'An error? Is the system having a problem?' Aiden thought, unsure of what was happening right now.
The messages of an error continued appearing, and it kept going, telling him that he couldn't equip the item because he had no class. Shouldn't it just say to him that he couldn't put them on right away without making all this fuss?
He found it quite weird since it was the first time it happened to him since he had arrived.
But those error messages made Aiden realize that maybe he didn't know a lot about the world that he transmigrated him. Since he had arrived in this body, not much was normal, powers, the Awakened, it was a lot to take in. It seemed that absorbing all this information took some energy out of Aiden for him to keep up with everything that was happening.
While thinking about this, the system was still beeping over and over in his head, which started to annoy him a little bit, but he still wanted to know what was happening to the system. Would it remove its Awakened Powers, thinking he is an anomaly?
Nobody could find the answer to that question. Even people who had lived their entire lives in this world didn't know much about the powers they were given and where they had come from. It seemed that having powers for them was normal, and they didn't find it weird.
However, that wasn't the case for Aiden, who had just found out about everything that was surrounding him: the Status, the System, the Otherworld. It was a lot for him to take in a couple of hours. The fact he didn't come from this world caused him to think about questions that people who had lived their entire life here wouldn't think of.
Interrupting his thoughts, the system stopped beeping inside of his mind, and a new message appeared in front of Aiden. It seemed to have found a solution to the problem at hand.
[The restrictions on equipment are no longer being applied to you.]
This was huge news. It meant he could use whatever equipment he wanted and he could change weapons depending on the situation at hand, it was such a big advantage over others.
'Is this going to apply to the skills as well?' Aiden said to himself.
If it did work with the skills, Aiden could possibly become a master of all classes since he would be able to learn all the skills. Maybe he could use the techniques that were developed by some powerful families.
Realizing the importance of the message in front of him, he decided to test if it was true by equipping those boots.
He put on the boots that didn't have much detail. It seemed the person who had created them didn't put much thought into the design and only wanted it to be used for its skill and not its beauty.
The boots were grey, just like the box they had come out from, with small white lines adding some relief to the boots, which gave a little style to them. They were simple, but they fit into his feet perfectly, as if they were created for him. The fact that they were not beautiful didn't cause a problem for Aiden because as long as they would help him become stronger, he had no problem with how they looked.
As he put them on, he seemed to feel some type of energy entering his body, it was the same feeling he felt when upgrading his stats, it seemed that the effect from the boots was working.
They were perfect. Now, Aiden didn't need to worry about the equipment he would choose. Now, he would take the ones that would benefit him the most.
[Your speed has been increased by 5%.]
It was now official. Even the system was telling him that the effect had been activated.
It was now time for Aiden to look at his other reward, the green box, which contained a skill book, his most important reward.
Excited, he looked at the green box as if he would completely devour it, wanting to see what he would obtain because if he couldn't use it, he would probably have to sell it.
But Aiden had absolutely no idea where he could find a place to sell his rewards. The memories of the old Aiden didn't seem to appear in his mind anymore. It looked like he was alone now, trying to discover this world by himself.
However, one thing that he could still feel from his old body was the hatred he felt when he thought about the Nightshade family.
Just having those thoughts caused Aiden to feel rage from deep within him. Aiden couldn't see it, but if he looked in the mirror, he would've seen his fists clenched and his eyes filled with fury. He was starting to lose control of his body without even realizing it.
'What have they done to him for him to feel such rage by simply thinking about that family.'
He knew they had abandoned him, but he had no idea about what he had gone through.
Seeing his body reacting this way, he quickly thought about the green box he was going to open.
When he opened the green box in front of him, the heart of Aiden seemed to calm down instantly.
It really was a weird sensation, losing control of your own body.
Not wanting to have that feeling again anytime soon, he started opening the box.
[Green Skill Box]
[Description: Will obtain a Green Ranked Skill Book by opening it.]
The light coming out of it completely blinded Aiden for a moment, which caused him to not see what was inside the box, but as the light started to dismiss, a book could be seen inside of it.
The book was red and black with a title but Aiden was too far away to see what was written on it, he would probably have to take it out to see the title. The contrast between the red and black made the book stand out and captivating to the eye. An aura could also be seen to be coming out of the book, the aura wasn't that great but it probably represented the power contained inside the skill book.
'Is that what a skill book looks like?' He thought, observing the book and the power that seemed to come out of it.
