Chapter 4 - Cultivation! (2/2)
Will wanted to test how far he could control water. He closed the tap and thrust the water in the shape of a snake outside the window. He slithered it in the air above his neighborhood, farther and farther from his house. Will couldn't believe how he was able to do this, and so easily too. When the snake reached about 15 meters away, he could feel his control of the water slipping. When it reached 30 meters, the snake fell apart and rained down onto the street. He knew he could control any amount of water within a 15-meter radius with his current level of power. But, he could only control its movement, he couldn't change the temperature, in other words, he couldn't change it into a different state, such as steam or ice.
After more experimentation with his control over water, Will sat down on his bed again. He felt as though he were forgetting something important. He started to remember everything that had happened.
”Ah, the system, that's it!” He said aloud.
Just as he remembered it, the system flooded his mind with instructions on how to use the system.
Once a user becomes a part of the system, they gain abilities, powers, and a class. To increase their power and ability level, a user must gain experience. The way to gain experience is by being in the system and killing demonic creatures. By doing this, a user will be rewarded and level up. Users cannot leave a dungeon once it has been entered. Each world has a set amount of dungeons. A star on a dungeon represents 50 points that may be earned by defeating the boss. The reward goes to the user who defeats the boss.
The system selects users randomly throughout the world. Only a certain percentage of a population above a certain age may be a part of the system. When a user is chosen, they will remain in the system until the end of their life. To make a none- user part of the system, it will require a payment of 25 points. However, the system will determine their abilities and class. If a payment of 200 points to the system occurs, one can have any individual become a part of the system, and they will have the ability to choose their class, abilities, and parameters.
Every user has a menu with a list of five options.
[Information]
The information contains information on dungeons and creatures; however, all information has a price.
This also allows a user to talk to anyone in the world for 1 point. But, the user must know the individual's full name and have already met them. A user may pay 1 point to message anyone in the world for a day.
Moreover, this is where a user may add an individual into the system and allow them to state their class parameters and abilities.
[Stats]
This allows a user to view their abilities, level, and class.
[Storage]
This is a space of 1 cubic meter to store any non-living items. The storage space increases as the user reaches higher levels.
[Map]
The map shows a layout of the area up to a 100-meter radius around a user. It shows users and creatures that are within the 100-meter radius, depending on the circumstance. This too increases as the user reaches higher levels.
[Management]
This allows users to form groups with other users. These groups may be guilds, alliances, parties or an organization on a large scale.
To see this menu page, a user must close one eye and navigate using their hands.
As soon as this information had finished loading in Will's brain, more information began to flow into his mind. Something was different. This information was not about the system, it was about cultivation!
