Skeleton Coin

Biodata

Currency and Payment

• General currency: Skeleton Coins are explicitly described as a basic currency of Lynn’s world, usable as a general medium of exchange 4.
• Physical circulation: Customers carry coins in pouches and pour them onto the apothecary counter to pay for treatment 5 6.
• System accounting: Lynn’s status panel records his personal Skeleton Coin balance, while purchases trigger deduction notifications 2 23.
• Alternative payment: Bloodsaw Maniac instructs Lynn to accept something of equal value from customers without money. Lynn takes Blood Doll’s right eye as payment and allows her to redeem it after earning money 2 4.
• Separate shop funds: The apothecary’s regular customer payments belong to the shop; Lynn initially cannot spend them as his own money. His system quest rewards are personal funds 4 22.
• Direct transfers outside retail purchases: Information Agent No. 24 receives Lynn’s consultation and messenger-hiring payments through direct transfers, with the two fees charged separately 82.
• Gifts, wages, and inducements: Lynn offers Skeleton Coins and discount coupons to the Twin Ghostly Shadows to persuade them to accept treatment. He later pays Blood Doll one coin for assigned work, offering the possibility of doubling her pay 153 1001.
• Bribery: Skeleton Coins can purchase cooperation from hostile creatures. Lynn uses them to obtain transport, information, and access to classified cargo from Flesh God Cult members 900 901 902.
• Physical gains and losses: The system records changes caused by handling actual coins, not only formal purchases. Zuo Zuo swallowing a Black Skull Coin produces a 1,000-Skeleton-Coin deduction, while Lynn recovering coins from her produces balance-increase notifications 513 514 515.

Denominations

Black Skull Coins are explicitly described as hard currency. Their distinctive patterns and luster are recognizable, and the ability to spend them signals substantial wealth to the Flesh God Cult’s members 929.

System Uses

Rewards

Skeleton Coins are awarded alongside experience, affinity changes, skills, and items. Rewards can come from routine chores, medical treatment, survival quests, and special milestones 1 10 21.

• Danger indicator: Lynn treats unusually large advertised coin rewards as a warning of greater danger, particularly when the first Sleepless Night quest offers 500 coins 16.
• Branch-dependent rewards: Quests can attach different payments to alternative outcomes. At Happy Home, the standard reward is 3,000 coins, while the escape branch offers an additional 1,000 coins 177.
• Random-choice quests: The missile-barrage encounter offers three alternatives: sheltering for 800 coins, destroying the missiles for 799 coins, or standing still to face them for 1,000 coins 428.
• Black Skull Coin rewards: Later system rewards use Black Skull Coins directly, rather than always displaying large payments in basic Skeleton Coin units 116 270 530 651 1037.

Daily Shop Exchange

• Lynn unlocks the system’s daily shop exchange at level 6. Its stock refreshes daily and can be purchased with Skeleton Coins 21.
• He has 2,551 personal coins when he first examines the shop and buys the first five listed products 22 23.

Bestiary Analysis

• The bestiary system activates when Lynn encounters his first miraculous construct. Recording encountered creatures or wonders is available freely, while in-depth analysis requires Skeleton Coins 107.
• Analysis fees depend on the target’s strength and structure; no universal fixed price is stated 107.
• Paid analysis can reveal personality, preferences, true strength, weaknesses, and additional descriptive information 107.

Vision Realm Economy

• Exclusive transferable currency: Skeleton Coins are the only currency transferable within the Vision Realm. On Lynn’s first entry, the system converts 1,000 coins for him to bring inside 34.
• Payments and income: Users can trade, sell information, and complete other creatures’ posted quests for Skeleton Coins 34 46.
• Broadcast pricing: Posting information incurs a processing fee. Wider broadcasts require additional permissions and higher fees 46.

Other Quoted Payments

Bribery and Coercive Transactions

Flesh God Cult Transport and Information

Lynn combines threats, a demonstration of force, and coin payments to gain entry to a Flesh God Cult transport. The cultists’ hostility gives way to claims of brotherhood once they accept his money. He then purchases information about their summoning mission and access to the Parasite Beast cargo destined for Blue Star 900 901 902.

After subduing the cultists, Lynn reclassifies his earlier payments as a loan. He claims to have lent 890 Skeleton Coins, rounds the principal up to 900, imposes interest of 200% per minute, and demands a total of 11,700 coins. Zuo Zuo realizes that he had intended to recover his spending with interest from the outset 910 911.

Buying Cooperation at the Occupied Apothecary

• Lynn halts a hostile Flesh Humanoid’s knife attack by placing a Black Skull Coin on the counter, then scatters additional Skeleton Coins and asks whether it will become his “dog.” The creature immediately barks, and its attitude toward him improves dramatically 927 928.
• The Black Skull Coin also persuades the cult’s captains that Lynn is an exceptionally wealthy customer. They order their subordinate to serve him carefully in pursuit of repeat business 929.
• The two Flesh Humanoids discuss receiving fifty percent of the proceeds from the establishment’s business and declare that they have never seen so many Skeleton Coins 928.

Hoarding, Recovery, and Destruction

Lynn’s Hidden Savings

• Zuo Zuo reveals that Lynn conceals coins in his mask, clothing, belt, shoes, and shorts. He also hides savings beneath floorboards in his Dark Night City room and beneath the bedroom floor at the Potion Shop 512.
• At least two thousand coins are hidden beneath the second floorboard by his Dark Night City bed; the denomination of that particular stash is not specified 512.
• Sir Awen later identifies another hiding place beneath the second layer of stone slabs in the corner of Lynn’s room, where Black Skull Coins are stored with treasured books and comics 2049.

Zuo Zuo’s Coin-Eating Incident

Zuo Zuo attempts to break Lynn’s curse-induced loss of fighting spirit by threatening his savings. She chews and swallows Black Skull Coins, causing repeated deductions of 1,000 Skeleton Coins. Her threat to devour his entire fortune and digest it with acid finally drives him to use Limited-Time Curse Removal on himself 512 513.

Lynn subsequently retrieves coins from Zuo Zuo before she can digest them. Recorded recoveries include batches of two, eight, and five Black Skull Coins, alongside other swallowed items. By the end, the recovered Black Skull Coins and Skeleton Coins exceed the amount she had visibly eaten during the incident, exposing additional concealed appropriation of his savings 514 515.

Big Tongue’s Concealed Earnings

Big Tongue initially offers roughly a hundred Skeleton Coins as proof of loyalty after Lynn discovers his cooperation with the Flesh God Cult. Under pressure, he repeatedly reveals larger amounts while blaming poor arithmetic for his earlier claims 935 936.

Other Recoveries and Losses

• Looted funds: While dealing with the Flesh Humanoids occupying his shop, Lynn obtains one Black Skull Coin and 321 Skeleton Coins among other recovered items 932.
• Destroyed stock: As the Hell Walker breaks potion bottles in the apothecary, Lynn mentally associates the losses with values of 100, 500, and 821 Skeleton Coins 56.
• Deliberate destruction: Silver Fantasy scatters Black Skull Coins bearing engraved signatures and dates, then burns them in intensely hot flames until they melt down into ashes 2052.
