MCU: Daily Gacha Pulls With The D.A.S.I.S

CHAPTER 2

-

The first thing I did after drinking that Butterbeer that I got—'And, woah, it was really good.'—was to use the extra $50 in my pocket to get a gym membership. With my new body enhancement, I would have the potential of a One Piece character in terms of bodybuilding.

Have you seen Garp? Case closed.

Walking around Forest Hills was a weird experience. I'm so familiar with the place, being able to maneuver around the place even though I had never stepped foot into the US before. It's like déjà vu in a sense; having another set of memories is weird.

Don't get me started with school. Ugh. I had already graduated high school back then and was studying in college, just to end up back in middle school, where puberty and hormones are the main cause of drama for a few years.

Derrick was an introvert, like me, so he had no friends. I kind of dig the antisocialism; who needs friends when you have future powers to play with, am I right? But that just paints a target on my back for the top dogs of the school. At least I wasn't getting bullied as hard as Peter Parker was; the dude was getting hammed on by Flash Thompson.

Now that I was on this subject, Peter Parker's appearance. In the MCU version of Spiderman, Peter was played by Tom Holland, a perfect cast in my opinion. But in reality, the Peter Parker that I know looked more like a young and scrawny Charlie Rowe.

Moving on, it's been a full week since I Isekai-ed into this world already, and I already have another 5 LP stored up.

To be honest, things were really boring since there was some downtime between world-ending events. Between brain-numbing classes, going to the gym for the build gains, and learning how to use the Mishima-Style Karate in said gym, things were quiet.

At least I get some prep time to get ready for anything that could happen. Besides, with my current abilities that were lacking any oomph, being a hero is basically asking for a death sentence. So, I needed more upgrades.

"Come on, gacha, please give me something good! I don't care what you give me, but please let it be useful to have fun with!"

I prayed with Specialist blasting in the background before commencing the hell that is gacha pulling.

===========================================

I opened my mouth to complain only to close it once I read the descriptions of some items on the list.

===========================================

Japanese Men's Hakama (Misc.) - [E]

A durable hakama made in Japan with high-quality materials. Durable and resistant to tears and cuts, it is perfect for martial artists who get into frequent fights.

===========================================

Bell of Silence (Final Fantasy) - [C]

A small silver bell found in the Mysidia Cave. With a shake of the bell, anyone in a 10-meter radius other than the user will not be able to speak or cast verbal magic spells for 3 seconds.

===========================================

Ring of Evasion (Dungeons and Dragons) - [D]

A magic ring that allows the user to instantaneously move to a location within 5 meters in sight with a single thought. This magic ring has an activation cooldown of 10 seconds per cast of its instant movement magic.

===========================================

Soap (Misc.) - [E]

It's just a bar of good soap. Smells and cleans good. Just remember to not drop the soap, or else...

===========================================

Holy Shroud of Martha (Fate) - [C]

A shroud used to wrap the remains of the Saint who tamed an evil dragon, Martha. Rumor has it that when worn around the fists, the wielder will be blessed with monstrous strength that can pierce even a dragon.

===========================================

Pencil (John Wick) - [E]

A pencil wielded by the Baba Yaga during a desperate moment in time, using it to subdue three men in a bar. It is still perfectly usable, though some blood will leak from its ink cartridge at times. 

===========================================

Harpie's Feather Duster (Yu-Gi-Oh) - [A]

A feather duster in the shape of an actual feather modeled by a Harpie's feather. It will destroy any magic or trap that your enemy controls as if it had never existed in the first place if touched by the feather duster's hairs.

===========================================

... It was decent, overall. No, scratch that; it was amazing!

A ring that can act as short-range Shunpo from Bleach, a holy shroud that can increase my strength to the levels of a Servant, and a feather duster that's basically a FU to magic and traps. My luck was good today.

"Thank you, RNGesus, for blessing me with these pulls."

Quickly praying to the god of gacha himself, I quickly took out the items from my inventory to see.

The Japanese Hakama felt really nice in my hands; the silk and cloth that made the hakama were comfortable to the touch. It was black too, my favorite color. I tossed it into my closet for the future before moving on.

The Bell of Silence was tiny, the shape of a little house key. There was a strap that was tied to the bell for easier access to its abilities. I didn't activate the bell by shaking it, though; I don't want everyone in a 10-meter radius around my apartment to suddenly be silenced. That's just begging for S.H.I.E.L.D. to notice.

The golden Ring of Evasion fit my ring finger perfectly. There must be some kind of enchantment to shift its size or something. Let's see... The description says that I just have to think to activate it—

(FWWWWM!)

My body suddenly jerks in a direction as my world suddenly shifts from my bedside area to the apartment door in an instant. Inertia and momentum kick in as I propel forward to the door without any means of stopping myself, slamming onto the door with a loud THUD! before dropping onto the ground like a sack of potatoes, moaning in pain.

"My back..."

Getting up from the ground, I massaged the growing bruise on my back as I noticed that the ring lost its golden color and was now silver in color. A few seconds later, it reverted back to gold. That's an indicator of the ring's cooldown ending, I presumed.

Sinking into my couch in the living room, I ignored the pain in my back as I moved on to the other items.

The bar of soap was just that. A bar of soap. It did smell heavenly, though, lavender scent too.

The Holy Shroud of Martha came split in half, which made it easier to wrap the cloth around both my hands from my knuckles all the way to my forearm. As soon as I finished tightening the holy shroud onto my arm, the cloth lit up in a hue of purple as I FELT AMAZING!

HOLY SHIT! MY BODY IS BRIMMING WITH POWERRRRRR!

Getting up from the couch, I moved to grab the leg of my bed frame and pulled. Miraculously, the bed frame floated in midair with my arm holding onto the bed frame like it was nothing! Gently laying it back down, I decided to wait a moment to see if there were any drawbacks to this holy shroud.

... Nothing. Holy moly, this Holy Shroud of Martha changes a LOT of things. And I haven't even gotten to the main attraction of this week's gacha.

The Harpie's Feather Duster was exactly like the description says it was. A literal large feather the size of a short sword. It was light as a feather—'Hah! Get it?'—with a comfortable grip that makes it easy to hold.

With the Holy Shroud of Martha and the Harpie's Feather Duster, I can swipe the air with Harpie's Feather Duster at high speeds with my enhanced dexterity. I am basically immune to magic attacks and traps that I can react to. Eat your heart out, Touma!

Wow, this session was super fruitful. Thank you, RNGesus, for this gift.

Though, I'll have to store the holy shroud and the feather duster in my inventory for now. The holy shroud will increase my physical strength by 10 times. That means that my power wouldn't increase unless I train in my normal base form. And for the feather duster, I have no idea what to use it on, so it is staying in the back burner until there's a use for it.

Alright! Time to hit the gym again even if it's almost turning to night! The gacha was good today, especially with the Holy Shroud of Martha, so I'm fired up to get stronger!

(GROWL...)

"Hungry..."

Slight problem in our hands; I don't even know why, even though I've already eaten a breakfast meal meant for two, my stomach was still growling in hunger.

Closing my locker and turning the dial to screw off its combination to lock it, I placed the book I just grabbed into my armpit to free up my hands as I started thinking about my problem, ignoring my stomach for now since it was still in the morning.

And due to this problem, another one arises. I was broke, well, about to be if I continued this. My account was already below what I'd like, but it's just been a week, and I've already spent two weeks worth of allowance.

Ouch. I had to resolve this somehow, or else I'm screwed financially...

Oh. Huh. My hand scratches my chin as I think about it further.

I kind of have an idea that involves the gacha.

But damn it, must everything important rely on my luck to work?

Ladies and gentlemen, my bank account is officially in the red. I have a total of $2.71 left in my account, but it was fine since I have enough stuff to survive for another few days. It's been another week, and that means more gacha to pull.

This time, I actually prayed to not get fantasy items and weapons that would save my butt in combat. I instead asked the gods to bless me with whatever I can get my hands on to be able to be sold at somewhere like a pawn shop or something.

Note: I had to run around the city, going into all kinds of places that worship the gods, like the church, a Buddhist temple, etc., to pray for some good luck, something I desperately lacked, honestly.

Rubbing my palms together, I took a deep breath, kowtowing to the gods before pressing on the button to start the gacha.

===========================================

"Holy shit!"

I yelled, getting up from the ground as I examined the gacha items that I had just obtained, only to tilt my head in confusion after realizing something.

"There's only 6 items?"

Suddenly, the screen went black when suddenly a blue blur zoomed past the screen. My confusion shifted to shock at the realization as the blue blur continued to zoom across the screen until it slammed into the "camera," shattering the glass of its lens.

"Ah crap, Sally's gonna nag at me if I don't fix this."

Picked up by a pair of worn white gloves from behind the camera, the screen is flipped as the iconic blue hedgehog revealed himself.

"I wonder if Tails has a way to fix this—Oh, it's recording. Sup!"

Giving a grin, the screen fades to black once more before the gacha item is displayed.

===========================================

S-RANK ITEM!

You have received:

• Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic) - [S]

===========================================

"... YESSSS!!!"

I screamed at the top of my lungs at the reward, uncaring if my neighbors complained.

"HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THIS IS INSANE!"

I said, laughing with excitement at the first S-rank gacha item!

And what I needed too! I had some forms of combat prowess, a powerful body that'll grow stronger than any human being on Earth, and now... Wait, what did I get, exactly?

I quickly opened the description of the reward to see what I obtained.

===========================================

Nugget (Pokémon) - [D]

A nugget of the purest gold that gives off a lustrous gleam in direct light, sized at 1 inch in diameter. You can sell it at a high price anywhere; just be sure to make up an excuse of how you obtained it.

===========================================

Movie-Travel Ticket [1 WEEK] (???) - [C]

A ticket that allows the user to travel across dimensions to any fictional movie world listed {...} for a specific amount of time. Just note that a month's time will be an hour in your main world.

===========================================

Flask of Crimson Tears x5 (Elden Ring) - [B]

A sacred flask modelled after a holy chalice, once graced by a tear of life. Filled with crimson tears, the user can use it to heal even the most gruesome wounds as if it were merely a flesh wound.

===========================================

Physical $50 USD (MCU) - [F]

It's just a $50 bill. Nothing more, nothing less.

===========================================

Shattered Crucible 1/3 (DOOM) - [C]

Weapon of the Doom Slayer, powered by Hell energy. Used to neutralize the likes of Titans, the famed Crucible of the Doom Slayer is broken. Find the remaining pieces, and maybe you can be as cool as him.

===========================================

Arkphone 13 (MCU) - [E]

It's just an iPhone 13 reskin with the symbol of the Stark Enterprise's logo. It runs faster, though, so maybe there's still hope in this world.

===========================================

Sonic the Hedgehog (Sonic) - [S]

The Blue Blur, the Blue Wind, the de facto leader of the Freedom Fighters, and the World's Fastest Hedgehog. Being the fastest thing in the universe, he can basically do anything a speedster can.

The user gains Sonic's super speed that can instantly accelerate to the speed of sound, along with enhanced durability and strength to be able to handle the extreme speeds. 

===========================================

Oh, baby, this is amazing. Instantly accelerate to the speed of sound? That's DC Flash-levels of speed.

... Wait a second, how do I use this skill, though?
