HOLY-
The sudden question, or knowing this guy, declaration would be more apt, shook me and caused me stumble for a few steps. I looked at the system incredulously, wondering if I needed to clear the earwax out of my ear.
No.NO.
There is absolutely no bloody way-
[Way.]
I gasped in mock horror. " What happened to the hardhearted, cruel guardian who wanted me to find my own way?"
[Look, do you want it or not?]
"Are you fucking kidding me? Of course I do!" I pranced around a bit around a smashed car, before remembering it wasn't very dignified.
To fuck with dignified. I just got a gacha. I serve to celebrate.
[What am I even going to do with you?] My savior sighed before just ignoring me. Simultaneously, several screens popped in front of me.
[You have not reached required level of authorisation!]
[ This feature is locked!]
I turned my head slowly to the guy, whom I could believe was throwing his hands up in despair. [ Hold up, let me try again. I swear, this isn't a joke.]
[You have not reached required level of authorisation!]
[ This feature is locked!]
The system notification repeated itself, but before I could comment further, the text started to blur. You know, kind of like you have cable TV and there's a thunderstorm raging outside, and the text starts to glitch. Kinda like that.
The text changed colour, changing as messages popped up everywhere, now in black and green rather than the regular white and blue. Weirdly enough for me to believe my friend was messing stuff up.
[ WARNING- ⚠️]
[AUTHORIZATION INCOMP-]
[NOT RECOMMENDED-]
[TOO WEAK-]
Suddenly, the screen went black. All of them. Then they started vanishing until there was just one screen left.
Luckily, this was one I could recognise. The traditional colour scheme was back, as if nothing had happened.
[ Wow, that was more of a hassle than I thought. You can bet I'm not doing that again.]
" I don't want to bet jack shit. First, what were those messages?"
[That's... classified.]
" Yeah, about that-" I had to bite my lip to not tell out that I call his bluff. Eventually, I managed.
Resident Evil clearly sensed my lack of awe. [Look, you can choose- answers or gacha. Your call.]
"I'm going to go gacha, because even if I pick answers, you're gonna go all godly on me and give me cryptic ahh answers that don't tell me jack shit."
[ Wow, you're really going crazy on that word huh?]
"What, ahh?"
[No, jack shit. Anyway,] The display in front of me changed.
[Unlocked new feature- Gacha System!]
[Congratulations, host! With the gacha system, you can use 100 gacha points per draw. Every draw gives you something random, an ability, object, or anything else.]
[ You can use these abilities alongside the Store!]
[ Note: If the gacha gives you something you can only have one of, the same object will be permanently out of stock in the Store.]
Oh.
Great.
But how do I get points? It'll be nice enough fix if I'm stuck. Sounds exactly like the sort of thing you'd do.
[ *Gasps* You disgust me, human! I would never fall to such infernal depths, which is more than what I can say for you!]
"Did you just say the word gasp out loud?" I rolled my eyes.
He froze, like a kid caught robbing the fridge in the middle of the night. [...Nooo.] He stretched out the 'o' like it was gonna help his case.
I sighed rubbing my temple. "Just get on with it."
[Righto. So Host, you can convert gold to gacha points. Each gacha points is approximately 10,000 gold. Since you have just unlocked the gacha and you're so broke, you have received 1000 gacha points.]
My temple throbbed at him calling me broke, but It decided to ignore him for now, like I always do.
Besides, a 100 gacha points couldn't hurt. So, thank you, I guess, solely and solely for that.

That it?
Wait a second.
I narrowed my eyes as I recalled seeing something like this in my last life. Wasn't it...
"Is this copied from Meta Essence Gacha from CYOA?" I asked the System, already knowing the answer but t waiting if he'd admit to his wrongdoing or not.
[Wrongdoing? Buddy, you're treating this like I plagiarised their work without permission!]
" You did plagiarise their work without permission. Although no one really takes permission to plagiarise someone else's work."
[See?]
"Doesn't make it right." I crossed my arms. "Now move on to the next page."
The system scoffed. [Judgemental asshole.]
[Draw-
Gacha points-1000
Draws so far-0
Host, by drawing with each 100 points, youa re increasing the level of difficulty. And before you ask me what the fuck I'm talking about, haven't you ever used a gacha before?]
[ The more you draw, the better your chances get. Right now we have tiers- Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythical. These tiers is pretty much how we divide our items into.
Also, make sure to remember that they're ranked based on how powerful they make you, not if they're useful in the current situation, or if it's practical or shit. We don't do that.]
[Now, I know the next thing you're going to say,] said the annoying, yet surprisingly correct friend of mine. [ Can't you draw using more or less points than a hundred? And the answer is, yes, you can. I mean, 100 is the minimum, but you can max it upto 500.
However, I would advise you not to do that. Sure, your chances get better from the get-go, but the chances of hitting an Epic after 5 consecutive 100 draws is better than hitting it after an instant 500 draws. The rest is up to you.]
"Wow." I informed him, genuinely surprised. "That's the longest you've ever talked, simultaneously making sense."
[I'll take that as a compliment,] he grumbled.[Now, you gonna draw or not?]
What are you waiting for?
[Draw-
Gacha Points-1000
Draw 100?]
"Draw."
The screen spun around for a bit, as various colours flashed by. Finally, it came to a pause at what looked like a regular old stick. At the end, it rounded into two ends. Kind of like a slingshot, but without the sling and way more rounded.
[ Congratulations, host! You have drawn Item: Lovely Assistaff!]
Hmm, Lovely Assistaff? Not a bad choice to be honest. I needed a new weapon anyway.
It materialised into my hands, and I examined it. The height of a regular old stick. It might not look like much, but...
I poured some man into it. Instantly the rounded end changed. It became hard and steely, the dark brown changing to prussian blue. Thorns about a foot tall grew from the back of the back of the blade. I cautiously pricked my finger on its back. Unlike my expectations, it didn't feel organic, and I felt I could myself in a fight using it.
(Img)
From the end of the blade, instead of the edges coming together to form a deadly point, two spikes grew, kind of like horns of a Viking Helmet.
"Damn," I commented, looking at the weapon. I spun it around twice, and it sliced through the air like butter. "This is pretty good!"
[I know right?] The system showed me it's description. [ Weapon: Lovely Assistaff
Fictional World: Gachiakuta
Rank: Uncommon]
"A weapon of this level is Uncommon?" My jaw dropped at the lack of credit the thing was getting.
Or maybe, it wasn't lack of credit.
Maybe it was...
"Draw!" I screamed at the system. He was dissatisfied at my command, and smug at my reaction at the same time. Nevertheless, he did what I told him to.
The system screen flashed various colours again, before finally stopping at the symbol of a blue pentagon. A character popped up.
A tall handsome young man with light blue eyes and light blonde hair with dyed blue highlights, accented by red eyeliner. A hairstyle including a mullet with blue streaks at the ends and two deep blue rat-tails. Blue rose tattoos on his neck.He is typically seen wearing his Bastard München #10 uniform.
[ Congratulations, host! You have drawn Character: Micheal Kaiser!]
...
...
...
"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!"
I screamed with full force, fully stoked now, ready to explode. All the stress I had been carrying for a while exploded outwards. Public Safety Hunters gave me weird looks, but for me, at that moment, only the sarcastic bastard in front of me mattered.
"THIS IS CHAINSAW MAN, FOR FUCK'S SAKE! AND EVSN IF ITS NOT, I LIVE IN THE RIORDANVERSE! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO, INVITE KRONOS TO A GAME OF FOOTBALL?!"
[Okay, chill. I know it looks bad-]
"Looks?" I gave a bitter laugh. "Its way more than looks, you son of a-"
[ You get Metavision and Predator Eye!] He shouted.
"Still not enough!" I yelled back. "That's not going to be too useful if I-"
[ Oh yeah? ] He challenged. [ What if you need to shoot an arrow from miles away? What skill are you going to buy then?]
" I'll just buy myself a fucking Sharingan!"
[Oh please,] he scoffed. [ You can't buy yourself a roll of toilet paper. Don't yap more than you can hold it for.]
"You are a motherfucking-"
[I'm drawing for you, because you are clearly an idiot.]
[Congratulations, host! You have drawn Item: Proto Armor!]
***
I wont be mentioning my reaction to every single one of what I got, because that would take forever, but a brief summary is in order.
First of all, the Proto Armor. While it's durability doesn't extend to all environments, in general, it's a great method of protection. I hope not to meet anything that can shred this before I can shred it.
Next up, a 6 month body conditioning card. It's a consummable, and using it instantly add to my body the physique of someone who's been living in the gym for 6 months. Human of course. Not immortal.
After that, I got Hanged Man.
Yes, Hanged Man from Stardust Crusdaers. It's a great Stand. Especially with the buffs that come along with it. Mainly from having a Stand.
Next up...
"So it's over." I flipped down on the floor, tired at the sheer shit I'd been through in the last couple of minutes.
[ Yep.] Sussy smell replied. [ Wanna check your stats?]
...
[I'll take that as a yes.]

"Right," I clapped my hands together. " So, action plan."
First of all, let's talk about Jason Grace.
Yep. Son of Ze- Jupiter, sorry. Child of Rome. Praetor. Deserved a place in Valhalla, but didn't get one because... well, Odin.
Also, did anyone notice the fact that Percy lived like a Roman hero, while Jason died like a Greek one. The irony was evident, right?
It's the first card I assimilate, obviously. How to assimilate, that can wait.
At my motion, the screen changed, so now it was like-

Okay, that's nice. Next up, the spearsmanship card. I thought it was useless at first, but considering I got Jason's template-
Wait a second. If I got Jason Grace, I should get-
I stretched my hand towards the screen. At my will, something else materialised in my hand. Small, circular, and gold.
Trembling, I turned it over. Stamped on that side, was the face of a man wearing laurel wreaths, with the words below it, "IVLIVS".
"FUCK YEAH!" I screamed, pumped up." I get the potential man and his shapeshifting weapon? Sweet!"
This changes a lot. It means every character I assimilate, I get their possessions, or at least the stuff they're known for. For example if I pulled Gojo, I'd get the blindfold or the glasses, or if I pulled Naruto, I'd get the headband.
Now, back to the spearsmanship card. I will for it to assimilated, and it vanishes from the screen, instead showing up on my abilities list.
Simultaneously, I feel a weird sensation in my arms. Not exactly shock, but a rippling feeling that hardens my muscles and gives me goosebumps. Somehow, I feel that if I picked up a spear, I'd be able to hold my own in a fight.
The more pleasant observation, is the Jason Grace template. I see the 1% jump upto 12%.
"Woah!" I can't help but stare ta it in shock. "That's how reliant he was on his spear?"
[I mean, the only reason we didn't see him do shit with it was mainly because he lost it in the first book, and it was replaced by a gladius. Still, I have a feeling it could've gone much further, if he actually got another spear.]
"You're right," I muttered. He definitely can make it lethal.
And finally I have one empty slot to assimilate another character. The choice should be obvious, but...
First up, we have Jiro Awasaka. Not that good, just someone used by GayGay to show that Megumi and Yuji were bumming off.
Still, his technique had potential. I'm not sure, but I hope I can use it in the exact way to maximise its potential.
Plus, it's not even Inverse I want. It's that he has cursed energy. If I use it properly, I can use general abilities of JJK that have great power. You know, Domain Expansion, Anti Domain Technique and especially Black Flash.
On the other hand, you have Micheal Kaiser. My personal favourite non Blue Locker, and undoubtedly the best pure "striker" in my opinion. He doesn't pull off bullshit moves like Byakugan or Godzilla like *cough* some people I could mention.
Rather, he depends on the fastest swing type shooting technique. And hey, the world's top player said that, not me.
So, why am I thinking it over so much?
AN-
I know, I know. But in my opinion y'all probably used to me pulling off random vanishing jutsus by now, so not too much abt that.
Anyway we currently have 700 collections, 190 k views, and 147 powerstones. Yippee.
Anyways, enjoyy
