink at the price.

There were other categories that contained items like Armors, Essence Infusions, Skill Augmentation potions, Healing Potions, and Boost Pills that enhanced stats temporarily.

While they were all fascinating, most of them were locked due to his inability to control Divine Essence, and the others were simply too expensive for him to purchase right now.

So expensive, in fact, that any hope of acquiring one soon seemed to disappear into thin air.
