[ 1 months later]
Time has gone by fast—it's already been two months since I transmigrated into this world. During this time, I found out that the Guardians of the Globe still exists, which means the Omni Man hasn't acted yet. That's actually kind of a relief. So, I'm still in the period before the Canco Event even begins—which is good.
Since I haven't been allowed to go outside, I've spent most of my time learning various magic spells from Hogwads, mainly attack spells. The crazy thing I discovered while trying them is that all the magic I use is noticeably weaker than the original versions. That's both concerning and not concerning at the same time. I mean, I do have the Gacha, which will grow stronger over time—especially since I'm practically immortal thanks to Alucard Vampire heritage.
Speaking of the Gacha, I've actually gotten a lot of good stuff from it over the past two months.
Things I received from the Gacha include the Fire Keeper's Cloak, which was really strange—it didn't seem to have any magical power coming from it, but it was incredibly comfortable to wear. Another item I liked the most was the Battle Armor of Jeanne Alter. It was super cool to wear and surprisingly easy to move around in.
The last thing I got in the previous month was the Sword of Arondight yeah, that sword. The original "woman-hater's" blade. Kind of ironic, considering I'm using it now.
After all, I am a woman. Haha, I chuckled as I looked toward Grim, who was just lying there on the table, not saying or doing anything. He'd been acting like this for the past week—ever since our fight.
"You still angry, Grim?" I asked, looking at him.
When he didn't respond, I just turned around with a huff. There was no way I was going to admit I was wrong.
"Okay then," I said as I walked out of the room without looking back at him.

As I walked the streets of the city, I looked at the world around me—people going about their daily lives with a sense of security, as if everything would always be safe and protected. As if nothing would ever change, and nothing would ever threaten their routine. As if the Guardians of the Globe would always be there for them.
"How naïve," I said as I sat on the bench at the bus station. I'm lucky I don't have PTSD from bus stations after my death.
Looking around, a smile formed on my face—not one of happiness, but of sorrow. For the life I had lost. For the person I could never meet again.
Ever since I woke up in this body, I kept wondering: What happened to my mom? Is she alright? Did she move on after I... died? These thoughts haunted me, because I knew there was almost no chance of ever seeing her again.
No—there was a chance. A small, fragile little possibility.
But I didn't know if I wanted to take it.
Letting out a sigh, I stretched my hand out and opened the Gacha system—just to distract myself from all my negative thoughts.
After all, what's the best way to escape a downward spiral?
Gambling, baby.
Mentally pressing the "Yes" button, I stared at the Gacha roll spinning in the air.
To anyone watching from the outside, it probably just looked like I was blankly staring into space.
[[You Have Received: Item – Storage Ring]]
[Description]
Type: Item
Rarity: A+
Effect: Can store any item depending on the user's energy.The larger the item, the more mana required to store it.
Limitations: Cannot store living beings.
Hmm, nice one.This is a good pull, I thought, summoning the ring into my hand.
A sleek black ring appeared in my palm—it was cool to the touch and looked elegant, almost like obsidian.
This would be really useful. After all, I couldn't summon items from my inventory unless they came from the Gacha. But now? I finally had a way to carry and store items.
on to the next one I said as I look at the new thing will I get.
[[You Have Received: Sypha Belnades (Animated Series)]]
Ohhh...My eyes widened as the realization hit me. Sypha Belnades?!Her magic is top-tier. Like the fandom always says—"Her blood carries the family."
"A really good one," I said, a genuine smile forming on my face.
Alright. One more pull
[[You Have Received: Itachi Uchiha (Naruto)]]
I froze.Did… did I just pull Itachi?
"What the fuck?!" I shouted abruptly, jumping up from the bench I was sitting on. Naturally, that earned me several suspicious looks from the people around.
"Are you alright, miss?" a person next to me asked, giving me a concerned glance.
"Yeah, yeah—I'm alright. Never better," I said quickly, forcing a nervous smile as I tried to act normal.
Inside, though?
I was screaming.
This was one of the best characters in the entire series—and my favorite Uchiha. Why couldn't I be excited? This was the best!
Without wasting a second, I quickly opened the character assimilation screen and added both Itachi and Sypha to my power set.
As I was in the middle of the assimilation process, a sudden unease crept over me. My senses were screaming something was wrong. Something bad was about to happen.
And then it did.
A powerful red beam shot through the air, slicing just past me and obliterating the building behind me in a violent explosion of stone and flame.
I quickly turned my head toward the source of the blast—and there he was.
Kill Cannon.
One of the villains from the Atom Eve and Invincible, his canon still crackling with energy where the shot had come from. In his other hand, he was holding a wad of cash, probably from whatever chaos he'd just caused.
Two options flashed through my mind:Run away…Or cracking my knuckles and beat the ever-loving shit out of him.
guess which option I chose yeah.
I chose option two.
