Chapter 2
Ten Draws at the Start, An Old Spirit Sword Foundation

“This guy is finally dead.”

The Moon Spirit Essence, which had just delivered such a fierce blow, quickly transformed back into its previous irregular liquid form.

It seemed to be lacking magical support.

These mercury-like liquids spun in the air for a moment before coalescing into a black and red, ornate card that landed softly in Ye Ran's palm.

【Congratulations, Host. You have completed the Newbie Mission. Reward: 1 Amulet, 3 Saint Crystal Shards.】

【Detected the presence of the evil entity “Demonic Spider”’s leftover taint – "Spider Venom Sac". Do you wish to store it in your 【Personal Space】?】

“Store.”

Ye Ran was startled. Only then did he notice that the dead Demonic Spider had left behind a milky white venom sac bag in its place.

A bright white light enveloped it.

In an instant, it vanished from sight.

“Ye Jun, what exactly is going on?!”

霞之丘诗羽, still shaken, flung herself into the young man's arms, her voice trembling slightly.

As an ordinary girl who lived in a peaceful society, she had been truly frightened by what she had just experienced.

“Let's get out of here first, I'll explain later.”

Ye Ran wasn't much better off than 霞之丘诗羽.

But he was a reincarnation, so he quickly regained his composure, and supporting the girl with the long black hair, he quickly left the alleyway.

......

.........

Half an hour later.

The two arrived at 霞之丘诗羽's home together.

It was the weekend, and the girl's parents had already gone out early in the morning, and would not be back until tomorrow night.

霞之丘诗羽 was genuinely scared, and she had been caught in the rain. As soon as she entered the house, she rushed to the bathroom to wash up.

Ye Ran had also been covered in mud in the alleyway.

With his girlfriend's consent, he took off his dirty clothes and threw them all into the washing machine to be cleaned.

He then took a comfortable hot shower in her parents' bathroom.

He came to her bedroom, wearing his girlfriend's father's clothes.

霞之丘诗羽's bedroom was not very big.

It was decorated in a minimalist style, with a warm overall color scheme.

On the white computer desk lay her red notebook, which never left her side.

In the corner was a small bed that exuded a faint, fragrant aroma.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Ran would probably have fantasized about his beautiful girlfriend doing certain things on that little bed every day.

But after all the strange things that had happened today, he was in no mood for anything like that.

He took a dry towel to wipe his wet hair.

The young man opened the personal panel, which he hadn't had time to examine carefully.

【Current System Template- FGO Gacha System 1.0 Version】

【Initial version has been fully loaded. New functions will be added in subsequent version updates. Please stay tuned.】

【Host: Ye Ran】

【Age: 17】

【Initial startup. Detailed information.... loading】

In the lower right corner of his retina, a small animal was running non-stop.

This young beast, named “Fufuu”, ran for quite a while before finally finishing loading the rest of the information.

【Master Data】

【Personal Space】

【Servant Summoning】

【Story Quests / Not Yet Opened】

..........

“This screen looks familiar.”

On the plain blue interface were four large icons.

It was clear what all the options on them were for.

“.........”

Ye Ran twitched his lips.

This well-known gacha game, which was all the rage in the world of anime, was something he had played too, of course.

Famous memes like “1000 Stones One SSR”, “Will Never Pull on the Guaranteed Banner”, “Even if I spend all my money on this gacha pool, I can’t get your wife” and so on, all came from this wicked game.

Ye Ran could still remember why he had quit this game.

Because the Chinese server's ArB Chen Uncle had repeatedly censored the game's artwork without warning, affecting his favorite Servant – Skaha, he had angrily quit the game.

Thinking back on those days, it was truly a sight to behold.

He clicked on the 【Master Data】 section. As the name implies, it was his personal information at the current time.

It was a simple line of text, without any breakdown of power, physique, and so on.

As for 【Servant Summoning】, there's no need to explain. As the biggest selling point of FGO, players could summon Servants and Craft Essences from the Gacha Pool.

In the game, there were two Gacha Pools. One was the Story Pool, which required spending in-game currency to summon.

The other was the Friendship Pool, which used Friendship Points to summon.

The former could summon rare Craft Essences and Servants.

If you were lucky enough, you could get one with just one pull.

The latter, however, was a symbolic consolation prize provided by the official game.

In Ye Ran's system, there was no Friendship Pool, only the Story Pool.

However, he had no stones to spend right now.

He could only watch the summoning screen with longing eyes.

He sighed, about to close his personal panel, but he inadvertently noticed that the 【Personal Space】 option was glowing.

“This is.......?!”

Ye Ran’s eyes lit up.

He quickly clicked on the 【Personal Space】 interface.

It was similar to the warehouse interface in the game. In the neatly arranged grid were two gift boxes containing items.

【System Update Maintenance Compensation】

【Newbie Ten-Pull Items Sent】

“Good stuff!!”

It was an unexpected bonus.

Including the amulet he had obtained from killing the Demonic Spider, he now had 11 pulls!

He clicked on the Story Gacha Pool.

Let’s do a ten-pull first.
