My English might not be perfect, but I hope you'll forgive any mistakes.
"Hello there... is this our first meeting, I wonder? Well, I suppose it doesn’t really matter."
A smooth, cheerful voice broke the silence. The speaker’s ash-gray eyes sparkled with a lively glint, his playful expression contagious—enough to stir a sense of curiosity in anyone.
"Hmm... this place is called The Shop of Fate. Never heard of it? I figured. Let me give you a quick rundown."
His voice flowed effortlessly, as though he were speaking to an old friend rather than a stranger.
"Don’t run off just yet—I don’t bite... or at least, not me, anyway."
He strolled toward the counter, and just as suddenly, the jovial air about him shifted. A more serious demeanor took its place—so sharply contrasting it felt like looking at a different person altogether.
"Here, we sell fate. To choose is to purchase. And the outcome... is non-refundable."
The words were delivered in a formal tone, his face now calm and composed. A subtle twitch of his brow followed, and then a long sigh.
"Ugh, I really can’t keep that act up—just not my style. Let me put it simply. We sell fate here. It changes based on what you do, what you choose, and what you desire. Everything comes with a price. And responsibility. I'm just the one who shows you the options."
He paused, as if giving you a moment to take it in, before continuing.
"We exist because humans exist. Our rules are simple—you choose, you accept the consequences. We’re merely the middlemen."
There was amusement in his voice again now, and the grin that played on his lips was both charming and full of secrets.
"Let’s get to the good part. Our services come in five tiers, each one unforgettable. Let’s see..."
He glanced down at a small slip of paper in his hand before looking back up.
"Ah, yes—Walk-in Customers. That’s the basic one. You come, you trade, and you're done. But the other four? Those are where things get interesting—"
Silver Card – Grants access to exclusive offers unavailable to the general public. May lead to a card upgrade.
Gold Card – Allows for the exchange of a better fate—but only three times.
Platinum Card – Grants partial access to the legendary Book of Fate.
Black Card – The highest tier. Unlimited exchanges, limited only by what you're willing to trade.
"And now... let me ask you this—"
He leaned in slightly, his voice lower now, more intimate:
"Do you believe you’re the master of your own fate? Or are you merely walking the path someone else already wrote for you?"
The moment the question left his lips, everything began to fade—until only his final words remained, lingering in the air like a whispered spell:
"All I ask is a moment of your time... but remember—once you choose, there’s no turning back."
