Cherreads

Chapter 39 - Bountiful rewards

The morning sun cast a golden sheen across the grand dining hall, its rays filtering through tall crystal windows and painting everything in warmth. The long table, set with silver and porcelain, soon bore a feast that could rival any royal banquet.

Stacks of fluffy buttermilk waffles steamed gently, their crisp edges awaiting a generous pour of maple syrup. Golden cheese eggs, creamy and rich, released an aroma that danced with the savory scent of thick-cut bacon—still sizzling, still glistening. Juicy sausages, perfectly browned, nestled beside warm, buttery biscuits that flaked at the lightest touch, served with the finest honey and grape jelly. Crispy hash browns laced with cheddar added a satisfying crunch, while pitchers of chilled orange and apple juice sparkled under the light, sweet and sharp in perfect contrast to the hearty meal.

The table itself felt like an invitation to pause, to indulge, and to begin the day not with urgency, but joy.

As they ate, the conversation turned to plans for the hours ahead.

"Before the morning territory meeting," Shin said between bites, "I plan to open all my treasure chests and do a round of summons. Afterward, I want the building and craft teams to begin preparations for the nursery. I'll also be placing the new builds from the gift packs."

Shego leaned back, stretching. "So what are we waiting for? Let's see what goodies you get this time."

"Alright, alright." Shin lifted his hand.

With a shimmer of cosmic energy, the [Wheel of Fortune: Sovereign's Blessing] manifested in midair. It hovered like a divine artifact, wreathed in radiant runes and hues that shimmered with the forces of fate, chaos, and possibility. Its segments pulsed with power—blessings, rare items, divine tokens, temporary buffs—and at the center, a radiant platinum marking: X10.

The atmosphere changed.

Reality itself seemed to tilt, favoring the man who bore the title The One Favored by Luck.

Shin grinned, dragon eyes glowing faintly with Voidlight. "Let's see what destiny owes me today."

He touched the wheel.

It roared to life.

Colors blurred into brilliance. Winds howled. Arcane symbols spiraled outward as the wheel spun faster and faster.

[Oh! It's accelerating beyond recorded parameters!] Heart squealed.

Then—

CLACK. CLACK. CLACK.

The wheel slowed.

Tension thickened.

Then silence… as the pointer landed squarely on the shimmering platinum center.

[Result: X10 – Supreme Fortune Activated!]

– Rewards Multiplied 10x

– Jackpot Unlocked

The system exploded with alerts:

• Legendary Artifact: [Crown of Convergence]

• Ultra Summon Unlocked: Choose 1 Divine Entity to Bind as Ally or Steed

[SHIN. YOU BROKE THE SYSTEM. AGAIN.] Heart gasped, practically vibrating with excitement.

Shin smirked as divine light flared around him. "Guess the wheel knows who its master is."

As the last reward settled, a second wheel shimmered into existence beside the first—larger, slower, etched with constellations and cloaked in divine light. Every click echoed across dimensions. Above it, radiant text formed:

[Divine Roulette – 1-Time Ultra-Summon Unlocked]

Choose your path. Choose your bond.

Ten segments began to stabilize, each showing the silhouette of a divine entity.

Divine Roulette Options:

1. Aurelion, the Starforged Wyrm

2. Nyssara, the Veiled Moon Huntress

7. Drakzeth, Void Hydra of the Abyss

8. Seravelle, Saint of the Celestial Choir

9. Raigon, Worldbreaker Behemoth

10. Mystery Option – ??? – Warning: Heart strongly recommends not choosing this.

Shin's gaze lingered on the swirling chaos of the Mystery Option—flickering between forms: a girl laughing, a blade humming, a dragon crying stars.

[Don't say it…] Heart whispered, inching away.

"I'm choosing the mystery," Shin declared, smirking.

The wheel didn't wait. It reacted—lightning crackled, space bent, and the wheel screamed with untamed laughter.

It spun.

And spun.

And spun.

Until—

CLACK.

[MYSTERY – UNSEALED]

You have summoned: Nyxetherion, The Boundless Formless – Child of Paradox and Potential

Class: ??? | Origin: Unknown | Alignment: Unknown | Loyalty: Imprinted on Shin

A tear split open in reality. Not a portal, but a wound in existence.

From it emerged a being of raw, shifting essence. A child cloaked in stardust. A wingless dragon. A weapon forged of dreams. A humanoid figure cloaked in robes woven from constellations. Their face shimmered between masculine, feminine, and something else entirely.

Its voice echoed like reversed music:

"Father… You spun the wheel. You chose the unknown. So I come forth—your paradox child. The wild card of fate."

Heart floated beside Shin, speechless. [You… didn't summon a being… You birthed a concept.]

System Alert:

– Unique Ally Obtained: Nyxetherion, the Boundless Formless

– Unlocks: [Wild Fate Domain] – All future random events now have a 25% chance to become Unique or Mythic

– Synergy: Counts as both Ally and Steed

– Trait Gained: [Paradox Link] – Nyxetherion can shift into weapons, armor, or companions mid-combat

Nyxetherion shifted into a massive dragon-wolf hybrid, curling beside Shin's throne like a sleeping myth.

Shin grinned. "Mystery well spent."

[You're never spinning anything unsupervised again.] Heart sighed.

With divine glow still flickering in the air, Shin summoned his treasure chests with a thought.

Ten Silver, eight Golden, and three Platinum chests materialized in perfect rows.

Heart hovered nearby, scroll in hand. [Let the loot storm begin.]

Shin stepped forward. The treasure chests shimmered in response, each one humming with sealed potential.

"Begin with the Silver," he said.

Heart nodded, waving her tiny hand. Ten silver chests clicked open in a wave, light bursting forth like fireworks.

[Silver Chest Rewards]:

– 500,000 Gold

– 2x Advanced Construction Scrolls

– 1x Rare Beast Egg: Silver Wyrmling (Water Element)

– 1x Territory Upgrade Material: Polished Sunstone

– 1x Blueprint: Skyforge Workshop (Epic)

"A wyrmling egg?" Shin raised a brow, lifting the translucent sphere. Inside, a baby dragon curled, scales a pale, aquatic silver, pulsing gently with life. "Water affinity. That'll pair nicely with the coral serpent core."

[I'll take care of it until the nursery is ready,] Heart offered, hugging the egg close.

"Much appreciated."

Shin turned to the next row. Golden Chests. These radiated authority—etched with runes of kingship and power.

"Let's see what gold buys the ambitious," he mused.

They opened all at once—flooding the room with light and energy.

[Golden Chest Rewards]:

– 1x [Skyflare Kirin Mount Egg] – Element: Lightning/Wind

– 100,000 System Points

Scrolls

The blueprint unfurled, depicting a fortress of skybound marble and floating towers.

[The Celestial Citadel… That's a capital-grade stronghold. You just pulled a royal-tier bastion from a Golden Chest!] Heart blinked in awe.

Shin smiled. "Looks like fate's in a generous mood."

Then he approached the final row—three Platinum Chests. Each one towered above the others, engraved with celestial beasts and pulsing with divine power. Their locks clicked open as if bowing to his presence.

[Platinum Chest Rewards]:

– 1x Supreme Evolution Stone

– 1x Legendary Crown: Crown of the Primordial Tempest

– 1x Unique Unit Creation Scroll

– 2x Mythic Resource Crates

– 1x Ascended Class Orb (Choose One: Warlord / Archsorcerer / Elemental Sovereign / Trickster Saint / Dragonkin Emperor)

The crown floated toward Shin—a masterpiece of ancient draconic design, wreathed in living stormlight and roaring wind.

[Crown of the Primordial Tempest – Equip Bonus]:

– +25% Lightning, Wind, and Storm Damage

– Grants [Sovereign Tempest Aura] to all troops within 500 meters

The Unit Creation Scroll glowed a deep violet—no preset race or type. Its magic pulsed, waiting for a masterstroke of vision.

[Unique Unit Creation Scroll – Effect]:

– Design a new unit type from scratch

– Attributes, class focus, racial base, and element can be defined

– Limit: One use

– Tier: Mythic Potential

Shin twirled the scroll between his fingers. "I'll save this for when inspiration strikes."

He turned to the Class Orb. Five options swirled within.

"Which one will you choose?" Heart asked, eyes wide.

Shin didn't answer right away. His gaze was calm, thoughtful… but within him, his soul burned with possibilities.

The flames of empire-building had only just begun.

Shin chuckled darkly. "Or keep them for my daughters and future generals. Bloodline empowerment starts now."

["Shin… that Destiny Crystal…"] Heart floated closer, her gaze fixed on the shimmering prism hovering above the Platinum Chests. ["That's not just rare. It's singular. You can fuse two bloodlines to create an entirely new heritage for your heirs."]

Shin's eyes narrowed, the wheels of ambition already turning. "Void and Lightning… or maybe Charm and Strategy… The combinations are endless."

["You can also save it,"] Heart added cautiously. ["Once fused, a new bloodline path becomes permanent in your lineage. It can influence not just your children… but your legacy."]

Shin pocketed the [Mythic Destiny Crystal], his voice like thunder wrapped in velvet. "Then I'll make sure the fusion is worthy of legends."

With a flick of his hand, the treasure rewards were absorbed into the vaults of his kingdom. The throne room calmed, though the air still shimmered with residual divinity. Nyxetherion, still in dragon-wolf form, exhaled softly—dreaming stars into the air.

Heart floated lazily in a loop. ["Soooo… what's next, oh wheel-breaker?"]

Shin's lips curled into a grin. "Capital expansion, nursery construction, and planning my next conquest."

["You make empire-building look like a morning workout."]

He laughed. "That was just the warm-up."

As he turned to leave, the system chimed once more—soft, almost reverent.

[New Title Acquired: Fateforger – One who bends destiny with will and wit.]

Effect: All future random events receive a +15% quality bias. Mystery options are 2x more likely to result in Mythic-tier outcomes.

Heart blinked slowly. ["You're literally crafting fate now."]

"About time," Shin said, already thinking ahead. "Let's meet the others and start designing the Sovereign Nursery. These wyrmlings and kirins won't raise themselves."

["On it, Supreme Dad."] Heart zipped off ahead, already drafting magical blueprints in the air.

Behind him, the Wheel of Fortune faded back into starlight, and the Divine Roulette dimmed to slumber. But the legacy they unleashed was only just beginning.

And far above, in the eyes of gods and monsters alike… a new legend began to shimmer into being.
