Raeshan stared at the transparent system window floating in front of him.
[Common-Grade Lottery Ticket x3]
He asked, "System, I want to use a Common-Grade Lottery Ticket. How do I use it?"
The mechanical voice answered calmly.
[Answering the host's question. You can use the system lottery function.]
"Oh? You have a lottery function? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Raeshan said with a laugh.
"…."
Raeshan requested the system to open the lottery function.
A new transparent window appeared before his eyes.
[System Lottery Function]
Common-Grade Lottery x1 — 100 SP
Common-Grade Lottery x10 — 950 SP
Uncommon-Grade Lottery x1 — Unavailable
Uncommon-Grade Lottery x10 — Unavailable
Lottery Tickets Available:
Common-Grade Lottery Ticket x3
"Damn it. This is daylight robbery. How am I supposed to get so much SP?"
Raeshan cursed when he saw the prices.
"Thank God I have lottery tickets."
"System, use one Common-Grade Lottery Ticket."
A golden light enveloped the transparent window, and a lottery machine appeared.
[Common-Grade Lottery Ticket x1 has been used]
The lottery machine glowed brightly, and the prize was revealed.
Ding~
[Congratulations, Host. You have won: Ice-Cola Drink 1L]
"What kind of reward is this?" Raeshan frowned. "What am I supposed to do with ice-cola?"
"…."
Without waiting for an answer, Raeshan used another ticket.
[Common-Grade Lottery Ticket x1 has been used]
Golden light flashed again, and the prize appeared.
Ding~
[Congratulations, Host. You have won: Common-Grade Manga "Element Mage Accession"]
[Host has unlocked Common-Grade Manga "Element Mage Accession"]
[Host has obtained 200 copies per volume]
["Element Mage Accession" manga: 600 copies added to system inventory]
A series of system notifications flooded his mind.
"Finally. A manga I can sell."
Raeshan was ecstatic.
"Element Mage Accession… I have never heard of this manga before," he thought.
The mechanical voice responded.
[System store and lottery are connected to the multiverse. Manga comes from worlds across the multiverse.]
"Oh, that sounds cool," Raeshan said with excitement. "That means I have access to manga from all over the world."
"System, use my last Common-Grade Lottery Ticket."
[Common-Grade Lottery Ticket x1 has been used]
Golden light flashed once more.
Ding~
[Congratulations, Host. You have won: One set of cute maid outfits (Loli Edition)]
"Haaa?! What kind of nonsense is this?"
Raeshan exploded in anger.
"Maid outfits? Loli edition? Do you think I look like a lolicon?"
He was extremely displeased with the reward.
The system replied calmly.
[Answering the host's question. Yes.]
Raeshan was dumbfounded.
"That is pure slander," he said stiffly.
[Host, we have your past life data.]
Raeshan fell silent after hearing the system's cold reply.
"...."
Afterward, Raeshan stood up and began arranging the manga on the bookshelves.
He placed Element Mage Accession, Volume 1, all 200 copies neatly onto the shelves.
Once he finished arranging the manga, he walked toward the back of the store to the staff room to take a shower.
Half an hour later, he returned from the washroom.
"Ahh… it's been weeks since I last took a proper shower."
Raeshan felt completely refreshed.
He changed into the newly obtained clothes from the system inventory. Now, he finally looked like a proper store owner. Before this, he had looked no different from a beggar.
Before, he sat behind the store's new counter he hung on OPEN sign on the glass door.
He grabbed a manga volume from the bookshelf and started reading.
The manga was quite thick.
On the cover was a handsome young mage holding a magic wand, gazing at a beautiful medieval city. Written boldly on the front were the words:
Element Mage Accession
The artwork was good.
Raeshan opened the first chapter.
The story showed a young mage holding a book inside what looked like a magical library. He was reading about the journey of an Archmage.
Inspired, the young mage dreamed of becoming an Archmage himself. He left the magic tower and began his adventure. Along the way, he met different people, encountered various races, and visited cities and ancient ruins, all to grow stronger and one day achieve the title of Archmage.
Raeshan continued reading, turning page after page.
The story was not as impressive as some of the fantasy manga he had read on Planet Earth. Still, it was not bad either. The storytelling was solid, the art was good, and for people who had never read manga before, it would be an excellent experience.
He reached the part where Elean encountered a Devil General.
Raeshan unconsciously held his breath.
At that moment, the store door opened, and a young man stepped inside.
He looked like a low-grade adventurer. His clothes were soaked with rainwater, and droplets fell onto the clean floor. His face was filled with confusion and surprise as his eyes wandered around the store.
His name was Kai, a low-grade swordsman.
Earlier, he had gone out simply to get rid of his boredom. However, halfway through his walk, dark clouds gathered, and rain suddenly poured down.
While running around desperately to find shelter, he noticed a strange-looking store.
A signboard hung above the entrance.
Fantasy Manga Store
Kai frowned.
He had never heard of such a store in his life.
What was a manga store?
Just as he was about to ignore it, a strange feeling tugged at his heart. His curiosity rose uncontrollably, pushing him to walk toward the store and take a closer look.
[Activated Passive Effects]
[Manga Store Aura: Increases passersby curiosity toward the store]
"Huh?"
Raeshan noticed the young man standing near the entrance, staring blankly at the interior.
He put down the manga in his hand, stood up, and smiled warmly.
"Welcome to the Fantasy Manga Store."
His calm voice echoed gently inside the shop, marking the arrival of the first customer.
