[Welcome to the system, Erik.]
I stared at the screen for a few minutes.
"What are you?"
I said while frowning with suspicion.
[I am a system gifted to you by the God to help you in your new life.]
I was a bit surprised that the God sent me something like this.
I have a bit of a knowledge of what systems are as I have read a few novels. I started wondering if this system was like that too.
"So how are you going to help me?"
[I can help you by making you stronger. You can complete various missions to earn experience points and level up thus getting stronger. You can also earn system coins by doing missions and spend them to buy various items that may help you.]
"Is that so... You said that I can level up right."
[Yes.]
"Then can I like see in which level I am right now and what kind of strength I have? Like that status kind of thing."
[Yes you can see it. Here it is.]
[Name: Erik
Level: 1
Exp: 0/100
Strength:10
Agility: 13
Dexterity:9
Stat points: 0
System coins: 1000
Skills: Shooting(lv6), Knife technique(lv4), Hand to hand combat(lv8),Hacking(lv3), Cooking(lv5).
Items:None]
"What are these stat points? Are they like putting it into the stats and raising them like in those novels I read?"
[Yes. You can use this stat points to raise yours stats. You get 1 stat point for time you level up. You also get 5 bonus stat points at every ten levels.]
"What are these skills? And why do I already a number of skills?"
[Skills are what you are proficient at doing. You have these skills because you knew how to do these from your previous life. Although your body has become younger and weaker then before you still have experience doing what these skills specify.]
"Hmm.. I understand. I can use these system coins to item, right?"
[Yes you can. You can spend these coins in the shop interface of this system.]
After system said that the previous screen of status disappeared and a new screen appeared.
[Shop:
Weapons
Clothes
Food items
Special items
Vehicles
Skills]
"Oh~~ So I can buy whatever I want from these categories."
[Yes. If you have enough system coins.]
"What is this special items though?"
[In special items category you can buy things with various enchantments. Like you can buy a gun with infinite bullets or a bullet proof suit from here.]
"I see. Skills? I can also buy skills here."
[You can buy skills too with system coins. You can also upgrade the skills with the coins in this shop. I hope you like it.]
"I like ot very very much."
"Since I already have 1000 system coins. Why don't I buy something. How about weapons."
Then when I willed it to go to the weapon category the screen banished and a new screen appeared.
[Weapons:
Normal knife= 100 SC
Combat knife= 300 SC
Short sword= 450 SC
Long sword= 700 SC
Glock 19= 1000 SC ( 1 magazine of bullets free)
9mm ammo= 100 Sc
..
..
..]
There were a lot of other weapons in here. There some other big weapons too though they were quite expensive like a AK 47 costs 15000 SC and a rocket launcher costs 50000 SC.
"They look very expensive. With what I have I can only buy a Glock 19 at max. Thank god it gives a magazine of bullets free."
[They are not that expensive considering the prices of the special item.]
"Hmm? What?"
[The cheapest item in the special items category which is the Invisibility cloak costs 150000 SC.]
"Oh..Wow. How can I even earn that much."
[You can. With time you will get missions with high difficulty which will reward you with lots of SC. You can also earn special rewards by achieving various achievements, it will also give you SC along with other rewards.]
"That's great."
I released a sigh of relief at hearing that.
"So system do you have any name? Its kinda awkward calling you system over and over again."
[I don't have a name. But I will be very happy if you give me a name.]
"Then what about Elie. Do you like it."
[Yes. That's a wonderful name.]
"So your name will be Elie from now on then."
[Thank you. And you can also talk to me telepathically. It will seem very weird for others to see you talking yourself like that.]
"Yeah. Then nice to meet you Elie."
I said to Elie telepathically this time.
[Nice to meet you too, Erik.]
Elie said to me telepathically too this time.
After that I came out of the washroom after getting fresh and changing clothes.
I went out and saw Erika at the door with her clothes in hand.
"What took you so long brother?"
Erika said to me looking into my eyes.
"Aaa.. Nothing. You can go."
"Okay if you say so. Then see you."
"Hey don't say it like you are going out or something."
"Hehe~"
Chuckling a little she went inside the washroom.
'She looks as cute as ever doing that. I will protect you this time.'
----------
After half an hour we wear sitting at dinning table eating breakfast.
"Do you have school today?"
I asked Erika.
"No i don't. Did you forget today is the new year."
"Oh I forgot."
"Haah.. Brother, you have been working everyday that you keep forgetting about holidays."
"Well what can I do? I have to work everyday to earn money. I have morning shift today so I can spend the new years day with you from the evening maybe."
"That will be great!"
She exclaimed happily. She likes to spend time with me more than anything else. She has been like that since we little kids.
"Well its about time for me to go to work. Than see you later."
Saying that I went to her and gave her a kiss on her forehead and started going out.
"Bye brother."
"Yeah bye."
I then went out and started going to the store where I work part-time at.
'I don't think I will have to work part-time anymore. I can earn money doing other things. It is a advantage of living my again along with the memories of the future. Maybe I should buy some stocks of the companies that will become big in the coming years.
