Damien observed the boons with a smile. An extra 15% to the strength of all magical abilities and +50% to my learning speed and it seems to apply to learning anything.

"System can you explain why I have extra stat points and how am I already an Archmage?"

(Ting)

'All of these Boons were granted by the great God that had the Host transported to this Planet. The planets creation is based on a game Evertale but that is where the comparisons end. This is very much real and this planet inhabitants have their own way of doing things much like the Hosts home planet. Of course, this is far from a role playing game. Like Earth the host can indeed be killed by many of the great beasts and a many more of the powerful sentients that are in various regions on this planet.'

'Next the 'Touched by the Divine' and the 'Wondrous Elemental Archmage' boon. The 'Wondrous Elemental Archmage' boon was granted by the great God due to the Host being the most powerful mage in his previous RPG game EverTale.

The Archmage title is what is granted once the archmagi title is reached by anyone on the planet. Though, through training, experiences, and luck sentients can have similar abilities to that of the system, by becoming Sorcerers among other profound professions and classes.'

'Though they won't know it is actually the system at work itself at work. The other sentients on this planet do not have a system implant. Yet, depending on the skill a sentient can have information directly implanted into their minds due to the skill or spells in this world. '

'The sentients on this planet will view their abilities as acquired skills. So, for example, a sentient can identify items or a person and will have a mental assessment of them but, will not be as detailed as the system unless that sentient has the proper skill level.'

'All other people and sentients grades themselves loosely on tiers and ranks. Each tier has to go through 9 ranks before the tier can advance and sub tiers in between each of those. They have to use items to check on their ranks and titles. There are skills to detect the tier level and ranks of individuals.'

Damiens mind swirled at all of the information. Processing all these ranks and tiers. Damien knew he was strong because his game character was. This start was a great reward and he didn't have to begin weak. Or at least he hoped so.

"Well, at least I know how I almost cause a cat 6.0 earthquake, at such a low level. My power was essentially doubled at the start when using my elemental magic. Even though this is based on the game EverTale he need to treat this like his life on earth. No need to die trying to use his life as a video game. He must survive at all costs." Damien thought.

'The planet mimics this game in many ways. The boons is a gift from the great God to the Host, because of your late arrival to this planet. It seems this great God has taken pity on the Host. This planet has already had hundreds of millions, earth years of evolution and the dangers of this planet are too vast to have an average earthling survive even a minute without any assistance.'

'As the Harbinger of the great God, you are the first of your kind here and the great God wants you to survive so that you can complete you mission, most of all. The Divine system is here to assist with the building of Hosts' Kingdom by assisting with converting mana into physical matter and to help with casting spells until the hosts can figure out how to regulate mana on his own. Damien was also given 500 DP by the Creator for his....inconvenience. '

"What bullshit inconvenience, he kidnapped me!"

Even the System knows that this whole situation was down right wrong. Damien thought bitterly.

"Inconvenience, she says."

Damien was barely able to control his rage. The only reason he didn't lash out was that it would have been useless to do so. Calming himself, he got back on track.

"So, I need to be stronger first. I have to be able to protect myself and to build a kingdom. Yet, I have no idea where I am or how to do that. Let's start with location.

"Hey, System, is there a map?"

Damien jumped when a screen appeared.
Instantly, a GPS type of map appeared in his vision. The map showed Damien about 50 miles in every direction. Currently, anything outside of the 50 mile range was still grayed out.

"Seems like I have to travel to the location before it can be discovered."

He seemed to be Southeast of a mountain range. That would be perfect for mining and probably help with absorbing even more various types of metals and rare gems.

Damien didn't know what type of currency was in this new world, but gold and jewels are wanted everywhere...or so he hoped.

"System what is currently the main type of currency on this planet?" Damien thought.

'The host is right, copper, gold, platinum, and High gold coins are the main types of currency. 100 copper = 1 sliver / 100 silver = 1 gold / 100 gold =1 platinum / 100 platinum = 1 high gold. '

'Jewels are also viewed a precious because the more precious the jewel, the stronger enchantments it may hold, mana storage and various other uses. '

'Animal skins and furs are also tradeable items that can earn coins.'

"Well, that's good to know and will be very helpful in the future. Damien definitely needed currency but that was going into the forest with who knows what. Definitely going away from the mountains is best. Mountains usually have massive beasts or at least the game did so that's a no go for now." System what are Divine points used for?

'Divine points are used as a Blacksmithing tool for the Host, among other things. The Kingdom Tab is used to construct weapons, armor, and structures from different time periods in Earth's history because that is the Hosts' home planet, but can also create structures and items native to Damacus.'

'Yet, all materials that are created will be much stronger than what was created on earth due to the great amount of concentrated mana and the divine energy from the system assisting with construction.'

'For example, Wood structures and weapons would be 3 times as strong as all wooden structures on the planet Damascus when created by the Host or the Divine System.'

'The Divine points can also create life, but it is very limited on the amount. You will see more when you access the tab in your system. The host can recreate a structure it with the system's assistance by physically touching the structure. It's is like creating blueprints with the system. The hosts' Hero level must also be high enough.'

'The host also has an Inventory that has its own pocket dimension to story any non-living items or materials provided by the system. The dimension is the size of the distance traveled from hosts' home planet to the current planet. Needless to say, it is unlimited space.'

Damien thought about what the system had revealed to him and was stunned at the inventory information alone.

"So essentially, in the future I can put a whole castle inside of my inventory space so long as I'm in physical contact with it and it doesn't have a living being inside. That's a humbling thought as to the kinds of powers that were in control of his life now." Damien smiled at the thought.

"I need to find a different civilization to absorb their technology and structures to add to my kingdom to make it more powerful. Creating an A1 Abrams tank on a medieval type of planet would be a complete game changer and probably making my empire unstoppable. That would require gun powder and the appropriate Hero level though."

'The Host can find any material that was on earth also on this planet, as well as, new material native to planet Damascus.'

Thinking on everything he was hearing Damien was lost in his thought until Damien felt a presence before hearing it. It was a natural shiver in his spine that an immediate danger is nearby. He was alone, kidnapped and shipped off world, in the middle of an alien forest...what can go wrong?

Damien heard a branch snap behind him a low rumbling growl that reverberated through his entire body. Then a loud oppressive roar like that only a great beast could give came after.

"Ggggrrroooor!!"

"Nothing but death could follow a sound llke that." Damien thought.

"My death."
