I Became a 6★ Gacha Character

Han Se-ah proposed we head straight to the Magic Tower as soon as the morning sun rose.

If it had been anyone else, they would have likely suggested waiting for a message from the guild.

However, Grace, who viewed Han Se-ah as a genius witch, and Irene, who was always compliant, readily agreed.

Being aware that she was both a player and a streamer, I also stood up from my seat.

Breaking away from the flow of adventurers heading to the tower, we moved towards the Magic Tower.

A few mages milled about.

They were likely apprentices, enjoying their scarce holiday before coming to work in the morning.

"Why do you think the traces of a Full Moon Wolf appear on a Horned Wolf?"

"When we first saw it, the Full Moon Wolf was moving in a pack with the Horned Wolves. While Horned Wolves do have some wolf-like similarities, they aren't monsters known to move in packs."

Grace began to softly explain, sticking closely to Irene who didn't know the situation as well as we do.

Irene has a somewhat timid character with a soft voice, while Grace, on the other hand, is quite eloquent and relaxed, so they match well together.

Han Se-ah was chatting lively with her viewers.

Thanks to her explaining the progress of the quest to them, I was able to overhear and keep track of the situation.

"We'll probably get a shortcut to the 10th floor if we receive a quest to track the Full Moon Wolf at the Magic Tower. Hmm? Tell Roland to invest in real estate? Wow, you're... quite clever... Judging by the realism, you could probably make some money if you set up shop next to the gate?"

Once a player reaches the 10th floor and begins hunting Horned Wolves, Chapter 1 of the main scenario opens.

The quest is to hunt a certain number of Horned Wolves.

Following this, Chapter 3 involves hunting Horned Wolves on the 10th floor and tracking down a 'Horned Wolf of the Full Moon Wolf's Pack' among the countless Horned Wolves.

This is the content of the main scenario our party has progressed through.

It wasn't particularly difficult to understand, so it seems the viewers understood perfectly.

"Of course, you would need to know the location of the gate... I wonder if any viewers will succeed in setting up shop after watching my stream. But can you buy land and buildings with the money from hunting Horned Wolves on the 10th floor...

"How much grinding would it take to get that kind of gear?"

We eventually arrived at the Magic Tower.

Today's receptionist, who seems to have received advance notice of our arrival, approached us as soon as we entered.

"Are you the mage Hanna and her party?"

"Yes, I'm Hanna."

Like last time, Han Se-ah was led upstairs after receiving the guide's instructions.

As for Grace and Irene, the two of them sat at a table, continuing their discussion about the Full Moon Wolf.

Grace's voice, eloquently explaining various aspects, captivated Irene, who was hanging onto her every word with her small mouth slightly ajar.

"My goodness, you really experienced something amazing."

"Charlotte?"

Next to Irene, who was listening to Grace's eloquent storytelling, sat the pink-haired young lady, Charlotte.

She knew that Charlotte was both a mage and an adventurer, but we didn't expect to cross paths with her at this hour.

Her maid Mari, with her dark blue hair, pulled out a chair and swiftly sat down as well, naturally joining the conversation between Irene and Grace.

The social gap between Grace, an adventurer from a rural village, and Charlotte, a noble young lady, was bridged by Irene, who acted as a buffer between the two.

"But Charlotte, what brings you here?"

"It's because of the Full Moon Wolf you were discussing."

"Oh, you're already here?"

As the conversation was winding down, Han Se-ah descended the stairs with perfect timing.

Seeing Charlotte sitting at the table didn't seem to surprise her, maybe the mages had something discussed among themselves already.

Just as I was thinking about it, Han Se-ah, who joined the table, went straight to the conclusion.

"When we go hunting the Full Moon Wolf, Charlotte here will join us."

"What?"

"Huh, why?"

Why would Charlotte, who already has a hired tank and a maid rogue, join our party?

With such questions in their eyes, Grace and Irene turned to Han Se-ah, who continued to explain.

"Charlotte isn't joining our party alone, a few parties of mages designated by the Magic Tower will also join us. There was a pack of Horned Wolves present when the Full Moon Wolf showed up, and the mages wanted to investigate the anomaly themselves," explained Han Se-ah.

The statement that the mages desired to conduct the research themselves made the pair nod their heads in agreement.

Generally, mages are seen as eccentrics, so their willingness to venture into the tower was easily accepted.

Charlotte Cavendish took over from Han Se-ah, adding to the explanation, "Monsters escaping from the tower is an unprecedented event.

Not only the city's nobles but also the temple, which declared the tower a sacred space, have a keen interest in this.

The city of adventurers was created because of the tower, and it exists in its peculiar form due to the tower."

Typically, a city is born out of commercial development.

Unlike a fief where peasants labor under a lord, a city comes into existence with the growth of trade and markets.

The Guild is also a cooperative of merchants created for profit, including blacksmiths, carpenters, bakers, and innkeepers.

However, this world is a fantasy realm where mana exists and monsters roam.

Before blacksmiths, carpenters, or bakers, it was the adventurers who gathered first for profit.

Through mana, they possess direct power and can voice their opinions louder and faster than anyone else.

Adventurers gather at the tower, and merchants flock to the money spent by these adventurers.

The Magic Tower and the temple joined for research on the tower, but the rest of the city's population is there because of the adventurers, or more precisely, because of the magic stones and by-products from the tower.

The tower, although religiously declared as an unholy space, paradoxically plays the role of a mine that feeds the city's citizens.

If a mining city's vein dries up, all the miners become unemployed, and the city becomes a ruin.

Similarly, in the city of adventurers, if something goes wrong with the tower, all the adventurers become unemployed.

The economic impact would inevitably shake the lives of the citizens.

"The Magic Tower is trying to learn the Full Moon Wolf's abilities. It's the only monster so far that has the power to cross the tower's boundary, and it can even create a special field called the Night Plains. The Magic Tower plans to use this to create a teleport gate inside the tower."

"Wow, a gate?"

"Yes. There were requests from some of the mages at the top of the tower. To send supplies up, a large expedition is needed, but an expedition..."

"There's the problem of experimental materials and reagents getting ruined if they're not stored properly in time..."

Adventurers would benefit from easily conquering the tower and quickly transferring the spoils.

The Magic Tower, once it opened the gate, could make a profit from the fees and receive the steadfast support of the mages.

Although the stance of the temples was unknown, there was ample reason for the Adventurer's Guild and the Magic Tower to join hands.

When the shortcut appears, the players will simply think, 'Ah, this is convenient.'

However, for those living in the city, it's nothing short of a revolution. It's like having a highway connecting cities.

"So, what's the schedule?"

"Analysis is mostly done, so an expedition is said to leave at noon today."

"That leaves some time, then."

They had gathered early in the morning, so there was time to kill before noon.

One might wonder why they couldn't just set off immediately, but it was quite impressive that they managed to complete the analysis and recruit an expedition team within a day.

Of course, it's not as grand as it sounds when you say 'expedition.'

It's merely a group going to the 10th floor, made up of individual wizards hired or recruited by someone like Charlotte.

"We have some time left, why don't we go to the market? ...Oh, this is soft."

Grace, who had abruptly stood up from the table, naturally took Irene's arm.

Grace seemed to be trying to bond.

Seeing this, Han Se-ah also glanced at me before taking Irene's other arm.

No need to intrude clumsily when the three of them decided to go shopping.

I slightly nod, indicating they could go without me.

Noticing my gesture, Grace and Han Se-ah shared a gentle smile and nudged Irene.

"...Won't Miss Charlotte join us?"

"I have some research to do in my lab."

"You have a lab in the Magic Tower? It seems you've achieved quite a bit."

Thus, the one naturally left by my side is the pink-haired chatterbox, Miss Charlotte.

Her impression was very different looking back at our first few encounters.

"I'd like to have a personal conversation, would you spare me some time?"

Seeing her attitude, I was a little puzzled.

As she rose to her feet, she accepted assistance from her maid, Mari, who had silently approached. She then invited me to her lab.

Well well well... What happens at the lab?

3/4 Enjoy the chappy!
