27. Your luck has nothing to do with me
"Was it really more powerful than a dragon?" Arya was forced to inquire. Although she had heard Aoto state that before, after witnessing the destruction, she was able to believe him. To it, Aoto gave a head motion. John and Arya were still in a little bit of shock. In just one day, all of their worldviews had disintegrated. Their final worldviews were altered when they saw the destruction all around them. First came the new world, then came the introduction of technology and human progress and now this?
They found it hard to think that just one monster could cause this much harm. In contrast to how the dragon only used fire to scorch King's Landing, here it only took one action to totally obliterate everything.
"What happened to the monster?" John was forced to inquire.
"The monster is still very much living. You will not see him again in a very long time." Aoto answered.
"You mean the monster is still alive?" John believed they had killed the monster for forever, so why was it still alive?
"Of course it is alive. But don't go around asking about the monster around. The Hokage here had given a gag order on discussion of the monster." Aoto reminded them while grinning. The three tensed up at those words and swore never to bring up the monster again.
"You don't seem frightened when you mention that creature, do you?" Arya enquired after being able to discern Aoto's feelings.
"Hatred for someone who had been held captive for more than 500 years and used by mankind as a weapon? Why would I feel such animosity toward someone like that? I feel sorry for them." Added Aoto.
"Them? There are numerous creatures there?" John had no trouble interpreting what Aoto was trying to say.
"Yes, but you shouldn't be concerned. They aren't here and are scattered around the world."
"Are these creatures that old?" When Arya learned that the creature was more than 500 years old, she was astounded. Aoto made a head motion.
"You shouldn't fret about them, anyway. You three lack the strength and physical structure to compete with the area's true big leaders. Live a happy existence and keep doing the things you enjoy."
The three accepted the words of Aoto and after dinner Aoto took them to their rooms. Arya received one futon, while Hot Pie and John received a large apartment with two futons. Aoto set up his futon in his customary bedroom.
He still didn't go to sleep. Because of the upgrade, he had a new choice available to him. Prior to this, his only choices for selling were Weed and Mad Honey; however, he now had the opportunity to play the lottery ten times.
10 times he would roll the wheel, and from there he would get the chance to sell 10 items.
"System, I want to draw the lottery."
[
Welcome host to the system space..

Aoto was once more close to the white spinning wheel when he carelessly spun it fully. The wheel halted and pointed at one of the question marks after 30 seconds. From the left, the question mark disappeared, and something else took its place.
An item that only had a name and not the material. Until now from the two items that Aoto had got had the materials appear. For instance, when he selected the weed, the system only displayed the weed itself, not the name of the business that produced it.
But the system had for the first time displayed a business name to him. He nearly lost control when he saw the name of the business.
"System, come out. I am aware that this is a common theme in Chinese books, but right now I really want to battle with you."
[
The host's spirit serves as the system's anchor. The mechanism can only be damaged by the host dying.

"Fuck you"
He was furious because Victoria's Secret was the name of the business that appeared. Now, it's possible that the many ignorant dudes who spent their lives in a cave didn't understand what it meant. This is a lingerie brand famous all over their world. They were most likely one of the most well-known lingerie companies in the world he had just left. Since its founding in 1977, this business has dominated the market for stylish lingerie. Only recently due to controversy relating to their business ethics, cheaper alternatives and other factors did the company lose some brand value in the market but even then this company had always been known for their flamboyant style.
Because their intimate apparel appealed to both men and women, this lingerie company became quite well-known. Men naturally loved to see their women wearing such provocative clothing, and women loved that such lingerie could seduce them into donning it.
This led to a market boom for this company. Aoto was upset just for this reason. Both the brand and the real provocative lingerie stores didn't exist here. Whatever the women wore were extremely private. Such names would undoubtedly raise some eyebrows because the society was still somewhat antiquated.
Aoto was certain that if he opened a side store selling such apparel, he would be shunned.
"You really want me dead. Don't you?" Aoto yelled.
[
The system only wishes well for the host. Its the luck of the host that wants him dead.
]
"Shut up! My luck is fine."
[
The host died by a meteor. Does the host really believe that he has the most outstanding luck.

"..."
Aoto decided not to bicker after getting trolled by the system. He was furious and rolled the wheel once more, this time using both hands and his entire body force to roll it because he refused to accept that his fate was the worst.
The question mark was then changed to an item, just like the previous occasion. This was a medicine and at first Aoto was happy that it was a modern medicine. But as soon as he read the label, he tossed the object to the floor.
