*Damien Pov*
Fuck.
Fuck this shit.
It's been 18 years since I arrived in this shithole. this wasn't cool at all. This world is a lot more hard-core than I thought. For the first 18 years, my system did jack shit to help me. Thank God I wished for Self Sustenance, although it got optimized. I'm not complaining though, I can still eat and stuff but it gets converted to energy for me. Kinda like drinking coffee, but different. Oh, my system is active but hasn't done much other than show some basic information. I call status in my mind and the classic blue screen appears in front of me

18 YEARS FOR GOD DAMN NOTHING! All that effort into training my sword for basic skill, I had no way to get my Zampakuto upgraded, no way to change forms to hollow, and this system has no fucking Quincy abilities. The fuck!? Scammed. I've been scammed dammit. At least I'm not ugly, I guess.
I stand at an average height, around 5'10", with a lean and athletic build. My dark brown hair falls slightly over my forehead, giving me a relaxed and carefree appearance. My hazel eyes sparkle with annoyance. A hint of stubble on my jawline gives me a more mature look, even though I still maintain a youthful charm. I'm not riding my dick okay, I just look good. I'm wearing a set of jeans and a white T. It's basic but works well. The T is enchanted to self-clean. Yeah, this world has a fuckton of magic and shit.
The continent is called Cyron. I'm unaware if the planet even has a name of its own, but Cyron is a supercontinent divided into four separate realms. We have The White Forest, home to the druids and many other Mystical creatures. It has no ruling force but covers a massive amount of land. Many adventures go there to hunt and gain experience. The deeper you go the stronger the creatures, as far as I know. Then we have the Kingdom of Vesperia, it's the smallest kingdom but has a massive edge in terms of its percentage of mages compared to other populations. Most other nations have around a 12% Mage to Person ratio, but Vesperia has a fucking 40% ratio. They are also home to the Spire Academy, the most prestigious academy for young mages in all of Cyron. I plan on moving to its capital city here soon.
Then we have the Solterra Empire. It covers 40% of Cyron and is fucking massive. Its only really interesting point is that they get power from the various God's. They exist here and are very much lovers of their worshipers. They have a massive expanse of worshipers who have been blessed so they have the best healers of all. Lastly, the place I've been in for 18 years, is the Emberlyn Plains. it's home to various tribes, making the map of it a little absurd. Tribes are born and die out daily. I've been living alone in a cave for 18 years, sometimes practicing Zanjutsu on some tribesmen that wander by my cave. I've never had a problem killing, it just feels natural. Maybe a part of my system but that's not important!
Today my system finally unlocks. All the features will be exposed to me and available for use. I've waited 18 years for this and if nothing changes I'm gonna fucking lose it. Being alone for 18 years isn't fun, and I'm done being alone. I need strength but honestly, it's getting to me and I don't wanna go insane.

Wow, I can't say I expected that. Tyrant, what an op ability. It doesn't say it exclusively works on people so technically I can destroy anything if I cut it 100 times. That's beyond busted. On another note, I looked into the Spiritual Energy stat, and it's not the best. The weakest souls possess 10th-tier Spiritual Energy. I'm basically at the level of an academy graduate in soul society. Can I even maintain Skikai for more than 2 seconds with that little Spiritual Energy? I guess I'll find out later. First, let's look at those tickets.
In the top left of my status screen, There's a Gacha tab and Summoning Tab. The Gacha is divided into 3 tiers, Basic, Advanced, Supreme. Each cost 100 souls of varying type. Basic needs 100 lesser souls, Advanced 100 Medium Souls, Supreme 100 grand souls. So it's 1000 to draw 10. I'm assuming the better the Gacha the better the rewards? There's no explanation so I'm just gonna hope that's the case and I'm not being scammed. What kind of bleach system doesn't have anything to do with the Quincy? I'm still mad about that.
The Summon tab is similar, divided into Bronze, Silver, and Gold. It Takes 1000 souls for one Summon. There is no 10 Summon. That's fucking expensive isn't it? There's a display of how many souls I have. 128 Lesser Souls, 1 Medium Soul. I guess it took the souls of the tribesmen I killed. That's cool I guess, saves me some time. but what do I do first? It says the Summoned guys will be 100% loyal so I don't gotta worry about that. Wait, so I could get Haribell and actually get her? I don't want a Herem but shit, thats my waifu right there. Focus, Focus Damien. I'll Summon first so I don't have to be alone anymore. It's kinda sad but I'm Lonely.
[Use Silver Ticket to Summon?]
Yes!!
