7 The Son of Luck

When Zion received the items, he didn't touch the ring of the heart or the other two items. Instead, he took the three old cards.

Pluck... the candlelight lights make a simple wave of their flame.

With the lighting, he saw the cards were ancient. The backs of the three cards were black and had a question mark on them, and the front was pure white.

With no way of knowing what abilities he would have after using them, he prayed that he would at least get a good ability to at least save himself if the sailor on the ship tried something funny like throwing him in the middle of the sea.

Just thinking of it makes Zion shutter in fear, as he was not even a great swimmer.

He looks at the old cards again and gulps his saliva back.

"System, what should I do? Do I drop blood on the cards to activate them?"

[Host, please those are not bloodthirsty cards in your mind. As stated in the description, they are completely random, so you will have to rely on your luck and pray to your god that he will boost your luck.

And to activate the ability, you have to rip the card. After that, a symbol will appear and will be tattooed on your body]

"Tattoo? Is the tattoo big? "

"...." System

[Host you're worrying about how big the tattoo is. If I say yes, will you not activate the abilities, then suit yourself.. Tsk, what a good host you are…

Worry about your luck first]

Zion was taken aback by Systems' words; after all, why worry about the size of the tattoo when his life was on the line?

He should just accept how big the tattoo is as long as his abilities are good or stupidly strong enough to pull him up out of his muddy situation.

Even though he hates tattoos as he finds them not good for the body, this was not earth anymore.

Whatever he disliked in the past, if he could benefit from it in his current situation, he should be willing to make a sacrifice.

Getting tattooed was a small price to pay to have good abilities this world didn't know about.

"Your right system, thank you for reminding me. I was thinking as an earthling and my hobbies of love and hate. I'm really grateful system"

@....@ System...

[Your welcome host, now rip it and let us see the abilities your luck can bestow you]

Zion shook his head and smiled as he looked at his three cards. He first picks up the first card to test his luck.

Crip tssskk... shinnggg

A white light appeared as the card was ripped into two. Zion shielded his eyes with his left hand as it was too bright.

After the light faded, he saw a symbol of a Celtic shield.

He looked at it for a minute, and before he knew it, the Celtic shield flew towards his left-hand wrist and became a one-inch tattoo. It was small enough that he became happy. Well, it would be much better if it was small and not too visible, right?

The information about the ability of the tattoo was wrapped into his brain. The tattoo itself was a defensive growth type ability, which means his ability was top-notch. The Celtic shield's ability allows himself to shield itself from attack physical and magical attacks.

The more powerful he becomes, the stronger the defense will be. There are five skills in the ability, but for now, he can only use two as he is not yet strong enough and has not met the requirements to use the other three skills of the Celtic shield.

He again ripped the two remaining cards, as he was not afraid of having a junk ability.

Well, the defensive ability was already a big gift for him.

Well, that's what he needed to preserve his life first.

The other reason he ripped the two cards at the same time was to make sure he used up all his luck for these two remaining cards before it faded away.

Well, I guess that's what he believed in after all.

Crip tssskk... shinnggg

The white light appeared again as the card was ripped into two. Zion shielded his eyes with both of his hands, as it was even brighter than the first card. After the light faded, he saw a symbol of a circle with a swirl that was shaking like a vibration.

The last one was an evil eye with two black and white butterflies on either side.

The swirling circle with shaking vibration went directly to his chest part, but the evil eye went to his forehead and disappeared, while the two butterflies of white and black went inside his eyes and faded away like the evil eye didn't exist at all.

[Junker hosts are you the son of luck or something? How the junker did you gain those two abilities]

Zion was once again wrapped in the information as he was startled at what he had gained, as his luck really skyrocketed and went over the roof of his expectations.

"What the hell, am I the luckiest son or something? What great abilities, hahaha"

Zion was so happy for his ability that he couldn't stop his laughter of happiness. Now he could really go and see the world with his own eyes without fear. Maybe even his revenge is not far off after all.

Zion gains the following abilities:

[The Celtic shield ability: allows the user to fashion a shield that can withstand physical and magical attacks. The Celtic shield is a popular symbol among Irish faiths; it is regarded as a symbol of eternity and can grant the bearer protection. The user's strength and mana will be the basis of how strong and durable the shield is.

First skill: enveloping himself in an aura that could withstand any attack, both physical and magical.

Second skill: making a round shield that can be used to shield other members and as a blunt aura shield weapon.]

[Circular Swirl Vibration Ability: It allows the user to control the vibrations at a range that could travel 35 feet, or 10.6 meters. It has a strong destructive ability that could be used in long-range and close-range fights. The user's strength and mana will be the basis of how strong and wide the range of the ability can cover.

First skill: it allows the user to send controlled vibrations to his hands and feet.

Second skill: allows the user to be sensitive to vibrations and any other form of waves in its maximum range. It can detect and locate enemies or foreign objects in the body.]

[evil-eye butterfly: it allows the user to create and enter the minds of people to make illusions inside and outside the range and could travel 35 feet or 10.6 meters. The user's strength and mana will be the basis of how strong and wide the range of the ability can cover.

Note: The stronger the enemy, the harder it is to invade the mind, and might cause a backlash to the user.

First skill: allows the user to create an illusion in reality or inside a person's mind.

[Congratulations, host; you truly are the son of luck to have such ability right away.]
