"Is this supposed to happen?" Yuki asked.

All of them gave a confused look. They had no idea what was going on.

"This is weird. Usually, all the labels would have some information included on them, however, for some odd reason, this sword doesn\'t have anything other than its name. This probably had something to do with its strange power," Katsumi thought out loud.

"Where did you get this sword from?"

"I got it from a small shop in the city, it cost me about 30000 silver. Even though it\'s a lot of money, a sword like this should be valued at a higher price," Yuki replied.

"Can you still use the sword and summon those portals again like before? If so, you might genuinely be able to become the first person who will reach level 100 with ease!" Jobon said.

"Honestly, I would love to say that I could but I\'m pretty sure that I won\'t be able to. The ominous red aura that it once had is now gone. I don\'t feel the extreme power surging within it anymore," Yuki replied.

Nevertheless, he went outside and tried to summon the power of his sword. Just as he expected, nothing came from the sword.

"Hey, I have an idea. Why don\'t we go back to the store I got the sword from and check what\'s wrong with it. The shop owner was nice to me before so I don\'t think it would be a problem if I were to ask him some questions," Yuki proposed.

The others agreed and the 4 of them began walking to the shop. Yuki\'s sense of direction was incredible. He had taken exactly every turn he took the day he first went to that store. However, once he had arrived at the location, there was nothing there. It was just an empty store. There was no sign or even an object in it.

"You sure this is the right place Yuki?" Katsumi asked.

"Yes! I\'m positive!" Yuki said. He was confused. Yuki hadn\'t gone in the wrong direction since he saw the other stores he saw last time.

"Well, there\'s nothing we can do about it now, if it\'s gone, it\'s gone," Jobon tried to cheer him up.

"How about we go to an enchanting store. I bet they have something that can fix your sword!"

Yuki sighed but agreed nevertheless.

They walked for about 20 minutes before they found an enchanting store. It was a decent size, it wasn\'t too big but it wasn\'t too small either. They entered the store with the hope of finding something that could easily fix Yuki\'s sword.

"Welcome!" the shop clerk said.

"Hello, could you please take a look at the broken sword we have? We think you might have the thing we need to fix it," Jobon said.

"Sure, I would love to," the clerk replied.

Yuki pulled out his sword from his inventory and handed it over to the clerk. The clerk looked over it for about 5 minutes before finally coming to a conclusion.

"Sorry kiddo, I can\'t help you with this one. I don\'t know where you found this but take good care of it. It\'s very valuable, with the correct user, it can be the most powerful item in this world. It seems to be a stamina-consuming weapon and by the looks of it, no one under level 60 will be able to use it. If you want to make full use of it, you\'re gonna need to train a lot harder," The clerk told Yuki.

While the other 3 were disappointed, Yuki was excited. He was just happy that he could one day wield the power to completely overpower anyone.

"Will that be all for today?" The clerk asked.

"Yes, thank you for all your help!" Yuki replied.

The other 3 hesitated since they wanted to learn if there was another way to get the sword to work since they never dreamed that they would even get close to level 60.

Once they had left the store, Jobon wanted to talk to Yuki.

"Hey, are you sure that you\'re fine with this? I mean I know that you\'re confident in your own abilities but level 60 is going to be so much work," Jobon asked.

"What do you mean? Of course I\'m okay with it. It\'s not like I\'ll be alone, you guys will come with me. We\'ll advance in the world together," Yuki said as he smiled back at Jobon.

Yuki was always ahead of them but they wanted to one day stand beside him.

At first Yuki didn\'t want to accept it but now there was no mistaking it. Being around Jobon, Rui and Katsumi made him happy. The feeling of joy that he never got to experience in his previous life was just too much to let go of. Instead of continuing as a solo player, he decided to finally allow himself to trust others. Even so, he still found it wrong. There was something which didn\'t add up for him, the only problem was that he didn\'t know what that something was. 

"Go on, Yuki, trust them. They\'re different from the rest," a dark and sinister voice said in Yuki\'s head. While Yuki didn\'t know where the voice came from, he didn\'t question its words. It was like he was compelled to follow them, and so he did. Yuki began to genuinely believe that his new so-called friends were good and kind people without questioning why he felt that way. If that sentiment was true... only time would tell. 

...

Yuki didn\'t really know what he wanted to do now. There was no way that he could find the master of "INFINITE HOTEL" since he was too cowardly to face Yuki. All that he could do now was look for new ways to level up. Hunting monsters would be no good since he\'s past the point where 100 exp doesn\'t mean anything to him.

While that didn\'t mean anything to him, he knew that the rest of his team would need the experience which meant that he would have to teach them everything he knew. Of course he couldn\'t let them know that he killed innocent people to get his exp. If he did that, they would most likely abandon him, if not tell everyone to stay away from him, in turn making him an outcast.

It\'s not that Yuki minded being alone, in fact he was already used to it so it wouldn\'t make a difference to him, he just wanted a strategic advantage over others or was that just a lie. For a mere moment, Yuki felt as his head began to split into two parts, each one having a different personality. It was like, there were 2 Yukis.
