Chapter 23: An Egg (1/2)
Kadyn gawped at the screen with wide eyes. He sighed and shook his head. ”Looks like my luck isn't as good as I thought.” He paused a little and murmured. ”Should I try once more?”
He hesitated, but in the end the gambler inside his heart won and the wheel once more spun. His heart raced with a rolling sphere.
What am I going to get? After all, I am the protagonist here.
Legendary Spell?
God Artifact?
Divine Potion?
Am I going to become an OP overnight?
Kadyn started to daydream when he thought about a treasure. As the speed of the wheel decreased, his heartbeat increased and his gaze stuck to the circle on the wall.
Come on!
Give me something awesome!
The spin stopped, and Kadyn was thrilled as he looked at the message on the screen.
[Congratulations: you have successfully drawn a lottery!]
However when the screen changed, and another message appeared, his smile froze.
[You have won an egg]
After that, an egg appeared on the ground. Around the size of the Ostrich's egg—with the white shell covered in blue patterns—the shell couldn't be any more rough. It was oval and only the word [ordinary] could describe its appearance. Nothing noteworthy.
Kadyn felt the craggy shell with his hand when he held it.
”What is this... stone?” kadyn complained. ”I don't want it.”
”You can't abandon the lottery, especially not something living. If you do, your winning rate would fall in the future. Furthermore it is your first lottery, if you abondon this, I don't think you will ever win again.” System replied.
”Wha...aat?” Kadyn shouted in frustration… these stupid rules. Then again it was the system that gave him the second chance to live. So he had no right to complain about it.
”What should I do with this egg?” he sighed and reminded himself to remain positive.
Who knows if it is a hidden mythical creature?
However, when he looked at that stone like an egg, he lost all the hope.
”Sign the contract by dropping blood on the egg. You also need to nourish it with your summoning element.”
”What do you mean I need to nourish it with a summoning element? Does that mean without summoning element I won't be able to sign the contract?” hearing System, Kadyn's interest piqued up.
”You can... actually by dropping blood on the egg you aren't forming a contract with but a kind of link. Anyway it is another matter, you will know in the future. Let me tell you the answer to your question.
”Most people want to get the [Familiar] with the same element as them. Why is that? Because with that it would be easy to form a deep bond with the beast and the beast would also feel more connected with another person.
