Newbie Package!

'Wait, system! You cannot do that to me!' Ursa panicked immediately as he read the content the system sent to him. 'I still don't know what to do here! What if something bad happened?!'

His worry was not unfounded, since a few minutes ago, he was just an ordinary teenager. Let alone exposing crimes, he even had never witnessed one directly, just watching it from the broadcast on television. To let him who was a complete novice in this world do an espionage mission like this, was that a recipe for disaster?

Fortunately, the system was not as cruel as he initially thought.

[Don't worry, Host. The System has already been preparing something to help your first mission.]

[DING!]

[A newbie package has just arrived! Please, Host, open and use it wisely.]

Then, Ursa noticed the '+1' notification popped up at the top right of the screen, and he knew it was what the system meant. Curious, he clicked it and saw a yellow package about the size of a poker card waiting for him to open it.

'So, it is a card-based reward, huh?'

Without thinking about it too much, he slid his finger to cross the top of the package, and after that, an animation of a scissor cut through the package could be seen on the screen before three yellow cards shone brightly in front of him.

[DING! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the title 'Spy Master'! Stealth attribute is increased to the max 19!]

[DING! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2000 Gold Sham! Please, check your bank account.]

[DING! Congratulations to the host for obtaining [Grey windbreaker]! Please, check your wardrobe.]

Ursa was stunned when he saw the reward he just obtained from this newbie package. Let's leave the title and the windbreaker for now, but that 2000 Gold Sham itself was enough for him to recognize how luxurious the reward was. That amount of money was probably twice or three times more than the monthly wage of the ordinary government workers outside here, and just by that amount of money alone, he could live comfortably without even having to think about this small bar.

'So, this is what the system means by taking care of me, huh?'

He shook his head quickly, trying to focus back on the reward he just obtained. Even though he still couldn't know whether the reward was real or not, it was easy for him to know that. He rushed back to his room to check his wardrobe, and when he saw a grey windbreaker there, he knew that everything was real.

"So, this is the reward from the system?" Ursa muttered, flipping over the jacket just to feel the soft, comfortable material used in it. "Definitely a top-notch jacket. I wonder if there is something more to it?"

Just as he thought about that, the screen suddenly popped in front of his face again, but this time, instead of the usual interface he saw a few moments ago, there was a short text formed on top of the windbreaker, giving him a short explanation of the item.

[A grey windbreaker, made from soft, cozy material that feels great to wear and keeps you comfy on breezy days. Silver-level item. Effect: Lower your presence by 25 percent.]

Ursa gasped in shock when he read about the item's description. He wore the windbreaker quickly, trying to see if it was as effective as what it said. Just right after he wore it, he could feel the cold breeze through his body, and he suddenly felt his movement became a bit quieter, making him less noticeable. It was as if he was blending into his surroundings.

'Is this the effect of the item? What a magical thing, as expected from the system.'

After that, he turned on the system once again, trying to see the last reward he received. Unfortunately, when he went to the personal interface, most of it was still locked with a warning in it.

[You can unlock it after completing the first mission!]

He nodded a little, remembering the reward of the mission. Then, his eyes caught one section that was already unlocked, and there he saw his stealth stats and new title.

[Stealth: 19/19 *7 is the value for most people in the world.]

[Title: Spy Master. Obtained after the stealth stats reach the maximum value. Effect: The user's breath and step will be as soundless as possible, making it impossible for anyone to track.]

Ursa only realized that after he read the explanation from the system. It was so creepy how he couldn't even hear the sound of his breathing, and now, his movement was so silent that he was sure he could sneak on to his old school without anyone noticing him at all.

"Damn, the combination between the title and the windbreaker is enough to make me like a top spy. This is so cool." Ursa admired himself in front of the mirror. "So, what kind of ability can I get once I max another attribute? Also, how can I upgrade it?" He decided to ask.

[The effect after maximizing one of the stats will vary depending on the host too. As for how to upgrade it, the Host has to spend at least 20 reputation points first, then 40, 80, 160, and so on. The host can see the pattern.]

'So, if I want to upgrade my attribute that is pretty ordinary to a max level, I need at least twelve upgrades, and based on the geometric series formula, I need at least…' He racked his brain hard to calculate things inside his mind quickly, showing why he was one of the best students who graduated from his generation. "About 81,000 reputation points, huh? Isn't that a bit too much?"

[For the Host who lives in the most populated city in the country, this is far from being difficult, Host. Out of 10 people outside, as long as the Host can convince at least 2 people to admire or even worship you, Host only needs to wait for one month and a half to get all the reputation points necessary to upgrade one of your stats into the maximum value. While yes, 81,000 is a big number, but with the population of this city which is about 6 million people, once the host's name is spread apart, it will be easy to gather reputation points. And if Host's reputation could also spread outside of the city through the entire country, Host doesn't have to think about reputation points anymore in the future.]

Ursa was grateful to whoever made this will of the world that the system he had was polite, patient, and helpful, not like the rude, harsh, and sarcastic one he always read in any fictional story before. While that kind of system would always produce a funny story, this was reality, and Ursa couldn't and didn't want to imagine what would happen if the system gave him a hell-level mission in the start without any help at all just for shit and giggle.

As he thought about the content he read, though, a warning suddenly popped on the front of the screen.

[DING! Warning! The two targets are about to move! If Host still wants to complete the first mission, please, start taking action!]

Ursa was taken aback by the sudden warning, then took a peek at the corner where those two mysterious men rose from their seats. Seeing that, without even a single second of hesitation, he wore the windbreaker once again, putting the hoodie on before clenching his fist in determination.

'The system is right. It is time for me to take action!'
