“Just like last time, it’s 1,000 Tower Coins for a single draw, and you can only take one item.”

The same conditions as before.

“Got it, meow! Here are 1,000 Tower Coins, meow!”

Theo coolly handed over the money, accepting Taru’s conditions.

“Good. I wish you luck.”

Creak.

After receiving the payment, Taru opened the door to the storage that was filled with only junk.

“Puhuhut. I don’t need luck, meow!”

Theo confidently entered the lost-and-found storage.

A moment later…

“Meow! What is this, meow?!!!”

Crash!

From inside the storage, the sound of things breaking and Theo’s shriek echoed.

“What happened?”

Taru, about to rush in to help, stopped.

“Come to think of it, I heard there’s a ghost in here…”

Quietly, Taru stepped back, creating distance from the door, and waited for Theo.

***

“Meow! What a mess in here, meow!”

Theo looked around the storage, which resembled a vast sea of junk. The entrance of the storage had stairs leading downward, with an entirely open structure. It seemed the constant piling of items resulted in its current state.

“But every time I look at it from the outside, the inside seems more spacious, meow!”

Theo mused as he walked over the heap of items, towards the attraction on his front paw.

Then…

-Hehehehe.

-Give me your body!

-I won’t hand over my item!

Rustle. Rustle.

With a sinister voice, items began levitating,

Whoosh.

and began rapidly flying towards Theo.

“Meow! What’s happening, meow?!!!”

A flustered Theo dodged the flying objects while shouting.

Bang! Crash!

Items fell and broke everywhere. But Theo soon regained his composure, noting the objects weren’t faster than him, and started looking around again.

And then,

“Meow?”

He noticed black shadowy figures appearing and disappearing as the items were thrown. What were those, meow?

Just as Theo grew curious about these entities,

– Master, those are evil spirits!

Gaeron informed Theo.

“What’s an Evil spirit, meow?”

– They are souls filled with grudges or attachments to certain items. If continuously exposed to negative energy, they turn into such evil spirits. Summon me! I can subdue them.

“Got it, meow! My servant Gaeron, come forth, meow!”

Upon summoning, a small frog the size of Theo’s foot emerged from a swamp on the floor. Gaeron had chosen a smaller size to avoid breaking things around.

Ribbit!

When Gaeron croaked,

-Kiiyip!

The evil spirits screamed in panic and started to flee. Gaeron was once a divine being. The spirits panicked due to the divine aura emitted by Gaeron’s soul. As they tried to escape, Gaeron began hunting them down.

Zap. Zap.

Each time Gaeron extended his tongue, spirits got stuck to it and were sucked into his mouth.

While Gaeron busily hunted the spirits,
