Chapter 7. System
It was 6:07 in the morning when he woke up. He was really tired because of the matters yesterday.
As he was drinking water, his doorbell rang.
"Ding"
'Is it Ran jing?'
He thought that it was Ran jing as besides her no one will come to his door this early but when he opened the door, there was only a box on the floor and no one was around.
He closed the door and picked up the box. He was very curious about the one who sent him his box but when he opened the box, he was stunned that there were only two things inside, a smartphone and a note.
When he opened the note, there was only one sentence on it but he was stunned to read that one sentence.
(A special gift like I promised )
-By GOD007
He hastily picked up the phone and just when he touched it, the phone screen turned on and words appeared on it.

—Using SP, you can modify or add settings to a non-living target.
—Using SP and relating to target 'Xin Ren', you can modify or add settings to variable stats, skills, manuals and techniques.
*Starter gift: Once only, you can write skills or physique worth 10,000 SP free of cost and can add SP on invariable stats.
( It will disappear if not used in 24 hours )
*SP (System points): SP can be obtained by doing missions, unlocking achievements, changing the story or gifted by the gods.
He was shocked by the system and more stunned by the fact that he was able to use 'qi', 'mana' and 'aura', these three are the mystical energies he had created. Qi was the energy for cultivators, Mana by the magicians or mages and Aura by the Aura warriors.
But the fact is that no one was able to have all of the energies but it is clear that I can use three of the energies.
Next was the stats and skills. From what I know a average human variable stats should be around 1 and from my status, I can see that my body is very average except my speed and vitality are higher.
Next is the invariable stats, those that can't be improved but I will be able to improve them as a starter gift and also will be able to create skills.
Skills should be different types of abilities like the special abilities of metahumans and those hidden powers, but if I will able to create and modify them, it will be a great boost to my strength.
Physiques should be defined as having a bloodline or a special constitution.
Manuals means the manuals to gather energies like Qi cultivation manual and Mana cultivation manuals.
Techniques means different types of moves and attack patterns like Black Iron palms and Gale foot technique.
In these four, the most important are the skills and physique. Both of these were very important as the mc was able to become OP was also because he had a special constitution and had found a hidden power.
First, from the thousand SP, I got, I decided to increase my invariable stat, especially luck.
Luck stat is the most important stat. It increases the chances to land a critical strike from attacks, and even chances to win a lottery. It was the best stat that applied to all sorts of situations…
Luck was the thing that mattered the most.
mc was also able to turn around many situations just because he had heaven defying luck, that's why I used 900 SP to raise my luck and my luck was already less than average, I will probably die because of being unlucky in this world.
Using all my 900 SP, I increased luck to its maximum.
What I wanted was [Luck — 10/10]
[You do not have enough SP. The value will be adjusted.]
The system rejected my ridiculous wish and returned a reasonable compromise.
[Luck — 8.7]
"8.7 is the highest I can go, huh."
Well, it was a good number.
So, I saved yes and the modification was accepted.
[Luck — 8.7/10]
When, I finally got my luck increased, I started thinking about which stats to increase next. I didn't want to increase my variable stats as it can be increased later and wanted to use my SP on invariable stats. My charm was already pretty high and I don't plan to become a mage for the time being, so I don't think intelligence will help me either, that's why I decided to use it on perseverance.
'Perseverance should be good'
In my current situation, I had to change my mindset a little. With my old mindset, I would never be able to survive or make decisions if the opportunity arrives.. My mindset is too unstable.
Without hesitation, I put in the remaining 100 SP into perseverance.
I wrote, [Perseverance — 8/10]
[You do not have enough SP. The value will be adjusted.]
[Perseverance — 6.6]
Though I wasn't too satisfied, I hit save.
Effect of luck only applied after saving.
[An incredible luck applies!]
[Your perseverance stat increases from 6.6 to 7.3!]
"Wow."
Now I was satisfied. But I didn't feel any different. 5 was the standard for an average person. 7 should be at the level of a talented individual.
In any case, I was happy.
Next was the skills and physique, both would be useful to me but I decided to focus on skills more.
The reason was because physique can give me stronger body or a special bloodline but I know a way to obtain a bloodline. So, I decided to focus on the skills.
I thought about it and decided on a gift.
[Return from death (Unique) (Can not evolved)
—Will be able to resurrect after death]
I pressed enter and the message appeared that the SP is not enough.
[You do not have enough SP. The skill will be adjusted.]
[Return from death (High advanced)(Can not evolve)
—Will be able to resurrect into a skeleton after dying.
—Number of times Resurrection can happen : 1]
I immediately clicked on cancel. I don't want a skill which make me a skeleton after dying and it can only be used for 1 time. I do not wanted to waste my SP on this skill.
After thinking for some time, I finally decided on some skills.
[Anubis eyes (Unique)(Can not be evolved)
—Can extract the memories of a death person.
—Can only be used 1 time in 10 days]
[Hawk eye (Low intermediate)(Can not be evolved)
—Can see far away and somewhat predict target's movement path.]
[Bullet Time (High intermediate)(Can be evolved Lv.1)
—Once every 24 hours, you can spend 10 seconds in 'Bullet Time'. ]
Those were the skills I was able to make by my 10000 SP. I choose Anubis eyes as it will be able to help in various situations but the main reason I choose this skill was because I wanted to see the memories of someone.
Next was the hawk eye, I choose this skill as it was a good and efficient skill which will increase my eyesight tremendously. I can now see thousand miles ahead of me.
And the last one was the bullet time, a very efficient skill which can help me in many situations. It is also a evolving skill, so it will be able to evolve and become more efficient.
With this he had finished choosing his skills, he also started checking other tabs in the system.
He found that apart from status, there are also tabs like missions, alerts and messages.
Like his name, the mission tab will provide me with missions but there were no missions in it currently.
The alerts tab will show all sorts of alerts like.
[Host Xin Ren had synchronized with the system]
[You have gained three skills by spending 10000 SP]
Those are the alerts and the message tab was a weird one.
I only have one person in my mind who can message me and that was G0D007 but when I opened the message tab, there were several messages.
[GOD007 has sent you a message]
[GOD of weapons has sent you a message]
[GODDESS of love has sent you a message]
[GOD of death has sent you a message]
There were four supposed 'gods' who had messaged him, first I click on the GOD007 message.
[Yo, I hope you been well. So, this is the gift I had prepared for you, hope you will like it. I will also answer some questions that you will be curious about. First, you will be able to use all three of the energies cause you have a martial root and mana core, so you will able to use qi and mana and as for aura, it is a small gift for you. Second, yeah, I have made some changes to your story as it was full of plot holes and some characters personalities will be fixed. I will not answer more of your questions. Bye!!!]
As I read the message, I really have the urge to beat him up, my thoughts are on the things he said about changing the story. I don't think the story would be changed drastically but he will surely made some changes which I was worried about and I was also happy about the fact that I will really be able to use all of the energies which will be huge help to me but I was worried about the fact that if someone, and from someone I mean those 'crazy enthusiastic mages' found that I am able to use both mana, qi and aura , I will surely be dissected by them as someone who can use all three energies has been never seen before.
Even the mc was only able to cultivate. As someone who has both mana core and martial root has been never seen before and as for aura, even a ordinary person will able to weild it but you need a sturdy physique or your body will not be able to withstand it and will break.
I then opened the next message by the GOD of weapons.
[Hello, 7 has told me a lot of things about you and I was also observing you, I was enthusiastic about your future but you greatly dissapointed me when you didn't choose a weapon based skill. I even lost the bet with Fairy Moonlight, damn I am sure other gods will now go after her, 'Sigh', it feels like I will be forever single. Oh yes, where were we, Ah I am watching you kid, don't disappoint me.]
It was more like a single guy wailing rather than a message by God of weapons, it was pretty useless to me as I didn't found any information from it. He also seemed to dissatisfied about me not choosing a weapons skill but I just choose the skill I have the most use of. I didn't care much about what a single guy thinks of me.
Next I clicked on the message of Goddess of love, I was pretty enthusiastic about it.
[Hyy~~ my dear Ren, I am the goodess of love but you can call me Sister moonlight. I really like your interactions with the girls but I hope you won't become like the mc you have described, guys who wanted more than one women are just perverts, they think love as lust, So I hope you don't become a guy like that and if you become like that, I will have a small gift for you~~ which you will really like. Bye for now~~]
The Goddess of love message was filled with a menacing feeling for sure and it feels like a threat however I see it. I hope she didn't send me the gift. I also think that the Fairy moonlight the God of weapons was talking about was her, she surely would be very beautiful for the gods to fall in love with her.
Moving up next was the message from the God of death, which I was worried about, the messages I have got till now were not very useful to me, they even have some threats. I hope the God of death didn't write something like how he is making plans to kill me. With these thoughts I clicked on the message.
[Nice to meet you, kid. I am the God of death but you could call me Arse. I have been observing you till now, you did great job, kid by choosing the Anubis eyes, it sure bring back memories. I still remember the old days when I used to use this skill daily. It was very bad for my brain to carry memories of millions of people but I am glad you choose that skill. I will be gifting you some SP. Bye for now]
[Do you want to accept 50 SP from GOD of death. Y/N.]
I immediately clicked on yes and I got 50 SP in my account. At least The god of death was somewhat useful even though there was a feeling of death when I was reading his message.
By the messages, I came to the conclusion that some weird guys will be monitoring me and watching my every move from now on or rather they were doing it from the start.
Well, GOD007 did tell me that his friends will be watching me but I didn't think that will be seeing my every move.
Now, I feel like a bird in a cage but I have more important matters to think about.
I decided to first make a plan to how to get stronger from now on.
