1 Arrival (2/2)

[Nothing important happened. Some small animals came by and drank some water before leaving.]

The young man slowly stood up as he said, ”System, how do I get stuff?”

[You can use the store function. Anything in the world's you've been to can be bought, for a price. Also, you should open the starter pack as it'll give you a small amount of System points, a set of clothes, a weapon and an ability.] Explained the system. The young man nodded towards the explanation as he asked the system to open the starter pack. He gained 10,000 system points, a white shirt with black jeans and black sports shoes, a light green crystal bow and a cooking skill.

”System, what's with this bow? I don't even have a quiver or arrows!” Said the young man. From his memories, both this life and the last, he never used the bow. His last life was a world of peace so he never got the chance and in this world, his body couldn't handle any type of strain so he never even left his bedroom.

The system gave a quick reply as it said, [That bow is called 'Oak' and it's the lost treasure of the elves. Oak was lost in the second world war as the Elven king at the time entered the fray to give his people enough time to escape. This bow is made from a material called 'Hallow' and has the ability to turn a person's magic power into an arrow.]

The young man stood wide-eyed as he stared at the bow. He thought that he must be extremely lucky to get a legendary equipment on his first try. The young man held the bow in a standard archery position and tried to make an arrow but after 5 minutes, the only thing he managed to make was silence.

The young man brought the bow down and asked, ”Hey system, Why can't I make an arrow?”

[It's because host has damaged magic circuits. The system can fix them for 5,000 system points.]

The young man collapsed to his knees as he muttered, ”So expensive…”

After think for a bit, the young man agreed and asked the system to fix his magic circuits. It took roughly 30 minutes before the system told him it was finished. The young man closed his eyes as he savoured the feeling of magic flow through his body. He stood up and held the bow and tried to channel his magic to the bow. The bow shone with a dim green light as an arrow of light appeared. The young man drew the arrow back and aimed at a far away tree. He suddenly let the arrow loose as it took off in a blur of light. A couple seconds later, an explosion rang out as a huge dust cloud rose in the direction he fired the arrow.

The young man sprinted towards the dust cloud. Waiting as the dust settled, the young man said, ”System, can you store the bow? It'll be inconvenient to always carry it. Plus, it could get stolen.”

[Opening Inventory Function… Inventory Unlocked! Host only needs to think of what you want to store or take out to use the inventory. Also, dropping a drop of blood on the bow binds it to the host.]

The young man stored the bow after binding it before turning towards the dust cloud and became stunned. What appeared was an extremely long snake with transparent scales that shimmered in the light, making it extremely hard to find but the huge hole through it's body helped.

Suddenly, the system rang out as it said, [Opening Quest Function… Quest Function Unlocked!

Quest complete: Kill 1 one-star beast.

Reward: 10 system points.

Milestone Quest Complete: Reach level 5.

Reward: 10 Status points.]

The young man asked, ”System, what other functions do you have? Plus, what's with the one-star thing?”

[The system has a myriad amount of functions, however, the functions the host can unlock depends on the situation. They could be unlocked or maybe not. The systems current functions are: Status, Abilities, Inventory, Store and Quests. Next, the one-star represents the beasts danger rating. In this world, people and beast have evolved into extremely strong beings. Humans developed cultivation and magic while beasts evolved. A normal animal doesn't have a rating but when it evolves into a beast, it gains a star rating. Each star represents its danger level and while one-star may seem weak, it's still able to destroy villages.]

The young man thanked the system for the information as he stored the corpse. He checked his surroundings before slowly making his way back to the lake. He sat down on the edge of the lake as he said, ”The third prince died that day and I took over, so lets bury his names to let him rest in peace. From this day forward, I'll be called…”
