Chapter 3 - System's Gift

"HAHAHAHA! Good! Very Good! System, before you open the gifts, could you scan me and show me my stats right now?" The system's announcement made Aurum's mind hazy for a second but he still managed to keep his cool.

[DING! Scanning host body....

...End of scan.]

When Aurum saw his stats, he was so shocked that his eyes was about to pop off.

"System, are you kidding me? Why are my Intelligence and Wisdom so low, especially my Luck?! Did you, perhaps, made a mistake?" Aurum was in denial at the moment for he was so sure that he is smart.

[DING! Host, the system did not made a mistake. Based on your actions and your memory, everything that has been recorded and shown is accurate.]

"Then would you mind telling me why is it so low?" Aurum asked while being stupefied.

[DING! Host would always fight head on without thinking about the possible consequences. Everywhere the Host goes, you always bring misfortune with you. My conclusion is that the Host needs to study because you lack information and strategy.]

"System, can you simplify what you're saying?"

[DING! No offense to the Host, but I'm saying that the Host is stupid.]

The system's evaluation of him really struck his confidence. He thought that he was smart, wise, and lucky all the time. But he was still in denial; he doesn't want to accept the fact that he is stupid.

"System, I can't accept what you just said. I am smart, wise and, lucky because I always look for some people to beat up, get into fight that I know I can win and, I always end up having a good fight instead of a bad one. Isn't that pretty much lucky for me?" Aurum retorted.

[DING! System recommends the Host to get a medical check-up regarding your mental health, other than that the system has no suggestions.]

"Ah forget it. It seems kinda stupid to argue with a system inside my head... Anyways, system, I want you to open the gifts that I have." Aurum changed the topic right away to let him stay feel confident.

[DING! Host has acquired Mazda's blade x1, Azazel's Eyes, and Ultra instinct]

"HOLD UP! What's up with this Mazda's sword and Azazel's whatnot you're talking about system?" Aurum was full of curiosity right now.

[DING! Mazda's blade is a weapon created by the god of death from an ancient religion back when gods still roam around the world. A single hit from this blade will cause an instant death and the soul of the one inflicted will be subjected to eternal damnation.]

[Azazel's Eyes belong to an ancient demon that was sealed up a long time ago. User would be able to appraise everything and everyone equal or below your level and would allow user to stop time based on the Host's mana.]

Aurum was so excited that he felt like he would ascend into heaven and come back to Earth as a deity. He looked around his surroundings to see if he could use the appraisal. However, to his surprise, he can't use it.

"System why can't I use appraisal? Didn't you say that I can appraise almost anything as long as it is within my reach?"

[DING! Host needs to replace his eyes with Azazel's eyes to use its ability.]

[Would you like to replace your eyes? YES/NO]

"Just do it now, system!" Aurum was starting to get impatient.

[DING! Replacing eyes in 10 seconds... During this period of time host will feel a thousand fold of pain, just like being decapitated.]

"W-wait! System! Hold o-- AGHHHH!!!" He tried to cancel the replacement but the system didn't even hear what he has to say.

"F*ck this system! Why didn't it tell me about this earlier..." Aurum thought while he lost consciousness.
