Chapter 13: June Payday, Part 1
It happened all at once. As usual, I’d been checking the empty lot’s Gacha every so often, but suddenly there was a notice posted on the June end-of-month Gacha.
＜Thank you for your continued support. The Gacha will be discontinued as of June 30th, PM 12:00＞
............ I’d known it was limited-time, so I’d expected it to end eventually. But actually hearing it was stopping? That hit harder than I thought.
But I’d already been planning for this moment. Debt. I’d been avoiding it forever—now that it’s here, no time to hesitate!!
I jumped straight into the debt process. I chose a consumer finance company that let me borrow fast. Interest’s high? Doesn’t matter right now!
I took out loans from two companies—500k each, total 1 million! It was already the last day of the month, so I combined it with my final paycheck—totaling 1.14 million, pulled all at once.
I figured it’d take time, so I took vacation days from work and stayed home.
June 30th—the day this Gacha would end for me, forever. I was already at the empty lot by morning......
Ten months... every month I’d pulled this Gacha... thinking it’d be the last time? That hit deep.
First, I pulled the 14 times that matched my paycheck. What came out?—
Fire Magic (I) R
Dark Magic (I) R
Summoning Magic (I) R
Magic Affinity (I) R
Spatial Perception (I) R
Muscle Enhancement (I) R
Mimic (I) SR
Calculation Acceleration (I) SR
Blessing (I) SR
Precision Correction (I) R
Career Board – Explorer R
Career Board – Sage SSR
Career Board – Monster Tamer R
Career Board – Monk R
A Career Board with SSR “Sage”! And “Blessing,” which boosts luck—really grateful for that.
I chow down on the blessing ame right away, then go for the 100-pull Gacha!
But even after pulling eighty times, not much good’s come up. I just want an SSR with a Unique Skill… and then, right at the 88th pull—my eyes snapped open!!
Divine Blessing SSR
Multiply luck by a hundred times.
"Aaaahhh!" I screamed. That SSR's unique skill I’d been dying for...
"I wanted this sooner!" Only twelve tries left now.
If I’d gotten something decent early on in the hundred-roll Gacha... well, I can’t even describe the feeling. But I shook it off, ate the "Divine Blessing," and pulled the Gacha twelve times.
Only one SSR came out.
All Status Effect Resistance SSR
For every state that happens to the body
Gain resistance.
This status effect includes things like illness and such.
Yeah, the effect of "Goddess's Blessing" is huge... If only I'd shown up sooner...
The 100 things that came out were like this.
