I Became a 6★ Gacha Character

The addition of three new party members wasn't just about increasing numbers. It wasn't simply about higher attack power and faster monster clearing due to more people—

It meant the combat style had completely changed.

However, it hadn't become more complex. Rather, it had become so straightforward that viewers were cheering at how satisfying it was. Looking at the three new additions, it was easy to see why.

Manaashi, a high-rank warrior boasting the unique toughness of his non-human race, even without a star rating.

McDonagh, with his innate 5★ physical abilities and decent sword skills honed through consistent training.

And Lukius, who might fall short of the other two in specs but boasted his trademark "luck."

I'd thought these three had nothing in common, but on second thought, they shared one major similarity. Whether from the Kingdom, the Empire, or even another world, they were all melee warriors.

"...Behind! Monsters suddenly appeared behind us!"

The battles that naturally occurred as we explored the 53rd floor. We couldn't always avoid them, and sometimes monsters spawned right around us.

This time, just as we finished off some charging centaurs and were regrouping, a goblin infantry unit appeared right in front of us. With an orc javelineer seemingly in command, they charged at us in orderly formation without hesitation.

But they were still just goblins. We were essentially an overpowered party with three new 5★-level characters added. What was manageable with five became a one-sided massacre with eight.

I silently raised my shield and charged at the goblins, with Manaashi right behind me. As I planted my shield in the ground to meet the approaching enemies, Manaashi and Lukius leapt in with perfect timing.

"Shiek, shik—! New enemies! For the Goddess!"

"Hehah! What an easy job!"

Goblins smashed against my planted shield and tumbled to the ground. The orc javelineer hurriedly threw something like a rod-shaped grenade from his waist, but it was no match for Manaashi's charge, his scales gleaming as he bulged with muscle.

Shield clashed with shield, the impact alone disrupting their formation. Into that broken line charged the massive naga warrior, making even the orc look goblin-sized.

He was like a living battering ram, his muscular serpentine body undulating with aura as he charged forward with his trident. It was like watching cavalry slaughter infantry. Right behind him came Lukius with his longsword.

He must have learned a thing or two from the Swordsmanship Guild. Gripping his ordinary longsword with both hands, he used a half-swording technique—one hand on the hilt, the other on the blade—to precisely stab between the armor of tumbling goblins, methodically turning them into mana stones. All while miraculously dodging blind thrusts through sheer luck.

...You know, it had been a while since I'd seen such orthodox swordsmanship. This kind of style was typically used by nobles interested in swordsmanship or somewhat old-fashioned knights, not adventurers or mercenaries who relied heavily on mana and skills.

"Is Lukius perhaps from a knightly background?"

"That guy?"

"He seems to be flailing about wildly, but his swordsmanship is incredibly systematic. I thought his gait was stable, but he's even more skilled in swordsmanship than I expected."

To the point where even McDonagh, who cleared out centaurs alongside Katie with his sword talent, was impressed. Considering that McDonagh could disperse Katie's ice aura with a single sword, you could imagine how impressive Lukius's swordsmanship must be.

In short, we'd added a 3-meter living battering ram who'd finished bulking up, plus two innate 5★-level sword prodigies. Even without Grace and Han Se-ah's support, we'd already formed a full 5-person melee DPS party.

With me and Manaashi charging in bodily, Katie and Lukius with their nimble movements and excellent sword skills, and McDonagh balancing offense and defense with his shield and arming sword. At this point, we could easily handle two monsters at once even if spawns got messed up.

"Good work, everyone. I'll store the mana stones in the inventory and we'll sort them out when we reach a safe zone."

"Shiek- Spoils of war. Perhaps I should make an offering to the temple."

"By the way, storing items in thin air... Is this your magic, Hero? It's amazing. Normally we'd have had to discard most of our luggage by now due to the weight."

-All this bitch does is pick up mana stones and move them... Makes her even more of a porter...

-Having more sword-wielders makes the battles so damn smooth lol

-How the fuck is the total melee DPS 26 stars. This is insane, is this even right?

-Is this RPG-style power inflation? Scary as hell.

The orc javelineer who couldn't even squeak before turning into mana stones after throwing a few grenades, and the goblins who rolled helplessly on the ground before offering their necks and groins to Lukius's thrusts and becoming mana stones. For 53rd floor monsters, especially ones that suddenly spawned to induce continuous battles, it's too pitiful an end. The viewers just cackled without any tension.

Viewers could be strict yet quick to laugh.

They might send a popular streamer to rock bottom for a thoughtless remark, but they'd also make jokes and laugh about trivial things.

Saying it like this might sound like thousands of people ganging up on one person, but with sufficient financial compensation, it shouldn't matter, right?

So, just like now.

"Hmm..."

-Come on, let's spin the roulette again! Are you ready, Han?

-At this point, not encountering an ogre might be part of the gimic? maybe?

-How long are you going to keep killing just goblins. I'd believe it if you said this was the 3rd floor, not the 53rd

-Are you planning to become a hero who only kills goblins without climbing the tower?

-Level up, change equipment, learn new skills. For what? Just to kill goblins www

Three 5★ companions who temporarily joined according to the scenario, battles that had become so fast and smooth that people said the genre had changed, and the insane momentum of pushing straight to the desired location without any detours.

Without any interference, trusting her instincts and moving forward, what awaited Han Se-ah was always a genuine safe zone that warmly welcomed her.

"Something, something's wrong with this game... I mean, something needs to happen for the game to progress, how can nothing happen for two whole weeks? Is this even statistically possible? Is not encountering anything the real gimmick?"

In other words, she'd miraculously avoided both berserk ogres and fake safe zones.

The viewers laughed gleefully, saying that even the "lucky" Lukius couldn't beat the "unlucky" Han Se-ah. It was a bizarre phenomenon where a game walkthrough streamer wandered aimlessly for two weeks without showing anything, yet the viewers laughed it off.

...But seriously, how could she only encounter real safe zones for two weeks straight when 5 out of 12 were fake? Was that fake safe zone I experienced at the beginning a fixed event, like a tutorial?

"Hehe, we may not have completed the request, but the mana stones alone are quite profitable."

"But we haven't found even a clue about the tower's anomaly... Hero, are you willing to start exploring again?"

"...Let's rest for a day, no, two days."

No matter how big the inventory was, we couldn't carry an infinite amount of food. Plus, with three more large, hungry high-rank warriors joining us, our combat speed might have increased, but we had to return without discovering anything.

The food pouch was empty, but the mana stone pouch was full—a truly golden harvest situation. Thanks to Han Se-ah's simple-minded insistence on splitting the mana stones equally, Lukius's mouth was stretched into a grin that wouldn't come down.

Manaashi was all smiles, talking about making an offering, while Lukius grinned about earning gold coins just from killing goblins. Only McDonagh, who'd developed some sense of propriety as the youngest in the knights' order, seemed worried about the stagnant exploration.

"Haah, as I said, let's rest for two days and then set out again. Everyone, get some good rest and take care of your condition before we meet again."

"Understood, Hero. Two days... I guess I'll look around the underground city."

But what could we do? We'd run out of food and already returned. With nothing but a fat gold pouch, Han Se-ah slumped in the mansion without completing a single quest.

Most of the requests from the Magic Tower and the stone dwarves were related to ogres, so without progressing the story or obtaining special enhancement stones, her in-game gold pouch got fatter while her real-life bank account swelled with teasing donations. But then—

"Uhahat! Hero, look at this!"

"What is it, all of a sudden? ...A jewel, no, an enhancement stone?"

"The special enhancement stone the stone dwarves were selling! I finally got one—"

"I'll buy it! But where did you get such a rare item?"

"I won it! Some noble fellows in the tower were bored and set up a big gambling den!"

And so Lukius demonstrated to her why he was called "Lucky" Lukius, setting her stagnant quest window in motion again.

...I'd been wondering why the quest window hadn't been appearing lately. Was it paused because we skipped the enhancements?
