Elijah received the manual and was shocked to find that it was written in a language he couldn't understand. "What do I do now?" he asked the system.
"Don't worry," the system replied. "You can tell me to absorb the knowledge, and it will be imprinted in your mind so you can understand it. However, it will depend on your intelligence, wisdom, and willpower on how much you can understand."
Elijah was curious about how the system worked, so he asked, "Can you tell me more about yourself?"
"I'm just a basic system right now," the system replied. "I can only explain things that are for beginners and identify things for you. If you want a more advanced version of myself, you need to become stronger much faster because the current system is tied to your soul. As long as you get stronger, the system grows stronger with you and unlocks more features, becoming more attuned to the host."
"Okay, I understand," said Elijah. "Where can I train more efficiently?"
The fairy pointed at Elijah and said, "You will be teleported to the real tutorial ground." Suddenly, there was a flash of light, and when Elijah opened his eyes, he was surrounded by 10 creatures with green skin and pointy ears, dressed in rags and holding rusted farm tools. "Welcome Lord to the tutorial ground," they greeted him.
Elijah was confused and turned to the system for an explanation. "Since there are countless races in the universe, you can't expect that only humans will be on the tutorial ground," the system explained. "This is real, and what you gain here can help your planet in the future."
Elijah was scared and asked if he could go back to his family, and the system reassured him that he could return anytime. "Think of this as a virtual reality game where if you die, you die, just like SAO," the system said.
Elijah was surprised that the system was able to reference something from Earth, and the system explained that they were connected and could share the host's memories. "What are these creatures?" Elijah asked, assuming they were goblins, and why are they calling him lord?
"These creatures are randomly assigned to people as their main driving force in this tutorial world," the system replied. "Since this is a war, you will need an army, and people are assigned creatures to train. The goblins have low stats, and they need to undergo evolution to break through their racial limitations."
"Why did I get goblins?" Elijah asked, confused.
"Unfortunately, I have no control over what was assigned to you," the system replied. "But even though goblins are the lowest rank, they actually have the biggest evolutionary tree available. According to records, there is a goblin god, a goblin dragon, and even a goblin saint. They have a genetic makeup that comprises of so many monster lines that they can focus on one line and achieve what other species can't. Besides, they are just your starting race, and you will be able to subdue or even create your race once your power increases."
As for Elijah's high luck, it means that he has a higher chance of getting good things or events to happen to him, such as finding valuable items or encountering rare creatures. It also means that he's more likely to succeed in tasks that require luck, like gambling or guessing games.
However, as the system explained, luck was not a factor in determining which race Elijah would start with in the tutorial world. Instead, it was already assigned to him through compatibility, and he happened to be compatible with goblins.
Here are the goblin's stats that the system displayed to Elijah:
Species: Goblin
Life Rating: Tier 0
Strength: 10
Agility: 10
Intelligence: 5
Wisdom: 5
Vitality: 10
Despite their seemingly low intelligence and wisdom stats, the goblins are a formidable race due to their exceptional evolutionary abilities. As the system mentioned, they also have a diverse genetic makeup that allows them to evolve and specialize in different areas.
Elijah was initially disappointed with his assigned race but was quickly reassured by the system that the goblins have great potential for growth and evolution. The system even revealed that there are legendary goblin creatures like a goblin god, goblin dragon, and goblin saint.
Elijah was eager to learn more about the tutorial world and improve his strength so that he could eventually create his own race and possibly even subdue the creatures in the world.
