Beginner's Guaranteed 5-Star Gacha
Inside a dark secret base.
This was one of Redanis’s branches—the one that had sent Ryushia off to the academy.
“All the subordinates I assigned to watch Xia have gone dark?”
“Y-yes, Lady Emily.”
“Why are you only telling me now?! That means we can’t interfere with the academy for a while! Are you kidding me?!”
The pink-haired twin-tailed girl roared at the messenger.
“Magical Hammer!!”
“I’m sorry! S-save m—”
In the end, the innocent messenger was crushed and burst apart by the ornately decorated hammer.
Plop. Plop.
Blood and entrails scattered through the air.
The pink magical girl wiped the blood splattered across her face with one hand, then licked her fingers.
Completely unlike her earlier rage, she now wore a loving smile as she thought of someone.
“That Xia brat… I’ll have to educate her properly with my Magical Whack…”
“Stop throwing your tantrums, you hysterical old hag Emily.”
Thud.
Behind the giggling girl appeared a massive man holding a single book.
“…Luman. Shall I send you to your Lord’s side as well?”
“Well. Simple death alone won’t be enough to reach Him.”
He cradled the holy book filled with bizarre script as if it were precious. His dark priest robes strained against muscles that couldn’t be hidden, flexing visibly.
He was Redanis’s Sixth Finger.
The fanatic, Luman.
“For now, let’s just observe. Who knows? That one is probably rampaging after devouring the lambs and growing even stronger. He could cause far greater chaos within the academy.”
“What if, for some reason, the control was released and he fell into their hands? What if he’s gathering power to crush us?”
At the man’s quiet murmur, the pink-haired girl glared sharply.
“Then it can’t be helped, can it?”
“Seriously.”
Luman scratched his head and answered casually. Emily’s eyes went blank as she made a gesture of utter disbelief.
“Then we can simply send the Ninth and Tenth Fingers.”
“Oh please. Sending that muscle-brained idiot and that deaf-blind fool. I’m sure they’ll handle it perfectly.”
Scraaape.
She dragged her brain-splattered hammer behind her and quietly walked away.
“Emily, today’s cafeteria breakfast is sausage, seaweed soup, and strawberry milk.”
“I can’t miss that!!”
Tap tap tap!
At Luman’s single sentence, her face lit up and she came scampering back.
Inside a shabby classroom.
A female professor with a band-aid on her chin and a mask over her face spoke calmly.
“We have a new transfer student today, so please welcome her with a big round of applause.”
“…Is this going to be okay?”
Only one black-haired male student muttered with a worried expression. The anxiety that she might cause another incident was already creeping up on him…
Screeech.
Bang!
“Ahem! Will the class representative please step forward!”
The classroom door flew open with force, and a girl’s confident voice rang out.
- ???
Thud. Thud.
Paying no attention to the question marks popping up above the students’ heads, Ryushia strode toward the teacher’s podium.
“My name is Ryushia. If anyone is bothering you, please tell me immediately.”
Thump!!
She planted one foot on a male student’s desk and declared.
“Hah! A mere commoner wearing such rags—how dare you speak so recklessly?!”
Bang!!
A silver-haired noble lady who took offense at the sudden display of dominance shouted in fury.
“…As expected, things never go smoothly.”
Jinwoo’s head was already aching from the dizzying situation. He buried his face in his desk.
“Are you the class representative?”
“I am the second daughter of Royal PMC, one of the kingdom’s top ten corporations! I shall correct your insolent behavior.”
Click, click.
Arkhis, the silver-haired noble lady, rose abruptly and approached with elegant, refined steps to discipline the insolent commoner.
Clack.
“Huh?”
Plop.
In the blink of an eye, Ryushia’s scabbard flashed. The noble lady’s bangs were sliced clean off and fluttered to the floor.
“Oh dear, I’m rather skilled at cutting bangs. Do you like the result?”
“Hi… hii… I was planning to visit the salon anyway… it’s not bad…”
Swish!
Click, click.
Arkhis, who had frozen after having her hair cut in an instant, turned around and returned to her seat.
She tried to maintain a calm expression, but as she sat down she quietly muttered to herself.
Wh-what kind of terrifying woman is that…
“Is that the famous attitude shift of a top-ten corporation?”
Jinwoo was impressed by how quickly she had changed her tune.
“Student, beating a professor on your first or second day of transfer and threatening your classmates is a little…”
“The first incident was to save someone! The second was to save my friend the cost of a haircut! Isn’t that right, Lady Arkhis?”
“Y-yes… Teacher, we usually play like this…”
“Arkhis, stop trembling and speak properly.”
The professor sighed at the noble lady, who was still shaking in terror.
“Ugh, never mind. Ryushia, take the seat next to him.”
“Yes~!”
At the professor’s indifferent gesture, Ryushia walked to the back of the classroom.
“Good morning!”
“Uh… yeah…”
Screeech.
To the boy receiving her greeting, she was a woman whose every action—from one to ten—was completely unpredictable.
Clatter.
“So, what’s your current favorability level with the female characters?”
Inside the school cafeteria.
A black-haired girl and boy sat across from each other at a table, talking.
“Seriously, not even one?”
“…”
Even when asked in disbelief, he gave no answer.
“Oh my god.”
The silence made my head throb. I slapped my forehead.
How many attractive heroines were in this academy? How had he not even reached favorability level one?
“What about Arkhis, the second daughter of a top-ten corporation? You’re in the same class.”
“When we first met, she beat me up for being a commoner who dared to look at her and turned me into her personal bread shuttle…”
“Sigh.”
Watching him fail so completely at being a man, raising this newbie already looked exhausting.
“Sorry, I’m a solo virgin so…”
“Never mind that! Do you know the fire mage Iflata? She has a nice slender figure and a pretty cute face.”
“I don’t even know who that is.”
“Then what about Professor Lamia, Iflata’s mother? She has violently huge breasts and an ass that’s just—!”
As I described the game’s female characters’ figures to him, a lewd smile naturally crept across my face.
“I-I don’t know! But saying that to a professor is rude!”
When I wiggled my hands obscenely while laughing creepily, his face turned bright red and he shouted.
Tsk tsk. He really was a total dense idiot.
As a real man, I need to teach him.
“Professor? Every woman here is a target for your harem!”
“Hey!”
“What?”
Even after hearing those powerful words, Jinwoo suddenly turned pale and shouted.
“…Ryushia student?”
“Ah.”
It turned out the subject of our conversation was standing right behind us.
The 5-star limited character, lightning-attribute long-range dealer, Archmage Lamia.
“Whoa, those tits.”
“Eek?! What kind of vulgar nonsense are you spouting to the professor…!!”
The moment I saw the incredible sight before me, my tongue went numb at the sheer size.
It had been big in the game, but in reality it was an even larger mass of soft fat. Her intricate blonde-haired, blue-eyed features were captivating.
The slightly drooping corners of her eyes gave her a gentle impression, and her red lipstick-coated lips carried the seductive allure of a married woman.
A narrow waist, a softly protruding lower belly, and thick, plump thighs to top it all off.
“This is what a woman looks like.”
A pregnancy-optimized body that was far lewder and more voluptuous than 5-star Ryushia.
“S-student! You mustn’t look at me with such lustful eyes!”
“Jinwoo, what do you think? If you have a thing for married women, she’s not a bad choice.”
“Sh-Shia! You can’t say things like that! She’s a professor!”
When I pointed at Lamia with a sly grin, he panicked and shouted.
“Eek, huaaaaaaaah!!!”
Tap tap tap!!
In the end, Professor Mommy couldn’t endure the sexual praise. She let out a girlish scream and fled.
How adorable.
“Even so, sexual harassment is a bit…”
“Because we’re both women?”
“You’re a man, though.”
“Overcoming that contradiction is my destiny.”
“…Sigh.”
At my confident tone, he seemed to run out of things to say and let out a deep sigh.
Heh. My victory.
“Ah! Since you probably don’t have many companions yet, let’s go do a gacha pull while we’re at it!”
“Gacha?”
The biggest business model in Genesis RPG was, of course, probability-based items.
One pull cost 160 diamonds.
Ten pulls cost 1,600 diamonds with a guaranteed 4-star.
The 5-star character rate was… 1%, but it included a pity system at 90 pulls.
5-star weapons were similar.
Character banners were split between standard and limited. According to Labi, the rotation changed periodically, so I had to check carefully.
- Yep! There’s only the standard banner right now. Wanna try?
“Hmm. Normally I’d skip the standard banner, but since it’s only me and Lady Arkhis, we need to expand the character pool.”
“Really?”
Normally the protagonist formed a party with his classmates.
In the protagonist’s current class there was me, one 4-star Arkhis, and a bunch of worthless 3-star trash mobs.
“Anyway, it would be nice if we get a good 5-star from the beginner pickup.”
The beginner pickup had a discount and guaranteed a standard 5-star, so it was perfect for the current situation.
“Come on! Let’s go as soon as we finish eating!”
Grab!
“W-wait?!”
Following her policy that faster was always better, she suddenly seized his wrist and dragged him off somewhere.
Was it my imagination?
Even though he had been grabbed by force, her hand felt unusually warm and soft.
“Are you ready?”
“Uh… yeah.”
Behind the school stood a strangely shaped altar. The two of them stood before it.
“First, let’s spend some diamonds.”
- Yaaaawn…
Labi was lying lazily beside them while the boy and girl busily prepared.
“Okay! I think we have enough now?”
“Y-yeah!!”
Finally ready to pull, they prayed with earnest hearts…
- Hmm?!
Thud!!
Ryushia slipped her hands under Labi’s armpits and lifted her.
“One! Two!! Hup!!!!”
- Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa?!
She hurled the tiny fairy like a fastball straight into the center of the altar.
Kwaaang!!
- Pugek?!
The moment Labi collided with the altar and a loud boom rang out, light burst from the girl’s body along with an unsightly groan.
“Isn’t this abuse?”
“It’s not abuse, it’s affection.”
She possessed heavenly power and was the key to the altar or whatever—the details didn’t matter. The important part was that Labi getting smacked produced an especially satisfying gacha animation.
The game community had a massive Labi-abuse faction.
- You…! Hmm?!
The moment Labi’s eyes snapped open—
Shwaaaaaaaa!!
3-star weapons rained down from the sky above her head.
Thwack!
Thump!!
Boom!
- Gweeeeeeek!!
The tiny fairy’s head was pounded by lump after lump of iron. The impact feel was truly excellent.
After the random 3-stars came—
BOOOOM!!!
- Ugyaaaaaaaak!!!
Something enormous fell and crushed Labi flat.
Well, she was an angel-like heavenly being. She had near-total immunity to physical damage, so she’d probably be fine.
“Labi getting crushed! This is the guaranteed 5-star animation!”
- Hueeee…
What appeared was a blonde girl making modest, graceful gestures.
“Holy Saint Elia has answered the call.”
The 5-star character, Saint Elia, knelt with her hands pressed together.
“Umm…”
“Hehe. Not bad, right?”
Just looking at her appearance, the beautiful blonde hair and black blindfold over her eyes gave off a mysterious charm.
Despite her slender frame, her abundant chest and pelvis contrasted strikingly with the sacred saint’s robes.
In truth she was a Berserker Saint.
A monster born with world-class physical strength.
“She should be fine for the early game.”
Her violent fighting style made her difficult to control, but if handled well she was a capable character who could pull the weight of one and a half people.
“However, I do not obey the commands of anyone weaker than myself.”
This bitch?
“Then… I have no choice but to make you submit.”
“Huh…? Why are you two suddenly trying to fight?!”
