He chuckled to himself one last time. "Alright, ninja world... bring it on. I've survived reading *this*, I can survive anything."
Just as Kirito made his bold declaration, another pop-up appeared before him. This one, unlike the dreaded backstory dump, was a beacon of hope. It had only five words, but those five words felt like a choir of angels singing in the background.
Kirito's eyes widened. "No way... this—this is it!" His heart raced as he read the message, feeling more excitement from this short blurb than from the endless backstory text.
**"Beginner package in the inventory."**
It was like the heavens opened up and blessed him. After all the cringe-inducing chaos of his past, this tiny message was his salvation. He could practically hear triumphant music playing in the background, like the start of a grand adventure.
But then a sarcastic thought popped into his mind: *Honestly, who needs an epic backstory when you've got a beginner package? Forget tragic parents and bloodline chaos; give me loot!*
Kirito gasped, his eyes gleaming with newfound determination. "Inventory... I have an *inventory*!" He said it like he'd just discovered the secret to life itself. With his heart pounding, he quickly opened the inventory screen, and there it was—an almost completely empty grid of boxes, waiting to be filled. It felt oddly satisfying.
And in one of those boxes, sitting like a tiny treasure, was a gift box. Not a glowing, mystical chest of legend or some futuristic capsule of wonder. No, this was wrapped in what looked like... normal birthday paper. Complete with a cheap bow on top.
Kirito stared at it. "Seriously? I've got the blood of four clans, and I get a gift wrapped like it came from the bargain section? where is it from clearence sale ???" He smirked but couldn't hide the excitement bubbling up. Whatever was inside, it had to be good.
Kirito hurriedly clicked on the box, and before he could even blink, the gift box appeared in his hand. His heart pounded in anticipation as he tore into it without even breathing, fingers trembling with excitement. *This is it. This is the moment where my luck turns around!*
But when he opened it, the contents stopped him dead in his tracks. There were only four items, and they left him staring blankly into the box, dumbfounded. Then, the anger hit—no, *exploded*—and his mind began cursing at levels he didn't even know were possible.
The four items were:
- A single shuriken.
- A single kunai.
- A ball, about the size of a baseball.
- A red pill that looked suspiciously like a soldier pill.
Kirito was *furious*. The joy he'd just experienced vanished like a fart in the wind. He clenched his fists. *Where's my sword made of chakra metal? Where are the jutsus? The legendary scrolls?! THIS IS IT?!* His eye twitched as he stared at the meager offerings inside the box. He could feel his blood boiling.
"Are you kidding me?!" he growled through gritted teeth. "This is supposed to be a beginner's package, not a clearance sale!"
Grumbling, he picked up the kunai first, hoping it was at least special. Nope. Another pop-up appeared:
---
**"Normal kunai made of normal metal. Can be used to kill people."**
**Tip:** "A child should not play with this. Please keep it back in the inventory."
---
Kirito's eye twitched again, and he let out an incredulous laugh. "A *tip*? Really? 'A child shouldn't play with this?' Oh yeah, great, thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to tell the next ninja trying to kill me that I'm not supposed to be playing with sharp objects!"
His voice was dripping with sarcasm as he tossed the kunai back into the inventory. *Fine, let's see what genius description the shuriken gets.* He picked it up next, already bracing himself for disappointment.
---
**"Normal shuriken made of normal metal. Can be used to kill people."**
**Tip:** "A child should not play with this. Please keep it back in the inventory."
---
Kirito sighed. "Wow, how original. Really pushing the boundaries of creativity here, huh?" He tossed the shuriken back into the inventory, barely fazed this time. *Okay, two down, two to go. What's next?* He reached for the baseball-sized ball, expecting another sarcastic pop-up about it being a normal smoke bomb or something equally lame.
But this time, the pop-up wasn't what he expected:
---
**"Orb of *,*!!*?#!!*?*!?#? Something that can?"!#!#!?"!##!? Of rank?!!!"?!##@."**
**Tip:** "Store it in the inventory and make sure it never sees the light of day. It can sa'+'?@,"?#?#?""
---
Kirito blinked, staring at the garbled mess of words on the screen. "What the…? What kind of broken, encrypted nonsense is this?! I can't even *read* half of it!" He hurriedly stuffed the orb back into his inventory, muttering sarcastically under his breath. "Great. I finally get something that could be useful, and even my *system* doesn't want me to know what it does. Yeah, sure, just give me a cursed item and tell me to keep it hidden forever. What could possibly go wrong?"
Shaking his head, he finally turned to the last item—the pill. It looked like a typical soldier pill, and by this point, Kirito wasn't expecting much. But when the pop-up appeared, his eyes widened, and for the first time since opening the box, he actually felt a flicker of hope.
---
**"Bloodline Pill: After being eaten, this pill mixes and maximizes the efficiency of all your bloodlines, taking them to their purest form for a carbon-based lifeform."**
**Tip:** "Take it when no one is around and make sure to stuff your mouth with a cloth. Do *not* lose consciousness during the process, or you will never wake up."
---
Kirito's jaw dropped. "Holy... *This* is what I'm talking about!" He couldn't believe his luck. A pill that could purify and maximize all of his bloodlines? This was exactly what he needed. He could finally stop being the living definition of wasted potential!
He grinned, practically bouncing on his feet. "I'll take this any day over a chakra metal sword!" But then his eyes landed on the tip, and his grin faltered. "Wait... stuff my mouth with a cloth? Why? And what do you mean, 'don't lose consciousness' or I'll *never wake up*?!"
Kirito stared at the pill with a mix of excitement and growing horror. "This better be worth it... or I'm coming for whoever made this system."
