Another World Gacha

Year 1721

It has been a year since the birth of Nicholas Alexander Curtana, and ever since he was born, he has been stuck either on the bedside, on the bosom of his mother, or being taken care of by the maids. He was the firstborn of Household of Curtana family, so he is often cared for and taken with good care.

Currently, on a translucent panel on his line of sight was the system that initialized right after he was born.

He is fiddling with the system that was activated after his birth. "Stellar Wish" is a system that provides Gacha mechanics by completing quests provided by the system.

Alongside his Gacha system was his status screen, which displayed his stats, clearly emphasizing the game-like characteristics of this world.

The first time he fiddled with the system, he learned that there are three types of quests provided by the system: story quests, side quests, and daily quests.

The daily quests are four repeatable tasks every day that grant a wish when completed. Things like kicking someone, punching someone, drinking breast milk, getting five kisses, etc. are the most common daily tasks.

Side quests pop up every now and then, providing more wishes ranging from 1 to 5, depending on the difficulty of the quest being stated by the system.

At first, some of the maids in the mansion avoided taking care of him because of the mischievous tasks given by the system. Some of the tasks include peeing on someone, slapping your father across the face, and grabbing a maid's chest.

But thankfully, the daily tasks of the system lately have been tamer ever since he turned one year old. At the same time, a lot of side quests started popping up, like learning to say a word, being able to walk, learning to jump, and many others.

Lastly, there is the third panel, which is the story quest. It is still currently locked, so Nicholas cannot access it while having a timer with 9 years remaining.

Nicholas has been wondering for some time now why he was reincarnated in this world. Most of the time, according to his previous knowledge, it was to defeat forces of evil because the world is ending, or sometimes in a relaxed world, living the slowest life humanly possible.

Nicholas: "I guess I would figure things out 9 years later." he just assumed that it would take 9 years before the start of the story quest, and by then he would realize the purpose of his reincarnation.

Nicholas: "I should use this time to prepare. But what can a kid do?" he wondered.

Nicholas hasn't made a wish yet since he was afraid of being caught while doing the wish. He checked the possible rewards, and according to the system, rewards vary from: skill scrolls, stat points, accessories, weapons, gacha cards, raw materials, and even coins.

There are a variety of possible rewards, and most of them are tangible, so items appearing in thin air and being caught while drawing gacha are most of his worries.

So, he decided to bide his time, accumulating wishes while finding a chance to be alone and in a safe environment away from prying eyes. Anyway, he was still a child, and there is no urgency to gacha wishes since his observation in this mansion is quite peaceful. 

Nicholas has been living on the estate for a year, being carried around the mansion by the maids and sometimes his father.

But recently, he had already gathered the necessary strength and balance to walk, and the people around the mansion were proud of his achievement.

He explored most of the vicinity of the estate being monitored by the maids, not confident enough to escape and lose the maids for some time. He planned to sneak into the storage room of the mansion next year to do some gacha.

...

Year 1722

In a dusty, weathered room. A boy is currently panting and sweating in tiredness, having to run away from the people chasing him.

Nicholas: "That should buy me a couple of minutes of alone time," he muttered under his breath.

Finally, after waiting patiently for 2 years, he accumulated a whopping 2,915 wishes. Nicholas, biding his time, finally had a chance to do some gacha.

He is now currently alone, in an old storage room on the side of the mansion. This storage room was a dump site for old and neglected furniture. The room was a bit dusty, indicating that it had been neglected for some time, and it was empty enough to accommodate the items Nicholas will receive from the gacha.

To escape Edela, the maid currently watching him, he suggested playing hide and seek. And he ran to the old storage room he planned to go to. Currently alone, Nicholas opened his status, selecting the stellar wish, then contemplating whether to select the 10x button or the 100x button.

Nicholas: *I should try the 10x button first; this is just a trial run.* he thought as he had a hard time deciding for himself. After a few seconds of gazing at the two buttons, he finally pressed the 10x button.

*Ding*

A light notification sound was on his head, and the text of rewards appeared on the panel in his sight.

-AGI +1

Enhancement stone x2

Assorted Weapon [Common] x5

Silver Coins (100) x 2

A few stones, assorted weapons, and silver coins appeared beside Nicholas.

Nicholas: "Woah." He was surprised at the sudden appearance of the rewards; thankfully, his assumption is right that the reward will suddenly appear in thin air.

Nicholas: "What is this?" he said. He picked up a shiny crystal named 'Enhancement Stone', which he had no idea about. He wasn't expecting this crystal stone as a reward in a gacha; maybe it will be useful in the future. He was also rewarded with stat points, some coins, and some steel weapons.

After seeing the reward given by the system, Nicholas grumbled a little bit since the reward was very lackluster, then took a deep breath.

Nicholas: "Maybe a few more Gacha wouldn't hurt, right?" He desperately convinced himself to do more.

After a few seconds, I repeatedly pushed the 100x button a few times.

*Press* *Press* *Press* *Press*

*Ding*

A light notification sounded in my head, and the text of reward appeared on the panel in his sight.

-VIT +7

-DEX +7

-STR +3

-INT +20

-AGI +5

-Skill scroll x1 [Epic]

Accessories x1 [Rare]

Enhancement stone x100

Assorted Weapon [Common] x50

Assorted Elemental Beast Materials (x100) 

Silver Coins [100] x 50

Gold Coins [10] x 10

After the notification, he felt an abrupt rush of power in his body due to the stat increase.

Then suddenly a pile of stones, weapons, raw materials, and coins appeared beside him. Nicholas quickly moved away from the pile of assorted goods to avoid being crushed by the sheer amount of rewards that suddenly appeared in thin air.

Nicholas: "That was close. I was nearly crushed by my own rewards." He sighed. He needed to be more careful; his body is pretty weak. After heaving a sigh of relief, Nicholas approached the pile to gather the important items.

Firstly, he went to the skill scroll. Opening the scroll, light coming from the scroll entered the forehead of Nicholas, who was entering a dazed state due to the information entering his mind. After a few minutes, the light slowly dissipated.

*Ding*

Skill: [Scan] Successfully Learned

A smile formed on the lips of Nicholas, and being able to learn the skill, he was delighted. This skill was able to scan or analyze an object or a person's information. He still needs to try the skill, but its description was very promising.

Nicholas: "Note to self. Don't carelessly open a skill scroll; opening it means learning it." he muttered since he just accidentally learned a skill scroll as soon as he opened it.

After that, he decided to use the scan skill he just learned to garner information about his other rewards.

[Steel Mirth Pendant] 

[A pendant capable of storing and preserving inanimate objects up to 1000 m3 in volume, but is currently damaged. Can store 20 m3 of volume.]

[Enhancement stone]

[Stone imbued with mana that can be extracted, useful for enhancing both weapon and power levels.]

[Elemental Beast Materials]

[Materials for enhancing the elemental core for better chances in promotion.]

After reading the description of the items, it was a bit weird. Its description was a bit lacking, maybe due to the level of skill being only level 1, but it was enough for him to know the use of each item. Having a satisfied expression, he decided to pick up the pendant on the pile and try to operate it to store the items gathered on the floor.

He fiddled with the pendant a little bit trying to store the items piled on the floor, but nothing happened. After a few minutes, nothing still happened to the items gathered on the floor.

Nicholas: "Is this pendant broken?" he wondered.

After realizing that he cannot store the scattered items on the floor, he quickly left the room. He needs to get some sacks to store and hide the items slowly, which might take a few months for a kid like him, but with his current power gained from the system, he might be able to do it slowly for a week.

*Sigh*, expelling an exasperated breath, Nicholas thought of different ways of possibly operating this pendant.

Nicholas: "Maybe I need to learn to manipulate mana to operate the pendant." He suddenly thought of a reason.

Nicholas: "Let's ask mom!" he said while thinking and playing cute in front of his mother to learn how to manipulate mana.

I was walking along the corridor, looking for Edela, the maid. Nicholas' hands over the back of his head, thinking he needed to plan more carefully next time to avoid these kinds of risks.
