"Ok now tell me about this screen"
[This screen serves as your progress bar, showcasing your current strengths and abilities, as well as all your skills. The intriguing part is that I have no idea who created me, yet I can sense a connection to something much larger.]
"Weird. What do you mean you're attached to something bigger, and you don't even know who made you? How is that possible?"
[Because I can feel the power and knowledge that surrounds me; I just can't discern its source. As for my origin, I was born from the system present in your father. In a sense, I am a child of that system. So, how could I know where it came from or who created it?]
"So, you don't even know who made this system—meaning you? It seems that only father can answer all these questions."
[Wait a minute! Can you stop thinking of me and the system as one and the same? We're not identical.]
"Ok, so are you saying you two are different but still intertwined? You are part of this system, right?"
[To be honest, I am only associated with this system, but I am here. I am not just a system; I have my own feelings and the ability to think, much like a living human. You can understand that I'm functioning as your translator within this system.]
"If so, was there a translator like you in the system my father had?"
[Yes, in your father's system, there was someone like me, and I emerged from that.]
"Okay, then tell me about that screen in that system."
[Of course! As you can see at the top of the screen, your name is displayed first, followed by your race. Next, it shows your level, which is currently at 1 — the starting level. After that, there's the experience bar, indicating how much experience points you need to reach the next level.]
"So, if I increase my experience to a certain point, I can advance to the next level. But how do I gain this experience? Is it through practice, or is there another way?"
[You can enhance your abilities through practice and by gaining experience from battles. While ordinary individuals also elevate their levels in a similar manner, they cannot extract every lesson from their fights. However, with the help of the system, you will be able to gain insights from every encounter.]
"I understand, this is amazing! Please, tell me more."
[Next, you will receive your class, which defines what you wish to learn. You can choose two areas, and from what I gather, you're interested in magic and technology, specifically machinery.]
"So, if I understand correctly, I can pursue both fields simultaneously, with the system supporting me in each. Hold on a moment! Did you mention that I can select two areas? Are there options besides mechanics and magic that can help me grow stronger?"
[Yes, it is, and you'll understand it later. However, only magic and mechanics will be suitable for you. Once you choose your class, your status bar will undergo some changes, so make your decision now.]
"Well then, I choose magic and mechanics."
The moment Aaron made his choice, his system began to announce both classes, and the words on his status bar transformed.
[Great! Your status bar has been updated.]

"Yes, but I can't help but notice that some of my skills remain outside of these classifications. It seems they defy both categories, as if they belong to a separate realm altogether!" I ponder aloud, amiably intrigued by the prospects of these unexplored skills.
"You're absolutely right!" the response comes, enthusiastic and ready to guide me through this adventure. "Now, let's delve deeper into your current status. Your Main Class is now officially identified as Magic, and you've reached Level 2 within this realm. This is thrilling news! You've laid the groundwork by learning fundamental magical concepts, which opens the door to even greater discoveries ahead. Now, let's navigate through your attributes. The first one is Mena. It's essential to understand that every time you wield your magic, it will draw from your mana reserves. At this moment, you possess a robust 100 mana points, a solid foundation to begin your magical exploits!"
I can almost feel the energy resonating within me as I contemplate the possibilities that lie ahead. The world of magic beckons! "And what about my M.P. Recovery?" I inquire, thirsting for more knowledge about my capabilities.
"Ah! An excellent question!" comes the enthusiastic reply. "Your M.P. Recovery, which refers to the rate at which you regenerate your spent mana, currently stands at 5 M.P. per minute at your current level. This means that as you engage in battles or cast spells, your mana will gradually restore itself, allowing for relentless pursuit of magical mastery. Keep an eye on your mana management; it is the key to dominating the arcane arts! With every adventure, you shall grow in strength, unlocking still greater possibilities as you climb through the realms of magic and mechanics."
[Now regarding stats, Strength improved melee damage, the ability to bear weight, and was also a requirement for some heavy equipment.
Dexterity improved movement speed, attack speed, and evasion. It also gave a bonus speed to ranged attacks performed by your magic.
Endurance increased Health and Stamina. 1 Endurance gave 10 HP and 10 Stamina. Certain skills could influence these numbers. Endurance also affected some abilities and skills and increased HP and Stamina recovery rates.
All actions depleted Stamina, be it attacking, blocking, walking, running, swimming, crafting, etc.
Endurance also affected physical defense. There were many formulas contributing to the calculation of defense. For example, even if two person' defense stats were equal, one of them might not be wearing metal armor, so they would take more damage from an attack than the other character.
Other factors that affected damage taken included attack type (melee, range, attack type, energy), might, personal attributes, and equipment material. All of these factors were taken into consideration.
Intelligence affected Perceptivity and Willpower. A character with higher Intelligence could master their skills faster and gain more experience. It also increased mastery and crafting speeds, and it could affect the quality of any machinery crafted by a Mechanic, making it the most important stat for the class.
Mystery affected a character's talent for supernatural powers, and it affected psychic powers and magic abilities, like how Strength or Dexterity affected physical abilities.
Charm was useful when improving relationships with different people and Factions. It even enabled characters to enjoy discounts with certain sellers.
Luck affected judgment.
These were the seven main attributes that Attribute points could be added to.
Then, there was also Energy, a core component of the mechanic as 'Mana' for megician. It could only be increased through leveling or by acquiring certain skills, and it was described as 'a manifestation of the dormant power that lies in living cells'. Energy was a requirement to unlocking superpowers, as well as latent awakening but you have to learn it in the near future that is the reason it didn't show in status bar because you haven't learnt it yet]
"What about the other two?"
[Mental Strength, You can avoid any kind of mental stress or hypnosis, as well as staying calm in difficult situations, it makes it possible to take the right decision in difficult situations.
Concentrationn points will be more useful in improving your mental strength. This is also helpful for complete any task at a better rate. Also it will help you to learn new things quickly.]
[What is given next are the skills, about which I do not need to tell you, and after that the class talent, which is an important part of your class like magic, water magic, fire magic etc. When you reach a certain level in these, they will be added to your class 'talent' and can also buy you new skills.]
Right now Aaron was understanding all this that only then he gets a book which he had not seen before. Aaron keeps on listening to the system and also reads the pages of that book, after some time when the system stopped explaining itself and Aaron understood everything. He looked around him and after that he thought of leaving from there and starting his journey when he heard a voice.
[You should stay here for a while and raise your level a bit before you leave this place]
"What do you mean, I can do all this in the repetition of the journey and anyway, I have taken all the important books from here."
I was a bit confused when she asked me to say, "I have already taken everything that can be taken." Is there something still left?
