Amber Extraction System

' Oh, what is this thing.' Yone rubbed his chin, trying to analyze the transparent magic that appeared in front of him.

He kept moving his right hand to dispel it. Yet, no matter how many times he tried to do so, the blue panel kept hovering in front of him.

Suddenly, before he could even understand his situation, he was welcomed by several panels with messages that he had never seen alike before. Or to be more specific, he had encountered some similar situations before, alas, the writings he saw back then were formed by some ordinary Amber which was used to write things with.

[ Congratulations! You have activated the Amber Extraction System. ]

[ You can now extract and obtain mystical properties of this world. ]

This was the first message he saw followed by a different panel.

[ You have died and got reincarnated into a higher realm multiple times stronger than yours. ]

[ Given your circumstances and shrouded fate, an Ancient Being long forgotten inheritance found its way to your soul.]

[ Remarks: The system is but an ancient inheritance thus it's not a special lifeform. If you want to get any information, you need to ask first, or else the system can't provide you with anything on its own. ]

"Huh? Amber Extraction System? Ancient Being long forgotten inheritance?" Yone had a hard time digesting the information he was provided with.

Furthermore, it felt a little bit hard to believe for even someone of his standing and experience, he was truly dumbfounded.

If what he was seeing is genuine which isn't out of the realms of possibilities. He could easily place it next to reincarnation. That was how frightening such a thing was.

"Well, from the fact that no matter how many times I try to dispel it and it doesn't work, it might be genuine?" He rubbed his eyes vigorously which is something he didn't think he would do, he even felt embarrassed by it. Nonetheless, the message in the panel was still there. He wasn't seeing an illusion.

Then, he saw a few more writings after brushing away the earlier ones with his hands.

[You can only extract things out of dead lifeforms, the host should remember this! ]

Seeing this follow-up message, he felt that he had to accept reality again.

Even though it was hard to believe especially after he was just reincarnated, he wasn't delusional and knew that he couldn't escape reality.

' Aghh, I'll just sleep and see if this is still here the next morning. This is too much to think about on the same day as martial arts being forbidden from us to use.' He yawned and fell to the bed, closing his eyes in hopes of getting some sleep.

***

Ring, Ring, Ring.

The Adventure's association golden bell rang in a rhythm.

The sounds spread across the whole village, even reaching the outskirts of houses inside the forest.

Yone slowly opened his dry eyelids while his heart silently thought," It's already dawn and the sun is going to soon rise."

He had been lying in bed for a long time last night. He thought up a lot of different plans on how to get his hands on some martial arts. If he had to guess, he only slept for around two hours.

His body has not started cultivating martial arts, his energy is not so vigorous thus his body and mind are still shrouded in exhaustion from his lack of sleep.

However, with 300 hundred years of experience, Yone had long built up steel-like deep determination. This sort of sleep-deprived exhaustion is nothing to him.

Immediately, he shoved the thin blanket on top of him and neatly got up. He opened the window and found that the spring rain had already stopped.

The mix of the fragrance of the earth, trees, and wild flowers greeted him. Yone felt his head clear up, the sleepiness washing away cleanly.

Right now, the sun was about to rise any minute, the sky still a deep dark blue, not so dark yet also not that bright.

Looking around, the tall houses made of wood and stones contrasted with the whole environment around the village.

" It seems that these cheap constructions in villages never change, no matter which world you find yourself in." Yone mused as he enjoyed the view in front of him.

The tall houses had at least two floors, typical for the village's tallest building. If his family weren't a fallen noble house, they wouldn't have secured themselves a three-floor building with such an outstanding view, covering the entire village- a view that everyone envied in this village.

" Yone, my beautiful son, you are awake. I will go upstairs and dress you up after your bath." At this moment, his mother's voice floated up from downstairs.

Coincidently, his name was exactly the same as in his past life. a fact that he was delighted with.

Looking down, Yone saw his own mother - Lilia. 

" Good morning Mother," He greeted with a bright smile adorning his face, making him look even cuter than ever.

Lilia's beauty was far beyond that of an average woman which was even enhanced by her elegant dresses, a proof of her prior noble status. She wore a red robe with long sleeves and trousers, had embroidered shoes on her feet and her black hair had a pearl hairpin. Her body from head to toe radiated youthful vitality.

She looked happily at Yone while carrying a covered box that had just been delivered to their door, and walked upstairs.

Taking the time it took his mother to reach his room and wait for him to open the door, he used this opportunity to check on something he wished was true and ignored the past night as he thought about different more important things.

' Sigh... This is something I have to do,' He thought with some lingering hope,' If this works, things will totally change from here on.'

His eyes shone with a bright light for a split of a second before he uttered.

" Amber Extraction System, come out!" He immediately felt the urge to take his own life after saying these words aloud. Thankfully he controlled himself, or he would have done something the normal he would never do on normal days.

' Breath Yone breath,' He thought in his heart with some annoyance,' This is something you should do and say, or else you will never find out if its true or not.'

After assuring himself multiple times, he awaited.

Even though the conversation with himself seemed to last long. In reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye, in the real world, it was as if a moment had passed and no more than that.

In the next second, something that made Yone feel a hundred times better transpired.

' Guess that it was indeed genuine and not a mere hallucination.' Yone thought, his lips curling into a devilish smirk.
