***
Since Arton knows that she will meet the end of her life at the age of 21, then Arton must know the reason why her life will come to an end.
As long as the cause of death is known, perhaps her death can be prevented.
This is Uta's current thought.
Although staying in Elegia might also reveal the cause of her death through Arton's diary, Uta can no longer wait quietly.
Gordon, seeing Uta's determination, although wanting to stop her, couldn't keep Uta from leaving.
"Perhaps, going out might also benefit Uta's growth."
With this thought, Gordon and Uta began to prepare for setting out to sea.
...
East Blue.
[Ding! You have earned enough points for today's diary to participate in a draw.]
[Continued recording today will not earn additional points.]
[You have 100 points, which allows for a draw.]
[Note: 100 points can only participate in the lowest level draw, with a low probability of receiving excellent rewards and a high probability of receiving average rewards.]
"This is enough?"
Arton, hearing the prompt in his mind, stopped recording in the diary.
His attention had already shifted to the draw.
'A lowest-tier draw, huh... Observation Haki awakening potion, Armament Haki awakening potion, these are also included in the lower-tier rewards?'
'Higher-tier rewards... include templates of characters from various dimensions?'
'Although templates of characters from various dimensions are good, even if I spend more points on a higher-tier draw, I might not be able to draw them.'
'On the contrary, I should now aim to obtain abilities like Armament Haki and Observation Haki.'
Arton propped his chin with his hand, thinking to himself.
He hadn't forgotten how, not long ago, the lack of Observation Haki meant he couldn't pursue the Captain marine and the Celestial Dragons.
Armament Haki is equally important.
Even though he now possesses the powerful swordsmanship of Tsugikuni Yoriichi, without Armament Haki, he would be at a disadvantage in many aspects facing Logia type Devil Fruit users.
'System, proceed with a lowest-tier draw.'
[Ding! Initiating draw…]
As the prompt sounded in Arton's mind, a draw panel appeared directly in front of him.
[Draw complete, congratulations to the host for obtaining the "Yae Miko Template (Basic Version)"]
"Huh? I can actually draw a template?"
"And it's Yae Miko's template?!"
Arton raised an eyebrow, expressing his disbelief.
Yae Miko, a popular character from the game Genshin Impact, is the head shrine maiden of the Grand Narukami Shrine and a descendant of the Kitsune lineage.
As a familiar of the Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko's strength is naturally very powerful.
If Arton were to assess, Yae Miko's power would be much stronger than Tsugikuni Yoriichi's.
"But it's just the basic version?"
"It must be quite different from the complete templates I've received."
Arton raised an eyebrow, focusing his attention on the newly acquired character template.
Before long, Arton understood the difference between the basic version and the complete version of the character template.
With the complete version of a character template, the person obtaining it can inherit all of the character's powers, including their weapon.
Even a weak individual could become instantly stronger by obtaining a character template.
However, the basic version of a character template only allows the user to acquire skills and doesn't instantly grant them great power.
How much experience and skills can be obtained depends on the user's own strength.
If the person is strong enough, they might be able to master all the powers and skills of the character template instantly upon obtaining the basic version.
"However, even though I can't gain all of Yae Miko's powers,"
"I can still inherit Yae Miko's lineage and talents."
"Having such lineage and talents, the person using the template will greatly benefit in their future training."
"However, I can't use this template!"
"Was this draw in vain?"
Arton looked at the usage conditions for the Yae Miko character template and grimaced severely.
[Note: To use the "Yae Miko Template (Basic Version)", the user must possess at least three of the following attributes: "Female", "Fox", "Pink", "Shrine Maiden", "Wisdom", "Charm", "Thunder".]
[The host's current personal attributes do not meet the potential to use the "Yae Miko Template (Basic Version)".]
[Suggestion: You may bestow this template upon another person.]
'To give away the reward I drew to someone else?'
'What if they run away after getting the reward, wouldn't I end up with nothing?'
As Arton thought this, he couldn't help but feel frustrated internally.
It was as if the system had heard Arton's thoughts.
Soon, new text appeared on the system panel in front of Arton.
[If the person bestowed with the template sincerely accepts it, after accepting the template, they will not be able to betray the host.]
[If they insist on betrayal, they will lose the template and the powers gained through it.]
[Moreover, as the owner of the system, the host will be able to use the template through them.]
"There's such a good deal!"
Arton's eyes widened slightly as he read the explanation more carefully.
"So, it seems that in the system's view, the person who receives the template becomes my partner."
"And the way I use my partners' templates is by merging with them."
"Moreover, after merging, I can even forcibly use some powerful skills through the system's authority."
"Only, after using it, the merged state might be instantly undone."
"And my stamina, as well as the stamina of the person I merged with, might be depleted as well."
