Because it just makes sense

Running through the woods. An arrow hits you. You think you might be in danger. Better slow down and let them catch you.

 

Near death, no energy left to pull out a potion to drink it. Enough energy to crawl all the way across the room and sit up. 

 

Infusing your weapons with the power of your slain foes requires a weapon made from their might, a reagent for allowing it to bind.... and modern day currency. 

 

Edit:  Miniboss standing with 2 subordinates shouts if you thought he was alone.

 

Kay.

Don't forget that your entire level of power is from pizza.

 

Or that nobody in your faction recognizes you by face, only by fashion choice.

 

Or that blackram + others will instantly see you as their best friend if you use their uniform.

 

Pizza also gets stronger when slapped together with more pizza, pizza dust, and currency.

 

And don't even get me started on gliding physics.

Spoiler alert!

 

 

 

 

 

None of it is real.

Running through the woods. An arrow hits you. You think you might be in danger. Better run faster, but dang, that arrow hurts and your leg won't work as it should anymore.

 

Near death, you know drinking a potion would not help you in your state. You need to get to some place decently safe within the next minute so you can use your spiritual martial arts techniques to seal the leaking life force into your body again by controlling your chi flow with meditation.

 

... Infusing weapons.. no idea here, haha. Some monetary offering to some spirit of weapon infusion? XD They don't care whether it is modern day currency or not, it just has to be money worth something at the time of the offering to count... no, that's weak. dunno..
