Shou Chronicles

[Gift 2. Spin]

[You won an exclusive Unique item Wheel of Luck !]

Seeing the notification, let alone Chang Qi, every person on the earth will kill for this item. The Item Description said,

[Item Name: Wheel of Luck Grade: Celestial (Unique)

Description: The Wheel of luck has 10 parts. Once it is spun, it has

25% chance to get 10% luck gain,

22% chance for 20% luck gain,

12 % chance for 40 % luck gain,

3% chance for 80% luck gain,

2% chance for 90% luck gain,

1% chance for 100% luck gain.

Note: It refreshes for every monster.]

Looking at that description of the item, Chang Qi went mad with happiness. What this item meant was that whenever he kills a monster, be it a boss or a normal monster, he will have additional luck for the drops. That means, high quality and quantity drops. Who wouldn't wanna kill for an item like this?! By looking at this second item, Chang Qi thought one thing, rich becomes richer and poor becomes poorer in almost every scenario. By this Wheel of Fate, he could easily recover his 50 Million Jin!

He made his mind calm down with great difficulty and said calmly to the system, "Next gift please!"

[Gift 3. Spin]

[You won the Ultimate Gift, an exclusive Mysterious Legendary Unique item Trishula of Shiva !]

FOR REAL? ..........

He was blank for a whole minute before he could even think. HE friggin got THAT ULTIMATE GIFT!! How could he be so calm? He felt like he should shout and shout till he is out of breath. But unfortunately this was a game, moreover he was in a closed space. He just kept all his excitement inside and checked the Ultimate Gift.

[Item Name: Trishula of Shiva Grade: Mysterious Legendary (Unique)

Description: Trishula of Shiva is a very mysterious item. The stats of the weapon will depend on the wielder. This mysterious weapon has nine visible slots. It can only fit certain legendary orbs called Lingams.

Note: Stats will be visible once equipped. Once equipped, it will be bound to the user and will not drop after death.]

It's a legendary item and not much is known? Wow… I hope it is as good as it says it is.

Seeing the description, Chang Qi felt a bit down, he thought that he was somewhat swindled. But it is in the end it is a mysterious legendary item, breaking the balance of the game from the starting.

After 5 minutes of all this ups and downs, he said with a hint of excitement, "Next Gift please"

Till now his luck was good so he thought he was on a win streak. But…

[Gift 4. Spin]

[You won Nothing…]

Wow… Nothing… Damn… seems like I flew too high, and I came crashing down.

He got nothing. Seems like his discontent with the ultimate gift got to him, and his luck changed. Greed sure brings everyone down. He realised that and slowly said, "Next Gift please."

He still had hopes that he would get another legendary item. He spent 50 Million Jin, so it should be worth…

[Gift 5. Spin]

[You won Nothing…]

Again??!? Kill me please…

He looked so pathetic, he himself didn't knew what the hell was going on with him and his luck. He felt that that Ultimate Gift drained all his luck down. He began to think whether he should open the gifts and get all the depression from the nothingness or he should just give up on them. What a dilemma?!

Should I even try to open the next one? Hope.. let's hope it at least gives me the lowest of the treasures. It's better than nothing. God, help me…

Slowly and dejectedly, he spoke, "Next Gift"

He even forgot to say please. He was so lost. Then, when he expected another Nothing….

[Gift 6. Spin]

[You won a rare item Light of Beginnings !]

Phew. Finally I broke through that Nothingness. Damn, it's so scary. Let's see what this item is.

He felt a tinge of relief and looked up the item description.

[Item Name: Light of Beginnings Grade: Rare

Description: Light of Beginnings is a rare item. It is a light that is stored in a small bottle. Once the bottle is opened, the Light of Beginnings will escape. Take this bottle of light to village elder before leaving the Beginner Village and see your luck.]

It's good to have something than nothing. I'll see what this light will light in my way.

He felt better after that roller coaster crash. He thought that many people will get this item as it was not exclusive. He didn't give it much thought and moved on. He still had 2 more gifts. He was mentally prepared to get another nothing, and maybe another legendary. Let's see how it goes.

He said to the system, "Next Gift please". The decency he lost during the crash, came back. Seems like being humble always helps.

[Gift 7. Spin]

[You won a Legendary item Blood Drop of Christ !]

Hahahaha…

He was laughing with happiness. His 'maybe' came to life. He got another Legendary Item. People will be satisfied with one Legendary Item. But Chang Qi? He had 3! 3 is enough to make people kill him over and over in their dreams. Truly, not a hint of fairness. It seemed like fairness was a fairytale for the current world. Earth had a rich history of kindness and righteousness and many ancient books had a base principle of fairness/rightfulness, but this game didn't plan to adapt even a single bit of that heritage. It put all that heritage to shame.

Chang Qi didn't knew it now, but he will sooner or later come to know of a law which prevailed from the start of this Universe, 'The strong preys on the weak." Even though he is not a bad person, he is not kind-hearted either. He believes that if someone throws a stone at you, then you oughta throw a brick at them.

He looked up the stats of the Legendary Item.

[Item Name: Blood Drop of Christ Grade: Legendary

Description: It is said that there are only 9 Blood Drop of Christ in existence. These Blood Drops were extracted from the remains of Jesus Christ. These Blood Drops gives 50 points of innate attributes. It can be freely distributed as per the user.]

Wait what?!? 50 innate attributes? Luck truly came back…

He almost cried. These innate attributes must be hard to get. Or else this Blood Drop wouldn't be that Legendary.

Let's see their true value when I set my beginning stats. 1 more gift to go. Even if I get nothing, I am satisfied. The Wheel of Luck will bring my 50 Million Jin in few months.

He calmed down his excitement and finally said, "Next Gift please."

[Gift 8. Spin]

[You won an exclusive Unique World item Kill Treatise !]

Whoa World Grade? Never heard of that before…

As he was thinking, the sweet voice was heard again,

["Death Killer, you are the first person to get World Grade Item. World Grade and above items are extremely rare and scarce. When the first player leaves the beginner village, it will be listed in the 'World Items' list. After you leave the beginner village, every 2 hours, for a day, people will be notified of your position and if they are able to kill you then you will drop this item."]

What??? I haven't even seen the stats and I will be a target as soon as I step out of Beginner Village? What is this? Let me check the stats. It better be worth it, or I might just have to throw it away. I don't want to be the target of the whole world, at least not in the beginning.

He checked the stats,

[Item Name: Kill Treatise Grade: World (Unique)

Description: This is a Unique World Grade item. It is a scroll, which was written by the supreme being of this world who lived thousands, probably millions of years ago. It is unknown if he is alive or dead. Everyone in Shou World acknowledges his power and will acknowledge this treatise which was signed by his own blood. This treatise states that anyone who is in possession of this treatise is allowed to kill anyone anywhere, without any charges.]

Chang Qi's mind went blank again. This was a treasure among treasures for all the players. To kill anyone, anywhere, means the person who holds this can even kill in cities and the guards won't say a thing. Unless the guards are provoked, the city will watch in silence.

This is the meaning of true power. I will protect it until I die. This is freaking awesome….

He got all his gifts. He astonishingly got 4 Legendary Items at the cost of 2 'Nothings'. He was so happy. He was also happy at this broken system which allowed it to have this balance breaking items from the start. He sure had an upper hand when it comes to the beginner village.

Just as he was gonna say the system to proceed further, he saw a system notification come forth. Just by looking at that, Chang Qi's heart started to beat faster and faster.
