Gacha Sovereign

The next day, Alex, Alicia, and Firia were 'enjoying' themselves in the city.

Alex who was always training ultimately chose to enjoy his holiday after the grade ranking competition.

Alex recalled that he made a bet with Alicia and Firia, though the points he got in the night forest was far higher than them, he made up an excuse. There is also the 'kiss' incident from Alicia and the incident with Firia. He got a bit guilty with both of them, so he decided to do this.

...

"Alicia, Firia"

Alicia and Firia were dumbfounded, That 'Alex' actually visited them in his training time.'

Looking at Alicia and Firia reaction he made a weird expression, "What with you two?"

Alicia and Firia recovered, they stood up and went to him. Alicia looking at him from top to bottom in his front, while Firia looking at him at his back.

"You two?"

"Nothing. We just want to check if you are real" Firia said.

Alex's expression darkened "What with that!"

"The Alex I know won't leave his practice and meet us at his practice time. That's why we need to check you, we don't know you are the real Alex or not"

Alex snapped, "What with you two girls. Fine, I will be back. I thought inviting you to walk around the city. Hmph, I will 'Practice' again" He said that and turned back.

Alicia and Firia grabbed his arms respectively. Alicia anxiously apologize "Wait, Alex, we are wrong"

"We have all the time you want if you want to do that" Firia desperately said.

Alex halted his step and sighed. After all, this is his plan all along

They visited many places, from shops to restaurants to shops again. At first, they followed Alex wherever he goes, later, they were the ones who dragged him to 'Shop' again and again. The restaurant was his helping hand to rest for a while.

In the restaurant, after they eat. They finally asked him,

"Alex, why do you suddenly want to go like this?" Alicia asked.

"Yes, especially when there is no special occasion like this"

Alex's expression darkened.

"If you don't want to talk, it is fine"

"Yes, it is fine"

Alex looked at them "Sigh... There is one special occasion"

"Occasion?" Both of them were surprised. They didn't remember any special occasion for today.

"Remember about our bet for grade ranking competition?"

Both of them nodded, "Yes, we are betting who will get the higher points"

"Yes, but our points was far lower than you"

"Remember the first time the teacher announce my score. How many is it?"

"But he was kidding" Alicia said

"Yes, he was just kidding" Firia said, but suddenly her eyes brightened, "You mean?"

Alicia was confused with Firia expression. There seems another meaning in Alex's words. She thought about it for a bit, her eyes become widened "Alex, you..."

"Yes. Though the teacher said it was a joke, but I still lose to you guys. Though I win later on. So I was thinking if I should stop training and enjoy a bit with you two, at least for today" Alex said embarrassedly

"Hehe, I never thought you have this kind of cute side" Alicia giggled.

"Yes yes, maybe we should make another bet again, Alicia. That way, we can have a day like this again or even more" Firia giggled.

"Yes, you are right Firia"

"But first, we need to make sure enjoy this hard-to-come-by day to the fullest" Firia said with an evil smile while looking at Alex

"Of course, I'm planning to do that all along" Alicia, of course, do the same.

Alex started regretting to said all of this.

...

Alicia, Firia, and Alex finally come back to the academy.

In the room, Alicia lied down tiredly on the bed, she was satisfied with all the thing happened today, Firia surely enjoyed all of that too.

Contrary to them, Today was very exhausting, mentally for Alex. Alex sat on his beloved sofa. For what kind of experience he got today...he doesn't want to recall that.

"I haven't checked the gacha tickets I got from Night Forest. Let me see" He opened the System panel. He saw,

[Gacha Ticket 241x

Premium Ticket 0x]

"System, Why do I feel the normal tickets were so useless compared to Premium tickets?"

[One is normal, the other is Premium. Host, you asked a stupid question]

Alex was speechless, his expression becomes dark.

"Then, As I got stronger, the normal tickets would be more useless than right now ain't it?"

[Don't worry Host. When Host becomes stronger later. There might be an update for the normal gacha. The item level will be much higher than now]

"Seriously?"

[Yes Host]

"Hoho...I'm looking forward to it"

[And there is another news for you Host]

Alex frowned "News? System, all of the news from you was a trap for me. I don't want to hear it"

[Are you sure Host?]

"Yes, I'm very sure" Alex crossed his arms and nodded.

[Even the news was concerning the exchange of Normal Gacha Ticket to the Premium Gacha Ticket?]

"Let me hear about it"

Alex's attitude changed 180 degrees.

[...]

[Host, you are shameless]

"The Shameless win all" He smugly said that

[I have learned Host]

"Hmm hmm, you are very good, System" Alex nodded repeatedly.

[I should also be a Shameless System]

"Shameless System?" Alex felt something bad, he gulped down.

[I can alter the system gacha and give Host the Common items every time you use Gacha]

"System, I was joking" Alex wanted to kneel immediately to the system but there is Alicia in the room so he refrained himself from doing that.

[I was joking too Host]

"It was a joke?" Alex's eyes widened. He was already sweatdropped when the system said that, all the tone he heard from the system wasn't a joke, at least that is what he thinks. He gulped down.

[Of course, I can't alter the gacha from the Syste- I mean, I am the system itself. How can I alter myself? For an easier example, how can a human alter his own organ by operating his body by himself. Of course, he can't]

"What! Y-you, **** you" All the previous anxieties he had before vanished

[Eh, But I don't have a physical body for now. How can you **** me] The system casually said.

Alex was speechless, he snapped "I was cursing at you"

[Of course, I know that Host. As I said before, I have learned, ain't I? (The Shameless Way) that is]

"*&%$*%^" Alex cursed.

[Love you too, Host [3]

Oh wow, there is a symbol there. The system was upgrading its content.

Alex took a long while before calming himself. Fortunately, Alicia seems didn't notice his fuming this whole time.

"Sigh, Back to the topic. What is the news?"

[The first one, in the next update. There will be one or two more types for premium gacha]

"Hoh... what are those types?"

[The First one is you need to find it yourself later. The second one, you don't need to know it for now. The second one is still a probability and might be canceled later]

"What the heck! You even know that it might get canceled later. Where is the one who updates you, I will immediately demand the second one from him/her"

[You can't meet her Host. Just know, she does it for you]

"Ugh...Who is she?"

[Host remember that the system talked about my physical body?]

"Yes"

[Actually, the system didn't have the physical body. But the one who controlled the system has]

"Who is she? Why she did all this thing? Why me?"

The 'Why me' in his word felt so heavy.

[I don't know Host, there is only one way for you to know all of it. That is to get stronger and stronger and stronger. At that time, you might know the answer]

"Sigh..." Alex took a while to calm down from all of that information, "Is that all for the next update?

[In the next update there are also two new things, First, The item from normal gacha would level up. As for how high the level up, Host needs to find it later when the system finished its upgrade. This level up also applied to the Premium Gacha. And the second, Host can exchange the normal ticket to the premium ones. The exchange rate was 200 to 1]

"I see, The current normal gacha drops weren't that great. But if there will be a level up later, then it nice"

[Oh yeah, Because of the level up. The maximum rank for normal gacha drops to Rare (R)]

"Here it comes. I know you won't give me good news without the bad news. You 'Useless' System"

[Host, My name is Good Luck Gacha System. If I give you an omnipotent skill or reward, I can not say 'Good Luck' to you]

The system seems to pout.

Alex was speechless with this reasoning. This system was very...

"Then what if your name becomes 'Bad Luck'?"

[System drops will be very bad and System will say 'Serve you right']

"Forget my last question!"
