CHAPTER 29: CH 29

"But still I have to do something for pregnancy issue. I can’t keep relying on points for it, they are much more important than that." I thought as I look at the two options at the bottom.

[Stimulation]

[Gacha]

A smile appeared on my face as a look at these two option. Since I currently I have no use for stimulation, I ignore it for now and look at this second option Gacha.

But that wasn’t the only reason, there was something thrilling about that second option, something that called to the gambler inside me.

"Heh, let’s see how good my luck really is," I thought, my fingers itching to press it. After all, who could resist the pull of a gamble when the stakes were this high?

Alex opened the ’Gacha’ option, triggering a burst of digital confetti as the system window materialized in front of him. It displayed a option of ’Draw Gacha’ with -1 SP beside it.

[Ding!!]

[In Gacha system, using the 1 Gacha option consumes 1 SP.

Note:- Since it’s host first time using Gacha, he will receive a highest rank artifact, Random unlock of a system function and a random Protagonist Halo for first three rewards before gacha will be restricted according to host level.]

Seeing that I have about 349 SP, I decided to spend about 249 of them here in gacha and keep the rest of 100 for emergency purposes for both simulation and gacha.

I was even more excited after the note from the system giving me the best of the best rewards on my first three draws.

With a grin, I muttered, "Alright, let’s do this," and tapped the Gacha icon. I didn’t bother pulling one at a time. Nope. I went all in and selected all three at once, unable to hold back my excitement.

The screen began to glow brighter and brighter, colors spinning like a wheel of fortune, each rotation making my pulse quicken.

This is it... this is where my luck shows itself.

[Congratulations!! Host has got ’Primordial Summoning Manual’!!]

[Congratulations!! Host has unlocked System function, ’Appraisal’!!]

[Congratulations!! Host has got ’Pervert Protanogist’s Halo’!!]

"Hahahaha!!! I am invincible! Hahaha!!" I shouted, my laughter echoing through the room. The first two rewards were already impressive, but it was the third one... oh, the third one had me laughing so hard my stomach hurt and tears rolled down my cheeks.

It felt like winning the lottery three times in a row. No, better than that, it felt like the universe itself had decided to spoil me.

After a few more seconds of uncontrollable laughter, I finally calmed down, wiping the tears from my eyes. "Alright, system," I said with a wide grin, still buzzing with excitement. "Show me the information on all three rewards." I said.

[Name:- Primordial Summoning Manual

Type :- All (Mana, Qi, Nether, Chakra, Sci-fi, etc)

Rank :- Primordial

Discription:- The Primordial Summoning Manual is no ordinary artifact—it is an ancient relic said to predate the birth of countless universes. Legends speak of it as a fragment of an eternal library hidden beyond space and time, a place where all summoning techniques are cataloged and perfected. No one knows who created it, only that its origin is older than any civilization and older than the very concept of cultivation or technology.

The manual allows its wielder to summon virtually anything—living creatures, weapons, artifacts, constructs, or even fragments of lost worlds—limited only by their imagination and personal energy. The higher the user’s level and understanding of their own power, the greater the scale and complexity of what can be brought forth.

Note:- Due to the host’s current low level and the limitations of this world, the manual is restricted to E-rank summons—basic creatures, minor tools, or low-grade weapons. Additionally, it cannot be used until the host awakens and cultivates their own personal energy source (Mana, Qi, Chakra, Nether Energy, or equivalent).]

[Name:- System Appraisal

Type :- All (Can Appraise anything)

Discription:- The System Appraisal is a supreme identification tool capable of analyzing and evaluating virtually anything within the known—and unknown—cosmos. From the tiniest particle of matter to colossal formations spanning worlds, its insight is absolute and seemingly without any boundaries.

Note:- Due to current limitations, the appraisal function can only scan and analyze beings, items, or materials up to Authority Level 1 (equivalent to Level 11 or F-rank). Higher-level objects will return incomplete or obscured data until the host advances further.]

[Name:- Perverted Protanogist’s Halo

Type :- None

Discription:- Often called the greatest cheat in existence, the Protagonist’s Halo is a mysterious blessing carried by select individuals chosen by their world’s will. It bends probability, twists fate, and grants its bearer levels of luck that defy all logic—sometimes in amusing ways, sometimes in life-saving ones.

Each Halo manifests differently, bestowing distinct types of luck, whether good or bad, subtle or outrageous.

Each Halo provides different type to luck, good or bad. Halo of Y**ki R**o provides:- Lucky moments with heroines, known as Lucky Pervert moment (you get it, right?), Easy to trust aura, 30% success chance while using luck based skills and Extreme survival abilities / luck.]

Alex’s face lit up like a kid in a candy store when he snagged those rewards! "No way! This is insane!" he exclaimed, barely able to contain his excitement.

"I’ve got the Primordial Summoning Manual! Isn’t it like having top tier equipment while still being a beginner! And this System Appraisal thing? It’s like having an all knowing book!"

Between laughs, he couldn’t help but remark, "Even though I can’t use the first one as a whole and second partially yet, the Halo alone make it up for everything!" I said in my mind, still looking at it.

It alone make up for everything lacking! It’s crazy to think all this came from a few taps in a Gacha! These are abilities and things a person dream about." Alex thought, just the third reward alone make up for all the hardwork or suffering he had till now.

With his heart still racing, Alex eagerly activated the Gacha once more, unable to resist the thrill. His fingers trembled slightly as he confirmed the pull, eyes locked on the swirling lights that began to spin again.

"Come on... give me another treasure," he muttered under his breath, leaning forward as if trying to will the system to grant him something even more extraordinary.

The glow intensified, colors merging and flashing like a storm of fortune, and for a moment, it felt like time itself slowed down.

Alex’s lips curled into a grin. This... this feeling of chance... it’s addictive in its own way... He finally understood why so many people fall in gambling.

[Congratulations!! Host has got a freashly used ’Vibrator’!!]

[Name: Vibrator (Freshly Used)

[Type: Questionable Artifact

[Description: Slightly warm, faintly buzzing, and carrying the scent of regret. Probably not what you were hoping for... but hey, it vibrates.]

"..."

...

*A Few Minutes After*

Just like that, Alex burned through nearly all his SP on the Gacha, leaving only 100 SP as his safety net. One pull after another, glowing lights filled the air... but most of what he got was nothing but junk—trinkets, low-tier items, and things that looked barely worth a glance.

Doubt crept in, threatening to kill his thrill entirely. But just as his gambler’s spirit was about to flatline, the system chimed—ding!—and a flash of brilliance appeared in the next pull... then another.

Two back-to-back good draws. Not just decent, but good enough to breathe life back into his dying sense of hope.

"Heh... not dead yet," he murmured with a smile as back two back two pull of good gacha pulls, breathed a breath of life in his dying gambler spirit.

[Name:- Night Steal

Type:- Class Skill

Rank:- Peak C rank (Passive Skill)

Discription:- Night Steal, a passive skill inherent to the Night Thief class [B rank class].

When any steal is done at night, there’s a 50% (more or less depending upon power difference) chance that the person from whom it is done won’t realise it till the morning, if it isn’t pointed out by anyone.

Note:- The skill effect will be broken when pointed out by someone who knows you are going to steal. As long as host consider something that can be stolen, this skill can be activated.]

[Name:- Dream Book and Pen

Type:- Mana

Rank:- Peak D rank (Artifact)

Discription:- When words are inscribed within this ancient journal using its specially attuned pen, they manifest as vivid and immersive dreams in the mind of the chosen target. These dreams are so realistic that they blur the line between illusion and reality, leaving the subject unable to distinguish one from the other.

For lower-ranked beings (F, E, and some D-rank), the effect is nearly flawless—making them believe the dream is their true experience. Higher-ranked beings may resist or sense something amiss, depending on their mental strength and spiritual defenses.

Price:- 10,000 SP (Consumable items can be brought again from shop)]
