Chapter 2: LUCKY HALO

Aaron lounged in his cozy villa, a surprisingly plush setup for a guy just figuring out his new life on Blue Star. The place hummed with faint mana, a constant reminder of this world’s supernatural edge. Leo had filled him in on the basics, and Aaron couldn’t help but grin. "Tsk. Can’t believe that idiot cried over my ’lost memory,’" he muttered, a warm smirk crossing his face. At least he had a solid bro in this world. Blue Star mirrored Earth—same radius, same landmasses—but mana and superpowers flipped the script. Once a normal world, it plunged into chaos when dungeons spawned, unleashing magical creatures immune to human weapons. Despair ruled until awakeners emerged, wielding powers beyond comprehension. Aaron? He was the son of two demigod parents, legends who died when he was twelve ,sealing an SSS-grade dungeon to save the world. Since then, he’d lived alone, supposedly "cared for" by the government in honor of his parents. *Yeah, right.* They’d been siphoning his family’s assets, selling them off in secret. Now, with no talent awakened, Aaron bet they’d come for his villa next. Then there was Lily, his childhood sweetheart. He’d pushed his parents to arrange their betrothal, and her family, eager to kiss up to demigod clout, agreed. But the second he flopped at the awakening ceremony? They turned faster than a plot twist in a C-tier isekai. Did he care? *Nope.* Why cry over a girl not even top ten in the continent when he was sure a golden finger was coming to make him untouchable? "Still pretty damn good-looking in this world," Aaron said, catching his reflection in a polished mana-crystal mirror. He struck a pose, winking at himself. "Alright, golden finger, do your thing!" he shouted, pacing the villa’s sleek floors, hyped like he was booting up a new game mod. *[Lucky Spin System has successfully bound to host!]* *[Congratulations!]* "Hell yeah!" Aaron whooped, alone in the villa with no need to hold back. His otaku heart raced—this was his cheat code. *[Host can spin once daily to gain rewards of varying quality. Rewards include bloodlines, talents, summons, mounts, skills, artifacts, and more!]* *[Host has acquired one spin. Spin when ready!]* The system’s voice was music to his gamer ears. "Status!" Aaron called, channeling his inner pro-gamer, no noobie vibes here. --- **Aaron Highborn** *Strength*: F- rank *Agility*: F- rank *Vitality*: F- rank *Stamina*: F- rank *Luck*: N/A *Talent*: N/A *Skill*: N/A *Lucky Spin Available*: 1 "What the hell? This body’s weaker than a level-one slime!" Aaron groaned, shaking his head. No time to sulk, though—he had a spin to burn. "Let’s not get a dud," he prayed, rubbing his hands like he was rolling dice in a high-stakes RPG. *[Congratulations! You have gained the SSS-rank talent – Lucky Halo!]* *[Check status for details.]* "Nooo!" Aaron dropped to his knees, the villa’s cool tiles grounding him. "I wanted something badass, not some passive luck buff! I’ve got an exam in a month—how’s this gonna help me survive?" He tapped his status, grumbling. "Guess I’ll try again tomorrow." --- Aaron Highborn Strength: F- rank Agility: F- rank Vitality: F- rank Stamina: F- rank Luck: SSS+ rank Talent: SSS-rank – Lucky Halo [Lucky Halo]: Your luck makes the goddess of fortune jealous.

Skill: N/A Lucky Spin Available: 0 Aaron scowled at the screen, his otaku brain unimpressed. "Subpar. Passive talents are for side characters," he muttered, oblivious to the sheer brokenness of his new power. *Ding dong!* The doorbell chimed, snapping him out of his pity party. He shuffled to the door, still in his post-spin slump. "Yes? How can I help you?" Aaron asked, eyeing a delivery man holding a glowing parcel. "Sir, this elixir is for you. A client instructed us to deliver it," the man said, handing it over. "Oh? Who’s the client?" Aaron asked, curiosity piqued. "Sorry, they wish to remain anonymous." "Alright, thanks." Aaron shut the door, inspecting the parcel. The elixir shimmered with mana, its vial etched with runes—a high-tier steal. "Did I... underestimate this talent?" he muttered, a grin creeping across his face. *Ding dong! Ding dong!* The doorbell rang again. And again. And again. Delivery after delivery piled up—mana-infused gear, rare potions, even a sleek blade that hummed with power. Anonymous benefactors, all claiming to "honor his parents," flooded his villa with loot. Aaron’s jaw dropped as he hauled in the mountain of gifts, his stamina drained from sheer excitement. "I *definitely* underestimated this," he panted, collapsing onto the floor amidst the loot, a satisfied smirk plastered on his face. Exhausted, he passed out, dreaming of his next spin. The next morning, Aaron woke, still sprawled on the tiles, sore from his gift-hauling marathon. "Who knew accepting loot could be a workout?" he groaned, rubbing his neck. Then it hit him. "Wait—daily spins!" His eyes lit up, gamer instincts kicking in. "System, spin!" he shouted, rubbing his palms like a kid at a claw machine. "Hold up! Luck Accumulation!" he added, activating his Lucky Halo’s skill. A faint golden glow pulsed around him, the universe’s favor stacking for an epic pull. "Now spin!" The invisible wheel whirred, mana crackling in the air as it cycled through rewards, slowing with a dramatic hum. [Congratulations, host!] [You have gained the god-level bloodline – Vampire Primogenitor!] [Accept reward? Note: You will feel a sting.] "Hell yes!" Aaron leaped, fist-pumping like he’d just cleared a raid boss. "Accept!" he shouted, ignoring the system’s warning. A sharp sting hit, and he winced, but the grin stayed. This was his ticket to ruling Blue Star.
