Kumi stared at the bubble-like screen in front of her.
'What does this even mean?'
[Universal Cultivation System]

[Locked Until User Reaches
[Locked Until User Reaches
[Locked Until User Reaches
'Almost everything is 'Locked' for some reason. Well, except for Attributes.'
And as she thought so, the bubble-like screen had a secondary bubble-like show up inside of the first bubble.
The second bubble had more information than the first. A lot more.

'That is quite a bit... of stuff.'
Kumi started to carefully inspect the bubble.
'My name is Kumi. Alright. At least it won't be possible to forget my name anymore. Probably.'
She went on to the next line of information.
'Gender. Female. Thank goodness. No gender bender for me, thanks.'
Kumi wiped her forehead of sweat (in her head).
Kumi went on to the line of information below Gender.
'Race. Angelic Devil... huh?'
She looked again.
'Race. R.A.C.E. Race. Nascar? No. Aren't I human? Wasn't I human? Eh? Don't tell me I'll come out with red skin, facial hair and a tail and all that! And what's with the Angelic part of it? Can I sing? Is there a Devil out there that can sing good? Is that gonna be me?'
Kumi read it again.
'It still hasn't changed. Do I need to spit some more insults at it? Devil? What am I? Satan? Satan isn't a girl. In most media.
And again, what's with the Angelic part? Angels and Devils or Demons or whatever are supposed to kill each other. Right?'
The information stayed the same.
'Haiiiiiaaaaaa.'
Kumi let out a long sigh (in her head).
'Whatever. Let's try to take our mind off of things, Kumi.'
She went on to the next line of information.
'Rank. So the thing that is needed to unlock the other options in this System? It says I'm a Mortal right now. Not surprising. Isn't basically everyone a 'Mortal' since everyone could die?
Well, I say that but there is a Rank called Immortal...'
Letting out a light breath, she went on to the next line.
'Level 1. Since when does Cultivation have Levels? Another question...
What is Cultivation?'
Throwing the question away, Kumi thought about figuring that out at some other time.
'Let's just go by Game rules and say that Levels make people stronger.'
And so she went on to the next line yet again.
'Titles. Oohhhh. Fancy. Let's see... Dragon Slayer. Cool. I did that. Demon Slayer. Cool. I think I did that too. Hero Slayer. Cool? Don't remember killing any handsome dudes. Empress's Heir. Cool?? Since when? Calamity Killer. Okay. Cool. Probably the huge animals I sliced up back in the flower, and lastly, Celestial Lotus Host... cool? Since when am I the Host of that Hell Flower though? Is it because I was the last survivor in that void or because my body is filled with the Lotus juices?'
At the end of reading out all her Titles in her head and reacting to each one, she just ended up with more questions.
'Let's do the same thing I did with my 'Race' and completely ignore it. I don't see Race. Don't see people's Titles either since I'm such a good person.'
So, she moved on. Again. To the next line.
'Potential. Well, it says it's still Calculating it so I'll come back to that.'
And the next line.
'Properties. Sooo. Stats? Let's take a look...
Vigour, F. Mana, F. Strength, F... Agility, F. Mind, F. Endurance, F. Arcane... F...'
Kumi was a bit sad, to say the least.
'For fuck's sake. The Plus at the end just adds insult to injury!!!'
'F? F! In everything? A Dragon Slayer who gets an F in everything? Is this a joke?!'
After a while of swearing, Kumi calmed down.
Letting out a disappointed breath, she looked to the bright side.
'Hey. At least I have a Plus. haha... Well, I am still less than 0 years old. I bet the small kids around my age have like a P- or something... Probably.'
The next line.
'Elements... So what type of magic I can use? Lightning. That's pretty cool. Curse... uhhhh. rot.....
This is fucking depressing.
Curse? Really? Not even mentioning Rot! Am I even going to survive being born with all of this unlucky crap happening before even reaching 0 damn years of age?'
'Ughhhhh!'
The next line.
'Passive Skills. They... They're all maxed out. That's good. Let's see now. Maybe my mood will be lifted...
High Regeneration, for some reason I doubt that, I'd say Low or Weak at most. My soul took a damn long while to heal back in the void, unless it only works on the body, nevertheless a cool thing to have.
Free Footwork, no clue what that means but it doesn't sound particularly bad.
Brutal Strength, both cool and also a bit insulting considering I'm a girl with an F in Strength.
Dragon Heart, so... I'm brave? Whatever, saying that I have a Dragon's Heart is pretty cool.
Growth Acceleration, though I don't know the specifics, this might be a pretty good thing to have.
Highest Holy Blessing, so the Gods love me ay? That's nice, makes me a bit happier than I was a moment back.
Highest Demonic Blessing... So. Demons love me... ay? I take back what I said previously. I am not happy.
Heavenly Demonic Pressure, sounds a bit cool. Still doesn't lift my mood that much.'
Kumi let out a short breath.
'And I was almost happy. This System is so cursed.'
Next line...
'Active Skills. All at Level 1. Let's just get this over with.
Empress's Soul Sword, does it mean the sci-fi sabre I could use in the void? I can still use that? Cool... I hope this temporary feeling of fulfilment won't be stolen from me by the next few Skills.
Slash, simple. Nothing special about it I guess?
Elemental Power Increase. Hey. That's good. Though it is an Active Skill which means I have to activate it.'
'Huh. I guess the System isn't that bad.'
And so, Kumi went on to the last line of information.
'Personality. I have a bad feeling about this...
Implausibly Inscrutable.
Is that an insult? From the System that is supposed to make people stronger? I am not that difficult to read!'
Kumi thought about it.
'I am actually rather easy to read!'
She went on to the next word.
'Bah whatever... Choice... What's that supposed to mean?'
As she was about to touch the bubble that had all the information in it, her finger instead touched the glass wall of her flask instead of the bubble screen with the information.
'Ah. This System really is cursed. Or is that just me?'
Kumi thought as the wall of glass in front of her shattered and she fell forward.
As she left the flask and her skin enjoyed the burning sensation of air, her body slightly changed.
Finally, she was born.
...
"Get the Boss! Get The Locks! They have been born faster than anticipated! Get the higher-ups here fast!"
The guards started panicking as the flask shattered to pieces.
The Defence spells around the room activated, shrouding Kumi in a protective layer of magic so that the shattered glass did no damage to her.
Kumi fell from the tall metal podium she was on for a few seconds since the podium was a good 7-10 metres tall.
Thankfully, Kumi landed on the padding that cushioned her fall and with the help of the Defensive spells, she again took no damage.
Falling on the soft padding, Kumi fell unconscious as she took her first breath of air.
