Chapter 57 – Elemental Gallery, I Got A…
[ Since you have finished the first round, You can choose to transport to Elemental Gallery and choose your reward. ]
" What is Elemental Gallery? "
Risa smiled and spoke with a tinge of excitement in her voice, " It's a very good place, There are various kinds of rewards in it, But what you can get from it depends on your luck, " Saying this, She turned to look at Athan and others, " I'll be going to pick my reward and we might not meet again so good luck in your next rounds. "
After that, she disappeared.
Laksel also smiled before turning his face towards Athan and Tiana before speaking, " The first round is always the same 100 years and it's considered as Rewarding round, nobody is eliminated in it, But it will be different for 2nd round. Participants will be eliminated if they do not pass it so be careful. As for Elemental Gallery, you should see it yourself. "
After saying this, He also bid farewell to Athan and Tiana before disappearing.
Seeing that both of them disappeared, Athan spoke, " We should also go and see what is in this so-called Elemental Gallery. "
So after nodded to each other both of them also disappeared as they also got transported into Elemental Gallery.
After a second, the Scenery changed as Athan arrived in a vast place filled with stones of different shapes. The sizes of stones vary from 1 meter to 2 meters and each of them had different shapes.
[ Participant Athan, you have 30 minutes to choose a stone as your reward, Each stone contains a single item. Some may contain a Mystical fruit or a natural treasure, Some may contain a powerful spell manual, Some may contain an equipment or an Artifact, etc. It depends on luck so Good luck. ]
" I see…' Looking at the display in front of him, He understood, ' Let's see if mystic energy empowered eyes can see anything, though I doubt it will work. '
He injected mystic energy into his eyes to enhance it and looked around but everything seemed the same as when he looked normally.
' hmmm. The black whirlpool also wouldn't work I think, The actual items would be in the real-world while this stone just represents those items. '
He looked at all the stones around him, ' Luck huh…I don't know if my luck is good or bad. '
Thinking about it, He just selected the nearest stone to him, The stone was around 1.4 meters tall and had a weird shape which couldn't be described.
[ Are you sure you want to pick this stone as your reward? ]
" I'm, Sure. " Athan nodded, ' Since there is no way of knowing what is contained in the stones then what's the point of wasting time. '
After he answered, The stone he picked remained and all other stones disappeared.
[ Would you like to open it now or later? ]
" Open it now. "
After answering, Athan saw that cracks started to appear on the stone, and after 5 seconds, it broke down and revealed a cute thing in front of him.
[ Congratulations, You got a…..]
…
…
After receiving rewards, Athan once again arrived at the vast land of grass, But he just stood there dumbfounded looking at the creature in front of him.
" Hmm it hurts…." pinching his cheek dazedly, Athan confirmed that he was not dreaming.
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸….*
A very small and cute kitten that had white fur with black and grey stripes was currently rubbing its head towards Athan's legs as it meowed.
" Hey friend, Don't tell me you got this kitten from Elemental Gallery? "
Hearing the voice, Athan looked in his left side and saw a man with the appearance of 19 or 20, He had dark green hair, and wore a red devil costume.
Athan picked up the kitten and spoke with a smile, " Yeah, what's wrong? "
Laughing, The man spoke with a smile, " Nothing, it's just that your luck is too good to get a cat from the stone hahaha. "
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸….*
The small kitten climbed on Athan's shoulder from his hand and once again meowed.
Athan nodded with a smile, " Indeed, It's very good. Cat has been my favorite animal, I am actually very happy to get a cat as a reward, and it's so cute…Like the cutest cat I've ever seen. "
"…are you serious? People can receive Affinity fruits or pills, Powerful spell manuals, and artifacts but you just got a cat, shouldn't you be a bit….you know? " The man spoke with a confused expression and thought, ' Shouldn't he be frustrated? '
" Indeed, They have subpar luck while I have very good luck…." pausing for a second Athan asked, " Have you ever seen someone get a cat from stone before? ".
" Err….No. " The man answered as he scratched his head.
Hearing him, Athan nodded and grinned, " See? It means my luck is actually very good. "
" Whatever man, As long as you are happy. " Saying his, The man left.
Athan then picked up the cat from his shoulder and looked at it.
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸*
Athan muttered, " This cat…" He could feel there was something weird about this cat, It gave off a unique feeling.
' Anyway, It's true that cat is my favorite animal, Furthermore this cat doesn't seem to be just a normal animal. '
Looking at the cat that was sitting on his palm while looking at him, Athan thought, ' Well I will know in the future if it's a normal animal or something else, But for now I should decide on its name. '
After thinking for a while, He finally decided.
" Lucky…From now on you are lucky. "
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸….*
" Woow, That's such a cute cat!!" Tiana's voice suddenly arrived startling Athan a bit.
Looking at his right, Athen smiled and said," Its name is lucky." After that he asked, " By the way, What did you get from the stone you picked? "
" I got a weapon called Blazing Railgun. " Tiana waved her hand, and a rifle appeared in her hands, The rifle looked the same as a flintlock rifle but its barrel was a bit bigger, It's color was sunset orange which didn't look like paint but the material itself.
She then swiped her hand and a display containing details of Blazing Railgun appeared in front of Athan.
[ Blazing Railgun ]
-Fire Element
-By continuously injecting energy, you can shoot powerful hose bullets with high exploding and area power.
-Recommended to use Fire energy, other elements' energy attack will be reduced due to the material from which the weapon was created.
" It looks powerful, It would've been great If it also supported Lightning Element. " Athan spoke after looking at the information.
Afterward, He looked at Tiana and asked, " Tiana do you have any white energy with golden hue in it inside your Mystic Realm? "
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸….* Lucky nudged Athan's face.
" Aw….looks like lucky is attached to you already. ", Tiana smiled happily and answered Athan's question, " Yep, That energy repaired my Energy Realm and that's why I didn't die when I went to receive the petal of Blazolt Flower. "
" oh…" Athan fell into a thought hearing her, ' So that energy has healing properties? '
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸*
Lucky continuously nudged its head against Athan's face.
Athan looked at it confusedly, The kitten also looked at him and…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸.
" Hmmm…I don't understand what it's saying. "
Tiana looked at lucky and spoke, " It's certainly trying to say something. "
Athan remembered that lucky nudged him when he asked Tiana the question about white energy with golden hue in it, But The kitten wouldn't know about it, which means…
To confirm his guess, Athan looked at lucky and spoke, " Mystic Realm? "
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸*
It actually nodded its head.
" looks like this kitten is really not a normal animal. " Athan spoke in amazement when he saw it nodding.
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸…* Lucky then nodded before jumping on his head and patted its paw on his head.
*chuckle…*
Tiana couldn't help but laugh seeing its antics and spoke jokingly, " Maybe it wants to go inside your Mystic Realm? "
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸𝘸*
" Oh…" Both Tiana and Athan were surprised that Lucky actually nodded once again, indicating that what Tiana said was right.
" But how do I do that?…" saying this, Athan fell into thought for a moment before he got an idea.
' Since I can't give a drop of my real blood in this virtual world, It means that I may need to give it my Mystic Energy, Well no harm in trying. ' Thinking of this, Athan guided some mystic energy with his consciousness and gave it to the kitten.
Sensing the Mystic Energy of Athan, Lucky meowed loudly as it actually absorbed the mystic energy.
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸𝘸𝘸𝘸…*
" You want more? "
*𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸…𝘮𝘦𝘰𝘸*
" Alright…" Saying this Athan gave it more Mystic energy.
After Lucky ate a considerable amount of Mystic Energy, It suddenly disappeared.
Tiana who was looking at it was startled, " Eh…It disappeared. "
At the same time, Athan felt something inside his Mystic realm and hurriedly sent his consciousness into the Mystic Realm.
After arriving there, Athan found the kitten sleeping at a place not too far from where his black dragon suit was.
' It really entered inside, But how? ' Athan was really dumbfounded and thought after some time, ' Wait…After the kitten wakes and goes near the black whirlpool, It won't be absorbed by the black whirlpool right? '
Athan felt a bit of headache thinking about it but after musing over it for a while, He judged that black whirlpool will not do something like that because It could usually absorb things even if they were outside and now that kitten is inside his Mystic Realm but still not getting pulled so it should be safe.
