Chapter 2: Information panel

"Haahhhh.. this really happened and this is really the worst case" I calmed my mind for a moment and tried to rationalize my current thoughts.

"Let's take the positive side…." Ivo tried to think through all the reasons in his head but he finally gave up. "Does that really exist?"

Right now he was in game destiny. a world with a concept of magical setting where there are various people with great abilities that only exist in novels.

"Of all the places why should I start from the town of Ernest?" Ivo sighed softly after surveying his surroundings.

'Destiny' gives freedom in starting the game. Usually when new players enter the game, they can choose where they will start. But that was only limited to the kingdom territory.

"It would be better if I start from the royal capital. At least I can safely survive the first half of the 'destiny' game."

There was an important reminder for newbies in the online forums discussing 'Destiny'. Never start from the town of Ernest.

The reason is very simple, because it is impossible for novice players to pass without knowing the fundamental point of 'destiny'.

Please note that 'destiny' is completely different from other games. If the goal of a normal game is to please the players then 'Destiny' is not like that.

Humans play games as a means to escape from the real world and seek their own pleasure in fantasy worlds that suit them. There may be some who play games not for fun but to support themselves or even compete with each other and so on but their roots have not changed. Humans play games because it's fun.

So. No matter how good the game is, it will not be played if the game is not fun. After all who wants to play a game that forces players to start over every time they die. What is the point of players playing games when all the effort they have put in will ultimately be wasted with just one small mistake.

"Even I was hesitant to start from the city of Ernest even though I have played for 15 years. But what has happened has happened." Ivo shook his head and could only accept the reality that was in front of him.

His experience playing 'destiny' for 15 years in the real world made him understand one thing.

Never expect something to go on your way. Everything you do must have a consequence.

Ivo studied his body through the pool of water that was around the alley where he woke up.

His current appearance is not much different from his appearance when he was 17 years old. There were no defects on the body and it even felt like his current body was better than his previous body. Besides that, Ivo can feel that in his body right now there is 'mana' which is the source of magic.

His face is quite normal for his age except for his hair which is quite long. It was a face that always appeared when he played 'destiny' because 'destiny' didn't have the option to create a character. So one could only use their real face. "It seems that the features of the game have not changed. "

When Ivo was checking his face, suddenly a line of virtual Blu-ray text appeared in front of him.

[synchronization with the main body has started. please wait a moment]

"Information panels!!!" Ivo exclaimed happily.

[0…10%…25%…43%…]

Ivo waited while staring at the screen in front of him. the figure shows the sync value has been climbing rapidly and finally reached 100%.

[sync has been completed. The information panel is now usable]

"open the information panel."

Transparent blue curtains of light appeared in the line of sight and gave off a sci-fi feel even though the setting in this world was a magic theme. The panels that appear do not affect the line of sight.

The 'destiny' information panel appeared in front of him. The function is still the same as before. Destiny's power system doesn't use levels like other games. To become stronger requires effort, experience, and knowledge to get the desired skills.

When Ivo will close the information panel. another panel appeared before him.

[It was detected that before you transmigrated into this world, you had passed through

various problems while playing 'destiny']

[Currently a special qualification will be opened to pay for all the hardships you have experienced and will be closed after the reward is done]

[first qualification has been fulfilled (experiencing destiny for more than 10 years in the real world). Rewards will be given]

[choose one skill you want]

"Hmm what is this? Special qualification?" A look of confusion appeared on his face.

Ivo took another look at the panel.

The panel asks to select the skill he wants. This feature is clearly not in the Destiny game.

To get something like a skill usually requires enough effort and knowledge. In addition, the use of skills is not as easy as just saying the name. Players need to learn to control and release skills manually. This is one of the features that ranks third on game forums as the most annoying feature in destiny and number one in case of death for players.

'I can choose one skill I want?.' Ivo showed an interested face.

"Then I want world devourer" Ivo said what he remembered from his past memories when playing 'destiny'.

"Yeah, it's impossible to..."

Ivo stopped and gasped when he saw the panel in front of him. A feeling of chills emerged from his body at the sentence that appeared on his panel

[world devourer will be selected as your skill]

[Warning!!! This skill cannot be activated because the host's race and body are not compatible with the skill. do you still want to continue?]

[Yes/No]

"Information panels can actually provide this skill?" Ivo quietly said and still couldn't hide his surprise. he immediately pressed the no button and the panel asking to select a skill appeared again.

He frowned and looked carefully at the panel in front of him. "Qualification huh…This isn't a feature in the game. But if this could really give me the skills I wanted it would save me a lot of trouble especially surviving the first half of 'Destiny'. "

10 years in real world which is equivalent to over 86,000 hours in real worlds. Which means one needs to at least spend more than 16 hours every day just to play destiny.

There's no way anyone would have accomplished this, when 'Destiny' was already a dead game in just 5 years.

Ivo thought about it for a while but soon gave up. "This is really a very difficult choice."

based on his previous experiments, he could indeed get any skill he wanted but there was a clear limit.

Right now he was just an ordinary human with very low status and ability. So he had to consider it carefully.

In theory there are more than 1000 skills that he can choose from and can be used with his current state. "I can't choose something that can be obtained with easily or with hard work. Something special and exclusive that can help me. "

There is only one choice and it must be chosen carefully. Ivo thinking it for a while and chose one. "Heart of fearlessness"

[Heart of fearlessness will be chosen as your skill are you sure]

[warning!!! This skill is included in the dangerous category. Would you like to continue?]

[Yes No]

Ivo confidently pressed the word 'yes' on the panel. Suddenly a pain appeared right in his heart. His heart felt like it was being stabbed by hundreds of needles stabbing slowly.

'it hurts, it really hurts. aaahhhh….' He never thought the pain would suddenly come. This pain instantly shocked his brain

Under the baptism of pain, my consciousness faded away. my body lost its strength and fell to the ground.

***

"hah…hah… what happened? Where am I?"

Ivo woke up and stared at the ceiling that seemed foreign to him. Outside the clear sky had been replaced by the darkness of the night, but people were still crowding the streets.

"Looking around, it seems that when I fainted someone transported me here." Ivo held his head trying to calm himself down. His body was drenched in sweat. Surprisingly, his emotions inside him were very calm without the slightest ripple.

The door in this room opened and someone entered, seeing his face I immediately recognized him. he was the one who woke me up when I was first transported to this world.

"You don't need to panic, this is my room, I found you asleep when i am going back and brought you here because it was getting dark."

The person came in carrying some sandwiches and put the food on the table.

I saw that person, there's no way I don't know him. While at the academy the players will often meet him and maybe some even try to find storylines related to this person. But I know that he is not that simple. Especially for those who have achieved very far progress in 'Destiny'

'No wonder I feel so familiar with him. He…'

"oh yeah by the way I haven't introduced myself" he held out his hand to me and said in a warm tone.

'walking calamity, Raven Astrea'

"Raven Astrea" Ivo stretched out his hand and responded to the greeting.

'A regressor with the nickname of 'walking calamity'.'
