All her life, Wisteria had been compared to her cousin, Schisandra. While her cousin excelled academically and even graduated from a renowned university, Wisteria was struggling to make ends meet. While Schisandra was hailed as the most beautiful girl in the community and even had a long line of admirers ( mostly high-quality men), she was forever single and forever alone.... more>>

Schisandra won a national award in Botanical and Horticultural research and was even a nominee for an international research contest, poor Wisteria was penniless and even got fired from a small newspaper company.

She never wished for anything grand. All she wanted was to be accepted and loved by everyone and not be compared to her ever-perfect cousin.

Standing in front of the register while looking out the glass door, would something or even someone walk in and grant her long-cherished wish?

Note : This is my first time writing a webnovel. This is a simple story with no angst and unnecessary misunderstandings. This is pretty slice-of-life kind and you may find this boring or slow. I want something very real and the characters very human. <<less

Meet Ellis Holst. The owner and co-proprietor of Holst Convenience. Just your average, Ordinary, Dimension Hopping, Merchant.

Ellis is a normal guy...all things considered. He hasn’t had the easiest life thanks to his complicated relationship with his family, and the results of a very unfortunate prank that he tries not to think too much about these days.

He was once the designated villain for countless timelines and realities, but that’s over now. He’s managed to finally pull himself together and break free from the self-destructive cycles that he’d been quite literally enslaved to. Now he’s taking things easy, trying his best to live a more peaceful, more positive, life.

He’s started a store. He’s picked up some nice hobbies. He’s inadvertently found himself trying to reconcile with his mother, one of the few members of his family that don’t suck, despite her unintentionally being the source of all his problems with the rest of his clan. He even got married.

Ellis is doing pretty okay for himself. The trick will be keeping things that way.

Various types of customers would come, a princess an immortal, a giant, even a god. Everyone were surprised by the selections of the item, but perplexed because they could only get those by an unknown means - Gacha.

"What the hell is Gacha?
"Is it random?"
"Are you sure this thing can give the item I want?"

And then they were grateful.
"Thanks to you I can save my kingdom."
"Haha! I can finally beat that old fogey using your weapon!"
"I-I can live normally now..."

But next they were outraged.

"Please come out please come out please come out please come out please come out please come out please come out."
"WHYYY!? I SPENT SO MUCH!!!"
"All is hopeless..."

Such a lively scene that would occur daily in this store. If you happened to see a door that had a sign of a golden box and rainbow crystal, then you were lucky enough to be a customer of the Gacha Store.
