I'll definitely have to figure out what to do with those skill points as I go forward but maybe stacking could be smart. That was my original plan to begin with so that I can get higher skills when I level more.
It feels a little odd that I adapted so quickly and accepted the system so fast but I couldn't help it. Something like this is a once in a lifetime opportunity so it'd be dumb of me to turn it down.
Everyone at Shardsteps is looking at him with a confused expression on their face since no one has ever seen someone win so much.
It would probably be best that I leave for the time being since it's probably uncommon for someone to win so many times. I'll definitely have to go to a few more places when I get my luck up even more.
The wonders that more money will do for me is definitely worth it but I've got to see what else I can do with this system. There's definitely a lot more to it than it's showing right now.
Levels, that's important to remember with how these old things work. I'll get better the more I level up the system so I need to keep doing that.
He quickly exits the arcade and looks around the area, taking in the beautiful streets of the city before him. Lots of people were wandering around, advertisements about heroes were playing with a few different promotional pieces.
This was the average view for the city of Mithos, a city protected by a great deal of heroes. There will always be villains who lurk in the shadows as well but they haven't been seen around in a long time.
Heroes usually deal with them pretty quick, especially the higher ranking heroes.
I wonder what that girl is even capable of doing with her rank being 3rd of all the possible ranks. I didn't expect to encounter someone with such a high ranking but I guess she is human after all.
A lot of those heroes get caught up with the fame of it and eventually fall into the traps set by companies. I don't know the specifics of them but I do know they have some powerful people within the companies that help with managing the heroes they contract.
It's quite an interesting way to handle it all.
Tap. Tap. "Gambling your money away Mr. Saito. Haha." Her familiar voice chuckles from behind him as she taps his shoulder.
Fumiko, the girl I met over at the park before this all happened to me. Would it be better to call her Fumiko or Celeste? I feel like she liked me calling her by her name since everyone refers to her by the hero name.
"I actually won a bit, aren't you supposed to be some busy hero?" Saito jokes as he tries to keep a calm demeanor.
I haven't really gotten to lucky in the past with girls so it's kind of nice that one wants something to do with me. I doubt it's anything to do with my looks though since it's not like I'm not a good looking guy.
But then again wouldn't someone who's unattractive say that?
She chuckles and then smiles once more. "My hero stuff is done for now, or at least until someone needs me again." She responds politely.
I'm curious why she bothers talking with me though, it's not like I'm anything special. Sucks that I didn't have favorable impression when I first talked to her but it doesn't seem like I'll need it with her.
She is quite pretty, her green eyes definitely could steal my heart any time— wait why am I letting myself get so distracted by her like this? Smack. Smack. He smacks his hands on his face a few times while she just stares at him with a confused expression before laughing.
"Everything okay Saito?" She asks with a slight chuckle in her voice.
I'm so dumb, why would I do that in front of her like that?! "Yeah I'm fine, just waking myself up more." Saito answers with no confidence in his voice whatsoever.
At least she seems pretty happy with talking to me... Even if I'm a bit stupid with some of the things I do or say. I really do wonder how much the rankings matter to heroes themselves or at least heroes like her specifically.
She doesn't seem to be too worried about it, even though she's just talking with some random person. I'd be worried about rumors spreading around if anything.
I feel like the reputation of all heroes is important but maybe I'm wrong since I don't pay attention to it all. I'm sure things have happened that caused issues or people got involved that shouldn't have.
That happens without heroes in the mix to begin with so it wouldn't be that surprising.
She looks towards a distant shop. "Want to come get lunch with me? Would be nice to talk a bit more." Fumiko asks as she waits in anticipation for his answer.
I don't see why it would be a bad idea for me to go to lunch with her, not like there was anything else on my schedule for today anyway. There's no other quests active for me to complete right this second either.

I would've gone without a quest but at least there's some sort of incentive for it now. If I can use this to get stronger with this system then I'll happily take the quest too.
A date with a pretty girl like her and I get rewarded by the system for it, this feels heavenly.
"I'd be happy to join you." Saito says with a bit more excitement than he expected.
Ahhh shit I didn't mean to seem that excited about it but she doesn't seem to be bothered by that.
