[Pinned on the message board in the main foyer of the Overlord's Castle is a new notice, something of an advertisement, really. Done mostly by hand, it reads the following:]

NOW OPEN: ADELL'S ITEM WORLD LEVELING SERVICE

That new sword you bought not cutting it? That armor you found on a defeated enemy not protective enough? Don't sell them off for a quick buck, invest in it. No time for Item Worlding to make it better? That's where we come in.

I can provide quick, easy Item World leveling and service for a reasonable fee up front, there are two options you can take:

1) If you don't wish to come into the item along with me after you pay the fee, I will level the item up as best as I can. What's the catch here? Anything I find in the item, gear, money, or other valuables are mine. But on the other hand, you just gained a powerful item for only paying an upfront, one-time cost.

2) If you choose to accompany me into the item, items and Hell will be divided equally between us, with preference of items going to the consumer.

Either way is a good deal, so next time you're in need of an item upgrade and you can't find the time or don't want to take the risk of venturing into the Item World alone, count on Adell for everything you need!

[Adell himself had put the finishing touches on his stall a few days before, finally ready for business. It took a lot longer to get off the ground than he started; he had to level up some gear of his own on the side to make sure he could cover the tougher contracts. Thankfully, having power comparable to an Overlord made Item World running easy enough. So fully equipped and ready, Adell sat at his stall and awaited any curious individuals or potential customers.

He kept an eye out. Honestly, he was surprised no one else thought of this sooner. He'll probably make a killing off it.]

Depends how many levels you go down, and how methodical you want to be. You can run from level to level while ignoring people who attack you to get through the stages fast, or you can wipe out and secure every floor for money, items, and all of that kinda stuff.

If you just want your weapon ready fast, running's the way to go. Me, I do a mix of both depending on the item.

Also, two more things before we go. You have another weapon, right? You won't be able to use this one inside its own world. Paradox stuff. Second, how much fighting have you done in the Netherworld so far?

Sorry for the horrendous delay. DX Life decided I needed a curbstomping.

[In response, Soma sets a few more weapons on the counter. Claimh Solais, Gungnir, Mjolnir, Laevatein, a positron rifle... yeah, he has other weapons. And all of them - every single one - is level one.]

Just the thing with the ghosts, though I hesitate to call that a fight. Why?

[vulcanblazer]

[Adell just looks at the table in front of him.]

...I'm not going to ask how deep your pockets are. Or what your weapon proficiencies are. But I am going to ask you where you got a badass laser rifle like that because I know someone back home who might like one.

[After that, he straightens up and gets back to the task at hand.]

How much have you heard about Geo Panels and Geo Symbols while you've been here?

[notquitedracula]

[Of all the weapons on the table, the rifle draws the biggest double take? ...Par for the course, fair enough.]

Would you believe I found it in a monster-infested castle? 'Cause I did. You're welcome to it if you want it, I have no particular use for it.

I'm not... really sure what you're talking about. No one's mentioned anything about either of those things to me.
