Chapter 2: Chapter 2: The Hunt for System Energy
The Hunt for System Energy.
The morning sun cast a warm glow over Arthur's mansion as he prepared for his day. Today wasn't like any other day. This was the beginning of his hunt—not for rare comics or collectibles, but for something far more valuable: energy. With his newfound power, Arthur now saw the world through a different lens. Every antique shop, every dusty relic, was more than just an object—it was a source of strength.
Before leaving, he called for Alfred, who arrived with his usual calm demeanor. "Alfred," Arthur said, adjusting his coat, "I'll be out for most of the day, traveling to a few places. Don't worry, I'll be back by evening."
"Understood, sir," Alfred replied with a nod, as usual, not prying into Arthur's plans.
With a small smile, Arthur stepped out into the world, ready for the adventure ahead.

**The Global Hunt**
Arthur's first stop was a high-end antique shop in London, known for its rare and exotic items. As he entered, the faint buzz of energy from the artifacts around him tingled against his skin. The system interface floated before him, invisible to everyone else but guiding him as he scanned the shelves. Some items glowed faintly, while others radiated with an overwhelming energy, almost calling out to him.
A weathered, ancient vase caught his attention first. The system highlighted it, revealing its energy value—high and potent. "This will do nicely," Arthur muttered, striking a deal with the shopkeeper and purchasing it.
He repeated this process across several cities, jetting to Paris, Cairo, and Tokyo, acquiring antiques that had stood the test of time. In a small shop in Cairo, he found an ancient amulet that pulsed with energy from an age long forgotten. In Paris, he acquired a 15th-century tapestry, its threads humming with a subtle but steady power. Each time, the antiques were stored safely in his sub-space—a seemingly infinite storage granted by the system. As he collected, he realized that the energy from each item varied. Some items were rich with power, while others, despite their age, were nearly empty. It was a careful game of discernment, one that thrilled him to no end.

The Museum Discovery
Days passed, and Arthur's sub-space now held a collection more valuable than any he had ever dreamed of. But as he traveled to a renowned museum in New York, something shifted. The moment he entered, his system reacted—strongly. The air itself seemed to vibrate with the sheer volume of energy stored within the museum's collection.
Walking through the exhibits, he felt it—energy radiating from the items, ancient sculptures, old manuscripts, and relics from long-lost civilizations. One in particular, a ceremonial mask from the Aztec era, nearly pulsed with raw, untapped power. Arthur stood in front of it, overwhelmed by its potential.
"This... this could push my energy reserves to new heights," he thought to himself. But a problem arose—these items were in a public museum. Stealing them was not an option.
As he stared at the mask, debating what to do, he quietly asked the system, *"Is there a way for me to get the energy without having to steal it?"*
The system's response was immediate:
*"You can absorb the energy directly by being near the item. Leave behind a fraction of energy so it doesn't disintegrate, and no one will notice the difference. You won't need to steal at all."*
A wave of relief washed over Arthur. The idea of stealing had troubled him, but now, with this ability, he could take what he needed without causing any damage or suspicion.

'Absorbing the Museum's Energy'
Arthur stood before the Aztec mask, taking a deep breath. He focused his mind, drawing on the system's power. The interface appeared before him, showing the absorption process. Slowly, a faint shimmer of light drifted from the mask toward him, invisible to the naked eye but palpable to Arthur. He felt the energy flowing into him, charging his system reserves, and he watched the numbers rise.
System Energy: 12,000... 15,000... 18,000...
The sensation was exhilarating. The mask didn't lose its form—it still remained perfectly intact, but Arthur knew its once-vibrant energy was now only a fraction of what it had been. Still, no one would notice the change.
Next, he moved to an ancient Greek statue, repeating the process. The statue radiated with centuries of history, and as Arthur stood before it, the system extracted the energy, leaving just enough to maintain its appearance.
He continued this throughout the museum, targeting only the items with the strongest energies, absorbing what he could while leaving them intact. He watched as his system energy soared with each relic he passed, feeling stronger, more powerful with every step.

Return Home
Hours later, Arthur left the museum with a satisfied smile. His collection of energy had grown exponentially, and he hadn't had to steal a single item. His sub-space, now filled with antiques, glimmered with hidden potential, each one ready to be tapped into for power.
As he made his way back to his mansion, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment. He was no longer just a collector—he was something more, someone on the verge of unimaginable power.
Tomorrow, the world of antique hunting would continue, but for now, he had enough. Soon, he would be ready to explore other worlds, but first, he had to master the one he was in.

(Not an important word,you can skip or read it)
Given Arthur's careful selection of antiques with high energy from different locations and the massive energy sources from the museum, I'd estimate that he collected a substantial amount of System Energy.
Since he was absorbing energy from rare and ancient items, and considering the museum artifacts were particularly potent, he could have easily gathered between 50,000 to 100,000 System Energy in total by the end of the day. This would include the antiques from around the world and the significant haul from the museum.
What do you think of that number?
Don't expect detailed info from me guys i am a newbie. this is all what i could do and it is not exactly accurate in sense.
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
V_crimson
V_crimson For each world travel, we can set the energy cost at a reasonable amount that reflects the complexity of the world being traveled to, without making it too high. Here's a potential breakdown:
- Simple or Earth-like Worlds (e.g., modern parallel world, fantasy magical worlds): 5,000 - 10,000 System Energy.
- Fantasy or Fictional Worlds with Magic/Unique Elements (e.g., Avatar: The Last Airbender): 15,000 - 25,000 System Energy.
- Highly Advanced or Cosmic Worlds (e.g., space-faring civilizations, sci-fi): 30,000 - 50,000 System Energy.
For a balanced approach, you could start at 15,000 System Energy for a moderately complex world, like "Avatar: The Last Airbender," where bending and other unique powers exist.
Does that sound good for the system energy requirements?
