[Ding! gratutions, host, you have pleted today's diary entry and have earned 102 points. Currently, you have accumuted a total of 601 points.]

  "Done for the day!"

  Upon hearing the prompt in his mind, Arton immediately stopped his diary entry.

  "Finally saved up enough points."

  "601 points, acc to the rules of the diary system, I ow do oermediate draw, and one beginner draw."

  Arton murmured to himself, filled with anticipation.

  It's not surprising si had been almost a week since his st draw.

  It must be said, drawing prizes is enjoyable, but saving up points for the draw had been an ordeal for Arton.

  "Let's not wait for the high-level draw."

  "Let's go for an intermediate draw first."

  [Ding! 500 points will be deducted for the draw...]

  [Draw plete. gratutions, host, you have received "Lancer Servant Elizabeth Báthory Tempte (Beginner Level)", which will allow you to initially acquire the powers, experience, and talents of Lancer Elizabeth Báthory.]

  'Lancer Elizabeth Báthory?!'

  'Could this be the Little Dragon Girl from the Type-Moon world?'

  Arton thought to himself, raised an eyebrow, and quickly opehe detailed description of his reward.

  Soon, it all became clear.

  'Indeed, it's her. It's a det character tempte, but this intermediate draw's reward is of the same level as the st beginner draw.'

  'As expected, not every draw is going to be a jackpot.'

  Arton shook his head, sighed, and looked at the notes about the Little Dragon Girl.

  [Note: Using the "Lancer Servant Elizabeth Báthory Tempte (Beginner Level)" requires the user to have at least three of the following attributes: "Female", "Dragon", "Lancer", "Idol", "Singing", "Nobility", etc.]

  [The host's current personal attributes do not match the potential of using the "Elizabeth Báthory Tempte (Beginner Level)".]

  [Suggestion: You may bestow this tempte upon another person.]

  'As expected, the Little Dragon Girl's character tempte is han mine.'

  'However, among the Little Dragon Girl's attributes, there's even the "Singing" attribute.'

  'This really is, well, hard to ent on.'

  Thinking of the Little Dragon Girl's singing skills from the Type-Moon world, which are sidered disaster-level, the ers of Arton's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

  'Well, there's still 100 points left. Might as well use it up.'

  'System, give me a beginner draw.'

  [Ding! 100 points have beeed from the host, starting the draw...]

  [gratutions to the host, you have received "Beginner queror's Haki Awakening Potion". After ption, you will initially awaken queror's Haki.]

  "Eh! A beginner draw actually yielded a reward reted to queror's Haki?!"

  Arton raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised as he looked at the neeared test tube in his hand.

  Withiest tube, one could clearly see a dark red liquid flowing.

  Without much hesitation, Arton directly drank the potion from the bottle.

  After a moment, Arto a domineering energy surge within his body.

  With a lift of his eyebrow, he instinctively released this energy.

  Boom!

  A booming sound exploded.

  Invisible waves radiated from Arton to the surroundings.

  Before long, those ordinary people close to Arton colpsed to the ground, unscious.

  "Uh, this is really... ended up causing such a se uionally."

  "Definitely queror's Haki."

  "Looks like I o leave here first."

  Seeing the crowd that had colpsed around him, Arton smiled awkwardly and then headed towards a restaurant at the end of the street.

  ….

  Oher side, in a tavern hundreds of meters away.

  "It's time to go on stage, Uta."

  "The audience is waiting for you."

  "The tavern owner said he will give us a rge sum of travel expenses after your performance."

  In the backstage of the tavern, Gordon approached Uta with a gentle expression on his face.

  "Okay, I know, Gordon."

  "I'll go on stage now."

  Uta nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and was about to ast Gordon.

  Just then, a domineering aura swept by her side, causing Uta to stand still.

  "This... this feeling, Shanks?!"

  Uta's eyes widened in disbelief.

  Bang!

  At that moment, a sound awakea.

  She looked in the dire of the noise and saw that Gordon had colpsed on the ground.

  "Gordon, are you okay, Gordon?"

  Uta quickly rushed to him, asking anxiously.

  But soon, she realized that Gordon had just passed out, and there was nothing seriously wrong with his body.

  "Could it be queror's Haki?"

  "Did Shanks really e?"

  "No, it feels a bit different from Shanks."

  Uta furrowed her brows, helped Gordon to lie down on a couch, and then stepped out of the backstage into the bar's main hall.

  Here, she indeed saw the tavern owhe waiters, and the patrons, all in the same unscious state as Gordon.

  "What's going on?"

  "Wait, could it be Arton?"

  Uta's eyes widened, and she immediately opened her diary copy.

  Chapter 37: Chapter 37 – queror’s Haki awakening

  [inally, I had already received today's reward and didn't pn to tinue rec in the diary.]

  [But after two draws, I had to make a record.]

  "Arton is drawing again?"

  "I wonder what it will be this time?"

  Boa Hancock raised an eyebrow, her attention signifitly sharpened.

  [The first reward, "queror's Haki Awakening Potion (Beginner)."]

  [Just as its name suggests, this thing allowed me to awaken queror's Haki directly.]

  [Then, actally, I knocked out the people around me.]

  [I must say, this reward is quite ued.]

  [Imagihers gh life-ah battles before they have a ce to awaken queror's Haki, but here I am, awakening it just by drinking a potion.]

  [Tsk, tsk, I wonder what Hancock, Yamato, and the others would think if they knew.]

  [Photo: First attempt at queror's Haki, knog out bystanders.]

  "Is this, really queror's Haki?!"

  "Awakening just by taking a potion?!"

  Hancock stood up from her seat, unsciously bitihumb.

  Even though she was mentioned by Arton and would receive a point of credit, she could hardly care about that now.

  Her mind was entirely filled with the parisoween her awakening of queror's Haki and Arton's awakening.

  "The Diary System is so powerful."

  After a long time, Hancock let out a long sigh of admiration.

  Oher side, Yamato, another persoioned by Arton, was equally shocked.

  "So amazig, just drinking a potion awaken queror's Haki."

  "If my crappy dad knew about this, he would be quite surprised."

  "But still, what's even more amazing is Arton's ability to know the past and the future."

  "I wonder if my future includes defeating my crappy dad."

  Yamato, with s in her hands, eyes gleaming, stared at the diary repli front of her.

  "It's definitely possible, as long as Artoions my name a few more times."

  "I'll surely bee strong enough to defeat my crappy dad."

  "Please, Artoion me a few more times in the diary."

  Yamato csped her hands together, praying in thought.

  At the same time, Gion, Hina, Charlotte Smoothie and others, after seeing the photo of Arton knog out civilians with queror's Haki, went into silence.

  After a long while, everyone couldn't help but express their admiration.

  Gion: "Awakening queror's Haki really is a simple matter, huh, hehe."

  Hina: "queror's Haki… this man is going to beore and more dangerous."

  Ulti: "If I were to drink this queror's Haki Awakening Potion, I should be able to awaken queror's Haki tht?"

  Charlotte Smoothie: "Hehe, what an iing man. If it es te, Arton would be a good choice."

  Jewelry Bonney: "This guy's way of gaining power is just too easy. Damn, why hasn't he mentioned my name even once? I want to try the diary points too."

  ...

  Oak Town.

  "Indeed, it's Arton's power."

  "Great, ing here was defihe right choice."

  "Wait for me, I'm ing right over."

  Uta looked joyously at the diary replica, then quickly ran out of the bar, searg around the streets.

  Meanwhile, the diary replica tinued.

  ["The Beginner queror's Haki Awakening Potion" is indeed a nice reward, but it's not enough.]

  [To use it flexibly, it seems necessary to awaken a higher level of queror's Haki.]

  [If it's just beginner level, against enemies who won't be affected by queror's Haki, its usefulness might not even pare to Armament Haki.]

  [Indeed, I o tinue saving up points to draw higher-level queror's Haki reted rewards.]

  "Actually despising queror's Haki, and saying the current stage of queror's Haki is inferior to Armament Haki."

  "Really, he's a man that leaves o a loss for words."

  Gion shook her head, sighing as she spoke.

  She felt that if Arton's words were heard by those who desperately wao awaken queror's Haki but couldn't, they would probably want to give Arton a good beating.

  At least, she felt like giving Arton a good beating right now.

  [Apart from the "Beginner queror's Haki Awakening Potion," the other reward is this — Lancer Servant Elizabeth Bathory (Beginner level).]

  "Another character tempte, huh?"

  "Thankfully, it's just the beginner form."

  Gion noticed the words "Beginner Form" and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

  That being said, sidering that even a beginner form of a character tempte might bestow the user with great talents, Gion's expression immediately turned serious again.

  No wonder, if the user merely acquired the talents from the character tempte, it might not be a big deal.

  But the fact that users could potentially gain points through Arton, enabling them to rapidly grow stronger in jun with the talents from the character tempte, was a cause for .

  Gion just had to think about a possibly growing to the level demonstrated in the skills demonstration video of Yae Mikh the use of the tempte and a rge number of diary points, and she felt a headache ing on.

  "Hopefully, this Elizabeth Bathory won't be too troublesome a character."

  "Best if Arton ot utilize the power of this tempte."

  As Gion's spoke, the diary copy immediately dispyed a demonstration video of Elizabeth Bathory's partial skills.

  [Video: A demonstration of some of Elizabeth Bathory's skills.]
