[Ding!
Avenger triggered.
Obtained 1 free attribute point.] Hearing the system notification sound that he had already heard over a dozen times, Kenma was long accustomed to it, lacking the initial excitement of obtaining attribute points.
Just as he was about to assign the free attribute point onto his status screen, a system prompt that had never appeared before suddenly sounded.
[Ding!
Detected that the individual who killed the host is a major plot character, Reinhard Van Astrea.
Killed by a key character for the first time, bonus reward granted.] [Ding!
Congratulations to the host for obtaining one system gacha.] [Ding!
The Gacha module has been unlocked in advance.] Huh?
Kenma was somewhat stunned, staring in shock at the blue screen floating in front of him.
Getting killed by a major plot character grants bonus rewards?
Analyzing the recent system prompt, Kenma wasn’t quite sure what it really implied.
If he were killed by Reinhard again, he probably wouldn’t get another bonus reward.
On the other hand, if he was slain by a major plot character other than Reinhard, he might get another bonus reward.
But he couldn’t be sure right now, he still needed to test it out.
Kenma had always been a man of action who acted as soon as an idea struck, especially when he could rewind time and try again.
He decided to hold off on using the gacha for now and go see what was happening, using Reinhard for another experiment.
In this loop, he strictly repeated everything he did in the previous cycle to prevent any unexpected changes.
Unsurprisingly, while fleeing, that short guy with a mushroom haircut still desperately shouted for the guards.
Immediately following was Reinhard’s appearance.
Kenma defended himself as before and proactively launched an attack, forcing Reinhard to draw Reid to guarantee safety.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The instant his fist collided with the glowing sword, as expected, Kenma exploded once more.
Reinhard stood frozen on the spot, a sense of confusion flashing through his heart.
Why did he feel a sense of déjà vu?
As if all of this had already played out before.
Since Kenma’s actions in this loop were identical to the previous one, down to his very words, Reinhard instinctively caught a fleeting sense of anomaly.
But he only caught that strange feeling, even he couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was off.
The next instant, the world reset.
…
[Ding!
Avenger triggered.
Obtained 1 free attribute point.] Kenma waited a few minutes and found that no further system prompt arrived, immediately confirming his hypothesis.
Indeed, he could only get the corresponding bonus reward the first time he was killed.
Being killed a second time by the same key character only granted the standard free attribute point.
Allocating both attribute points into Defense with a thought, Kenma opened the system’s Gcaha module.
Right at that next moment, a massive wheel materialized in his mind.
A bright red pointer was fixed right in the center.
The rewards in each sector were shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see the details, while a small line of text was written below.
[Current Draw Count: 1] [Reward Tiers: Third Prize, Second Prize, First Prize, Grand Prize] [Start the draw?] “Start!” At Kenma’s command, the massive wheel in his mind began spinning at high speed.
The pointer remained fixed at the center pointing upward as section after fog-shrouded section swept rapidly past.
Kenma had no idea what reward he would get, he didn’t even know what prizes were available.
After spinning like this for a full dozen seconds or so, the wheel began to slow down until it finally stopped at a sector occupying one-tenth of the wheel.
[Ding!
Congratulations to the host for winning Second Prize: All attributes increased by 100%] How much?!
Hearing this reward, joy surged in Kenma’s heart, though it was immediately followed by a natural hint of disappointment.
Pity he didn’t hit the First Prize or Grand Prize.
If a Second Prize was already this absurd—doubling his base stats outright—just how insane would the First Prize and Grand Prize be?
Returning his focus from his mind, an unprecedentedly massive surge of heat burst from within his body, spreading through his entire frame in an instant.
Sitting on the stairs, he shivered as a warm, comforting sensation flooded his senses, making him feel as though he were soaking in a hot spring.
But this pleasure came fast and vanished even faster.
The warmth and comfort disappeared, replaced by pain surging over him.
The massive enhancement of his body caused his muscles to repeatedly tear and reform, every aspect being destroyed and rebuilt anew.
Kenma nearly collapsed to the ground, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain seated steadily on the stone steps.
He trembled uncontrollably from the agony, sweat poured down his forehead onto his cheeks, and his fingers dug deeply into the stone steps below, drawing blood.
After a while, the pain gradually ebbed away.
Kenma let out a long breath and stood up.
The moment he engaged his muscles, he felt a stark difference from before.
Light.
Way too light.
Taking a couple of casual steps, he felt as if his body had turned into a feather, completely effortless to control.
Not only that, but his five senses had also been immensely enhanced.
The normal conversation of a couple nearly a hundred meters away reached his ears clearly.
Glancing casually, the veins of green leaves tens of meters away were distinctly visible in his eyes.
As for Strength and Defense, without a reference point for now, they couldn’t be clearly measured.
[Name: Isoyama Kenma] [Gender: Male] [Strength: 40 (Normal adult male is 5)] [Speed: 14 (Normal adult male is 5)] [Defense: 18 (Normal adult male is 5)] [Spirit: 20 (Normal adult male is 5)] [Magical Talent: Extremely Weak] [Swordsmanship Talent: Mediocre] [Passive Skills: Avenger, Return by Death, Crisis Mitigation] [Evaluation: Placed among ordinary people, you would be a very powerful existence.
Even in this chaotic other world full of monsters, your base stats are enough to make you a decent powerhouse, though there is still a massive gap between you and the top-tier powerhouses.]
