Chapter 33: Beginner’s luck
"....." frёewebηovel.cѳm
"....."
Both Nova and Liya fell into a stunned silence after the final spins. Even Liya seemed momentarily speechless. Nova had hoped for something good, but he never expected to pull two powerful skills in a single batch.
Finally, Liya broke the heavy silence.
{I didn’t expect you to pull two such powerful skills on your very first gacha session...} Her voice carried clear surprise.
{Considering this is your first time, it might be beginner’s luck. Or maybe you don’t realize just how stingy the System Gacha usually is. Most people spend thousands of keys and walk away with nothing. Yet you got two high-ranking skills with only 90 keys... and you still dared to call yourself unlucky?}
Nova remained quiet for a moment, letting her words sink in. Then a wide, satisfied grin spread across his face.
"You’re right, Liya. I really am lucky... Or maybe it’s because you’re sitting on my lap bringing me good fortune." His eyes sparkled with mischief. "I feel like kissing you right now."
{Heh~ Don’t flatter me,}
Liya replied, though her beautiful face lit up with a genuinely happy smile, making her look even more stunning.
{Because I won’t be giving you any discounts in the future, no matter how sweet you are~}
Nova sat quietly in the peaceful forest scenery , the soft sound of the flowing river and gentle rustling of leaves creating a calm backdrop. Liya remained floating just above his lap, her voluptuous body hovering teasingly close, her thick thighs and big breasts still drawing his gaze despite being virtual.
He stared at the glowing system panel, his mind racing with excitement and awe.
"Reality Override... and Voidborne Telekinesis," he murmured, eyes gleaming. "One S-rank and one A+ rank skill. Both feel terrifyingly powerful in completely different ways."
He leaned forward slightly, continuing his thoughts out loud. "Voidborne Telekinesis sounds like the kind of power I saw in movies back in my previous life... but I can already tell this is on an entirely different scale."
Liya let out a soft, amused chuckle, her mature voice wrapping around him like velvet.
{Hmph~ Don’t you dare compare this to those weak, fictional powers from your old world,} she scolded playfully, though her tone carried clear pride.
{This is true Voidborne Telekinesis. At higher levels, it can tear space apart, bend reality to form invisible barriers, and crush or manipulate things down to the molecular level. Of course... you’ll need much stronger control and a far higher level than you currently possess to reach that kind of power.}
Nova listened intently, his expression turning serious as he carefully read through every line of the new skill descriptions. His fingers twitched unconsciously, imagining the destructive potential.
"And Reality Override..." he whispered, a thrill running down his spine, "this one is outright broken. It doesn’t just create illusions it forces an entirely new reality onto the target. They would feel pain, emotions, memories... everything as if it were completely real."
{Exactly}
Liya purred, clearly pleased by his reaction.
{It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say this could become one of your strongest trump cards. If used at the beginning of a fight, you could seize total dominance before your enemy even understands what’s happening.}
She leaned in closer, her virtual breath brushing against his ear even though she couldn’t truly touch him.
{But let me give you a clear and serious warning, my sweet Host...} Her voice dropped slightly.
{You won’t be able to use either of these skills at their full potential until you become significantly stronger. If you face an opponent whose level and aura vastly surpass yours, these skills may fail to work properly... or worse, they could backfire on you.}
Nova nodded slowly, his expression calm yet resolute as he stared into the gentle flow of the river in the illusory forest.
"Of course, my lovely System," he said with a soft, sincere smile.
"I would be a fool if I thought these powerful skills suddenly made me overpowered. I know exactly how deep underwater I still am... and just how far I need to swim to cross this vast ocean."
His voice carried a quiet maturity, showing that despite the excitement of his new abilities, he fully understood the harsh reality of his current position in this dangerous world.
The weight of his words lingered in the peaceful forest space, a clear sign of his growing wisdom.
Liya, still hovering just above his lap, looked at him with a pleased and slightly surprised expression. Her beautiful mature face softened into a gentle smile.
"Okay... now show me my profile. It’s been a long time since I last checked all my skills and stats."
{Here you go!}

=====================
"With this, I now have three S-rank skill and one S+rank skills, not to mention my SSS-rank Innate Skill," Nova said with a satisfied smile spreading across his face. A sense of genuine accomplishment washed over him as he sat in the peaceful forest illusion. "I’ve truly made some solid progress."
{You have,} Liya agreed softly, still hovering just above his lap. {Though you could make them even stronger if you combine them using your Fusion Skill.}
"Yeah... I know," Nova replied, nodding thoughtfully. "I’ll do that later. I need time to carefully consider which skills to fuse together to get the best possible results. Besides, I also have some items I need to refine and sell once we reach the city. Let’s handle all of that properly after we get back."
"Anyway... how much time has passed in here?" he asked.
{About two hours,} Liya answered promptly.
"Hmm..." Nova narrowed his eyes slightly, recalling the special function of the System Training Space. "You told me earlier that time flows differently inside here. How much time has actually passed outside?"
{Around four minutes have passed outside,} Liya answered calmly.
"Hmm... that’s much less than I thought," Nova muttered, slightly surprised by the time difference. He stood up slowly, stretching his body .
Liya floated up from his lap with clear reluctance. A small, adorable pout formed on her beautiful mature face, showing her slight disappointment at having to leave the close, intimate position.
Even though she was virtual, her expression looked genuinely sulky, which only made her look more charming.
Nova noticed her reaction and couldn’t help but smile faintly. "So... how do I get out of here?" he asked, looking at her.
