Chereads / Soulbound in Aetheria / Chapter 2 - The System

Chapter 2 - The System

What should I do?

"First things first, let's check my new system. Now, as much as I can remember in novels, you just have to say it, so I'll try doing the same.

"System"

Suddenly, a blue screen appeared before me with something written on it. Ahh... it almost feels like a dream. Maybe I should try pinching myself. I would be devastated if it was all just a dream, so I pinch my cheek.

"Ahh, it hurt, so it's not a dream after all. Now, let's check the system."

-------------

>

< Do you want to start the system? >

[ Yes / No ]

-------------

Whenever I read fantasy novels I have always wondered what would happen if the MC pressed no instead of yes curiosity started to bubble inside me but I quickly shook to head to put a lead to my curiosity 

'You never get chances like that again better not waste it to satisfy this useless curiosity'

So before my curiosity could get the best of me I pressed yes 

-------------

[ loading system .....10%]

[ loading system .....20%]

...

[ loading system .....100%]

< System loaded successfully >

-------------

It took a few minutes but the system got loaded successfully and there were many things in it 

-------------

Name: Ehan Blackwood 

Race: Human 

lvl: 1 (0/150)

Mana: 100/100

Job: Soulbinder (Lvl:1)

Subjob: Beast tamer (Lvl: 1)

< Strength: 50 >

 < Agility: 30 >

< Vitality: 25 >

< Intelligence: 45 >

< Defence: 40 >

< Magic defence: 25 >

---------------

So I am currently at level 1 which means my Beast tamming and soul-binder job are both at level 1 too and everything else looks pretty decent too I got a fair amount of mana and moderate strength.

Just out of curiosity, I decided to punch a bolder which was nearby

*thud*

as expected bolder did not shatter nor did it break in 2 but was able to crack it a little so I guess it's right to say that I have a fair amount of strength too.

After checking my strength it was now time for the main course that's right guys the thing that I have been waiting for since the day I watched my first anime.

But there was still a tiny bit of an issue I don't know how to cast spells So decided to overwork my brain again to figure out the solution. but then I suddenly remember

'This is what system is made for '

If my knowledge serves me correctly then most of the time systems can speak But I don't know if my system can or cannot But it is never too late to try with that in mind I decided to ask the system

"Hey system how can I use magic" As soon asked that a female voice started to speak to me 

[Host can only use the spells that he has learned or analyzed]

"What do you mean by analyzed "

[If the Host witnesses any other creature casting a spell, the system can analyze it and store it for the Host to use, provided it's within the host's level capacity.]

"So basically you can only analyze the spells that are within my level"

[That's correct]

"So how can I increase my level"

[Host can increase their level by earning experience points either by slaying monsters or completing quests assigned by the system.]

"How about my Job class level"

[Host can distribute the experience points earned between their personal level and their Job class level]

So basically I just need to slay some monsters to increase my level or complete the quest given by the system that is simple enough.

"System what are the skills available to me at soul binding Level 1"

[There is currently only one skill available to host in the Soulbinding job class Which is soul Vision]

"Give me its details"

------

< Skill: Soul vision >

(5 Mana Points) 

- Allows user to See and communicate with the spirit of dead people if they have not passed to the afterlife yet

------

I guess the ability to resurrect dead will unlock once I level up my job class now it is not bad but what's with the mana consumption let's ask the system about it 

"What is with the mana consumption like is it going to consume 5 mana points for every minute used"

[No, Soul Vision is more like a passive skill. You can activate and deactivate it at will. However, once you deactivate Soul Vision, it will require five mana points to activate it again.]

Well that's not bad I wonder what more skills I have 

"System what other skills are available"

[ Host currently has 3 available skills ]

-----------

< Soul Vision >

< Skill: Soul vision >

(5 Mana Points) 

-Allows user to See and communicate with the spirit of dead people if they have not passed to the afterlife yet

< Tame >

(25 Mana points)

-Allows the user to tame the creatures that are either badly wounded or have no will to resist

< Creation >

-Allows the user to create objects if necessary materials are provided

-Mana consumption will depend on the object formed

-----------

I see so It's not like I can just walk over to a dragon and tame it I would be very simple if it was now the first thing I need to do is secure some food and find some weapon to fight the the monsters there was also something about quest in the system lets check it out first

"System what is the quest for today"

-----------

< Quest: Craft a wooden sword > 

< Rewards: 10 Exp Points. > 

< Current Exp: 0 / 150 > 

-----------

'Craft a wooden sword eh? it's like killing 2 birds with one stone I needed a sward anyway so let's go ahead and complete it '

And I don't even need to do much work I can just craft it with my creation skill

"System activate creation"

[ Creation activated ]

Suddenly another blue screen appeared before me it was a different one from the system

< what would you like to craft >

There was only one line written on it so I spoke aloud 

"Wooden sward"

---------

< Three options are available for wooden awards >

----Basic Wooden Sword:

+0 Attack

Materials Required: Nearby branches and twigs

.Mana Consumption: None.

-----Reinforced Wooden Sword:

+2 Attackt

Materials Required: Dense wood from a sturdy tree

Mana Consumption:(5 mana points).

-----Enchanted Wooden Sword:

+5 Attack

Materials Required: Rare wood from an ancient tree

Mana Consumption:(15 mana points).

---------

If I am going to Create a Sward then a basic one is no good it's just a practice sward and to make the Reinforced Wooden Sword I will need wood i am currently in the forest so there is no problem with wood but the question is to how to cut the tree cause I don't have any ae pr anything
