Seeing a floating blue holographic screen, I again reminded myself that none of it was a dream but my new reality.
After staring at the screen for a while I asked the system why is my charm so low when I look pretty handsome,'one of the important question that I was unable to ask yesterday due to my forgetful nature'.
[Your look sucks]
Not thinking that I would get this type of answer, I almost lost my footing.
Thinking that, it was angry because it doesn't have any face. I tried to ask him to answer me seriously but the cut me off , saying -
[Do you really think I can't read your mind , you and I are interconnected so I can easily know what you are thinking]
To which I ask "why can't I read your thoughts".
[Because you don't have the authority]
Feeling helpless I asked him to answer me honestly.
To which it said -
[Charm means much more than face value, it takes into account other things also like- how much you alone have influenced the world and how much presence you have]
To which I asked " it still doesn't explain why my charm is this low".
To my question the system answered -
[The previous body owner didn't have much presence {at this moment}]
"So, does it mean that even though I am pretty handsome but nobody will see me as I see myself".
[You aren't handsome, you are just average]
"Why can't you just admit the truth, don't tell me are you jealous".
[The looks of people in this world are much more better than the people in your previous world]

Listening to system's explanation, I was a little bit convinced that, maybe what it said was really the truth.
So, after getting my answer I just shrugged it off, knowing fully well that I will eventually find out the truth. So, why start getting worked up over something like this.
"Hey, system".
[Yes]
"Answer one last question".
[Ask]
"If this didn't had any talent then how was then previous owner able to completely master a 5-star Movement technique".
[It's because you are talentless, not because of this body or the previous host.]
'Shit, I am helpless.
[Of course]
'Juat ignoring it'.
Shifting aside my previous thoughts in a corner of my mind, I started to think about the items or things that I would eventually need for my survival and which doesn't have much effect on the strength of main characters. As I need these things to become strong enough in two months time.
Because after two months, the Luminous academy will be opened and I may have to fight with others or maybe even kill them with my life on the line, just to be able to survive in future events that would shake the whole human realm.
The strength of most main characters should be between 'C+ to B'.
And I can't think of any ways that is better than taking the items(cheats) of the villain that are irrelevant to the main story or taking items of the other characters that doesn't affect their strength by much.
After planning which item to steal ,*cough*.
I mean obtain, I asked the system does it have any functions like GPS .
[Yes, I have something like GPS]
"Great, then help me I need to find something "
[You don't know where it is]
"I know but it's location is umm... vague..."
[Vague! Why?]
"Because I didn't write an exact location of it]
[You didn't, but why?]
"Because isn't the main character someone like chosen one that has heavenly luck"
[Is that the only reason]
Feeling frustrated due to system's constant nagging, I answered it as honestly as I could to make him stop being so nosy.
"Because readers don't like too much useless information and describing the location is too much work. So, why bother with it when you can just escape with a few words".
[...]
And I think my method works wonderfully. As I can't see the system asking me anymore questions, but I can feel that the system is clearly disappointed in me.
Feeling that it is disappointed, I asked it to stop being like that told it "isn't the purpose of system is helping it's host".
[...]
Seeing that it was still not responding, I just switched my tactics.
"Aw , come on even girls doesn't show this much attitude".
And guess what, my tactic worked wonderfully because it finally answered me after it's long pause.
[Tsk, you know]
"What".
[That you are hopeless.
Fine, now tell me the location]
"Black wood mountain in Rio city".
It's named on the hero who died protecting the city, well who cares as he is already dead and dead man tells no tales.
[Wait]
Feeling confused, I asked it "why".
To which it asked -
[Doesn't your phone has GPS then why aren't you using it]
Feeling that the question was on point, I answered him truthfully.
"I already tried but I lost my way many more times than I can count".
