(First POV)
I woke up not knowing what happened. My head felt heavy, like I'd been out for hours, but when I glanced at the clock, only 15 minutes had passed.
I blinked a few times, trying to think. The room was dark, the only light coming from my monitor, which now displayed a simple glowing message:
>[System successfully initialized.]<
"What the hell just happened?" I muttered, sitting up in my chair. My heart was racing, but my curiosity was stronger than my fear.
The screen changed again, showing a new prompt:
>[Would you like a tutorial? Yes / No]<
I already danced with the devil might as well see what we got. I clicked Yes.
The screen dimmed momentarily before a soft, robotic voice echoed from my speakers.
>["Welcome, Mason Berry. You have been granted access to the System. Here, your potential will be unlocked, and your path defined. Let us begin."]<
Well this is interesting, it looks like someone created the system for a reason but what is the reason?. When I stopped thinking I noticed that the system was now in the screen

Holy shit. I just got a gacha system. Look there is even a store . Now this is could be a amazing opportunity however we must remember we just got it and need to-
"Number 7,Pull a ticket" I said it without thinking
… nothing happened.
"Well, that was anticlimactic. I guess this system doesn't come with an AI. I mean every story has an AI…Such a bummer."
I sat back in my chair, feeling like a dumbass. Of course, it wasn't going to respond to my voice—it wasn't that kind of system. I glanced at the screen again and realized that to interact with it, I'd probably need to use my mouse.
"Wow," I muttered, shaking my head. "I'm so dumb."
With a deep breath, I moved the cursor over to the glowing number 6. I wasn't sure what to expect, but if this system was going to offer me something, I needed to figure out how it worked. Maybe there were odds to calculate or some kind of mechanic tied to these "tickets."
"Well, here goes nothing," I said, clicking on the number.

From this page alone, many of the questions I had about the system started to make sense. The Shop required something called gacha points, and there were specific ways to earn this currency—which, of course, meant grinding. God, I hate grinding.
The system had tickets, Events, and something called world tickets. As soon as I read about those, my inner gaming, fanfic-loving nerd self went into overdrive. A world ticket? If I got one of those, it meant I could travel to other worlds. Any world. The possibilities were endless.
I could feel my pulse quicken as I started piecing it all together. There were so many options to explore, so much to learn about this system. Sure, I could go through every menu and break down all the mechanics. I should do that. But I couldn't deny the excitement bubbling up inside me.
The system had gifted me a starting set of tickets: 3 bronze, 1 silver, and 1 gold. A free freebie to get me hooked. And let's be real—my body was practically like a crack addict and I was itching to start pulling. Probably not a good reaction...It's not a good reaction. I decided to click on 4.
>[How Do I Earn Gacha Points (GP)?
Gacha Points (GP) are the system's primary currency, used to purchase items, tickets, and unlock features in the shop. Here's how you can earn them:
Ways to Earn GP.
Pulling Tickets: Each ticket pull rewards a small amount of GP, depending on the ticket type:
Bronze Ticket: +1 GP
Silver Ticket: +2 GP
Gold Ticket: +5 GP
Platinum Ticket: +10 GP
World Ticket: +15 GP2.
Completing Missions:
Daily Missions: Rewards: 1–3 GP per completed mission.
Example Task: "Use a ticket today to earn 2 GP."
Weekly Missions:
Rewards: 10–20 GP.
Example Task: "Pull 5 Rare or higher items this week."
Event Missions: Rewards: 50–100 GP (depending on difficulty).
Example Task: "Participate in an Event Gacha Draw 3 times."3.
Converting Duplicate Items: Duplicate items can be automatically converted to GP:
Common Items: 1 GP
Uncommon Items: 3 GP
Rare Items: 10 GP
Epic Items: 25 GP
Legendary Items: 50 GP
Mystic Items: 100 GP
(This changed and now depends on the item…updated this after this chapter)
4. Pulling GP Directly: Rarely, GP can be pulled instead of an item.
GP Reward by Rarity Tier:
Common: 2–10GP
Uncommon: 20–40 GP
Rare: 60–100 GP
Epic: 140–200 GP
Legendary: 300–500 GP
Mystic: 600–1,000 GP
Key Summary: Pull tickets, complete missions, and convert duplicate items to earn GP. High-tier tickets and missions yield the most GP.GP can be used in the shop to buy tickets, items, or unlock features.

Earning Gacha Points didn't seem like it would be hard, but it was clear even to a dumbass like me that it was going to be incredibly time-consuming. The information I found laid it out plainly: there were plenty of ways to earn points, but the rewards were small, and opportunities to get a ton of points were pretty rare.
With that in mind, I decided to head back to the Help menu. Maybe Number 7 had something useful—something that could make earning tickets or points a little less painful.
"Alright," I muttered, navigating back to the menu. "Let's see what you've got, Number 7."
>[Help Topic: What Happens If I Don't Pull for a Week?
1. Ticket Stacking Unused Tickets: Daily login rewards (e.g., Bronze Tickets) will continue to stack There is no Maximum Tickets.
2. Catch-Up Bonuses: If you return after a week of inactivity, the system rewards you for re-engaging:
+1 Silver Ticket
+50 Gacha Points (GP)
3. Expired Content Temporary Tickets: If you had any Temporary World Tickets, they will expire on their set date, even if you're not active.
Missed Event Draws: Limited-time draws and missions will expire if you don't participate before they end.
Key Summary: Tickets do not stack Returning players receive bonuses like extra tickets, and GP, Temporary content (like World Tickets or Event Missions) may expire during inactivity.

Not logging in seemed like a smart idea—except when there was an event happening. Events could mean extra rewards or opportunities, and missing out on those would be a waste. But being AFK also meant I wouldn't be able to open packs during that time.
It was a trade-off. A frustrating one, but everything comes with a negative.
Either way let's start GAMBLING!!....Why do I feel itchy again?
