Chereads / The Jackpot System / Chapter 6 - Extra + Ordinary

Chapter 6 - Extra + Ordinary

Unfortunately, there wasn't any description provided under his trait. But if he looked into the description of his Skills, he could have some clue on what it is all about.

However, he didn't dwell much on it and looked down to his Status Window. 

"Slightly better than ordinary.... Richer than ordinary... The power of the Extra + Ordinary.... Equipment better than ordinary... Summon better than ordinary spirits...????... What the heck are these skills? It just lets me be just a level above ordinary people?"

Eirik was quite disappointed with the skills he received. After going through a life and death situation, he couldn't fully understand why he didn't receive a much better trait befitting of the System Class (S-Class).

System Class (S-Class) is the best class among all for Eirik. Others may prefer any Top Class because they are cooler and it can be used to gain fame, for Eirik it was too dangerous and had many risks in it.

Meanwhile, System Class (S- Class) lets the Awakened one be rich and stronger without facing a much greater risk than those in Top Class. The only downside is their unpopularity in front of the public. 

System Class is often nicknamed as the Procrastinator Class. A Class that makes people lazy but still receive great benefits for it. 

But for Eirik it is not due to the nature of the Class that they don't like, it is because they couldn't possess such Class even if they reawakened coming from a Useless Class. They envy those people that got it easy because of their Class.

"Sigh, even if I had the Class that many people are envious of, it just let me be slightly better than ordinary. What's the difference between my trait and those from the Useless Class?"

Without reading the description of the skills, Eirik continued reading his Status Window. The next section was for the Equipment.

Equipment: ->

Simple t-shirt: An ordinary t-shirt with an ordinary design

Defense: 1 + 5

Simple Jeans: An ordinary pants made out of jeans

Defense: 1 + 5

Simple work Apron: A simple apron for work

Defense: 1 + 5

Boots for work: A leather boots made durable for work

Defense: 1 + 5

Speed: 1 + 5

Leather belt: A simple back leather belt

Defense: 1 + 5

Attack: 1 + 5

"Whoa! What's up with my equipment? I am not wearing any of those... perhaps it is because they are my daily wear before going to prison that's why they got it registered... But the system shouldn't know that I wore those..."

This was something that really baffled Eirik. Currently he was wearing the bright orange overall attire of prisoners, but the equipment written on his status window was different.

"Hmm... there's a small arrow beside Equipment, I should read the description."

As soon as Eirik clicked the arrow beside Equipment, the window changed.

[The Equipment of the Extra Ordinary is not what villains should wear. Please change your attire to fit your role within a week, otherwise the buff up of your future equipment will not be read until you are Level 5.]

"What the heck is this? Why is there a sudden quest inside the description of the Equipment?! There weren't even any rewards present on it."

But even though this was a sudden quest, Eirik really hoped that he could get out of here within a week's time.

"Next week, I will need to attend the trial..."

Right after Eirik finished scrolling through his Status Window, the warden came in and informed all the inmates of the weekly Sports Event. All the inmates are required to participate in the event, otherwise their meals will be compromised.

For inmates with great physical physique, this was something they looked forward to. However, for someone like Eirik that rarely exercises, this was a nightmare.

"C-Can I just cheer?"

Eirik reached up to one of the wardens guiding him to the gymnasium.

"No." The warden's reply was short but it gave a great pain to Eirk.

When they reached the Gymnasium, it was like an empty warehouse. The only difference was that rather than goods being stocked inside, there were only people dressed in orange overalls around.

As soon as the last batch of inmates arrived, the door where they came from was tightly locked. There were no wardens present inside to oversee the inmates, they must have found it troublesome dealing with prisoners.

Looking around the Gymnasium, he found a lot of equipment in the center of the wide race track. As Eirik wanted to look closely at them, the speaker suddenly rang.

"Hello, mic test 1,2,3,4,5. Ehem. You are now gathered here today for our weekly Sport Event. The first event will be a race, the champion for the race will get custom at every meal for the next week. While the rest... well good luck!"

A custom meal. Eirik definitely wanted to get it. He was tired of eating the same food every time. From breakfast to dinner, the meal was the same.

But recalling that only the champion will receive the reward, Eirik immediately passes on participating in the game. He wasn't sporty and his stamina wasn't good either. He just lets those who really want a custom meal to fight for the title of the Champion.

"Sigh, custom meal..."

Having decided to not participate, Eirik went to the center of the race track and decided to sit down while watching. Soon, the center of the race track got more people than those participating for the real event.

When Eirik sat down, he immediately started cheering for the prisoners who participated in the race.

"Go everyone!" Looking at their position, suddenly, Eirik didn't feel any regrets about not participating in the Race.

"Sigh, they are really determined."

Even though he was quite away from them, Eirik could still feel the pressure coming from the race. There must be an Awakened using their skill.

"Right, there were no rules about using skills here. Well, even if I participated, what will the Extra + Ordinary trait even do to me? It just lets me be slightly better than the ordinary."
