Chapter 9: System Shop!

Moving through the forest Draco who had nothing to do asked the System several questions he had in mind.

"System, what are the ways to gain stats without leveling up?"

[Well, Host, There Are Numerous Ways, For Example, You Can Acquire Techniques, Such As Meditation Techniques, Body Training Techniques, Fighting Techniques, Etc... All Of These Serve As Ways To Develop Skills, Physics, And Stats. Then There Are Rare Materials/Ingredients And Artifacts, Artifacts Generally Either Speed Up SP/XP Acquisition Or Straight Up Provide Boosts. As For Materials/Ingredients, They Can Be Directly Consumed/Used And They Can Also Speed Up SP/XP Acquisition Either Temporarily Or Permanently, It Is Also Possible To Raise Stats, Even Gaining Affinities And Immunities From Some Isn't Impossible, However, It Is Better To Mix Them And Create Potions/Pills/Panaceas/Artifacts Which Are Generally Way More Effective. Therefore, It Is Totally Common To Find Beings With A Lower Evolution Stage Or Rank Than You With Stats That By Far Eclipse Yours.]

[This Isn't All As There Are Other Ways To Gain Stats, Like Pacts Which Share Stats, Skills, And Other Things Between Each Party, Some Challenges And Inheritance Which Reward The Challenger With Baptisms That Raise Their Stats, Even Blessings From Some Certain Celestials Give Boosts To Stats, However, They Aren't Permanent Like Yours, In Fact, Most Stat Boosts Received By Beings Of This World Aside From Artifact Boosts Like Evolution Boosts Directly Multiply Previous Stats And That's It.]

[It Is Recommended That The Host Doesn't Get Over Himself And Think He Is The Chosen One Or Something Similar.]

"Oh..." Draco didn't know what to say.

Knowing that there were beings who hadn't even evolved yet with more stats than him was definitely humbling as he didn't know much about the world before.

"So... How can I get these... Techniques?" He asked.

[You Can Find Them In Dungeons In The Form Of Rewards, Ruins, Devour Beings Who Use Them, Get Them From Someone, Make Them Yourself(Not Recommended Without Enough Knowledge), Or Buy Them From The System Shop... They Are Not Too Rare.]

"I see. I guess those rare materials and ingredients can be found in similar places or somewhere like this forest and caves." He said.

[Affirmative Host.]

He contemplated deeply and then said: "Change of plans then, Instead of going as a Demonic Goblin, I'd Rather infiltrate as the goblin I've devoured, and then after carefully studying the Goblin Shaman I can proceed further." 

"[Shapeshifting]: Goblin." He commanded.

[Shapeshifting In Progress...]

Draco felt his bones and muscles vibrate as his skin color turned into a slightly dark green, his height was reduced for a bit.

[Shapeshifting Successful!]

"Cool! Alright, What should I do now... Oh Right! System Shop!"

"Oooh! So Many weapons! By the way, why are there no F-Rank Weapons?" Draco looked at the weapons in astonishment then he asked.

[Because It is Useless For The Host To Use Such Weapons!]

"Ooh! I see, Alright! I'll Buy the One-Handed Steel Sword!" He said with enthusiasm.

[Roger, Host!]

[One-Handed Sword Added To Inventory! 1250 Gold Deducted.]

"Inventory." Draco called.

An instant later a panel appeared in his field of vision with a single box that was occupied by a sword everything else was empty.

"Where is the newbie pack?" He asked almost sarcastically.

[No Newbie Pack For The Host.]

"Alright, Alright! Let's try using this sword." A second later he summoned the sword in his hand.

Holding it a bit he immediately felt familiar with it he guessed it must be the skill [Lesser Sword Proficiency] at work.

He swung it a little and was immediately drowned by the sound of system notifications.

[The Skill [Lesser Sword Proficiency] Gained +1 Level.]

[The Skill [Lesser Sword Proficiency] Gained +1 Level.]

"Wow, Wow! System what's this?" Draco was absolutely stunned as he asked, he never expected the skill to level up this fast.

[Relax, Host! This Is due To Your High Stats Compared To The Skills Stage. Such An Occurrence Won't Happen In Later Stages As Long As The Host's Stats Are Reasonable.]

"Oh... Well this is surprising." He said with a slight smirk.

"This makes things easier." He added as he started playing with his sword.
