Orien was immediately transported into a large room filled with other people. Everyone was sitting in chairs, waiting on the man on the podium to speak. The man was in his mid-forties with slick-back grey hair, tall, and in attire that looked similar to a military suit. The large room which housed over sixty people was full of chatter.
It wasn't until the aged man grabbed everyone's attention with a deafening yell.
"Attention! I'm sure all of you have an idea of why you're here. This can be considered a tutorial and an awakening ceremony. All of you should survive this if you work together. All of you here should have a system. If you don't know how to access yours, simply think or say system."
Immediately, Orien summoned his system.

"Let me explain this world's power system. Each of your basic abilities is shown with a rank and a number from 0-999. 0-99 is I, 100-199 is H, 200-299 is G, 300-399 is F, 400-499 is E, 500-599 is D, 600-699 is C, 700-799 is B, 800-899 is A, and 900-999 is S. The more your abilities go up, the harder it is to rank. When you level up, your previous bases stats, are considered your base states for the next level even though your stats reset back to ten with each level. Consider it an invisible base stat represented by the letter "i". The experience you gain through battle and training can be seen as a whitish gold mist. If you train, you'll see it surround you and go into your body. The person or monster you kill will also give you a visible experience. The amount varies on how strong your opponents are. As long as you have at least one D rank ability and fulfill your level's experience requirement, you can level up. The highest level we know of so far are level eights which can be counted on your hands. There's also legends of level tens. To speak in more mortal terms, anything pass three is considered good. Once the requirements are met, you have to go to the god that chose you and they have to manually level you up.They will only accept your request if you've accomplished a great feat.
You cannot trick them. There's low quality experience and high-quality experience. Low-quality experience is what you would get for fighting the weak or training before reaching enlightenment. High-quality experience comes from life or death fights versus strong enemies. Last but not least, the stats you earn, won't be used until your god updates them. Any questions?"
" None? Ok then let's proceed, you'll all come up here and touch the stone my apprentice is about to bring out. A Multitude of powers will pop up in your brain and you'll be able to choose one. You cannot control what abilities gravitate towards you. This is the only free one you'll receive. Let's start."
One by one, people went to the podium to touch the basketball-sized stone. With every touch, it glowed different colors. Eventually, it was Orien's turn. As he touched the stone, he could see game-like skills written in gold. His choices were two elemental abilities and a healing ability . The healing ability caught his eyes the most.
'Predatory healing'
The ability to heal all wounds, regenerate limbs, stimulate the body at his will, regenerate & heal using blood and copy the abilities of those he heals. The drawback is that he inherits their traumas, pain and his mental state will be at risk at all times. It was the riskiest of the current powers available, but he still chose it in the end.
