Artificial Intelligence Devices

He was gripped by anticipation and eagerness upon hearing the light alarm, this sound became like a stick and a carrot, he wanted the rewards and was avid to gain them, but he also did not forget what Nightmare had said at the beginning that everything has a price, so he is a little concerned of the upcoming missions.

'Let's ignore it, the important thing is what has changed in the Characteristics,' he willed the statue window to appear in his mind.

Not only that, Rash noticed the changes that had taken place, which made him more startled, and he began to gradually feel the changes in his body only moments after he reached the second level. Previously, when he woke up from a coma, he felt that his body was tied, but now it is as if the chains working to deter him are softening little by little. This is definitely because his characteristic gradually increased, and he is now even more excited to raise them to their previous level.

"Nightmare... you told me I was in the sixth level before the battle. Do I have to reach that level in order to return to my previous state?" When he thought about the subject, he did not hesitate to inquire further, because the feeling of being tied up all day long is bothering him.

But Nightmare denied it, "No... Previously the system was idle, and you weren't in good shape physically but things are different now, your basic characteristics are getting stronger than before and there are also the characteristics you gain from the quests. These things will put you in a unique position from the way you were in the past." He did not hide the truth, as everything he said is correct, and this is also in order to motivate him more to do the tasks that he will receive.

"You also have to know this, most ordinary people have levels ranging from level zero to about level ten, these levels change according to the characteristics of each person separately, so you may find two people of the same level, but each is distinct from the other. In fact, there are several ways to determine levels from a person nor another, but I decided to use the method utilized in this world so you can understand things better later on."

"Hmm... I see." Rash knows little about the topic. Still, he's not very knowledgeable, in his current academy and even in his previous school, he used to hear some classmates in the department talking about these levels and about their progress in the level to show off among themselves and even for the purpose of competing. He asked no one, nor he cared to know that from the start because it's not something to concern himself with, but now it is a different matter. Since Nightmare here, he can ask about that, "Other people, how do they do it, I mean determining their levels and so on?"

"By using Artificial Intelligence Devices." Nightmare immediately replied. Noted Rash, who is not yet accustomed to Nightmare very much, especially since his childish appearance does not fit his teaching style, "You know about it, right?"

"Yes, but I can't use it yet because I'm under the legal age."

Nightmare went on to explain the matter further, "When you were ten years old, you took the ability test. At that time, the tool that used is the artificial intelligence device, although it was a little special, not like what is available in the normal market." He stopped, to attract his attention to something more important, "These devices have many advanced features and differ in their shapes, but they may also be dangerous to children at times. The law is forbidden to leave them within the reach of children for this reason, but you will be able to use them from the age of fifteen with a monitoring system."

Most of the people of this age use these artificial intelligence devices, and this is something everyone knows. These devices are easy to use and their ability to communicate with the user which makes them more ideal. Only one device may spare you many things, so you can use it as a phone, TV, computer, book and many other features... It can also determine the state of the body and act by itself in case that its user falls into a crisis and cannot contact help.

In the past, and before the emergence of artificial intelligence devices, cell phones were the pioneers, but today there are only a few who use them and everyone is turning to the new technique of what distinguishes it from other things. Unfortunately, even with the great development in this field, there is also a development in the field of hacking, piracy and manufacturing digital viruses, which may cause an imbalance in artificial intelligence devices and with the ability of those devices to communicate with humans, there are cases that these devices have incited children to actions that have caused their death...

That is why the world government has imposed the Fifteen Years Law.

"Therefore, I cannot have one yet because I don't have someone to monitor it for me and even if one is available, I do not have enough money for that." Rash said.

"Why do you want it...? You now have much better than that. These devices, despite their development, are still far from my own capabilities." Nightmare seemed to shamelessly brag about himself and his potential, of which Rash didn't see much. "Yeah, just stop bragging...."

"Let me ask you one more thing... I noticed that the normal attributes increase by the amount of five for one level, but why is luck only increased by one, does this mean that my luck will always be this bad?" In his case, he cannot help but think about it more seriously, because he believes that much of what has happened to him in his life is because of his bad luck.

"This is where you are wrong in your thinking. The luck in your characteristic means nothing to the luck in your personal life, but it has to do with the extent of your control and command over your other characteristics, It also has to do with your ability to direct critical blows and some skills that depend on luck in activating them, so higher luck, the greater the percentage. As for the luck you think, this is something that differs from one person to another in its perception and cannot be controlled in a normal way. You may see your life miserable and you have no luck, but in another person it might be his dream to be like you and vice versa." Nightmare explained the topic further.

However, he is very conservative because he does not want to dive into many mazes, the subject of luck in general is more philosophical, and no matter how long the topic is discussed, there is no specific degree of how lucky one person is from one to another. Can you label a person who is very rich but severely ill with someone lucky, smart girl but hideous or very gorgeous one and disabled, and so much more?

After resting a little on the bench, Rash regained a little of his energy, got up and sat straight on the chair while watching the passers-by on the street. No one cares much when seeing someone talking alone, there are many who do the same thing talking with someone else on the phone or with their AI, so Rash did not care to hide the matter and Nightmare is more careful than him in these matters, so if the matter was suspicious, he would have already warned him.

"What now.... Why do you want me to come to this area? It is not just for running, Right?" He asked again.

Nightmare shook his head, saying, "No, of course, but first check the Activate Skill List. There's a new skill you have acquired." Before completing his explanation, Rash presented the list of skills to see what was new, hoping that it was a distinct skill, especially since he had not yet tried any skill other than the hero's appraisal.

'Wonderful skill... huh... why the same naming method!!' Sometimes he does not understand Nightmare and his way of thinking, or maybe the flaw lies with him?
