Chu Yan woke from a nap and found himself bound to a gacha game System.
He was the card being drawn.
And not just any card: he was the highest-rarity UR card, the kind of divine card only whales or the luckiest players could pull.
Chu Yan was thrilled for three seconds, then calmed down a little. “Are you sure I'm supposed to be a UR card? I'm only good at sports. I can't do anything else.”
The System checked again and confirmed: [Yes, that's right. You are a UR card.]
Chu Yan: Awesome!
And so,
A swordsman, betrayed by his best friend and subordinates and left alone to die in the desert, gained a young companion: cheerful and outgoing, great at keeping up a conversation, and such a good runner that he got the swordsman out of the desert in three days.
Swordsman: Five stars. I'll draw again next time. Why don't you be my little brother?
A fallen god, abandoned by his followers and doomed to sink into the abyss, drew a card while drifting in and out of consciousness. He got a remarkable follower who dragged him into late-night parties of singing, dancing, and drinking milk. So full of energy, the kid kept him from feeling depressed and made him want to go out and beat someone up.
Fallen god: What do you do when the kid at home is too noisy? Beat him up. The followers outside? Beat them all up and throw them out.
The saintly savior who had saved the world, only to be betrayed and slandered by his own people before falling into an eternal slumber in hell... saw the swordsman and fallen god's stories next door in a dream, snapped awake, opened the game screen, and started drawing like crazy. When he failed, he started spending money.
Best friend! Best friend, I'm coming!
Let's destroy the world together!
This evil, rotten world doesn't deserve to be saved!
Chu Yan, finally dragged out by the power of money: Huh? What? Destroy the world? That sounds hard. Why don't we start with running?
Best friend, do you like running?
The mage, frail and half-dead after running ten kilometers, the saintly savior: Thanks, best friend. I'm awake now. I'll go back and take care of those people in the kingdom.
Later,
When everyone learned that a new card had appeared in the pool, a super-rare UR card apparently capable of [soul purification], they were all curious. They might not need him, but the demon next door probably did!
Great purifier, we need you!
Then Chu Yan, who still hadn't been pulled after thousands of draws: Wow, you guys are so unlucky.
Meanwhile, the System belatedly realized it had probably gotten the card rankings wrong again. It watched its Host run back and forth between the factions of the powerful leaders of every race, so busy he seemed to have become some kind of beloved mascot. The System fell silent: [...Amazing.]
Chu Yan, so out of breath he could barely speak: I want to retire!
