Lightning Is the Only Way

"You don't need more money," the Opposer said.

Gravis was a bit surprised when he heard that. "But I need a shop, and I need additional resources to forge. I probably also need other things."

"Gravis," the Opposer said as he stopped him. "You have half a middle world of ore in your Spirit Space. That's plenty enough to buy a shop."

Gravis was taken aback. "That ore is worth so much!?" he asked in shock.

Of course Gravis was shocked. There were plenty of Immortal beggars in the city. This showed how expensive it was to buy a property in the city. He had expected that he needed much more. Additionally, a shop was more expensive than a house.

The Opposer sighed. "You have been in a natural world for far too long," he said. "Every ore node is worth incredibly much, and you have several of those inside your Spirit Space. You are sitting on several mountains of gold."

"Huh," Gravis uttered as he scratched his chin. "That makes things easier, but I still need to know how to create a business."

"Gravis," the Opposer said. "I might be nearly omnipotent, but creating a business is not something I have ever done. I only fought without a home or business until I became as powerful as the Old Bastard."

Gravis sighed. "Fuck, that makes things harder. Who am I supposed to ask then?"

BANG!

Gravis felt the powerful flick of a finger on his forehead.

"Am I only air to you!?" Gravis' mother asked with puffed cheeks.

"Mom?" Gravis asked in shock. "You know how to create a business?"

Gravis' mother seemed insulted, and she huffed. "Where do you think we get all our money from? Your father only sits on his ass all day, glaring into the room."

Gravis shook his head. "Wait," he said. "Does that mean you are earning all the money?"

His mother huffed again. "Who else?"

Gravis looked at his father with a weird expression.
