Chapter 2: The lottery

"Loading lottery"

I immediatly saw a wheel divided in five part. A principal part in black, a second one in white, a less important blue one, a little multi-colored one and finally a ray of a golden one.

"Activating lottery"

The wheel started turning rapidly, so rapidly that I couldn't see the color anymore. After a short time she drastically slowed and finally started stopping. And it incidentally arrived in the largest blue zone of the wheel.

'Yes, the luck is with me'

But she continued, and it happened to be a black zone after:

'I'm completely fuc**d!'

And when I was thinking that she passed to the next part and finally stopped. The next part was a multi-colored one. I started by being overjoyed but naturally the AS bast**d wouldn't let me be happy.

"Host you should open it rapidly because first a disaster can happen rapidly because of the previous sound and secondly random thing can be both good and also completely useless"

Yes naturally this thing can always see the bad points of the situation. It make me puke blood to admit it but she was totally right. So naturally.

"Extract reward"

"Extracting the Reward..."

"Reward obtained: "

When I saw it I was immediatly discouraged because the sword , apart from being a sword , looked to be made from the same material than the previous Iron Stick. But because of the name I still had a hope.

'Observe'

Damage: 8

This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.

Description: A sword possessing evolving property due to an enchantement. Limited due to material.

Note of the AS: It can be evolving but trash is still trash.

Apart from being dumbfounded due to the note of the AS, I was pleasantly surprised at the sword because also It wasn't that much better than the previous stick it still had a chance at evolving that made it worth it. But then I recalled it's name and asked.

"How does I evolve it?"

And unfortunately it was as I thought:

"It will take in the blood of the Beast you kill and absord the property."

"So that mean I still have to kill those Beast..."

"Yes and Host for your information the AS contain a system of detection of Beast in a 50m radius in case you were unaware there is one at 35m in front of you"

'She can't have said that earlier'

So I directly stood up and took the sword in my hand, waiting for the Best to get out of the forest in the campsite. But when the Beast got out I was shocked:

"Is that?"

"Seems like he was in the 80%"

In front of me was my previous guide, but the thing shocking me wasn't that, it was the fact that the low-level Beast that the AS was talking about was a fuck**g zombie. And he had everything of the job, numerous wound that I don't know from where they came from, the slow speed of walking and he even had bone protruding out of his body. If all that was part of the changement due to the transformation in Beast, I think I could understand the previous cry.

"Host it is recommended to use Observe for collecting information"

Oh, for the first time I sensed an emotion that was different from resentement for the AS.

'Observe'

Description: Infectious but slow and weak rather dangerous in closed space.

Note of the AS: Weak as shit but still, it's a match for Host.

Expected Gain: 5 LP.

Ah, I already know it was too beautiful for me to think that the AS was kind. But still one thing kept my attention.

"What is the thing in the gain thing?"

"That's LP, Life Power it will give Host the power to evolve, or according to the system to level up"

"It's named gain, so can I expect other thing?"

"... Host isn't as dumb as I was thinking... Yes in fact some important thing can be gained by killing powerful Beast but you don't need to know that now."

'Don't fight with a voice in my head, first it isn't simple to do and secondly I still need it's help...'

That's what i was thinking. But still it wasn't the time to think anymore. The zombie seemed to have seen me because it started to accelerate in my direction.

"Wasn't this thing supposed to be slow?!"

"Oh, Slow is for Beast with under 10 in Agility. But Host is also under 10, so Host is Slow too"

'Fuck I swear if I survive the Cataclysm, I will find God and make him kill the AS'

That's the last thought I had before starting running toward the zombie with my sword.
