Unopened Rewards;

Looking at the question marks, I also want to ask the system; "Why are you so useless? " I am an 18-year-old dude. How the hell the system can't tell. 

And for the stats and skills, I don't know what to say. The system should just hide it instead. At least, if I saw nothing, I won't feel confused. 

Fortunately, I already got used to this useless system. So, I don't feel down that much. 

"System, I want to open the rewards! " I came to the point and commanded the system. 

[Host, the rewards are ready to be opened]

[Does the Host want to open everything at once, or the Host wants to pick what to open? ] 

'Oh, yeah, there's a function like that' I smiled bitterly. I even forgot my own system's functions. "Let me pick what to open first," I answered. 

[The Host is free to choose what reward to open first] 

'A mystery box, a random skill, and a random potion ' Hearing the system, I turned my eyes again at the screen and read the unopened rewards I have. 

"Okay, let's see the skill first! " Because my Master still doesn't teach me new skills, I am quite optimistic about this reward. 

[Reward No.2; Random Skill] 

[Note: This is a luck-based reward. There is 50% the Host won't get anything, 30% to get trash, 10% to get a decent, 7% to get special, and 3 percent to get a Supreme] 

'Gosh, here we are again with a luck-based reward! ' I have a bad feeling about this. You must know that this shit... I mean, this system is a dog of my Master. It is already nice if it gives me a decent skill. 

'Still, I wish my luck works this time! ' I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I suppressed the unpleasant emotion. I have to not affect my luck. After a few times of inhaling and exhaling exercise, I decided to call it; "Okay, open the reward! " 

[The Host's Command got heard. Open the reward. The reward will be open in... 1... 2... 3...]

Flash* 

A faint light flashed in front of me and an identified object. It appeared like how rewards appeared in games. 

I stretched my hand and was about to claim it, but suddenly; it turned into starlight and faded away. 

I got startled and looked at the system screen... 

[Sorry Host, you got nothing...] 

Swoosh* 

I felt like my heart was a volcano and about to erupt. 

'You really are my Master's dog! ' I cursed inside. 

"Anyway, there's still the two rewards. I guess it's not bad luck anymore! " I comforted myself. And, of course, although not entirely, it worked. 

"System, open the potion," I commanded after a few minutes of silence. 

[The Host's Command got heard. Open the reward. The reward will be open in... 1... 2... 3...] 

[... Congratulations, you got a Trash Green Potion... ]

Fuck! 

That bamboozled me! 

I thought I got good stuff!

[Note: Green Potion is for healing. Getting a healing potion is not too bad. With this, the Host can save his life in times of need] 

I subconsciously made a fist. 'If only I can punch this dog system! ' 

'A dog is a dog! ' I explained to myself. The system is my Master's Dog, so, of course, it will try to tell me that I got something good, even though I got a trash! Just like how My Master is good at shit words. 

"Sure, sure system, I wish you live for more years," I said sarcastically, wishing it to die. 

[Don't worry, Host. My life is longer than yours. Even if you die, I'll just need a new Host and I'll remain alive! ] 

"Fuck you! " 

That line is quite uncomfortable. 

[Reality hurts] 

Ahem* 

I don't want to have a childish fight with the system anymore. I just coughed and let the bygone be bygone. 

"Anyway, open the first reward" 

[Reward number 1: Mystery Box]

[... As the reward name stated, the reward is a box, and what is inside is a mystery. It is random stuff that can be a treasure, trash, or nothing...] 

[There are 30% of getting nothing. 40 percent of getting trash. 20 percent of getting decent and 10 percent of getting a Supreme] 

"Not that bad, compared to the second reward," I evaluated as I read the messages. 

Even with my dead luck, I think I'll get something from this. 

'I just wish I'll at least get something decent! My trash spatial ring that Master gave to me is already full of trash and I don't want more of it.' I cursed inside, praying for every god I knew to give me at least a bit of luck. 

"Open the reward" 

[The Host's Command got heard. Open the reward. The reward will be open in... 1... 2... 3...]

A box covered with black smoke appeared in front of me. It rotates slowly as it opens. 

[Congratulations, Host. You gained a Body Nurturing Pill...] 

[Note: A mage's body is weak. But with the help of body nurturing, a mage could strengthen their physical body] 

"Wait, if I can remember correctly, I always see this kind of pill in some novels, but of course, it's not about mages, but cultivation. Does this world also have cultivation? Or is this world's magic a combination of magic and cultivation? " Having this little understanding, I unknowingly felt quite better. Maybe because I understood a little about this world? Maybe. 

There is nothing more interesting than comprehending the unknown.  

Afterward, I put the bottle of pills inside the spatial ring. 

"Open another one," I asked again. 

[The Host's Command got heard. Open the reward. The reward will be open in... 1... 2... 3...]

Just like before, a box covered by black smoke appeared. It rotates as it opens. 

[Sorry Host, you got nothing] 

"Fuck you! "
