Capítulo 7: Understanding the new world
* Ding * "Congratulations to the user for defeating a zombie."
* 10 exp granted *
* 1 evolutionary credit granted *
Matthew was stunned on where he was standing, his legs felt numb and weak that he fell on his knees. The near-death experience was still so overwhelming that he only got up when he heard some noises coming from the stairs.
Fearing this might be another monster, he ran back to his room and locked himself. Still being frightened by everything that had just happened, he leaned his back against the door and slid himself down, sitting on the floor. Then, he took a deep breath to calm himself.
His mind was still replaying the battle that occured a few seconds ago. Feeling cheated that he fought with a strong zombie, he shouted at the system in his head.
"What the hell had just happened?! Wasn't that supposed to be the weakest monster?! Do the deities just want to kill us?!"
* Ding *
"You fool! How dare you use that tone to me? Besides, you only experienced so much danger because of your own stupidity and inexperience in combat."
"And from what humans appear to be less rational than anticipated, it is obvious that the higher beings want to kill you. There would be no fun for the higher beings if you had a chance against the monsters. They want to see you fall in despair while you try to survive."
What the system said was not wrong. It was because of his stupidity and inexperience in combat that he almost lost his life. Getting overly irritated towards the system wouldn't do him any good, too, so he took a deep breath again to calm down.
"Do the deities really care about how many people will die? What have we done wrong for the deities to punish us so cruelly?"
* Ding *
"I can cite countless reasons, but you would probably die of old age before I even finish them all. Anyway, the best reason I can give you is that higher beings want to have fun, simple as that."
It was as if Matthew could see the smugness plastered all over the system's face –if it had any, of course –and it only incited the frustration inside him further. With clenched fists, he swallowed his frustration and decided to ask an important question.
"My mana is empty now. How long will it take for my mana to regenerate? And, how can I improve my attributes, abilities, and weaponry?"
* Ding *
"The user, due to the WIS attribute, regenerates one mana point per hour. It is different from the other attributes as the AGI attribute, that even a minimum of 0.10 of each increment could increase its speed, the WIS attribute will only demonstrate its effects every a complete point, for example WIS: 1.00 or WIS: 2.00. And to each full point received, the user's mana regeneration will double."
"In order to improve his attributes, skills and mastery with weapons, the user will receive 5 attribute points and 1 skill point per leveling. Every 1 attribute point allocated will give 0.10 difference in attributes if the user has STR: 1,00 and allocating an attribute point, the user will have STR: 1.10, additional options also include training and cultivation."
It took Matthew a while to absorb the information and then asked the system, "Is there really going to be cultivation in this world? And wouldn't it take years for me to train and cultivate to an adequate level?"
* Ding *
"Responding to the user, yes, there will be cultivation in this world, although the main way to evolve is to kill monsters and absorb their evolving material, or sum up their exp."
"As this world is a newly evolved world, training and cultivation will be several times more effective than it would be in your previously known world. A training that usually would take decades could take only a few years."
After listening to the explanation provided by the system, Matthew started to plan his training carefully. For now, since he had no mana left in him, he decided to begin his training with the sword while waiting for his mana to refuel.
