Know thy self
Iron Gut 5, Lower Inhibitions 5, Self Status 5, Others Status 10, Hide Status 15, Computers Knowledge 25, and Training Area 100
Lower Inhibitions, sounds like it could be bad for me but what the hell I have a system now it's time to stop being so apprehensive. Iron Gut, I guess we'll see how effective it is. Self Status, I get to see what the system thinks of me. 15 points down.
"Status"
Race: Human Age: 23 Title: Bearer of Sin Attributes: An average willpower otherwise Weak Powers:0 Abilities:0 Features: Iron Gut Notes: bearer of sin, weak,
"Really the attributes aren't itemized. What is a feature."
System "A feature is a step above a parlor trick, like a cosmetic change. Really you need your attributes spelled out for you. Strength: You don't lift Agility: Slow Dexterity: Jerking off does not count Stamina: You managed to survive a twelve hour shift without crying almost average Inteligence: Well we are doing this so, problems understanding words like WEAK Wisdom: You still talk to yourself Charisma: You are more likely to wet yourself then actually picking a girl up"
Stop, I get it, damn this system is harsh
System "Harsh, really, Willpower: you almost sucked off a perv because he told you to. Now that's harsh."
Trying to ignore my evaluation. Let's get Others Status and Hide Status, 5 and 5. Price went down cool. Hmm, I look at Pride now that I have others status but nothing shows up.
Pride "Ah got it never bothered with that let's see here."
Pride Status: Name: Super Race: Unknown (An entity beyond the gods) Age:? Titles: Pride, The One, Power,... Attributes: beyond system quantification Powers: ??? Abilities: ??? Notes: An existence beyond the the system's capabilities.
Hmm
Sloth Status: Name:? Race:? Age:? Titles: Sloth, Patience, The Sleeping One,... Attributes:? Notes: When you look into the abyss, The abyss can look back
Sloth opens his eyes and it looks like they contain a galaxy or galaxies within them.
My head hurts like it is being torn into pieces then I pass out.
I wake up in the hotel room with a severe head ache. It hurts so bad I can't even open my eyes or move my body at all. I'm torn between worried I might be dieing and welcoming death to end this pain.
Sloth "Sorry about that, not used to dealing with things outside of the other sins."
I feel a hand on my head and the pain vanishes like it was never there. I feel a calm.
Sloth "The pain is gone right?"
"Ya I feel okay, what was that."
Sloth "The other sins call it the Abyssal Gaze but it's just what you would refer to as my eyes."
Sin System initializing...
I open my eyes and notice that all of the sins are in my hotel room with me. Sloth is standing beside my bed his hand is not on my head anymore and his eyes are not trying to kill me. Though they look the same. Behind him is Pride he looks bigger than in my dream, his eyes are a white light. Greed, Gluttony, and Envy are all sitting on a couch I don't remember being in the hotel room. Gluttony looks skinny like someone who had been malnourished, his eyes are a white vortex. Greed still has the gold coin, his eyes are creepy almost like oil. Envy's suit looks really expensive, his eyes are like a black hole. Wrath is sitting on the corner of the bed across from me, I can't tell if she is worried about me or wants to hit me, her hair is still red and spiked, her eyes are fire. Lust is laying in the bed next to me, I feel the urge to say something and it fades, Her eyes are like diamonds or ice.
Sin System initialized
System "Welcome back, please try to avoid dieing anymore. Would you like to continue spending your points?"
"Wait, what, I died, what the hell. You killed me, in my dream by looking at?"
Sloth "I already apologized for that. It was an accident." He sits in a chair and shakes his head."
Pride laughs then "Sloth could easily kill a god with his gaze, you should be happy that your soul wasn't erased."
Envy looking at Sloth "Have you ever brought someone back."
Sloth "My time as Patience, I resurrected mortals and gods alike. Even now as Sloth I have brought some back. But I have never brought someone back after my sight touched them. It may be an annoyance to us but to any lesser it is a destructive soul attack. Pride is right it could erase someone's soul making resurrection impossible."
"Shoot how long was I asleep, how long was I dead. I only have this room for 2 nights."
Lust "You were asleep for 6 hours and dead for less than 5 seconds. Relax."
Sin System
The screen pops up. But no screens for the sins. They are discussing what a soul is and...
I can see they have status but most of it is not there. Titles though, Lust is Temptation, Wrath is The fire of creation and destruction, Gluttony is The Void, Envy is The Usurper, and Greed is Corruption.
Looking at the overwhelming list. A clever thought arrived. System what do you recommend.
System "Clever, added to the notes, I recommend Strengthen Body 50, Sound Mind 50, Stable Soul 50, Enhanced Senses 25, Sense Systems 25."
I have 203 points this all of this would take almost all of them. The sins are discussing Time and Space like they are friends.
Heres hoping for the best. Let's get it all. With that I have the odd sensation of my body changing, my mind feels like the system has taken over and put me in the corner to watch, I'm guessing my soul is changing too but I don't know what that feels like. Suddenly I'm slightly itchy all over, I have a dull pain all over and then I feel good. Like this was the right choice.
Gluttony is handing me an omelette from a room service cart. I guess he ordered room service. Everyone else has there food.
"Wait, when did.."
Sloth sitting in front of the bed facing the TV snaps his finger and says cartoons. The TV starts playing cartoons.
I guess I'll eat and figure things out later. Or hey system what did I miss.
System "A lot as usual. But about the food. Well they were talking, Gluttony ordered room service for everyone. He then called the front desk to pay for all the food."
"Gluttony, thank you for breakfast."
