Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Some pain and the first quest

(Time skip Three days)

[Ace it is time for you to awaken], five more minutes Nova let me sleep in. [I'm afraid I can't do that. Your system has now been fully integrated, it is highly suggested that you activate it and begin training]. You're just going to keep nagging me about this aren't you Nova? [If I must, remember Ace that this was your choice].

Fine, I'll get up, [very good to access your system menu please say "System"]. Alright then Nova pull up my SYSTEM. [SYSTEM REQUEST ACCEPTED, INITIATION BOOT UP PROCESS...BOOT-UP PROCESSES SUCCESSFUL THE INDIVIDUAL NAMED "ACE" SHALL UNDERGO TEMPORARY PAIN, PLEASE BRACE YOURSELF]. Wait what do you mean AGHHHH!!!

[THE PROCESS SHALL BE COMPLETED SHORTLY PLEASE TRY TO RELAX]. RELAX, ARE YOU INSANE!? THIS FEELS LIKE ALL OF MY BONES ARE BEING REPEATEDLY BROKEN!!! HOW AM I STILL CONSCIOUS, WHY HAVE I NOT BLACKED OUT?! [THE USER MUST REMAIN CONSCIOUS, HOWEVER, THE PROCESS IS ALMOST COMPLETE].

HURRY IT UP THEN!!! [THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE, PLEASE BRACE FOR UNCONSCIOUS].

Wha...[Ace it is once again time for you to awaken, several tasks require your attention]. Owwww, my head what happened? [I apologize Ace I should have given you more of a warning. As to what happened, the mental pain that was caused by the system fully integrating with you caused severe phantom pains. This excruciating pain would normally be enough to render someone unconscious however you needed to be fully conscious for the bonding to work properly].

So let me get this straight, the only way for me to acquire my system was to, One wait for three days completely unaware of what was about to happen. Two, go through tortuous pains for God knows how long. And Three wake up with a skull-spitting headache with a very brief case of Amnesia due to my mind trying to repress what I felt. Is this all correct?

[You are indeed correct and might I praise you for your composure]. Composure, yeah right. I'm too tired to even try to say half the things on my mind. So Nova can you just pull up my systems menu, please? [Certainty and would you like the tutorial]? Will I get anything from it? [No you will not gain any rewards for the tutorial, it's only purpose is to guide you]. No, I'll figure it out on my own and ask if I need help.

[Very well your system shall now be displayed].

This is it? [This is your menu, you still have your inventory, shop, and your gacha which you have not viewed yet]. As cool as checking thoughts three things out sounds, I need to know where the rest of my stats are. [I do not understand, these are your stats there are no errors]. What do you mean no errors? I'm missing all of my attributes, and why is my chi locked?

[The status board is correct, you do not have any attributes since you do not have the entire. As for your Chi, it was deemed to be too powerful so a compromise was decided]. What was the compromise you gave it to me just to lock me out of it? [No, it was decided that you would evolve instead and have an extended lifespan].

Please tell me that the evolution is actually useful. [This evolution is highly useful as it'll let you keep up with all of the demi-gods and if you train enough you will surpass even the children of the "Big Three". And due to your longevity, you will surpass even the Gods of this world, you will have to survive long enough to get that power however it shouldn't be very difficult for someone like you right]?

Wow playing towards my ego, what a low blow. Well let's gamble to get rid of my disappointment, Nova would you please pull up the gacha. [Certainly, one token is one spin would you like to use all ten at once]? Yeah sure hit the wheel with all ten. [Very well all ten tokens were used and the results are in].

[You have earned daggerx1 (common), leaf Concentration (rare), $50x3, weapons proficiency (rare), new set of clothsx3, minor regeneration (epic)]. Wow, I guess gambling does pay off... wait, on gambling's bad, bad Ace don't get addicted with one good roll. [Would you like to merge weapons proficiency LV 1 with knife proficiency LV 9]? Yeah, go for it.

[Very well merging... the merging between weapons proficiency LV 1 and knife proficiency LV 9 was successful. Merging your level nine knife skill with your level one weapons proficiency has resulted in weapons proficiency level 4. And before you panic you did not lose any skill with the knife].

What? Me? Panic, ha I would never. But I was theoretically about to freak out how did you know? [It is quite simple we are mentally connected which allows me to read your thoughts]. Oh, that's not concerning yeah… no how do I block you out?

[It was a joke I do not have access to your mind]. Wow, hurtful much? [I do not believe so].

Whatever, I'm going I'm too tired to deal with this. Hey, kid come over here! Oh look a very creepy-looking man I wonder what could go wrong. [Quest alert!!! Neutralize the kidnapper], wow I wonder who it is. Kid did you not hear me I said to get over here. Fine, what can I do for you old man?

I need you to get into the back of my van. Why would I do that what's in it for me? You like candy right? I guess, I don't think anyone hates candy. Great just go into the back of my van and you'll get all the candy you want. Mister I hate to disappoint you but I'm dumb, not stupid.

Kid, I don't think you understand you don't have a choice. Oh, why didn't you say so but you see I don't want to. [Ace I would recommend preparing your should you need it just visualize the dagger into your hand and it shall appear]. Kid like I said you don't have a choice, now you can be cooperative or I'll have to get a bit forceful.

Cool a knife, you're not the only one with a knife you know. However, I guarantee that mine better so I'll give you a counter offer you give me everything in your pockets and I won't hurt you. Kid you're a comedian, I'm going to hate messing you up you can only blame yourself. Na, get over here I'll beat you black and blue. You should thank me for what I'm about to do it might even fix your face a little.

Little brat I'm going to make you regret your birth... wha? [Congratulation on neutralizing the objective], what a easy kill He didn't even see me how boring. [It is to be expected he was just a normal human and while you are still very weak normal human are no match. And your reward for completing the quest is ID create and ID escape along with 100 xp].

Cool my reward for offing a guy is to kill more things, this is perfect everything I could ever want. [Ace I am sympathetic for you, killing is not a easy task however you can not think about this with a narrow mind. You are now in a world where the weak are fodder to the strong and your status as a "ordinary" human will only make life more difficult for you].

So your telling me to kill with reckless abandon? To let go of my morals and be a machine who's only goal is to fight, kill, and get stronger!? [Of course not, you should not kill unless you have no other choice. That man was nothing more than a rabid animal, one that has committed many atrocities].

Just let me think about it. I need to think about what I did and what I'll do from here. [Very well, just remember what's done is done the past matters not its what you'll do in the future that counts]. I will I'll call for you when I'm ready, [very well I shall wait for you then]. And Nova thank you [it is my pleasure to aid you in any way I can].
