"We got two ideas for this session, they're from robinius and Kaarel. Thank you." The masked man said and bowed.
"Now, to be fair, let the wheel decide once again. System, open the wheel that was used before and input the names of those who shared their ideas." The masked man ordered.
"Command accepted. Opening...Modifying... Done." The System replied.
The wheel stopped on the nickname Kaarel.
"Then, according to Kaarel's idea, I'm going to give our soldier a flintlock, but because Kaarel said 'You could give him a flintlock pistol in the future but not yet', I will give a requirement to open the mystery box." The masked man said.
"Well then, let's start!" The masked man said and turned on the monitor.

"Hey, what is this thing?" I asked the Mindie-Talkie.
"It's called The System. For further explanation, Give_Knowledge_Book: Understanding The System." The thing said.

Even though the explanation is really vague, knowledge of The System comes to my mind. I know what is magic, mana, and all the other things. I wonder how the thing did it? Using magic?
Curious because of the ???? in my regens, I placed my finger at the ????.
Safe Zone: Gives invulnerability and increases health and mana regen by ????/sec
'So this is the reason my bleeding thigh was healed.' I thought to myself.
"Hey, why is my name N/A?" I asked the Mindie-Talkie.
"You didn't hav- no, you DID have it, but not anymore." The thing replied.
"Can I change it?" I asked the thing.
"Nay, but I can." It said.
"Then change it," I said.
"Later, there is a more important thing to do now." It said.
"And what is that thing?" I asked it.
"I placed the knowledge on you. It is skills, spells, your mystery box, and one more thing I'm going to give you later." It said.
"I will give you some starter spell and skill. Skill_Give: Identify & Observe." As it said the last line, a notification appeared.
ObserveEnhances your sight and allow you to notice more detail
IdentifyAllows the user to see detailed information of others
After the notification came, my sight enhanced, allowing me to see things more clearly and more detailed. Through this, I see that The System is really useful, except
'There are too many blue screens...' There's just too many of them.
I focused all of my attention and tried to use the new spell I obtained, Identify on the Mindie-Talkie.
Warning! Unknown entity detected, please leave this place for your safety.
'...So this thing is unknown even to The System? Well, I can't run away from him even if I want, can I? And for red screen, yay!'
"Ah, don't try to use that spell to me, try using it on the mystery box and the mask that I gave you for now. Though, I must admit that I'm surprised at you being able to cast spells chantless at first try." The Mindie-Talkie said.
'How the heck did he notice me casting it?' I asked myself but knowing that I wouldn't find the answer, I just do what he told me to do, identifying the mask and mysterious box by doing the same process as the one I did to the Mindie-Talkie.
Mystery Box: Contains a random thing. Requirements: User level above ten. Modified by: ???. Gas Mask of Unknown: Grants user immunity to poison gasses and mind magic, enhance user's eyes and increase poison resistance by 60% at the cost of reducing user's charisma to 1. Defense: 10 (Can be increased). Cannot be unequipped.
'Isn't this mask a cheat item?' I thought while reading the gas mask's description.
"The mask is good, isn't it? Try using it." The Mindie-Talkie said.
I hesitated at the risk of being chained to this mask and reducing my charisma to 1.
'Fuck it. Survival is number one priority.' I equipped the mask.
I sighed after equipping it.
'There's no turning back, let's face the future.' I thought to myself.
"Good, now, let's proceed to the next challenge, shall we?" The Mindie-Talkie said.
"Alright, bring me those Goblins," I said with a grin on my unseeable face.
"Well then, Barrier: Off." As the thing said that, the sound of the forest can be heard again. My ghant is gone like before, and in my hand, there is a mace.
I turned around and, with the newly obtained skills and the help of the mask, I could see the 10 Goblins hiding behind the bushes.
"Bring it on!" I said while dashing forward at them, holding my mace over my shoulder.
----------------------------------------
"Let's end that there." The masked man said while turning off the monitor.
"Now, I will give information of The System to you guys." The masked man said.
"To interact with The System, you need to touch it. The System of a user cannot be seen by another user. The difference between spell and skill is that spell needed chants and interacts with mana, while skills affect the user body without interacting with mana. Magic is part of spells that use elements, an example of spells that are not magic: Body Strengthening and Increase Accuracy. The reason that I am surprised seeing him being able to do chantless spell is that it is the third tier of chanting, the first being chanted and second being mind chant. Though I think the knowledge of chantless cast. I gave him is the reason." The masked man explained.
"And for the question: What would be the name I give him?" The masked man said.
"Goodbye then." The masked man said and left the room.
They're truly interesting. Let's see how this ends. I might use that System later...
