Chapter 29: Wheel of Fortune (2/2)
[Congratulations: You have won a throwing bomb]
”Heh?” he jumped in surprise at the notification. He won a lottery in just a second turn. That was surprising, indeed.
[Name: Throwing Bomb]
[Category: Weapon]
[Type: Long range]
[Rank: Elementary]
[Grade: No Grade]
[Price: 500 dollars]
[Effect: One-time destructive weapon]
”Hey, this is again contradicting your words,” Kadyn said. ”You said I can't give my lottery to anyone. What is the meaning of price here? Doesn't that mean I can sell it to anyone?”
”Don't you know the difference between giving and selling? Of course, you can sell anything. This is a shop, after all!” System snorted disdainfully.
”...”
”Cough… spin!”
And the Wheel Of Fortune—as Kadyn called it—rolled, and his heartbeat quickened. No matter how many times he tried this, the excitement of the unknown never felt overrated. It's thrilling and enjoyable.
Kadyn realised why those gamblers on earth would become so addicted to gambling. Now he knew... why?
[Better luck next time]
”Spin!”
[Better luck next time]

[Better luck next time]
Kadyn wiped the sweat off his forehead and roared in frustration. ”Spin!”
He peered at the wheel with little hope to get anything from it. It seemed the bomb had sucked his entire luck today. Even it was just a damned one-time use weapon.
[Congratulations: You have won a Spell Scroll]
Kadyn gawked at the screen as if he had read something wrong. But a few seconds later, the screen remained unchanged—his eyes shone in excitement before grabbing the scroll.
”What element does this spell belong to?” He said nervously and opened the scroll with his trembling hands. His eyes glued on the scroll and his heart thudded in his chest, and he opened it.
At the top of the scroll was written [Darkness Walking]. He found six, dark-black, shining stars in the upper-right corner of the scroll. It implied that the spell was six-star, and it belonged to the dark element.
Although he had yet to awaken a single star of the dark element. It was just a matter of time before he would need spells for it.
He turned towards the wheel again. Not willing to leave just yet. All the traits of a gambler could be seen in him at this moment. Although it was based on luck, it was exciting.
”Roll!”
And the wheel rolled as Kadyn commanded. He peered in front of him as the wheel slowed, and he rubbed his hands in anticipation—when the wheel stopped, it brought a dashing smile to his face.
[Congratulations: You have won a Spell Scroll]
He looked inside the scroll and realised that it was a lightning type, and it was the eight-star!
Right now he only had three Lightning Stars awakened and, therefore, he could not use it right now. If he wanted to make good use of the spell, he would need to awaken eight stars.
I just pray that fate won't play a joke on me again.
His face burned when he remembered his fire element. Even after awakening the ten stars, he was at the bottom of elementary mage. Kadyn felt his heart bleeding by just thinking about it.
