[Chapter:16][Prizes.]

"Here's goes nothing…"

Leah watched the wheel spin in anticipation, Rhianna looking at her big sister in surprise as she never knew she liked Gacha as much as she was currently showing.

Her mother Aya looked at her, and the mother-daughter duo nodded as they decided to give their chances to her instead.

And somehow, it seemed that the two dragon siblings had come to the same decision.

As for Echo…

Well, if he had a 'Luck' stat, he might have…no, actually, even if the [Game] had a 'Luck' stat and his was several digits greater than his big sister's, he wouldn't hesitate to let her spin the Lottery.

But since there was no such thing as a 'Luck' stat, it didn't even matter.

"It's stopping…!"

Leah's exclamation made them all gather behind her, Leah and Rhianna raising their wrists with the two dragon figurines hanging to them so Albion and Ddraig could watch the result too.

"Solomon's Rings…Noah's Ark…Excalibur…Demon Lord's Haki…Void God Azathoth…Arc of Embodiment…Immortal Martial Spirit…Sphinx…"

As the wheel slowed down, Leah read all the prizes which the pointer pointed at before they moved away.

As seconds go by, Leah was visibly getting more and more excited, and the wheel slows down to a crawl…

Until…

"Sharingan!"

She practically screamed in excitement as she raised both her hands up.

"Thank you Sis."

Echo raised his hand as he patted her head, making her eyes widen before she closed them, enjoying the bliss of a level 13 'Head Pats' skill.

"Hehehe! I'm awesome aren't I?"

((I seem to remember someone having a warehouse full of black keys and enough mapo tofu to feed a city…))

"Sh-shut up Albion!"

Her smug expression faltered as she blushed, making them all except Echo laugh lightly.

[Well, I don't know if it's any good, but is that…an eye?]

Ddraig's question made her host Rhianna nod.

"That's right! The 'Sharingan' is a special ability that people with the 'Uchiha' bloodline can awaken."

The blue haired loli explained to the red dragoness with clear excitement,

"It not only allows the holder of the eyes to 'see' chakra, it also makes them almost completely immune to illusions, let's them cast super powerful illusions that can even control your mind easily, let's them copy every technique they see almost perfectly with just two or three glances, increases their comprehension over anything they read, gives them clearer and faster vision, and after evolving into 'Mangekyō Sharingan' and 'Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan', it'll even give them special and unique abilities, and it can evolve even further into the 'Rinnegan' and the 'Rinne-Sharingan', which are even more powerful!"

[Well, they certainly sound strong.]

"Of course!", Leah nodded in agreement, "So, quickly! Use them, I want to see the Sharingan in real life!"

She looked at her little brother eagerly, making him blink.

"You know you can use them for yourself, right?"

But unexpectedly, all three women shook their heads.

"I don't need it.", said Aya.

"I'm not sure if it'll even work for me and mom, without a single speck of human blood in our veins and all.", Leah explained herself.

"It's better if you use it, Onii-chan. Ddraig is enough for me."

The two older women nodded their heads in agreement to Rhianna's statement.

"That's right. There are plenty of ways to make a human strong enough to compete against an Ultimate Class in mere months without any sort of side effects, and that's without a Sacred Gear." (Aya)

"With the Boosted Gear, and if Rhi-chan turns her body into semi-draconic, she'll be able to become extremely powerful extremely quickly too." (Leah)

Rhianna wasn't surprised since she already knew that she could become part dragon, though she was waiting since her mother said there were a few things she wanted to do before that.

((Don't look at me, those eyes aren't even bigger than my teeth.))

[Putting aside how we're mere souls at the moment, even if we weren't, I doubt a human bloodline specific organ would survive with the blood of dragons flowing through our veins. I would be surprised if out blood doesn't destroy the 'inferior invaders' within minutes, if not seconds.]

Echo looked at them all and sighed.

"Fine then…"

Moving the Lottery window away, he looked at his Inventory which had a pair of eye balls present in one of the slots, and tapped it, before selecting 'Use'.

((Use Special Item [Sharingan]? Will allow access to skill [1 Tomoe Sharingan].))

"Yes."

The next moment, Echo's eyes glowed, before they changed.

His iris turned a bright crimson, and a single tomoe appeared within it, slowly revolving around his iris which strangely appeared smaller than before. Though, considering his previous hollow eyes, it was quite difficult to differentiate between his iris and pupil, unlike now.

"Real Sharingan! Now I can die happy!"

Echo smacked his big sister on the back of her head.

"The day you die is the day this world ends."

"Right, hehe."

She chuckled at the emotionless glare she received from Echo's now crimson eyes.

"Wow…Onii-chan, you look so, different."

Aya merely examined his eyes closely, and nodded after seeing no problem with them.

Echo opened his Status, and brought up the description of his new skill.

. . . . . .

[1 Tomoe Sharingan(Lv-1)]

Type : Skill / Active

Description : The Sharingan grants the wielder two broad abilities, the "Eye of Insight" and the "Eye of Hypnotism", as well as two specific abilities that came at a cost, albeit prevented by [Gamers' Body].

Eye of Insight (I) — Increase learning speed of skills seen by 1% until skill level reaches that of the performer.

Eye of Hypnotism (I) — Increase subtlety of 'suggestions' induced through eye contact by 1%.

Izanagi : Allows the user to distort the line between reality and illusions, switching them. Can only be used once per eye every 1,000 days. Cool Down time is shared with 'Izanami'.

Izanami : Traps the target in an infinite loop disregarding their five senses. Can only be used once per eye every 1,000 days. Cool Down time is shared with 'Izanagi'.

Note : There are further stages / evolutions which will automatically be unlocked when skill level reaches 100.

Cost : 10 MP / sec

. . . . . .

Raising his brows at the rather simple skill description, Echo thought for a moment before looking at his mother.

"Show me how to hide my MP without relying on 'Void Fade'."

With that said, he used 'Focus' at the maximum intensity while keeping his Sharingan active.

Aya blinked, before nodding lightly. Raising her hands, she lets her wings out, and an immense, overwhelming amount of Holy Power comes crashing out, nearly making the unprepared Rhianna kneel.

Luckily, Leah quickly caught her shoulder and helped alleviate the pressure.

Giving her daughter an apologetic look, which she waved away with a smile as she watched with interest, Aya looked at her son who was staring at her with his new eyes and slowly, clearly, showed means through which one can hide their power, presence, and much more.

((Skill [Stealth] learned.))

((Skill [1 Tomoe Sharingan] levelled up!))

The prompts brought him out, making Echo blink as she shut his eyes off.

Looking at the skill description, he nodded.

"The cost of the skill didn't increase, so it'll stay at 10 MP per second till I get the [2 Tomoe Sharingan] skill. The percentages increase by 1% every level, but the Cool Down for Izanagi and Izanami didn't change."

"Maybe it'll change after evolving to Mangekyō? It'll be way too OP if the cool down for those two abilities decreases with the skill level."

[Its not any less OP now though.]

Ddraig retorts Leah's sentence.

[Changing reality with illusions, that's just restricted reality manipulation. Not even the strongest GodKings and the God of Bible are capable of that.]

((Indeed, I know of only one being whose abilities come close to this.))

"Great Red, right?"

The two dragon sisters shine in blue and green light to show their acquiescence.

"Great Red? Who's that?"

Rhianna blinked at the mention of someone with a rather strange name.

((Not who, what. Great Red is the personification of the concepts of 'Dreams', 'Illusions', 'Truth', and several others, and it, along with Ophis, the personification of the concepts of 'Void', 'Infinity', and some more, are the only two 'Dragon Gods' in existence. Both creatures hold the power to wipe out all of reality, though luckily, they have no interest in doing so.))

[Great Red is a large dragon with four wings and a long horn in its forehead. It also holds other titles, such as 'Dragon of Dreams', 'Dragon of Dragons', 'True Dragon God', and so on. While Ophis has the titles of 'Ouroboros', 'Infinite Dragon God', 'Dragon of the Void', and several others.]

"Dragon Gods…"

Rhianna's eyes shone, making those present chuckle as Echo rubbed her head gently.

"I'm sure you'll be able to meet them quite soon."

Just as he said that, a prompt appears.

((Skill [Premonition] levelled up!))

"See what I mean?"

"Well, that's surprising…"

Those who knew of the power of the two were surprised, while Rhianna merely smiled.

"Yes! I really want to see them now."

. . . . . .

. . . . . .

"Are you sure about this?"

Leah asked, though her expression said it all.

((Just do it before I change my mind, you damn addict.))

"I'm not an addict!", the blonde beauty pours,d yet her finger nonetheless approached the screen before her as she tapped on 'Use 1 Lottery Ticket' for the second time.

Once more, the Lottery Wheel began spinning…

"I wonder what we'll get this time…"

"If it's an interesting book, I'm calling first dibs."

The rest shrugged, knowing Aya's addiction to reading interesting books. It was practically one of the reasons why she chose to fall, after all.

((Books eh? I didn't get much of a chance to read anything other than light novels and web novels and fan fictions with Leah's personality…))

[Eh, I never read in my life, Nee-chan.]

"Would you like to give it a try? I'm sure I can find some way to spiritualise them…"

((I'd like to try it, thank you.))

[Hmm…I'm not sure…anime and manga sound more appealing, what do you say partner?]

"Oh! You like them too, Ddraig? Nice! I'll tell you my favourites…!"

Echo looked at his mother and little sister, who sported a look in their eyes remarkably similar to that which a certain student council president had when she was teaching him Chess.

'I guess everyone's enthusiastic when sharing their favourite hobbies…'

That reminded Echo that he didn't have a hobby.

'Spending time with my family is a good hobby right…?'

"Ah! There! Right there! Stop! No no no! Don't go past it! NOO!"

Leah's dramatic shouts of despair made them look at her in surprise.

"Ahh! Missed the Time Stone by an inch!"

Echo shook his head with a sigh as he patted her head.

"Don't mind."

((Yeah, it just shows your luck is coming back to haunt you.))

"Oh screw you Albion."

"Language, young lady."

Rhianna chuckled at the sight before looking at her big brother.

"What did Onee-chan get, Onii-chan?"

Echo looked at the item in his Inventory and brought it out.

"That's…a pair of spectacles?"

"Reading Glasses…", Echo read the item's description from 'Info', "Allows the user to read at 20 times their usual reading speed without compromising their understanding or memory."

Aya's eyes flashed as she practically snatched the glasses from him.

Putting them on, she looked at her children.

"How do I look?"

"Beautiful, as always." (Echo)

"Yup!" "You look pretty mom!"

She smiled lightly, before looking at her son thoughtfully.

"Do you think this will increase the speed at which you gain Intelligence and Wisdom stats?"

"…"

Echo blinked before shrugging.

"I get 1 Intelligence and 1 Wisdom every 20 minutes. If it does, the time will be reduced to a mere 1 minute instead."

Aya handed the glasses to him as he deactivated his Sharingan, while Leah handed him some random book.

"Try it. If it does, you'll be able to get much stronger at a very ridiculous rate."

1 point in Intelligence and Wisdom per day, meaning 60 per hour. With just the six hours of studies at school alone, he'd be able to increase both his stats by 360 each.

Putting the glasses on, Echo ignored the bright smiles of Leah and Aya and Rhianna's light blush as he looked at the book before him…

…

…

…

((You studied seriously. Intelligence increased by 1.))

((You studied seriously. Wisdom increased by 1.))

Echo raised his head as he looked at the three women who had a strangely enamoured expression on their faces.

"Exactly one minute…what's wrong?"

His question as Echo took the glasses off snapped the three out of their daze, and while Rhianna continued to look at him, Leah blushed lightly and Aya chuckled.

"It seems your enhanced 'Charm' is working just fine."

Looking at her daughters, her smile turned into a teasing one, which Leah recognised as her blush deepened.

*cough*

"Anyway, I guess we know who the glasses are staying with."

Aya pouted at not being able to read at twenty times the speed…

"Well, it's better that way. I'm already running out of good books to red, I'd hate to breeze through them even faster."

Thus, Echo's style had a pair of seemingly simple, yet, to him alone, extremely OP, and surprisingly charming spectacles included.
