Chapter 83: Lottery
The Sea was calm, and we were just days out from our destination. I was fishing o the side of the boat, looking into the sea as I had developed a habit of doing. My thoughts were lost when I decided to start looking at the system while no fish were biting.

I decided to do something I hadn't in this life so far. Gamble. The lottery in the system was a big question mark to me, and I remember when I was a baby, the package I got making me a high Magical bunny-kin was a great asset. I decided I would go big or go broke. I was going to do nineteen tries before I would revisit it.
I took a deep breath of the salty air before I started and opened the lottery panel. I had been meaning to do this for a bit and had put it off. I always thought of the lottery as a poor man's tax—gambling as hope within a hop disdaining upon it. I still do the thing in this world is light on different entertainment types, and Gambling became one of them. I know about it but never sought it out.
I wonder what type of games they play?
I started the lottery spins with that in mind.
--
Congrats, you have received Nothing better luck next time.
--
I laughed to myself that I got nothing the first time around. I knew it would happen, but... It was nice to know I was right? I told myself nineteen tries, and I will go with that. I took another deep breath of the salty air and continued.
--
Congrats, you have received A Pretty Pink Necklace
--
"...." My mouth was open wide as I saw the first 'Win' on the lottery. What the fuck do I need a Pretty pink necklace for? Whatever, I will give it to one of my women... That reminded me of something, though, and my face paled. When have I ever given any of my women gifts?
I thought about it more and realized that I have never given them gifts of any kind other than my children. This wasn't good, and I would have to do something to change that. I started listing off things in my head while working the lottery more.

After I finished doing the lottery, I was happy with my decision, I think. I got some weird things, I thought. I opened the Anal Training to see what It gave.
--
You have opened the Anal training package.
-You have received anal beads x4 of various lengths and beads sizes
-Butt plugx7 of various lengths and sizes
-Strap on harness
-Dildos 5", 7", 9" ,10", 12"
--
I giggled as I saw the butt plugs and know a very lonely hole these could fit into in the near future. I saw the Strap on and looked over in the background as two Sailors were spit-roasting a loudly moaning bitch boy. I think the strap on will please Rose too. I pulled out the Pretty Pink necklace, and I had no idea who to give it to.
I said I would give it to my women, but it was an over the top necklace with a giant heart in the center. It was laid with many jewels, though, making it valuable. I pull out a box from my inventory, putting it inside while I think about it. I didn't want the girls to know that I plan to give them each a gift until I finally figure out what I will give each of them.
I opened the Stats packages next.
--
Congrats on opening a Stat Package you have received:
- Regeneration Stat candies x2
- Wisdom candies x1
- Free point allocation candy x3
--
My eyes widened in surprise. The Wisdom candies in stores were huge prices. They were so much that I didn't want to pay for them. The amount was just not worth it. I found as I researched and learned I could increase my Wisdom. The candies were useful, but I found I never really felt different.
I know, though, that I was told to be one of the biggest geniuses or prodigies on the continent when it came to alchemy and enchanting. I wasn't sure what to make of that, but it is what it is. Alchemy was like cooking for me. Precise science that only needed the right tools. That brought me to look at the Alchemy package. It was rare, and I wanted to open it.
I then noticed a bite on the fishing line and reeled in the fish, dumping it into the bucket. The pause cooled my head down, and I decided to have the candies first.
--
You have Taken the Wisdom Candy. Spin the wheel.
--
I spun the wheel and watched it move. I held no hope for a high number since the board was so skewed in favor of the smallest numbers. I was proven correct as it landed on the fourth largest cut of the wheel, giving me four more wisdom. This was why I would not purchase the Wisdom candies. It was so expensive for such a minor boost. Maybe I should wait longer with the candies?
It hit me fast, and I realized just like with my Level up candy. There no point in using them now. Use them when I am at such a high point that it would be more worth waiting. These candies were investments in their own rights. Each, no matter what point I am at, will increase that stat point. If I wait until I'm in an emergency or can no longer bring it up myself, I should use it.
The higher the stat points, the more system points it takes to purchase. At some point, it will become harder and harder to bring up my stats. If I wait till later, these will become worth more and more like cashing in stocks.
The problem with that theory is that if I die or something else, they essentially become worthless. I wonder if these candies work on others as well? My mind started to run with the possibilities. I took the Free point allocation candies, though. I could store them or, more importantly, dump them into the one stat I cant raise on my own, Luck.
--
Congrats, You have Earned 5 Free Allocation Points

--
Congrats, You have Earned 2 Free Allocation Points

Congrats, You have Earned 1 Free Allocation Points

I looked at the diminishing amount frowning. It was worth it all the same, but I knew at some point I would spin a one. No probability stated that I had been fortunate not to hit it more. I promptly dumped the free stat points into Luck. I did so even while spinning. I think I picked an unlucky day to be doing this now that I thought about it...
I started to realize that I only caught one fish today on a clear day like today. I felt my instinct cry out the more I thought about things today. I checked my Status as my thoughts roamed.

I nodded, expecting as such. I contemplated how to increase regeneration before I took the candies. My instinct yelled at me, though. I just felt it in my bones, and I closed the system. Something was wrong; I knew it. Something...
I moved over to the captain and talked for a bit. The captain had been thinking the same thing. I looked around the deck, and most of the sailors were fine, but I noticed a couple of them were on edge. They were looking around as if we were about to be under attack. This stood out more and more. I went and told each of my women privately to get ready in case the battle broke out.
We almost at our destination, making this a weird spot to be attacked if they were going to. The feeling didn't leave as I carried my Arcane staff with me, watching the seas. The feeling grew, and more and more of us started to feel a creeping dread. I looked over to the deck to notice a couple of sailors dumping bitch boy into the cabin.
It made sense as the rest of us knew something was going to happen. The bitch boy will make a great outlet after a battle for pent up feelings. My feelings toward him remained the same: disgust and disdain. I couldn't care less about him, but I will admit I didn't want him to die. I let it go and watched it around. That growing sense of dread irked me.
Where did this feeling come from when the captain spoke out. "Ghostship... It has to be a ghost ship." He muttered to himself. My eyes opened wide, surprised. "PREPARE FOR BATTLE GHOST SHIP!" The captain announced to the sailors. Swords were drawn, and mana on the ship started to fluctuate as people prepared themselves.
Nothing was in vision, and the day was sunny.
Then it happened. The wind stopped the galley's slow movement would have to go to oars to move. The captain didn't have time to order it when a fog as if brought in by strong gale came in. I felt the mana in that fog, knowing someone cast it. Then out from the sea, it came. A Galley using oars arose from the sea near us.
My nerves spiked as I saw seaweed and dying fish flop around on their boat.
"Contact!" I yelled out, ready for the battle about to begin.
