Ch-3-The System (Frist-ish Edit)

After finishing my lackluster meal, I opened up the system for the first time by bringing up the startup process. 

[Initial boot process started]

[System Hardware Found: Grade: Origin Level]

[Installation Complete]

[Welcome to the Survival System]

The Installation progressed rapidly up to the last 99%, where it stopped for up to four minutes before finishing. Then I opened the system, just to see the log flash far too brightly for me to see anything else. So, I opened the log and was instantly flooded with messages.

{Character creation complete: deploying host into world}

{00:13:20: Deployment override: Entity Elinaria has descended and forced deployed host near the southwestern coast of the Redcape sea}

{00:13:99: Deployment Interrupt: Host has crashed into a sea-going vessel: no damage sustained due to divine energy shield}

{00:14:32: Extreme Danger Warning: Storm caused by the Descent of the entity Elinaria is filled with highly destructive energy: no damage sustained due to divine energy shield}

{00:47:60: Danger Warning: Vessel has crashed due to the storm: no damage sustained due to divine energy shield}

{04:32:76: Information: Host has washed ashore}

{05:53:46: Information: Storm has ended, lingering destructive energy has infused into the bodies of all beings that have survived the storm: Negated do to [???].}

{06:34:92: Extreme Danger Warning: Cultivator over two major realms above you has targeted you with a highly destructive curse/attack spell : [???] has activated and called for heavenly judgment on the hostile cultivator: world heavenly will has interrupted the judgment: worlds heavenly will has been superseded: heavenly judgment has destroyed the cultivator}

{06:34:93: Information: Due to unforeseen circumstances, you have been given temporary access to the loot subsystem and a special inventory space for all things pertaining to the crashed ship.}

{22:13:64: System Installation Initiated.}

After I became familiar with it, I closed the log. The log mostly contained all the information about what happened before I woke up, as well as what happened to the captain and his crew. This leaves me with the questions of what the loot that I can claim is and why Elinaria's descent caused a storm. Another is the unknown thing in brackets that the System can not figure out or is specifically blocking from me.

Figuring that at least one of the questions can be answered in the morning, I move on to the other parts of the System. The first thing that appears is the stat screen, along with a few messages about some changes that have been made since the last time I saw it.

{ Due to you having chosen some traits that overlap and enhance each other, they have been combined into one new trait [Body Blessed by Virgo]. }

{ Due to a few specifics of your race enhanced by your constitution, spiritual root, and other choices during character creation, they will now be displayed as traits. }

Blessing's:

[???]

The First thing that caught my eye was the combined trait [Body Blessed by Virgo], which was made from a few cheap traits that I grabbed to make personal hygiene easier and my body's natural processes more efficient. While focusing on the trait, some information appeared in my mind as if it was always there. This information included a more detailed explanation of what the trait did, including the fact that all the combined traits had increased in power. The reason that the stat window did not include the part about enhancing the body's natural processes is that the enhance meant was not significant enough to mention. This made me aware that my traits might have more effects than I initially understood. Next, I focused on each of my traits to give me the information that was not displayed.

Afterward, I understood that even the traits from my second wish also had hidden information. This included the fact that while the max stats for each person might be ten, the difference is that this is the max of the person, not the max for a mortal. This max is labeled by the word limit as it is the absolute limit that a person can possibly have. While the evolving bloodline trait helps to nearly remove the bloodline bottlenecks. The only reason why this effect was not mentioned was that, for some reason, I did not have very many bloodline bottlesecks anyway. The last thing that I checked was the other strange thing that caught my eye, my blessing. When focusing on the question marks I did not get any information at all.

With nothing else to check on the stat screen I looked at the tabs on the side only to see three of the tabs lit up. The first tab is the one I am currently on called status. The second is a tab called skills and the third is tech.

When I check the skill tab, I am presented with two lists of skills. One list is called survival and includes skills such as foraging, tracking, and butchering, while the other is called general and contains all the other skills that I have knowledge of.

Opening the last tab, I am presented with a tech tree that is almost completely grayed out and unreadable, except for a single one at the start. This blueprint was the picture of a campfire and a fire starter. Looking at the top right of the tab, there was a count of blueprint points, which was sitting at three. Using one of them, I unlocked the campfire. Almost instantly, multiple methods of making a campfire and fire starter were transmitted to my head. At the same time, a new tab called Crafting lit up. After I unlocked the campfire blueprint, three new ones were unlocked. The first was called primitive tools, the second one was called primitive melee weapons, and the third was called primitive ranged weapons. Now using the last two points I unlocked the primitive tools and ranged weapons.

After the information entered my head, I changed to the crafting tab. There, I found a fire starter that required a couple of pieces of scrap wood, which I had, so I focused on it. That was when the pieces of wood disappeared, and a progress bar appeared beneath the picture for the starter. After ten seconds, the crafting finished, and a small sound played to signal its completion. The starter then appeared in front of me, ready to use and looking just like the picture.

This one item took most of the supplies that I was willing to spend at the moment. Placing the fire starter off to the side of my temporary shelter, I lay down in the hammock, ready to sleep. Tomorrow, I will go out to get more supplies and see what the loot subsystem and temporary inventory are like.
