{No buts~} Liya interrupted him sweetly, stepping closer with a teasing grin. {Once you try it, you’ll get completely addicted. Besides, you can always earn more Evolution Points. Don’t be so stingy, my baby.}
Nova stood silently for a few seconds, carefully considering Liya’s words. Deep down, he knew she was right. He could always earn more Evolution Points in the future, but if he truly wanted to survive and thrive in this dangerous world, he needed to grow much stronger and quickly.
With a determined sigh, he finally made his decision.
"Alright, fine... I’ll buy 90 Gacha Keys."
The mont the words left his mouth, a bright system notification appeared in front of him.
[Congratulations!]
[You have successfully purchased 90 Gacha Keys!]
[-900,000 Evolution Points]
[98,860 Evolution Points remaining]
A sharp sting pierced Nova’s heart as he watched nearly a million Evolution Points vanish in an instant. The number felt painfully large, especially after everything he had gone through to earn them. But he clenched his jaw and held his emotions in check. This was necessary.
{You’ve made an excellent decision, Host~} Liya’s voice rang out with clear excitent. {Now get ready... the real fun is about to begin.}
Nova sat down cross-legged on the endless blue floor of the System Space. Liya floated gracefully above him, both of their eyes fixed on the glowing system panel hovering in front of them.
"Let’s start," Nova said, taking a deep breath. "Use one Gacha Key."
The blue wheel spun rapidly with a vibrant glow before slowing down and stopping with a clear chi.
Ding!
[Better luck next ti!]
"Fuck..." Nova muttered, feeling a sharp sting in his chest. Ten thousand Evolution Points gone in an instant for absolutely nothing. He felt like crying.
{Hmph~ You think it’s that easy?} Liya’s voice echoed with mild amusent.
{It would be outrageous if you got sothing good on your very first try, especially with your current Luck stat being so low. At least use more than ten keys at once. You’ll probably get sothing then.}
Nova stayed silent for a mont. As much as he hated to admit it, Liya had a point. Getting a jackpot on the first try was extrely rare, even in normal gambling.
"Fine," he said with a sigh. "Use 10 keys at once."
The wheel spun again and again in quick succession.
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[...]
[...]
After several disappointing results, a golden flash finally appeared.
[You have obtained a Epic Treasure: Spatial Storage Ring]
[Description: A high-grade spatial storage artifact with an enormous internal space equivalent to a small city. It can store both living and non-living objects, preserving them perfectly in a ti-frozen state. Bound to the user upon equipping.]
The rest of the spins continued with more failures.
"Cough... cough!" Nova suddenly coughed loudly, feeling dizzy and strangely suffocated. Nearly a hundred thousand Evolution Points had vanished into thin air, and all he got was a storage ring. He already had the System Inventory — why would he need another storage item?
"FUCK! FUCK! FUCK! What kind of bullshit is this?!" Nova cursed furiously as he shot up to his feet. "Shouldn’t I at least get a skill or sothing useful?!"
His sudden outburst startled Liya, who was floating near his head. She flinched backward in surprise.
{For fuck’s sake, Host! Calm down,} Liya said urgently, trying to soothe his anger.
{This isn’t as bad as you think. Just think about it — you can give this Spatial Storage Ring to Rieka.}
{ It would be incredibly useful for her since she doesn’t have an inventory like you do. It’s far superior to any spatial storage items you can buy in the market. I’ll be honest with you... you actually pulled a fucking rare treasure.}
Liya’s words slowly sank in. Nova’s breathing gradually steadied as he realized she was right. The ring was indeed a valuable item. His frustration mostly stemd from getting only one reward after spending so many points, and not receiving the powerful skill he had desperately wanted.
He let out a long sigh and sat back down on the blue floor.
"Change this fucking scenery to a peaceful green forest," Nova ordered. "It’ll help calm my mind. And you... co here and sit on my lap. Won bring luck to ."
Even though his words sounded ridiculous, his face remained completely serious.
{What kind of logic is that...?} Liya muttered, half-amused and half-exasperated. {Anyway... I’m not complaining~}
The endless blue expanse around them instantly transford. The scenery shifted into a beautiful, tranquil green forest. Sunlight filtered gently through the leaves of tall, elegant trees.
A clear river stread peacefully nearby, its soft flowing sound creating a soothing atmosphere. The air felt fresh and calming.
Liya floated over and gently lowered herself onto Nova’s lap. Even though her body was still virtual and didn’t have any real weight, she sat as if she were truly there. Her thick, wide ass hovered just above his thighs, and she leaned back slightly against his chest, looking surprisingly content.
Nova nodded in satisfaction, a small smirk forming on his lips as he placed his hands on her soft, curvaceous waist.
"Use 20 Gacha Keys this ti," Nova said with renewed determination. "Let’s see if I can finally get a skill."
The glowing blue wheel spun rapidly multiple tis before slowing down with soft chis.
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[...]
A bright flash appeared.
[You have acquired 150 Agility Stat Points.]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
..
More spins continued with disappointing results until another golden notification lit up the panel.
[You have acquired a passive Skill: Infinite Arms Mastery (Rank - A)]
[Description: A supre combat skill that grants absolute mastery over every weapon of this world. By wielding any armant, the user instantly comprehends its structure, flow, and killing principles. This allows the user to reach monstrous levels of proficiency through battle alone.]
"Oh yeah~!" Nova exclaid excitedly, pumping his fist. "See? I told you won bring luck! I finally got a fucking A-rank skill, plus 150 extra Agility points. At least this wasn’t a complete waste!"
In his excitent, he reached out to hug Liya, but his arms passed straight through her virtual body. The seductive woman let out a soft, lodious giggle, clearly amused by his enthusiasm.
{Yaha~ I can see that. It’s nice to know my presence brought you luck, Host~} Liya said playfully.
{This skill pairs perfectly with your existing weapon mastery. Not only does it allow you to master any weapon from this world, but it also grants deep understanding of its fundantal principles. You’ll improve at a terrifying speed.}
She leaned closer, her voice turning slightly serious.
{I would suggest you use your Fusion Skill to combine all your weapon-related abilities. It could create sothing even more powerful.}
Nova nodded thoughtfully. He understood exactly what she ant. Previously, he had to fight hundreds of Wolfangs just to reach basic mastery with his greatsword.
But now, with Infinite Arms Mastery, he could comprehend the core principles of any weapon almost instantly. And with his law-defying Fusion Skill, he had the perfect tool to elevate his abilities to an even higher level.
"Yeah, you’re right," Nova said, nodding thoughtfully. "Now that I think about it, I haven’t used my Fusion Skill even once yet. After my Infinite Adaptation and Mutation Skill, this one feels like the strongest skill I possess... and I can tell that even without having activated it."
He clenched his fists with determination. "Alright then, let’s do this. Use all the remaining Gacha Keys at once. I can’t stand pulling them one by one. Doing them all together should increase my chances of getting sothing good."
The glowing blue wheel began spinning rapidly. One after another, the notifications flashed before his eyes.
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[...]
Suddenly, a brilliant golden light erupted from the panel, far brighter than any previous reward.
[You have acquired a Active Skill: Reality Override (Rank - S)]
[Description: A forbidden illusion art capable of rewriting the target’s perception of reality. It forces them to experience an entirely false world as absolute truth. Within the illusion, mories, sensations, pain, and even the passage of ti feel completely real to the victim.]
Nova’s eyes widened in shock and excitent as he read the description of the powerful new skill.
The wheel continued spinning rapidly. Nova’s eyes widened with every flash of light, his heart pounding harder as if they might pop out of his skull at any mont.
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[...]
Another bright notification appeared.
[You have acquired 200 Strength Stat Points.]
The spins kept going, building tension with each disappointing result until a powerful violet glow erupted from the panel.
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[Better luck next ti!]
[You have acquired a Active Skill: Voidborne Telekinesis (Rank - A )]
[Description: A forbidden void-type ability that allows the user to manipulate matter and energy through sheer force of will. The user can lift, crush, throw, or immobilize targets from a distance. At higher mastery, the skill can create invisible void barriers, compress space, and even tear apart objects at a molecular level. The more rage or focus the user channels, the deadlier the telekinetic force becos.]
Nova stared at the new skill in stunned silence, his breathing slightly ragged from the rollercoaster of emotions.
