VOLUME 3 - RIDE TO FORTUNE: START!
I let out a yawn as I woke up in the morning, stretching my body with a groan and cracking my neck... I felt incredibly exhausted but satisfied in a way that only a man who'd just made love for the first time could.
I looked down to my side, Akiza's crimson hair splayed out on the pillow and creating a visually striking image. Her clothes were strewn about the room... I even caught sight of her black bra hanging off my desktop monitor.
With a chuckle, I reached down and ran my fingers through her hair.
After I had returned from my little interdimensional trip, Akiza had been extremely happy to see me again. Perhaps the adrenaline had pushed her to make a firmer move on me.
As for me? Come on, how could I ever refuse my dear girlfriend's earnest request?
The result was a night of passion that still had my legs feeling weak... I had underestimated how amorous and needy Akiza would be, she was like a wild animal...
One that needed a nice taming.
With a tired smile, I focused my attention specifically on the rewards I received...
150,000 Points.
A 10x Advanced Gacha Roll.
A B-Rarity or higher item.
And finally... Zabaniya.
Any fan of the Fate Series at least had a passing knowledge of Zabaniya.
The secret technique of the Hassan-I-Sabbah- the Old Men of the Mountain. Every Hassan-i-Sabbah must develop their own Assassination Technique in order to claim the name of Hassan. And, at the end, they would all inevitably meet with the First Hassan and offer their heads when their times came.
I brought up the information on Zabaniya.
Zabaniya (Formless)
Rank: ???
Type: ???
An Assassination Technique belonging to the Old Man of the Mountain. While the foundation of Assassination is there, the technique itself has not yet been developed. The user must shape and craft this technique themselves in order for it to solidify so that they may take up their place- as Hassan-I-Sabbah.
I clicked my tongue, smiling in tired amusement. Unlike Uta and Thalia who received readymade weapons, I got homework?
That was fine. This was more my speed anyway. I had no need of weapons thanks to my Spirits, so the best thing for me to receive was either a talent or a technique. An assassination technique was a perfect fit for someone like me.
Next, my Gacha Roll. All items would be a minimum rarity of B, with the possibility of reaching SS at max.
"Roll the Gacha."
A slot machine appeared in front of me, before the lever pulled down and the three slots began to spin... However, they didn't stop. Instead, lightning began to spark and spray everywhere before ten capsules of various colours unleashed out of the machine.
Each capsule rarity had its own colour. From the bottom 'F' to the highest 'SSS.'
In order of lowest to highest, they were- White (F), Dark Grey (E), Brown (D), Blue (C), Green (B), Purple (A), Black (S), Red (SS), and Rainbow (SSS).
I watched as seven green capsules came out, along with two purple capsules, and a single black capsule.
Seven B-Rank, two A-Rank, and one S-Rank. I had no complaints- I could very well have just ended up with ten B-Ranks. Now, time to check out my harvest.
1 - Staff of Divine Protection (B)
2 - Dimension Travelling D-Wheel (A)
3 - Psychic Power Capsule (B)
4 - Psychic Power Capsule (B)
5 - Green Aura (K Project) (B)
6 - PSYqualia (Cardfight! Vanguard) (B)
7 - Ether Attunement (ZZZ) (B)
8 - Yusei Fudo's Driving Skills (B)
9 - Presence Concealment (A)
10 - Winged Dragon of Ra (S)
Instantly, I felt a shift as I received my rewards... Everything was overwhelmed as a vision filled my eyes.
A titanic creature of golden- the very embodiment of the Sun itself- staring down upon me... It was no mere monster; nor was it merely a spirit.
No... This was a God. A God that was a crucial part of killing the very essence of darkness and creating a key law within the universe of the Yu-Gi-Oh World.
The Winged Dragon of Ra.
It stared down at me... And then, it nodded before it turned into the sun and shot down- entering my chest.
I took a deep breath as I lifted my hand up and felt my chest, while Tez and Pandora both manifested and began to look me over quickly- after all, how could they possibly have missed the presence of one of the most ancient and greatest Gods?
I could feel it... Burning within my chest like a second heart- was Ra's Sun.
I quickly opened up what I had just received.
Winged Dragon of Ra
Rank: S
Type: Item, Talent, Bloodline
The one, the true, the ultimate chosen of the Winged Dragon of Ra. Not only are you able to call forth this mighty beast to aid you in duels... You are also treated as being the Demigod Son of Ra. You obtain Flame Talent, Light Talent, Life Talent, and Flying Talent.
"Incredible..." Pandora breathed out, her touching of my body turning from frantic to worship. She would have normally been annoyed that Akiza had sex with me before she did- but now, feeling the power of the ancient god of Egypt coursing through me- she gazed upon me with awe. "You... You have become the son of Ra itself, Master..."
"While I'm not pleased about you obtaining another God, I certainly can't complain about the results," Tez said, sounding very pleased. "A fine comrade... And a good cover for your Dark Signer activities in the future."
I took a deep breath and just nodded, not trusting my voice as I looked through the rest of my rewards.
The Staff of Divine Protection wasn't exactly useful for me, at least not in my world. It created a barrier around the house and up to 20 blocks away that prevented people with hostile intentions towards you from entering.
In most other worlds, this would be phenomenal. But it wasn't as useful for me since I was able to slip in an out of the Spirit World at will, thus avoiding danger. Plus, not only did my spirits act as my guards but my own world operated on a single rule- Duelling.
Next was a true gem - Dimension Travelling D-Wheel. A Duel Runner that could traverse through dimensions... Though, if I had to guess, likely limited to strictly Yu-Gi-Oh Dimensions and I probably couldn't go to world of Alexis in my chat group either. Still, this opened up many possibilities down the line... I could potentially visit Arc-V, the original Yu-Gi-Oh, and more.
Though I would save that for MUCH later on. Once I was done with the 5D's Era in this world, then I would consider starting to travel to other dimensions.
Psychic Power Capsule, I'd received two. Very simple... You eat one, you obtain psychic powers. Not particularly useful for me, but I could give one to Alexis and another to another lover I made in this world.
The next one made me focus up, narrowing my eyes at it carefully.
Green Aura (K Project)
Rank: B
Type: Enhancement, Superpower, Talent, Growth
Within the world of K-Project exists the superpowers known as Auras. The Green Aura allows one to control and wield Electricity. However, the Green Aura hides more power within- but it will be up to you in order to draw it out.
K Project... A series I was familiar with, though it had been a long time since I'd gotten involved with it.
I was more familiar with the Gold Aura- which was capable of drawing out one's full potential- and the Silver Aura which could control Gravity.
However, I knew the Green Aura was definitely amongst the strongest. Especially skilled users could even defy some laws of physics, able to phase through walls and ignore gravity by running up vertical surfaces.
PSYqualia... I couldn't help but chuckle at that one, given how many of my cards had transformed to resemble those from the world of Vanguard. However, I didn't want to assume anything. And so, I read.
PSYqualia
Rank: B
Type: Enhancement, Clairvoyance
A mysterious power born from a distant planet, residing within the eyes of humans. While active, the eyes will glow with orbs of light. Adjusted to the world, not only is one capable of hearing the voices of 'the cards,' but they can also see the souls of others. Furthermore, they can see into the future to determine the outcome of a Duel. Please be warned - the future can be overcome by one with a strong enough will, and careful preparation and strategy.
I gave a short nod, about what I expected. This skill was better against weaker players, but it still had its uses against players like Yusei or Yugi. It wasn't as effective, however, since people like that were capable of creating new cards mid duel- and PSYqualia could only see the future based on the voices of cards they could see and hear. A new card being created could throw off the future.
And the final skill that I wasn't sure of...
Ether Attunement
Rank: B
Type: Enhancement, Talent, Growth
After undergoing a special procedure, one obtains the power of the Ethereals to strike back against the Hollows. The user obtains Ether Talent, capable of not only entering Hollows within the world of Zenless Zone Zero but also wielding the element of Ether. This power and talent can be developed further.
I gave a nod; it was about what I'd expected... Also foreboding, but it was another power for me to learn how to use and master. I'd have to likely develop my own style with this one as well, just like with Zabaniya. But if I could use this together with Green Aura, that would be nothing but a good thing.
As for the last two abilities- I could already guess. Yusei's Driving Skills, meaning I could now use my Duel Runner as well as Yusei could. This meant that all I had to do was pass the road safety and driving tests, and then I would be certified to use my Duel Runner where and however I liked.
And Presence Concealment... It paired perfectly with Zabaniya. After all, what was an Assassin who couldn't sneak up on their opponent to end them? A true Assassin's target wouldn't know they were dead until they WERE already dead.
All in all? An impressive haul, one I had absolutely no complaints about... Winged Dragon of Ra alone made the entire summoning worth it.
And, finally, I accepted the reward for my B-Rarity or higher item. A green light flashed in my eyes, my item appearing on screen.
Servant Card Summoning Ticket
Rank: B
Type: Item, Summoning
Used to summon a Servant from the Type-Moon Universe into your own world as a Duel Monster Spirit, complete with its own card.
A good item, though a bit too random... After all, what if I summoned someone like Spartacus? I'd rather not have someone screaming about rebellion and oppressors in my ears.
So, I would save the ticket for later. I'd received more than enough already, no need to overwhelm myself.
Instead, I finally opened up the main chat... And, instantly, I noticed the announcement on screen.
[Trust Level has risen to Level 3. Users may now change their usernames to their real names. Mission function has been updated - users may now post their own missions for other users in the chat group to accept.]
[Inviting new users...]
[Mother's Rosario has joined the Chat!]
[Lightning Cat has joined the Chat!]
I smiled in amusement as I quickly changed my name from 'Black Sun' to 'Yuno,' while looking at the usernames of the two new girls that had joined the chatroom.
So, after every world mission there was a chance for more invitations to be sent out, was that it? How interesting…
Things would be getting even more lively from now on. But, for now, I should be a good Admin and welcome the newcomers~

Only got like 4 chapters (including this one) written at the moment. Will post them on Tuesdays since I've kept you waiting long enough, might as well just give what I have.
