Chapter 2

『Achievement "Let's Try a Gacha" has been unlocked\'

『Rewards have been added to your Present Box\'

As I stood there at a loss, a window like a game appeared before my eyes, informing me that I had unlocked some achievement.

What is this? It’s like the status window in a novel set in another world, such as "Novel Updates" or something like that.

Well, what about this achievement? There’s a help mark in the upper right corner, so I pressed it, and there were items for how to pull a gacha and a list of terms. Actually, there were only those two. The list of terms only had three items: "Gacha," "Achievement," and "Present Box." What is this? Is the developer joking? Do your job properly.

When I pressed the achievement, an explanation was displayed.

『Achievement\’

A record of the accomplishments a system user has achieved in the past. Rewards are given by the management upon achievement.

You can check your achievements in the achievement list.

Management? So, I was really kidnapped for the amusement of a rich person? The possibility of this theory has increased.

Well, I can think about the management later.

I returned to the list of terms from the achievement list.

Then, an item for "Management" was added.

『Management\’

The management operates this system and the gacha, provides and manages the gacha prizes.

...No, no. I want more information. Besides, this item wasn’t there just a moment ago.

Could it be that the terms I recognize are added to the list of terms?

Really, it’s not very user-friendly.

"Hey, hey, can’t you give me a bit more? Even a death game in a movie explains more than you do."

There was no response.

I knew it.

Well, the achievement list. I found it quickly. Actually, this system only has three things: Help, Present Box, and a list of achievements. You should make it more substantial. I checked it with a sigh.

『Achievement "Let's Try a Gacha"\’

An achievement given to users who pull the gacha once. It commends your courage for not hesitating to pull the gacha.

Reward

Partial system unlock (automatic)

10 Gacha Coins

System unlock. It must refer to the system I’m using now. Partial unlock means it will be gradually unlocked over time? Thinking about it, in games, everything isn’t unlocked from the start. Functions are gradually unlocked as you progress through the game.

But the reward. The reward. I tapped the icon wrapped in a red box with a yellow ribbon, and sure enough, there were "10 Gacha Coins" inside. I tapped it.

Do you want to receive the 10 Gacha Coins?

Yes No

When I pressed "Yes," the space before me was enveloped in light, and particles of light gathered from somewhere. When the light subsided, a blue coin was floating there.

Now, what is this? The system and the current presentation. The level of technology is abnormal.

But even if it’s abnormal, I have nothing to do but pull this gacha, and I have to do it.

I took the coin that was floating, ignoring gravity, and faced the gacha. Then, a display was attached to the top of the gacha, where the contents are usually written.

What!? There was no display just a moment ago, what’s going on?

I was completely confused. But thinking about it wouldn’t do any good.

I sighed, inserted the coin into the gacha’s coin slot, and turned the lever.

Clunk

One after another, capsules were discharged from the exit.

The display showed text.

C Doghouse

C Daruma

C Pocket Tissue

C Teacup

UC Bookkeeping Level 3 Practice Book

C Fake Glasses

C Cooling Sheet

UC Allergy Medicine

C Mandarin Orange

Hmm. These are things that wouldn’t be useful even if I got them now, or even normally.

What am I supposed to do with these things?

As I thought this, the display changed.

『When you pull a 10-gacha, you get one extra gacha. Furthermore, an R or higher is guaranteed to be discharged.\’

Clunk

R Toilet

Ahhh, the toilet came. The toilet.

I’ve wanted to go to the toilet ever since I woke up. I hurriedly opened the blue capsule that was discharged.

Inside was a piece of paper that said "Toilet."

Clunk

I looked in the direction of the sound, and a wooden door was attached to the wall where there was none before. I rushed to the door, turned the doorknob, and entered.

I felt relieved.

Inside the toilet was a Western-style toilet, 2 rolls of toilet paper, and a wooden door.

I have to be careful with the remaining toilet paper.

The above ten items were useless junk.

Suddenly, an announcement was made.

At first, everyone thought it was an auditory hallucination. However, the fact that not only I but also people around the world heard this voice became known.

Amid the confusion, the UN Secretary-General held an emergency press conference.

『The voice you just heard was not an auditory hallucination. Everything is a fact.\’

『Humanity will perish as it is. This is the conclusion drawn by a higher intelligent life form than humans.\’

『As a result, we, the leaders, were judged to lack the qualifications to lead humanity, and the right to govern the Earth was stripped from us.\’

『This right to govern will be given to the winner of the competition mentioned in the announcement.\’

After this press conference, similar press conferences were held in the United States, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom, and other countries.

Then, images were projected in the sky all over the Earth, showing people in confusion.

At the same time, a website was published on the internet. It contained information about the thousand selected people and videos of their current situations.
