0.2 - Waiting Game

Sylvain stretched as he completed his home set up, he chose the opposite color variation from the homes. A neutral warm summer tone, greens, yellows, browns and whites.

His clothes just were still white but had a tank top, shorts, underwear, and two accessories which were a ring and earring. The outside wear had a turtleneck sweater, sweats and a watch.

He chose a battle axe, a long sword and gun for weapons. Obsidian ×10, Crystal's ×10, Long horns ×10, Bear hide ×10, and Diamond ×10 for materials. The rest was saved. He chose a flexible yet strong amour set.

He was very proud of himself since he will be staying here for quite some time anyways, may as well make this a full on home.

The house was in a cottage style, but with the dark streampunk theme. A small kitchen, a dining area connected to the living room are with a fireplace, a guest bathroom and a master bedroom with a ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet. Complete with a washer and dryer.

The entrance had a small closet for outdoor stuff, the is also a mudroom at the kitchen, a small deck outside and a 6.2 achre land. The backyard having 3.1 of it, and the front having a 1.5 of it.

"And this is all free with no taxes!" He teared up in happiness. While he was doing that, he got himself familiar to the systematic framework of the Association.

Vivi confirmed or responded to whatever Sylvain didn't understand.

"Main." He stated.

"Oh, the skills can expand." Sylvain noticed. 'Just like how if you gain a double of the skill, it stars up. You have work on the skill to level up. Right now, my skills are the poorest of poor.' He thought.

""There is training facilities so you can train for a set duration. Less then 20 years, you reach 2-10 levels. More than 20 years, you reach up 40 levels. More than 60 years, you reach 70 levels and so forth.""

"Then I'll just do 5 years each."

""That'll be 3 levels higher, so 4 levels each.""

Sylvain nodded, "Where is the facility?"

""Exactly 10 minutes away!"" Vivi happily stated, ""However, it is quite late host. You should get some rest as the moment you step into the facility, you will be training 5 years straight.""

Sylvain looked out of the window, it was indeed dark out, midnight even. He finally yawned tiredly, he decided to take a quick shower before hitting straight to bed. Passing right out from exhaustion.

-

He woke up at 10 in the morning, he realized he'd not eaten since morning yesterday. He got up, took a nice 30min bath before getting dressed, and went to the kitchen.

""Host doesn't need to eat, once you've completed your 3 training worlds and reach mediocre rank; you're body will become real."" Vivi suddenly stated behind him, Sylvain freaked out before looking back at her.

""Vivi is sorry, host! Vivi will announce her presence next time!"" Vivi apologized, though the robotic tone made it hard to believe.

"No, it's fine. I just forgot you were here." Sylvain mentioned as he calmed down.

""Oh, Vivi will still do so!"" She happily said.

"So where is the facility located at?" He asked.

""10 minutes on the left, near the shopping market. Shopping market is unavailable for novice hosts, so host has to use the system store for things. Food ingredients are within the shopping market, and other items not on the store."" She responded while explaining.

Sylvain nodded as he remembered where to go, he got outside and began to walk to the training facility. "When will I gain the first world?"

""Once you reach level 2 on 2 skills, the executive watching you will assign a the first world. It's just so Host can used to the current situation, but since host is doing 5 years on each skill, that'll be 20 years total. but it will be worth it as once you enter, you'll be better than the people inside. Other than the primary leads."" Vivi answered easily. ""Did host see the rules?""

"Mhm." Sylvain nodded.

'The resentment section had similar rules to the other sections; Out-of-Character Permitted, follow system missons, Listen to working Systems and Hosts, Killing primary characters prohibited, Storyline Modifications Permitted, and enjoy the experience.' He thought, 'Easy to follow really.'

'I assume working Systems and Hosts are the experts and executives.' He added to his previous thought.

He also saw the rebirth cycle choices, he'd prefer the A choice; Reincarnation. But he also wanted the Incarnation as well.

As he was lost in thought, he made it to a silver gateway. "Is this it?"

""Yup, this is the training facility. Once you enter, choice the years on the skills and it will begin.""

Sylvain nodded, entering the gateway, he was brought to a pure white room. He then remembered what Annabeth said.

// "In the past, hosts would've been spawned into a pure white space." //

A blue screen than appeared showing his skills with a year number beside them.

{Training Facility}

Water Purification[1] <00 > Years

Weapon Mastery[1] <00 > Years

Situational Awareness[1] <00 > Years

≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡≡

He than changed the blank years to 5 years.

{Conforming Training}

>Do you wish to spend [20] years?<

"Yes."

{Comformation Training}

>You have selected 20 years of training in 4 skills<

>You will now begin 5 years in Water Purification<

The white space changed greatly into a laboratory, a scientist stood in front of him.

"Hello newbie, We will begin understanding how water purification works and than how to create a baisc system to purify different waters." The scientist grinned.

-

Sylvain spent 20 year within the training facility, learning the basics of each skill. Once he finished, the place changed back to the pure white space and the silver gateway opened up. He tiredly walked out. 'Vivi was right, I spent the last 20 years of my undead life tirelessly training without a proper rest or break.'

He saw a familiar figure waiting outside the gateway, "Vivi?"

""Ah, welcome back host! Once host has rest up from the 20 year long training, the executive has assigned 2 worlds to us. Once rested, we will begin the first world immediately! Most of the worlds will not have a proper storyline due to them being discontinued or currently in creation."" Vivi greeted then explained.

"Currently in creation?"

""Yup, it just means the world doesn't know what else to put or the author is having a difficult time creating and thinking new ways."" She responded, ""Mainly development type systems do those, but since the host is apart of the Protagonist Savior System, that part is included.""

"Ah. I see." Sylvain felt his muscles hurt as walked home, but it felt nice at the same time.

Once he reached home, he spent 2 hrs in the bath just relaxing his muscles. He may have also had a 30 minute power nap. He got out and collapsed onto the bed.

"Main."

He took a look at the title as that was new.

{First Time Training}

>The host has experienced 20 years worth of training, be sure to work much harder later on!<

>You gain 10sp every year you training for 4 skills<

>You have gained 200sp<

"That actually awesome! and now im 43 years old..." Sylvain remembered as he removed the screens, his eyes shutting on him.

-

Morning came as he groggly woke up, 'Next time, I'll do it in a even manner...' He thought, getting dressed. He walked out of his room and noticed a gateway.

""Good morning host! The first world is ready to go. Time here will slow down for you, so even if your staying 30 years, it'll be 30 mins."" Vivi explained.

"So a minute for a year?"

""Correct. Each year would be a minute here.""

"Alrighty then."

""Ah, also, fun fact! Previous hosts had been dropped down into a black hole before entering the designated body. So this is the first year of trying a new method as the previous hosts complained about suddenly dropping down."" Vivi happily stated.

"Oh." He looked to the gate, it was a deep green color galaxy portal, though more on the doorway side.

""You just go through and you should enter the mind scape of the original body, than you close your eyes and Vivi do the rest!"" Vivi responded. ""One more thing, Host will hear the original name and host will look like the original. It was previously hosts hearing their own names and looking like themselves, that changed during the beginning of the year 2000 as it complicated things.""

Sylvain nodded, walking through the door. It was a bright light method before he entered a broken down greyscale universe like place.

He closed his eyes and everything went black.
