Chapter 135: Better luck next time!
They quickly lost count of how many times he filled her womb with his thick cum, and only when Liya’s body finally reached its surprisingly high limit did they collapse onto the bed still tangled together and fall into a deep, exhausted sleep.
....
After a long, comfortable sleep — Nova’s eyes slowly opened. Liya was still entangled with him, her head resting on his chest as she gazed up at him with a soft, lingering smile.
Both of them were still completely naked. They had slept peacefully after the intense, drawn-out sex that had finally released an entire year of Nova’s pent-up frustration from constant training inside the system space.
Nova smiled back and gave her plump ass a gentle squeeze.
"Tell me... how much time has passed inside the system training space, including the training?"
{"Hann... hmmm... don’t do that. I’m still sensitive. You completely wrecked my body,"} Liya mumbled, shifting slightly. {"As for your question... you trained for one full year, and then we had sex for an entire day without stopping."}
"Hmm... but it only felt like a several hours to me. I didn’t think it was a whole day."
{ Hmph! You were like a hungry demon who didn’t know how to stop. You didn’t even realize you pounded me for an entire day. }
Nova stayed quiet for a moment. He had to admit she was right — his sex drive had become far more intense after the evolution. He sat up, pulled Liya comfortably onto his lap, and planted a soft kiss on her lips.
"How long was I asleep?"
{ Two days. }
Nova’s eyes widened slightly. "That long...?"
{ You were exhausted... or maybe you just felt too comfortable to wake up. But you don’t have to worry. Only a little over one day has passed outside in the Abyss, and even less time in the human continent. }
Nova nodded. "Then let’s do the gacha right away. I need to find a way back to the human continent soon."
{ Wait... let’s clean ourselves first. We still smell like sex. }
The next second, Liya waved her hand. A soft light washed over both of them, leaving their bodies completely clean and refreshed.
Even so, she didn’t put any clothes on either of them — she clearly preferred staying naked with him.
Nova watched her clean them with just a simple gesture and couldn’t help speaking out loud.
"I wish I could do that in the real world... clean myself and everything else with just a wave of my hand."Liya looked at him and smiled.
{ There are skills like that. Want to buy one?}
"No thanks. I’d rather focus on the gacha first before spending any more Evolution Points. Show me how many gacha keys I can get with the Evolution Points I have right now."
[Total Evolution Points: 428,254,960]
Nova looked at the remaining points with satisfaction. Even after all the upgrades, he still had hundreds of millions left. He just hoped he could get something useful from the gacha.
{ I should warn you though, } Liya said. { You remember, right? You just got resurrected, so your luck is pretty bad right now. That’s why you didn’t receive any Luck Points as a reward. }
Nova understood. She was right. He had probably used up most of his luck already — first by obtaining the Chronos Tear and using it, then by avoiding death twice in a row: once when saving his wives, and again with his own resurrection.
Nova gulped and nodded. "It’s alright... waiting won’t bring my luck back. Maybe I can still get something good. Let’s at least try. How many gacha keys can I buy with what I have right now?"
{ One gacha key costs 10,000 Evolution Points. With your current total, you can purchase 42,825 keys. }
Nova thought for a moment. He decided it would be smarter to test the waters first instead of dumping everything at once. Even with so many points, there was still a chance he might get nothing useful.
"Use two hundred million first. Don’t spend all the Evolution Points."
Ding!
[You have successfully purchased 20,000 Gacha Keys]
[Total Evolution Points remaining: 228,254,960 EP]
Nova nodded after confirming the number of keys. He crossed his fingers for good luck. Even Liya looked a little tense this time.
She adjusted herself more comfortably on his lap, her soft naked body pressing against him as she quietly began reading his thoughts and emotions again.
Nova decided that using a small number of keys wouldn’t change anything in this situation. Since his luck was already bad, he might as well go big from the start.
"Use 500 keys at once."
The gacha wheel lit up with a bright radiance and began to spin rapidly. After a few seconds, it slowed and finally stopped.

A long string of "Better luck next time!" continued to appear one after another.
Nova’s expression gradually stiffened as he watched the results.
"As expected... my luck has really gone to shit," Nova muttered, shaking his head in annoyance.
Liya leaned in closer and kissed him softly on the lips.
{ Don’t worry, darling. It’s a good thing we still have so many gacha keys. Even with your bad luck, we can afford to play big and still have a chance to get something useful. }
Nova let out a long sigh. "Alright... it’s not like we can do anything about it right now. Use 1,000 keys in one go."
The wheel spun again.

Nova stared at the results with a complicated expression. At least this time he had gotten something other than empty messages.
the old Nova had been in his current position, his head would have probably exploded from pure frustration. Even after spending so many gacha keys, all he had received was one A-rank skill and a handful of stat points.
{ See... it wasn’t a complete waste this time, } Liya said with a soft smile.
Nova nodded with a small smile of his own and decided to check the skill he had just obtained.
++++
[Omnivision]
[Rank: A]
Discription:
[Allows the user to view his surroundings from a high aerial perspective, creating a real-time map in his mind. He can zoom in on distant locations, track enemy movements, observe terrain, and detect powerful mana signatures within the skill’s range. As the skill evolves, its range and clarity increase, eventually allowing it to perceive through most concealment techniques.]
++++
Nova carefully read through the description, a thoughtful look appearing on his face.
"So this skill is similar to Instinct Dominion, but it focuses more on vision. It gives me a clear, zoomable aerial view from above... almost like a drone. It sounds a lot like those ’divine sense’ techniques from cultivation novels."
{ Yeah, you understood it correctly, } Liya replied. { It’s going to be a very useful skill, so you should be a little happy. At least this pull wasn’t a complete waste. }
Nova nodded slowly, still looking at the skill description.

[A/N]
I made a few adjustments to the amount of Evolution Points (EP) and Fate Points (FP) Nova received. I discovered some calculation errors, so I corrected the values in the previous Chapters as well. As a result, the current totals are different from what they were before, so please don’t mistake this for an inconsistency.
I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding. I’ll be much more careful with my calculations going forward, and I promise this won’t happen again. (╥﹏╥)

Thanks for reading....
