What will the future serve to the protagonist?

Starlight Rift

As the days passed, our situation somehow became more manageable. My friends and I grew stronger with each monster we hunted, but there was a noticeable absence. "Thimothy's not here again?" I asked, concern etched on my face.

"He said he needs to rest for now," Myrtle replied. "He'll meet up with us next week."

I nodded, then glanced at my status window.

Skills: <Lv.2 Beginner Swordsmanship>

I had allocated my skill points to boost my attributes, but it wasn't that helpful. I turned to watch my friends gathering loot from the defeated monsters.

"The coins are essentially worthless," I said, shrugging. "What can we even use them for—"

My words trailed off as I noticed my status window updating.

"Hm? What's going on?" I muttered.

[You can now enter the Status Shop!]

A new icon appeared on my status window, labeled "Status Shop." I exchanged curious glances with my friends.

"What do you think it is?" Annaleigh asked, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

I shrugged. "Only one way to find out."

With excitement, I clicked on the Status Shop icon. A new window opened, revealing a list of options.

• Iron Blade (ATK +30) - 80 coins

• Chainmail (DEF +20) - 50 coins

• Hunter's Bow (ATK +20, Archery Skill +10%) - 120 coins

• Archer's Quiver (Increases Arrow Capacity +5) - 30 coins

• Class Change: Archer (Changes Class to Archer, unlocks Archery Skills) - 500 coins

"Class change to Archer, huh? just what I was looking for."

"I still have about 7,240 coins lef—" Many Notifications suddenly popped up.

[Congratulations, You gained the Rapid Fire Skill!]

[Congratulations, You gained the Long Shot Skill!]

[Congratulations, You gained the Critical Hit Skill!]

"Too loud," I added. "I'll try the bow."

I nocked an arrow, took aim, and released. The arrow soared through the air, striking the zombie with a perfect headshot. The undead creature crumpled to the ground.

"Uh... I didn't even activate my skill yet..." I uttered, confused.

[You're a natural! you should've had the class, archer in the first place.]

I pointed my bow at the Status Window, I took aim and released, hitting the system.

"Hey, your aren't that invisible after all — you keep yapping about being so strong and invisible."

"Anyways, why did the bow hit you? I thought you're the system that only the user can see but I never thought it can be hit with an arrow."

"Yeah, yeah, ignore me all you want system." Suddenly, I held my finger in front of the Status window and did the middle finger.

"See? you can't possibly ignore m—"

[Stop doing that!!! you keep cursing and cursing all da—]

Minutes passed and the Status window kept scolding me for being mean, cursing and doing the middle finger.
