Lucas Nightshade stepped into the small village, his eyes scanning his surroundings. Simple stone houses and wooden huts lined up neatly, with thatched roofs and small windows made of frosted glass.Some villagers were busy with their daily activities: an old woman hung clothes on a clothesline, a young man drew water from a well, and a group of children played happily in the middle of the road. This peaceful atmosphere gave Lucas a little relief, even though he knew very well that behind this tranquility there could be danger.As he walked further into the village, some of the villagers began to notice him. It was only natural, he thought. The adventurer's clothes he wore, although simple, looked different from the everyday clothes of the villagers. Besides that, Lucas' curious gaze made him look like someone who had set foot here for the first time, which was indeed the case.An old man with a cane stood near a small stall. He looked at Lucas with a curious gaze."Hey, kid! You don't seem to be from around here," the old man greeted in a hoarse voice.Lucas smiled slightly and nodded."That's right, old man. I'm a... new adventurer. Just arrived in this village."The old man nodded understandingly, then his smile became warmer."Welcome to Veiron Village. We rarely see adventurers here, but we're always happy to welcome them." The old man pointed to a large wooden board standing in front of his stall."If you're looking for work or help, that notice board usually has quests you can take."Lucas looked at the notice board. There were several papers posted there, mostly containing simple requests, looking for food, cleaning wells, or driving away some small monsters around the village. However, one paper caught his attention."Ding".[ Quest: Return the Lost Sheep ]Description: My sheep have gone missing in the forest around the village. Please find them and bring them back to the pen. I would greatly appreciate your help!Reward: 50 Gacha Points + 10 Silver CoinsSigned: Mr. Thomar, Sheep HerderLucas raised his eyebrows. "Alright, this seems like an easy quest for a beginner," he said with a small smile."I can collect gacha points and maybe try it later."He took off the quest paper and tucked it into his pocket. After thanking the old man, he started walking towards the edge of the village, towards the forest where the sheep were supposed to be.The forest on the edge of Veiron Village was not too dense, but large enough to get someone lost if they were not careful. Lucas walked slowly along the path, listening to the sounds of nature around him. Birds chirped in the branches, the wind whispered softly through the leaves, and in the distance, he heard the sound of a small stream gurgling. However, there was no sign of the lost sheep."This shouldn't be too difficult," he thought. "Just looking for a few sheep... not fighting dragons."He stepped further into the forest, his eyes searching constantly. After a few minutes, he heard a faint bleating sound from the bushes."Ah, there it is!" exclaimed Lucas.He hurried towards the sound and found a sheep trapped behind some branches."Hey, little friend, let's get you out of there," he said as he carefully moved the branches.The sheep bleated once more before crawling out and standing beside Lucas."Alright, one sheep down," he said, stroking the sheep's head. "Now, let's find the others."Some time later, after searching further into the forest, Lucas managed to find two more sheep, one trapped between rocks, and the other trying to eat a thorny bush. He freed the sheep one by one from their difficulties, and although it was an easy task, he felt relieved because this was the first quest he had managed to complete in this new world.As he led the three sheep back to the village, a notification appeared in front of him,"Ding".[Quest Completed: Return the Lost Sheep!]Reward: 50 Gacha Points + 10 Silver Coins received!Lucas smiled broadly. "Great! First gacha point."He waited until he reached the village before opening the system window and checking the Gacha menu. When he arrived at the village gate, he opened the menu, and a transparent window appeared in front of him.| Gacha || Gacha Points: 50 || 1. Gacha Skill (50 Points) || 2. Gacha Item (50 Points) || 3. Gacha Stats (50 Points) |Lucas stroked his chin, thinking for a moment. "Okay, maybe I should try getting a skill first. A new skill could be very useful, especially if I'm going to keep adventuring."He focused his mind on the Gacha Skill, and soon a large gacha wheel appeared, spinning rapidly in front of his eyes. Colorful lights flashed, and it sounded like a slot machine in a casino. Lucas' heart raced faster as the wheel began to slow down. There were various tiers that appeared in front of his eyes, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS+.Finally, the wheel stopped at Tier B.Lucas held his breath, and a new window appeared with a soft click."Ding".Congratulations! You have obtained a New Skill: "Blazing Slash (Tier B)"Description: A fiery sword attack that burns enemies within close range. Cost: 10 MP per use.Lucas jumped for joy. "Blazing Slash? That sounds cool!"He felt like he had just won the lottery."Tier B skill on the first try? This is incredible luck!"He had already imagined how he could use that skill in battle, especially if he had to face monsters in the future."I guess I'm lucky this time," he said excitedly. "If this is the case, maybe this world won't be as bad as I thought."Lucas closed the system window and continued walking towards the village, feeling more confident.Upon arriving at the village, Lucas met Mr. Thomar, the sheep herder. The old man was very happy to see his sheep returned and gave him ten silver coins as part of his reward."Thank you very much, young man," said Thomar with a wide smile. "Not many adventurers are willing to take on simple quests like this.""Oh, it's no problem," replied Lucas, pocketing the silver coins."It was actually quite fun."As he walked back to the center of the village, Lucas pondered his future in this world. He had a new skill, a little money, and endless possibilities with his gacha system."Maybe, just maybe," he thought, "this adventure could be more than just a game."With renewed enthusiasm, Lucas continued his adventure in the world of Elyndor, ready to face the next challenge, whether it was a monster, a mystery, or perhaps more lost sheep.
