"Watch out!"
Benjamin looked up from his phone and saw a truck coming right toward him. He could easily step back and avoid it, but the girl in front of him wasn't paying attention and was walking leisurely. At this rate, the truck would crash into her.
Benjamin gritted his teeth. He leaped forward and tried to push the girl out of her way, but alas, it was too late. The truck crashed into them both.
It hurts, Benjamin thought. He felt faint and was starting to lose consciousness. He could hear the truck driver talking.
"Shit. Boss, I accidentally isekaied an extra one."
"It's okay? Alright. Yeah, I'll get the other one too."
"What? Use the new method this time? But we always used Truck-kun before."
"Okay, yeah, my bad. Don't worry, don't worry, I'll get it right next time. There's no way to fail with the new method."
Am I hallucinating? That was the last thought Benjamin had before he fainted.
...
"Look, honey, it's 2 beautiful baby boys!"
"Let me hold them, dear."
Hearing voices, Benjamin opened his eyes. He saw a middle-aged man and a woman looking down at him. Where am I? Who are these people?
"Your majesty, I'm ready whenever you are," an old man in black robes said. "It'll be quick."
Benjamin was handed over to the old man. The old man put a crystal ball in Benjamin's hand, and soon, it glowed with a bright, blue light.
So bright, Benjamin thought. It was blinding to him.
"Water affinity," the old man said. "A high water affinity."
"This can't be! Water affinity!? In the House of Virelle!?" the woman screamed.
"That can't be right!" The middle-aged man yelled. "Wait! Check this one! Quick!"
The old man put the crystal ball into the other baby's hand, and soon, it glowed with a bright red light. "Congratulations, Your Majesty. High fire affinity."
"Hahaha!" The middle-aged man laughed. "That's my baby boy!" He raised the baby up high in the air, delighted. "As for him. Send him into the snowfields. Let him freeze to death. Relay my words. Today, the queen gave birth to our only son, William. He will be the crown prince."
Wait, what!? Benjamin was shocked. He never would have thought that he'd be killed just for having affinity with water magic.
"Your Majesty-"
"Stop. I have made up my mind. Now go," the middle-aged man interrupted.
"Yes, Your Majesty," the old man replied. He took out a scroll and tore it up. A magic circle appeared underneath them, and soon, they were gone.
When they reappeared, they were surrounded by snow.
"Sorry, kid. I don't want to do this either, but orders are orders," the old man said. He placed Benjamin on the ground, took out another scroll, tore it up, and disappeared.
It's so cold, Benjamin thought. The cold, snowy winds made him close his eyes. Am I going to freeze to death? Am I going to die the moment I'm reborn? I must be the most unfortunate reincarnator ever.
[Ding. Host found. Gambling system activated.] A voice sounded in his mind as a translucent screen appeared in front of him.
'System? I'm about to freeze to death here. Can you do something?'
[Nope. But you have a newbie starter pack waiting to be opened. Maybe there's something in there that can help you.]
'Open it.'
[Ding. You've opened the newbie starter pack.]
[Ding. You've obtained the Frost Spirit Heart.]
[Ding. You've obtained 10,000 gold coins.]
[Ding. You've obtained 50,000 points.]
[Congratulations, host! Your Frost Spirit Heart increases your body's resistance to the cold. You've survived!]
Indeed, the moment he obtained the Frost Spirit Heart, Benjamin felt much less affected by the cold, and he stopped shivering. 'Thanks, but I'm still going to die soon if someone doesn't come by soon.'
[Don't worry, host. Someone is very near you.]
"Eh?" As soon as the system finished speaking, a female voice sounded. "This is... the Frost Spirit Heart?"
Benjamin opened his eyes and saw a beautiful woman with long, white hair, wearing a beautiful white dress. She bent down and picked Benjamin up. "I was right. This is the Frost Spirit Heart."
The woman was quite surprised. The Frost Spirit Heart was extremely rare, and each one who had the Frost Spirit Heart was extremely talented in ice magic.
"Did no one want you? It's okay. From now on, you're my child," the woman smiled gently.
Benjamin was moved. I can finally live!
[Host, why don't you take this time to get familiar with the system?]
'Oh, that's right. The system. What do you do?'
[I'm the gambling system. In other words, I'm here for you to gamble! There are 3 types of pulls: normal, super, and ultra. For one normal pull, you need 180 points, and 1440 for a normal 10-pull. You need 1200 points for one super pull and 8640 for a super 10-pull. And lastly, for an ultra pull, you need 7200 points, and 43,200 points for an ultra 10-pull.]
[There are 7 types of rewards: white common, green rare, super rare blue, epic purple, red mythic, gold legend, and rainbow divine. A normal 10-pull guarantees at least 1 green reward, a super 10-pull guarantees that each reward is at least green, with at least 1 blue reward, and an ultra 10-pull guarantees that each reward is at least blue, with at least 1 purple reward.]
'The heck is 1440? Can't you just make it 1500 or 1400?'
[Sorry. No can do. I don't make the rules.]
'Not even 1500?'
[Nope.]
'So how do I earn points? Completing missions?'
[Yes. In addition to missions, you will earn points passively. You earn 1 point every minute, and you can earn points by signing in every day. The longer your sign-in streak, the more guaranteed points you earn for each sign-in, with the max being 1000 points guaranteed at a 30-day streak. If you miss a day, you will have to start over. In addition to the guaranteed points, you may also earn a random number of points or some other rewards.]
[Every time you reach a certain number of points obtained, you also get a certain number of points and a random number of points for reaching the milestone.]
'A gambling system indeed. Even the sign-in and milestone rewards are a gamble. By the way, do you have a shop?'
[Yes. Though I think it's better for you to just focus on gambling since the shop items are quite expensive. By the way, you have 50,010 points. Would you like to do some gambling?]
'Right. How many pulls can I make?'
[You can make 34 normal 10-pulls, 5 super 10-pulls, or 1 ultra 10-pull.]
'Let's do an ultra 10-pull.'
10 bright balls appeared on the screen in front of him: 1 red, 8 blue, 1 gold.
[Ding. You've obtained super high ice magic affinity.]
[Ding. You've obtained 100,000 gold coins.]
[Ding. You've obtained a storage ring.]
...
[Ding. You've obtained the Snow Crown gear, added to your magic gear.]
'Magic gear?'
