Maimoun left the balcony and the birds to their own affairs and finally returned to his room, determined. He once again returned to the system window, running his finger over the notice and skipping all the words he had read before to reach the warning.
[Warning: You have been granted this grant from the Lord, and he will give you the freedom to choose a system to help you in this experiment. But that doesn't mean it can do whatever you want, even if it's a gift. Misuse of it will turn it into a curse, and you have the choice in your actions.]
"I hope to be at the good will of my Lord."
Maimoun pondered it for a while, some hesitation returning before he descended to look at the buttons below, or rather the button below. Despite his determination, there was still some hesitation in him, but he mostly resolved his matter by majority, so he didn't bother with the option of refusal and didn't even look at it. Now there was only one choice left in his eyes, one button.
After Maimoun dismissed the option of returning to his world, he became preoccupied with another matter.
"I wonder what kind of system I will receive to help me in this world? Will it be my means of cheating, the golden finger that will make me strong, rich, and powerful, just by thinking about how I will solve many of the beauties to be their knight in shining armor and make them fall in love with me, then make them wives for me... Just this makes me almost fly with joy... But alas, I shouldn't get too excited at times like this."
And while the boy swam in his rosy dreams, his finger approached closer to accepting the grant.
"My rosy dreams, the thrilling adventure, the foolish villains, the geniuses who will envy me for my cheating ability... Ahem, I mean my talent, the world's secrets undiscovered, all inhabitants of this world, the person whose name agrees with his luck is coming to you, so beware, Maimoun is coming."
The young man who thought his journey would be smooth with his system and was very hopeful for what was to come, advanced his finger forward, and hopes and expectations increased as he approached the button that would start an experience he had not anticipated. At that moment, he pressed the accept button, the first window disappeared, and in its place appeared a second window.
"Congratulations, you have officially received the gift of dreaming in another world, an experience that you cannot see or feel in your original world. Although all that you will experience is a dream, it will not be anything but realistic with laws that are not studied and illogical, but it will soon be very close to the tangible reality with the five senses like hearing, sight, and touch. As for the logic of this dream, do not worry, it will not be like Like dreams that have no meaning, but it will also be very close to reality in terms of the laws of physics, mathematics, and philosophy, with some slight differences that will only increase the enjoyment in this long dream."
Maimoun nodded in agreement as he read. If the laws of this world were consistent with his previous world, he would have a high starting point for understanding and adapting to this new world.
[As for the time you can stay here, it's up to you, and don't worry about staying here affecting your body in the real world. There's no need to fear falling into a coma that lasts for many years, making your family worry about you. Whether you spend just a few minutes here or pass through many years or even decades or centuries, only seven hours will pass in the real world.]
"Well, that's reassuring news indeed. Knowing this makes me enjoy this experience without feeling guilty towards my family for making them worry about me... Just thinking about my mother's concern for me makes all this journey tasteless, but if only my family could come with me to this wonderful dream... Anyway, there's no point in crying over the half-empty glass, I must enjoy the half-full one instead."
With that, Maimoun continued reading.
Stolen novel; please report.
[So enjoy this world within the limits of what's permissible and don't drift into your deviant desires to become one of the regretful. Of course, you can ignore this warning and do as you please, but know that it's your own responsibility. As for your cheating system, it will be your choice, so choose wisely because it will be with you throughout this journey, and you won't be able to change it later.]
[Note: Be aware that regardless of the system you choose, there will be tasks related to that system, which will vary depending on the system, and others will be tasks of the world that are not affected by the system. And finally, there are tasks that you impose on yourself, such as promises and vows, which the system will classify as tasks too.]
"So be it then, the system will be of my choice. This is good in a way that it will be a system aligned with my goals and objectives... But on the other hand, this is bad because it will come with pressure and hidden fear that I might choose the wrong system willingly."
"At least if I were forced into a system, I wouldn't have a choice but to work with it. But if it's my choice, then I'll be at a crossroads."
Maimoun couldn't help but feel illogical, wanting things to go his way while at the same time wanting someone else to choose for him to avoid the burdens of choice. Freedom and responsibility are two sides of the same coin.
"Simply put, this is a blatant manifestation of human greed. Maimoun, do you want to enjoy the benefits without wanting to pay anything in return!!? Truly, we humans are ridiculously greedy."
Maimoun admitted to himself what was going on inside him, making him feel the extent of his unreasonable desires. In the long run, he had no solution to rid himself of this trait. He sighed weakly and decided not to dwell on such thoughts.
"Let's go back to the tasks; it seems they are divided into three sections. Apparently, the tasks of the world will be the most difficult since they will be influenced by the external conditions that I'll be in, the situation I'll be in will determine them, meaning there's a great chance for things to get out of my control, as I might not be able to keep up with them."
"As for the system tasks, they seem to be my feast for leveling up, they're the tasks in the field I choose by choosing the system, so I must choose a suitable system. Speaking of the system, I wonder what systems will be given to me as options?"
Maimoun was curious about the proposed systems but didn't rush to seek the answer.
"Finally, the tasks that come from my promises are indeed the main course.... How could the system be so generous as to assign tasks for me and reward me for them!!?"
Maimoun began to wander and play in his imagination until he found himself smiling into space obliviously.
*Task 1: Have breakfast in the morning ==> Difficulty level: Hard ==> Reward: 1000 experience points
*Task 2: Count from 0 to 100 ==> Difficulty level: Very Hard ==> Reward: 10000 experience points
*Task 3: Go to sleep ==> Difficulty level: Extremely difficult ==> Reward: 100000 experience points
.
.
.
*Task 257: Do nothing for 5 seconds ==> Difficulty level: Impossible ==> Reward: 99999....999
"So I must choose wisely if I really want to reach higher levels quickly."
He said as he wiped the leaked saliva he just noticed, then Maimoun ran his finger over the screen to continue reading, reaching the end and finding a button at the bottom that said "Go to System Selection."
"Alright, let's do this."
The window changed again to a larger one divided into three parts, at the top right it said "Good," and on the opposite side there was "Evil," and between them was "Neutral."
'Wow, it's truly astonishing that the responsibility falls solely on me whether I choose good, evil, or remain neutral. So I'll bear all the responsibility regardless of my choice... Well, let's see what the systems associated with evil are.'
Maimoun clicked on the icon on the far left to expand the screen dedicated to evil, occupying three-quarters of the window.

Theft System Learn More
Corruption System Learn More

Rape System Learn More

'The Lust System would be a good system if my actions had no consequences, but as for the other systems, they are typical evil systems except for two absolute evil systems: Exploitation and Deception. One of them makes the rich feed off the backs of the poor instead of helping them, making the poor poorer and the rich richer. It represents absolute selfishness and greed.'
'As for the Seduction System, whoever chooses it is truly evil for the sake of evil. Their goal isn't wealth, power, or authority but merely to seduce people. If they wanted any of these things, they would choose a system that aligns with them, but if they wanted to combine all of them, they would choose this system to destroy society. Therefore, seduction involves various actions from killing and stealing to lust and exploitation.'
"At any rate, this field doesn't concern me; I only wanted to explore it out of curiosity. Most likely, I'll choose a system from the good systems, so let me see what the neutral systems are before I make a decision."
Maimoun pressed the icon for the neutral system, causing the window to expand and the evil window to shrink until it occupied only three-quarters of the screen.

Harem System - Learn More

"Wait, wait, the Harem System !!?"
Maimoun's eyes sparkled when he saw this system, and he eagerly awaited its description. After all, it was the first problem that came to his mind: women.
"Alright, let's see the description of this system first, then I'll decide... I shouldn't choose it without thinking... I guess?"
And then he clicked on "Learn More" to reveal the system's description.
[Harem System: Obtain beauty and rise in power; the more women who fall in love with you, the more experience points you gain. By satisfying your lust through dealing with women, you earn points without needing to please them to gain points.]
"Finally, after finding the system of my dreams... But what's the story? Shouldn't this system be neutral? Then why is it so deviant? Don't rush, Maimoun, keep reading, perhaps you've rushed to judgment."
