Chaos Gacha

Chapter 3: (3)



Feeling sunlight go straight into my eyelids I knew that it was morning.

I really need to take care of these curtains.

Well then, second day, lets go.

Getting up I suddenly remember that I didn't take back the previous servant uniform that I left to dry.

Bolting out of the bed and out the door I turned back to see that in still was on the branch.

Phew. That nearly gave me a heart attack. Getting to the tree I took the uniform and smelled it.

There was still a little bit odor, unfotunately, I couldn't do anything about.

Going back inside I hanged it in the closet. Taking the bow, arrows and hunting knife back again, it was time for breakfast.

...

Mhm. Nothing like rabbit for breakfast.

Now then, to train. Since I have better stats that means that I can push myself harder today.

Lets grind, shall we?

...

Man, once again, I'm spent.

But.

[Conditioning] is doing wonders for me, especially after eating.

Looking once again at my stats, I felt a sense of acomplishment like no other, even if I was some time away from becoming truly strong.

And now that I look at it, once again, I forgot to slot in [Level Up!] while hunting. Fuck.

Forget it, for lunch and dinner I'll try to remember.

____________________

Congratulations!

You have recieved a Bronze Skill Gacha Ticket for hunting a pair of rabbits.

____________________

Oh!, thanks system.

But I think I've got a better idea.

How about compiling all the tickets that I get, and give me the final result and the end of the week?

____________________

...

Accepting petition.

Tickets will be given based on the users performance through the week and will be given the compiled version at the end of it.

____________________

Thank you very much, good sir, or good lady?, I don't know...

...

Lets leave it at a thank you.

Well then, lets get this show on the road.

This time, lets go for a boar.

...

An hour later and I'm feasting on boar meat. I must say that like rabbit, its delicious, but it could do with a little bit of seasoning.

After finishing the whole boar, man I'm full, I decided to take care of one little thing.

[Legendary - Crystal Cave]

Yup, that's right. My own cave full of riches and dragons.

Soooo~

Where should I put it?

Looking around myself I see nothing but trees, the house, the view of the mountains and floating Islands, the lake with the waterfall...

...

Cave behind a waterfall, so simple that people that come here will think of somerhing more complex, if they find out about it.

But now that I think about it better. Can't those at the Golden Core already use [Divine Sense].

...

Shit, that I didn't about.

But, who with strength at the Golden Core would come to visit the outcast among outcasts?

Yeah, that's right, no one with such might will come looking around.

Definitely.

Probably.

Most sure about it.

...

Snapping out of my reverie I went towards the lake shore and started to jump on the sparce rocks that populated the lake until I got near the waterfall.

Jumping through it I landed on bigger rocks that were supported against the rock wall.

I also got drenched. That I didn't think about.

Putting my hand against the wall I willed the cave, which was in some kind of system sub-space to appear.

The wall in front of me cave in and formed into an entrance.

Big enough for two people to pass shoulder to shoulder but still small enough without getting out of bounds of the waterfalls limit.

Getting inside of it, I walked a few meters before it started to slope down. I continued on until the little cave gave way unto a much bigger space, and when I say bigger I mean bigger.

Giants stalagmites and stalactites made out of magic crystal. Protuding out of the walls haphazardly small, medium and big crystals. And on top of them there were...dragons?

Taking a closer look they looked more like the crystal lizard from Dark Souls 3. I must say system, that was pretty lazy, but, on the other hand, Dark Souls creatures, baby.

And before I forgot I looked down at the center of the caves floor.

A giant, four-winged, crystal dragon.

Having red crystalline scales along with crystal spikes along the spine and tail, with crystal claws.

His colors maching that of the crystals of the cave.

How large was this cave exactly?

A cave that was five km wide, ten km long and 3 km high.

Having a Guardian Dragon 500 m tall and 700 m long.

Wow, just wow.

'Hello there Master Rowan'

A deep voice suddenly assaulted my mind startling me.

Looking around me there was no one apart from the mini-dragons and the giant dra-

...

It's the giant dragon talking, ain't he?

Looking nervously at the giant dragon, who was looking back at me I took a few steps forward.

"Uhm, Hello."

I could see that the dragon was very much amused from the way his eyes looked at me.

"Cough, cough, okay, its just, I wasn't expecting you to, ya know, suddenly talk in my head."

'There's always a first for everyone, ain't there.'

"Yes, yes there is. Anyway, how shoulI call you?"

'The names Rhaegal, Master Rowan.'

"Okay then, now that introductions are out of the way since you seem to know already who I am, lets get to see how much 'influence' I have over the cave."

'Whatever you mean?'

Rhaegal looked puzzled towards me. I mean, I don't know how I know that he's puzzled. It must be system magic. Yeah, that's it, system magic.

"What I'm trying to say is, I 'can' control you."

'That is correct.'

"I can control the rest of the mini-dragons in this cave."

'That is also correct.'

"But can I, control de cave?"

Rhaegal closed his eyes for a moment before shaking his head.

'I'm afraid that no, you can't control the cave, only us dragons.'

"Well there goes my idea. Bah, I'll work something out, I'm sure of it."

'I'm sure that you will Master Rowan.'

"Still not used to the whole, 'master' thingy, but anyway. So, tell me Rhaegal, using the power standard of this world, how strong are you?"

'Hhmm, I would say that I seat at the Nascent Soul Realm, at the top of it.'

"..."

'Are you alright Master Rowan?'

"Y-yeah, just, absorving the information. I-it's good to know that now I have an actual powerhouse backing me."

'And that you're, technically, filthy rich, with a 'mine' full of magic crystals that you can sell to the outside world.'

"..."

Right now I must have a Joker level smile on my face because Rhaegal has just flinched.

"Sorry about that, I just got excited about something."

'T-that I can see.'

Whew. That's right, now I have a fricking wealth cave right under my feet...

Wait.

!!!

Shit, maybe...

"S-say Rhaegal, would the sudden appereance of a lot of magic crystal create some kind of magic signal that others could track?"

'Yes, why?'

"Wouldn't the sudden appereance of the cave have alerted someone.

At that, Rhaegal started to laugh softly.

'Hahahahahahaha...There's nothing that you should worry about. The cave itself serves as a wall that mantains the magic from the crystal sealed inside, making it look as nothing but another cave.'

"Oh, that's good, that's very good. Then I don't have to worry. I guess thats all. Thanks for the help Rhaegal."

'You're welcome Master Rowan.'

Alright then, lets go back.

Once again outside I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now I don't have to worry about anyone from the sect be they disciples, elders or even the sect Master from discovering my Crystal Cave.

Seeing that the sun was still up I decided to use this time to train once more.

...

I must say, I've been having a very easy time since I came to this world.

...

I just jinxed it, didn't I?

Oh well. Lets take a look at my stats.

~Five days later~

Waking up to the sunrays that I already got used to I rised from my bed and got startled with a system window.

____________________

As Hakari from JJK would say, Jackpot.

Now I only have to stab myself to recieve this stand.

Summoning the arrow it appeared on my right hand, an arrow made out of what seemed gold, with inlaid markings on the arrowhead as well as a hollow part with the form of a fusion between a heart and a diamond. The bladed zone of the arrowhead seemed to be made out of silver.

Before...stabbing myself, lets roll the advantage ticket.

____________________

Rolling Advantage Silver Ability Gacha Ticket.

An Uncommon Ability!

[Uncommon - Regenaration]

| Type: Ability |

Allows you to passively slowly regenerate from injuries using mana, the more severe the wound the longer it takes to heal. Regeneration can be accelerated by focusing and spending more mana.

or

A Rare Ability!

[Rare - Cursed Fireball]

|Rarity: Uncommon| |Class: Blaster|

Allows you to conjure a ball of powerful cursed flames, cursed flames deal increased damage against holy enemies. Unlike regular flames, Cursed Flames obey gravity and bounce against any non-organic surface.

____________________

Yeah no, this is a no-brainer.

Of course I'm choosing [Regeneration], in a world like this one where everyone might try to kill me, something like this is going to be vital.

Finally done with that I made sure to brace myself before holding the arrow in a reverse grip and stabbing my left hand.

Feeling pain once again wasn't something good that, just like anyone, I don't want to feel.

Unstabbing my hand I felt the pain start to surge through my hand up my arm until it got to my head.

Gritting my teeth I started to brace against the pain.

I don't know for how long it went but when the process was done I fell to my knees holding my left hand. It was very pale, just like the arm, and I was feeling lightheaded.

I slotted in [Regeneration] trying to use its passive effect to stop the bleeding, but nothing was happening. Using the little strength that I had left I ripped a piece of the servant uniform and wrapped my hand in it before falling head-first to the ground unconscious.

...

Finally I regained consciousness. Standing up into a sitting position I looked at my wrapped hand.

Taking ahold of the piece of cloth, I started to unwrap my hand little by little until taking it off completely.

There was no scar or mark of the wound. Turning it around again and again it reamined the same.

To make sure of everything, I called up my status only to widen my eyes at the sight of it.

I gained a new stat.

Closing my eyes and concentrating I felt a bundle of energy at the level of the navel, where the sobre of energy for a cultivator would be.

So that's mana. It is such, a novel feeling.

But, seeing the pitiful amount that I had compared to the rest of my stats, it seems that I'll have to leave physical training for a while to practice my mana.
