Chapter 4 Gacha Rolls

"System, Start the Gacha Roll." called out Alex.

[Ding! Yes Host!]

As he gazed ahead, Alex witnessed ten lottery wheels simultaneously spinning before his eyes. Anticipation filled the air as he waited for the wheels to come to a halt. After thirty seconds of suspense, the rewards were finally dispensed.

[ The rewards :

Stamina recovery potion x 5

Black Trench Coat (Bulletproof)

Low Health recovery stone x 3

Skill stone: Stealth

Knowledge stone: Sketching Mastery

Black Gloves - 2 pairs

15,000 Dollars

White mask (Panty) - Ayame Kajou from From SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist

Skill stone: Superhuman Reflexes

Iron Crowbars - Cido Kageno from The Eminence of the shadow.]

'Not bad for my first draw' Alex thought, but a vein popped on his forehead as he contemplated what he had done to get Ayame Kajou's mask.

Despite his frustration with the situation involving Ayame Kajou's mask, Alex felt a sense of relief as he had acquired some money from the gacha. It came at a crucial time when his body growth was constantly changing, and he urgently required new clothes, a laptop, and a mobile phone. With the current circumstances at home, where he couldn't rely on his sister or grandmother for financial support, Alex recognized that as the man of the house, it was his responsibility to start earning money for the family.

Now, Alex was eager and curious to learn about the specifics of the rewards he had obtained through the gacha. He desired to know the exact details and nature of the items or benefits he had received.

"System, please open the inventory and provide a detailed explanation of the functions and capabilities of the items I have acquired," Alex requested, waiting the system's response.

[Ding! Yes Host!]

[Inventory: Bloodline Vial (Random), Skill Stone: True Will, Note, Stamina recovery stone x 5, Black Trench Coat (Bulletproof), Low Health recovery stone x 3, Skill stone: Stealth, Knowledge stone: Painting Mastery, Black Gloves - 2 pairs, 15,000 Dollars, White mask (Panty), Skill stone: Superhuman Reflexes, Iron Crowbars]

[Bloodline Vial (Random): Ingest to get a bloodline randomly.

True Will: The power of freedom from anyone's mind control. It ensured that his mind remained impervious to direct manipulation or influence, allowing him to assert his independence and maintain autonomy over his thoughts and decisions. Additionally a psychic barrier that can activated and deactivated, providing the host with a shield against external influences and mental intrusions. It also grant the ability of limited psychic telepathy, enabling to communicate with others.

Note: Paper used by the woman to talk with host. The host needs to write on the paper to reply back.

Stamina recovery Potion: A potent elixir that restores the user's stamina and revitalizes their energy immediately.

Black Trench Coat (Bulletproof): A stylish yet practical coat made with advanced bulletproof materials. It provides excellent protection against firearms and other projectile-based attacks. The coat is lightweight, flexible, and designed to blend seamlessly with various outfits.

Low Health recovery potion: This potion is specifically crafted to swiftly restore a small portion of the consumer's health. Upon consumption, it has the ability to heal superficial wounds and revitalize stamina, providing a much-needed boost in times of physical exhaustion or when facing minor injuries.

Stealth: Stealth allows its user to physically blend in with their surroundings and hide all traces of their presence, essentially turning themselves both physically and magically invisible. Although this skill can be in very handy in battle, it can also be taxing on its user's mana reserves, as it costs mana to activate alone and consumes extra for every second it stays active afterwards.

Sketching Mastery: It is a unique skill that enhances the ability to sketch and draw with exceptional precision, creativity, and speed. It allows the user to translate their imagination and ideas onto paper with remarkable accuracy and detail.

Black Gloves: Gloves capable of transforming between full finger

15,000 Dollars - Money

White mask (Panty): Most girls wear panties to cover their nether regions. But Ayame doesn't roll that way, as she's an anime heroine of a different kind. She wears her white cotton panties on her head in order to cover her face...and fight the good fight!

Superhuman Reflexes - Reflexes have drastically enhanced reaction speed, allowing to dodge bullets, catch flies in mid-air, dodge and maneuver around complex attacks, catch falling objects, block detriments and react instantaneously to what others take more time to react to.

Iron Crowbars: The crowbars are made from high-quality iron, making them strong and reliable for various tasks. It can be used for both practical purposes and potentially as a means of self-defense. Their durability and resilience make them invaluable assets in tackling challenging and demanding tasks.]

Alex's excitement grew as he absorbed the information. The "True Will" ability had been granted to him according to his own desires, and the other abilities provided a safety net for challenging circumstances. However, his focus shifted to the mysterious "Bloodline Vial," which intrigued him the most.

Curiosity compelled Alex to seek clarification from the system regarding the concept of a bloodline. He asked whether ingesting the vial would grant him the powers of a randomly chosen being.

"System, could you please explain the concept of a bloodline? Will consuming the vial grant me the powers of a specific being chosen at random?" Alex inquired.

[ Yes Host. But I will recommend that you take it after all your stats reaches 50. The Body requires the strength to assimilate with new blood line.]

Filled with excitement and a rush of emotions, Alex, in a moment of impulsiveness, took out all the skills and knowledge stones he possessed and crushed them together. However, the overload of information proved to be overwhelming for him. The sheer volume of knowledge and skills he absorbed was too much to bear, causing Alex to faint abruptly. Thankfully, he was still lying in his bed, ensuring a safe landing during his unconscious state.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following morning, Alex woke up with a slight headache. Realizing the need to avoid impulsive actions, he promptly requested the system to remind him not to engage in reckless behavior without careful consideration. With that reminder in mind, he got ready for his morning run and headed outside, noticing that it was still early and the rest of the household remained asleep.

After doing his morning chores, Alex got ready to go for a run. He changed into his running attire, laced up his shoes, and headed outside.

He stepped out of the house, the cool morning breeze brushed against his face, refreshing him. The streets were quiet and eerily quiet. He started his run, his footsteps echoing in the silence of the morning.

Setting off on his run, Alex took the opportunity to scout the area, familiarizing himself with the surroundings and identifying any potential risks or dangers. The quietness of the early morning allowed him to focus on his observations and gather valuable information about the neighborhood. As he explored the vicinity, he maintained a vigilant mindset, determined to uncover any potential threats and ensure the safety of his family and loved ones.

The rhythmic sound of his footfalls and the steady beat of his heart served as a calming soundtrack to his thoughts. He reflected on the events of the past few days, the newfound abilities he possessed, and the responsibilities that came with them.

Just like Uncle Ben said "With great power comes, Great Responsibility".

As he reached a nearby park, he decided to slow down and take a moment to appreciate the serenity of nature. The soft rays of the rising sun filtered through the trees, casting a warm glow on the surroundings. The scent of fresh grass and blooming flowers filled the air, creating a soothing ambiance.

While catching his breath, Alex's gaze wandered around the park, surveying the area with a trained eye. He scanned the park benches, the playground, and the walking paths, searching for any signs of trouble or suspicious activities. Satisfied that everything seemed calm and peaceful, he continued his run, pushing himself to go further and faster.

Recalling the need to gather information, Alex wasted no time and embarked on a quick run to acquire a newspaper along the way. Upon reaching home, he spotted his sister and politely requested the use of her computer, to which she granted him permission.

Approaching his sister, Alex asked politely, "Hey sis, do you mind if I use your computer for a while? I need to look up some things."

His sister, grateful that he was talking to her, happily nodded . "Sure, Alex. Take your time. Let me know if you need any help."

Thanking her, dedicating himself to thorough research, Alex delved into his online search. Hours passed as he diligently surfed through various websites, news articles, and forums, gradually, a clear picture of his situation began to emerge.

Through his extensive research, Alex gradually realized that he had been transported to a timeline resembling that of the Young Justice universe, albeit with some noticeable differences. It was a world populated by young superheroes and a realm of extraordinary abilities and metahumans. Understanding this, he made a silent vow to himself to face whatever challenges came his way head-on, protecting his family and loved ones with every fiber of his being.

As he closed the last tab on the computer, Alex's mind was filled with a clearer picture of the world he now inhabited. He had a newfound understanding of the potential threats and adversaries he might encounter. Recognizing the importance of maintaining a safe environment for his family, he resolved to prioritize the security of their surroundings.

With determination in his eyes, Alex made a mental plan to fortify the area around his house. He envisioned strengthening the existing security measures, setting up surveillance cameras, and enhancing the overall safety of their residence.

Taking a deep breath, he thanked his sister for her support and logged off the computer. The task at hand was clear, and Alex was ready to take on the responsibility of safeguarding his family. He knew it would require dedication, resourcefulness, and a willingness to confront any dangers that lurked in the shadows.

As Alex sat down to plan his day, he outlined several important tasks that he needed to accomplish. His first priority was to head to the mall and purchase a new phone, a Bluetooth headset, and a laptop. These items would not only help him stay connected but also assist him in various aspects of his journey.

Additionally, Alex recognized the need to update his wardrobe to accommodate his growing physique. He specifically aimed to purchase new clothes, with a preference for dark-colored attire. The choice of dark colors reflected his personal style and allowed him to blend in more easily if the need arose.

With his objectives set, Alex prepared himself for the day's errands. He made a mental note to prioritize the items on his list and ensure he made thoughtful purchases to meet his specific needs.
