(Random Explanation)
Grade 7 is the lowest and Grade 0 is the highest, according to the current known power standards of this world.
Null-magic is an unattributed magic, like mana ball, mana beam, etc. which every magician can use with a little bit of skill and knowledge.
People in this world don't have a system panel like Jareth, not even the 'Hero' because even the 'Hero' is not a player but an actual individual right now and this is an actual world now.
…
'All my skills are at Grade 6, which means I am barely at the level of a newbie magician… sigh~' (Jareth)
Jareth got up from the bed and walked out of the bedroom and through the corridor he walked towards the original Jareth's training hall.
Although this place allotted to every professor of the academy is a small room, with the help of spatial manipulation devices, the area in the small rooms has been expanded several times.
Due to this, Jareth's Dorm Room 13, has several big rooms inside it, there are long corridors and a huge training hall too. (Magic is amazing…)
'This whole academy is hand-built by the greatest magic craftsmen of his time…. obviously, this place was going to be extravagant and luxurious…' (Jareth)
Wherever Jareth passed, the maids consciously avoided his path and respectfully kept their eyes low, they seemed to be used to Jareth's intimidating personality and didn't dare anger him.
'Where was his training room by the way…' (Jareth)
Jareth had no memories of this world, he only knew the general lore of the game, but these small details were unknown to him.
Jareth was now getting annoyed, he looked at the nearby maid who was mopping the floor.
He wanted the maid for guidance but what came out of his mouth was rather shocking:
"Hey, you peasant… Where is Richard?..." (Jareth)
Jareth's head tilted on its own, a frown appeared on his cold face and several veins popped up on his forehead making his look even more intimidating, his eyes stared at the maid with an extremely cold look in them.
'W-what am I saying!? I don't talk like that! What's happening here!?' (Jareth)
Although Jareth was shocked in his mind, his face remained cold and his eyes stared at the maid as if looking at some measly trash.
[Ding! The personality trait 'Arrogant' is in effect, the host's body can't say kind words to others unless on special occurrences!]
'What!? What kind of Sh*tty character design is this!? Who made this idiotic game!?' (Jareth)
After cursing a few more times, Jareth finally calmed down and thought:
'Could it be that the reason why the original Jareth was so cold and arrogant was because he was set to be like this from the start?... Sigh~' (Jareth)
While Jareth was busy contemplating in his mind, the maid shivered like a rabbit being stared at by a bloodthirsty wolf, the maid could feel that if she made a mistake she would die today.
"I-I.., th-that…" (Maid)
"Huh… you what? Speak clearly…" (Jareth)
Jareth's dark purple eyes stared at the maid and made her so fearful that she was nearly on the verge of collapse.
"Ahem! Master you called for me?" (Richard, the butler)
Although Richard's back was dripping from sweat, he gathered his courage and tried to take Jareth's attention away from the maid. The maid was his own daughter in the first place, he couldn't help but save her from the intimidating presence of Jareth.
Jareth's purple eyes shifted and landed on the bowing Richard.
'Hmm, he seems to be a capable guy, I should ask him instead…' (Jareth)
"Is the training room ready right now?" (Jareth)
Hearing Jareth's heavy and intimidating voice, Richard shook a little bit and replied in a calm tone:
"Yes, Master, you can use it whenever you like!" (Richard)
"Hmm, good, lead the way…" (Jareth)
"Understood!" (Richard)
Richard hurriedly got up and showed the way ahead.
With the butler's guidance, Jareth reached the training hall in just a few minutes of walking. (This place is extremely vast and luxurious…)
After reaching the training hall Richard opened the door for Jareth and stood aside in a respectful posture. From start to the end, Richard didn't even look Jareth in his eyes.
Jareth ignored these minor things and directly entered the training room.
"Okay, you may go now… also prepare a bath for me...." (Jareth)
"Understood!" (Richard)
After bowing towards Jareth once, the butler closed the door and left.
'Sigh~ Master seems to be in a better mood today… fortunately, he didn't get angry at that foolish girl… sigh~' (Richard)
Richard wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief as he hurriedly walked towards his daughter.
He found the girl collapsed on the ground.
'Sigh~ she is still too young to be working here it seems…' (Richard)
…
In the training hall.
'Hmm, that butler was indeed a capable guy, he didn't even ask a single question, I favor such straightforward people…. Perhaps I should increase his salary…' (Jareth)
(Oblivious to the chaos he caused from a single stare of his, Jareth was happy inside his thoughts and even forgot about the fact that this body was incapable of speaking kind words to people…)
'Now that I am here let's try out this thing called magic!' (Jareth)
As a fellow otaku, Jareth was a great fan of magic and adventure in his previous life. Now that he had the chance to use magic in real life, he couldn't help but become excited at the thought of it.
'Okay, let's start with the most basic magic in the game…' (Jareth)
Jareth stretched his hand out and targeted the dummy fixed on the wall nearby.
'Fire Ball!'
~swish~ (Cold breeze noises)
Jareth kept staring at the practice dummy but nothing happened.
The expected fireball didn't come out and he stood there in embarrassment.
Feeling the cold air, Jareth lowered his hand and slowly walked towards the nearby resting bench.
He sat down with a plop. Only one thought came into his mind.
'Sh*t! I can't even use the weakest and most useless spell of them all! I am doomed!' (Jareth)
'Looking at the current situation, Jareth can't even properly wield mana right now. How would I even survive that wyvern attack, and how would I protect myself from this cruel world!' (Jareth)
'Ahem! No, I can't lose hope right now! I just got a new life, I can't waste it all again!' (Jareth)
A newfound determination flashed in Jareth's eyes, he seemed to have gained some confidence.
'Let's see if there's anything helpful in the shop…' (Jareth)
<Shop >
[Credit points: 100]
[Purchasable items:
[Newbie exclusive pack: 100Cp] (Cp is 'Credit Points')
[???]
[???]
'What is going on, all of the items are greyed out, I can't even see them, and only this newbie pack is available…' (Jareth)
A confused look appeared on Jareth's face:
'If I remember correctly, there was no such thing as a 'Newbie pack' in the game shop… what even is this thing?' (Jareth)
'Moreover, I can't see many other functions either…' (Jareth)
After contemplating for a while, Jareth still didn't reach an understanding so he decided to put this matter on hold for the moment.
'Should I buy this newbie pack…. Well, it's not like I have any other choices right now…' (Jareth)
Jareth immediately selected the 'Newbie Pack' and bought it after a little bit of hesitation.
[Are you sure you want to purchase the 'Newbie Exclusive Pack'!]
[Yes or No]
'Yes' (Jareth)
[Congratulations! You got the 'Newbie Exclusive Pack'!]
[Opening the pack….]
[You get the following items…]
[1. An Attack Enhancement Card (Advanced)]
[2. Memory Card (Intermediate)]
[3. Memory Card (Low)]
[Inventory function has been opened… all the items have been stored in the inventory…]
Looking at these rewards, black lines appeared on Jareth's face, several veins appeared on his forehead and he looked extremely angry.
'Scam! This is an absolute scam!!!' (Jareth)
'Why did I get these useless items!?' (Jareth)
Jareth felt his heart bleed at the loss of those precious Credit points.
'Sigh~ can't you let me live an easy life for once…' (Jareth)
