Devil's Luck

Chapter 4: First Prize

[Lottery: an ability that gives the user the chance to get a random prize at a certain selected location by the user, which said location is used as the prize pool; anything in the location is a prize; whether it be skills like Judo Mastery, Basketball Mastery, Swimming Mastery, etc. and other stuff like money, bag, notebook, etc. This ability could only be used once a day.]

[Do you want to use it? Y/N?]

Zenkichi stared a good couple of minutes at the floating green screen in front of his face.

He was contemplating on whether he wanted to use right here and now but with all these students and teachers at the side gathered around him, maybe he should just hold it off for now and do it later...

Hah! Nope, the temptation is too great!

[Location selected: Hakoniwa Academy Auditorium.]

'Lottery, activate!' Zenkichi internally cried out in excitement.

Suddenly, a holographic lottery wheel appeared right in front of his face, several different prizes that was at least a hundred set on it each colored differently.

10,000 yen, boxing gloves, pencil, a pair of shoes, glasses, a set of school uniform, Sprinting Mastery, Karate Mastery, Surgery Mastery, and many more were put up as prizes in the lottery wheel.

But what caught Zenkichi's eye the most was the blinding golden colored prize at the top where the red arrow rested, shining brightly like it was the very sun itself.

The End.

'...Ok, what the hell is that? It sounds cool yet ominous, I wonder if its a skill? I haven't heard any item that's called "The End" except for a world ending device, though it probably is or equal in value to it as it's gold. Anything that's gold has to be the grand prize.' He nodded his head. Although he felt excited at the thought of getting such a grand prize, he couldn't help but feel something was...off.

For whatever reason, the name of the grand prize sent a shiver down his spine.

It was like he should've already know what it is...

'Is it just my imagination?' Zenkichi shook his head from any superstitious thoughts and inwardly commanded his ability, "Lottery", to spin the wheel.

There was a ding sound in his head and the wheel slowly started rotating before it started blurring from how fast it was going.

The wheel continued on spinning for a full thirty seconds before it started dropping its speed to the point that Zenkichi could now clearly read the prizes' names the red arrow was passing by.

His eyes were wide in anxiety, not blinking for the entire time the wheel was spinning, which freaked any students glancing his way but he didn't pay attention to them.

This was a chance, a chance for him to live a life that was his own and not of the original. A chance to become someone beyond his past self or the original Zenkichi.

This is his power, a power that only the new Zenkichi Hitoyoshi could have!

[Ding!]

Zenkichi stared intently as the wheel finally stopped as the red arrow pointed straight at his prize.

'This is...?' He looked at his prize with a mixed expression of excitement and confusion.

[The Iron - Iron Skin Mimicry.]

'Iron skin mimicry? Is that it? Does that mean my skin simply mimics iron? Or does it turns my entire skin into iron? Does it also permeates into my entire body: muscles, bones, organs, etc.?' Zenkichi was a bit frustrated at how simple yet so had little information his new skill's description has.
