"Master, allow me to explain the primary functions of your system," came the calm, clear voice of Sia. Her tone was matter-of-fact, with no trace of hesitation. "Currently, the system consists of several key features: Luck Plunder, Lottery, Dimensional Travel, Quest System, and others that will unlock as your power grows."
Blake Silverstone, still adjusting to his new reality, listened attentively. The possibilities the system presented were more than intriguing—they were transformative.

1. Luck Plunder
"First, we have Luck Plunder. This function allows you to steal the luck of others," Sia explained, the weight of the power she described sinking in. "By diminishing someone's luck, you can cause various misfortunes. If their luck reaches zero, they will meet an untimely death, with no explanation."
Blake's eyes narrowed as he processed the information. The ability to manipulate something as fundamental as luck was not just powerful—it was dangerous.
Level 1 Luck Plunder:
Steal 20–50 points of luck per use.
(Higher levels are locked.)
Cooldown: Once every three days (charges can be stored).
Limit: A target can only be plundered once per day.
The thought of being able to control the fortune of others was a bit unsettling, but Blake knew it would be a valuable tool for both combat and strategy.

2. Luck Points
"Luck Points are the currency used within the system," Sia continued. "You can use these points for a variety of functions, such as drawing from the system's lotteries, enhancing your physical abilities, or even copying skills from others."
Blake nodded. The versatility of Luck Points gave him many ways to grow stronger.
Basic Lottery: 30 points per draw.
Intermediate Lottery: 200 points per draw.
Advanced Lottery: 2000 points per draw.
Uses of Luck Points:
Increase physical strength, energy reserves, and magical prowess.
Steal or replicate abilities from others.
Example:
Basic Skill Plundering: 30 points (80% success rate for basic skills).
Intermediate Skill Plundering: 200 points (50% success rate for intermediate skills).
Advanced Skill Plundering: 2000 points (success rate: 10%).
Blake realized that the ability to steal or replicate skills from others would give him a significant edge, particularly when facing opponents with abilities he couldn't easily counter.

3. Dimensional Travel
Sia's tone shifted slightly as she mentioned another key function. "The Dimensional Travel feature allows you to visit alternate worlds. You can enter one once a week, with the difficulty of the world matching your current strength. Alternatively, you can pay additional points to select the difficulty level of the world."
Blake's interest peaked. The thought of traveling to different dimensions was exciting—each world would present new challenges and opportunities to grow stronger.
Dimensional Travel Difficulty Levels:
30 points: Beginner world.
100 points: Intermediate world.
500 points: Advanced world.
Time Dilation: You may pay additional points to adjust the flow of time within other worlds.
Blake was already planning how he might use this ability. The ability to explore different realms for experience, resources, and power was invaluable.

4. Quest System
Sia explained the Quest System, which would be unlocked as Blake's strength grew. "Once activated, the Quest System will provide you with various tasks that yield rewards—such as Luck Points, magical items, or even new skills. Quests will appear as your power increases."
This seemed like a straightforward, but useful, way to continue advancing his abilities. With quests offering rewards for completing tasks, Blake could maintain steady growth while keeping things interesting.

5. Scanning Ability
Finally, Sia introduced Blake to the Scanning Ability. "This function allows you to analyze your targets, giving you information about their strengths, weaknesses, and magical capabilities. It will prove invaluable when preparing for battles or encounters."
Blake immediately saw the usefulness of this ability. Being able to know the exact capabilities of an opponent before facing them would give him an enormous advantage.
Blake took a moment to process everything he had just learned. The power of the system was undeniable, and the variety of abilities it offered would allow him to grow and adapt in ways he had never imagined. But there was still one more thing.
"By the way, Sia," Blake asked, his curiosity piqued, "you mentioned these are the current functions. Does that mean more will unlock as I grow stronger?"
"Correct, Master," Sia confirmed. "As your strength and Luck Points increase, new features and abilities will be unlocked. For now, your Luck Plunder ability is still in its basic form, allowing only small amounts of luck to be stolen. But as you progress, it will become far more potent."
Blake nodded, understanding that the system's full potential was yet to be realized. It was just the beginning, and there was much more to unlock.
"Ah, Master, before I forget," Sia said suddenly, her tone shifting to something more cheerful, "I have something for you to help you get started."
A gift box appeared in front of Blake, and his curiosity stirred once more. The floating box looked elegant, almost as though it were part of a well-designed RPG game.
Blake tapped the box lightly, and as he did, a burst of light enveloped the room. When it faded, a single book appeared before him.
"This is the Blank Energy Training Manual," Sia announced. "By using this, you will learn to harness Blank Energy—a versatile form of energy that can be shaped into any type of magic. Whether you seek elemental control, barrier magic, or even time manipulation, Blank Energy can adapt to any form of magic without loss in quality."
Blake's eyes lit up. Blank Energy—a form of energy that could be adapted to any magical system. This was a rare and highly coveted resource in many worlds. No longer would he be bound by any one type of magic. With Blank Energy, he could create his own path.
Without hesitation, Blake opened the book, and as he did, a wave of information flooded his mind. Blank Energy was more than just a versatile resource—it was the key to mastering any type of magic, and Blake now understood the fundamentals of controlling it.
Blake closed his eyes for a moment, taking in the weight of what he had just acquired. This was just the beginning of his journey, and with the powers of the system at his command, there was no limit to what he could achieve.
Sia's voice echoed in his mind, reassuring and calm.
"Master, the path ahead may be challenging, but with your abilities, you are more than ready to face what lies in your future."
Blake exhaled slowly, a faint smile forming on his lips. His destiny was now in his hands, and with the system's power, he would shape it as he saw fit.
"Let's see where this path takes me," Blake murmured, determination in his eyes.
"This is only the beginning."
