System

As Ray lost himself in thought, a sudden idea struck him, and he jokingly said while face-palming his head, "Wouldn't it be nice if I had a golden finger system that could help me survive in this world... or something? Just kidding."

He couldn't help but recall the fantasy novels he had read in his past life, where the main character who transmigrated or reincarnated always had a system to assist them on their journey.

While his thoughts are drifting apart, he was suddenly jolted by a robotic but fluent voice saying, "System initializing.. in 3.. 2.. 1.. "

Ray's eyes widened in shock as he fell to the ground, only to realize that a hologram interface had appeared in front of him.

He couldn't believe his luck — it seemed like his wish had been granted!

Excitement and anticipation warred within him as he tentatively reached out to interact with the hologram, wondering what sort of system he had stumbled upon.

[ Earth's Greatest Legacy System ]

: This system encompasses a wealth of skills, guides, and experiences from the most accomplished individuals in Earth's history. You can interact with the system using your mind.

[ Status ]

[ Spin ]

[ Inspect ]

"M-most accomplished individuals in Earth's history?!" Ray exclaimed in shock but quickly regained his composure, fearing someone might hear him.

'Isn't just basically saying I could receive help from the most talented people in Earth's history, like the genius 'Albert Einstein' or one of the greatest swordsmen to ever exist, 'Miyamoto Musashi'?! Holy f*ck!' Ray's mind raced with excitement and wonder.

He couldn't believe what he was seeing. The possibilities were endless, and the potential for growth and learning was incredible.

Ray took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

'I need to focus' he thought to himself.

'This system could be the key to my survival in this new world.'

[ Yes, Host ]

Ray hears again the robotic fluent voice. It seems that the system can really understand what he was thinking because his question was answered.

Ray knew he had to calm down, but he was still feeling the shock.

After a few minutes, he finally settled down and sat on his bed before interacting with the system.

'S-system, can you explain the function of status, spin, and inspect?' Ray's voice sounded out in his mind, it was obvious that Ray was filled with excitement and curiosity.

The system responded immediately,

[ Status is a function of the system that allows you to see your current attributes and majika that you possessed. It also displays your current mage rank, and every time you upgrade your mage rank, you will receive attribute points. You can use these points to upgrade your attributes. ]

[ In addition to displaying your current mage rank and attributes, the Status function also shows the amount of magic stones you have acquired, as well as the number of magic stones needed to upgrade to the next mage rank. It also shows your current level of mastery in each skill, allowing you to track your progress in each area of expertise. ]

[ The next function is Spin, which allows you to obtain characters from Earth. The characters that you can obtain through the Spin function are individuals who have achieved greatness and stood at the apex of their respective fields throughout Earth's history. These characters possess invaluable skills, knowledge, and experiences that can aid you on your journey to becoming a powerful mage. ]

[ You can only spin a character once every three months. ]

[ The last function is Inspect, which allows you to examine the Majika of others, even if their rank is much higher than yours unless they have an artifact that can block spying skills. You can only use this function twice a day. ]

As the system explained the functions, Ray's smile grew bigger and bigger, almost reaching his ears.

'Sh*t, how lucky am I to obtain this kind of help?' Ray's heart is beating like crazy because of the excitement.

After calming down, Ray became skeptical and knew that there had to be a catch. There was no way that the system would help him for free.

'System, what is the catch of having you?' Ray asked.

[ The system will deduct 30% of your profits every time you earn a magic stone. This deduction is a form of payment for the system's assistance and guidance in the new world. ]

In the planet Vertica, magic stone is the primary form of currency used by its inhabitants.

Magic stones can be used to purchase various items, including food, equipment, and other necessities.

These stones can be obtained by defeating monsters, and there are different ranks of magic stones available.

The higher the rank of the magic stone, the more valuable it is, and the more useful items it can be traded for.

Magic stones are not only a form of currency on the planet Vertica but are also crucial for mages to advance in their ranks.

The absorption of magic stones is necessary for a mage to upgrade their rank, with higher ranks requiring the absorption of more powerful magic stones.

As such, magic stones hold significant value in the world of Vertica, serving as both a means of survival and a tool for progression.

Ray's smile didn't disappear because he knew that while it may seem like a steep cost, he understands that having access to the system's functions will greatly benefit him on his journey.

He knew that the help he will receive from the system will be invaluable and worth the deduction of 30% of his profits every time he earns a magic stone.

In fact, he felt that 30% suddenly seemed like a small amount compared to the potential benefits he could gain from the system.

With renewed determination, Ray thanked the system and promised to make the most of its functions.

'I should try the status function first. System, activate status,' Ray said excitedly in his mind.

As he uttered those words, a holographic screen appeared in front of him, displaying various information about his current status.

He could see his majika level, skills, and attributes, as well as his current mage rank.

'Dang, it feels like I'm an RPG character', Ray exclaimed, as memories of the games he played on Earth flooded his mind.

The feeling of being immersed in a virtual world was all too familiar, but this time it was different.

He was living the experience firsthand, not just watching it on a screen.

As Ray looked at his attributes, he couldn't help but ask, 'System, do you know what the average attributes are for a teenager like me?'

[ Host, the average attribute for a teenager like you is 10 in every aspect ], the system replied.

[ However, keep in mind that this is just a generalization and doesn't necessarily apply to every individual. Your own attributes may vary depending on factors such as genetics, lifestyle, and training. ]

'It seems that all of my attributes are slightly below the average except for my intelligence.'

Ray was not disheartened by the fact that his attributes were slightly below average, as he knew that once he obtained his majika and raised his mage rank, his attributes would also grow.

He understood that the system was a great help to him, and he felt grateful for it. With the system's functions, it was not impossible to become a powerful person.

Ray felt motivated to work hard and improve his abilities in order to succeed on his journey.

'I'm done seeing my current status and now know which attribute I need to improve.'

'I should try the next function.'

'System, can I spin for a character now?' Ray asked excitedly.

He had been eagerly waiting to try out the Spin function ever since he learned about it.

Ray wondered what kind of character he would get and what kind of skills or knowledge he could gain from them.

His heart was pounding with anticipation as he waited for the system's response.
