"Finally… it's here."
Standing atop the platform, Arthur looked down at the cheering crowd below while the system notifications echoed in his mind. A smile slowly appeared on his face.
However, he didn't immediately choose to draw the lottery.
After all, the coronation ceremony wasn't over yet.
After nearly an hour of solemn proceedings, the coronation ceremony finally came to an end.
The citizens gradually dispersed, still filled with excitement.
Without a doubt, Arthur's speech today would become a memory they would carry for the rest of their lives.
As for Arthur himself—
He returned to the palace.
Along the way, every maid bowed respectfully.
"Your Highness—oh, no… I should call you Your Majesty now!"
The little maid Elia approached shyly, her cheeks flushed red as she lowered her head.
"Lunch has been prepared. Also… would you like me to give you a massage to help you relax?"
Arthur paused briefly and glanced at the blushing maid before smiling.
"No need for now. Maybe tonight."
"I'll eat later as well. I have something to take care of first."
"Alright, Your Majesty."
Elia nodded obediently, her face still red.
Seeing this scene, the other maids nearby couldn't help but look at her with envy.
"Well then, I'll be going."
Arthur smiled and quickly walked away.
After turning through several corridors, he finally returned to his bedroom.
Closing the door behind him, he sat on the bed and took a deep breath, calming the excitement in his heart.
Then his gaze sharpened.
He opened his status panel.
Host: Zephir Arthur
Nation: Kingdom of Zephir
Status: King
Nation Rank: Third-Tier Kingdom

"Activate the exclusive lottery."
Arthur spoke without hesitation.
"Ding! Exclusive lottery activated!"
The system's notification rang out in his mind.
Immediately, a semi-transparent interface appeared before his eyes.
On the screen was a large lottery wheel, divided into segments of various sizes. Each section displayed the name of a possible reward.
When Arthur saw the rewards—
Even though he had mentally prepared himself, he still couldn't help but gasp.
The reward list included:
Zanpakutō: Kamishini no Yari
Eyes of Insight (Kenjaku-style perception)
Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal
Bakusaiga
Dongfanghong Nuclear Missile
Cancer Gold Cloth
Forbidden Scroll of Konoha
…
"Ding! The lottery has begun! Host may shout 'Stop' at any time to end the draw!"
The system spoke again.
Without waiting for Arthur to recover from his shock, the wheel began spinning at incredible speed.
Arthur tried to follow the rapidly flashing rewards—
But after a few seconds he gave up.
"Looks like this will depend entirely on luck…"
He took a deep breath.
Then clenched his teeth.
"Stop!"
The spinning wheel halted instantly.
Arthur quickly looked toward the pointer.
The result landed on—
"Ding! Congratulations! Host has obtained Rinnegan!"
"Ding! Skill unlocked: Rinnegan!"
"Ding! Exclusive lottery concluded. The next draw will unlock when the national prestige level increases again."
The system notifications echoed one after another.
At the same moment—
The transparent screen disappeared.
A strange sensation surged through Arthur's eyes, forcing him to close them instinctively.
After a long moment—
He slowly opened them again.
His once dark eyes had transformed into mysterious lavender pupils, layered with concentric ripple patterns that seemed deep enough to swallow a person's soul.
This was one of the most legendary ocular powers from the world of Naruto—
The Rinnegan.
"So this… is the Rinnegan?"
Arthur widened his eyes and looked around.
His vision itself hadn't changed—
But he could clearly feel the immense power contained within these eyes.
Curious, he walked to a mirror and examined himself.
The white robe trimmed with gold accentuated his tall, refined figure.
Beneath his black hair was a handsome face.
And those purple ripple-patterned eyes gave him an aura both noble and mysterious.
Arthur nodded in satisfaction.
He was extremely pleased with the result of this lottery.
"But wait…"
A question suddenly crossed his mind.
"I don't have chakra. Can I still use the Rinnegan?"
The system responded immediately.
"Ding! All abilities obtained through the lottery that require special energy have been optimized by the system."
"They are now powered entirely by the host's physical stamina."
"Host may use them freely."
"I see…"
Arthur nodded thoughtfully.
"So if I want to fully utilize the Rinnegan's power, I'll need enough stamina."
"Looks like I'll have to start training my body more."
After thinking for a moment, he stood up.
"But first…"
"I should test how much of the Rinnegan I can actually use right now."
He pushed open the door and stepped into the private garden behind his bedroom.
The courtyard was enormous—hundreds of square meters in size.
There were fountains, blooming flowerbeds, and decorative rock formations.
Everything radiated luxury.
Arthur's gaze locked onto a massive artificial rock formation nearly ten meters tall.
He slowly raised his hand.
His Rinnegan activated instantly, faintly glowing.
Then he spoke softly.
"Banshō Ten'in."
In the next moment—
An overwhelming gravitational force erupted.
The enormous rock formation weighing several tons began to tremble violently—
Then it ripped free from the ground and shot straight toward Arthur.
