'What do i do now..?'
The sun had set. Laiz was seated on a bench as his thoughts was forming plans on what to do after getting the inheritance Oswald left for him.
'I should probably start with the system'
Laiz didn't forget what Oswald said to him before dying, waking up and dying. He had said that the system will explain what will happen next, so he tried to access the system by saying the first thing that comes to mind
"Menu!"
'...'
Laiz was left with silence.
"Stats!"
'...'
Laiz tried once more, but was again left with silence
Just as Laiz was about to walk up to the corpse of Oswald and give him a kick, he notices something. At the left bottom corner of his sight was a motion of words.
'Loading..?'
Laiz froze for a second, before grinning stupidly.
'Looks like the system needs a bit of time.. I can wait'
This was something Laiz wished to have for years, naturally waiting a few minutes made no difference. So Laiz sat there quitely, waiting.
A few minutes pass by but Laiz just sat there motionless. At thirthy minutes, the word changes from 'Loading...' to 'Loading completed!'. The timing was just right as Laiz's intinct to punch Oswald was reaching new bounds.
Seeing no indication on what to do next Laiz once again tries to access the system verbally.
"Menu!"
Fortunately, a familiar panel pops up after Laiz's command.
At the top the panel shows his name, level and title along with six words lined up at the bottom: Stats, Skills, Abilities, Inventory, Settings and Help. This wasn't suprising to Laiz as it was similar to what he has read.
Laiz couldn't wipe his stupid smile off his face. He exitedly chooses to explore the system. He starts with opening his stats.
STATS
Str: 11
Agi: 13
Dex: 16
Int: 25
Wis: 18
Laiz thought it was simple like the usual, but decided to check what it all meant anyway. After tapping on each, the panel now shows:
STATS
Str - Strength, determines the amount of force one is able to exert.
Agi - Agility, determines how fast one is able to move, think and understand quickly.
Dex - Dexterity, determines how fluid the body reacts to the mind and increases fluidity of thoughts.
If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Int - Intelligence, determines the speed of of which one can access information from the brain.
Wis - Wisdom, determines the mind's ability to manage and connect information.
Although Laiz didn't have a reference to compare his stats, everything was just as he expected it to be so he moved on to skills.
SKILLS
-
-
-
'..I think i need to perform the skills for it to appear in this panel'
When Laiz saw nothing beneath skills he thought that all his skills hasn't been registered yet. To test this he walked up to a tree and punched it with the image of professional boxers punching in mind. After doing this imitation a couple of times he heard a ding.
Laiz stopped and checked his skills, ancipating what the ding meant.
SKILLS
Boxing - lvl 1: 25.7%
- Str, Agi and Dex is increased by two points each level.
Just as Laiz thought, it was a new skill! He clicked on the skill, this in turn gave a description of the skill.
Boxing - The ability to fight with fists using the whole body.
Seeing this, Laiz walks to the same tree and punches again. This time he felt a bit more power course his body, he felt his action was faster and his position or stance wasn't as awkward as before.
With his theory confirmed and experiencing the benefits of having his skills listed in the panel, he moved on to Abilities with a smile on his face.
Unexpectedly Laiz sees one ability.
ABILITIES
Book of Knowledge - Grants the ability to open and view the content of Oswald's book.
Laiz's thoughts was bought back to the last gift Oswald gave him: The book in his head.
'..I see, i don't know what to expect from this book but coming from Oswald it should be something amazing!'
Laiz squashes his exitement on opening the book down and instead looks at the next category, the Inventory.
When Laiz opened the Inventory he saw approximately a hundred squares. Laiz had a pretty good idea on what these boxes could indicate. So he grabs a random stick in the ground and pushes it to one of the squares. The result showed Laiz's empty hands. One of the square now has an image showing the exact stick Laiz had. He sticks his hand to in the square before feeling the stick. Laiz grabs it out and, there in his was the same stick.
'Neat!'
Moving on, the Option panel allowed Laiz to change the volume and brightness of his senses, along with the option to put on background music. Laiz could see some benefit in this, especially the BGM part. Laiz chooses to explore this on a later date and moves on to the last one.
"Help"
On the Help Panel Laiz could see many question involving the sytem. Laiz scanned through the questions. He read through a few answers to the question to be safe before finally closing the panel.
'I've got a better understanding on this system so far, as for what to do now.. Oswald said the syst-'
"Ding!"
Before he could finish his thought, Laiz once again hears a ding. Following the ding was a new panel
The Sensory System has sensed the host's world lacking in energies for development. Host is required to choose a world on the list below:
- Naruto - Rwby
- One Piece - Seven Deadly Sins
- Fairy tail - The Devil is a Part-Timer
- Tokyo ghoul - Bleach
When Laiz so this panel, his eyes somehow turned to stars, a phenomenon where characters are able to re-shape their eyes due to large amounts of emotion, an example? The disappearance of eyes due to a large amount of anger and grief.
Laiz's expression went from exitement to EXITEMENT. If anyone were to decribe his current expression they would wisely say 'This one has reached the summit of pleasure and climax'
Before Laiz went to reading he was addicted to Anime so naturally he knew what choosing one meant. He was full of anticipation when he saw this panel. But at the same time he was torn on which to choose. There was just too many benefits in choosing any single one on the panel and besides that he also gets to interact with the characters of the anime he chooses, who hasn't dreamed of punching Sasuke directly in the face before following with a kick?
After a few minutes in tearing himself apart from comparing the benefits of each options, Laiz decision was was set firm on one Anime. But before he acted on said decision, his face hardened before releasing a sad smile. He had one final thing he had to do before leaving.
Laiz took out his phone and started composing a message. The message indicated that he had found something he wanted to do before adding a statement saying that he will be fine after that was some small talk. Anyone could tell that whoever Laiz is sending this message to, he considered them important. Laiz ends the message with 'Stay healthy Mom, Dad'
At this point tears were threathening to spill from Laiz's eyes. He remembered many points in his life where thoughts of suicide was what he thought of each day. He thought of overdosing himself, shooting himself and stabbing himself many times. The only thing that stopped him from doing so was his responsibility to take care of his parents. He wanted repay his parent's kindness in raising him and choosing to support him when he really needed it. He loved them.
After sending this message, Laiz opens his bank account and unhesitantly transfers every single cent of money he had to his parents, he did not need them after all.
With that out of his chest, he opened the panel again to confirm his decision to transport to...
The Devil is a Part-Timer.
