In a completely black room sat a young man with magnificiant glasses on the ground looking intensely in front of him.
If anybody was with him they might be thinking what for physco looks so intensely in front of him where nothing was, but then they will panick as they were trapped in a complete black room.
But for Jin it was very different as only him can see the blue screen that was in front of him.
[Click on the button to start the gacha and decide your next species in your next life]
He has been here for an hour already but nothing happened except this blue screen appearing before him in the beginning.
After waiting for another minute Jin finally decided to click on the start button.
'Nothing is here and this is the only thing I can do... No matter how suspicious this whole setup is, I gotta do something' Setting his glasses in a comfortable position Jin clicked on the start button.
The screen quickly was replaced with an other screen that displayed a very colorful animation of an egg cracking.
Soon gray light came out and Jin felt a very bad premonition inside his head.
In most gacha games gray meant common or even inferior than the standard. But what does he know? Maybe it's the best thing you can get.
That's what he hoped for.
Soon the egg cracked completely revealing a complete white duck with orange feet and beak.
[Congratulation! 1* species: White Duck]
No matter how Jin wanted to comfort himself with some rest-assuring words like that it was probably the best species you can get or that he can achieve something that mankind yearned for such as naturally flying or being an intelligent duck.
It all came down he was a duck. A freaking useless white duck that has no combat prowess.
Well, Jin assumed if this bizzare event happened the way he read his novels then he will be likely be transported to an another world where magic exist or a xianxia/wuxia world.
Assuming that Jin just hoped he will be transported into a fantasy world where the danger is much lower than a xianxia world. Maybe he will even be adopted into an all-powerful family where he only need to be a pet from a young princess/lady.
but the next screen crashed all his hopes.
[Host will be transported to the lovely xianxia like world that host has read about in a lot of novels! Ain't I generous host?]
Even though the text appeared like normal dull words. Jin felt the mockery behind it.
Aren't the systems be emotionless!? Jin inwardly cried, but soon he felt his whole body getting dragged to somewhere by an unknown force.
...
*Chirp* *Chirp*
Jin slowly opened his eyes as he felt the hard ground of earth. The feeling standing on the soil and grass with his bare feet felt so nostalgic and yet so bad.
'Am I really a duck?' Jin wanted to cry when he saw his pure white wings and body.
turning his head to the side he saw the familiar screen again!
[Welcome to your next life host! As this is the beginning of your new life I generously give you a starter-pack and a small turtorial to utilise me, the system!]
[First by saying status out-loud or in your mind you can view your status and current condition. Try it!]
Jin inwardly cursed the system with the most gruesome words he can think of, but he did what the system told him.
Quickly a screen appeared before him.
- - -
Name: Jin
Race: White Duck
Cultivation: None
Level: 1 (0/10)
Skills: None
- - -
'Asshole, why are levels in a cultivation world?' Jin was utterly confused why he saw levels under the cultivation bar.
[Although I don't have a name, I do not accept to be called Asshole, and levels are basically the stages in your cultivation realm. For example if you're level one Qi Nuturing realm that basically means that you just stepped into that realm while if you're a level 100 Qi Nuturing realm cultivator then that means you surpassed the boundary of Qi Nuturing realm and have the power of the realm or realms above that realm]
'Wait, you mean that even if I breakthrough to the next realm my levels remain the same?' Jin asked as he discovered a small hint from what the system told him.
[Basically yes.]
'Hoh~ it isn't that bad then' But Jin's mind wandered unconsciously as he thought that if he was reborn as a dragon, didn't mean that he could be way, way stronger than as a duck?
Coming back to his senses Jin quickly stopped to think of further depressing thoughts as he quickly demanded the system to give him the starter-pack.
[Jeez, don't be impatient, anyway here's your starter pack.]
[Starter-Pack for the impatient Jin:
Title: Impatient - Recently added by the system after thinking painstakingly for hundred of years. No effects added.
10+1 Starter summon ticket - x1
10+1 Starter equipment summon ticket - x1
Power Sharing - An unique skill that gathers 1% of every summoned creature's power to be given to the host.
Cultivation pill: Qi Nuturing Realm - Well, basically what is says, you will be breakingthrough the Qi Nuturing realm once eating this pill.
Tuxedo - A tuxedo specially made for a white duck and will be adjusted accordingly when changing to a higher species of the white duck. +10% experience points]
'Wait... Is this a gacha system?' Jin nervously asked when he saw the second and third reward of his starter pack.
[Yeah, why? Did you want an overlord system? Gasp, Jin you want to cheat on me with my sister?!]
Ignoring the last sentence an expression full of despair quickly appeared on his duck face. Although Jin loved gacha games, most of the time his luck was terrible!
He thought that the begin of the start button was the only gacha but it seemed this this whole system was a gacha system!
Looking around him Jin deemed that it was still safe for him. All what he saw was a peaceful lake with the forest surrounding it.
'How do I get the pill?' Having a higher cultivation realm is always better than having none even if it's the lowest.
[Just think of an inventory or anything similar and you will see your items floating in a spacious black room and think of retrieving the item you want]
Above Jin's head a golden pill appeared. Jin quickly opened his beak and swallowed the pill.
He felt his whole body burning. It continued for a few minuted but for him it felt like eternity. It's as if he will become a roasted duck soon!
[Congratulation for breakingthrough the Qi Nuturting realm!]
After the screen pop-up appeared the burning sensation he felt quickly faded and nothing was left.
'How do I use the tickets?' Jin said to the system.
[Like the inventory use your mind to think of it and if you want detailed information then think of the beautiful me!]
'...' 'How do I get detailed information without thinking of you?'
[J-Jin are you truly planning to cheat on me with my sister!? Is this why you say such harsh words to me?] The system unconsciously let out it's voice instead appearing in text form.
''Wait you can talk! Why don't you do that in the first place! And who wants your sister, I probably even can't change systems!'' Jin shouted in impulse but in reality he was just quacking like a normal angry duck.
[Well, at least you're smarter than the most people out there] Unlike the frail maiden tone the system just used, this time it sounded normal with a confirming tone, as if it was doing everything on purpose.
[Actually in most cases you need to say my name, but because I don't have a name you need to name me]
''Asshole'' Jin immediately said without thinking of any better name.
[I refuse, think of another name] Said the system in a resolute tone.
''Then how about bastard'' Even though Jin couldn't see the system or hear anything from it except it's voice, he was pretty sure he heard a vein bursting.
[Should I change your name into bastard?] Said the system in a sweet voice that will melt every worry.
But sadly Jin wasn't affected as he try to come with an another name ''Sigh~ How about Alicia?''
[Oh, it surprisingly a normal name, why did you think of it?] Asked the system.
''It was my hamster's name'' Jin said without any guilt.
[... Host's name: Jin officially changed to: Duck Bastard]
''Fine, fine, how about 'Mia'?'' Jin relented after he checked his status and actually saw Duck Bastard in the place of his name.
[And... how did you came up with that?]
''Your voice was pretty sweet thus I unconsciously thought of Mia as it sounded a good name with a sweet voice like you''
[Host name: Duck Bastard is officially changed back to Jin, I will accept this name] Mia happily said as she changed back Duck Bastard's name to Jin.
Jin then thought of Mia's name and quickly a banner of different girls and a guy appeared.
Like normal gacha's banners Jin clicked on the only banner and used his 10+1 starter summon ticket.
[Starting Gacha....]
