Chapter 10: Finally, the status

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ATTENTION: Miho's internal monologue and dialogues will be written like this. So please don't be confused later on.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Fuck!

How is it possible to have only five potential talents from over 500,000 people?!

[Don't forget that two are the male and female leads.]

Arrrgggghh!!!

Don't remind me! I'd rather die than try recruiting one of those heroes of justice types to my side. 

[What of the other three?]

Let me see…

Fae?

[hmm?]

Please explain. 

[What you see before you is the character info of an individual. You can also refer to it as an appraisal result, or in this case, the information kept by the system on individuals after peeking into the main storyline.]

So you currently have access to all the system functions, am I right?

[Of course! Getting bound to a system does have it's perks.]

My information network in the future will be sure to depend on you.

It was then it occurred to Fae that he might have dug a pit for himself. But even knowing that, he proceeded to explain things calmly.

[The name is the name given to the person from birth. No matter what the person changes their name to in the feature, this name bar only displays their original names, irrespective of any sort of cloaking.

Race, provides information of what species a being is. Again, irrespective of any form of cloaking.

A title is gained when a large group of people decides to identify or recognize you with a common name. Please note that all titles have an effect on the one that receives them. These can either be positive or negative.

Physique sheds information about the special circumstances of the body. 

Level signifies the distance one is from a level up or a grade upgrade… ]

Wait a minute, are people consciously aware of when their level is about to reach a grade upgrade?

[No, but there are some beings out there with a high spirit attribute that could sense when they have reached a bottleneck, but not knowing how to proceed effectively from there.]

Oh!

[Talent refers to the superlative ability of a being. Long story short, it exposes the superlative abilities of a being.

Potential…]

Superlative?

[Oh, you are not well versed in that term, huh. Superlative is a term used to refer to all beings that can manipulate a form of energy to do their bidding. It also refers to a being that can do things other beings of the same kind cannot do. Example of talents are: mechanical modification, laser eyes, night vision, muscle enhancement, rune enchantment, magic, sorcery, etc.]

And this woman has no talent? How was she even drafted into a, 'list of potential talent', WITHOUT any talent!

[Look who's talking! Let me show you what your status looks like before taking those pills ...]

[YOU had no talent. You, just like everyone else, are humans. Well, were human in your case. I'm telling you this to prevent you from getting full of yourself and making a fatal mistake, not to demoralize you. And this is your status AFTER taking those pills]

I'm grade C? Should I be impressed?

[I was getting to that, Grades, this is an alphabetic representation of the strength level of a superlative. This is the means of strength identification mutually accepted by the three universal civilizations. The closer the grades are to alphabet A, the greater ones strength becomes. There is an exception though, that is the grade beyond A, known by the universe as the beyond grade A, but denoted by the system as grade S.

Potential is simply the system's estimate of how far one's strength can go before their demise. This can be change though, as special items, elixirs, and cultivation practices in the universe can increase one's potential.]

The universe sounds more and more interesting, don't you think?

[It sure does.

So, are we going to pretend that they ain't following us?]

Hmm… about six of them, aren't they?

[Close, but my scanner's picking up seven of them.]

Seven?! How is that possible?!! I can clearly hear four misplaced footsteps amongst the crowd.

 [Well, you are not wrong about the number of people tailing you. But, you are wrong with the number of people watching you. Six are currently blended into the crowd; four males, one female and one cyborg. The seventh person is four blocks away using a telescope to look over here.

Perhaps you couldn't perceive his gaze amidst the stares of the crowd. You still aren't attuned with your newfound senses yet, so minor errors like these are understandable.]

Miho paused in her tracks and stared at the crowd that seemed to have made way for her. The males stared at her like a teenage boys in heat while the female in couples smacked their boyfriend's to stop them from ogling at her. The single females however, couldn't stop their lovesick and jealous eyes. After all, in this apocalyptic age, if you don't have strength as a woman the only thing you could have going for you is good looks. If a woman doesn't have either of these two things, death by hunger awaits her.

Miho narrowed her feline eyes and flashed a heart wrenching smile towards the crowd before stealthily glaring a warning towards the window of a building four blocks away.

After being done with her act, she turned down an alley. The people assigned to tail her quickly followed. Unfortunately, all they could find was an empty alley way.
