Chapter 19 - Sticky

[Medal of Recognition - System Grade]

Only 1000 of these will be given out by the system. Each metal will have 3 random good traits/buffs. Please roll for these buffs and find out what buffs you will gain.

Random

Soul Bound

User can access any town/city without having to pay the entrance fee or go through procedures required to enter.

The user will no longer lose a level during their death and will instead enter a weakened state for 30 minutes, increase by 30 for every death during this state. The user will also have a 50% less chance to drop items upon death and loot dropped will be locked for 30 minutes, meaning only the user will be allowed to pick up said loot.

User can also sacrifice 10% of HP and Energy to gain one re-roll.

[Would user like to roll? y/n]

Who would say no to roll?

Especially when the system said that the rolls could only be good/beneficial.

What's the worse that could happen?

"yes!"

[Rolling...]

[1st Role...]

[Waypoint...]

[2nd Role...]

[Magnetism...]

[3rd Role...]

[Flight...]

[You have completed rolling for all your talents, would you like to sacrifice 10% of your Health and Energy to re-roll? Keep in mind this is the only chance the user will get to re-roll. y/n]

Although it's tempting to re-roll since its certainly possible I could've got a buff that would increase all my stats by a few hundred. However, the sacrifice of health and energy isn't worth it.

"No."

[Medal of Recognition - System Grade]

Only 1000 of these will be given out by the system. Each metal will have 3 random good traits/buffs. Please roll for these buffs and find out what buffs you will gain.

Waypoint - The user is allowed to set a total of 10 waypoints and can teleport to them at will. As long, as the user is out of combat for at least 5 seconds. Teleportation is instantaneous, keep in mind outside forces can prevent teleportation.

Magnetism - The user can attract all types of loot on the floor at will, even the loot from monsters, that the user did not kill. If the opposing player has loot in hand, however, is not yet in inventory, the user can pull the loot from their hands, toward the user.

Flight - The user can fly at speeds equal to their total energy (mph) without any cost. The user can use 1%-100% of their energy to increase flight speed by 2x-100x their flying speed.

Soul Bound

User can access any town/city without having to pay the entrance fee or go through procedures required to enter.

'Although I didn't get any buffs that would increase my stats, these buffs alone are more than enough. To make up for it, especially waypoint, this would allow me to teleport in and out of this library of will, as well as any other special places.'

'It's time to see my 2nd reward now!'

[Withered Magical Stick - System Grade]

A magical stick that came from the World Tree located in the Garden of Eden. However, this stick is now withered and no longer contains the mighty power of the World Tree.

Supply Mana to the stick to nourish it and unlock the stick's lost power.

Mana Supplied - 0/???

Unbreakable

"That's it? Just another unbreakable stick?"

"And here, I thought that this would be a Godly weapon..."

"However, what are these classification for these weapons? Are they better than Godly tier?"

Although I was upset at my 2nd gift, I still supplied Mana to stick, since nothing the System gives me would be useless.

I felt the Mana draining from my body and immediately tried to let go of the stick. However, the thing stuck to me like glue, staying stuck to my hand even when I smacked my hand on the floor.

I tried using my other hand to pry the stick off my hand, however, I found out that my other hand was now stuck to the stick.

Each second passing I felt weaker and weaker. I quickly summoned my status panel.

Mana - (-)86985/2810

"WTF!!!!!!!"

"MANA CAN GO NEGATIVE???"

[User is experiencing Extreme Mana Deprivation and if the user does not enter a suitable environment filled with Mana, then the User will lose 1% of their maximum Mana pool every 10 seconds.]

"NOOOOOOOOOO! STOP! stop stop stops toptopsotpostpop"

'I was literally losing my mind, as I saw the negative number climb higher and higher.'

Mana - (-)105613/2810...

Mana - (-)237382/2810...

Mana - (-)742815/2810...

[-1% Mana...]

Mana - (-)841485/2782

[-1% Mana...]

Mana - (-)911355/2754

[-1% Mana...]

...

[User is now regening Mana faster than the User is losing it. The user will no longer lose 1% of Maximum Mana every 10 seconds.]

Mana - (-)9999999/2487

I had lost over 400 maximum Mana which is equivalent to 40 stats.

I felt very wronged as I had only wanted to give the stick a little bit of Mana, who would've known that it would suck all the Mana out of me.

What worse is that the stick is still stuck to both of my hands.

As I was still wallowing in my sorrow, blood shot out of my hands and was absorbed into the stick.

"..."

Health - 20/2020

[You have received fatal damage and will enter invincibility state for 5 seconds...]

Health - (-)999999/2020

0_0

...

[Invincibility is ending in 1 second, user will be given 10% of HP and Mana.]

[Invincibility has ended.]

Health - 202/2020

Mana - 249/2487

...

"Please...no more, I'll never say anything bad of you sticky..."

"I'll call you Dad Stick if you won't torture me anymore... ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)"

I had wanted to cry but this damn sti- I mean Daddy Stick ate my tears, along with my blood and mana.

"Huh, what's this about daddy stick?" a voice said in my head.

At this point I had finally noticed the stick that was stuck to my hand, floating in front of me. There were two large eyes a scribble of a mouth on the stick.

"a-"

"What? You've never seen a talking stick now have you?"

I had no idea what to say, the only thing I did was shake my head.

"My name is John, you can call me whatever, but don't call me Daddy Stick. It would be an insult to your parents and my prestigious origins."

'John? Such a bland name?'

"I heard that..."

"..."

"I don't like the name John, I'll call you Sticky..."

Just as I finished saying that, John the Stick flew over to my balls and smacked them like he was playing baseball.

( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ)

I immediately knelt on the floor grabbing the two baseballs that John had swung at.

"Don't insult my prestigious name, I am John W. Tree the 1,867,321 th!"

"Enough of this childish talk, child I can feel a strong connection with you to this Earth."

'Is he talking about my title "One with the Earth"?'

"One with the Earth huh? It does seem to be that you are one with this Earth."

"However, this is not of much importance, what is important is that I can no longer feel any connection with my Mom. It appears that I have been severed from my Mom completely."

"What's worse is now that the connection I'm supposed to have with my Mom is now with a pitiful weak human like you."

(╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

'YOU ATE ALL MY HEALTH AND MANA ( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ) '

"Calm down child, if I didn't take that Mana and Vitality from you, I would've never waken up, I had to grab my chance, otherwise I would've died."

"If anything you should be happy, that you have someone like me to guide you through your journey!"

"I fucking hate you, Sticky."

"Yeah fuck your children too, buddy."

Swinging his baseball bat into my baseballs again...
