Marco had rescued Ali five years ago; since then, he had grown into a cute black-haired boy with fair skin and onyx eyes (like young Sasuke from Naruto).
When Ali woke up early in the morning, he went to wash up. After washing up, he heard a robotic voice in his head.
DING, system loading 10%, 20%, 40%, 80%, 100%.
System loading is complete.
Congtulations host invention and knowledge system had fully bind into your soul.
Ali was confused and asked, "What the hell is going on? Why am I hearing a rebotic voice in my head?"
Host, calm down. As I mentioned earlier, I am a system designed to assist you in this new life. Thanks for the karamatic merit of your previous life. The god of renunciation has decided to reward you with this system.
Ali was surprised when he heard the system knew that this is his second life; he never told anyone of this, not even Marco and Whitebeard, the closest people to him. Because of this, he believed that the system was telling the truth.
Ali then heard the system saying.
Host, the system can provide you with various resources and materials, but you will need to purchase them from the system's shop.
To purchase those materials and resources from the system's shop, you will need to exchange them for system points.
Ali was surprised when he heard this but continued listening.
There are two ways to gather system points. The first way is by defeating a strong enemy. The stronger the enemy is, the more points you earn.
The second way is by inventing new things; the more powerful your invention is, the more points you earn.
If the host invented something really extraordinary, the system will upgrade, and it might introduce new functions, materials, and resources to you.
Ali was taken aback upon hearing this and thought to himself, "Very interesting." I think I should ask Vista to teach me swordsmanship. Since I watched the One Piece anime in my previous life, I have always aspired to be a swordsman."
Then the system continued, and Oliver listened carefully to the system.
A starter package is available for the host to claim. Would the host like to claim the package now?
Ali smiled and nodded, then he said to the system, "Yes, system, I would like to claim the starter package now."
As you wish, host.
The host can claim one of the following packages.
The Alchemy package includes introductory and intermediate books on alchemy, an intermediate rank cauldron, and 1000 system points.
Ali smiled when he heard this and continued listening.
With the alchemy package, you will learn how to make medicines, elixirs, and pills that have a variety of effects, such as healing effects, body-strengthening effects, and many more.
Ali's eyes brightened up when he heard this, and he thought to himself, "I might have a chance to cure Whitebeard in the future if I choose the alchemy package."
While Ali was in deep thought, the system continued.
Weapon package This package contains books on how to engineer and invent weapons. This package includes both beginner and intermediate books about weapons; you will also get 1000 system points.
Ali was stunned when he heard this but the system continued
The last package you can choose is the genetic engineering package. With this package, you can learn how to empower any living being by re-engneering their genetics. You will also receive 1000 system points.
The genetic engineering package also contains beginners and intermediate books about genetic engineering.
Ali contemplated which of the three packages he should select: "Weapons are not my interest; I intend to become a swordsman in the future; additionally, I don't want Whitebeard to suffer the same fate as depicted in canon." I don't care about the butterfly effects or significant changes that my existence and choices may bring about; I will simply confront them head-on."
After making his decision, Ali declared to the system, "System, I choose the Alchemy package."
DING, Congratulations, host! You received the Alchemy package. The package had been stored in the system space storage dimension. You can check the storage tag in the system's home panel to access the space storage dimension at any time.
Ali smiled and nodded. He then exited the washroom and walked towards the Moby Dick dining hall to have breakfast.
