Cherreads

Chapter 8 - Kamen Rider

After earning a whopping 4870 points from her DGP run (including defeating Buffa, Geats, and the Jyamato Fortress), Firefly debates whether to spend it on Path Power or try her luck with the gacha system.

She gives in to temptation and rolls a 10-pull for 1600 points.

Results: 9 blue items (mostly quirky character-related junk): March 7th's jewelry Himeko's coffee (still warm!) Fu Xuan's socks (with scent…) Silver Wolf's game account Trailblazer's trash can 1 gold item: Blessing of Abundance

She's stunned. The gold pull is exciting, but the item description is ominous:

Blessing of Abundance

Deploys a phantom of the Healer Aeon to bless a planet.

Warning: Blessings are given, consequences not covered.

Basically: "You get the blessing. What happens next? Not our problem."

Still curious, she rolls again—another 1600 points.

Results: 9 blue items (again, socks and game accounts…) 1 purple item: Herta Doll

Firefly is frustrated. The loot is weird, repetitive, and borderline creepy. She wonders if the system is stealing items directly from characters.

"Did you rip these off their bodies?!"

The system denies it—unconvincingly.

 Chapter 14: The Doll That Can Fight (Sort Of)

Firefly examines the Herta Doll, hoping it might be a remote link to the real Herta, the genius of the Blue Planet and #83 of the Genius Society.

If she could summon Herta, she'd have a powerful ally against the DGP, the Creation Goddess, and the future data beings.

But no luck. The doll is just a BJD-style replica, not a conduit.

"Then what can you do?"

The doll responds:

"I have basic AI. I can assist with simple tasks and join combat."

Firefly tests it. The doll's combat ability is… modest. It can handle low-tier enemies and even dismantle a city if needed, but it's nowhere near Aeon-level.

Still, it's cute. And mildly useful.

She's amused and slightly disturbed by the gacha results. She's eager to face stronger enemies—like King-class Jyamato, Apostles, and advanced Riders (Geats IX, Gold Fox, Black Fox). She hasn't even tapped into SAM's full power yet: Molten Engine, Supernova Overdrive, and the iconic line:

"I will ignite the sea!"

She's ready for the next world. But first… maybe one more pull?
