Alex stepped forward first.
His boots squelched in the mud as he reached out and pressed his hand to the surface.
Alex – 26 Points
PATH SELECTION AVAILABLE
The five names flared bright against the stone:
Naruto. One Piece. Bleach. Hunter x Hunter. Fairy Tail.
His fingers tightened. The decision had never really been in question.
Naruto.
The others vanished.
Naruto Path – Powers and Items
Remaining Points: 6

- Fire Release
- Wind Release
- Basic Ninjutsu Techniques (Clone, Substitution, Transformation)
- Shadow Clone Jutsu
- Healing Jutsu
- Chūnin Flak Vest
- Ninja Tools Starter Set
- Chakra Control Techniques
- Fire Release
Now Alex just need to get 14 points to get chakra.
He chose to sacrifice his ring, a family heirloom, of supposed great value, he had never checked how much points he would get with its sacrifice, but he knew that he may not have another chance. Danger is encroaching, the Ram bear and now this humanoid entity.
Sacrifice
- Ring (Precious item, Old) (Family Heirloom) – 9 points
- Wallet (Assorted items) – 4 points
His total was brought up to 19 points. One away from getting chakra. He still didn’t want to part with his phone, the solar charger is still in working order, and with more and more sacrificing their items and phones, there are fewer people to share the charger with. Its not so much the photo’s on the phone, but the music.
He turned, quiet satisfaction in his eyes.
Yusuf stepped up without pause.
Yusuf – 21 Points

He pressed his hand to Hunter x Hunter

Like Alex, Yusuf has been withholding his own items, and like Alex his mentality has changed, better to be alive and live with the memories of his family, not dead with his phone smashed.

Sacrifice
- Phone (Hight tier electronics) (mint condition) – 10 points
- 3x rings (Mid quality) – 9 points
- Wallet (Assorted items) – 5 points
- 3x rings (Mid quality) – 9 points
With this Yusuf’s point total shot up to 25, and he immediately bought the Aura detection and Activation
With this purchase by Yusuf, he has immediately elevated himself to the camps best combatant.
A brief, tightening pulse coiled around him—different from Alex’s warmth. More reactive. Wild. It took Yusuf a second to exhale.
Jake approached the two, his notebook already open. “How did it feel?”
“Like opening a door I didn’t know was locked,” Yusuf said.
“Fuck man, you already got Nen then” Alex added. “1 point away from chakra.”
“Ha, gotta catch up, but I’ll tell ye, feels powerful. Had enough to buy Ten right after, I can see a sort of ethereal veil surrounding my body, maybe an inch or two. Hey Jake right this down, after paying points to unlock a technique, it was almost like the basic knowledge and skill of that technique was imprinted on me. I just knew how to do it now. But what I know from the series, I am by no means an expert when it comes to Ten, ill have to practice, see if I can unlock Zetsu and Ren without having to buy it. I guess ill find out how talented I am.”
“Awesome, thank you. Right tell me some of the options you had, don’t worry I’m aware the list will be extensive, I just need to confirm some things”
They both walk off from Alex nattering away.
Back at the fire, Ellie watched them from across the clearing. Rain had soaked her sleeves; she didn’t notice. Her eyes followed the two as they stepped back from the stone.
She looked down at her hand. A silver ring rested on her palm—her sister’s. She hadn’t been able to part with it before. But now? She has to, she cant be left behind.
The scream from yesterday still echoed in her head. Vin’s pale face. Wren’s shaking hands. The stories of pale things with black eyes watching the camp.
She stood.
And walked.
The Obelisk didn’t announce her, but the moment she reached it, the mist around it seemed to settle.
Ellie – 19 Points
Sacrifice
- Ring (Precious) (Heirloom)(Rare metal) – 25 points
Now this was a shock to her. She had never brought it upon herself to check the points she would get from sacrificing the ring. But 25 points, she couldn’t believe it. No going back now.
Ellie – 44 Points

Magic.
It wasn’t fire or steel or lightning—but something stranger. Wilder. Something that pulsed around her fingers now, even as rain trickled down her arms.
She didn’t say anything. Just turned back toward the camp.
Jake blinked in surprise as she walked by. “You chose?”
She nodded. “Fairy Tail.”
He smiled. “You’ll like it. Fits you.”
