Chapter 4 - First Character

[ Yes host, you can spin for a character right now. However, please keep in mind that you can only do this once every three months. ]

[Do you wish to spin a character now?]

'Yes, yes system, I will keep that in mind. Thank you for the reminder.'

Ray couldn't contain his excitement and exclaimed in his thoughts, 'Let's spin for a character now system!'

[Understood, host], the system replied.

The system acknowledged Ray's request and began the spinning process.

The screen in front of Ray flickered as the system scanned through the available characters he could get.

Ray could only see the silhouettes of the characters as they spun on the screen.

As the spinning slowed down, his heart raced with anticipation.

Finally, the spinning came to a halt, and the system displayed the character's image and information on the screen for Ray to see.

Ray studied the character's features closely. The character was tall and lean, with a regal posture and piercing eyes that seemed to look right through him. His chiseled jawline and sharp cheekbones gave him a distinguished and sophisticated appearance.

┌─── Character ───┐

Name: Leonardo da Vinci

: Leonardo da Vinci, born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, was one of the most influential figures of the Renaissance period. He was not only an accomplished artist but also a prolific inventor, polymath, and scientist who contributed significantly to several fields of study.

In the field of art, Leonardo is best known for his masterful paintings, including the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, and The Vitruvian Man, which are still regarded as some of the most iconic works of art in history. His unique style, use of light and shadow, and the application of sfumato (blurring of outlines) in his paintings made him a pioneer of the Renaissance art movement.

Apart from art, Leonardo was also a skilled engineer and inventor. He designed several flying machines, including the ornithopter, which was a forerunner of the modern-day helicopter, and also conceptualized tanks, armored cars, and other war machines.

In mathematics, Leonardo made significant contributions to geometry and proportion, which he applied in his art, architecture, and engineering designs. He also conducted extensive studies on human anatomy and made detailed drawings of the human body, including the famous Vitruvian Man.

Leonardo's artistic and scientific curiosity was fueled by his passion for observation, experimentation, and understanding the natural world around him. His remarkable accomplishments across multiple fields have earned him a place as one of the greatest minds in history.

He is also widely considered as one of the most diversely talented individuals in history and is often described as the archetype of the Renaissance Man.

'L-Leonardo da Vinci?! The one who created the iconic Mona Lisa and The Last Supper?' Ray shouted in excitement in his head.

'Although I was hoping for a character with combat skills, having Leonardo da Vinci is still great since he excelled in many fields'

Curious about what benefits he could gain from having Leonardo da Vinci as his character, Ray asked the system, "System, what can I get from Leonardo da Vinci?'

[ Please select the field of expertise that you are interested in, host. Please note that you can only choose one field per character every year. ]

┌─── Fields ───┐

- Art

- Science

- Engineering

- Mathematics

- Architecture

- Music

- Literature

'D*mn, all of the fields could be useful as long as I could utilize them properly'

'If I could just master one of them, it could make a huge difference in my life'

'Maybe I should start by assessing my own skills and interests,' he thought.

'I need to choose a field that aligns with my strengths and passion, and at the same time, provides me with skills and knowledge that I need to succeed in life.'

'I think it would be wise to hold off on picking a field for now,' Ray thought to himself.

'I need to get my own Majika first, so I can pick a field that will benefit me greatly.'

Ray realized that picking the right field of expertise could make all the difference in his journey.

He didn't want to make a hasty decision and ended up with a field that didn't complement his Majika.

'I need to consider my options carefully' Ray mused.

'Each field has its own unique advantages and applications. I want to choose a field that will not only help me in the short term but also in the long term.'

He knew that by selecting the right field, he could receive skills, guides, and experience that would allow him to become a more powerful and effective Majika user.

'So, I'll wait until I have my own Majika,' Ray concluded.

'But the main question is, can I postpone choosing a field?'

[Yes, host. You are free to choose a field of expertise anytime and anywhere.]

[ It is recommended to take your time and choose wisely, as selecting a field can greatly affect you. Consider your goals and the areas where you want to improve, as well as how the chosen field can complement your existing strengths. ]

[ Remember that you can only choose a field once a year, so it's essential to make the most out of your decision. ]

'Yes, system. I know, thank you.'

'Please delay the field selection process for now,' Ray said.

[ Understood, host. Your decision to postpone the selection of a field has been acknowledged. ]

Ray nodded to himself, fully aware of the importance of choosing the right field.

He knew that his decision would affect his growth as a Majika user, and he didn't want to rush into anything without careful consideration.

He took a deep breath and looked back at the screen displaying the information and image of his newly acquired character, Leonardo da Vinci.

Despite not choosing a field yet, Ray was excited to see what Leonardo da Vinci could bring to his journey as a Majika user.

'I wonder when I will turn into an 18-year-old' Ray thought to himself while he was filled with anticipation while wondering what changes and possibilities will be unlocked within him.

'Should I ask the grandpa of this body when is my birthday? or no? Sh*t it feels weird if I suddenly ask what's my birthday to my own grandpa'

'Although the grandpa of this body is kind, I must stay cautious because I don't know what will happen if he suddenly knows that I'm not his real grandson, I'm just using the body of his grandson'

'Just to be safe, I'll just find some identification card or something if I get home'

Ray was aware that revealing the truth that he is not the real Ray of this world could have unintended consequences.

So instead of asking he decided to look for some form of identification card or document once he returned home.

He wanted to confirm his birth date without arousing any suspicion and jeopardizing his current situation.

'Finally, I'm done testing out the two functions. The last one is 'inspect', and it appears to be quite useful if I use it wisely,' Ray said to himself.

He made a mental note that he could only use it twice a day, so he needed to be strategic and only use it when necessary.

After organizing the clothes he was wearing, Ray reached out for the door handle and opened it.

As he stepped into the hallway, he caught sight of his grandfather sitting by the side.

It took him a few seconds to realize that his grandpa was there, but when he did, he noticed George signal for him to come over.

Walking over to his grandpa, Ray said, "Grandpa, I'm ready to be examined."

George smiled warmly at Ray and replied, "Okay, Ray. Just head back to your room and wait for me to call the doctor. I've already spoken to him and he's eager to examine you, especially after hearing that you've woken up. He's quite surprised, you know."

With that, George led Ray back to his room and left to make the necessary arrangements.

Ray sat down on his bed, feeling a mix of emotions.

He was nervous about the upcoming examination but also relieved that he had someone like his grandfather to support him.

After a few minutes, George returned with the doctor.

Ray notices a middle-aged, handsome man wearing a long white coat standing beside his grandfather, who appears to be the doctor.

However, this doctor seems different from other doctors he had seen before.

Instead of holding a medical tool, the doctor is holding a glowing blue thick book.

The book seems to emit a faint, pulsing light that catches Ray's attention.

He wonders what kind of book it could be and what purpose it serves.
