3 Hidden dangers of the system

- "This is a fucking system!" — I cursed, looking through the entire list of Debuffs, hoping to find something that would give points and would not be so unpleasant.

And I did find a few, though their cost was too low, but the sea is made of drops, so I got myself some debuffs to replenish my budget.

One of the future Debuffs I chose was albinism. There were many options for this, but I took the one that had fewer side effects, despite the fact that it did not give so many points. I also reduced my height by 10 centimeters. And of course I took both hair growth accelerated by four times and nail growth accelerated by four times.

Of course, I took the same thick hair on my head, twice! It was cheaper than going bald, but still scored points. As for the hair on the body and the beard and mustache, after thinking I decided that they were not so valuable, and took their absence. In the end I took "Sharpening Fingernails", which surprisingly brought in a lot of points.

As a result, when I opened the "Cosmetic Enhancements" tab, an Albino appeared in front of me, with hair reaching to the top of his head.

He was shorter than my previous appearance, and had paper-white skin, his iris was blue, and his hair became even more beautiful and thick. But I think the hairdressers, because of such thick hair, will double bill me for the haircut.

As for the fingernails, they were shown in the picture as very sharp and long. But that's what nails are, if I can cut them.

However, outwardly I didn't even look bad, and the number of my points, in the upper left corner, thanks to debuffs, changed from "10000" to "17850".

However, the time in the upper right corner did not stand still and told me that I had been sitting here for almost twenty minutes, and I had not acquired anything for myself, except for "debuffs".

* * *

Returning to "Active Skills" I spent time and found several interesting options.

Great Sage - 10000

Determination - 350 >

Evaluation - 700 >

AI Chip – 4500 >

I hesitated a little, but in the end I chose a skill called "Evaluation". Of course, it was a little expensive and perhaps I should have taken "Determination", but, as for me, "Evaluation" in one of the light novels even made a simple spider a God, so it wouldn't be a mistake to bet on it!!!

I bought it! The number of points dropped to "15650". At the same time, I felt a new power emerge within me, and I understood how to use it intuitively.

And in place of the sold "Evaluation" skill, changes have occurred.

Evaluation 2 - 1400 >

The corners of my lips twitched at the sight of the increased price. But…

But I wasn't upset. Still, "Evaluation" is a way to get more information about this place and not get into trouble. And in different books the power of this skill has been shown more than once!!!

- "So, now let's check if I can use it." — I looked around the space and used "Evaluation" on the space around me.

- "[Dimension No. 4]."

- So that's all?! "I used my active skill again, then again, again and again.

- "[Dimension No. 4]."

- "[Dimension No. 4."

- "[Dimension No. 4]."

- "Aaaah!!!- I looked around furiously, then cleared my throat. - Okay, this place is obviously very cool, so it can't say much about it." — I looked at the monitor screen and applied "Evaluation".

- "[Monitor]."

- "Are you... Are you kidding me?!" - Come on again!!!

- "[Monitor]."

- "And the mouse?"

- "[Computer mouse]."

- "Evaluation, you have a bad sense of humor. — I focused on one of the active skills - "Flight - 700", and "The evaluation gave me": [Monitor]. -Your rating is definitely the worst!!! " — I gnashed my teeth, then looked at the improved version and bought it.

Looking at the mouse, I checked again.

- "[Mouse Dimensions No. 4]."

- "Oh... How informative you are! "— I said ironically and again focused on the "Flight - 700" skill.

- "[A skill that can be purchased for 1000 points in Dimension No. 4. It will allow the owner to fly]."

- "Evaluation , you just want to gobble up all my points!!!" — I was outraged, and took the third version of this ability for 2800 points. After that, I used the skill for the same "flight".

- "[The skill will allow the owner to fly at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.

With improvement, the flight speed will increase.]."

- "Oh-oh-oh!!! Evaluation you... Have you suddenly become useful now?! " — I blinked in surprise, after which I looked greedily at her fourth version. If you buy it, it turns out that I will lose ten thousand five hundred points for this skill!!! Damn, it would be better if I took "The Great Sage"! Although…

I bit my lip and regretted it was too late. Skills could be purchased, but not returned.

- "Tsk-tsk-tsk... If it weren't for the "debuffs", I would never have done this. But... But... The assessment that you suddenly became useful looks like a deception, but I believe in you!"

I improved my score to level four and then tested my flying skill.

- "[A skill that can be bought for 700 points in Dimension #4.

When improving, the flight speed will double every time.

It will allow the owner to fly at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour.

But it does not give its owner any protection from the environment.]."

— "Hmm... What is Evaluation? Do you warn me about the shortcomings?" — I smiled and scanned the darkness, then used Evaluation 4 on it.

- "[Dimension No. 4

Compiled from the domain: Darkness, death, cruelty, lies, hypocrisy, betrayal, massacre, treachery, tricks, deceptions and vices.

This is the place from where you are eternally watched and silently moaned by the unfortunate and maddened souls of the righteous due to the tormented dimension No. 4. They live here??????.

The only stable places in this Dimension: a chair and a table]."

- "Yes, and this is already terrible..." - I shuddered and preferred to stare at the screen. Now I had the feeling that the souls of the righteous were watching me from the darkness. More precisely, insane souls of the righteous.

— "Yes, dear, you... You have become somehow too strong." — I smiled nervously and returned to the "Characteristics" tab, then selected one of the options for "Evaluation."

- "[Physical strength increases the physical abilities of the future body of your soul.

The first level: the initial indicator of the previous body is multiplied by 1,

the second level: the initial indicator of the previous body is multiplied by 2,

the third level: the initial indicator of the previous body is multiplied by 3...]"

The reinforcement was expected, but the most important part was much higher than expected! I felt a chill down my spine.

— "At the first level, the initial strength value multiplied by one is used. That is, if a unit is not poured, then the initial value will be multiplied by zero. Without intelligence you cannot think, and without strength you cannot raise a weapon, although no, even moving your body will be impossible! Damn, it will be bad if you don't raise all the skills at least one unit. So, what do they even mean?"

Soon I received feedback from Evaluation.

[Physical strength is the physical abilities of the body, roughly speaking, muscles and the force of blows resulting from them, and the speed of movement.

Intelligence is essentially memory. Volumes of memorized information depend on this indicator.

Speed - It is not surprising, but we mean the speed with which a person is able to think, well, the speed of reaction apparently also applies here.

Endurance — the speed at which the body and mind stand still.

Durability - How strong the body is.

Energy consumption — Responsible for the speed and efficiency of energy consumption.]

After thinking about it for a while, I decided to increase my stats. Taking into account Evaluation`s warning, and based on the fact that with both active and passive skills I will be able to gain both body strength and super speed, and improve memory, I decided to take only the minimum. (

Physical strength 1 — <2 >

Intelligence 1 — <2 >

Speed 1 — <2 >

Endurance 1 — <2 >

Durability1 — <2 >

Energy consumption 1 — <2 >

The number of points available to me dropped a little, but I didn't mind, because without these expenses, I simply wouldn't be able to exist in the future world.

— "If there were people before me, how many of them eventually fell into a trap and focused on strong skills and ignored Characteristics."

I smiled wryly and switched to the other tabs. Time was melting away, my ego was getting smaller and smaller.

Checking one tab after another, I felt the chills again.

— "You are my Evaluation for 10500! You... - I almost cried when I realized that I almost fell into another trap, two to be exact. — So, if I don't choose the World I'll go to before the time runs out, I'll stay here forever. Moreover, if I don't choose who I will be reborn in "Status", I will again stay here forever. The status itself will appear only after choosing the world..."
