Lucian stared at the blue window that was floating in the air for a full minute, trying to make sense of what he was seeing.
"Bikini... Warriors...?!" Lucian was shocked reading those two words.
The system only let him gacha bikini warriors, and of course all of the bikini warriors are girls.
"Okay, wait a minute," he said out loud, his voice breaking a little. "Let me get this right...
"I died, came back to life in a fantasy world, and now my gacha system can only bring women in bikinis?"
The system helpfully opened another window.
[Correct! Your soul's karmic signature and personal preferences are what make your restriction unique!]
"The FUCK do you mean personal preferences? I never said I wanted this!"
"Well, even though it's still good for my eyes and brain..." Lucian muttered towards him in a low tone so that the system couldn't hear him.
[Browser History Analysis: 78% of searches contained keywords related to attractive female characters in revealing attire.]
[Top searches include: 'sexy anime warrior with big tits and ass', 'bikini armor on a milf', 'hot sexy fantasy girls with big tits and ass', and 'why do JRPG women wear so little clothing that it makes me hard all the time?'.]
"OI! OI! OI! STOOOOPPPP!" Lucian screamed, with his face so red that he was sure he could fry an egg on it. "T-T-That was for research purposes, alright?!"
[Research noted.]
[Additional data: 340 hours spent browsing image galleries of female game characters. 89% featured minimal armor coverage.]
[You are dead. Privacy rights do not apply to the deceased.]
"I fucking hate you so much right now." Lucian facepalmed.
[♡]
He felt like the system's happy heart emoji was making fun of him. Lucian groaned and sat down on the bed, covering his face with his hands.
"This was a bad dream that you'll always get on a fever... wait... no, it was worse than a nightmare because you never woke up from it."
He suddenly sat up because he had an idea. "Wait... hold on a sec."
The history of his browser. If he was in a new world with a new body, he might be able to get rid of it.
Perhaps there was a way to restart the system's analysis and get rid of this embarrassing limit.
"System," he said carefully. "Is there a way to, um... refresh your data?"
"Like... maybe do another scan or something?"
[Negative. Soul imprint analysis is permanent. Your preferences have been encoded into the fundamental structure of this system.]
"AH FUCK! Goddamn it!"
[However, Host should not feel ashamed! Many powerful warriors throughout history have worn minimal armor for maximum mobility and intimidation factor!]
"Armor doesn't work that way, genius!"
[The system disagrees. Bikini armor in this world is enchanted with powerful defensive magic that far exceeds traditional full plate armor. Logic is irrelevant when magic is involved.]
Lucian opened his mouth to say something, but then he closed it again. In a silly fantasy world, that made sense.
He had read enough light novels and played enough games to understand that magic could create inconsistencies, and he also recognized that when a woman wears minimal clothing, it likely indicates she has a high defense.
He sighed, "Hahhh... fine!"
"Okay... so I can only gacha bikini warriors, and what else do I need to know?"
The system responded right away. He saw many new windows appear in front of him, all of which were full of information.
[SSS Gacha System Guide]
[Currency: Summon Orbs - Crystalline spheres containing concentrated magical energy. Throw one into the sky to perform a summon.]
[Current Balance: 1 Summon Orb (Beginner Gift)]
[Rarity Tiers:
Bronze (Common)
Silver (Uncommon)
Gold (Rare)
Rainbow (Epic)
SSS (Legendary)]
[Drop Rates:
Bronze: 70%
Silver: 20%
Gold: 8%
Rainbow: 1.9%
SSS: 0.1%]
Lucian's eye twitched. The drop rates were worse than in most of the gacha games he had played.
"One percent for one goddamn SSS rank!? That was pretty much a scam on so many levels that you're probably going out of service in a week!"
"Are you really going to charge these rates?"
[Host's luck stat is currently: EX rank.]
He blinked. "Ex rank...? What does that mean?"
"I thought SSS is the highest... title novel wise."
[EX rank luck is the highest possible tier. It exists outside normal ranking systems. Essentially, Host's gacha luck is blessed by fate itself.]
[Compensation for your previous life's terrible fortune.]
Lucian sat there, reflecting on what he had just heard, particularly about his luck at the EX rank. He felt incredibly fortunate to have achieved EX rank.
He had never pulled a single SSR in any game in twenty-seven years, but now he had the best gacha luck.
He felt a mix of emotions, torn between laughter and tears. Shaking his head in disbelief, he couldn't quite comprehend his newfound fortune.
"Okay... so in this second life, I'm lucky now!" Lucian can't stop smiling after hearing that.
"What about the warriors I summon? How does that work?"
There were more windows popping out to answer his questions.
[Summoned Warriors Information]
[All summoned warriors are permanent additions to your roster. They cannot die, but can be incapacitated if critically injured. They will regenerate over time.]
[Warriors start at base power level but can be strengthened through various methods:
[Training - Regular combat practice and skill development]
[Equipment - Providing better weapons and accessories]
[Bonding - Building trust and intimacy with Host]
[Evolution - Special conditions may allow warriors to ascend to higher forms]
Lucian stopped when he heard the word 'intimacy,' and something awoke in his mind that was not a good thing.
"Wait...!? Bonding...?! N-No fucking way...! Does that mean I will have some kind of intimate bond with them at some point?!" Lucian starts fidgeting while talking to himself in his mind.
"T-There's no way, right!? I can't even talk to a woman, but still... it's my first step to becoming better at this second life that I can't waste anymore!"
"I—I need to be better!"
Lucian starts slapping both his cheeks. "Okay! What does 'bonding' mean, exactly?"
[Bonding increases through positive interactions, shared experiences, and physical intimacy. The stronger the bond, the more powerful the warrior becomes. Maximum bond level: 10 Hearts.]
[Methods to increase bond:
Conversation and emotional supportFighting together in battleShared meals and activitiesPhysical contact (hand holding, embracing, etc.)Intimate relations (most effective method)]
For a moment, Lucian's brain short-circuited. "Hold on now... hold on..."
Lucian takes a deep breathe. "Are you saying... that I CAN have... s-s-sex with them to make them stronger?"
[Not required, but highly recommended! Intimate bonding provides significant power boosts and unlocks special abilities. Think of it as limit breaking in traditional gacha games!]
[And of course not all gacha games have that option to have sex.]
"Oh my god..." Lucian already knew that this system was going to be something that he really wanted. "This system is fucking insane... and the best!"
[This system is perfectly designed for Host's needs!]
[Remember: your goal is to stop being a pathetic virgin! This provides excellent motivation!]
