thump!
A boar that was taller than normal and stronger than normal slumped onto the floor lifelessly. An arrow was sent piercing through the skull of the large boar.
The large boar was nearly 2 meters tall and 6 meters long, it's muscle bulged but they were all for naught as it hadn't even caught a glimpse of its killer before it died.
It was already the new year and more than 5 months had passed during Alexander's training. He was 17 this year and had matured a tiny bit more.
His hardships forced him to grow.
There were times he had almost died in these 5 months, one time, he had ventured out too far and faced a mutant four-eyed wolf.
The wolf was 4 meters tall and 10 meters long, it's four muscular limbs held explosive power that Alexander could not handle at that current stage.
He was forced to make a retreat but even escaping the wolf, he was put into a miserable state.
The battle was intense as the wolf bolted towards him the moment it saw him.
Alexander was not given a chance to react at all, a razor sharp claw was slashing towards him with unparalleled might.
whoosh!
Alexander tilted his head back, barely dodging the strike.
"What the-"
He was cut off as the wolf pounced into him again.
He took out his bow and nocked and arrow.
He put some force into his feet and stepped backwards in an awkward attempt to create some distance.
It worked as the wolf missed and Alexander took this chance to release the arrow from its bow string.
It flew in the air and pierced the wolf right in the eye.
awooo!
The wolf howled in pain and stared at Alexander with its remaining eye.
Alexander took no chances and nocked another arrow before immediately releasing it from the bow string.
The sheer speed of the arrow made it so that the wolf did not have a chance to dodge.
"futile effort."
Alexander smiled. The wolf had fallen onto the ground. It's heavy body making a loud thud.
Back to the present.
Alexander was currently lying on his make shift mattress. he had bulked up considerably and now was wielding five times more strength than he had five months ago.
The force of 500kg was hidden in his entire body.
A boar at this point was no longer a match for Alexander, it would drop dead before it even heard the whistling of the arrow.
A wolf posed more of a challenge. But zero multipled with ten was still a zero. Not challenging for Alexander at all.
The Alexander that almost died to a wolf was him 3 months ago. Not worth mentioning at all.
He was going to turn 17 tonight at 12 midnight. He had prepared a whole feast of wolf, boar and crocodile meat that he had hunted a while back.
The boar meat was juicy and tasty, basically an enhanced version of pork. The wolf meat tasted surprisingly like beef. And the crocodile meat tasted like your typical run of the mill chicken breast.
He was waiting until his watch showed him the 12 am midnight before celebrating his 17th birthday.

0000!
A pain so excruciating to Alexander emerged from the depths of his body!
"Arrrrghhhhhh!!!"
He screamed and writhed on the ground, the pain was too much for someone like him to bear.
'let me die…'
The pain was so excruciating that Alexander wanted to die.
After screaming for awhile, Alexander's voice started becoming hoarse.
[System booting…]
[Please be patient…]
[Booting complete!]
[Welcoming owner to the System!]
A row of messages appeared infront of Alexander as the pain receded.
"W-what?"
Alexander was still trying to cope with the pain but when he saw these messages infront of him, he was quite shocked to say the least.
The words appeared in a black text box and the messages were transmitted audibly by a mysterious feminine voice.
These texts looked awfully similar to the texts one would get when he or she was playing what was called an MMORPG.
[Host has been given the right to accept or reject the System!]
[
[ Please choose within 20 seconds!]
[19…]
[18…]
The voice started to count down.
Alexander thought for a moment before speaking
"I… Accept!"
The countdown stopped and a blinding light flashed from the text box.
Silence…
The text box was silent and went still before coming back with a cheerful tone.
[ Welcome Host! You will now be the permanent owner of this System! ]
"that's it? no explanation no nothing? What kind of system is this?"
Alexander said aloud.
[Ding!]
[The System is self-created and serves the Host with as much capability as possible!]
[The goal of the System is to make the Host the strongest person in the entire omniverse!]
[Please work hard Host!]
[You can check out more by saying these commands.
1. Status
2. Quests
3. Shop
4. Lottery
5. Locked ]
"woah…"
Alexander was in awe at the system. He wondered if anyone else had a system like this so he asked.
"Hey system? are there any other system holders?"
[ No! There is only one single system in the entire omniverse and you will be the first and last Host of the System!]
"hmmmmm? So i'm the one that's special huh?"
Alexander wanted to know more. A thirst for knowledge had never come about in Alexander before but now he wanted it.
He wanted to know how he was chosen to have the system or how the system can help him.
Annnddddd…
So he asked.
"System! How was I chosen? I mean a lot of other people more qualified than me could've been chosen. So why? Why me?"
[RNG]
"Excuse me what?"
[RNG]
"HUH!"
He contemplated the acronym RNG and he could only find one meaning.
"So… I was lucky?"
[Yep]
"So of the insane amount of people in this omniverse, i was chosen?"
[Yep]
Alexander pondered.
'WOW i'm lucky.'
He knew that with this system of sorts he would be able to become stronger.
A desire emerged in his heart.
A desire to become stronger.
In this omniverse, humans were slaughtered and killed. He wanted to change that fact.
In order to do that, he knew. Strength was essential.
He wanted to discover more about the system so he called out some system commands.
"Status!"
[ Alexander
Exp : 0(+)
Points : 0
Warrior stage 1
Strength : 503kg
Defense : 214kg
Remarks : Bottom of the food chain. Work harder Host! ]
Alexander immediately noticed the 'Exp' , 'Points' and 'Warrior stage 1' components in his status.
"System! Can you explain what 'Exp' , 'Points' and 'Warrior stage 1' mean?"
Ding!
(Lengthy Explanation coming, please read carefully)
[Your 'Exp' is the amount of Experience points that you have. You gain these by practicing your cultivation method. The better the cultivation method and the cultivation environment, the more Exp points you'll get! The intake of pills can also increase your Exp points, depending on the quality of the pill. You can use your Exp points in the status to increase your cultivation level! Work hard Host!]
[Your 'Points' is the indicator of the number of points you possess. You gain points from killing your enemies. The stronger the enemy, the more points you'll get per slain enemy! You can use your points to purchase items in the shop, lottery draws and more! Work hard to increase your points Host!]
[The 'Warrior stage 1' you see is just an indicator to your cultivation stage.]
After the shockingly long explanation on his question, Alex finally knew there was more to this world than before.
Firstly, cultivation is real.
Alex had read some cultivation novels before, some fan-fic but he was made fun off by others.
He knew about the term cultivation and pills.
He wanted to know more about the cultivation ranks but all he got from the system was a stingy
[Find out yourself!]
Reply from the system.
'Gosh! This system is more selfish than i thought!'
But he was baffled by a sudden statement from the system
[ Host! As a welcoming gift, you are awarded with a FREE Legendary rarity lottery draw! Please head over to the 'lottery' page to use it!]
'Maybe this system isn't that stingy after all?'
No need to think further he immediately shouted out
"Lottery!"
Ding!
[Lottery
1. common lottery (100)
2. uncommon lottery (1,500)
3. Locked
4. Locked
5. Locked
6. Locked
7. Legendary lottery (1 FREE draw) ]
Alex guessed that the number beside the type of lottery was the number of points needed to draw once for that lottery.
"System draw the Legendary lottery once!"
Ding!
[You have received…
