CHAPTER 6 Gacha
"Now that I've revealed how things work, do you have any other questions related to the topic, Master?"
WNot for now, Clarion. I need to process all of this. But why are the other system functions blocked?"I replied, feeling intrigue growing within me.
"Excellent question! I personally blocked them, as once they're integrated with your soul, they will be impossible to change. But something tells me that with our next hunt, they might be upgradable. It's a risk we must take, as once Kang starts his destiny, it will be too late." Clarion smiled with a mysterious gleam in her eyes.
"So, do we have to steal his destiny? Do we have to... kill him?" I nervously asked, uncertain of where this would all lead.
"It's an option, yes. But if we're lucky, we won't have to resort to that. After all, there won't be an apocalypse, and there are still laws in this world. And your grandfather can only help you in Japan."
"I breathed a sigh of relief at that response; it was to be expected that she knew about my grandfather.
My mom comes from an affluent and politically powerful family in Japan. During a vacation trip to Mexico, she fell in love with a Son of a B*tch who got her pregnant and then abandoned her. Typical Latin America, right? Anyway, my mom had to return to Japan and apologize to my grandfather for such an offense to his family, according to him.
After some time, my grandfather calmed down due to my grandmother's insistence, and now everything is fine.
My mom inherited my grandfather's business, and my grandfather keeps trying to involve me in politics" it's quite boring, and I sometimes escape... I drifted off again.
Knowing that I had finished my thoughts, Clarion continued.
"To prepare ourselves, we just need luck. With the amount of energy I've just stolen, that's easy now, hehe" Clarion smiled with a sinister twinkle.
"What's next? A beginner's package?" I sarcastically remarked.
"Precisely, dear Master. Your beginner's package consists of doing 10 spins of the Gacha with a guaranteed SSR. The Gacha, an ability that defies the laws of destiny, will give you the chance to obtain any ability, object, or talent you desire.
Right now, it's configured to give us things that will allow us to quickly steal Kang's destiny and strengthen you at the same time. I even added 30% of the destiny energy I stole from this world. I don't even know what it will give us, but it's safe to say it will be useful. Are you ready, Master?"
"Yeah"After saying so, a huge roulette appeared before my eyes.
"You can think about spinning it or do it manually, Master."
Out of excitement, I chose to do it manually. As the wheel began to spin, I nervously watched. I was never good at gacha games, hoping that the system would indeed change my luck.
While lost in thought, the roulette started to slow down, until finally...
*Ding* Congratulations! You have unlocked an unparalleled treasure:

I don't feel anything, I'm afraid of not feeling anything, a fear I can't even feel. At first, I was ecstatic about the rewards, but it quickly escalated at a dizzying pace.
I felt like I could encompass the entire universe, but that magnitude almost made me collapse. The World Tree managed to heal me, but the next reward pushed me to my limit.
It took away all my emotions, turning my mind into a cold calculator, comprehending everything in cold numbers and data.
I was on the verge of losing myself in that abyss.
I refuse to lose myself because of a fucking title.
I haven't even been able to enjoy having power.
I want to be a fucking protagonist.
I want to go on vacation with Ako.
I want to give my mom a better life.
I want to eat my grandmother's food again.
Damn, I want to have a fucking harem full of beautiful women!!.
---------
Note:
I wasn't going to make it so powerful just yet; I was going to wait until he became the librarian. But I always thought that gacha is the most broken thing in a system if you have luck and plot power, so I wanted to give it a try.
If you could suggest powerful items or abilities for future gachas and the system store, I would appreciate it.
I hope you enjoy the chapter!!!
