Ch.11″New gacha is always welcome.”

Of course, if you asked whether it was a good idea to restore the gacha system now, most users would certainly tilt their heads in confusion.

That made sense because, like many mobile gacha games including this one, characters and ships available through the gacha system typically required additional special resources different from the standard ones.

However, in contrast to that, those of us here right now… had never obtained any of those beautiful gacha-exclusive resources.

“Commander, we don’t have the materials needed for causality adjustment, so how do you plan to use this equipment?”

“Hmm.”

If someone else were watching, they might think I was just wastefully squandering resources, as Jessica was suggesting.

“Jessica, did you know that when our gacha system is first created, we get one free 10-pull?”

“What’s that?”

Jessica, who had been an NPC in the game, seemed unaware, but no matter how stingy this game was with rewards and how much it loved to screw over its players…

They were still generous enough to offer the first 10 gacha pulls for free, albeit with an expiration date.

‘Ah, time-limited gacha, how generous!’

Anyway, in this ultra-early stage, there was no chance of encountering enemies that our patrol ships couldn’t handle.

We needed to recruit another superhuman to team up with our king-style Ignis.

Of course, the current situation—focusing on developing Ignis while handling everything else with the fleet—wasn’t necessarily bad.

In fact, looking at our current state, we were essentially operating very efficiently with minimal resources.

The problem, as I’ve mentioned several times before, was that Ignis was ultimately a “close-combat” and “anti-personnel” character.

If later on, among the pirates attacking us, someone of S-rank or higher appeared who could hold their own against Ignis…

Or if space monsters that relied on sheer numbers showed up, our base and Ignis might end up being tossed around by pulsating space tentacles.

Moreover, if we were defeated by space monsters, they were very PC friends who didn’t discriminate between men and women.

We’re fucked

The base was taken over by space monsters, and the only S-rank muscle marine we trusted is being violated by space monsters

‘Oh shit.’

After recalling that “disturbing image” I’d seen while browsing the community earlier, I shook my head to erase the horrific scene from my mind.

“Anyway, the important thing is that we need a new superhuman.”

“I see, understood!”

I told Jessica to prepare to welcome our new friend.

‘Of course I would, duh!’

The moment I saw the prompt appear before my eyes, I immediately pressed Y to dump resources into the ga-cha.

==========

The next day.

<Multi-Dimensional Fixed Causality Generator Unlocked>

Perhaps because it was something that had existed from the beginning.

This time, the notification said “Unlocked” rather than “Construction Complete.”

But what mattered right now was that I could finally use my first free 10-pull gacha.

“Hmm.”

I quickly finished the bacon and eggs I was having for an early lunch.

Then I got up from my seat and decided to head straight to the gacha system located in the center of the base.

Of course, before going there…

Bring the alcohol and women!

It’s time for heroes and warriors to pull SSS-rank characters!

I wanted to check the post I had uploaded earlier to receive the overflowing praise and encouragement from our community… or rather, the gallery users.

With such truly encouraging comment responses, I shook my head and made my way to the gacha room(?).

==========

After arriving at the gacha room.

“Is everything ready, Jessica?”

“Yes, ready anytime!”

“What about Ignis?”

“I’m ready to set off fireworks anytime, Commander.”

To give a heartfelt welcome to whoever might arrive.

After checking the welcoming setup that Jessica and Ignis had prepared with great care, I decided to roll the gacha and prepare to welcome our new member.

<First Random 10-Pull Ticket>

<Would you like to use this ticket? Y/N>

“Let’s gooooo!”

And as soon as I pressed the button, the Multi-Dimensional Fixed Causality Generator’s wheels began to spin.

Unlike the previous single pull, this time it was a 10-pull at once, so maybe that’s why.

The light flashing was much more intense than before, giving off a distinctly extraordinary feeling.

The problem was that at this point, Ignis suddenly seemed to remember something and asked me:

“Commander? I have a question…”

“What is it, Ignis?”

“What if the result of the causality fixation is a ship instead of a person?”

“…!”

Come to think of it, since this wasn’t a comeback-exclusive reward but a regular pull, it could randomly produce either ships or characters.

If a ship came out, not only would the welcome banner that Jessica had carefully made by cutting and pasting colored paper be useless…

But the modest welcome ceremony we had prepared would all be for nothing.

And it seemed Jessica, who was listening to our conversation, had the same thought.

-Trembling

Jessica’s expression, which had been beaming until just a moment ago, froze completely.

But as the light emanating from the gacha machine disappeared, everyone put on bright smiles to offer welcoming greetings, but…

“…?”

“Welcome… uh, huh?”

“Commander, no one came out.”

What appeared after the light pollution cleared:

<Shabby Resource Box>

<Shabby Equipment Box>

<Shabby Equipment Box>

<Unique Equipment Box>

<Patrol Ship Modification Equipment>

<Shabby Resource Box>

<Ordinary Resource Box>

<Ordinary Resource Box>

<Ordinary Equipment Box>

Contrary to my expectations, the result of the 10-pull was… just a bunch of equipment and resource boxes.

Forget SSS-rank.

Not even SS, not even S.

Instead of getting at least an A-rank superhuman, I got a pile of resources and equipment that I didn’t particularly need right now.

“Siiiiigh…”

Feeling a deep sigh rising from within.

I thought that if I stayed here any longer, I might just get increasingly irritated.

So I immediately opened the gallery and posted a new message:

Did a 10-pull and didn’t get a single character, too pissed to take questions.

After seeing these mocking responses and feeling wounded in my heart.

I trudged back to my room with heavy steps, deciding to take a short rest.

Well, gacha failures like this were extremely common and could happen to anyone.

I thought that with a little rest, I could regain my mental stability and pull myself together.

But there was one thing I failed to realize:

I had done a 10-pull, but only 9 results came out of the gacha machine.

As for what happened to the remaining one, I went to rest and ended up falling into a deep sleep.

It was only after I woke up later that I realized my gacha result was actually “successful.”
