Danmachi: The Sign In System!

"Wow, Orsted, you're hiding a treasure trove! So many great items!"

Tiona exclaimed, hands behind her head, grinning brightly as they navigated the dim, humid passage.

"With these magic items, I could take on Ais!" she added.

"Good thing I picked a Grimoire last time, or I wouldn't be equipped to use them now."

Two new rings adorned her fingers, and necklaces hung from her wrists—all magic items from Orsted.

In exchange, she agreed to give him 80% of her expedition earnings, roughly 200 million valis.

Each item was pricey, boosting adventurer's abilities.

Tiona's rings, when infused with magic, increased her endurance and strength by 50%.

Her necklaces enhanced agility and mental strength, activated with a thought.

Four items, each worth 50 million valis, totaled 200 million.

In past expeditions, Tiona couldn't have earned this much due to supply limits, shared among the team.

But with Hestia Ring, purchased from Orsted, they could haul everything.

Like after clearing the 58th floor, they swept up all magic stones and drops—unlike the Anime, where they grabbed them after the demi spirit battle.

Everyone else sported magic items—necklaces, silver bracelets—on fingers, arms, or necks.

Only women like Tiona chose rings; Finn and others opted for bracelets.

Orsted wouldn't give men rings, feeling disgusted about it.

"Tiona's right, Orsted, you've got a stash," Tione said, eyes curious, scanning him.

"Can't imagine how you make this stuff."

She grew more intrigued by Orsted, who kept surprising them.

The others felt the same.

"Orsted, I'm interested—" Finn began, but Orsted cut him off.

"Stop. This is an expedition, so I'm sharing my stock," Orsted said.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't."

Finn's recent pitches all boiled down to one thing: partnering with Orsted to supply Loki Familia with magic items.

But Orsted had no time for mass production.

He'd rather craft for Lili's team.

His unfulfilled goal was arming them head-to-toe.

He brought these items knowing the demi spirit danger.

Unlike Lili's gear, these were tailored for Finn's team, whose strength he needed to bolster.

In the Anime, the demi spirit targeted Ais as Aria, but now it fixated on Orsted, mistaking him for his mother, Elysia, ignoring Ais.

Who knew if it would spawn just one clone, like the Anime, or more?

As the clone's source, the demi spirit could likely make multiple.

One clone nearly wiped Loki familia's High Class adventurers in the Anime.

Two would be dire, possibly forcing Orsted to unleash Excalibur.

But he joined to rank up, and Excalibur would stunt his status growth.

Thus, he supplied these items to maximize team's strength, planning to offer them even without Finn's prompt.

Finn gave a wry smile, shaking his head.

"If you ever sell magic items, consider us first."

"Deal," Orsted nodded.

Nearing the passage's end, the air grew hot and stifling.

"The 59th floor's changed. No glacial environment," Finn said, certain before reaching the entrance.

Halfway, they'd suspected as much, but the rising heat confirmed it.

Exiting the passage, the sight stunned them.

"What the hell!" Lefiya whispered.

Shocked for moments, they quickly regained focus.

"Let's move!" Finn said, licking his thumb, his face grave.
