Leo curiously looked at the little fairy that came out of the golden white screen. "Who... What are you?" he asked, curious about this system.
[My name is Cherry, and I am the guide of your system,] she answered with a nonchalant look on her face.
"Ahh, really?" Leo nodded, while nothing went through his head. "What is this system actually?" he asked.
[It's a system, what else could it be?] she replied.
"Hmm, so, can you explain the system functions to me?" Leo asked, wondering which question to ask so he could get a proper answer.
[As a guide, that's my purpose,] Cherry said as she continued.
[The Super Charity System works based on Good Karma.]
[It basically has many functions; however, right now only two functions are activated.]
[They are Appraisal and Rebate,] she explained.
[Appraisal: It allows the host, which is you, to appraise anything and find its value.]
[Rebate: It is the most important function of the system. Anything donated by the host will be returned to the host multiplied by 25 times.]
[Basically, anything the host gives comes back to him increased by 25 times.]
"What do you mean by that?" Leo asked, his heart pounding. If what he was thinking turned out to be true, this could be a game changer for him.
[Allow me to explain by giving an example.]
[Suppose the host donates a gold coin. Now, the host has two options: either receive a quality rebate or a quantity rebate.]
[If the host chooses quantity, then the host will receive 25 gold coins. However, if the host chooses quality, then the host will receive a higher form of currency, like mithril coins or platinum coins.] Cherry said with her same emotionless face.
"It's true!" Leon mumbled, covering his mouth with his hand. "Ahahaha, great! Now I can get to the same level as the other big clans' kids," he thought to himself with a happy smile, as he sat on his sofa in the Arune Room.
Cherry very much felt the need to tell him that his potential is now limitless as so his future and he shouldn't compare himself to any mortals, but she stopped ' He should find out it himself' she thought, as she calmly sat on is shoulders and looked around the Arune room.
The room of Arune is the space in their Arune key, Like an resting area in the Tower. They can enter this space whenever they are in any non-restricted and battle-free zone; it essentially acts as a traveling home.
Not to mention, it can also store items. However, it is limited to the capacity of the chest present in the room.
Currently, his chest storage is 100 square meters.
But, he can't use it now, it will be only available when his Tier advances to Tier 1, after he completes the Ascension Trial and reaches next tier from his current Tier 0 state.
"Let's now start the Trial" he mumbled to himself as he pressed on the blue screen which belongs to Tower.
{Set Your Avatar}
In the Tower, everyone has the option to enter with a different appearance. This function is usually utilized by people like Leon, who don't have support from a big clan or family. It's meant to ensure their survival, as using powers gained in the outside world is strictly forbidden unless necessary. It acts as a form of secrecy, protecting individuals in the real world if they accidentally come under the radar of a big clan.
Leon decided to use it. He changed his avatar from his original black hair and green eyes with tan skin to white-blue hair, the same eye color, and a lean build, unlike his current muscular build obtained through hard work.
After setting his avatar, he looked at his status.
"Status Open," Leon spoke out loud as a blue screen materialized in front of him.

Leon nodded, as ten is the limit for any mortal like him, of course unless you have bloodline of a big clan running through you and having it as a bloodline legacy.
Leon shook his head as he looked at next Step.
{Choose difficulty : Easy, Normal, Hard, Very Hard, Expert, Nightmare, Legendary, Insane}
Choosing a difficulty level is crucial as it defines one's future. For example, Leon's current status is at the maximum for any mortal without any bloodline legacy.
If he were to choose Easy difficulty, his stats would multiply by 1x as he ascends to the next tier, with the multiplier increasing as the difficulty rises:
Easy: 1x
Normal: 2x
Hard: 3x
Very Hard: 4x
Expert: 5x
Nightmare: 6x
Legendary: 8x
Insane: 10x
Leon looked at the difficulties, as he thought for a moment 'Normally I should have chosen expert level but now that I have this System, I will chose Insane' he thought as he moved his finger from Expert to Insane and pressed it.
As he pressed, another screen pop up in front of him .
{Awaken Inherent Ability}
{Y/N}
Awakening an ability or not doesn't affect the end result, at least that's public knowledge.
"Honestly, if I think about those greedy clans, I believe they would definitely hide this information," he thought as he pressed "No."
It was a big gamble, as he would not receive any boost from his ability. If he had taken an ability, the accompanying stat boost would have been involved with it.
Which means he will now enter with a peak mortal body in an Insane difficulty level which even Mythical awakeners can't guarantee a successful Trial pass.
As he pressed it , a portal appeared and then taking out the steel sword in his hands he stepped inside.
