Ken looked at the wall of text and felt a sense of achievement flooding his body. He was pleasantly surprised that there were bonus rewards for going above the specified tasks.

He first decided to check out the lottery ticket, considering that the Elixir sounded rather self explanatory.

Not wasting any time, he selected the Lottery menu.

In the next moment, a large wheel appeared in front of his face with hundreds of tiles with different words and pictures written upon it. He couldn\'t read the words, but he could make out the pictures.

At a glance he could see a bat, ball, cleats, glove and a brain.

\'This must be a classification of what the draws are?\' he thought inwardly.

Above the wheel in bold writing was the words "Bronze Lottery Draw" with an arrow next to it. Out of curiousity he clicked the arrow, only for another smaller wheel to appear in front of him.

This wheel was completely greyed out with the words "Silver Lottery Draw" written in bold above it. He clicked the arrow again, making the screen change to a much smaller wheel.

"Gold Lottery Draw… I wonder what things I could get there?" Ken almost drooled at the thought, however he quickly shook his head. There was no point in dreaming, he still didn\'t know what benefits the bronze wheel would bring.

After composing himself, he returned to the much larger wheel and looked at the text beside it.

Notice: 1 Bronze tier Lottery Ticket to spin the wheel. User will have 1 chance to re-spin if they deem the skill unsuitable.

\'Oh nice! Not only is it a skill, I\'ll also get to re-spin if it\'s garbage.\' Ken thought with a smile.

He had never been a gambler in his previous life as he rarely had any spare money after spending it on booze and cigarettes. Therefore the prospect of spinning the wheel felt foreign and exciting.

Without further ado, he hovered his finger of the spin button before pressing down hard.

The wheel spun like lightning, quickly turning into a blur. Ken waited with bated breath as it began to slow down, producing the ASMR inducing clicks before finally stopping on a red tile with a picture of a ball.

[Congratulations, user has drawn the "Wind-up" pitching skill.]

[Wind up: Increases Pitching by 1 grade when using your wind up.]

Ken blinked a few times before a disappointed expression appeared on his face as he tried not to scream out profanities at the system.

\'What the hell? First you tell me I can\'t pitch for a whole year, now you want to give me a pitching skill!?\' Ken grit his teeth before pressing the Re-Spin button.

The wheel once again spun quickly, but he closed his eyes this time. His heart was beating almost as fast as the clicking noises of the wheel.

Soon enough, the wheel came to a stop, causing his anxiety to bubble up. If this was also a useless skill, he would probably cry.

[Congratulations, user has drawn the "Quick First Step" skill.]

[Quick First Step: Increase Agility by 1 grade when running one base.]

Ken peered through the gaps in his hands, trying to calm his anxious heart.

\'Yes! A useful skill!\' He pumped his fist in jubilation after reading the new skill. This was exactly what he needed if he wanted to rejoin the Seiko baseball club as a 1st baseman.

While this wouldn\'t help with fielding, this would certainly give him an edge in the batters box, or with stealing bases. There was a lot more to baseball than just swinging and hitting a ball, or even pitching.

His injury had forced him to take a step back from the pitchers mound and view the game from a different perspective. He had been reading up on the rules since his suspension, trying to fill in some gaps.

With this new skill, he was one more step closer to getting back into the team.

A dumb smile was painted on Ken\'s face as he sat back into his chair. Now that his anxiety had disappeared, he felt his body relax in response.

He contemplated jumping straight into bed, but he suddenly remembered that he had an elixir waiting for him to consume.

"Where is the inventory?" Ken mumbled, going back to the main window.

He then clicked on the System Shop, the only menu he had yet to explore. Another window appeared with most of the options greyed out with the symbol of a padlock next to their name.

SYSTEM SHOP

->Purchase Skills (Locked)

->Purchase Elixirs (Locked)

->Lottery Coupons (Locked)

->Inventory (Unlocked)

Ken\'s eyes lit up. It looked like he would be able to purchase things like Skills, Elixirs and even Coupons in the system shop. If he had to make an educated guess, these things should use the Major Points as currency.

With his dumb smile still situated on his face, Ken opened the Inventory menu and saw what he had been waiting for.

INVENTORY:

1 x C-grade Balance and Coordination Elixir

Description: Improves Balance and Coordination by a small amount depending on current grade.
