Volume 1 - CH 21

April 30th, night. I pondered to myself while in the bed in my room. The number of points I’d amassed up till this point was 15000. That’s enough for thirty-three gacha rolls.

This was the result of hunting all the monsters I’d confirmed up till now. My status went up thanks to that, but right now it’s a lot more important to consider if I should roll the gacha. It was a huge worry of mine. If I’ll be getting a new gacha starting tomorrow, then I’d like to roll it then. I’d also like to get my cultivation skill to max level, but that would still be leaving it to chance.

I might end up not pulling the remaining skill like before. Thinking like that, it might be best to keep the points for now.

However I was still scared for tomorrow. I have to consider the possibility that I will lose the gacha, and never be able to roll it again. Rather, I think that possibility might be more likely.

How many skills have I collected this month? Normally god only grants one, two, maybe as many as three skills. Right now I have a total of 29 skills.

Ah, actually if I count my gacha skill then it would be 30. If I were to count all the overlapping skills I’ve gotten, then the total would be closer to 100.

It’s a number of skills a normal person wouldn’t be able to dream of getting. They’re all useful skills as well. Wouldn’t that be a bit too selfish to expect another gacha on top of all of that?

Of course I really want to have the gacha. The gacha is the only fun thing for me here alone in the lower world. Right, it’s my sole joy.

That’s why I put in all the effort to gather points. Every time, I’ve been driven by my desire to roll the gacha. Wouldn’t it be fine to roll the gacha just one more time with the points I’ve got? I thought.

Yeah, as expected I ended up thinking that I want to roll the gacha. I think this might have become an addiction of mine. I’ve heard about drug dependency before, and I feel like this is something similar.

Gacha has already become a part of my life. Me and the gacha are inseparable.

…Well I guess I’ll just go ahead and roll the eleven roll gacha for now. To celebrate. A celebration to me for surviving all of April.

Having come up with a suitable justification, I accepted my feelings of wanting to roll the gacha. I’ll roll the gacha. I pressed the eleven roll gacha with my finger.

Then a chest appeared and was shining a rainbow colour. Or rather I guess I should say it shone. …I’m begging you, please give me cultivation. I don’t need doctor or appraisal anymore! I don’t want any more duplicates! Should I not have rolled after all? That thought went through my head for a moment.

The number of orbs that appeared were three bronze, three silver, three gold, and two rainbow. The chance of having cultivation in there was quite high.

Please, oh please! I started with bronze.

Well, this part was like usual. I could look at this part calmly. But, what’s coming up next is very important.

Silver…. I don’t care what you are, just please don’t be spear technique or dagger technique! Come on, new skill!

Ah, there it is. I really have no use for dagger technique. The only thing I use a knife for is dismantling. I was also pretty happy with hand to hand fighting technique at first. I thought I would use it a lot. Right now thought I’m not using it at all. I don’t think it would be wrong to call it totally useless.

I was happy with smithing technique though. I was wanting a new sword recently anyway. I can get by with the cow fang sword against the monsters I’ve been fighting lately since I’ve gotten more used to fighting, so I haven’t made a new sword yet. I’ll call this round a draw. Hopefully the next gacha is good.

Next up were the three gold orbs.

Guess there’s no new magic this time. The magic I already have will get stronger with this though. I’ll hopefully be able to actually use it in real combat.

I’ll have to check out how I can use my new magic in battle later. Finally, we have the problematic rainbow orbs. I appraised the rainbow skills.

The first one… appraisal! Ah crap, a duplicate! My leftover skills are multiplying. I put my hands together in prayer as I checked the final result.

The second one is… cultivation! I got cultivation! I’ve maxed out another skill! Thank you God!

I raised my skill levels as I celebrated. I checked my basic status.

Overall, everything went up about 10 points since I last checked, and magic went up by about 20. As I thought, my magic is really growing a lot. It’s a fundamental skill for both combat and my daily life.

Next I checked my skills.

The basic status enhancement skills that look like they’ve leveled up have increased. Since my basic stats have gone up quite a bit the percentage that they strengthen has also grown.

Of course what I was most happy with this time was cultivation. With that, I’ve completed the April doctor gacha. Of course I don’t plan on rolling the gacha any more than this.

I’m still worried about whether or not I’ll have a new gacha next month, but I don’t need to force myself to roll any more. I might regret it if I don’t get a new gacha, but I would regret it more if I did get a new gacha.

That’s why I don’t think I was making the wrong choice here. …Will there be a new gacha? I’ll know that the next time I wake up.

…Will it change when the date rolls over? If that’s the case, then isn’t there only about three hours until then?

N, now I’m kind of nervous about whether I should go to bed or not. Should I stay up late for the update? …But I have work to do tomorrow…
