"DIE DIE DIIIIIIEEEEEE!" She keeps throwing Hell Flame at the dozen toads, now down to ten, as she is picked up by her suit by the Round Deer's mouth and tossed on its back.

*BANG-BA-BANG* *CLICK* (Skippy is a three round burst pistol with thirty rounds in each mag)

Jason keeps on using Rubber Body to tie his legs in a lock around Round Deer as it gallops and shoots those that he can but either misses or hitting body shots because toads have no tech on them, only killing three using one mag.

*FWOOM* *FWOOM* *FWOOM* *FWOOM*

'Hey….no time for…yo.r...revenge. We are fu..…surounded and…….reinforcments when injured……..focus.'
But she does not listen, using as much of Hell Flame as she can, killing two more, when they are far enough to have a bit of distance tells it to stop. He sighs voicelessly and ejects a magazine out, puts the gun upside down in his lap and gets a mag from his pocket and puts it into the Magwell for skippy and racks it on his leg.

*FWOOM* *FWOOM* *BANG-BA-BANG* *FWOOM* *FWOOM*

'Guess we are doing this.'
He nudges the Round Deer to get in close but stays out of range of the tongue and shoots one dead as Lucifer is starting to sweat from the many Hell Flames she used and being more conservative with it, killing two in the process.

*FWOOM* *FWOOM* *BANG-BA-BANG*

'Can y.u…….stop throwing th..se….illy nilly? You are….rely hitting…em.' As the Deer is on the move again to dodge, making them both whiff a shot and Lucifer is starting to get a bit paler. 'Your gonna……..tting mana depletion………. I'll handle…..rest.' She does it with a lot of reluctance.

"Fine but never take me on this type of quest ever again or I'll kill you." She holds onto Jason's waist to hold on as he slowly kills the last two Giant Toads with it taking 3 bursts to kill each either not killing it in one or missing with the Deer dodging quickly.

'Well I'm glad that is done with. I feel exhausted….stupid Sloth Curse. Hey Lucifer, wanna turn in the reward and the frogs? We should get 65,000 Eris for the 13 toads and 100,000 Eris for the quest completion. It should be enough for a place for the night and get food at the guild' He does the math for this while the Round Deer for a place at an inn and food, not knowing how much actually came through the telepathy as Lucifer shakes him a bit to get him out of his head.
"Hey, you do know that all came out clearly right? Does leveling up help with that or something else?" He pulls out his card and sees he leveled up 5 times from killing 7 toads and his EXP is at two fifths full having 5 skill points and seeing the Telepathy highlighted with red and a 0 for it along with Hallucination, Invisibility, Terrify, Mental Fortitude, Puppet Master, Dominate, and Psychic Shriek. They all have varying skill points needed to unlock and telepathy turns black without his input since he touched the card.

'Maybe it's because I was actually able to use it and trained my proficiency in it till the skill points needed were reduced?' He shrugs his shoulders as Axel comes close in view and untangles his legs and hops off the Round Deer. He then helps Lucifer down off and gives the Deer a good head scratch in thanks and desummons it back into the Familiar Space.

"Well, let's hope there is somewhere to wash myself. How much is the food and the inn gonna cost?" As they walk closer to the gate and show their adventure cards and the quest to the guards and continue their way to the guild.

'Should be 25,000 Eris per person for a month. So 50k this month next this includes a free breakfast. The food at the guild should be 500 to 1,000 Eris, you can get some wine or any alcohol as long as it's the cheap stuff I'm getting myself water.' As they continue their walk and talk they finally get to the guild and go into it and turn in the quest. He once again lets Lucifer talk but does show his guild card to confirm the kills and their kill count being thirteen.

"Hey Luna, we got the quest complete and got ambushed by other Toads so we got 13 instead of just the 5." She strolls on up to the receptionist and hands them their cards to confirm it and sees how tired they both look, including a bit of slime they both couldn't get out of her clothes.

"Thank you for dispatching all the monsters even if you went above and beyond for this. The reward for your quest being 100,000 Eris and after taking transportation out of the equation get 65,000 Eris for the corpses." She bows for their thanks in doing more than they should as beginners. "Thank you and congrats on the level up to LV5 and LV2 here is the reward." She puts the Eris on the table and they pocket it.

"Anything else I can help you with?" As she asks, Jason nudges Lucifer to ask for any guild affiliated inns and directions, "Oh yes we do have some, it's just down the street. It should be 25,000 Eris a month and includes breakfast for free. That is our cheapest option." As Jason waves their thanks and Lucifer voices hers, they go sit down and wait for a waitress to order some food, a ding is heard.

'Yeah go on ahead, not like the waitresses are coming any time soon.' Seeing them whispering one and another to get someone to ask what they want to eat. Still not liking Jason's presence.

While this ability is active, all strikes and blunt attacks consume more energy; in exchange, all strikes and blunt attacks act like they are covered in razor or barbed wire, leaving lacerations and cuts on hit proportional to the power of the attack.

[Cazador]

|Rare Familiar|

Fallout New Vegas - Cazadors are insects biogenetically engineered by Dr. Borous. They are faster than cars, tough enough to tank .50 calibre bullets, ruthless, roughly the size of a man, strong enough to tear apart a grown man and with venom potent enough to bring any man to their knees. And they reproduce very rapidly if given enough protein sources. You get 4 breeding pairs.

'Christ I don't even want to imagine needing these things. Yeah these things stay in here till absolutely necessary.' As one waitress finally came up to their table, still nervous to get their table order.

"He…Hello sir*gulps nervously* and ma'am. What would you like to eat?" She is trying to avoid Jason's gaze even if he isn't looking at her she thinks he is and tells Lucifer to get the fried frog legs for him and water for him through telepathy.

"We will both be getting the Fried Frog Legs, water for him and a cheap wine for me." As the waitress nods and writes it down hurries off fast after doing so for their order. "Tch…weaklings. They serve adventures and shady people dressed like that but your curses get them this nervous?" He nods back to Lucifer agreeing with her, not knowing a person still in distance of his curses gets red in her imagination looking at him and her friend immediately grabs her hand and goes to the farthest table away from them.

"Darkness what was that about, I know you get an active imagination but just don't be around that man or the girl okay?. Their presence is ringing my Sense Foe off constantly. " She says to her red faced friend currently in her fantasy in her head trying to be serious especially how that man makes her feel but the complete opposite way.
Darkness-KonoSuba-Featured-e1615574558511.jpg
"But Chris, if they are, it is my duty as a crusader to, nghhh, confront them no matter how that man is looking at me." He is not even looking at her direction at all as the nervous waitress serves their food and drink. Darkness just gets more flustered at the thought of what he will do to her.
filters:quality(95)format(webp)
She gets up very suddenly and loud but not enough for them to hear, to confront them but Chris just drags her back to the table. "Darkness don't make me say it please just let this one go until I can figure out their deal okay Lala-mhh!" She has her mouth immediately covered by Darkness.

"I …..Fine just don't say that okay? You promised not to call me by my name Chris, you're a real meanie." She just sits down and pouts now just watching them red for an entirely different reason and not in the way she likes, watching Lucifer cut the Fried Frog Legs since Jason has one arm and him looking grateful for that.

"So why don't you like them Chris? You said your skill is pinging but none of the other thieves here are reacting to them." She noticed how the thieves that hang around here looking for dungeon dives are put off by him but not at all panicking.

"They feel like they need the wrath of Eris or any god, just being around them makes me the ick." She can not even say that one feels like a demon and the man feels like the Anti-Christ since she is playing Chris the Thief, not Eris the goddess since she can't even visit the mortal world as Eris without getting caught or in trouble. She just settles with burning the back of Jason's head with her glare.

They both finish the meal and pay, then get up from their seats to head to the Inn to call it for the night with Lucifer leading the way.

Jason goes bug eyed at that and Lucifer sees it and the fact his hair now has light purple highlights and the same with around his hazel eyes. "What the hell happened for you to have that look?"

'Oh you know, pissing off the local goddess playing roleplay and getting the attention of her masochistic crusader friend, I already know what type of attention already with my curses.' She looks at Jason pity in her look and pats his back to comfort him as he rolls the tickets.

[Demon Blood Blade]

|Uncommon Item|

Adventure Time - A tough and sharp blade created out of the blood of a demon, created by said demon, Kee-Oth. The blade in Unholy in nature, dealing increased damage against Angelic and Holy beings and being able to damage spiritual creatures. If one is a Hemokinetic, they may be able to utilise the blade further.

[Earthbound Ancient]

|Legendary Trait|

You are one with the primordial earth, all earth-based abilities are far more potent, cost less energy to use, and are easier to master. In addition, you recover energy faster when standing on ground and even faster the more underground you are.



'Holy shit…I feel like I just took 5 hours of energy and hurray 1/3rds away from breaking my Sloth curse and have something to exorcize spirits with.' The ground is already getting some of the fatigue out of him as they enter the Inn and pay 25k Eris each for their rooms on the bottom floor next to each other. Jason takes off his clothes to workout the excess energy and puts on the Second Skin body suit even if it's hard to put on, to do what body exercises he can one handed doing squats, wall pushups, sit ups, basically any exercise he can do one armed without being loud and now resting on the floor exhausted and feeling the burn of the exercises.

[You have received 1 Silver Trait Ticket for going well past your bodies normal limit]

He pants hard from the exercise on the floor face down wanting to do nothing except sleep as he nods yes to roll.

[Rolling Silver Trait Ticket…]

[Relentless Stamina]

|Elite Trait|

Your stamina is ridiculous, even as a regular human you could run a marathon and not be winded, you also recover from exhaustion really fast and it takes a lot to get you exhausted.


He looks at the trait and screams wordlessly in frustration and curses the one person he can blame for this rotten luck, now awake again and not exhausted. 'FUCK YOU FOR THIS BAD LUCK ERISSSSSSSSS.'

( AN: Hi sorry if this came out a bit late this chapter was a bit of a doozy along with work. Hope I was able to at least get the action scenes to were they are good but please if you see any issues or feel like something needs to be pointed out, please do. This is my fourth time writing and I hope this chapter came out alright to everyone and like always thanks for reading. I will be updating the gacha rolls, familiars and maybe putting up a poll for if i should reroll the Royal Heart ticket because i'm still not very good at writing scenes like you read with chris and darkness scene. )

Sigh I think I read exactly one konosuba fic were adventurers isn't the protagonist class. Even than it was just souped-up version of the adventure class. Honestly adventure is a terrible class for anyone without a tone money to burn. To farm levels and pay adventures for skills.

He glares at the screen for how bright it is and it being midday, just waking up and sore. He looks at the abilities then chooses the Immunity System for his choice and finally gets up and puts on his clothes over Second Skin. He just rolls it anyway, not caring and just waking up.

'Nice guess when I ever see Lucifer or any familiars injured plus it will pair well with White Mage trait. That's also 1/3 down for the Weak to Weakness and gets rid of Torment, life is looking up.' As he rubs the sleepiness from his eyes and sees a note by the door's floor. He picks it up to read it and it's in English and in elegant writing that he hasn't seen since reading history books or pictures of old log books.
Dear Jason,
I will be working at the Hot Springs today since your lazyass couldn't get up on time. I will assume it was because of one of your curses, but this better not happen again. So, if this curse hasn't been resolved today please tell me before you sleep again today for any plans we'll have tomorrow.
From,
Lucifer Morningstar


He puts the note in his pocket to keep it as a reminder and decides to get some clothes since the one he is wearing is all torn up, bloody, old slime residue from taking slime from Lucifer. He opens the door. When he steps on the ground outside the inn he feels like he just had a caffeine shot and is immediately awake and heads to the guild to get some food and waits for a waitress.

He gestures for the food to be cut up by pointing out his missing arm and the waitress bows for his patronage a bit shaken from his presence, but able to get his food and drink as he waits for his food as someone sits across from them, their suit looking a lot more cleaner and smelling a whole lot better. "So you're finally awake? It only took till lunch so, from what I'm seeing your curses are weakening. I'm guessing it has to do with you sleeping in?" As the waitress also brings the food and sh orders as well.

'Yeah I was able to get traits that help lesson the [Sloth Curse], but the second one was after I was exhausted from exercise and ready to go to bed and help with recovery from exhaustion. All I need is one more and I'll be able to fix my no arm sooner rather than later. Plus got something that nullifies one of my curses.' He shrugs at that and gets to eating, he still can't taste anything but it does fill him up.

"So can you explain what I should use the skill points on because I see some things that would boost my fire's power and elementary magic, and some other spells in intermediary. I'm no Malina when it comes to games so, as much as it pains me to admit, please help me in this."

As she shows her card a bit embarrassed and sees she has more skill points for being a LV2 Archwizard having enough to get all the beginners magic and have enough to get one intermediary spell. She would have enough to use to boost fire damage or save them for later.

'Get all the beginner spells and one spell in the next category, save the rest of the points. Just having those spells is stupidly good for being cunning and sneaky. You can use create water to either make the floor wet or your enemy then use freeze to make the effect of freeze more devastating. Wind breath and Create earth to blind enemies. There is a lot you can do with that branch of magic, as long as you're creative with it.' Remembering how creative Kazuma was with it and the fact that he was just Lv 13 when the parties switched with Dust and took so many goblins and escaped the rookie's bane.

'But the decision is solely on you to make, you can get some and then upgrade your fire damage, just remember to get either Freeze with Create Water or Create Earth with Wind Breath.' She chooses Freeze with Create Water, and Fireball and uses 2 points into her fire damage saving one point to keep red and pokes the other skills to black and taps her image on the card to confirm.

She shivers as the card glows. "Ugh that felt weird, like something getting added to my soul is that how it felt to you" He does a kind gesture, probably because he is not as attuned with souls as she is. She gets her food and starts to dig in.

'Want me to wait? I need to get some new clothes considering mine are ripped up and the only person who can talk between us is you. Also here I don't need this for now since I have nothing related to magic currently.' Handing her the Sage's Ring, looking like it's made from ice with a symbol on it.
images

"Ho? Already falling for me enough to give me a ring, sorry but I'm not that easy of a woman." Giving him a friendly teasing smile as part of his eyes and hair highlights turn mute pink in embarrassment, his face a bit flushed.

'NO I meant….this is…it's to help you with your magic. Jeez, you really are the devil.' Even his telepathy sounds embarrassed, as he tosses the ring to her lightly and she catches it and gets up to leave and puts the money for his food on the table and power walks out.

She finishes up eating, puts on the ring and leaves the money for her food on the table to catch up to him. "So what clothes are you gonna get, as you can see, I have good fashion sense to look this good." Her ego is already back up from yesterday's incident, relaxing at the hot springs and her suit clean.

He does a wordless sigh as the mute pink leaves his hair and eyes going back to sun bleached highlights and hazel eyes. 'Getting a week of regular clothes and one set of adventure clothes. Don't need any shoes because my boots are damn pretty good.' He sees the tailor shop and heads in with her following in tow.

He sees what he wants as an adventure outfit and hopefully will slim down enough to actually wear it to how it fits but nothing in the store will fit him. Jason asks Lucifer telepathically to see if she can get the Tailor if he has a skill so he can modify the clothes he buys. "Excuse me sir, I was hoping to see if you can show my adventure friend here how to obtain the Tailor skill. We haven't been able to find any in his size."

"Oh, uh my apologies. Sorry if we don't have any in your size, but are you sure you want to uh..*looks at his missing arm, then his stony looking face, and just the aura of he will hit you if you say something wrong because of Menacing.* Sure no problem and you get a huge discount for the materials you need for the modifications." Jason tilts his head in confusion, all that does is make the Tailor more nervous.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

He looks at all the clothes and materials he has bagged with a look saying 'what did I even do' all while Lucifer is laughing her ass off from the whole situation outside. "That Tailor was teaching you while crying oh my fucking god that was so funny." He then looks at Lucifer in confusion, that she can actually see and not what the Tailor saw in his eyes, at why she is laughing and she laughs even harder and weezing. Not having paid a single Eris.

He now knows the why and wants to die of shame and never be found again.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"So why are we outside Axel again?" After making her day and laughing as hard and dropping the stuff off at his room, they are in an area outside the walls of Axel with no monsters and no people. Jason lies down on the ground and summons the Round Deer and has it focus all the RCT on his Stump.

'You know you didn't have to join me right? Just gonna heal my arm as much as I can today and tomorrow we can take a quest.' He rolls mentally the Tickets. But she lies right next to him but far enough to not be close, staring at the clear sky as the stamina starts to drain inside him for the concentrated RCT.

[Tozama]

|Common Item|

JJK - A basic cursed tool in the form of a short sword. The sword sword is sharp and durable while also being able to interact with and harm spiritual beings.



Rolling Silver Trait Ticket….

[Prodigious Pupil]

|Elite Trait|

You are THE Pupil. You learn things much faster and far more easily when taught personally by someone who has a higher skill level than you in the subject in question. In addition, it is easier to earn the favour of your teachers.


He deadpans at the trait.'Yeah and who will teach me? Pretty sure the incident today will prevent me from learning anything in this world until I get rid of these curses.' He does another voiceless sigh as Lucifer begins to speak.

"You know this world ain't so bad, especially the view. It just looks like before humans industrialized a lot around my time when I fell from heaven." He doesn't speak for a second letting that statement settle, as his whole hair and eyes turn melancholy dark blue.

'Yeah I can see what you mean. Haven't seen this in a long while, my parents used to take us hiking, fishing, and camping alot when me and my brother were younger….Wish i'd actually do that more with them If I knew how my life was gonna end up like this.' As all the memories he remembers comes up from his childhood hating doing all of that, but tears fall anyways.

'I'm gonna miss them alot, especially knowing that I will never see them or not make up for being such a smartass of a child and wanting to not go out to hang out with them on hikes or fish with my Brother.' When he feels that most of his stamina is drained he cuts off the RCT, him now sitting up and hugging his knees in contemplation of what could have be's in his mind. Tears are rolling out, not even able to voice a single cry at his end and regrets in his original world.

"You know….you're not the only one with regrets." She sits up next to him and she continues to talk not to sooth him but to get him to understand that you can't take back what the past is. Staring in the sky that is slowly turning into a darker color as the sun begins to set, remembering her past.

"I'm sure you already know my story of how I fell from Heaven, my anger at God, my Rebelion, my original sin. I Have had an Eon of time to reflect on what I did and didn't care for it, but what I cared for is what I lost because of that." The Round Deer Joins them being big enough to curl around them, as Lucifer continues to talk.

"I had people there for me, to help lessen that I lost no matter how much of a dumbass they were, but they were there for me and those memories help with that. So let's make some memories you will remember for lifetimes, to lessen your regret and be there for the people you have today, Okay?" She stands up to give Jason a hand to get up himself and she has a smile that looks not like a devil….but an angel. He grabs it and gets up to follow her back to Axel and doesn't see the Gacha's notification, his hair and eyes go back to highlights only for the color of Melancholy.

(AN: Well I hope this chapter didn't come out too bad even if it feels a bit rushed between Lucifer and Jason because this is their second day in Konosuba. No this does not mean they will love each other or even be in a romantic relationship. So please comment if you see any mistakes or have any questions on how this goes, I usually just write just one chapter for a whole week because of work, so plenty of time to ask and for me to improve my writing. I have no beta reader's or using AI for any of this so any actual critisism is appreciated and will be replied to before the next chapter. Thank you again for all your support for this and actually reading my junk. So until next time, see ya later.)

To be honest, so many tickets right off the bat is quite annoying. Besides being a lot to keep track of in chapter 1, the gacha loses a lot of its charm if it's not a gradual progression based on luck, but rather a flood of rolls right from the start.

I get it, but this is just a fun story I'm writing, yeah I can see how the chaos gacha can feel bloated. I really do but I at least want to either get to season 1 end or season 2. Then take a break from this story to write another. I will probably only make without any of this, but I would only do stuff I like or have watched and feel like doing it. But thanks for the critique, I will see if I can slow the tickets when the sloth curse is broken, which is why the story is slowed.
 
I'm enjoying this so far and hopefully you continue to enjoy writing it even when it challenges you at times.
