In a Daze Unis looked at the screen in front of him and was still somewhat unbelieving of the fact that what happening right now in front of him was reality.
"Am i in a dream?..
while looking at the screen he asked system if this was real or not.
[If host wants, system can lightly electrocute host to confirm his sanity.]
"please do i-"
Bzzzt
"Ahh! Shit!!!"
Before he could even end his sentence an electric current passed through his body as he screamed and again fell on floor where his leaking pee pants had made a puddle of pee already.
"system- please warn me before doing something like this next time..."
[Noted and Saved in Database.]
After recovering from the shock mentally And physically he first went to wash himself.
after confirming multiple times with system he had come to the conclusion that he couldn't do anything to the 'system' in his body so might as well see what it is.
Unis wasn't an overthinker and left the future problems to his future self and thought of what he would do now with this system, after washing himself he looked at the clock, it was still 5:12 am in the morning so he still had almost 2 hours left before going to work so he sat down on the couch nearby and asked system.
"System can you show me those options again and please explain each of the methods as well."
as soon as he said that a transparent screen popped up in front of his face again but this time along with the options it also had a description about the method below each option.
[1. Cultivation: To be able to absorb worldly energies and cultivate them in the hosts body in various forms, techniques, Cultivation methods, Body refining, spirit Cultivation etc. accumulating vast amount of such energies will result in body breaking through different planes of existence and ultimately reaching the perfect stage. This is the most technical and hard/tough root out of all options but its results are also the most stable, once reaching the perfection.
2. Leveling up: This root requires accumulation of experience points over time for leveling up, every level gives set amount of Stat points which can be used to upgrade your bodies Damage output, Defense, Magic points/Mana etc with your own choice. for this root it is necessary to focus on certain stats for the specific class you chose, the perks of choosing a specific class will result in getting more powerful skill of that specific class after reaching the threshold to unlock the special skill/ability of that class. This is the simplest method out of all options and once reaching the perfect state also has a chance of being more powerful than first method in terms of sheer power as it focuses on only certain statistic to raise to their perfection. (This method can be classified as king of one unlike jack of all trades in case of the first method.)
3. Devourer: For this method in order to gain strength host has to eat the flesh of any strong creature which can provide core energy which depending on the creatures power will give a certain amount of its power to The host. (consuming the whole body increases the chances of absorbing more of the creatures Powers/Stats, in rare cases host may also acquire the inherent skills and abilities of the creatures.)
this root lies in between both the first and second options as its capabilities depend on the limit of power creatures in a world can reach. if hosts world doesn't have any strong creatures it wont be possible for host to put this ability to use at late stages and ultimately wont be able to reach the goal.]
after reading through each and every one of them Unis asked system about what it thinks he should choose and he also remembered about the fourth option which description was not shown he was also going to ask about it when system replied.
[The system advices host to choose the fourth option once unlocked, The fourth option is locked because System recommended it to the Host and for it Host has to fulfil some requirements.]
Unis got a bit confused and excited when he thought about how formidable the fourth option could be for it to be better than all the other three options which seemed overpowered in their own perspective to which system replied.
[The fourth option isn't better that the other three options, according to systems data its not even comparable to the other three options in any way possible.]
"wha- then why recommend it to me?.."
Dumbfounded by systems words Unis asked why would system recommend such a thing to him if its so bad, to which system replied.
[System added and recommended the fourth option because system scanned the world which host exists in and discovered it cannot support the growth of any of the first three options as the world energies are very weak for cultivation and beasts are to weak to get any experience points from and creatures aren't strong enough to congeal their own cores to consume with devourer.]
"That makes a lot more sense, so what do i have to do to unlock this fourth option and how can it even help me become powerful if other three cant be used in this world?"
[To Unlock fourth option user has to travel from one end of the world to the other. and it does not have any ways to gain power unlike other options but only one ability which can be gained.]
Unis became Dumbstruck yet again hearing the requirement and the gains even when he unlocked it seemed worse than shit.
"ah, even after getting this 'system' thing i am still going to suffer with the hellhole of bad luck?"
Unis cursed his fate and said in his mind why this system even existed if it was so useless!
[System is not useless Host.]
surprised by the systems remark Unis asked it again.
"Then why is everything i can get so useless? and even to just get it i have to Travel around the world!?"
Unis was about to curse at system and spit fire out of his mouth with curses when system revealed the hidden ability to him which made Unis take back everything he was going to say.
[the special ability host will gain is 'World travel']
Unis was surprised by the Cool name of the ability he just heard from system, he started guessing the prowess of this ability just by how cool it sounded, and ofcourse systems explanation didn't disappoint his expectations.
[This ability will allow user to travel to worlds where he can make use of the other options.]
