I gazed at the jackpot, knowing that hitting it would not only bring me luck but also make me a lucky charm on the streets. With my percentage of luck boosted everything good that could ever happen would seem more likely to happen Sess was within my reach.
Alright,e on! game face, game face! I pped my face a few times as I prepared to y the gamble of a lifetime.
Click!
The wheel whizzed into motion, a blur of vibrant colors whipping past my eyes, ck, white, green, red - My heart was pounding out my chest as I waited for this spin that began slowing down.
It slowed... slowed... almost there.... and stopped!
[Congrats Mr. Axel! You''ve got the colour Red! HP will now be increased by 2.50+]
Fuck... A sigh escaped my lips as my shoulders dropped back in disappointment. Well, it doesn''t matter I''ve got two more right? [Yes you do. Spin again whenever you are ready Mr. Axel :D]
Click!
The wheel whizzed into motion, a blur of vibrant colours whipping past with speed, yellow, green, dark blue, orange.
It slowed... slowed... almost there.... and stopped!
[Congrats Mr. Axel! You''ve got the colour Orange! 100 BP has been added to your currencies.]
Watching that made me quite literally lose 10 years off my life span none of the colours were anywhere near the fucking colour ck or white either. This wheel had to be rigged.
[Spin again whenever you are ready Mr. Axel :D]
Fuck whatever...
Click!
The wheel whizzed into motion, a blur of vibrant colours whipping past with speed, Purple, yellow, light blue, dark blue.
It slowed... slowed... almost there.... and stopped!
[Congrats Mr. Axel! You''ve got the colour Dark Blue! The stat: Strength increases by 2.50+] No... this. This can''t be.
Defeated, Rel was on his knees, having lost all hope in himself and in this world. He came to a realization.
His true inner feelings, the so-called gambling addiction, grew within him as the seconds went by, and an idea appeared in his head as if something had clicked within the inner tail of his soul.
Anger, disappointment, and resentment were created just for this moment. The man who gritted his teeth and tightened his hand felt every type of negative emotion that flowed through his bloodstream.
An ability was created just for this moment.
[Author''s Hidden Ability... Gaslighting.]
"System..."
[Yes, Mr. Axel? :D]
"Remember that time when you almost put me in danger, and I was this close to dying?" A pinch of his finger showed the distance of how close he was to dying. "Not only was I mad, but I was going insane for not winning."
[I certainly do, but I promise it won''t happen again.]
"No, but the fact that this went through only meant that you should''ve had measures for this even if it did happen." Rel pressed forth, trying to corner the system.
[I''m deeply sorry that it did happen, but I''m sure this was only a mistake :(]
"A mistake? My life that you previously put into danger, a mistake? I don''t think I could ever forgive you for that."
[Mr. Axel... Please forgive me. I didn''t think my system would ever breach, but this was only just a pure coincidence that it even happened.] The system pleaded to stop Axel from getting any more anger.
"If you want me to forgive you, system, then you could... make it up with a few more spins."
[Okay, fine. Just as long as you forgive me :D]
That was the extent of shithousery Rel was as a human being.
[5 minutester...]
[Congrats, Mr. Axel! You''ve gotten ck. The percentage you got out of 25 was... 50%! The jackpot was hit to the max! The wheel closes in 3 seconds... The wheel has been closed.]
FWOSH
Hehehe, I chuckled out loud, and what began as chuckling turned intoughter. HAHAHAHAAH, I DID IT, I''VE WON!
I felt my body ascend into the air and as if information flowed through my head I felt I was floating through the skies.
Throughout heaven and earth...
I alone, am the transmigrated one. As the wave of sunlight hit my face as if the heavens were praising my name in its glory.
Then a flush of guilt hit the back of my spine bringing me back to reality as I didn''t know what kind of person I had be in that moment, and I just guilt-tripped the system into doing such a thing for me. I don''t think I''ll ever do that again...
As I sat in the chair waiting, One by one everyone came in. The first person would be him. "Oh! I didn''t think that anyone would waltz into the room like this" Lan replied as he looked at me with a surprised look on his face.
"Afternoon, club president." I quickly got up from my seat and politely bowed to Lan who brought out food from what looked like to be from Allens Cafe.
"Would you like me to help you set up the food for the meeting?" I asked eyeing the food he had brought. It seemed that he bought a whole lot of fresh food from the cafe since the aroma was leaking out of the bags he was carrying.
"Yes please then, Rel." He handed me a few bags as I brought tes out of the kitchen and I beganying out the tes I ced Turkey and Cranberry Panini onto them while also adding the Caprese Wrap next to them in front of each seat. Lan also ced sets of drinks in the centre I used perceptive mind to analyse the drinks quickly to see the benefits. [Analyising drinks... Analysingplete.]
[Caramel Mhiato: Energizing Boost: Sipping this brings a subtle energy lift, improving mood and focus. (5 hour duration)]
[Vani Latte: Soothing Serenity: This imparts a calm and rxing feeling, reducing stress. (5 hour duration)]
[Hazelnut Mocha: Velvety Indulgence: Enjoy a smooth,forting texture for a pampering experience. (5 hour duration)]
[Honey Lavender Latte: Floral Harmony: Experience a pleasant floral aroma, promoting inner peace and bnce. (5 hour duration)]
Not much of a difference now that I look at the sets of drinks, so I''ll just take the caramel mhiato.
Getting back into my seat, I took the drink from the middle and waited for the next few people.
As expected, Jan arrived 10 minutes early.
"Hey Rel, how''s it going?" Jan smiled as he took a seat next to me.
"Not bad. You?" I replied to Jan as I watched Lan begin writing down some things on the whiteboard.
As Jan and I conversed about the tests for theory, shortly after, everyone came into the room with looks towards the food.
The same usual suspects came in bunches as always: Cam, Lyra, and Valencia went through the double doors first, followed by Alice and Jae Yoona, then Noah and Miya. Maybe not Bazz, though he came in alone and Louise followed through afterwards.
"Oh, this breakfast club certainly lives up to its name," Valencia said to Lyra and Cam as she eyed the food on the meeting table.
Cam and Lyra looked uninterested in the food, but they looked at the drinks on the table and excitedly sat across from Jan and Bazz as Valencia walked over to sit with them as well.
"Aye, Miya, ain''t that the drink you''ve been wanting to try out?" Noah pointed towards the Hazelnut mocha drink. n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Yes... I guess you''re right," Miya agreed as the two sat down next to Rel on his right.
Alice and Jae Yoona sat in the seats next to the club president, and everyone settled down, ready.
Lan, who stood up with all his drawings of France, Australia, and Italy on the board, was ready to be presented at today''s meeting.
With a fake cough to cut the noise, Lan began, "Okay, guys, wee to the first meeting of the year of Breakfast Club!" Lan in front of the whiteboard greeted us with a weing gesture as his hands spazzed in the air.
"''Yay...''" Like everyone at the table, the ten of us in unison apuded our president''s wee as we chowed down on our food.
"This food is pretty good. What the hell is in this?" Noah spoke out loud.
"Noah, your manners," Miya told him off as he silently chewed on his food.
"Hmph! I like the first-year energy in here." Lan nodded, impressed by the actions of the group. "Anyways, let''s get started with today''s meeting! So, here in the Histories breakfast club, we like to visit all sorts of ces around the world. And since we have a bigger club than usual, they upgraded the room because of the membership increase. But judging by the look on your faces, it doesn''t seem to be something out of the ordinary." Lan looked around the room as everyone ate politely.
"This just looks like one of those unused rooms I have back at home," Louise pointed out as he took a sip of his drink.
"Yeah, this room looks pretty normal," Valencia said while eating her wrap.
"Eh, whatever, anyways, since you guys joined this club, we also have a lot of benefits as being HBF Members! We get discounts on foods all around the world! Ain''t that cool?" Lan pointed towards a paper and ripped out the 25% discount that was written on the board, and everyone, seemingly reading the room, apuded.
p, p, p.
"So the first thing on the agenda today is our first trip will be in France where we will go visit A famous museum in France and write a report about your favourite item or collection that you saw there. Afterwards, we will head to a Michelin-level restaurant to discuss our findings!" Lan seemed to pitch everyone in with the words France, which caused quite amotion, and he was just standing there proud.
"This trip will be in 2 weeks from now, so I''d like you guys to prepare before then. And if you''d like, you guys can stay around in the club room to the game or just study and chill. We have all the basic things for a club room, but anyways, you guys are free to go now that our meeting is done."

Authors Notes:
- The ability: Gaslighting is not visible to the system, so it won''t be able to detect what ''gaslighting'' is, but it is effective. (?╥?﹏?╥?)
- Bazz waited at the usual spot where he and Jan meet after sses, which is at the front gates of the academy, but he forgot that they had a meeting, which was why he showed up alone. (.???)
- The reason 3rd years and 2nd years don''t appear in the breakfast club is that there was a horrific event that happened to the previous students in the club, which led to its renaming as Histories Breakfast Club. ( ′?` )
- Lan uses his yearly tactic of providing food at the start of the meeting to make sure everyone stays to hear his meetings. ???? ˉ???ˉ?? )?
- Axel is a gambling addict. (*?????)
