Chapter 35: First Summon

Everyone gathered under the tree to witness the birth of a new companion. Jasmine was puzzled when Yun Che mentioned summoning an ally from another world.

"An ally? What kind of summon are you planning?" Jasmine asked, still perplexed.

Yun Che retrieved a shiny, light-blue cube from his inventory and displayed it to Jasmine. The cube in his hand was a bright light blue color, shining with an otherworldly glow. It was a perfect four-inch cube with sharp edges and simple, mesmerizing patterns on its surface. Despite its unassuming appearance, it gave off a calming aura and held immense power. It seemed to hold deep secrets within its simple design.

"This is a wisdom cube. It can summon companions from my home world. Using this cube, I can summon a new ally to aid me here. In a world where the strong dominate the weak, there aren't many trustworthy allies, but there's no harm in summoning a loyal companion. My ultimate goal is to assemble a hare… I mean a team of powerful Soul Reapers to explore the many realms of this world," he explained to her. He was sweating bullets for a moment when he misspoke the word 'harem' which was his intended task.

"Soul Reapers? You can summon another one?" Jasmine was astonished and oblivious of his intent because, to her knowledge, Yun Che was the sole Soul Reaper in this world. The idea that he could summon another one was unexpected.

"Yes, to initiate a summon, I need to collect four cubes provided by the system and then shatter them. This allows the system to summon a random, powerful Soul Reaper from my home world. However, the summoned Soul Reaper will have a blank state, devoid of past memories. They'll retain their skills, abilities, and unwavering loyalty to me," Yun Che elaborated, and Jasmine nodded in comprehension. She was once again impressed by the capabilities of the system and noted how fortunate Yun Che was to have such a powerful tool as his companion.

"How do you acquire these cubes? Such a valuable item could easily stoke greed in this world if it fell into the wrong hands," Jasmine inquired. To her, The cube possessed an extraordinary power – the ability to summon companions from Yun Che's home world. This unique artifact like this will a highly sought-after treasure, invaluable in a world where strength was paramount. With it, Yun Che could create loyal allies, like Soul Reapers, who would bring formidable skills and unwavering loyalty.

A cube like this will be a priceless treasure to cultivators despite not having the ability to summon Soul Reapers.

"These cubes are randomly bestowed by the system, making them extremely valuable to me. It took me nearly six months to gather six of them, and I have no idea when the next one will arrive. I hope to obtain a better result this time," Yun Che replied.

"Well then, what are you waiting for? Initiate the summon," Jasmine urged, stepping back toward the spirits and leaving Yun Che in the open.

"Alright," Yun Che retrieved four cubes from his inventory and placed them on the grass.

[Ding… Requirements for an Ultra Rare summon met. Initiate Summon?]

-------------------------

In his heart, Yun Che fervently prayed for someone powerful and, if he dared to be hopeful, perhaps even attractive. His luck had been on an impressive streak, and he hoped the heavens wouldn't disappoint him now. He steeled his resolve before pressing the button [Yes].

[Ding… Administrator permission acquired. Initiating Summon from the World of Bleach.]

All four cubes on the ground began to levitate. They rotated slowly in the air, gradually merging into a single unit. This fusion generated a potent wind and an intense light that forced Yun Che and the others to shield their eyes. It was the first time he had initiated a summon in front of his other Zanpakuto spirits, who were brimming with curiosity about the kind of being he could summon from the World of Bleach. He knew that the Gacha rates in his world could be disappointing at times. While he was confident he'd receive an Ultra Rare character, he could only hope for someone he recognized.

The fusion of the cubes produced an intense, radiant light. Yun Che observed as the cubes took on the shape of a body, with hands gradually materializing beside it. Judging by the body's silhouette, it was unmistakably female.

"Lucky me!" he cheered internally, but he couldn't help but wish the female was someone familiar.

As the formation continued to take shape, legs and a pair of breasts became apparent. The light emitted by the formation grew increasingly brilliant. Yun Che shielded his eyes from the dazzling glare. The formation began to fashion waist-length hair for the figure, eventually shaping the character's face. Just as he was trying to identify the face, a notification appeared before him.

The formation of the figure was complete. Yun Che beheld a mature, captivating body. As this was a summon, the figure appeared in her birthday suit. Her body was flawlessly proportioned, featuring ample curves that adhered to the ideal three sizes of any woman he'd ever seen. Yun Che felt his nose was about to explode from a nosebleed before he quickly averted his gaze. The figure's black hair cascaded down to her waist, while her facial features took form, beginning with a petite mouth, a cute button nose, perfectly contoured cheeks, and culminating in gently closed eyes before forming a complete forehead.

The figure's beauty rivaled that of Xia Qingyue and Jasmine, both of whom exuded a captivating allure. However, this figure radiated an even more stunning and mature charm. If she were to step into their world, empires might wage wars for her.

"This is..." Yun Che was shocked and thrilled, having watched the anime Bleach before. He immediately recognized this character, who had been one of his anime crushes back then. Yet, before he could utter her name, another notification appeared.

-----------

[Ding… Congratulations on summoning an Ultra Rare Character from the Bleach World.]

Simultaneously, Yun Che spoke her name just as the system displayed the next notification.
