"Now, System, introduce yourself," Max said after returning from school.
[Yes, Host.]
[The Greatest System at your service, Host. Please say 'open Status' mentally or aloud.]
"Hmm. 'Open status,'" Max said.

[Open any for further info.]
Max nodded and then opened the UP option, as all others were self-explanatory.
[UP (Universal Point): Host basically uses it to do anything from shopping, lucky draws not only limited to the system but for external use also.]
[Profile
Name: Max Potts
Race: Human
CP: worse than canon fodder
Abilities: None
Items: Newbie gift package (Greatest Edition)]
"Neat," Max smiled widely, happy that his system was not limited to Marvel... No, no. "System, are the products in the System shop or lucky draws limited to the Marvel universe or not?"
[Negative. It comprises an infinite amount of universes.]
[Host, don't underestimate the system. It's called Greatest for a reason.]
"Hehe, sorry. I got panicked for a while," Max apologized while scratching his small head.
[Better be careful next time.]
"Yes, ma'am. Now, open the newbie gift for me," Max said while rubbing his hands in excitement.
[Opening... Congratulations, Host! You got the following items:
1. Random lottery *3
2. 1000 UP]
"Sweet, System, roll one lucky draw for me," Max said while still retaining the excitement.
[Host, do you want three random rolls or a single roll?]
"A single one. Let me test the waters first," Max replied.
[Okay, here's the roll. *Rolling sounds*]
Max watched as a golden ball came out. His breathing accelerated rapidly, as this was a sign for a Legendary item. But he still waited for the system's announcement.
[Congratulations, Host, for the beginner's luck and obtaining the pseudo Celestial item Mukluan Rings (upgraded version).]
[Rarity Ranking from low to high: Common - Uncommon - Rare - Epic - Unique - Legendary - Mythical - Transcendence - Celestial]
Max's mind exploded, not because of the golden draw, but because of the Mukluan Rings. These rings were obtained by Mandarin from a Mukluan crashed spaceship, which made him a powerhouse of Sorcerer Supreme level.
"System, quickly show me info on Mukluan rings (upgraded ver.)," Max couldn't contain his excitement, as the normal Mukluan Rings were already powerful, and he wanted to see what the upgraded ones looked like.
[Item: Mukluan Rings (Ver. 2.0)
Rank: Pseudo Celestial/Soul-bound
Rings:
1. Daimonic : Generate and Grant control over Lights and Sunlight.
2. Incandescence : Generate and Grant control over Flames, Ability to increase the Temperature of anything.

- Armour of Mukluan: Reduce the Burden on the user by 50%, Super Defence, speed, strength, and Regeneration.
User can change his form to his taste.
(Can only be used when all 10 rings are present)]
"Sure enough, it's from the comic verse, not the nerfed version of the cinematic verse. Plus, it came with Armour. Hell yeah!" Max jumped up in excitement, as these Mukluan Rings were only a level below Infinity Stones in power.
"Mwahahahaha! Now I am invincible! Hahahahaha!" Max laughed villainously.
Meanwhile, Pepper in the kitchen wondered, "I should ask my friends for advice; I feel worried for Max," murmured Pepper, hearing Max's weird laugh.
"Ahem, System, do two random rolls. I'm feeling lucky," Max said while admiring the ten simple platinum rings on his fingers.
[*Rolling sound*]
"Congratulations, Host, for obtaining Two Servant Template Cards," the System announced.
"Hmm, show me the details of this new prize," Max returned his focus to the system upon hearing about template cards.
[Servant Template Cards (Epic) *2: Allow the user to grant his servant the ability of otherworldly characters. (Only usable on someone other than Host)]
"Damn, from where should I get servants now," Max sighed, as his new reward proved temporarily unusable.
"Well, whatever. Show me details. Which characters are these cards actually?" Max put aside his worry as Mukluan or Shang-chi Rings were enough for now.
[Servant template: Souei
World: Tensura
Power rank: Pre-Demon Lord Rimuru
Job: Shadow Assassin]
[Servant Template: Sebas Tian
World: Overlord
Rank: Max Level Butler-shaped Guardian
Job: Perfect Butler]
"These two, huh? Both can be used as a Spy and Battle Butler, but, System, will whoever gets this Template be loyal to me?" Max asked, as both templates had the power to make anyone the same, if not above Captain America's level.
[Rest assured, Host. Anyone receiving this Template will become Host's loyal servant that can only be separated by Death.]
"Also, System, will they-the host, inherit the personalities of the characters?" Max asked, as Overlord characters basically didn't have any regard for human lives.
[They will inherit all positive traits, Host. Meaning, if Host gets a villain card next, it will become a hero in Host's hands, though the chance of obtaining template cards is 1 in 1000.]
"What a cocktail of good and bad news," Max said.
"System, can UP be used to upgrade my Race?" Max asked, half expectantly, as UP could be used universally.
[Yes, it can. It will require 1000 UP to go from Common to Uncommon Rank.]
"Profiteer system, are you sure you are not stealing?" Max cursed after seeing the price for evolution.
[Breaking the genetic code requires more Energy, Host, as it's balance-breaking after a certain point. Currently, no one will notice, but if you upgrade it to an Epic rank, Host will gain the attention of Cosmic Entities.]
"Gulp I was hoping for a simple upgrade. How did it become so troublesome?" Max wiped the sweat on his forehead after hearing the System.
"By the way, what advantages would I obtain after increasing my species rank to an uncommon grade?" Max asked, as it had to be something good if all those troubles were involved.
[Host will gain a 500% increase in intelligence and adaptability. The rest are 100% increases.]
"Okay, do it. An intelligence increase is enough for me to go on this dangerous path," Max said.
[Most important is adaptability, though, as it can allow Host to survive in harsh conditions.]
[Now proceeding with the upgrade. Host will be put to sleep in 10 seconds for smooth advancing.]
[7... 6... 5...]
Max quickly got into his bed upon hearing the countdown.
[3... 2... 1...]
