The icket burned away, and suddenly, an object appeared, filling the entire room. What is this? Ats instinctively stepped back, giving the mysterious item enough space to fit. It was... a floating… k of nd?

  [You have received Rank-A Item: Aetheric Throne of Dominion]

  [A majestic throhat sits on a floating k of nd, summo will. It hovers a few meters above the ground and moves as the user directs it. The throne provides a protective barrier and boosts both defense and mana regeion.]

  Ah... a floating throne!

  Without hesitation, Ats stored the item in his Iory and stepped outside. Oside, he summohe throne again, and this time he could see it clearly—a small, floating piece of nd with a gra resting on top.

  He grabbed onto the edge of the floating ptform and jumped on top, settling himself into the throhe seat was incredibly fortable, with soft cushioning that made him smile as he sat back for a moment, enjoying the feeling.

  This is amazing, he thought. Now, how do I trol it?

  Using his mind, he willed the throo move, and to his surprise, the nd lifted smoothly, floating higher until he was above the Fortress. From his elevated position, he could see Mira, Edrik, and Karian gathered by the small pond. Off to the side, Manna was still sittihe tent, casually snag and drinking, seemingly ued in the otion.

  Mira was the first to notice him, her face lighting up with excitement as she began jumping and waving her arms.

  "My Lord! What’s that? That’s so cool! I try it?" she shouted from below, catg the attention of Edrik and Karian, who also looked up at him with curiosity.

  Manna? No, she didn’t even gnce his way—still not ied, it seemed.

  Ats grinned as he directed the floating nd toward them. The movement was smooth, and the dest effortless. He could feel how flexible and respohe throne was.

  Imagiting on this throne while everyotles below, anding my forces from here. How cool would that be?

  But then, ahought crossed his mind: Should I fight too?

  He remembered that he had awakened with what felt like a stupid talent back then. But now, he was a Lord.

  Maybe it’s time to improve my bat potential as well.

  "My Lord, that’s amazing! How did you get it?" Mira asked excitedly.

  Edrik gave a respectful bow toward Ats.

  "e, Mira, want to try it?" Ats asked as he stood up from the throne.

  "May I?" she asked, almost boung with enthusiasm.

  "Yes."

  With a gleeful ugh, Mira easily leapt from the ground to the ptform. "Woah… hahaha," she giggled.

  The ptform acious enough for others to stand on as well. Curious, he wondered just hoeople it could support.

  He sat ba the throesting an idea. "Edrik, Karian—e up here. I want to see how much weight this thing handle."

  Edrik and Karian nodded and effortlessly jumped onto the ptform as well. The floating nd didn’t so much as wobble or sink uheir added weight. It was incredibly sturdy, holding them all with ease.

  Satisfied, Ats guided the floating nd around the isnd, smoothly gliding above the terrain. However, he made sure not to venture beyond the isnd’s edge, unsure of what might happen if the throhe safe area. The description had mentio could float only a few meters above the ground, and he didn’t want to risk plummeting into the abyss below.

  After a few rounds of floating around the isnd, Ats's stomach rumbled. Am I hungry agaihought, slightly amused. It seemed like he was starting to settle into this new reality, especially since his magical fridge provided food on demand.

  He unsummohe throne, and Mira immediately returo the small pond, already busy with her hoe.

  Wait, does she already have a on? Or is that just a regur hoe? Ats wondered as he watched Edrik and Karian help her in the garden.

  Ats headed toward the tent, notig how Manna deliberately turned her face away as he approached. Ign the cold shoulder, he ehe tent, grabbing some snacks and drinks. He sat down in a camping chair nearby, not far from Manna, who still refused to look his way.

  "Hi.”

  "Don’t talk to me.”

  Still not friendly, huh? Ats sighed internally as he popped some dried fruit into his mouth and drank some water.

  His attention drifted toward Mira, Edrik, and Karian, whose versation carried clearly across the area.

  “Edrik... hey, you're doing it wrong. Don’t dig there! It’s not ,” Mira pined.

  “Oh, but this spot has a great view from the Fortress.”

  “No… hahaha, you clearly have no idea about gardening, do you? Hahaha.”

  Meanwhile, Karian was using his greatsword to dig, which caught Mira's attention.

  "Hey, Mr. Dragon Warrior! Are you sure using your on to dig is a good idea? Hahaha! Use your hands—that’s a dragon hand, isn’t it? Strong enough, right?"

  Ats couldn’t help but smile as he watched them. They were blending together with ease.

  Alright, with 10 standard tickets used and still 190 left, Ats was ready to tinue summoning.

  Let’s finish this! Who knows what iing things I’ll get ? He thought with anticipation, taking out another 10 standard tickets and tossing them into the air.

  The tickets floated up and spun slowly, revealing their colors as they desded—brown, brown, brown. e on, give me something good, he thought to himself. The icket shimmered—brown again. Then another, and another. Please, S-rank, please. Finally, one flickered purple before the rest returo brown.

  The results? Nine Rank-B and one Rank-A.

  Looks like I 't always t on hitting the jackpot, he mused, but shrugged it off.

  Without much dey, he started opening the Rank-B tickets, ready to see what they would yield.

  [You have received 20 Units of Mana Crystals]

  [You have received 50 Units of Iron]

  [You have received 5 Elite XP Orbs]

  [You have received 100 Units of Stone]

  [You have received 20 Units of Mana Crystals]

  Ats g the newly acquired skill sagic Missile.

  [Mage - Magic Missile]

  [Fires a homing magical projectile at a siarget. The missile automatically tracks its target, dealing moderate are damage upon impact.]

  It was the sed one he'd pulled, with the first being Fireball. But there was one issue... Why are all these skills fes? he wondered, gng at his team. None of them were mages, and he hadn’t summoned ah magic capabilities yet.

  Still, he shrugged it off and stored the scroll in his iory. Better to be prepared in case I summon a mage ter on.

  Now, with a bit more anticipation, he moved on to the Rank-A ticket.

  Let’s see what I get this time, he thought.
