'Oh god, this is as painful as the day I woke up from the operation'
*Argh, if you just want to wallow in pain on the floor there be my guest, but I can't really be bothered to find me a new host. Would you like an out?*
'Would I like an out? What kind of question is that, you think I'm enjoying writhing in pain here bud? I am surprised I'm still able to think'
*Okie dokie then. Well there are two ways ya' can get out of this situation. One, you add your stat points to constitution. Easily done, say it in your mind and I'll do the rest. Two, you can buy the [Lesser Heal] spell, and that'll get ya' fixed up. Keep in mind that you won't have any more store points to spend until you finish more missions.*
'[Lesser Heal] sounds good, get that for me and I'll use it then'
-Spell [Lesser Heal] has been bought. To use spell please recite spell name in your mind. Thank you for doing business with the Journey System-
'[Lesser Heal]!'
A blinding white light shone over Leon's body, the broken bones that were bent every which way started to move back into place and the cuts and wounds on his new body started to disappear. A few minutes later, the light started to dim until it was no longer visible and the mangled body returned back to it's normal state.
'Ahh, that's so nice, it's like I'm on anesthesia but without the delirium. That's quite enjoyable. I wonder what the [Greater Heal] feels like'
*Well now that we've got ya' fixed up, how 'bout I introduce you to the system, eh?*
*Well without further ado, The -Journey System- is a system, that like the name says, will take you on a journey. You Humans from Earth thought that you were the only beings in the Universe but that is infinitely far from the truth, you're not even the only Humans in the Universe, there are billions. Anyway, the -Journey System- is like a sailor's boat, a pilot's plane. It will allow you to traverse the Universe freely, allowing you to make acquaintances, and grow more powerful, which I'm sure is better than being cooped up in a hospital, eh? Unfortunately for each World you enter, there will be certain conditions you got to fulfill. They vary in difficulty but the difficulty at the start will always be mentioned. It's also tailored to your current level. They're denoted in the form of letters, from -F to SSS-, so F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, respectively. Cool right? Now I'll let you have a look at the system interface, it's better you figure it out yourself*
'Now this is pretty cool, I did say that I always wanted to travel. Well let's have a look then'

'Whoa, I mean you have got to be kidding right? An S-Level mission off the bat? Why do you have to do me like this.'
*You're just unlucky Kid, there's nothing more to it. Oh and I forgot to mention, but there's a time limit.*
'What? You have got to be kidding, that's a bit too much isn't it? I'm barely going to be able to do this, let alone in a given time'
*I don't make the rules Kid, sorry. Anyway if there weren't a Time Limit, how could it be considered an S-Level Mission. But we're not Scrooges here, so we'll give you a little gift, so that we can continue our partnership with one another*
-Basic Gift Bag has been rewarded to the User-
'Open it for me'
-User has received [Basic Archery], [Common Longbow], [Stealth], [Common Arrows x20]-
'Quite generous'
*I look forward to our long-standing collaboration*
Leon then took the [Basic Archery] and [Stealth] Book out of his inventory, and then place them on his his chest as he was told by Hermes. Archery knowledge started to rush into his mind. Unlike the [Lesser Heal] and [Stealth], which he seemed to be able to grasp instinctually, everything that he learnt from [Basic Archery] was ingrained in his mind. It took him a few minutes to digest the information.
'That was pretty nice, it feels like I'm an accomplished Archer now'
Suddenly a piercing screech was heard and it broke Leon's train of thought.
A green child-like beast was a few meters away from him, staring at him with drool flowing from it's mouth.
*Haha! What a better way to introduce you to the World than with a fight.*
