Chapter 20: The Lucky Draw
In a way, I felt grateful to Lisa and her friends.
They had taught essential lessons about how this world worked, which would shape how I dealt with people in the future. In a sense, they had pushed out of the cozy hotel, firmly nudging toward the reality of this new existence.
"To survive here, I need to take action," I realized, my determination rising with each passing mont.
But there was a problem. I was a Level 1 newbie with zero combat experience.
My Title allowed to stay calm and level-headed, except when under extre stress, so I could probably manage if I encountered a Demon and decided to stay composed.
The real challenge was defeating one and leveling up, a prospect that seed daunting at the mont.
'My skills aren't suited for combat. I need to get stronger quickly,' I muttered to myself, a bead of sweat forming on my brow as I contemplated the unknown dangers ahead.
The best idea I had was to get an Item from the .
However, I was trying to save money, so I had to find a cost-effective way to get Items that would increase my chances of survival.
'I bet most of these 'useful' Items will end up as junk after the Tutorial.
I can't waste my Currency on things like that,' I reasoned.
My goal was to find Items that wouldn't drain my wallet and would still last until the Tutorial ended, a strategy that would require careful consideration.
"Haaa... in the end, I arrived here," I said, a wry smile on my face as I looked at the System Panel in front of .

I almost laughed when I read the Lucky Draw's description.
'Rewards are certain? Who are they fooling? The odds are one in a million. It's nearly impossible to win,' I muttered, shaking my head at the audacity of the offer.
I wasn't hoping for a legendary item that would transform my fate and make super strong.
That was just too unrealistic, and I didn't want to set myself up for disappointnt. Instead, I aid for sothing more practical.
'I just want sothing to help survive here, even if it only lasts until the Tutorial ends. As long as it helps beat Demons, I'm in!' I declared, feeling a surge of determination as I reached for the Shop interface,
"Here goes nothing! Please don't let down!"

"This... I can't believe it..." My eyes widened, almost bloodshot.
After more than thirty attempts, I finally got my first item from the Lucky Draw.
I had to admit, it was nothing like I had expected.
The Item was...
"... A Rock? For real?!"
I was dumbfounded, utterly bewildered.
"This feels like a total rip-off!" I stopped myself from shouting in frustration, keeping my composure.
"I an, the odds are one in a million. What was I really expecting? Maybe I was a bit too optimistic.
However, I couldn't give up now, not after coming this far. After all, I still had 467 Currency left.
It wasn't a small amount.
"Just 17C more. After that, I'll quit. There's got to be sothing good waiting for . Please give sothing good!" I pleaded desperately, hoping I sohow got lucky.
Pouring all my heart and soul into it, I once again began gambling.

"How did it get to his point?"
