Multiverse Gacha

August was very happy, and the frustration of getting only two draws in a ten-draw had disappeared.

This was a world, even if it was just a inner world of only 100 square meters. But this world was not stagnant, it could grow.

You should know that this was the lowest-level common gacha draw. To be able to draw a damaged inner world seed was simply bursting with luck. Not to mention that he also drew a drop of Water of Life.

Moreover, this drop of Water of Life precisely restored the the world seed.

All these coincidences colliding together meant that his luck was extraordinary, exploding directly.

Although it was a desolate inner world shrouded in mist, August believed that one day, this world could definitely become a complete and flourishing one. And he would be the lord of the world.

With everything settled, August stood up and left.

The objective had been achieved. All three hunting tasks for level 2 were completed, marking a temporary conclusion.

However, when August arrived at the eighteenth floor, looking at the distant pond and the surrounding forest, he suddenly had some ideas.

He ran directly into the woods, took out a longsword, and started digging the ground as if it were a shovel.

After spending some time, he managed to dig out a tree. However, the roots were severely damaged. Nevertheless, the fact that he managed to dig it out was not easy.

August carried the tree, turned around, and entered the inner world.

Looking at the black soil under his feet, he quickly dug a hole and then planted the tree in it.

After doing all this, he poured a bucket of water on it.

This grayish world had nothing, but it had soil and air. Planting a tree should work, right?

As August was envisioning a future where this world would become a paradise with birds chirping and flowers blooming, the mist surrounding the tree suddenly enveloped it.

Soon after, the once lush green leaves began to rapidly turn yellow, ultimately becoming withered leaves.

Not only that, the entire tree decayed at a visible speed, ending up as a decaying piece of wood that seemed to crumble with a touch.

August, who snapped back to reality, widened his eyes at the scene.

"What's going on?"

Staring at the dead tree before him, it was truly hard to believe that this was the vibrant tree just a moment ago.

Looking at the black soil under his feet and the mist around him, August suddenly felt that this world was not as simple as it seemed.

August developed some speculations in his mind. He then turned around and returned to the eighteenth floor. This time, he dug up a small sapling.

Planting it again in the inner world, he closely watched the sapling.

Then, just like the previous time, the sapling quickly shed its leaves and rotted.

"Is it losing life force?"

August pinched the trunk slightly, and it directly turned into powder.

At this moment, August began to seriously observe this world.

This world was formed by the Inner World Seed absorbing his magical power, but from the current situation, this world might not have completed its gestation yet.

Like a fetus in a mother's womb needing nutrients to grow, this world probably needed something to promote its evolution. As for what it needed, August didn't know for sure.

With doubts in his mind, August returned to the dungeon and then headed straight to the upper levels.

Passing through the seventeenth floor and reaching the sixteenth floor, a Minotaur was just born.

Without saying a word, August directly grabbed one Minotaur and entered the inner world.

*ROOOOAR*

At the moment of entering the inner world, Minotaur suddenly let out an angry roar and fell into a state of madness.

However, strangely, this Minotaur did not attack August, instead, it ran around frantically.

This appearance made it seem like it was in great danger, fleeing for its life.

That was the feeling Minotaur gave August.

Swish~

And at that moment, the mist around Minotaur suddenly surged.

Then, it could be clearly seen that the mist around Minotaur became several times denser.

Minotaur's roars became more urgent, even turning into tragic cries, shocking August.

Bang~

With a sound of shattering, Minotaur disappeared.

However, what puzzled August was that this Minotaur did not drop any magic stones.

This scene made August have a terrifying guess—this world was feeding, as it needed nutrients for its evolution.

And the black soil under his feet and the surrounding mist were the means by which this world fed.

As for why he was unaffected, he and this world were already one, so naturally, he could not be harmed.

However, with this revelation, August's idea of creating an idyllic paradise outside the world fell apart.

Returning to the dungeon, August threw the three Minotaurs he encountered into the inner world.

Soon, these three Minotaurs followed in the footsteps of their predecessors.

"Devouring the life force of plants, devouring monsters, what about humans~?"

August had this conjecture, and this thought made August somewhat uncontrollable.

Curiosity could sometimes be deadly, especially in this dungeon where life was as trivial as dust.

In the end, in the end, August temporarily suppressed this idea.

August continued to move towards the upper levels, but along the way, all the monsters he encountered were thrown into the inner world, making them the nourishment for the inner world.

However, even after devouring so many monsters, August did not feel any changes in this world.

With doubts, August returned to Orario and his Familia.

As soon as he returned to the room, he saw Ais lying on his bed, asleep.

"Ais? Why are you here?"

"Mmm~?"

August's voice awakened Ais.

"August, you're back."

"I'm back. No, Ais, why are you here in my room?"

"I originally came to find you to go to the dungeon together, but you weren't here, and I accidentally fell asleep."

With these words, August felt a bit guilty.

This morning, he had rolled in the sheets with another woman, while Ais came looking for him.

"Where did you go?"

"I just came back from dungeon."

"Oh~"

Ais also saw the bloodstains all over August's body. Obviously, August had experienced a lot of battles.

"Then go wash up quickly, Loki said she wants you to come over tonight."

"Let me go over? What happened?"

"You left behind the wine from the last time, and Loki found it and drank it."

"Just let her drink it~"

August didn't mind, after all, he couldn't drink it himself.

"Loki said she had never drunk your wine before, so she wanted to ask where you bought it."

This made August speechless. Where did he buy it? He drew it from gacha.
