After seeing his status and the detailed information that had appeared before him, Kailen felt a mix of astonishment and confusion. How did this "system" know his name and the breathing technique he had learned from his father? His heart began to pound, his eyes fixed on the screen before him, afraid it might vanish at any moment. He tried to convince himself that the system was trustworthy—it had just helped him face down a wolf—but deep down, he couldn't shake his unease. Could he truly rely on this system? Was there some hidden cost for all this power?

Taking a deep breath to steady himself, he asked hesitantly, "System?" But before he could complete his question, a gentle female voice responded in his mind, accompanied by a new screen appearing before his eyes: [Yes, host.]

Kailen froze for a moment, unaccustomed to hearing a voice in his head, as though it was reaching into the depths of his being without permission. Was this real, or just an illusion? He tried to calm himself, gathering his courage to face this strange experience. His eyes shone with endless questions as he took a deep breath and continued, "Who are you? And how did you become connected to my soul?"

The response was calm yet cryptic: [To answer your first question, I am a system linked to the host, designed to help you become the strongest—whether in your current world or in all other realms. As for your second question, your current level does not entitle you to know the answer.]

Kailen was taken aback by this reply, yet he felt a faint sting at the implication that he "did not deserve" to know more. Don't I have the right to understand what's happening to me? he muttered to himself in barely a whisper, but the system showed no response. Kailen had to accept that he wouldn't get a satisfactory answer for now and would have to live with the mystery.

It was a bittersweet moment—a mix of joy and sadness. Joy for the new heights of power that lay before him, yet sadness for the ignorance weighing on his heart. Why had this system chosen him? Was there a deeper purpose? He tried to calm himself and focus on what lay directly ahead. The pressing question now was: how could he grow stronger?

He sat on the ground, leaning his back against a nearby tree trunk, then asked quietly, "How will you help me achieve that?"

The system answered in an instructive tone: [You have two primary ways to grow stronger. First: The Experience Points system. When you accumulate enough experience points, you can level up. A "+" symbol will appear above your level or any skill that can be upgraded. The process of gaining these points is simple. First, you can gain them by slaying creatures, such as humans, monsters, elves, and other races. The amount of experience points varies based on the creature's level. For example, when you defeated the Dusk Fury Wolf earlier, you earned 5,000 experience points because it was at level 8. The stronger the creature, the more points you gain.]

Kailen felt a twinge of discomfort. The idea of gaining power by killing creatures didn't sit well with him. Was he to become a killer just to grow stronger? Was this really the only path? Yet, he couldn't deny a feeling of satisfaction with his recent decision to face the wolf—it had been a successful step. Still, this was not the path he had envisioned for achieving power.

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

The system continued: [Second: You can earn experience points by completing the tasks assigned to you. The rewards correspond to the task's difficulty, so no need for a detailed explanation now. Third: You can gain experience points by learning new skills and techniques. The points awarded depend on the strength or historical significance of the technique. There are also many other ways that you will discover over time.]

Kailen began to ponder these varied ways of collecting experience points. Perhaps it wasn't all about killing… he could focus on tasks and learning new skills. The system wasn't just a tool for aiding him; it was pushing him to grow in ways he hadn't imagined.

While considering his next steps, he remembered the term "store" that had appeared in his status. He decided to ask the system about it. Before he could find the right words, the system responded in a calm, confident voice: [Host, what you saw were your store points, a feature in the system that lets you purchase various items when you have enough points. The methods for earning these points are similar to the experience system. The store contains several sections. If you wish to see them, simply say "store."]

Kailen took a deep breath, as if trying to comprehend that everything he needed to fulfill his dreams might be within his reach. Could it really be this simple? With a mix of fear and excitement, he whispered softly, "Store!"

A window appeared before him, displaying the different sections of the store:

[1- Weapons and Armor Section: Unique weapons such as swords and spears, and armor with defensive abilities.]

[2- Skills and Techniques Section: Selling combat skills and techniques based on magical energy.]

[3- Potions and Magical Items Section: Healing potions, boosters, and rare magical items.]

[4- Tools and Equipment Section: Tools for exploring worlds and items for upgrading weapons.]

Kailen was astonished by this feature and sensed it would be crucial for him. It allowed him to buy what he needed during his adventures in the forest or other dangerous places. Could he truly rely on this system? Or would he end up indebted to it in ways he didn't yet understand?

Overcome by excitement, he asked, "If this is only the beginning, what more could I gain after unlocking all these sections? Does this mean I'll become unbeatable?" Kailen let out a loud laugh that sounded like madness to anyone who might have heard. But he quickly regained his composure, feeling energy course through his body as though he stood on the threshold of a new world.

At that moment, it occurred to him to ask the system if there was anything else yet to be discovered, so he asked with growing enthusiasm, "System, are there other sections I haven't learned about yet?"

The system responded calmly: [Yes, host. There is one remaining section: the "Wheel of Fortune," a feature that grants you random rewards. You might have a chance to obtain rare items or powerful tools to assist you on your journey. Would you like to spin it now? You have one free attempt.]

Kailen hesitated for a moment. What if there were consequences? What if it wasn't purely luck? But he felt a pulse of curiosity—a curiosity to know if fortune would favor him. He finally decided and whispered, almost fearing the answer, "Yes, use my free attempt!"

A massive wheel appeared before him, gleaming in red and black, divided into four sections, showing the reward probabilities:

1.Small Rewards (50%):

◦ A few experience points, basic materials, or simple potions.

2.Medium Rewards (30%):

◦ Healing potions, temporary boosts, or support tools.

3.Large Rewards (15%):

◦ Rare potions, powerful skills, or a significant amount of experience points.

4.Grand Prizes (5%):

◦ Very rare items, such as legendary weapons, ancient techniques, or potent abilities.

With enthusiasm filling his voice, Kailen said, "Start the spin!"

[Ding: Wheel activated…]

His heart began to race with each turn of the wheel. Kailen felt as if the air around him had frozen, and nothing else mattered. All he cared about was the moment when the wheel would stop.

The wheel spun at a dazzling speed, the colors and numbers flashing as the sound of its spinning grew louder. Every second felt like an eternity, with tension mounting as it slowed. He watched each movement intently, his eyes glued to the wheel as it gradually came to a crawl.

[Ding: Congratulations, you have obtained the ability "World and Dimensional Travel," an extraordinary power allowing you to journey across worlds.]
