  Ats quickly opehe Rank-B tickets and gathered more materials for building structures, as well as XP Orbs. Iingly, this time he received higher-grade ones, not just the usual Rare, but Elite-grade.

  He hadn't yet tried applying these orbs to any of his subordinates. Maybe after s everything out, he’d give it a go. There was so much to do at this early stage, and with this being just the sed day, he still had 12 days before the first wave of attacks would e.

  Well, I should have enough time, he thought. But that didn’t mean he could afford to rex.

  His system was an SSS-grade system—the Ultimate Gacha System. Knowing this was already a huge advahe system's power was undeniable, especially sidering how easily he had made progress so far.

  However, he also khat every Lord had their own unique system, and who knew what kind of variety and power they had. He couldn’t afford to be pt just because he had one of the best systems out there.

  No, he thought firmly. I o optimize everything in this short time.

  Ats moved on to open the first Rank-A ticket. The ticket spun in the air and burst into fmes, and from the ashes, a wooden box appeared, glowing softly with a green light.

  [You have received Rank-A Item: Everbloom Seed Packet]

  [A set of seeds that grow into pnts. These pnts tinuously produce fruit, flowers, or herbs, providing an endless supply of foredients for potions. Great for ensuring a steady food supply ical ingredient produ.]

  Seeds! Ats o himself, pleased. This was exactly what he needed, especially sidering how barren his isnd was. Dry, sandy soil as far as the eye could see. Though things had started to improve with grass and flowers sprouting, thanks to items he’d pulled from the Gacha, the isnd still had a long way to go.

  He gnced over at his two subordianding nearby.

  Edrik, seemingly reading Ats’s thoughts, bowed slightly. “My Lord, are those seeds meant for the isnd?”

  "Yes."

  "That’s surprisingly just what we need. I’d be happy to assist in pnting them. I have a bit of experien gardening."

  Ats smirked. “You seem to be good at everything, huh?”

  “I’m good at doing whatever it takes for my leader.”

  “Take it.” Ats handed him the wooden box. Edrik accepted it, bowing slightly before turning away.

  Karian turo face Ats. "My Lord, is there anything I do? Or should I help Edrik with the gardening?"

  “No, wait here. I might need your help with something else soon.”

  "Uood, My Lord."

  Ats quickly moved on to open the icket. The purple-colored ticket spun in the air, glowing green befently dropping to the floor. As it hit the ground, a magical circle appeared, glowing with energy. Slowly, a figure began to take shape from the green aura.

  He squirying to make out the details—was that a woman?

  The figure fully materialized, revealing a young womaed in a ‘w’ position on the floor. The first thing that caught Ats’s attention air of white rabbit ears standing tall atop her head. Her short, snowy-white hair plemented her ears.

  Her outfit was simple yet funal—shorts, sturdy gardening shoes, and a practical top, all covered in traces of dirt and soil, as if she had just e from tending to pnts. She blinked a few times before her gaze nded on Ats.

  [You have received Rank-A Character: Mira Springfoot - Blossom Reaper]

  The girl tio stare at Ats, tilting her head in fusion, her wide blue eyes sparkling with curiosity.

  "Hi," Ats greeted.

  "Hi…" the girl replied, fshing a wide grin. "Oh… I got summoned," she said, giggling.

  Her giggles grew louder as she looked down, her shoulders shaking with amusement. "Oh my, oh my! I almost thought my life was over, but nope—I got summoned!"

  She stood up, having to lift her head slightly due to her shorter height pared to Ats.

  "So, you're the one who summoned me? Hi, o meet you! I’m Mira, the genius gardener," she said, giggling again.

  "Hi, Mira. o meet you too. A gardener, huh?"

  "Yes!" Mira nodded rapidly. "I work with a hoe and fight using nature. I’m great at taking care of pnts, and I also love carrots—uh, you know, rabbits love them, ehe.”

  Ats nodded slowly, a bit taken aback by her energy.

  Right after I got the seed package, I summoned a gardener. Perfect timing.

  But surely she wasn’t just a gardener, right? This girl must have some bat abilities, especially if she had once been a fallen lord in her own world.

  Curious, Ats quickly checked Mira’s status.

  [Name: Mira Springfoot]

  [Level: 35]

  [Strength: 123 | Agility: 67 | Intelligence: 87 | stitution: 45 | Stamina: 98]

  [Job: Farmer & Rancher]

  [Garden’s Blessing (S) - Green Thumb (A) - Too Cute to Resist (A) - Charmiiator (B) - Perfect Carrot Finder (B) - Hoe Dance (B)]

  [Garden’s Blessing: Mira gains increased stamina and agility whenever she fights near pnts reenery. Her e with nature enhances her bat prowess in garden enviros.]

  [Green Thumb: Ability to make pnts grow faster ahier just by tending to them. Crops of these pnts mature twice as fast and yield more produce.]

  Ats nodded, satisfied. Garden’s Blessing and Green Thumb were exactly the kinds of talents he expected fardener like Mira. She’d be invaluable in managing the crops and ensuring the isnd’s garden flourished. But it was clear she wasn’t just about pnts—her bat abilities were enhanced when surrounded by greenery, making her a capable fighter in the right enviro.

  [Too Cute to Resist: Sometimes, her ess overwhelms oppos, causing them to hesitate for a moment. Unfortunately, this has no sistent effed is more distrag than useful.]

  Ats raised an eyebrow. Too Cute to Resist? He frowned slightly. "Not bad, I guess?" It could work as a kind of defense meism, catg enemies off guard—though it didn’t seem reliable. Still, her ability to make oppos hesitate could give her a small edge in tight situations.

  [Charmiiator: Mira has a natural charm and easily wihers in versation, makiiations and social iions flow smoothly.]

  Charmiiator, oher hand, leasant surprise. This meant Mira wasn’t just good with pnts—she had a talent for dealing with people as well. This might e in handy when managing the dynamic between his subordinates.

  Hopefully Manna doesn’t feel too intimidated by this overly cheerful girl joining the crew.

  [Perfect Carrot Finder: Mira has an uny ability to find the perfect carrots wherever she goes, though this talent serves no practical bat advantage.]

  Perfect Carrot Finder? Well, I guess that's useful... in very specific situations.

  [Hoe Dance: Mira's skill with her hoe allows her to perform a series of quick strikes in rapid succession, fog on oints. This talent enhances her speed and precision during attacks.]

  But Hoe Dahat was something else entirely.

  "So, she fights with a hoe?"

  Ats nodded after taking it all in. "Okay, Mira, wele to the party. This is the early phase of my Floating Isnd, and I'll need your help a lot. We've got a desert ndscape outside, but with the seeds we have, I'm sure you'll manage."

  "Whoa… hahaha… alright!" Mira responded enthusiastically. "Early phase is fun! We do a lot of exg things before the battles start," she giggled.

  Her lighthearted attitude toward the whole "Lords' battle" intrigued Ats. He couldn’t help but wonder—what rank had she fallen from in her own world?

  Soon after, Karian apanied Mira outside the Fortress, the bunny girl boung along happily beside him.

  "Hey, you’re so huge! Do you like carrots?" she asked, tilting her head up to look at him.

  "No, I prefer meat. But I do rabbits.”

  "Whoa… huh, huh, huh," Mira ughed, pretending to be startled. "Good to know, Mr. Dragon Warrior. My body’s mostly human anyway, so don’t get any ideas, okay?"

  "I said, I don’t like rabbits.”

  "Stop it, Mr. Dragon Warrior, you’re making it sound weird!" she ughed again, her voice filled with joy as they walked further away, their banter fading as they exited the Fortress.

  Ats took a deep breath as he prepared to open the Rank-A ticket.

  What will it be this time? Another on, a character, or perhaps another uem?

  ***

  (Author’s Note:)

  Don’t be fooled by Mira’s bunny ears—she’s got some serious skills.

  A "Hoe Dance" for bat? Yes, please! ?? Plus, those Everbloom seeds and her Green Thumb are exactly what this isnd o flourish.

  She’s more than just cute, though… I mean, Too Cute to Resist as a bat skill? That could cateone off guard, right? ?

  What do you think: Is Mira going to be an MVP on this team, or is she just here to pnt carrots? ent your thoughts below.
