The Gacha Draw
A/N : 3rd Person's Point of View
3 years ago~
⸢Forest Secluded Area for Training⸥
Glaring at the four black silhouettes with the same appearance as him, Elliot breathed in and out in patterns to minimize the use of stamina he have. The four look at him warily raising the hilt of their swords and the blade pointing downward, Elliot gripped his sword's hilt and initiated his attack.
(A/N : Doppelgangers A, B, C, and D)
Dashing in left of Doppelganger B using ⸤Dash⸣, ⸤Sprint⸣, and ⸤Speed Enhancement⸣ catching off guard the four doppelgangers, Elliot immediately slashed Doppelgangers A and C which are the nearest to B and horsekicked the Doppelganger he maneuvered.
*Slash!* *Slash*
*Pow!*
The three didn't have the chance to defend themselves to his attack and started to do the "death effect", fading into a black smoke. Elliot then frowned and clicked his tongue when he sense the danger below and jumped away, barely missing a set of large pool of darkness with large head with dark lion's mane snapping furiously. A blindspot attack came behind him but he used his muscles strength to do backflip evading a large ball of dark, making it hit the large tree in the straight direction and an explosion can be heard next.
*Boom!*
He clicked his tongue in exasperation because those are his skills, ⸤Shadow Apparition⸣, ⸤Shadow Bite⸣, and ⸤Shadow Ball⸣.
Doppelganger D aimed his hand to Elliot before dozens of mana bullets were summoned and launch to him like missile, Elliot did the same in fast pace and a series of explosions came loud.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
Of course, the idle doppelgangers didn't let this moment pass where Elliot have his guard down and attacks at the same time.The three used ⸤Backstab⸣, C successfully stabbed Elliot's elbow with his sword making him groan in pain.
"Kuhk!"
Gritting his teeth, he used ⸤Repulse⸣ to blow the enemies away from their spot with a strong shockwave. He flinched in the swollen pain from the bleeding wound he has and quickly used ⸤Light Heal⸣ to recover and heal his wounds, he then used ⸤Dandelion Dance⸣, a sword dance he created to par with his clumsy little body which launches volleys and barrage of slashes and thrusts to the enemy in pointblank ranges without taking any foot movement.
The four doppelgangers attack him without stopping, making him more agitated.
'This fuckers were just Labelled as Level 9 Sparring Doppelgangers but heck, they could beat me in one piece!', he thought thinking of how to beat the simulated enemies.
Then one idea came to him, he smirked inwardly as he dropped his sword and stand calmly in his spot making the doppelgangers stop attacking.
Like a ⸤Death Weaver⸣ he created dozens of dozens of threads from his mana so thinly that human eyes couldn't see and toughness in par with steel, then started to waves his hands controlling the threads circling the whole area. With this stunt the doppelgangers became warily but they didn't know what are Elliot were doing, and before they knew it it's already late.
With a slight tug with his hands, the doppelgangers get wrapped by the mana made threads immobilizing them. The doppelgangers squirm but Elliot didn't wait and pulled harshly the threads, which made the doppelgangers look like mincemeat.

⸢Elliot⸥
I huffed breathily before falling in the ground, exhausted in the spar I have done. Eve spoke in my head in monotone voice, I chuckled at the message.
[Congratulations for defeating the four level 9 doppelgangers in training mode, and also congratulations for creating a very gruesome and cruel skill from ⸤Mana Thread⸣ and ⸤Enchantment : Sharpen⸣. May your enemy pee in their pants seeing you]
'That's not how the system usually praise me, you're "you" now aren't you Eve? What's new?', I emphasized the first you since I kind of named the system and her the same.
Bratty Eve or Green Apple, the real Eve and the administrator of my system.
System Eve, self explained.
[Well yes, I'm just here to remind you about the Gacha Ticket. Shouldn't you need to use it? why keeping it on the Inventory for at least 4 years?]
'Ah, the tickets... to be honest I forgot them, by the way show me the ⸢Gacha⸥ function please', I said scratching my head before walking near a tree and sit to rest my small body.

Eve's Gacha function were just like the normal gacha, since she said to me one time that she added the literal gacha from games in the system functions to make me feel a bit of the same of those protagonists in manga and webnovels with that kind of system.
Now that I mention it, where should I use it?
Materials and Items weren't need.
Weapons weren't need for now since I already have a sword and my magic.
Armors? I think I need but... should I really use it there? I'm not a tank that needs armor, neither a hero that needs pristine and slick fashioned gears.
I look at my status for more advanced criticism and finally the final decision.

I remembered Rander, Erodii, Theo, and Asta right, those four bonded monsters of mom which are fond to me too.
What if...
"Hey Eve, what if I use all the tickets in summon gacha? would I get a monster there like mom's?", I asked Eve.
My fantasy blossomed quickly each seconds passed, having OP familiars to fight with you, a dragon? a phoenix? an elemental tiger? I want them all as my mob farmers later.
[Of course, but keep in mind that if it comes to system you need to nurture it to grow in there. You thought of having some dragon familiar aren't you with the help of system? dream on because, you can't make a dragon bow to you even with my help. You knew how to tame and bond monsters from your mother aren't you? don't ask the impossible here Ellie, I'm not omnipotent]
"..."
I knew it, I'm a pathetic MC. Why did even Author made me reincarnate here just to break this little dream of mine, I just want to train a dragon...
Toothless... hu hu hu...
[Stop the drama please, Author-san were sweating buckets because of low raise of views of these book now and seemed to be troubled. Be a man Ellie, Be a man!]
"Fuck you Author! my dreams are all gone! wah!!!"
From a calm and collected boy, my dignity dropped reaching a crybaby loser. A doppelganger was summoned next to me making me startled, and next was series of slaps.
*Pah!*
"Wai-"
*Pah!*
"I-"
*Pah!*
"Sto-"
*Pah!*
"Fuck! okay I'm stopping now okay!?!?! I'm stopping now!", I sniffed wiping the imaginary tear in my swollen left cheek.
Having a Vitality of 7 at the same age were rather a blessing, most of kids have only 3 to 4 Vitality at this age so I can atleast endure truth slaps.
"All Normal Tickets Summon Portion please"
[Just the Normal One?]
I better sa
[Alrighty~]
[Drawing Gacha's... Done!]

"Fuck! There's nothing good at all in that Summon Portion!", I immediately snapped seeing the last unlucky draws, my eyes in verge of watering in disbelief and pained expression etched to my face.
My Tickets...
[Should I use the Special Tickets in somewhere or not?]
"No! Use at that freaking Summon, I want my familiars!!!", I shouted of my lungs as I cursed the system (Not the real Eve) because of losing the 3 tickets in waste. Inwardly, I'm praying that I least a good one and not a nothing again or blew the fuse.

[Congratulations for getting Elemental Totem Pack (Rare)!]
"..."
[A goodie! you're one hell of lucky draw, Ellie!]
"What in the actual fuck?"
[Due to host getting a Rare Package in his first try of gacha, Host was awarded by a ⸤Lucky Coin⸣! Lucky Coin for a Lucky Host!]
"...kii-sama..."

A/N : This is a piece of the MC's memories (because in chapter 5, he was getting in sleep) and also the assurance of those weird named totem's origin.
The surprise is still after Chapter 10, but I'm not saying it's on chapter 11.
I'll make a chapter of skills later.
