Gacha Sovereign
chapter-159

Himura Takata holds a small party. The participants are only he, his wife, Kenshin, and Conn Kindellan. He invited Alex, but he rejected it and went back to his room.

The reason Alex rejected him, because...

[Mission #1: First Place in Tournament and become a disciple of one of the four sects. (Completed)

Reward: Premium Ticket x5]

Finally, he got another ticket. He immediately used it.

[Summon Ticket x5 (SR) Acquired]

[Grandmaster Monster's blood (SR) Acquired]

[Lizard Blood (UC) Acquired]

[Full Throttle (UR) - Active Skill]

[Rank 4 Recovery Pill (SR) Acquired]

Alex's jaw dropped to the ground when he looked at the gacha rewards this time. 3 SR and 1 UR, this is insane. This is the luckiest day of his life. "System, pinch me. This is not a dream, right?"

[How can I pinch you, Host? But, yeah. This is not a dream]

"Ignoring the Lizard Blood, it was the best five draws I've ever get."

[Host, the blood is from a Lizard that can become a dragon]

"What? Is that true?"

[Yes]

"Then, how can it be a UC? if the Lizard itself can evolve to a dragon."

[This is its blood, the Lizard can evolve, but the blood can't. Remember, the blood is in the bottle, not in the Lizard Body]

"..." Alex almost forget this feeling. He hasn't cursed the system for a long time. And now he feels that he might need to throw another curse.

"System..."

[Yes?]

"F*ck you!" Alex cursed, he wanted to point out his middle finger, but he is thinking as to where he should point his middle finger? The system didn't have any physical body and currently reside in his mind. Should he point out his middle finger toward his mind, isn't it the same as cursing himself too?

[Love you too, Host]

After he calms down, he checked the other things, He will keep the Summon Ticket first, rather than using it one by one, he will spend it together in 'Draw x10+1'. He also stored the Monster blood in the inventory. The last two are Rank 4 Recovery Pill and Full Throttle.

[Rank 4 Recovery Pill

Use: Fully recover the energy for Martial Grandmaster or below. Recover 20% of energy for Martial Lord]

"Hmm... I am only a puny 1-Star Martial Master, so this kind of pill is a kind of second life for me. I will keep this as my last resort. As for the Full Throttle" Alex looked at the scroll with 'Full Throttle' written on it. He opened half of it and saw a game like description.

[Full Throttle (Active)

Desc: Exceed the limits of the body by sacrificing your own vitality to strengthen yourself for a short time. Fully recovered energy when cast and increase strength by 20% for 5 minutes.

After the skill duration ends, you will become horribly exhausted after the skill's duration. Decrease strength by 50% for three hours.

Limit: 1/day]

Alex was deep in thought, the skill is very useful, and he knows why this skill is a UR item. But, there is something that is bugging him, "System, why do I feel you are changing to an RPG System?"

[No! System won't change, System will always be your Gacha System, I won't be the same as the 'System' in your memories Host. Gacha will dominate all of those function, and I ensure you Host, Gacha is all you need]

"Hmm...To be honest, I don't mind you become an RPG System, I can level up and grow my strength quicker." Alex said.

[I won't be an RPG System. Try to open the rest of the scroll.]

Alex opened the rest of the scroll. In there is an instruction on how to use the 'Full Throttle'

[Hehe, Look Host. This is the difference between me and the 'RPG System'. You need to train according to the instruction if you want to exceed your body limit. There is no instant path, Host. It is not a 'Skill' in the 'RPG System', but this is a kind of Body Arts, just like your Sword Art, you need to practice first before you can use it] The System seems very proud on it

Alex rolled his eyes. "Can I change you to an RPG System?"

[Eh, why?]

"Why do you ask? It's obvious that you are more useless than them."

[It's them, I'm the superior Gacha System]

"*&^%^$#" It's been a long time that he didn't become like this.

Meanwhile, far away, there is a goddess that is currently holding her stomach while laughing. "Hahaha, It's been a long time I didn't tease you."

Not long after, she stopped her laughing, and she looked at the sky in reminiscence. She really missed the day when she was with him. This teasing is to fill her loneliness for a while. "Just a bit longer before I can meet him again."

...

The next morning, Kenshin called him from the outside.

"Alex, we will be going in a few minutes."

"All right. I'm going out now" Alex opened the door. "Is that Hikotaka guy has arrived?"

"Yes, only you left." Kenshin said.

"Let's go" Alex nodded. They went outside the Himura House, they saw Elder Conn and Nakagawa Hikotaka has been waiting for them.

"Elder Conn" Both of them greet him.

"Is there anything you need before we fly toward the sect?"

"Hmm..." Alex pondered for a moment, he rechecked all the things he had and shook his head. "I'm good. I'm in your care Elder Conn."

"Good. Let's go." Elder Conn waved his hand, all of them started floating in the air. Alex expected something like 'Flying Sword' but his expectation was betrayed. There is no Flying Sword or Flying Ship, it was only Elder Conn controlling his energy to carry them and block the wind pressure from their speed. Such a disappointment, Alex thought. But Kenshin and Hikotaka were mesmerized by the speed, and they eagerly tried to observe their surroundings.

What impressed Alex is Elder Conn'speed, not the surroundings. They are currently flying at breakneck speed. If Alex wasn't carried by him like this, he might not be able to see him even if he flying in front of him.

They didn't have anything to do while flying, so Alex continues his cultivation. When Kenshin and Hikotaka saw Alex cultivating, they calmed down and followed suit. Elder Conn noticed the trio started cultivating, he smiled a bit while continue flying toward the sect.

After three days of flying, they finally arrived at the sect perimeter. A big town was on the edge of the sect. It seems that the town was for trading or if you need any servants in the sect to help their daily needs. They can hire them from the town. Alex observed the town size, it was around ten times bigger than the Capital City of Acacia Kingdom.

In the city, there is a big gate with 'Heavenly Sword Sect' written on it. It seems that it is the sect entrance. Behind the gate, he saw a big field, forest, and a few mountain peaks very far away, along with the building as far as he can see. The Heavenly Sword Sect is very fast, he can't even see the edge from the sky.

Noticing Alex's observing gaze, Conn explained it slightly. "This forest surrounded the whole sect, it is the place for Outer Disciple and Inner Disciple. If you take a close look at a few mansions in the Mountains foot, they are for Inner Disciple. The closer you are to the mountain peaks, the denser the Spiritual Energy is.

The mansion on the body of the mountains is for Core Disciples while the summit is for an Elder dwelling. There are twenty mountain peaks...well, it was tiring to remember their name. So they were named with First to Twentieth Mountain Peak. It will also symbolize the name of the Elder. I'm in the seventh Mountain Peak, so I'm the seventh Elder.

Twenty mountain surrounding a small island in the center of it, it is the dwelling of Palace Master. You can experience it as you get stronger. Don't worry about it for the time being."

After they entered the town called Heavenly Sword Town, Elder Conn led them to an inn. He reserved three rooms for them each. "You three will need to wait for a week. The recruitment process will be held in a week from now. So, you can walk around the town first. I will be returning to the sect."

"What is this recruitment process? Aren't we have become Heavenly Sword Sect disciple?" Hikotaka asked. His confusion is true, Alex and Kenshin also didn't know anything about this. After all, isn't Elder Conn have recruited them?

"Of course, you three are already our Heavenly Sword Sect disciples. This recruitment process is to measure your talent. And..." he paused.

"And..." The trio gulped down. They waited for him to say the continuation.

"A secret for the time being. You will know about it later."

"Then, what will we do in the recruitment process?" Alex asked.

"The details are a bit hard to explain. Actually, this is a separate recruitment test that the Heavenly Sword Sect holds alone. The requirement is almost the same as the tournament, and the condition is you need to be a Martial Master, and your age can't be higher than 23 years old." Conn took out three tokens and gave it to them one by one. "With this token, you won't need to line up to register, you just need to show these tokens and report your name. The test will start in the morning, so don't be late."

"Then, can you explain the details in Heavenly Sword Sect?" Alex asked again. Information is necessary.

"The details huh... There are three types of disciples, Outer Disciple, Inner Disciple, and Core Disciple as the highest. All of you will be outer disciples unless you have something special that can have an elder to make an exception and make you an Inner Disciple. If an Outer Disciple wants to become an Inner Disciple, the requirement is they were under 35 years old and at least 1-Star Martial Grandmaster. The same applies to Core Disciple, you need to be at least 1-Star Martial Lord, and under 50 years old.

If you are an Alchemist or Forging Master, There is Alchemist Guild and Forging Master Guild. And we have a famous battle simulation room."

"Battle simulation room?" Alex frowned.

"Yeah. Well, it is a reality type of Illusion Array. We replicate the monsters using their own monster core. You can also absorb their energy and make your cultivation progress faster. You have one chance, as long as you didn't die, you can continue as long as you want. As for how to enter, it will be better if the one in charge explained it to you later." Conn said. "Well, that's all, it's better if you experienced it yourself."

After he said that, he disappeared. It seems that he went back to the sect. Alex looked at Kenshin and Hikotaka.

"What are we going to do now?" Alex asked.

"I'm going to look around" Kenshin said

"Hmph! I will look for my cousin. You are lucky that you can defeat my sister and me. But my cousin is different, and he is an inner disciple. If you become my underlings, I don't mind introducing you to my cousin" Hikotaka said arrogantly.

Alex and Kenshin only rolled their eyes before they nodded to each other and walked away.

"Let's go" Alex said to Kenshin while ignoring Hikotaka.

"Yeah" Kenshin nodded.

"You! you two dare to ignore me, I will make you both regret!" Hikotaka still holds his pride as a Young Master from Nakagawa Family.

...

Alex and Kenshin decided to stroll around the town separately. For Alex, the first place he wants to go to is the Alchemist Guild. He wants to buy the medicinal ingredients for Fire Spirit Pill. Sherry ate all of his Fire Spirit Pills in Limewatch Town. So he needs to make more, and he needs to raise some funds. He went inside the Alchemist Guild.

A young woman comes to him, "Sir, is this your first time here? how can we help you?"

"Yeah, this is my first in here. I want to buy some medicinal ingredients. Here is the list" Alex handed her a list of medicinal ingredients.

"Fire Spirit Pill is it..." Since she is working here, she also very experienced in ingredients. Even if she can't make the actual pill, recognizing a pill recipe is easier. So when Alex gave her the list, she immediately knows what pill he wants.

Alex nodded.

"How many sets do you want? one set is fifty Spirit Stones."

'So expensive!' Alex thought.

"This is the normal price here. After all, we have a big sect near us after all."
