Chapter 6
How to use my Golden finger!
"When they wake up, I'll have to get information from them myself, and this time it'll be dreadful, but first of all, I need to know how to use my golden finger."
"From my current observation, this golden finger only pops up when I fight, and the criteria is to land a successful hit on my opponent."
"But in games, animes, and novels, there's always a word used for summoning it right like... panel, system, properties, status, sometimes even golden finger"
"I've called out all of that, but it doesn't respond to any of those," Jarvis thought. "Why doesn't it, though, could it have another command for spawning?"
"Well, I guess I'll have to open that chap–" Suddenly, a translucent light flashed at the corner of his eyes and enlarged
[Name: Jarvis Moretti (Davis)]
[Title: Abandoned son of Vincent Moretti]
[Asset: 0]
[Gang: 0]
[Members: 3]
[Attribute points: 7]
Jarvis blinked, a bit stunned as the translucent panel hovered in front of him, revealing a list of stats and attributes that seemed almost novel. His heart skipped a beat, and a smile appeared on Jarvis's face, a mixture of excitement and disbelief churning inside of him.
"This is it, I've finally summoned it." Jarvis stared hard at the screen. He's brow furrowed."It seems like the keyword should be open, huh? But what does this all mean?"
Jarvis scrutinised all the details, and each line bore some of his information. "Abandoned son of Vincent Moretti," jarvis muttered subconsciously, a pang of bitterness welled up in his heart. "Figures. Even my golden finger has some sense of humour."
Jarvis quickly shook off the feeling. He checked other entries that piqued his curiosity. "Assets: 0," he noted with a wry smile.
"I really thought an abandoned son like Jarvis would at least have something to fall back on. But from he's memories Jarvis never inherited his father's knack for collection, just he's knack for causing trouble."
His gaze went further down, "Gang: 0" and "Members: 3" "Members? Does that refer to the three thugs I just fought?" He wondered a bit puzzled.
"Or could it be something else entirely? Maybe allies or potential recruits? I'll have to check that out later."
Jarvis's eyes went further down before it came to an abrupt stop. "Attribute points: 7." Jarvis eyes glimmered, "Seven points to allocate, right? But how? And what exactly do they enhance?"
Jarvis already knew that the source of his current strength was the attribute points that were added to him earlier," drawing from every anime, game, and novel he had ever consumed.
"Could it be that this could be added to like strength, agility, intelligence, maybe even charisma? He mused "I need to be able to use this, if I can just boost my abilities, even a little bit, it could serve as an edge I need to stay ahead of the lycon gang."
"If only I can bring out my attributes like I brought out the panel, maybe I'll even be able to see a more detailed menu or at least a breakdown of the information," he thought,
"What made it open bef–" Before he could finish the sentence, the screen in front of him changed again.

Jarvis stared, absorbing the information. This is incredible, he thought, he's whole body was full of excitement. "I can see exactly where I can improve."
"I can finally thrash the lycon gang with this," Jarvis said with a wide smile on his face.
"But it seems before levelling up my stats were lower than an average person, huh?, that means those men could have easily taken me down." Jarvis felt goosebumps crawl up to his neck
"Thankfully, God still gave me a gift," Jarvis said in an orz pose.
"Eh, those plus signs near the attributes should be how I allocate it right." Jarvis gaze lingered on the plus sign next to each attribute.
"I need to think this through. every point count, and I can't afford to waste them." He considered each attribute carefully.
"Strength is vital, I'll need every hit I make to be able to count. But agility is equally as important. If I didn't have that during the fight I'll would have been the one losing."
He eyes shifted to intelligence. "This should be the best out of them. In my opinion, I'll need to be smart to outsmart my enemies and use my resources to it's limit."
Charisma suddenly caught his eye. "Hmm, could this help me build alliances?" He wondered. "If I can sway others to my side, it'll might make a difference, and I don't see what's bad with getting the ladies too,"
Lastly, Endurance "I need to last in a fight, to keep going even when things get rough," he thought. "I can not afford to be easily worn out,"
With a deep breath, Jarvis made a decision. "Let's do this," he focused on the plus signs, willing the points to distribute according to what he had in mind.

『Note: An average human has a stat of 10』
The screen shimmered as the points took effect, a surge of energy coursed throughout he's body but unlike before, it seemed like the energy was guided with a destination already predetermined.
"This feels great, Jarvis thought, flicking his fingers as if testing his allocated attributes effect.
He glanced at the skills and abilities section. "4 level 1 skills and 2 level 2, lemme see the once that are level 2 are; Hand-to-Hand Combat and Evasion"
Jarvis was in deep thought "Could it be because I used them the most while fighting those thugs" Suddenly, Jarvis caught sight of the Combat Insight "open"
[Combat Insight: You have the ability to have a thorough understanding of skills, techniques, and abilities you use during a fight. The probability of comprehending new skills is boosted by 1000%]
Jarvis eyes formed stars when he saw the attribute, " Hehe, isn't this a little bit too powerful? Well, since I am going to use it against the lycon gang, it doesn't matter too much."
"Knock! knock! knock!"
"Who the hell is there?" Jarvis said from a corner of the room.
"Young master it's me,"
"It's me? Sorry, but I don't know anyone named me. You'll have a better chance entering inside by stating your full name and your affiliation. "
After what Jarvis went through, he couldn't just open the door for anybody, he had to know who it was.
"Young master it's Sylvia, your loyal retainer and teacher."
"Sylvia? Who the h*ll is sylvia? " As soon as Jarvis said that, a surge of memories flowed into he's head "Sylvia, she's my martial teacher,"
"Arrrgh!"
