Another World's Gacha
The previous throne room that was covered in gold and silver, is now covered in guts and blood. The nobles spectating are all gone after the initial panic and the rest of the people that were left behind are the soldiers, the summoned students from Earth, and the one who got fed up with all the bullish*t that has occurred since they were summoned...
At the moment, the prince is having a hard time breathing as the dagger is already in its throat, but since Kogure who already trained for a decade inside the Dimensional Training Room already knows how to properly use a weapon, strike a certain part of the body, and avoid the vital organs to prolong the life of the opponent, it was a piece of cake for him to make the prince suffer.
"Put down the Prince you barbarian or else you will die by my sword!" the head knight of the guards has arrived without Kogure noticing.
Kogure's eyes took a moment to glance at the head knight before he returned his focus to the suffering prince. The prince grinned when he noticed the head knight is already there. As much as he is having a hard time breathing, with the Head Knight, the otherworlder is good as dead, he thought.
However, instead of shivering in fear, Kogure started laughing like a maniac. As a mob character, he finally snapped out of the cliches that are happening around him. It is no longer something that he likes to keep on experiencing anymore.
Grabbing the handle of the dagger still embedded in the prince, he turned to look at the Head Knight before flashing a murderous smile.
"How about...NO?"
SHRRRKKKKKK!
Flesh and bones tear apart as the dagger forcefully tears apart the body of the prince. Both the blood and guts are torn apart, butchering what was first known as the Prince.
"Your Majesty!"
Kogure grinned as he cut the prince forcefully into two using the dagger. And although it was unsuccessful, witnessing the carnage is enough to cause the other students witnessing the scene to barf at whatever they have eaten during their breakfast. Even some of the soldiers seem to have not gotten used to the bloodbath that they even barfed along on the side.
It was brutal for sure, but Kogure did not think too much and stomped his feet on the dead guy and pulled out the guts of the prince, before throwing it to the soldiers causing them to freak out.
"You guys are screaming that you want me to hand over the prince. Now that I handed the prince, you guys would dodge? What kind of soldiers you guys are?"
On the other hand, the king who is still trying to choose from the captured girls suddenly heard a few clashes and screams. At first, he thought that the guards are punishing the otherworlders but soon enough, he heard the scream of his son. His ears are not failing him, it was indeed the scream of his son.
He dropped whatever he is trying to do and returned to the throne room to see whatever is happening, only to see the bloodbath and the guts and blood splattered all over the room. He was about to say something when his eyes landed on one of the corpses that has been mutilated beyond recognition.
There is no doubt about it. The king can't be wrong about it, even if he is already quite old. The corpse that is hard to recognize is none other than his son, the prince who was clearly enthusiastic about the summoning of otherworlders. He is very passionate about everything and he wanted to use this chance to learn how to use the otherworlders for their benefit.
But those dreams of the young prince are no longer something they will accomplish with him dead.
"MY SOOONNNN! NOOOOO!"
Kogure who is currently taunting the Head Knight looked behind him and saw the king from earlier grieving from the death of the trash prince. His mind is already processing his next move and with the new variable, his next target is now on.
"Hello there, your majesty. It seems you are quite late from the party already. You should have come a little bit earlier to witness how the prince's body was torn to pieces with his guts and blood splattering the walls and the floor!"
"[Mr. Hero! Please stop this now! It's not too late to back out! Don't let the darkness consume you!]"
"Huh? What are you talking about, system? I am quite sane. And why would I back out when these royalties are all absolute pieces of sh*t? Aren't you sad that these guys are abusing their powers just to fulfill their own ambitions to rule?"
"[But you will break the peace and balance of this world if you do so!]"
"Break the balance? Aren't they the ones doing those things already? I am just here to end everything. And if I needed to become the villain to do so then I would be glad to be the one who will do so."
Kogure kicked the king who is still grieving without hesitation and the old king was forced to fall to the ground. Kogure then grabbed the hair of the king and forcefully lifted his face up.
"Where are my classmates? Where did you bring them?"
Unfortunately, the king can barely say anything especially since the king's face suffered the blow from his kick earlier, and with his kick already packing quite a lot after training, "quite a lot" might be an understatement, it was a very understandable thing that he won't be able to speak after receiving that.
"GYAAAAAHHHH!"
A brave knight lunges himself with a shout, like a brave warrior ready to die anytime, pointing his sword at the one who killed their prince. In his mind, the killer before him might have killed the prince but he was just summoned not too long ago, killing him with force won't be hard. And even if he fail, the others would take this chance to kill him.
THUD!
The soldier stopped in his tracks, midway toward the killer. He didn't stop because he felt scared, nor did he stops because his legs failed him. His body shuts down as blood slowly trickled from his forehead after the dagger that may be crude but is enough to kill someone.
In his last moments, he was still imagining the future where he got a medal of bravery and will get a family of his own after killing the Prince's killer. However, that thing will forever remain only as an image as he fell dead to the ground.
Kogure slowly approached while dragging the unconscious king and picked up the sword that the guy released after he died. He grips it and examined the blade. Despite looking shiny and cool, the sword has a poor design, and one strong blow can destroy the sword and snap it into pieces. Even the crude dagger could last a few more blows compared to the sword.
"Whatever, it's not like I needed to do much about this."
Returning to the king, Kogure grabs his hair and slaps the king's cheeks twice which made the king who collapsed slowly open his eyes. Kogure then put the tip of the dagger into the king's neck while staring at him with a menacing look in his eyes.
"Oy, how can we return to our world?" Kogure interrogated the king.
"I- I don't know..." the king stammered while his eyes are still staring at the dagger being pointed at him.
"Pathetic. Useless bastard. And here I thought I would get to know how to go back to our world."
Kogure has no use for the king and knowing that he will still continue to do things for their own greed, it's much better to eliminate all of them. It's much better to do a lesser evil deed if the one you are dealing with is much eviler than you. But then, he remembered something,
"Hey, system. Does the gacha has an item that can allow me to return to our world?"
"[The system answers. Yes, there is, but it is one-time use and can only be used by you. Not only that, but the item is only available one time, and cannot be drawn again. Also, the user cannot use it for themselves.]"
"What the heck? That is pathetic! So even if I obtain that thing, I can't return home?"
"[You cannot return home as you will be using it, but you can send someone back to where they came from like your companions that were summoned with you from where you came from which is your goal for asking the king earlier.]"
"F*CK. It was good but that doesn't sound bad. And if I can get rid of them and return them back to Earth, I can focus on myself finding a way to go back to where I came from in this world. Alright, take me to the gacha, system."
Kogure knows that the time will slow down if he is interacting with the system so he is not bothered if the soldiers remained there for quite some time. He got a good idea of what to do next.
...
...
The system sent Kogure into the gacha system. The purpose of this was because Kogure had some mild gambling addiction in the real world. He is quite addicted to gacha and since it became a daily part of his life, he decided that it would be a real thrill and real salt to obtain things via gacha which is why he proposed it. After all, luck is also a talent. If he is really lucky, then he won't need to wait for some kind of lucky omen to be lucky.
"[Since the hero is using this thing for the first time, the system will be awarded the hero a free ten pull with unlimited reroll. You can reset for an unlimited amount of time until you get what 10 pull results appeared that you desired. You are guaranteed at least one SSR rank card and one SR rank card on every ten pulls.]"
"Oh, nice! I didn't know you know this kind of stuff!"
"[The system is making reference to the "gacha" in your memories and how they work so that the user will find the gacha appealing to use in the future.]"
"Heh, not bad. So, what is the name of that item that can send them back to Earth?"
"[The system answers that it is an SSR card and in it is called [Returner Portal]."
"Damn, so I have to waste an SSR card just to get that thing? If not for the fact that I needed them to return to Earth so that I don't have to babysit them, I won't bother pulling for this crap at all. Oh well. Since we have an infinite roll for the gacha, might as well test our luck and see what will happen."
The system used the traditional gacha machine usually found in arcades and the contents are all gachapon which is easy to understand and Kogure who is addicted to it is no stranger to the gacha machine. The only difference is that, instead of turning a knob for the prize to drop, it seems the system replaced it with a lever and by pulling it down, the lever will proceed to see the result.
"Alright, HERE WE GO!"
Activating the Gacha Machine, the gachapon inside the machine started to juggle and within 10 seconds, 10 gachapon fell down and opened, revealing 10 cards, one with a violet glow and the other has a golden glow.
Kogure inspected all of the results and seeing that the reward he was looking for is not there, he discarded the first roll and proceeded to do the second roll.
And the third...
Fourth...
Until it took almost all of the time Kogure did if the time properly flowed. He didn't stop until one result with the SSR item appeared before him. Kogure did not mind what the other items from the 10 roll he got, as long as the SSR item that he was targeting were the result, that should be it.
"Alright, this result is final. I will take the 10 roll result."
"[Affirmative. 10 pull results are now yours and ready to use in your pocket inventory.]"
"Alright, time to make a good use of this useless king one last time before its time to reunite him with his son!"
