Trash of a Wealthy Family: My Gacha System Guarantees S-Rank Rewards Chapter 46

The shift in my body was immediate as soon as I opened the 3rd node. My breathing stabilized as the mana storm in me subsided. I could feel that my Origin Heart had also grown in size and was in a state where I could start forming Affinity rings. Excited to check out the changes, I opened the Aetheris Record in the system panel. The screen manifested before me with information. – – – ========== Name – AIDEN ORIGIN Race – ANOMALOUS PRIMARCH Bloodline – ORIGIN PRIMARCH Physique – ETERNAL PARITY PHYSIQUE Age – 16 YEARS Status – ACTIVE Rank – ASCENDANT Sub-stage – None Name – ABSOLUTE NULLIFICATION Rank – TRANSCENDENT – Negates physical damage (25%, scales up with host’s growth) (NEW!)

Opened Nodes – 3/84 (+3% to all stats) NONE – – – [AN: The number in brackets in front of stats is from opened nodes; every extra node opened adds +1% to every stat.] This time I was not surprised but still amazed at the numbers. With this number, even Grandmaster rank would not be a problem anymore, unless they had an annoying unique ability. Satisfied with my current progress, I stood up from my cultivation position and went towards the open deck to relax a little. As I was making my way through the hallway, A.B. was going somewhere. "A.B., we should be getting pretty close to the continent. How much time before we reach the shores of Kronesthion?" I asked, noticing him. "By approximately tomorrow noon, Master Aiden," A.B. answered. I nodded in response and walked ahead. As soon as I stepped on the deck, the familiar moist and salty air invaded my nostrils. After passing the storm, the sea had returned to its normal state of back-and-forth waves. I found a spot near the railing of this empty deck and stood there. My mind was full of thoughts on what to do after reaching the continent. The first thing in my mind was to register for the tournament. Then find information about the contestant, which has caused this event to be held one year earlier. There were many small things, but these two were main points in my checklist. In terms of only being related to me, my immediate goal was to create affinity rings, now that I am capable. I already had a few elemental essences obtained from rewards. One more thing that was knocking at the back of my mind was to establish some channels to get information about important and current events so that I remain a step ahead. This event with Nathan had only strengthened that idea. There were two options in front of me; one was to buy information from the information guilds. However, there was always a chance that I could get false news, be schemed against, or have news related to me sold. So I was keeping this as a last option, especially in terms of long relationships. Second was establishing my own information guild, but that would be even more tiresome and looks impossible currently. Though with the system present, everything was possible, but that would require Origin Points. Even though I had a decent sum of points, if I started forming a new banner or permanent banner and with an assured pull. I would run out of Origin Points sooner than I want. While I was analyzing my thoughts, I sensed someone nearing me. I glanced at the side to see Britany walking towards me with slow steps. "Couldn’t sleep, Master...Aiden?" She questioned, a bit undecided on how to address me. "You can just call me Aiden; there is no need for formalities if you feel uncomfortable," I reassured her. "Yes, tomorrow we will reach our destination, so I was finalizing my next step," I added. "Could I ask you a question, Aiden?" She hesitantly asked, and I nodded positively in response. "The rest of us, including me, are thinking about our position. Our main question is, what would be our place in all this?" "You summoned us because you needed extra hands during the attack, but now that’s over. What will be our role from here on?" She presented her question. "You can decide your place when I establish my city. You can choose to be a healer, fighter, or anything else you desire." "The only limitation is that you should be able to or at least have capability related to the work you are choosing." I answered. "Same goes for the rest of them. Till then, you could stay in a different plane, which I would show tomorrow to everyone," I added. "Okay, thanks for answering my question and not treating us like your slaves," she said with a hint of respect. "You can ask me anything, anytime. You all will be citizens of my new city, and I would never treat my people unfairly," I remarked. "Good night, and thank you for your time. You should also rest for a bit if we are landing tomorrow," she nodded and said as she left the deck. I just gave a smile in response as a system panel appeared. [Britany: +2% Trust] Just as she left, Thane appeared beside me. "Were you waiting for her to go?" I asked. "C’mon boss, I am your most loyal follower. Can’t I take a little personal time off from my boss?" He, as usual, diverted the question. "So, tell me what you are here for." I asked plainly. "Tsk...you are no fun, boss. Well, I am here to ask, what are you going to do about your bodyguard situation? Now that the Angel is out of commission for some time?" He responded with a question. Keeping his antics aside, his question was genuine. I was already thinking about an Assured Pull solution. "I have some things in mind; first, let us enter the continent, and then I will do something about it," I answered. "Why, you aren’t confident in strength, even after your evolution?" I added. "That hurts, boss, but you are right. I am still no match for your maid, and fighting is not even my strong suit. So I would like to pass that opportunity," he replied. "Don’t worry, you will help me by blending in with your non-combat mode," I stated. "Haha...I knew you liked me the most, boss. Rest for some time before we end this eventful sailing," he laughed as he responded. "Okay, enough of your delusions," I said as I walked to return to my quarters. As I surrendered myself to the comfortable and fluffy bed, my lids became heavy as I fell asleep. – – – [3rd Person POV] A person was floating high in the air; the atmosphere was tense and unnaturally still around him. The darkness of night and shadows from clouds perfectly hid his silhouettes from prying eyes. He was wearing black robes that gave away nothing about his identity. Suddenly, a movement caught the person’s eyes as a streak flew towards him. The streak stopped a few meters away, showing the silhouette of a man with almost identical black robes. Their faces were also covered by some type of mask. The only thing differentiating both of them was their hazy black eyes. The one who was already standing had his eyes filled with caution. While the person who just arrived had a hint of boredom in his eyes. The first person to break silence was a cautious one. "The Fracture hold—" he spoke. "—Until it widens," the second one completed. They both were ranked executives of the Accord; the cause of their meeting was a recent turn of events. "So what’s with the face? And what did you find out about the missing members?" The second asked first. The cautious one answered in a slightly serious tone, "Well, it’s weird and a bit concerning. First, the news about..."
