Introduction
"I've already spent this month's rent... "
I am currently slouching on my computer chair, thinking about my bad life decisions.
"I could always cut the food budget... "
I know. A horrible decision, really. But there's nothing I can do.
I pulled for more 10x draws.
"Still none... "
I have to pull some more. I can't stop until I get my waifu.
I rolled, and rolled, and rolled until my credit card run dry.
"No... I still have enough for a few 10x draws. "
I clicked the left mouse button for a gazillionth time today.
A spinning rainbow card flashes in my monitor. Energy was flowing around the card. The card's spinning slows down gradually until it stops.
"UR... Ultra Rare?"
"So it's ture. There is a new rarity for them..."
The card shines as it displays the UR. I clicked the card and the energy around it slowly dissipates.
A young woman is diplayed on my computer screen.
"Amelia Favreau. Iris of Iron and Blood. Ultra Rare. " I muttered.
"Greetings, adventurer. I am Amelia Favreau, knight of Iris Nationale. " the text in the screen and the voice from my headphones uttered in unison.
"...What the... It's true..."
Ultra Rare partner cards. It was a famous urban myth among the players of Paradise Lost. It was also a meme circulating in breadeat and @channel. To think that the posts was actually true.
"Those dataminers are really something else... "
I still have a lot of crystals left to pull for more but this is more important. I checked my mailbox to receive my new partner card.
Amelia Favreau partner card
'Accept?'
'Accept'
The lights in my room flashed and the computer shut down.
"Right now? Really? "
I rebooted my computer and launched the game.
I checked my inventory and the card is nowhere to be found.
"What the... Did I hallucinate just now? But my crystals are already down... Was it my imagination? "
I checked the mailbox.
'No mail'
I checked my inventory again. Not in the partner cards tab.
"I got her earlier... What the hell..."
Come on! I spent a shitton of money! They can't jut take her away from-
*knock* *knock*
I heard a knock on my door.
I paid no attention to it.
I searched through my inventory again.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
I heard another knock.
I didn't open the door.
*knock* *knock* *knock*
I heard another knock.
I was taken out of my trance.
There was another knock followed by a voice.
"Is there anyone here? "
I approached the door and opened it. A beautiful woman was standing in front of my doorway.
"Answer my question... "
