I was walking home to my apartment after a long day of work. I worked at a convenience store that paid me minimum wage, not enough to even to come close to paying the bills. I had just been fired from my previous job, so I had to quickly find a job so I could at least pay the bills while I thought of another way to gain more money. If only my family was alive, I could ask for help from them or get advice from them. They had died a year ago in a car accident because of a drunk driver, causing my mom, dad, and brother all to die on the same night. I was devasted that day as I fell into deep depression and started drinking until I passed out. Only after going to therapy, I was able to start functioning in society once again.
I was pulled out of my reverie as I heard "Hey, Teddy!" called out a child. I had always been nice to the kids that lived in my neighborhood, always hoping they ended up not like a bum like me. I walked up to the child and said, "What's up Mark, how've you been?". Mark picked up his soccer ball and said, "just been playing soccer, I hope to be like Ronaldo when I grow up!" I was happy that the kid had such enthusiasm for his dream and hoped he achieved, "I hope you achieve your dream Mark, well I have to head home, keep practicing and work hard". Mark then walked back to the playground with his soccer ball and continued to practice.
I proceeded to open the door to my apartment and looked at the mess in front of me, trash all over the couch, living room table, and on the floor. The dishes were still unwashed and there was a foul smell coming from the trash that had been there over a month. "Jeez, this reeks, I should clean this tomorrow" as I proceeded to my bed and laid there pondering on what I should do to be able to pay the upcoming bills. "If only I had superpowers that could give me money or people that could clean for me and do my job" Hah. Just the thought of this made me laugh in my head. I then set my alarm for 6 am and quickly fell asleep.
I woke up to feeling something nudging me and speaking to me, I couldn't make out the voice as I had just woken up. Thinking that it was just a dream, I tried to fall back asleep until I realized that the figure had just screamed "MASTER, WAKE UP." "Huh?" Master? What the fuck was going on? Who was calling me master? I quickly opened my eyes to see a huge figure standing at least 8 feet tall standing over me, the figure had long black hair and white wings coming from its back. Dark blue eyes and a muscular physique. "Master, you have finally woken up, I am Noctarion, I am your first summon from your skill, all you have to say is 'status' and you will see a screen pop up." Many thoughts were racing through my head. Why was this huge creature in my apartment! Skill? Why was it calling me master? I quickly suppressed those thoughts as I said "Status", I then saw a huge window with pop up in front of me.
[Teddy Smith]

[agility-5]
[vitality-2]
[skills- none]
[system-SSS rank Gacha]
I was shocked, I didn't know what to say. I had just received a gift that I could not fathom. I immediately thought back to my brother always mentioning to me about stories from novels where the main character had a system just like this! "You should read the description of the system" the big-winged man said. "Hey, just wondering, what exactly are you." I said, "I am an angel that was pulled as your first summon, master". I figured, as I finally realized after I had completely woken up. I then followed Noctarion's advice and read the description.
[SSS rank Gacha description- The SSS rank Gacha is a system in which you put get skills, summons, and items every day by using the system. As you level up, you will gain more features to the system]
The system was pretty vague as to its description, however, what excited me was that I could get skills, summons, and items for free! Who knows how much money I could get, I could pay off my rent! The black-haired angel looked at me and laughed, "Master, you should stop being excited and use your free gacha pull as I was yesterday's pull." I quickly came out of my reverie when I heard those words, I then said "Gacha" instinctively as I saw a wheel with countless symbols that I could not understand appear in front of me. I quickly grabbed the huge lever on the side of the wheel and watched as the wheel spun rapidly until it landed on a three-gold symbol, all the symbols were gold, but this was one of the few that had three symbols. I was excited as to see what I would get until a huge gold beam came out of the wheel.
"What is that?" me and Noctarion said in unison.
