Josh, who was in the shower alone after training season, opened his system and decided to see what he has.

There is a mystery box with a reward that has an Excellent rank in it, at least. Moreover, there are ten [Draw Points] for him. ​​

Now, that what should be called progress.

All he needs now is to see his reward.

Josh, looking at the system, opened the mystery box. From it, a big question mark filled the screen. The question mark started fading, getting replaced by what had been behind it.

A piece of candy appeared.

[+ Physical Talent candy (Epic)]

The tier was higher than excellent. It was Epic.

Mystery Box was more guaranteeing than drawing in the lottery.

Josh decided to look at it.

[The talent to learn and understand movement and physical skills faster and better than regular people by 500%]

After seeing this talent, Josh nodded. He had already been planning to relearn things. And this talent should save him time.

Josh ate the sweet candy with no hesitation.

‘I’ll learn how to walk on walls. I always like Prince of Persia.’ Yeah, a man can dream.

Josh, looking at his legs, which can handle a half-ton of weight.

When Josh opened the system again, he chose the option: Skills and Abilities. He found this talent under the abilities section.

“Mystery box is better than the banana and hair keratin.”

Josh nodded. Soon, he remembered that product. “Oh right.” He put the keratin on his hair and looked for some hot metal to apply it. Even though he is a fighter now, a man should always take care of his look.

After finishing bathing, Josh moved to one building, where he was supposed to sleep. As it seems, he was assigned in one post, where he guards the island in one of the four directions.

His shift has yet to come, so he decided to relax now. Meanwhile, he was looking around, trying to find a trace for Mikita.

‘It’s not like I missed her or something.’

He thought in himself as he turned and looked at the near wall. Soon, Josh, without realising, found himself trying to walk on it vertically.

At first, doing one step was hard.

Josh, quickly, thanks to his talent, realised that his mistake. He was just kicking on the wall.

However, his body posture is wrong.

So, he twisted his body, his upper half-forward and quietly bent to the wall.

Soon, as he put his leg on the wall he found that he could make two steps.

And sooner, he could even learn how to adjust his speed by moving his back and forward.

Feeling happy with that, Josh started doing it again and again. Fe found that he could do more steps each time. And a few hours later, he found that he could run on the wall.

‘I’m genius!’ He thought. ‘Naturally, I have talent.’

“Josh, your shift!”

Soon, came a guy to the building where Josh is. He replaced the old guard, standing on one post alone.

Josh wasn’t alone. Another man was guarding with him. Josh then looked at his system.

He has ten Draw Points, and he had been curious about how to use them.

After all, the more he spent, the higher his chances of getting high tier things. However, it’s not guaranteed that he would get good things.

‘I’ll put two, and then three, before putting the rest of five.’

Josh felt that this day is quite lucky.

He had gotten a talent, a stunning beauty flirted with him, and the conversation had been quite flirtatious.

‘I don’t know if Mikita’s attention is luck or not.’

Shaking his head on the crazy woman, Josh started drawing. On the first try, he put in two points and activated the lottery.

The first reward had been common tier.

However, the light of hope was still there.

After spending three points, his luck seemed to be better, as he had gotten a Good Tier item.

[+ healing drugs (heal the injuries 60%)]

That was a good one, for sure, better than the common items he usually gets.

“Now, should I gamble all I have left?”

There were more than five points. If he used them all, he would have a higher chance.

Still, he can get three good rewards if he used a point a time — but he can also get nothing.

“If one has to gamble,”

Josh half-closed his eyes. Somehow he felt that he changed after the day he fought against the people and accepted the task to join Baroque Works.

“He has to do it right.”

He took a coin, ten berries from his pocket, and decided to put his fate on it.

“So, all or nothing.”

That what the coin has decided after Josh flipped it in the air and it landed on him.

After putting in five Draw Points, he activated the lottery.

He noticed that Common Tier has vanished from the choices when he put five.

[+ beginner to professional Kung Fu manual (Excellent)]

Josh pulled the manual out of his storage. He read it, and he found that it was a manual of martial arts, but not a full one.

It explains how to use postures, take stances, and attack while having sets of workouts.

It has one style of Kung Fu, as it seems. And he can use Weapons.

“Good, it allows me to use weapons.”

It even has swordsmanship in it. Josh felt that there is some progress.

“Now I get it. I need to stockpile up those Draw Points so I can use them later.

He muttered to himself.

“What’s up, mate.”

The guard, who is on the same shift as him, woke up from his nap and turned.

“Nothing, just go back to sleep.”

Josh told him, before looking in the sea’s direction.

-x-X-x-

While waiting for the coming mission, Josh spent his day in the Gym of Baroque works, lifting weights repeatedly, and then, in the night, he practises the Kong-Fu.

As it seems, his physical body is good for practising martial arts.

Though, he noticed names of techniques, weird ones, which seemed way stronger than a casual one. [The Tiger’s claw rip the steel]. This technique explains how to use fingers to rip off the steel.

But Josh didn’t think of it since it was on the highest levels.

Josh practised the techniques he would need, such as punches, kicks, and using swords.

Other than that, he would be going to Gym and lift weights.

Sometimes, he would meet Mikita, train and mess with weights.

She would flirt with him and casually tease him if he tried to go up to her max weight.

Josh would only flirt back that he needs to go up to her expectation.

“You know, I can be too light sometimes. Strength can’t lift everything.” She flirted on her way back.

-x-X-x-

Josh rode a ship that contained four people.

In front of them, there were two guys that he never had seen in the Anime.

One of them calls himself Mister 10. And the other was his partner, an old woman with grey hair.

Josh looked at his partners.

There was Mikita here. Himself. A blond man who holds a sword.

And most importantly, a tall black man, around 198cm. He had his finger in his nose hole the whole time.

‘The future Mister 5!’ Josh thought looking at him.

“You have something to look at me pale.” The future Mister Five said as he seemed annoyed by Josh’s look.

“Nothing. I just think you are familiar.”

“Weird, we never met.”

Josh saw him rubbing his nose; it was disgusting.

“What’s your name, by the way.” Mister Five, in the future, asked.

“Josh. You.”

“Gem, you can call me.” Gem said.

“Fine.” Josh turned his head.

Gem was a dangerous person. He had eaten Bomb-Bomb devil fruit. Each part of his body is a bomb. Even he can even explode, create huge explosions, without harming himself.

The four of them were here to assist the two agents known as Mister 10, and his old partner, Ms July, who wasn’t as hot as her alias.

“Alright. Let me explain the details of the mission.”

The current Mister 10, who was a tall guy, 2.5 meters tall, with board shoulders and long moustache said.

Meanwhile, Josh opened his system, the quests generator.

[Quests Generator has a new gamble for you. Gamble on your life. Do you accept.]
