Chapter 27：A World-shaking Grand Scheme (1/2)
Before long, the cupid spoke once again.
”Ahemm.. Ahemm.. Listen here everyone”
”...”
”...”
”!!!”
Having heard that sentence, everyone's body trembled instinctively, they then thought to themselves, 'It is the f*cking same speech! That cupid, he is acting like nothing has happened at all'.
Consequently, everyone felt more and more fearful towards the cupid.
As a result, within their eyes, he was not a 4 years old cute little cupid anymore. Right now, he was more of a devil who had disguised himself as a cupid instead.
After realizing that everyone was finally quiet and everything was in order as he wished, the cupid then continued his speech, not caring for what other people below were thinking within their mind.
”I will say it only this once. So, listen carefully...”
”Now, all of you, a total of 10,000 people.. err.. no, I mean a total of 9,914 people were standing in a place called Tutorial. This place will help you adapt yourselves and make you qualified enough to live in your new home, Ortus. Well... only if you 'survive' the Tutorial, that is...”
”You might be curious about why all of you have to pass the tutorial before you can live on Ortus, right? The answer is simple... it's because the resources on Ortus is very limited. If your entire human race goes and lives there, most of you will die or become slaves instead.”
”So, here we come!! The tutorial to make you get stronger and be qualified to live on Ortus without having to face 'too many' problems.”
When the cupid had finished its speech with a cold light radiating from his two narrowed green eyes, he asked further, ”Am I clear?”.
”...”
”...”
”...”
After not seeing any negative response from the 'clowns'. He felt satisfied with himself, then he continued his speech.
”Then I'll introduce you to some basic pieces of information that all of you should know beforehand. First of all, every living and non-living thing on Ortus, also includes this Tutorial, will have their own status window that will be showing them the name, race, class, title, elements, talents, traits, and achievements that can only be viewed by the owner, unless you want to share it to others, nobody can see it.”
”Now, you can call for the status window by saying the word 'Status' or 'Status Window' within your mind, or you can say it out loud. It's up to you.”
Not long after, the room was filled with noise and murmuring again. It was a result of those people experiencing something very amazing.
Most of the people right now, had an almost transparent status window at almost 1 meter in front of them.
As for Jeremy, he was also looking at his own status window that was showing...

”!!!”
”What... the... actual... f*ck?”
Jeremy mumbled dumbfoundedly after seeing his own status window. He had never seen something like that before. Even the demigods, dragons, and other exotic races, they shouldn't be able to possess something like that, a rank 10 title...
'Is that a rank 10 title, furthermore, granted by the universe itself? My traits and talents, aren't they looking too godly for a starter? After all, they are my traits and talents from when I was the former sage. And... is that a f*cking Divinity? Am I a god or something now? Are my eyes pulling a prank on me? Holy... shit...'
As far as Jeremy knew, only those self-proclaimed gods had rank 9 titles, and also those same gods had Divinity powers when they wielded their power. But, it was only rumors after all... No sane god would exposed their secret to mortal.
When he saw his own status, he was very startled that he had actually received a rank 10 title which was unheard of before in his entire life... no... it was unheard of before in the entire Ortus.
Meanwhile, he was in doubt and suspicious about that tad bit 0.1% of divinity affinity.
'Something is fishy here... really... really fishy...' Jeremy thought to himself frowningly.
He then thought and thought about many possibilities. Starting from the time before his demise, when he suddenly 'feel' the purest mana particle on Earth, until today, when he actually saw his own status window.
