If I can't get her, then I'll become her.

- First Person POV -

Arknights is an incredibly enjoyable mobile game that offers a unique experience. The fact that it can be played on a mobile device adds to its appeal, as it allows me to immerse myself in the game world while exploring the great outdoors. Unlike traditional games that confine players to their rooms, Arknights lets me engage in thrilling gameplay while appreciating the beauty of nature and the freedom of movement.

One of the standout aspects of Arknights is its ability to captivate players for an extended period. Unlike other games that may lose their allure after a few days, Arknights has a lasting impact, constantly keeping me entertained and engaged. Its immersive gameplay mechanics and captivating storyline create a sense of excitement and anticipation, making every play session a memorable experience.

In a world saturated with countless mobile games, Arknights stands out by offering a refreshing and enjoyable alternative. It not only satisfies my gaming cravings but also encourages an active and dynamic lifestyle. So, whether I'm walking through a bustling city or strolling in a serene park, Arknights never fails to accompany me on my adventures, providing entertainment and joy every step of the way.

Without further ado, let's continue the journey. Today is an eagerly anticipated day—the day Texas Alter finally graces us with her presence! May 23rd has arrived, and I am bursting with excitement. My anticipation is through the roof as I prepare to embark on the long-awaited summoning session. With every fiber of my being, I believe that today is the day I will secure her!

As soon as I step foot into my humble abode, I waste no time. Swiftly, I shed my outdoor attire and slip into my comfortable loungewear. Settling onto my cozy bed, I retrieve my trusty companion, my beloved iPhone 7 (yes, it may not be the latest model, but it serves me well :copium:). With a sense of anticipation coursing through me, I boot up Arknights and eagerly log into the game.

With bated breath, I watched as the game swiftly loaded, revealing the familiar face of Hoshiguma, my trusted in-game assistant. Without wasting a moment, I navigated my way to the headhunting menu, my heart pounding with anticipation. My available resources amounted to a modest 60 pulls, counting the generous inclusion of a free ten-pull. While it may not be an extravagant stash, I held onto the hope that it would be enough to secure a coveted 6-star character. Praying to the gacha gods, I silently pleaded that this time, fortune would be on my side, and I would not be greeted by an off-banner surprise.

I began my summoning session by utilizing the free single pull, which, as expected, yielded no remarkable results. It simply rewarded me with a mundane 4-star character. Undeterred, I proceeded to utilize my first ten-pull, filled with hope and anticipation. Alas, disappointment struck as I received a mere 5-star bag. Determined, I continued to summon, tirelessly pulling until the 24th attempt. Finally, luck seemed to smile upon me as a 6-star character appeared before my eyes. Excitement coursed through my veins, building up to an overwhelming crescendo. But as the game slowly unveiled the coveted 6-star character, my elation was abruptly replaced with disbelief and frustration.

It was Weedy.

"Are you kidding me? Is this a joke?" 

I exclaimed in exasperation, my voice laced with a mixture of disbelief and anguish. The reality sunk in, causing me to groan in pain, the disappointment hitting me like a heavy weight upon my heart.

Shaking my head, I resolved not to succumb to despair just yet. After all, I still had a remaining 36 pulls in my arsenal.

With renewed determination, I embarked on my summoning spree, eagerly utilizing each and every pull. However, despite my perseverance, luck seemed determined to evade me. Each summon yielded nothing of note. Undeterred, I devised a new plan. I turned my attention to the event and story stages, diligently pouring my time and energy into completing them. I exhausted my reserve of sanity potions in a quest to acquire Originite Primes, the precious currency needed for additional pulls. Hours flew by as I tirelessly farmed, my eyes fixed on the prize: reaching the pity counter and claiming a guaranteed 6-star character. With every battle fought and every pot consumed, my anticipation grew. This time, I was certain that the long-awaited character, Texas Alter, would grace my roster.
