Kojima Ren stood on the rooftop of his crumbling Tokyo apartment building, gripping the rusted railing as the world ended around him.
It was supposed to be another ordinary, empty day. At nineteen, Kojima lived alone in a tiny, messy unit. He had dropped out of high school two years ago after the train accident that killed his parents and little sister. He survived only because he overslept that morning. The guilt still weighed on him like chains. Since then, he worked part-time at a nearby convenience store, ate cheap meals, and spent nights playing gacha games on his phone the only thing that made him feel anything.
Now, the ground violently shook. Buildings groaned and cracked. The sky turned an unnatural deep blue. Entire sections of Tokyo tore away from the earth and rose into the air. Kojima's building lifted with a deafening roar, leaving the ground far below, swallowed by thick swirling clouds.
His rooftop had become a small, barren floating island barely fifty meters wide drifting silently above an infinite, lightless Abyss.
A cold mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
[Ding! Welcome to the Sky Dominion System.]
[Earth has merged with the Sky Realm.]
[Billions of Players have been selected.]
[Claim your starter island. Survive the Abyss. Conquer the skies. Ascend.]
A blue holographic screen appeared in front of him.

Kojima stared at the numbers. He was weak. Just a normal guy with slightly above-average intelligence from all the novels and games he consumed. His luck had always been terrible in real life… until now.
A low growl came from the edge of the island. A wolf-like monster with leathery wings and glowing red eyes climbed up, claws scraping concrete.
Kojima stepped back, heart racing. He had no weapons, no fighting experience.
The System voice rang again.
[Ding! Beginner Gift received: One Free Gacha Orb.]
[Would you like to use it now? Yes / No]
"Yes," Kojima said quietly.
The orb appeared in his palm — a swirling rainbow crystal. He crushed it.
Golden light exploded across the tiny island, blindingly bright.
[Ding! You have awakened the unique SSS+ skill — Eternal Max-Luck Gacha!]
[Your luck is permanently maximized at 999.]
[Every pull guarantees at least SSR rarity or higher.]
[The Gacha can grant anything — beautiful servants, soul entities, god-tier skills, resources, islands, bloodlines, and even the impossible.]
[Ding! Performing your first 10-pull on the Beginner Banner!]
Ten golden cards spun in the air. The winged wolf froze mid-leap as if time had stopped.
The cards flipped open one by one with dazzling effects.
First card:
[SSR+ Servant :Sylphira, the Flame Empress!]
Crimson flames erupted. A stunning young woman appeared long silver hair flowing like liquid metal, golden eyes, elegant crimson robes hugging her graceful figure. Flames danced gently around her fingertips.
Sylphira knelt gracefully. "Master… I am yours. Command me as you wish.
Second card:
[EX Soul Entity: Elara, the Eternal Advisor!]
A soft azure light bloomed inside Kojima's chest. A graceful, ethereal voice spoke directly into his mind, warm and soothing.
"Hello, Kojima Ren. I am Elara. I now reside in your soul. I will always tell you the best possible decision. I will analyze every risk and opportunity perfectly and help both of us grow stronger and more successful. You are not alone."
Kojima placed a hand over his heart. The presence felt comforting like someone who truly cared.
Third card:
[SSS Skill :Aerial Dominion Authority!]
[You can now merge nearby floating islands and expand your territory at will.]
The remaining cards showered him with more rewards: rare sky-crystals, defensive barrier blueprints, basic resource packs — all at least SSR.
The winged wolf broke free and charged.
Elara's voice spoke calmly in his mind:
"Command Sylphira to burn its wings first. It is the safest and most efficient move. Trust me."
Kojima nodded. "Sylphira — burn its wings!"
The Flame Empress raised her hand. A precise wave of fire surged forward. The wolf's wings ignited. It howled and crashed down.
Sylphira finished it with a clean flame slash. The monster dissolved into glowing particles.
[Ding! You have killed a Rare-rank Sky Wolf.]

Kojima exhaled slowly, looking at the new numbers. His body felt slightly stronger, but he knew it was still nothing compared to real threats.
Sylphira stood beside him, golden eyes watching with quiet admiration. "Master, you remained calm even in danger. I am happy to serve someone like you."
Elara spoke gently inside his mind.
"Your luck is truly extraordinary, Kojima. Most Players only received Common or Rare rewards. You gained an SSS+ skill, an EX soul entity, and an SSR+ servant on your very first pull. We can build something safe here. Let me guide you. Step by step, we will turn this tiny island into a stronghold… and then something far greater."
Kojima rubbed the back of his neck, a small, tired smile appearing.
"I'm just a normal guy who got insanely lucky today. Thank you… both of you."
He looked out at the endless sky. Other floating islands drifted in the distance. Distant screams and monster roars echoed through the clouds. The Abyss below seemed to swallow all light.
For the first time in two years, the heavy guilt in his chest felt a little lighter. He wasn't alone anymore.
Elara's voice returned, soft but confident.
"First, use Aerial Dominion Authority to check for any nearby small islands we can merge. Then we should build basic defenses before night falls. The clouds hide many dangers… but with your luck and my guidance, we will succeed."
Kojima nodded. For the first time since the accident, he felt something close to hope.
The sky world had just begun — and his quiet rise as the Max Luck Sovereign was starting right here on this tiny floating island.
