In a room with a window, slight sunlight was coming and reflecting on me lying on my bed. It was the next day after the ceremony, when we came out of the church, Rito and his father weren't there. We waited for Kaya to come out but she never came out. Since, it was getting really late, we decided to go home by ourselves. So, we had to rent a cart alone, that day was a real letdown, not receiving a good skill, had to spend a lot of money and time. I thought my father would scold me but he didn't because he knew that people like us are destined to keep living like that even if he was expecting me to. Although Rito would be living an easy life from now on as he got a real broken skill.
I slept as soon as we came home, dad told mom about what happened, and that brings us to the current state of mine crying on my bed in the very morning.
"Let's see what's going on with Rito" I said as I stood up from my bed while stretching
Then I went to Rito's house to talk with him about the yesterday. His home wasn't very far away from mine and had a similar structure. I knocked on his door, but there wasn't any response. I kept on knocking until a nearby old man noticed me.
"Oh, if it isn't the son of Itoshi"
"Yes, I am Itoshi Peiji, Good Morning gran Toro" I replied to the old man
"If you are looking for your friend Rito, he has already moved out to Alastar"
"What, but when"
"Yesterday, as soon as they returned, they left hurriedly after packing their things"
"I see, thanks for informing me"
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later, if he is going to be studying in Ult, the academy for students with talent, he would have to live in Alastar from now on as Ult is also in Alastar. A good thing about Ult is that it is the greatest academy in not only the kingdom but in the whole empire. Even students from other kingdoms come to study in Ult but still it doesn't discriminate students on the basis of class and background. The only thing Ult cares about is talent.
Next, I decided to visit Kaya because I was worried about her as she never came out of the church. The same thing happened, she has also already left for Alastar. I was sad yet happy for them because that means she is alright and now both of my friends can study in Ult. Kaya must have also gotten a broken skill.
[So, I was the only one who got left, huh] I thought
I returned home and told dad about it who was working in the fields. He was also really happy for them but I knew that deep down he is also kind of jealous and irritated right now. After having a usual breakfast and a regular self-training session, I just went to my room and sat on my bed. I started staring at that black brick which is supposed to be my skill.
The priestess Maria told me to charge it if I want to use it but she never told me how I can do that. What does even charging supposed to mean. But if I do manage to charge it, and it turns out to be a new kind of weapon, a really strong one, that would just change everything, right. Maybe, even I can go to Ult along with Rito and Kaya. Dad would be so proud of me.
First of all, calling it a black brick, doesn't sound so good, since it's shiny like a mirror. Let's give it a cool name. From now on, I will call it Phoenix, the beautiful undying bird from the fantasy stories. I examined the phoenix thoroughly. There was a a little bump on it, when I pushed, it went in and came up again like a button, suddenly some words appeared on the shiny part
{0% battery, please start the charging}
So, by charging, it means we have to increase this battery thing from 0 to 100 as it is a percentage. well, not much but we had made some progress. Then, I continued searching, I found a little hole below the shiny part.
[Maybe I have to put something in to increase the battery] I thought
But what should I put in a hole so small. I started with water, but nothing happened. It must be something that belongs to me since it's my skill. Then I tried putting my hair in it, still no results. Maybe it should be more fluid like water. I spit inside it so that my saliva can go inside, this was really weird to do but didn't worth the effort as nothing happened. It won't be so easy like hair or saliva, should I try my blood. I had no other choice, I brought a knife from the kitchen, made a small cut on my finger and dropped it inside the hole.
{23% battery, START}
Finally, finally I charged it. As soon as I saw the START written on it in big letters, I pressed it.
{Thanks for starting me master Itoshi Peiji, I am a gacha system, you can roll the gacha every time you save a life and receives "Thank You" as a reward. First pull is free, would you like roll now}
Whoa whoa, wait, so many things at the same time, now what the hell does gacha mean, another new word I have to find a meaning of on my own. Well ,whatever it is I can earn it by saving lives, that's a unique mechanism. First time is free right, I like free things, then what are we waiting for let's do it.
"Roll it"
Hm, nothing happened, seems like it can't hear me. I have to press YES.
{Congratulations! to the master for his first pull, you receive a high elf card}
{You can use the card right now or save it in the storage}
Suddenly, a light started coming out of my hands just like when they did on ceremony, and a card appeared out of nowhere on my hand. The card had a beautiful shiny red color on the borders and on the back side with a heart made on it. On the front side of it, there was a silhouette of what appears to be a girl with a curvy figure and long hairs. Under it, High elf was written. Why stop after coming this far, we should keep making progress, I didn't understand much but I still press USE IT NOW instead of LATER.
The card dispersed into thin air and a magic circle of a very dark pink formed on the ground. What happened next, was something I never expected. A beautiful girl appeared on the magic circle, so much that she was the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life, even more than Kaya who was a dream girl of most guys in village. She had long blonde hairs, she was completely naked so i could see her whole body. Her breast was so big like 2 mounds, with pink nipples. This was the first time I saw a naked woman and a vagina. My penis got so hard like it would burst through my pants. Her figure was so curvy yet slender like it was specially refined by the god. She was kneeling so I could only glance at that pink vagina. Ah wait, I should stop looking or would scream and slap me.
"This slave greet her lord"
"May I know your name master-sama" She said
"Ye-yes, I am Itoshi Peiji, nice to meet you"
Wait, wait, wait, what the hell is going on, she is calling me her master, me a loser guy with below average looks. She is so beautiful that all three big emperors will go to a war just to get her.
"Um, what do you mean by master"
"Of course, master is master, and I belong to him"
"I will do anything master commands me to do"
I understand now, this is the skill I have, to summon people, but again, just how am I going to be stronger with that you damn phoenix?
