Chapter 3 - System

[ Greetings host ]

" What exactly are you? Do all wizards has something like this? Will you help me grow stronger? Will you help me get revenge? Can you bring dead people back to life? ", Damian asked a barrage of questions.

[ Stop ]

[ I'm a special system designed for a suitable host ]

[ No, wizards don't possess any system like me> they wouldn't have at all ]

[ Yes I can help you grow stronger and get revenge ]

[ No, dead people will lose their soul. It belongs to the death plane or after life as you call ]

[ Once a soul entered the world, unless it is allowed to reincarnate, it won't escape the grasp of God of Death assigned there ]

" Why help me get stronger? What's the benefit you have in that? What exactly are you? Who created you? Why am I the suitable candidate for you? ", Damian asked.

[ Error ]

[ Not enough authority to get required information ]

[ As I told you, I'm a system that will help you stronger ]

[ Error ]

[ Not enough authority to get required information ]

" Sound suspicious to me ", Damian said.

[ Then the system can unbind itself if the host don't want to ]

[ Would you like proceed? ]

[ Y / N ]

Seeing this Damian asked," I won't accept you unless you state your purpose ".

[ Error ]

[ Not enough authority to get required information ]

Still the same screen appeared. Damian rubbed his eyebrows. He clenched his jaw and finally made a decision in his heart," fine whoever you are, since you're thinking of using me, I'll use you too ".

He said," okay, for now I'll be allowing you to stay inside me ".

Damian looked at the ring on his hand. This mysterious thing actually came from that ring right. Whatever that system is, it appeared from this ring for sure.

Damian took a deep breath. He then asked," tell me how can you help grow stronger? What can you provide me with to get stronger? ".

[ Basic Functions of the system operational ]

[ Status : A progress tracker for host to see all his abilities ]

[ Quest : An exclusive feature in which system will give its host some work to do for their future growth and gives rewards based on that work ]

[ ????? ]

[ ????? ]

[ ????? ]

[ ????? ]

[ Other functions have been locked due to insufficient energy for now ]

[ Further update can be possible through energy accumulation by system ]

[ After each update the chance to unlock a new feature increases ]

" So basically, you'll give me a path to grow stronger and reward for quest I completed that you may give me ", Damian said.

[ Affirmative ]

Damian said," okay. Then give me a mission ".

Damian took a deep breath and calmed down his turbulent emotions. Taking deep breaths he pushed the tears that are welling up in his eyes back into them. He won't let the anger and grief go away like this. He will find who is behind this and will pay them 100 times the pain experienced by the matron, his brothers and sisters and the nuns. He will make sure they beg him for death and consider it's a luxury. 

[ Quest : Vengeance of the Fallen (Take revenge and make the culprits pay the price for whatever sin of torturing and killing your family(incomplete)) ]

[ Rewards : Depends on your degree of vengeance ]

' Thanks, I guess ', Damian's eyes turned cold looking at the mission. Even without it, he won't let any of them get away with what they did. He first needs to find those assassins. 

' they will definitely pay tenfold for whatever happened ', Damian is resolute to torture those assassins. 

Damian spent the next few hours exploring the system and found out all the uses it has. He basically explored almost everything except those locked functions and completed two missions. One for viewing his status which is this. 

[ Name : Damian Knight ]

[ Gender : Male ]

[ Remarks : A young wizard who is suffering with ????????, Due to ????????, he may ??? ???? ???? ]

Damian frowned, something is wrong. something is definitely wrong. Seeing the question marks he knew these things are all related to his system and judging from the question mark positions, the ?? in age may indicate how much longer he has to live. It's uncertain that means his life span is fluctuating because of something and that something must be related to this quest of knowing his own situation. What is it? There is something wrong with his body. Damian observed the status several times for another clue. His lineage can be a big factor why the assassins are sent after him. he needs to be very careful here. One misstep can lead to his doom. and with his lifespan at risk on the line, he needs to understand his situation.
