Draconic Pets Evolution System

'She really is short...'

The thought echoed in Ryuk's head as he looked down at the bunny girl, who was just around 1.2 meters tall, her fluffy pink hair barely at the line of his sight.

"It's fine. Now, can you free my waist?" he asked after feeling a bit uncomfortable. Patootie stepped back like a frightened rabbit before the biggest smile appeared on her face.

"Thank you! You won't be disappointed, I swear..." she said, disappearing into the bathroom.

Moments later, she returned with a mop, most likely to wipe away the pool of tears in the room.

Ryuk simply shrugged helplessly before moving to the living room.

While he would have loved to have his privacy—meaning not having a servant—and was used to living alone and doing his chores, he realized having a servant might not be entirely useless.

If she could handle his chores, it would give him more time to focus on other things.

Besides, he couldn't leave the cute bunny girl falling to the bottom of her ranking or turn her out after she had drowned in tears, so he could only reluctantly agree in the end.

"But still, I don't understand why she was turned down by so many geniuses..." he thought to himself, recalling her words about being rejected multiple times. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

She was a cute-looking and beautiful girl—the perfect housemaid. Then why had so many geniuses turned her down?

[The reason is simple,] the system panel suddenly appeared in front of his gaze.

[While the Lapinians are a cute-looking and beautiful race, they have a dark side...]

"A dark side?" Ryuk asked, frowning.

[Yes. A dark and well-known side.]

[Their very existence robs away the luck of other races around them.]

"Huh?"

[For instance, a person who wakes up early at 7:00 every day to go to school will suddenly start waking up at 10:00 and arriving late once they have a Lapinian around them.]

[A person who has never fallen from bed before can suddenly plummet down from the bed. Or a person who has never slipped on steps before will suddenly find themselves tumbling down every now and then.]

[This is what is noticed by those who allow a Lapinian close to them.]

[Suddenly, a series of bad luck starts assaulting them, and eventually, it is discovered that the one causing it is the Lapinian themselves.]

[Their existence robs away the luck in their surroundings.]

"Only a fool or someone strong enough to ignore their bad luck effect would allow a Lapinian close to them."

"So, of course, the geniuses are going to turn her down to avoid the bad luck her race brings with them," the system explained as Ryuk narrowed his eyes.

"That's truly bizarre..."

[Yes, it is. It's called a Racial Flaw, and each race has its own flaws, even the humans taht Host adores so much.]

[Except that the majority of them are very good at hiding theirs.]

[But Host has nothing to worry about.]

[The girl is not a Lapinian as everyone thinks. She only looks like one. Her true form is a mutated Lunar Rabbit,] the system replied.

Ryuk could only shrug.

"Even if she was a Lapinian, she wouldn't be getting any luck from me since my luck is null anyway," Ryuk thought.

[That is, in fact, true,] the system confirmed.

But then Ryuk's eyes furrowed, and he asked,

"Hey, system."

[Yes, Host?]

"Do I really have null Luck? Like, I know my luck stats say null, but I don't really think my luck is null. There have been a lot of good events in my life recently."

"Receiving the card from Old Jack was the biggest luck ever. And being helped by Duke Thalion was a blessing on its own. Without those strokes of luck, I'd never have reached here."

"But then you say my luck is null. It doesn't make sense, does it?" Ryuk reasoned.

And truly, it had been bothering him.

Ryuk wouldn't say he had the best luck, but he also wouldn't say he was unlucky either.

He had received an extremely important card from Old Jack, which was undoubtedly an act of luck, and he had even been helped by Duke Thalion, which was also good luck.

He had managed to gain a good audience with the Half-Fallen One herself, and not appear disgusting before her, unlike most would. And one could even say that was already some type of luck on its own.@@novelbin@@

So how could his luck be null? It didn't even make much sense to Ryuk at all.

[The system also has no idea. But if there's something the system could notice, it would be that Host's luck doesn't seem to come from Host's own hands. It seems to come from the hands of others.]

"What do you mean?"

[Like Host receiving the authority card from Old Jack. That wasn't Host's own luck. It was due to Old Jack's feeling of owing Host's uncle, Uncle Bob. It was a repayment.]

[Duke Thalin helped the Host to the front gate of the Eclipsed Citadel. That also wasn't Host's personal luck. It was because of the authority card, something that was still the handiwork of Host's uncle being good to Old Jack and thereby having a card in his grasp, commanding the good action from Duke Thalion.]

[If Host never possessed the card, he would never have been helped.]

[So, the system's hypothesis is that while Host has no luck of his own, but Host can gain from the good actions done by others to acquire luck for himself.]

[Also, Host's Knull Luck might not mean having zero luck, and therefore, with no luck, Host would have bad luck or always find himself in bad situations all the time.]

[The system thinks Host's case might be a bit special and complicated. But one day, Host will definitely receive his answers,] the system said.

Ryuk thought it over for a while before eventually dropping it.

"Knull Luck or not, I'm growing stronger every day, and my sights are on my goals. I'm fine for now, and that's all that matters."
