Seeing the system notification. Rian who still sitting under the tree where he found the Spiritual Fruit looked to a white panel to his right where a Roulette is spinning.
'Pleaase Godly, please Godly,..."
Rian's heartbeat at an insane rate while looking as the roulette slowed down.
Blue.
Purple.
Yellow.
Orange.
Flame. (Ultra)
Stars. (Supreme)
Holy Light. (Divine)
At an almost completed stop, a tiny fraction where the arrow pointing at was a dazzling Universe. Like teasing him the roulette's momentum seemed slow but it felt like it could move anytime.
At this moment, Rian is completely lost his cool, cold sweat pour down from his spine, his breath was uneven and chaostic. Right now, he had even more chance to die of a heart attack than he is just a moment before.
The forest was silent with occassion sound of leaves, bird chirping, the a sound broke that harmony atmosphere.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!"
The curse echo of the entire forest alert a lot of predators, but most of them back down when they saw a weird human who looked like he lost all hope in humanity and about to end his life.
Fuck, this shit is what Rian thought at the moment. Even though it is guaranteed to give Rare but goddamit why does it have to give two Rare Talents in a row, at this point Rian just want to drown himself in the ocean of sorrow.
"Agai- Wait Actually let stop gambling...", Rian now actually used his brain to stop what he was about to do, he know those gacha addict, if they don't stop only Rare await them.
Phew~
Rian let out a relive breath, "Right! I havent assign my SP yet, let do that before Gacha"
"Status"
===

Name: Rian Stale
Age: 18 (28)
Talent: Weapon Master (Not finalize)
Talent LV: 1/100 (Practitioner)
Body LV: 5
SP: 80
Stats:
STR: 15
END: 15
DEX: 15
WIS: 15
INT: 15
TAL: 5
===
Rian looked at his Stats and he realized he doesn't understand much about what those stats will increase except for STR and END.
"Hey system what do STR do?", even though he know what does it probably do but he had to ask just to be sure.
Huh, this is much more than I thought, I just thought that STR will give me physical strength, but goddamn it give me even more. With muscles density I will not look like some macho freak and still pack a punch, bone strengthening will protect my inner organs which increase survivability, definitely a bargain if you ask me.
"Then what about END"
The hell, this even more outrageous than STR, END is pretty much a cheat code for longevity and it also make your body durable and that also includes the bone and the muscles even the inner organs is also a part of the strengthening.
Brian is getting excited to know how much of a cheat all his stats represented. All of the despair he felt just a moment ago have completely gone, now fill with a new sense of delight, he asked the system
"Then what about DEX?"
...What? What does that even mean. Some of wise men once said that the more simple a concept the more versatile is it. But this is just confusing, if I gained better control of my existence do that mean I can control my body, soul, mind and talent? Isn't that too OP to be a stat.
After having a headache, Rian decided to asked the System for the last two stats.
"Then INT and WIS, show them at the same time"
"Wait, wait, wait! What do you mean Spiritual Energy, I know it is the foreign energy I just felt in my body a moment ago but what exactly does it do?"
<...Introduction to Spiritual Energy for dummies...>
...
'It's mocking me isn't it', Rian slightly annoyed by the system sarcastic remarks but it's giving him free information, he can't really complain.
<...Spiritual Energy is use for myriad of things, most people used it to cultivate their Talents and reach a new high. Some used it to cultivate their body to the peak of humanity and transcend it. And a small amount using it to do alchemy, smithing, calligraphy, drawing, taming, making talisman and formation and a lot more. And most importantly of all is it an essential part to activated your Talents.>
"Th-That was a lot of information..."
Rian face red with anger and said to the shitstem, "Fuck you!". I think I reused this phrase too much but this is the only word I can used to expressed all my frustration.
But seeing what this Spiritual Energy can do, he feel like he in some kind of wuxia or murin world, at this point he wouldn't be surprised if a Heavenly Inheritance is in this forest.
"What do you mean by Spiritual Energy is an essential part of activating my Talent?"
"Oh... So getting this INT stat is a must huh".Seeing how important every stats at of now is making Rian decision to focus on a single stat much more difficult.
"Then what about WIS"
"..."
Speechless, Rian have no idea how to react to this stat, WIS essentially an OP stats that must have. He doesn't know what benefits he going to get when he improved his Soul but just the fact WIS could potentially increased his Talent potential is just godly. And if he have some OP Talent he also have to put point in WIS to actually used that Talent to it full potential.
Now Rian is at a pinch, all stats is important, STR and END might not sound like much but his own [Weapon Master] Talent required a strong physique to used. So even though he said he going to put some SP in his Status, he no longer can be that decisive because this is a very important choice and every SP is precious.
"Fuck... there go my plan, well what is TAL even do and what does TAL mean?", Rian does played a lot of games in the past so he can understand STR, END, INT and WIS but TAL is a new stat he never seen before.
"Haiz...At this point I might at well go back doing gacha, at least it much better than having anxiety just because reading some stats."
Having being defeated by the absurdity of his Status, Rian once again going into the dark abyss of Gamb- I mean Gacha.
"Hey system can you improved my chance to at least getting a Mythical or above...", Rian dejectedly said expecting nothing.
"Are you trying to kill me?", Rian eyebrows twitch.
"What ever just spin that damn wheel". Rian give up on hope and said to the system.
Once again the roulette spin disregarding the human's sorrow.
Rian knew that he going to get another Rare unless he become some kind of Son of Heaven which is very unlikely.
"Please give me a Godly O'The Heaven Above. Please give this child a Godly O'Kind Father Jesus. Please give this poor soul a Godly O'The Benevolent Buddha. Please..."
Be it Buddhism or Christianity, or God. Rian beg all of them for chance of redeemption, redeemption of the Godly Talent.
Like hearing his prayer, the roulette slowed down at around the middle of the purple color and slowly making it way to the Universe fraction of the roulette.
Yellow.
Orange.
Flame!.
Stars!!.
Holy Light!!!.
UNIVERSE!!!!!.
'Yes, yes stay there don't you fucking dare move or I will fuck you in the ass... if I can'.
***
Inside the used to be silent forest another cry of a person can be heard.
A villager who always come to the forest to hunt now scared for life, while putting a bolt his crossbow. Last time he heard this cry he thought it was just a wind howling but now he think that maybe the cry of a ghost.
And from then on the hunter came back and spread the news throughout the village, making all villagers stay away from the inner zone, and only hunting in the outermost of the forest.
And the person who caused fear among many villagers, Rian still feeling like shit while complaining about his unfair life.
At the last moment when the roulette almost stop, the roulette is still slightly wavering like teasing him. And then just like his last girlfriend, the roulette dumped him by finally landed on the Rainbow- the color of the Unique Talents-.
But not all Unique Talents are bad, some are just as good as Mythical Talent but because most of them are unique with various kind of Talents like Prostitute, Dancing, Cleaning, Reading, Sex and so on... Unique Talents, are only good in their respective fields or have little to no use.
He would be fine if he got a good one like Explorer, which can increased his power whenever he discovered a new area. Or Animal Communication which help him talked to beasts and possibly making him a Beast Tamer. even an Uncommon Talent Adventurer is fine.
But no, out of at least 1000 different Talents he can get, he get the almost absolute worst one with no combat potential or even remotely convenience. It a mobility Talent but honestly Wind Control which is only a Uncommon Talent can be five times faster.
And Rian talent is... Teleportation.
