The First Taste of Battle
"What kind of overpowered cliché is this!" I scream at the top of my lungs, feeling a mix of awe and disbelief as the automated voice announces my rewards from the gacha pulls.
A ferocious creature, resembling a giant horned wolf, comes running towards me. Panic sets in, but just in time, I manage to regain my composure and evade its charge.
"Calm down, Rei. Even if you are strong now, you can still die if you get overwhelmed by fear and get careless," I remind myself, wiping the sweat from my brow.
With determination in my eyes, I summon my "Spectral Blades." Two magnificent black blades materialize in my hands, exuding an aura of power and menace.
The wolf charges again, but I swiftly dodge its jaws and strike its massive neck. The beast falls to the ground, blood pooling around it. It's my first time killing a living thing, and a mix of emotions well up inside me. I realize the weight of my actions in this new world.
As I gaze at the spot where the monster's body once lay, I notice that it has disappeared, leaving behind two items. Just as I am about to reach out and claim them, the automated voice interrupts my thoughts.
"Congratulations, you have leveled up. Please look at your status screen to see your new level and claim your rewards."
"Huh, this world really is like a game. I guess I should do as I am told," I mutter to myself, curiosity piqued.
Opening my status screen, I am greeted by the remarkable growth I have achieved:

"Congratulations for leveling up to level 20. You have been rewarded 10 gacha pulls, and now you have access to pull not just skills but legendary items and even servants who will remain loyal to you as their master," the voice echoes in my head once again.
"Wow! It would be nice if I could pull a servant, so that I can have someone I can trust by my side, and explain this world to me. I will only pull 5 gacha for now and save the rest for later on," I contemplate to myself.
With anticipation building in my heart, I reach into my pocket and retrieve the first gacha orb. As I open it, a burst of magic fills the air, revealing a skill called "Analyze." It grants me the ability to perceive and comprehend the strengths, weaknesses, and hidden traits of both living beings and inanimate objects.
Moving on to the second pull, I eagerly open the orb and discover the "Transfer" skill. The description explains that this unique ability allows me to bestow the skills I pulled from gacha upon my loyal companions and servants. It's a skill that holds the potential for immense synergy and growth.
As I proceed to the third pull, my heart skips a beat as a small, adorable creature emerges—a puppy. But not just any puppy—it's the legendary beast Fenrir, appearing in its infant form. Its innocent eyes look up at me, and I can't help but smile.
"Well, aren't you a cutie? I think I'll name you Yuki," I say, giving the puppy a name that reflects its pure white fur.
Moving on to the fourth pull, I open the orb to reveal a set of exquisite clothes. The fabric is of the finest quality, adorned with intricate designs and enchanting patterns. I quickly change into the attire, feeling a surge of confidence and charisma wash over me.
Finally, for the fifth and last pull, I open the orb to reveal a stunning sight—a beautiful maid with short blue hair, cat ears, and a tail. She introduces herself as Amy, her graceful demeanor and captivating aura instantly drawing my attention.
"Welcome, Master. I am at your service," Amy says with a warm smile, her voice filled with loyalty and dedication.
I can't help but be captivated by her presence. "Amy, huh? It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Kurasaki Rei. I look forward to working together," I reply, extending my hand for a handshake.
She gently takes my hand, her touch reassuring and comforting. "Yes, Master. I am honored to accompany you and lend you my support."
