Chapter 118: Chapter 118
Of course, beyond the soaring stock prices, what truly delighted Eren was the haul from last night's chaos.
A total of 3,000 Fate Points confirmed one of his long-standing theories: killing individuals tied to destiny could indeed siphon Fate Points from them.
Unfortunately, when Eren reinstalled the arc reactor for Stark yesterday, he didn't receive any Fate Points. Perhaps it was because, with or without Eren, Tony would have accessed the spare reactor in the basement and survived anyway.
This lack of reward left Eren slightly disappointed.
It seemed that such an act didn't count as altering Stark's destiny. He made a mental note to test this on someone else next time.
As he reflected on the intelligence gathered from last night, thoughts of the 3,000 Fate Points set Eren's heart racing.
"Since I've got the Fate Points, let's do a round of draws!"
The battle between his clown clone and Iron Monger had highlighted a glaring weakness—Eren lacked truly powerful offensive techniques.
The clone's Paper Soldier Technique and his own sharpshooting skills were highly effective against ordinary foes. However, against heavily armored enemies like Iron Monger, Iron Man, or the Hulk, such methods were far less effective.
In fact, he couldn't even break through their defenses.
This time, Eren hoped to draw something to bolster his offensive capabilities.
With that thought, he entered the Fate Balance Space through meditation.
Inside the space, Eren summoned the phantom of the Fate Compass.
"All in! I'm betting all my Fate Points on a 30-draw streak!"
This time, Eren didn't bother with smaller batches to test his luck. He wagered everything on a single massive draw.
The enormous phantom of the Fate Compass spun rapidly before him, its dazzling array of prizes flashing past his eyes.
Soon, after leaving behind 30 radiant orbs of various colors, the phantom vanished.
The results:
1 Purple, 3 Blue, 5 Green, and 21 White.
The sight of the orbs made Eren's eyes gleam with excitement.
"A purple!"
The single purple orb alone was enough to offset the disappointment of the large number of white ones.
Eren decided to save the best for last and started with the 21 white orbs.
One by one, Eren crushed the white orbs, yielding the following items:
A "Disguise Diary"
A fine tea set
A necklace
A generator
A sniper rifle
A pack of T9 explosives
A princess dress
A pair of sunglasses
A high-quality sapphire
A pair of gargoyle statues
A bottle of poison marked with a skull
A delicious bento box
Three handguns
Six grenades from different timelines
Despite their abundance, most items were either mundane or of limited use to him.
Next, Eren turned his attention to the five green orbs, which promised items imbued with extraordinary power.
After crushing them, he received:
Cursed Scarecrow
A straw doll made from cursed grass. Write a name on its back and burn it to curse the target into the abyss of death.
Limitations: Only effective on ordinary souls. One-time use.
Feather Quill
A quill that automatically completes homework.
Created by a wizard frustrated with assignments.
Magician's Ring
A ring imbued with the heritage of a magician. Wearing it grants enhanced physical abilities like finger dexterity, memory efficiency, flexibility, and balance, all considered essential traits for magicians.
Crystal Eye
A monocle that allows the wearer to see spirits and ethereal beings.
Prolonged use may reduce vision and attract ghosts.
Sunfire Talisman
A talisman inscribed with solar energy, capable of suppressing evil and inflicting significant damage on spirits.
One-time use.
...
The Magician's Ring particularly caught Eren's eye. Beyond the physical enhancements it offered, its inherited magical techniques could prove invaluable in the future.
Thanksfull by this unexpected luck with the green orbs, Eren eagerly moved on to the three blue orbs.
Ding!
Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the Sequence Potion: "Witch."
"...What?"
Staring at the "Witch" potion in his hand, Eren froze mid-motion.
"Seriously? Adding this to the 'Assassin' potion from before, all I'm missing is the 'Instigator' potion to complete the 'Witch Trio' and perfect my gender transformation!"
He groaned internally.
What kind of joke was this? Out of all the incredible items the Fate Compass could have given him, why these?
