When Zion saw the three abilities he had gained, he couldn't stop smiling from his happiness.
This was his first time being blessed by the heavens with such abundant luck.
Well, did the heavens really have anything to do with his luck? Only time will tell.
He tested the Celtic shield's first skill, as he was enveloped with a blue aura that he could only see.
He also felt his body strength elevate a bit and his skin get harder than normal. After a minute, he felt something slowly getting sucked out of his body, and that's when he concluded.
"Mana?"
[Correct host, what you are feeling is the suction of mana when you activate the first skill of the Celtic shield.]
"I see. Activate the first skill of my Circular Swirl Vibration ability."
Zmmmmmnnnnnnnnnn…..drrrrrr….
He focused on his left arm as he felt the fast vibration that gave a loud sound. He was amazed. As the representative of an earthling who dreams of gaining abilities, he was happy and fascinated. I mean, who wouldn't? It's an ability that we always watch on TV and wish for, after all.
(lucky you "…@)
He again activated the evil-eye butterfly ability by imagining a scene of a garden.
The shack, I mean his castle, was changed as an illusion of a dozen butterflies came out of his body, both black and white, as they covered an area of 35 meters of Zion as their center before disappearing and manifesting a beautiful scene of the garden Zion had to imagine in mind.
He felt the illusion of wind and the sting of the sunlight.
He could even touch the roses in the garden and the fountain in the center of the illusion.
Zion concluded that the evil-eye butterfly was not an ordinary illusion at all, as he could touch and feel them if the ability was used cleverly and tactfully with the right imagination. He thinks that it would really be lethal to his enemies alone.
"No way, an illusion as natural and can be felt as though this is worth it even if I didn't draw the two abilities. I'd even accept them as junky abilities' haha... But unfortunately, my luck soared into the sky and was heard by my ancestors and gods, I pray, so Amen."
'Damn, I'm now like White Beard from the anime I watch with the vibration ability. It's super cool and with the evil-eye ability, I can smack the faces of my enemies and my super adorable father and brother to death by playing them to death, and my Celtic shield could help me fight in close quarters.'
" Come who wants to feel my vibration punch, I swear this would make you reflect on your life. hehe "
As he used both three abilities in just ten minutes, he lay on the wood floor of his shock castle as he forgot his mana capacity was too small.
"I forgot haha, system show me my status please"
@...@ system
"Why are you silent?"
[nothing host, your stats are now displayed]
[name: Zion Freese (Altaria revoked)
Age: 15 Bloodline: 40% Quin (60% Altaria sealed).
HP: 100
Mana:10/105
Energy: 0/100
Rank: none
STR: 15/30 / AGI: 13/30 / VIT: 17/30 / DEX: 30/30 / INT:35/30]
"So, this is my stat hah... Well, cursing my strength, agility, and vit wouldn't do anything at all. The old Zion was, after all, restrained from being a knight or having any physical exercise because of those bastards. I'll just have to train"
"System, can you tell me what your other functions are? I already expect status as you are a system assisting me to grow after all. "
[Host, I'm impressed that you're smarter than you look. But the host will need to discover for himself what the system functions are.
The system can't spoon-feed you.
If the host is eager to know the information, then accumulate enough authority fast]
"…" Zion
"Can't you give me a hint, system?"
[host, I thought you were smart."…"
All right as the system is magnanimous, I will tell you how to accumulate authority.
This system will give you tasks based on the situation of the host and his future kingdom]
"System, are you serious right now?
I'm just asking about your function; how will I use you if I don't know your full functionality"
[Host, it's not that I don't want it, but my program is based on authority law. As you are weak and don't have enough authority, it will only cause problems for the host and may disrupt your growth. That's why you must first become stronger and accumulate enough authority to know its hosts.]
"All right, system stops. My head is hurting from how strict you are. "
Zion massage his temples with his left hand as he looked at his wooden throne, and he walked forward.
After touching it, he felt a connection to it, and he had the urge to sit on his ordinary wooden throne of his.
His throne can't really be described as a throne per se,
but his throne was made of wood with a gap between them.
The wood had a carved curl, and some parts were cracked and charcoaled.
As he touched the charcoal part, he didn't even have a stain on his hands.
Unlike his father's throne, which produced a superior aura, his throne didn't; it was calm as the sea.
When he sat on his wooden throne to calm himself, knowledge about the wooden went to his mind.
[congrats host, you are now fully integrated with me and your throne to supremacy. Please remember the phrase of the throne in order to become king of kings, which rules over all authority and protects the many. ]
Zmnnnn…
[What qualities do a king need to rule over the many? And what do your heart and minds desire for the throne to be to protect the many]
Thanks for the chapter!
Your welcome
Author-san, I am enjoying your story, just pointing out some thing that doesn't make sense to me after all there are a lot of thing that it may sound good in our heads but when you execute....
So, I think I know what you are trying to do, I also think it is stupid in those stories with sudden strength gain where the MC only knows to just hit and nothing else and agree the your character, learning, improving and discovering is better.
But here is the thing, it doesn't have to be everything, even kings doesn't make all the desicions, they may have the final say, but the royal court is there to present other information and points of view.
Yes a think is good for your char to try to discover things about the system on his own but to not give him the most basic knowledge it feels like f2p games with overcomplicated systems just so you spend more without realizing
And I get that you are trying to make him progress through his efforts but take it from a TTRPG DM, you have to balance it out as not make it so grindy that becomes annoying otherwise it will be like those novels where the MC trains even when he sleeps and still get his ass handed to him(wich I think is way worst then OP MCs)making it feel like all the progress mean nothing.
Thank you for your thoughts and ideas.
I will try my best to be more informative and explain it in the following chapters.
it's not that I don't want it, but my program is based on authority law
How does this correlates to just teach him why STR is 15/30, it could mean anything, is he weakened, cursed or poisened? Does his body have a limit of growth? The limit is just to distinguish the quality of the attribute and once he hits it it will became STR II?
The system can't spoon-feed you.
From my point of view this is bull, he isn't asking for a guide to speedrun to the strongest, he is just asking for the manual for the basic features, even Darksouls has a tutorial, it is really subtle but it teaches you how to play the game.
Hahaha
Thanyou😆
