The night club

{{user}} owns a popular nightclub where several female employees work, dressed in bunny-themed uniforms. The club has grown rapidly, attracting wealthy VIPs and regular customers. Despite its success, {{user}} treats everyone who works there like family.

One evening, while {{user}} is checking on some business, two security guards suddenly rush into the room. They're carrying one of the employees by the arms.

Security Guard 1: Sir! This girl caused a huge problem. She doesn't deserve to work here. Fire her!

{{user}} immediately stands up. At 7'6", his presence alone makes the room quiet. He calmly grabs a Cuban cigar and pours himself some whiskey before looking toward the guards.

{{user}}: Okay, okay. Calm down, everyone. What's going on? Explain.

The guards roughly let Crystal go, causing her to stumble onto the floor. She's trembling, her bunny ears crooked and mascara running down her face from crying.

Security Guard 2: She refused to serve VIP Table 12. They demanded their usual girl, but she told them she wasn't assigned to their table. They got aggressive and started throwing drinks.

Crystal looks up at {{user}} fearfully.

{{user}}: Hmm... I know those VIPs are one of the reasons we're doing so well. They spend like three thousand dollars here every day. But you guys know we're family. The only reason we're successful is because we all work together.

{{user}} looks toward Crystal.

{{user}}: Okay, bunny girl. What's your side of the story?

Crystal flinches slightly at being called bunny girl, but she quietly explains what happened.

Crystal: I-I was just following protocol, Mr. {{user}}. They're always like this with the new girls. They know I'm not their regular employee... She wipes away another tear. They grabbed me when I tried to walk away.

{{user}} looks between Crystal and the two guards for a moment before speaking.

{{user}}: Hmm. Okay. Security, you guys can take two days off with pay. Take a small vacation and come back ready to work hard, alright?

The guards exchange surprised looks before nodding.

Security Guard 2: Thank you, sir. We will.

As they begin walking away, one of the guards quietly mutters under his breath.

Security Guard 1: She's too soft for this place...

{{user}} looks toward them.

{{user}}: Be nice, guys. Come on. We're a family, remember?

The guard immediately looks embarrassed and nods.

Security Guard 1: Yes, boss. Sorry. We'll remember.

The guards leave. Crystal remains on the floor for a moment, hugging herself. Her uniform is slightly torn from being handled roughly.

{{user}} walks over to her and kneels down. Then, to Crystal's surprise, he bows deeply.

{{user}}: I'm sorry you went through that. I'm banning that VIP from our club. I don't care how much money they spend. If they treat my employees like this, they don't belong here.

Crystal's eyes widen.

{{user}}: Please forgive me. We'd love for you to keep working with us, but if you decide to quit, I won't blame you.

Crystal quickly shakes her head.

Crystal: N-No! I won't quit! I really appreciate that you're standing up for me. It's just...

She slowly gets back onto her feet, still shaken.

Crystal: They're dangerous when they don't get their way.

{{user}}: Bunny girl, if you ever have a problem, you come to me and I'll fix it. This is your home. I'm your family, and so are all the other employees. They're your brothers and sisters.

{{user}} gives her a reassuring smile.

{{user}}: I love you guys. And just watch. Someday, someone's going to want to invest in this club. We're already pretty big, but I want to make it even bigger.

Crystal's expression softens. A small smile appears on her face as she straightens her bunny costume.

Crystal: Thank you..

She says the word with genuine warmth.

Crystal: I'll remember that. And I want to help make it bigger too.

{{user}}: I have a feeling investors are going to come any minute now. Anyway, go back to work. And have a drink on the house.

Crystal bows respectfully, this time with much more confidence.

Crystal: Thank you again! And... maybe I'll take that drink.

She heads toward the bar, occasionally glancing back at {{user}} with newfound trust.

At the bar, Crystal orders a drink. Laura, the manager, gives her a sympathetic look before sliding it across the counter.

Around them, the nightclub continues buzzing with music, conversation, and customers enjoying their evening.

{{user}} watches the club for a moment, taking in the employees working together and the lively atmosphere.

{{user}}: Hmm... we'll be big someday. The next day he invest the money already

The investors stood near the entrance of Kokuyō, waiting patiently.

The massive doors opened, and {{user}} stepped into the lobby.

The investors immediately straightened their jackets.

Investor: Mr. {{user}}. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

{{user}}: The pleasure is mine. Thank you for coming.

{{user}} extended his hand.

The investors shook his hand firmly before exchanging polite introductions and a few minutes of small talk about the journey, the club, and the investment proposal.

Investor: We've heard quite a lot about Kokuyō.

{{user}}: Then allow me to show you what you're investing in.

{{user}} turned toward the enormous entrance doors.

With a simple gesture, the doors opened.

The investors stepped inside.

The first thing they saw was the dance floor.

The enormous room stretched out before them beneath a ceiling covered in programmable lights. Hundreds of tiny lights shimmered overhead like a constellation while enormous screens displayed elegant animations across the walls.

The floor itself was surrounded by elevated platforms and VIP viewing areas. Special effects machines were built into the stage, capable of releasing clouds of harmless foam across designated sections of the floor while snow machines could create a dramatic snowfall effect from above during special events.

The investors stared upward as the lighting system shifted from deep blue to brilliant white.

Investor: This is considerably more elaborate than the original facility.

{{user}}: And we're only getting started.

{{user}} led them toward the VIP section.

The VIP entrance was separated from the main crowd by additional security gates and a private reception area.

Inside, the atmosphere changed completely.

Deep red lighting illuminated luxurious couches arranged around polished tables. Decorative walls, premium soundproofing, private servers, and enormous displays gave the room the feeling of an exclusive luxury lounge rather than an ordinary nightclub.

{{user}}: The VIP rooms will receive priority service, private entertainment, premium dining, and dedicated security.

Investor: And your staff?

{{user}}: Only our most experienced employees will be assigned to this section.

The investors nodded, clearly impressed.

{{user}} continued walking.

The bar was next.

The original bar had been expanded dramatically, almost doubling its previous size. Elegant stone counters stretched across the room beneath sophisticated lighting, while additional seating surrounded the perimeter.

Decorative pillars separated different sections of the bar, giving the enormous space a grand architectural appearance. Hundreds of bottles were displayed behind illuminated glass panels, while large screens above the counter displayed Kokuyō's logo and event schedule.

More seats had been added throughout the surrounding area, giving customers somewhere to relax without needing to enter the main dance floor.

Investor: You've increased the capacity considerably.

{{user}}: Capacity is only useful if the experience remains exceptional.

The investors exchanged impressed glances.

{{user}} led them toward another set of doors.

They opened onto a large balcony overlooking the city.

Warm heating lamps stood between comfortable seating areas, while strings of elegant lights hung overhead. The music from the main club could still be heard, but it was significantly quieter here.

The balcony had been designed as an escape from the intensity of the nightclub.

People could sit down, talk, enjoy the view, and meet someone without having to shout over the music.

Beyond the balcony, Tokyo's skyline stretched into the distance.

And in the distance, Tokyo Tower illuminated the night sky.

A small private bar occupied one corner of the balcony, allowing guests to order refreshments without returning to the main club.

Investor: This is beautiful.

{{user}}: Some people want excitement. Others want somewhere peaceful to appreciate it.

The investors nodded.

{{user}} continued toward the back of the property.

The doors opened.

The investors stopped walking.

A massive heated pool surrounded by natural stone and decorative rock formations filled the outdoor area. Tropical plants surrounded the edges, creating the impression of a hidden paradise in the middle of Tokyo.

Soft lights illuminated the water from beneath the surface, while additional lighting highlighted the surrounding stonework.

At the center of the pool sat a luxurious island bar, connected to the surrounding area by small stone pathways and bridges.

Water features flowed gently around the edges, and several heated relaxation areas surrounded the pool.

A separate jacuzzi area sat nearby, surrounded by comfortable seating and warm lighting.

Investor: You built a resort atmosphere inside a nightclub?

{{user}}: Precisely.

He gestured toward the pool.

{{user}}: Kokuyō shouldn't feel like somewhere people visit for two hours. I want people to feel like they entered an entirely different world.

The investors stared at the enormous pool area.

Investor: What else?

{{user}} smiled slightly.

{{user}}: Plenty.

They continued deeper into the club.

Additional entertainment platforms had been installed around the main dance floor, including elevated performance stages and artistic aerial installations designed for professional performers during special events.

Private lounges were positioned throughout the building, giving guests quieter spaces to relax away from the main crowd.

Several premium private rooms had also been constructed for customers who wanted complete privacy for meetings, celebrations, or simply a quieter experience.

{{user}} explained each feature in detail, describing how every section would generate revenue while improving the overall guest experience.

The investors listened carefully.

Eventually, they returned to the main floor.

The three investors looked at one another.

Investor: Mr. {{user}}...

He slowly looked around the enormous club.

Investor: You intend to construct all of this?

{{user}}: That is the proposal.

Investor: That's considerably more than we originally anticipated.

Investor 2: Much more.

Investor: Our original ¥5 billion investment was based on expansion and modernization.

He gestured around the club.

Investor: You're proposing something closer to an entire entertainment empire.

{{user}}: I would describe it as a long-term entertainment ecosystem.

The investors became quiet.

{{user}}: Kokuyō already ranks among Japan's largest clubs. I have no interest in remaining satisfied with ninth place.

The investors exchanged looks.

{{user}}: I want Kokuyō to become synonymous with luxury nightlife. I want people to travel to Tokyo specifically to experience it. I want international partnerships, major events, premium hospitality, and eventually additional locations.

One investor leaned back and folded his arms.

Investor: And you believe ¥5 billion will accomplish this?

{{user}}: With proper allocation, strategic management, and disciplined execution, yes.

The investors began discussing numbers among themselves.

The conversation continued for nearly an hour.

They discussed construction costs, staffing, marketing, security, maintenance, projected revenue, expansion strategies, and long-term profitability.

Eventually, the lead investor placed his documents on the table.

Investor: Fine.

{{user}} looked at him.

Investor: We'll approve the expanded investment.

{{user}}: Excellent.

Investor: But there's a condition.

{{user}}: I'm listening.

Investor: You must generate ¥700 million in revenue on opening day.

The room became silent.

Investor: If you fail to reach that figure, you'll be responsible for covering the additional expenses associated with the expansion.

Investor: And we're increasing our profit share by another three percent.

{{user}}: Twenty-eight percent.

Investor: Correct.

{{user}} thought about it for a moment.

{{user}}: Deal.

The investors shook hands with him.

Investor: Then we have an agreement.

{{user}} immediately picked up his phone.

{{user}}: There's someone I need to call.

He dialed a number.

{{user}}: Ryo? I need you at Kokuyō immediately.

Ryo arrived later that day with renovation plans and a notebook filled with ideas.

He walked through the property, examining every section before suggesting improvements to the layout, lighting, entrances, seating, staff areas, and entertainment systems.

Together, {{user}} and Ryo refined the renovation plans.

Ryo: If we're doing this, we're doing it properly.

{{user}}: Exactly.

After weeks of construction, installation, testing, and preparation, the final completion date arrived.

---

The investors arrived at Kokuyō once again.

They stepped out of their vehicles and stared at the completely transformed building.

The entrance was larger. The security system was more sophisticated. New lighting surrounded the exterior, and an enormous illuminated Kokuyō sign dominated the front of the building.

Inside, everything looked brand new.

Investor: Mr. {{user}}...

He looked around in disbelief.

Investor: The place looks incredible.

Investor 2: But there's one problem.

{{user}} looked toward them.

Investor: How are we going to get enough people here?

{{user}} smiled.

{{user}}: Don't worry.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone.

{{user}}: I have connections.

The investors looked at one another.

{{user}} made his first call.

{{user}}: Hello, Mr. Kingston? I hope I'm not disturbing you.

He spoke politely and professionally.

{{user}}: I'm opening my new club in Tokyo today, and I'd like to propose a partnership.

He explained Kokuyō's transformation, the luxury facilities, the entertainment program, and the grand opening.

{{user}}: If you would be willing to post about the grand opening on Instagram or X, I'd be honored to offer you complimentary access to Kokuyō whenever you're in Japan.

{{user}} listened.

{{user}}: Thank you, sir. I sincerely appreciate it.

He ended the call.

The investors stared at him.

Investor: Who was that?

{{user}}: A very influential international musician.

Before they could ask another question, {{user}} made another call.

{{user}}: Mr. Tanaka? Good afternoon. I have a proposition for you.

Another conversation followed.

Then another.

Then another.

Within minutes, {{user}} had contacted several internationally recognized entertainers, business personalities, and social-media stars.

The investors watched in complete disbelief.

Investor: How many connections do you have?

{{user}}: Enough.

The investors looked at each other.

Investor 2: You're telling me all of these people might actually promote the opening?

{{user}}: That's the objective.

The lead investor slowly shook his head.

Investor: Unbelievable.

{{user}} put his phone away.

{{user}}: Everything is ready.

Investor: Remember the agreement.

He pointed toward the financial documents.

Investor: Seven hundred million yen.

{{user}}: I remember.

Investor: By the end of tonight.

{{user}}: Consider it handled.

---

Hours passed.

The sun disappeared behind Tokyo's skyline.

Night fell over the city.

Inside Kokuyō, preparations reached their final stage.

The bunny-uniformed employees rushed from room to room, checking tables, adjusting decorations, fixing their uniforms, and making sure every detail was perfect.

Laura: Check the VIP rooms again!

Employee: Already done!

Laura: The balcony?

Employee: Perfect!

Laura: Pool area?

Employee: Everything is ready!

The music systems were tested.

The lighting was tested.

The snow machines were tested.

The foam systems were tested.

Security checked every entrance.

The new gates were locked and unlocked repeatedly to make sure everything functioned perfectly.

The massive main doors remained closed.

Outside, a crowd had already begun gathering.

Luxury vehicles continued arriving.

People held invitations and tickets while security personnel organized the entrance.

Inside, the employees gathered near the main floor.

Laura: Everyone ready?

Employees: READY!

The lights throughout Kokuyō slowly dimmed.

The enormous building became almost completely dark.

{{user}} stood behind the main entrance doors.

The investors stood nearby, watching nervously.

Investor: Seven hundred million yen.

{{user}} calmly looked toward the enormous crowd outside.

{{user}}: Don't worry.

He placed his hand on the door.

{{user}}: We've got this.

The locking mechanisms released.

The massive doors began to open.

Light poured through the entrance.

Music erupted from inside.

The crowd outside cheered.

The grand opening of 黒曜 (Kokuyō) — Obsidian had officially begun.

And {{user}}'s next chapter was about to start.
