A New Weapon

"Luke?" After waking up from her slumber, Ann can't find Luke, who is supposed to sleep next to her. Where did he go? Ann stands up from the bed holding the white blanket to cover her body. Nothing happened last night so get your mind out of the gutter.

"Luke, are you in the bathroom?"

(At the Mountain)

[Do you think it is a wise choice to push your body? When you are already injured?] System asked in worry for her Host.

"Don't worry bout me," Luke casually replied while jumping across a river. "If I can't train by using my hands, I will train my legs." He needs to become stronger. He doesn't want to reach the current Lucy's or Ann's level but at Yonko's level.

[You know that is an impossible feat to do under a year, right?]

"Who said I'm going to catch on the Four Emperors under a year? We still have four years before Lucy will set on her journey and six years before she will enter the New World." Luke mentioned to the System.

"Even if I can't reach their level in under six years, then at least I want to get to the level of an Admiral."

[Heeeeh...Is it because of Ann?]

"Yeah." He doesn't want to deny it. At first, he thinks Ann's future death is a necessary evil for Lucy to become stronger, just like how Ace died for Luffy's development. But after personally knowing them and enjoying their presence in his life.

"I don't want both of them to suffer..." He muttered.

[Is that so...Then how about you pull the Gacha?] Ehhh? What kind of suggestion is that?

"Ehhh? But wasting crystals on a character this early is kind of..." A waste, not to mention that he need to explain where and when he meet them to Ann and the others. Too troublesome.

[When did I say you need to pull the Characters Gacha?]

"Huh?"

[Don't you remember that other than 'Character Order'. I also have 'Weapon Order' and 'Devil Fruit Order.' I want to tell you, how about you pull the Weapons Gacha?] Oh yeah, about that...

"What the point of pulling on Weapon Order? Sure I get a cool weapon but isn't having a character is better than having a weapon?" Luke replied to the System.

When he played Gacha games with both Characters and Weapons Gacha System in it. Usually, having the Characters are way more critical than having the Weapons.

Take Herrscher of Flamescion, for example. She is one of the broken DPS with the Domain of Incandescence, but even without it, HoF is still broken as fuck and literally can kill the mobs with a single hit.

[Not really. Having a character is indeed a good thing but in my opinion, having a weapon for yourself is better.]

"Really? How so? I mean, even if I have a legendary weapon but without skills to use it, the weapon is nothing more than a scrap of metal."

Imagine having a legendary weapon like Rebellion from Devil May Cry but doesn't know how to swing it properly. Then he will be at a disadvantage instead of being at an advantage against the enemies, not to mention what if the weapon falls in the wrong hand like Blackbeard or Doflamingo?

[No need to worry bout it. Once you get the weapon from the Order, the knowledge of the weapon fighting style will be implanted in your head.] Wait a minute, isn't that?

"That kind of broken..." Luke muttered, widening his eyes at the System's answer. "Why you didn't tell me bout this before? Why now?" Luke asked in wonder.

[Well, I don't think I need to, but after watching how determined you are at your goal, I decided to help you.]

"Isn't that supposed to be your job from the beginning?"

[Well yeah, but I only help if you piqued my interest.] The SystemSystem casually replied to him. [Plus, I also like Ann and Lucy.]

A window appeared in front of him.

It's weird for him to hear the System talking like a robot. His surroundings began to be covered by a night sky full of stars. "Beautiful.." He muttered as he looked around him. Simply marvelous...

Ten of the Stars began to move away from the sky and are flying straight toward him... Eight of them were blue, one of them is purple while the last one was gold. Luke doesn't know why he felt so safe despite the shooting stars heading toward him. It just feels neutral...

Luke raised his eyebrows at some of the 3-Stars Weapon's names; really? A Tree Branch and A Stick? Oh well, let's ignore it. "So Engulfing Lightning, eh? I had this weapon at refinement 5 on my Main Genshin account." Luke muttered. He missed playing that game well, not as much as how he missed Fate/Grand Order.

[Host, try to look at the 5-Stars Weapon's Status and Passive]

"Let's see."

"That kind of broken." The weapon skill has a short time limit and long cooldown, but the ability alone is enough to satisfy Luke. "With this in my hand, I have a higher chance to become stronger." He muttered.

[Well, it is what it is. Don't be so full of yourself because no one knows what will happen in a fight.]

(Back to the Hut)

"I'm bac- Uffffff!" Before he could enter, Ann ran out of the hut and gave him a tight hug. "Idiot, where did you go!?" Ann scolded him in worry, with her face buried into his chest. "Stop worrying me. You are still injured, remember!"

Luke looked down at her with a warm smile, "I'm sorry for worrying you, Ann." He replied to her. "I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again." Ann looked up at him and said, "You better be." before kissing him.

"Now let's enter, okay?"

"Okay.." Ann nodded her head.

[You know, sometimes I wonder when you will have sex with her?]

'Fuck off, System'

[Duhhh...I'm stuck with you, Host. You guys already did many intimate kinds of stuff before, so stop being a wuss.]

'I don't want to force her. What if she felt disgusted when I asked her to have sex with me? What if I can't satisfy her with my non-existent sex skill?'

[Really, Host? Just ask her.] Seriously, when will he become a man? They are already a couple, and most women in a relationship aren't willing to wait for an indecisive man. [You like her, she like you. If she doesn't want to do it, then respect her decision, but if she wants to do it, then do it with her. Don't keep her waiting.]

'You are right about that...Maybe I will ask her once I healed.' Luke looked at his bandaged arms. He is going to become a better person than before. After all, a new weapon means a new person.
