Chapter 5 - System

"Welp let's just see where this goes."

"First and foremost, let's check my status.Wait i already said status why isn it popping up?"

[User has to will the status screen to show up if you don't intend to look at your status and just simply say status the status screen won't show the same goes with the mental commands if you simply think about status it won't show either you have to will it]

"Oh, I get it now, that's actually really convenient. I am assuming the same is true for every other system interface."

[That is indeed correct]

"Alright then."

"Status"

Suddenly, a White interface with black letters appeared in front of him.And after that a message appeared.

[User can customize how the status interface looks, you can also choose what information it displays]

"Ok so can you change it from light to dark mode cuz it kinda hurts my eyes looking at it.And you don't need to display my name from my previous life."

[On it user]

"That name was one of the things binding my sanity in my previous life.Not just that it was also one of the few things i could remember about myself but now ill have to abandon it."Gun thought with a melancholic look on his face.

"Hey i want to ask you something what's with the hidden information."

[Can you specify what information you're referring to user]

"Don't play dumb you know the locked information and the currently unavailable bloodline and also the question mark's" 

[The (locked) are attribute's or abilities connected to you're soul aka something you also had in you're previous life but are currently too weak to use]

"Alright what about the bloodline that's currently unavailable and the question marks."

[the question marks are abilities you currently have but can't use fully, think of it as abilities that come from your body instead of the soul aka abilities your current body has and unlike the (locked) attribute's and abilities your currently able to use a really small part of it and also you can't unlock it by simply being strong enough you will have to increase proficiency in them]

[And if something is currently unavailable it means you will have to unlocked it via completing a quest]

"Ok i get the gist of the first and the last one.But the second one is still confusing how do i increase proficiency in something i don't know."

[I am sorry user i think i worded it wrong what i meant was the more you discover about those abilities the more you will be able to use them well in your case your physique and race are tied so you have only half the work to do]

"Alright, thanks for the explanation, i get it now hoooaaah."Gun said as he started, yawning.

"Before i go to sleep, i want to ask you about this mirror."Gun then looked at the hand that was holding the mirror, but it wasn't there.

"Yo system, where the hell did that mirror go."

[You mean the system key it was destroyed when you installed me]

"Oh okay ill hit the hay now, see you tomorrow weird anthropomorphic Male voice."He then laid his head on the straw pillow and drifted off to a dreamless sleep.

After a few hours, he got up and said."Hey system how long did i sleep"

[you slept a total of 9 hours 3 minutes 27 seconds]

"it's still dark in here, must be pretty deep in the cave where I'm staying.Anyway's i wanted to ask about that innate ability that i have what does it do?Or wait let me guess i can read it in the description by focusing on it "

[your guess is correct User]

"fine then"

"status" 

Suddenly a black screen with white letter's appeared.Gun then focused on his innate ability.After that a description appeared under the innate ability

{Innate ability: eye's of the fog<on/of>

Description:

'Once upon a time, a boy born behind bars, Dreamed of freedom, looking up at the stars. He behaved well, hoped his jailers would see, But years turned to decades, he never was free.

An old man now, he asked the guards why, They only stared, didn't utter a sigh. Frustration boiled, he snapped one day, Lunged at the guards, fog in his way.

The prison was mist, a cruel illusion, A life of lies, a dark intrusion. With trembling hands, he gouged his eyes out, Wishing to never see another doubt.'

Eyes of the fog allow you to ward off mental attack's and see through illusion's

side effect's: you may lose your sanity, Will also reveal thing's to you That may destroy your psyche and will fry your Brian}

"What a neat ability and interesting story too, but I'm not a fan of the side effects, so can you turn it off."

[Of course]

{Innate ability: eye's of the fogof>}

"I don't feel anything change, oh well, let's go see the color of my eyes now, let's see if its changed."As he approached the bucket of water and looked at his reflection, what he saw was two fiery red-orange eyes with vertically slit pupil's."Damn, it's not just that i am handsome, i am straight up drop-dead gorgeous." Gun said bragging to himself."Yo system am I some sort of half human dragon hybrid?"

[I don't know user]

"What aren't you some sort of higher being, how do you not know you could have just said that I'm too weak to know like any other system I read about."

[User I'm sorry if this maybe disappointing to hear but I'm not like those systems you read about i won't make you overpowered or super strong with quests and leveling up if you want to for example increase your strength attribute by 2 you will have to give me 2 years of worth of your QI for it to increase the same goes true for you're other attributes and abilities if you want to improve them you will have to give me you're QI to improve them]

"What about those quest you talked about, how will those quests help me if there is no incentive to complete them."

[A quest can help you for example find rare treasure or it can help and give you hint's to speed up getting something you want for example if you wanted to forge a sword a quest may pop up giving you hint's to find rare material's or tell you about forging technique's you don't know about] 

"Damn that's actually really convenient because I don't want to become overpowered quickly. Don't get me wrong had you been that type of system, I would have still been happy about it.But this is much better for me.I want to enjoy getting stronger for a longer period of time because it's a fun feeling.I of course don't want to be stuck in a realm of power for too long though."

"Welp now that we got the exposition out the way, how about you tell me if I have any quests available." 

[You do user if you want to see your quest all you have to do is go to the quest interface by saying Quest or giving a mental command]

"fine"
