Chapter 4

'The Constellations are beings that have reached greater heights, but the resource they need to reach even greater is impossible to imagine

'They came up with the idea of followers who would offer their wealth in exchange for rewards that come in Blessings and the higher the offer, the more powerful their blessings can be

Daniel smiled at the idea of offering the spiritual stones to them.

Aside from the blessings from the constellations, there exists Magic Theory that can be learned and wielded.

Through the age of time, mankind began to understand the concept of Mana and Skills, thus, they created theories of complexity that allow them to wield Magic Abilities through the conversion of Mana'

However, only those with Elemental Affinities could truly unlock these said theories. And to unlock affinities, one must simply have the talent for it.

The higher the affinity the more powerful his or her magical abilities will be. This is why hunters are more focused on leveling up

Daniel thought suddenly when recalling his time at the academy. Although he never benefited greatly from it, there was some useful knowledge he could use.

'By killing monsters, one could gain experience in leveling up. In return, they'll gain stats points for them to distribute to be stronger than before. Hence, why many are prioritizing hunting monsters'

'The career of being a hunter is much better than working on average jobs. With income a hunter could live a leisurely life, even the average hunter was happy with their life'

'But with the constant pressure from both society and the threat of monsters, there's no peace. But, items like 'Skill Books' and Weapons dropped by monsters in the dungeon can either change their whole life around or be exchanged with a bit of richness'

'Either way, both ways were extremely favorable. There was still hope for hunters to ride. This is why despite having weak systems and skills, people would never give up, however, what made them gloomy are the low chances of loot dropping'

With such deep thoughts, Daniel couldn't help but chuckle at how fast the events were. Functions that granted him great privileges?

What kind of System is that? An auto-learn function where he can learn anything at the mere touch? What does an academy or scholarship even mean to him now?

An infinite dependent spiritual mine where he can exchange it for blessings and also money? What does money even mean to him now?

Anything that he wanted had been given by the idle system. Knowing that he was pumped with excitement.

On Earth, he knew that games were the only exception that drives him not too much insanity. And now, with such perfect settings, what else could he ask for more?

Despite knowing the oddity of his system, Daniel assumed that the system requires a tremendous amount of energy to exchange for functions.

Usually, having a system would mean being granted lots of skills without the need for compensation or requirements.

Meaning to say, the moment a newborn unlocked his or her system, that will be the max potential and there's no growth of it aside from leveling up or cultivation.

But none of these applied to him at all which was broken and overpowered.

'But now that I think about it...didn't I end up being at this grass plain because it was my off day from being a porter?' He scratched his cheeks while letting out a small sigh.

Aside from his hand of trouble, his circumstances with his daily life are not amusing

To be precise, although he was 15 years old, Daniel had to find a way where could survive with his daily needs, and knowing he had no qualities of a hunter previously, he could only work as a porter.

Because of his situation, he couldn't work a daily life job and not even a cleaner job. However, jobs like Porter's aren't normally meant to be looked down upon.

It was a job where it required the person to be quick on his feet and durable enough to last throughout the requirements, and there was even a policy for Porter not to be taken advantage of or unfair treatment.

Of course, working as a porter wouldn't have caused any trouble, not if Daniel's mother was a popular hunter whom everyone admires, and in this sense, not one of a speck wouldn't recognize Daniel, the son of Lightning Tyrant.

The Lightning Tyrant that could turn millions of monsters into ashes within seconds has such a failed son. With this, his everyday life even in the academy he used to attend became a living hell.

He would always be stared at with eyes of ridicule, and whenever he goes, words of mockery resounded nearby.

Thus, instead of living with a golden spoon in his mouth, he was fed with a rotten spoon just like how his heart slowly became depressed by the constant verbal abuse.

In the first place, Daniel was never like his mother. Being strong, independent, and filled with a charismatic aura was never his strong point. With these features, it's no wonder how easily he'd crumble down.

Each time he was greeted by passersby, rather than containing a hint of respect and admiration, it was more like sarcasm and disgust.

In a world where skills, systems, and cultivations matter, having none of these is akin to being a slave, and it's one of their nowadays common sense.

Well, the only person who loved him the most and would die anything for him would be no one but his mother. It's quite funny now that he thinks about it.

At the same time, his body trembled and shivered at the aspect of love his mother showered him.

No, to say love is quite an understatement. If the right word for it would be the term overwhelmingly to the point, he suspected that his mom might have a twisted mind because no mother would reach that far to show her love for his son.
