Antique Doll

Blond hair, red eyes, and Roman curls, wearing a lolita dress and bonnet. A violent, cool-cute card with a male receiver Very doll-like, but a violent close-combat specialist skilled with claw blades and trench knives Everyone knows that if a game is designed to bleed its players dry, it will definitely have a beloved gacha mechanic. The dazzling gold flash of an ultra-low-probability pull, fashionable bits of junk at milestone pull counts, and the “hard pity” that can still give you the wrong card after hundreds of pulls. In infinite-flow worlds, cards have always been a kind of support item, something you can take or leave. After all, who would dump all their points into a godawful gacha pool to pull for a character card with mediocre stats across the board and no guarantee of a hundred percent control? You'd be better off spending those points on gear for yourself. Of course, that's assuming the pool doesn't contain an overpowered, must-have character with absurd stats in every category. Combat stats, mental stats, and... appearance stats. On the first day the limited character “Veronica Vanessa” went live, the entire world channel was flooded with players' pull announcements. “Player [I'm Veronica's Dog] has reached 500 total pulls in the [Veronica and the Silver Bayonet] pool! Received the pool's hard-pity reward: one [Vanessa's Cuddle Pillow]!” “Player [Stupid System, Stupid 25% Hard Pity] has reached 1,000 total pulls in the [Veronica and the Silver Bayonet] pool! Received the pool's hard-pity reward: one [Vanessa's Sleepwear]!” “Player [I'm Really Done Pulling] has reached 1,500 total pulls in the [Veronica and the Silver Bayonet] pool! Received the pool's hard-pity reward: one [Vanessa's Good Morning Kiss]!” The pull announcements abruptly stopped. Everyone in the gacha hall turned to look at the man who had pulled [Vanessa's Good Morning Kiss]. Before him, a “girl” with an elegant figure and such exquisite features that they could burn away one's mental stats stepped down from the air. He wore a deep red, elaborately crafted antique dress and a bonnet sewn all over with lace and frills. Golden Roman curls drifted in the air around him. Like Alice fallen into a dream, he was both innocent and dazzlingly beautiful. He slowly opened his eyes, revealing pupils the color of red diamonds. “Good day, dear employer,” Veronica said, performing a graceful curtsy in midair. “Please accept Vanessa's good morning kiss.” With that, Veronica took the man's now-stupefied head in his hands, lowered his own, and pressed a soft kiss from lips as tender and red as pomegranate seeds to the side of his face. From then on, revenue from the [Veronica and the Silver Bayonet] pool reached an unprecedented, terrifying peak. Players poured their lifetime savings into a pool with no guaranteed character. They realized that even if they couldn't pull the permanent right to use the “Veronica” card, the pool's milestone rewards and other hard-pity prizes were all the more tempting to spend money on. Before long, the auction house in the trading market was packed with requests to buy Vanessa-related items. “[Buying at a high price] Veronica's lace panties. Whoever pulled them, whoever pulled them, there are only ten in total. Who took my wife's panties? Give them back to meeeee!” “[Paying a fortune] Veronica's thong. Big budget. I'm the head of a top guild, and our guild can offer every member's marriage savings. Only buying from someone with a pull record.” “...” [Disclaimer]: Baby Wei is a repeatable card. Pulling him doesn't mean no one else can use him. (But there's only one Baby Wei, so several men may end up fighting over one Wei.) Baby Wei's pool is brutal, and only pseudo-limited. It gets reruns from time to time, and you can pull trial cards for him in the standard pool. Baby Wei can't take care of himself. He's hired a more-than-two-meter-tall absentee butler (a nonhuman wearing human skin). The baby doesn't like walking, so the butler carries him under one arm. If he gets covered in blood and it won't wash off, the butler has to wash him anyway. There may be a lethal amount of forum-style chapters. As always, all the men are virgins, and, unusually, our precious baby is a virgin too. But there will be some explicit content around the edges, as little rewards in Baby's card pool and affection system. Theme: Love Baby Wei.
