*Hm, I don't know what the Golden Lottery Pool is, but it's quite likely that the reward will be something great.*

He then slowly urged some mana into the ticket and soon a rune circle emerged from it. This rune circle shimmered in a golden light and in the center of it there were pictures which slowly changed.

*These must be the items I can get from the lottery.*, Ivan thought, while he watched the pictures changing constantly. There were books, pills, weapons and sometimes even creatures to be seen.

*Wow, it seems like one can get just about anything from this lottery. I wonder if there is a way to get more of these tickets.* It didn't even have to be golden tickets, he would be satisfied with any kind of ticket. Because he was sure that there were different tiers of tickets and that golden wasn't the highest, but neither the lowest.

He wasn't sure what he would prefer as the item he got from the lottery. After all, all of these item types could help him. As he had realized during his fight with the Murderous Treant, he was in need of a better weapon, so a sword or something similar would be great. On the other hand, he would love to have some more skills too. Pills didn't even needed to be mentioned, since he was sure that they should be ones with great effects. After all the ones in the honor shop were already great and in his opinion the ones from the lottery should be much better.

The thing he was the least excited about were the creatures that were displayed. Even though he was sure that they would be strong and useful, he felt that they wouldn't help to increase his power directly. He wasn't sure why, but he had an instinctive rejection towards external power. And even if they were bound to him through a contract, to him they were still an external source of power.

Weapon were the same, but unlike slaves they were necessary to display the real power of oneself, so there wasn't as much rejection towards them inside his mind.

Finally after a lot of different pictures had been shown inside the rune circle it stopped and the circle lit up with a blinding golden light.

Ivan hastily shut his eyes, because of fear of being blinded by the light. When he opened his eyes again, the rune circle had vanished, leaving behind a dark green book levitating in the air, where it was before.

Not being able to wait Ivan stretched out his hand and grabbed the book, instantly using his mana to activate it. Then the information inside the book streamed into his brain and he was able to check out the skill he had gotten.
