Ken made his way back home, and upon arriving, his mother greeted him with, "Welcome home, Ken-chan. Did you have a good day?"
"I did," Ken nodded happily. He then joined his mother for dinner. Afterward, he hurried to his room to inspect his system.
In his room, it was dark as Ken had already turned off the lights. It was night, and he was supposed to sleep, but Ken wasn't in a hurry. He said, "System Panel."

"Reward unlocked: 1 slot of Inventory." The system chimed in with its unmistakable voice, an instant mood-lifter for me.
After Takeshi wrapped up his dramatic episode, a delightful spread of snacks and treats, generously contributed by our bunch of buddies, awaited our eager appetites.
In a true-blue Nobita-and-Doraemon fashion, a spacious cloth was unfurled onto the lush grass, serving as our designated picnic zone. Nestled cozily upon it, we embarked on a merry sympho...
"Future Copy Gadget System, or Copycat for short?" Ken exclaimed in shock.
From the moment the system copied Doraemon's dokodemodoor, and the copycat slot had also been used once, it meant that it was used up the moment it copied Doraemon's gadget.
"System? Are you conscious?" Ken wondered in his head, expecting the systematic voice that had sounded in his head before.
"No?"
"System Panel," Ken said with annoyance, thinking t...
Chapter 22: Single Dog Lord
SAO is very free, there are no specific professions, players can equip one-handed swords, two-handed swords, hammers, knuckles (claws), and more. Each type of weapon has its own proficiency.
However, human energy is limited, and generally, people choose to specialize in one type of weapon.
Looking around, there's no one nearby.
Keita secretly equips knuckles.
With a "OSU~" sound, he charges at the monster for close combat.
Chapter 21: Current Status of Future Group
This time, the release of the game helmets mainly relied on the channel of 7-11.
This was a stopgap measure; Future Games didn't have the time to slowly build channels. They needed to release the first VR game before SinDra Corporation's "Cocoon" was introduced. After all, history only remembers the first, who cares about the second.
With the cash influx from helmet sales, Future Games could finally start building its own chan...
Chapter 99: But I Refuse
Adrian asked Tom for a baseball bat and knocked Miss Valentine unconscious with it, showing no mercy whatsoever.
This woman really has no sense at all, she's been incessantly chattering away.
"Now it's much quieter." Adrian lightly tapped his palm with the baseball bat and gave a friendly smile to Mr. 3. "Since you want to talk, let's have a nice chat. I ask, you answer. Is that okay?"
Is this a threat? It must be a threat.

Chapter 98: Mr. 3's Weary Heart
Compared to Mr. 5, who could explode in various ways all over his body, Miss Valentine's attack methods were quite limited.
She continuously reduced her weight to jump into the air and then changed positions to increase her weight before falling down.
She hadn't twisted her ankle yet, likely due to the Devil Fruit's implicit enhancement of her body.
Once Rui Mengmeng got used to her moves, she could predict her landing point, dodge t...
Chapter 97: This Body Technique Is Even Weaker Than Adrian's
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Faced with the tall candle wall, Artoria didn't choose to detour. Instead, she swung her two swords, creating a triangular hole that people could pass through.
"My wax wall is as hard as steel after solidifying. How could it be so easily cut!" Mr. 3 was astonished, looking at Artoria's empty hands. "I see, you're a Devil Fruit user. Looks like I'll need to pu...
Chapter 96: Low Damage, Extremely Insulting
Adrian decided to do something he could do himself, which was to rescue Camie. As the battle raged on, he walked casually across the battlefield towards Camie's bag, looking as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard.
Adrian reached the bag and held down Camie's head, extending a claw-like finger to gently cut the rope around the bag's opening. His claw glinted like a small knife.

Suneo regarded Ken with a complex expression. While he had initially used the opportunity to flaunt his knowledge to his friends, particularly the nerd Dekisugi, he now felt conflicted. He realized that Ken might become the wealthiest within their circle of fri...
Takeshi sang his heart out using the new microphone, a one-time possession of Tsubasa. However, only he could hear his voice. While Takeshi sang, Nobita, Shizuka, Doraemon, and the others stifled giggles. With closed eyes, Takeshi sang; occasionally, when he opened his eyes, Nobita and the others held back their laughter. Seeing their smiles, he believed they genuinely loved his singing.
As Takeshi continued to sing passionately, Nobita and the others decided to stop mocking Takeshi an...
"Um... Takeshi-san... There's really no need for you to trouble yourself by singing," Shizuka hesitantly said. Her expression was quite solemn, with her mouth twitching.
"That's right, Takeshi-san! NO NEED TO SING!" Nobita nodded in agreement.
The others followed suit, nodding. Dekisugi's body was even twitching quite a bit.
Takeshi just stood there, listening to what the others were saying. He didn't truly know if these guys really liked his singing. While th...

Sonoko chose the Cat Tribe and was now a three-color cat girl. Keita was ecstatic about this choice.

Generally, to capture a mermaid, you can only do so in two places. One is Fish-Man Island, when they're on the shore.
The second is near Sabaody Island, where occasionally curious children can't resist feeling the "real sunshine" on the sea surface.
After all, the sunlight on Fish-Man Island is delivered by the Sun Tree Eve, and their yearning for true sunlight is something ordinary people can't understand. This is likely one o...

"Yeah, but today, Captain Jinbe returned to Fish-Man Island! Many people can go home and not be pirates anymore. Everyone is celebrating! So, I took the opportunity to sneak out."
Not everyone in the Sun Pirates was a willing pirate. A significant portion became pirates because they were branded with the symbol of a "The Hoof of the Soaring Dragon" a...

After being sent to the infirmary for emergency treatment, Tatsuma finally had the mood to check his rewards. It had to be said that Minato was the best "fat sheep." The rewards he received were quite generous.
Thinking about the rewards he obtained, lying in the hospital bed with bandages all over his body, Tatsuma couldn't help but laugh out loud. At this moment,...

This kind of contest is disadvantageous for Tatsuma, as he'll exhaust faster than Minato due to his stamina. Thus, Tatsuma needs a swift breakthrough or even countermeasures.
Taking a risk, Tatsuma let go of Minato's left hand, swiftly pulling Minato's right hand to the side, the Kunai scraping across Tatsuma's cheek.
Seizing the opportunity, Tatsuma's hands struck toward Minato's ribs. Minato sensed trouble, rolled...

Adrian unknowingly fired at Doflamingo from a distance, and he might have to do it frequently in the future.
Even if he knew about it, he'd just be more discreet. Although he might be cowardly, he wasn't to the point of avoiding Doflamingo's name.
In the lawless zone, countless people were involved in human trafficking-related industries connected to Doflamingo. Adrian was aware of this, but as long as he didn't make too big ...

No matter what, Tom didn't believe he had any talent for home demolition.
Adrian had to change his wording: "So, can we design an ultra-strong and ultra-complex large mousetrap in this house?"
As soon as Tom heard this, he got excited, leaned over the table, and quickly drew dozens of intricate drawings with a pen. Each line was carefully measured by Tom with a ruler, very accurate.
A few minutes later, Tom picked up ...

The final destination for the twelve organ traffickers' bodies was the sea. Adrian had no intention of giving these scum even the slightest chance of survival.
The battle didn't leave behind exaggerated traces and didn't require much handling.

Afterwards, the group returned to the tavern. These guys delayed them for over hal...
