บท 2: Chapter 2 - Extra07

It took me a while to regain control over my numb brain and think rationally.

First, this system is here to assist me in completing the story which means saying goodbye to a normal life.

I know the story is not complete but why brag an innocent reader like me to complete it?

I was not the only one who messaged the author for suddenly going on hiatus. There were tons of other readers who complained as much as I did or even more than me.

Second, this system knows how I got here. Maybe if I asked the system it would tell me more.

" Mr. system can you please tell me how I crossed into this world and how can I go back to my original world." ( David )

[ Ding ]

[the authority of the host is not sufficient to know about this information. Please raise your authority to a sufficient level.]

What the hell is authority and what does it have anything to do with my question? Bad review.

Somehow I suppressed my rage and tried to ask the system in a polite tone.

" Mr. system what is the authority and how do I raise it." ( David )

[ Ding]

[ authority is kind of right host has over the system. The higher the authority more the functions and information the host can get. ]

[ to raise the authority host has to get involved with the storyline and characters. The system will judge the host's contribution or involvement in the story and increase the authority based on it.]

So in other words get involved with the story to know more.

So getting killed in an accident or dying by taking poison results remains the same despite the process. You die.

So no matter what I must get involved with the storyline and charters.

But here is a catch. If I have to keep the story the same as the novel and make sure it follows the same plot I might commit suicide now.

The butterfly effect is no joke. Just my transmigration may have changed many things at an unknown level so keeping the story the same as the novel is impossible.

" Mr. system can I talk to you with my thoughts or mind instead of verbal way. Another question is do I have to keep the story in its original plot or I can change the plot according to myself." ( David )

[ Ding ]

[ for the first question host can use whatever method he wants to communicate with the system.]

[ as for the second question host only needs to ensure that the story progresses and gets a proper ending. The process and plot can be kept as the original one or the host can change it as he likes or as he wants.]

[ as long as the host gets involved in the storyline system will consider it as the host is trying to complete the main task.]

Reading system messages a huge burden gets lifted off my shoulders. As long as the original MC stays alive the plot will progress eventually.

'Mr. system can I call you 07 in future. What functions do you have?' ( David ) { A/N - ' ' will be used when characters use their mind or thoughts to speak or speak to themselves in their mind.}

[ Ding ]

[ host can use whatever name he wants or likes. There are currently these functions usable by the host according to the host's current authority.]

[ status, system space ( 2 cu/m ), quest room]

==========

In this world, every ranker has the thing called a "Status Window". With it, they can digitally see their abilities and plan better for future development.

Mine is more detailed than the others and has some new info.

Nothing seems out of place until you see the word cursed in status.

Why the hell am I cursed? Who do I mess with and who has this much hatred for me to cast such a vicious curse?

With a trembling voice, I questioned the system.

' 07 why is there a curse on me?' ( David )

[ Ding ]

[ due to insufficient authority system can not tell the source of the curse and its information. The curse is suspended by the system for 1 month and if the host does not get rid of it or does something to weaken the curse in 1 month this curse will slowly kill the host most painfully. Good luck to the host.]

I blankly looked at the system answer and almost had a heart attack.

I only have 1 month to do something about a forbidden level curse. Jokes aside when a forbidden word is used to describe anything it means it is not allowed to be messed with and to my great luck I found such a thing on the first day I travelled to the new world.

I did not even know curse rank so how can I even destroy it?

Take a deep breath and calm down I still have a month to think of a solution so try not to die due to fear.

I once again looked at my status window to see if I could find some other scary or weird stuff like this curse. On the other hand, why not use the system to do it for me?

' 07 can you explain each part in my status board in brief.' ( David )

[ Ding ]

[ the name shows the name of the host. The level after the name shows the authority level of the host. It is level 0 now.]

[ the title shows the unique nameplate or a unique name granted after completing some tasks or meeting some conditions. The age shows the age of the host.]

[ rank shows the actual rank of the host. Potential shows the limit or the highest rank a host can achieve according to his talent or other factors.]

[ affinity shows the compatibility the host has with the elements. 0 to 30% is low-level affinity, 31 to 60% is medium-level affinity, and 61 to 90% is high-level affinity. 91 to 100% is pure affinity]

[ talent is the special gift or blessing one can awaken anytime. Be it just after birth, during the awakening of mana core, expressing the life and death situation, and many other things can cause a person to awaken or acquire talent.]

[ bloodline is a special form of energy that one can have or awaken later. Bloodlines are nothing but hidden powers accumulated or passed from one generation to another through genetics.]

[Anybody can awaken a bloodline depending upon many factors. Bloodlines are ranked into iron, bronze, silver, gold, diamond, platinum, and divine. ]

[ stats are stats that show the physical and magical properties of the host. ]

[ special state shows a blessing, buff, debuff, curse, etc. It can also show if the host is in any abnormal condition or not. Only the host has it due to the system.]

[Manual skills are the skills learned by practicing or mastering the technique created by the rankers or found in the dungeons. Manual skills are divided from tier 1 to tier 9. Tier 1 is the lowest and Tier 9 is the highest. ]

[ skills are the skills learned by using skill books found in the dungeon and other places. The skill book is divided into two categories and they are divided from Rank F to Rank SSS. It is further divided into the Fixed skill book and growth skill book.]

[ fixed skill books limit is fixed. The skill obtained by using the skill book will remain the same rank as the skill book. Old skills can be replaced with other higher-level skill books but the replaceable skill needs to reach a perfect level of proficiency. Every ranker has a limit on how much skill they can learn using the skill book.]

[ growth level skills have no limit to their rank. As long as they are used or practiced by rankers continuously skill level and proficiency will increase too. Using the same skill book can increase the proficiency of the existing skills.]

[ skill points can be used to increase the level of skill mastery level or to learn new skills quickly. Can only be used on manual skills. Only the host has it due to the system]

[ quest room shows and gives the quest to the host which can give good rewards after completion but be aware of the penalty for failing the quest. ]

Well, it is a very detailed introduction.

I can feel the power inside me. So this is called a RANKER. People who can awaken a special core that allows them to wield mana and do things that are impossible for normal humans to do.

I think my rank got some boost due to my taking over David's body.

But the problem is why do my talent and bloodline are sealed? There is also an option for me to select another talent. Normally only one talent can be awakened. Till now nobody except some special cases can awaken a dual talent. Is this the benefit of a reincarnation?

I asked the system about my doubts.

' 07 Why is my talent and bloodline sealed and there is an extra slot for my talent? Can you explain please?' ( David )

[ Ding ]

[host's talent and bloodline are sealed due to some reasons. To know about the reason the host needs to increase his authority. The host can complete the quest related to them to unlock them.]

[ due to the merging of two souls host can have another talent but to draw talent host has to complete the quest which rewards the opportunity to get talent.]

Again I have to complete the quest but the thing is how do I get the quest?

[ Ding ]

[ host has triggered the quest. Braking the ban.]

[ name - breaking the ban

Description - The host has a sealed bloodline and talent which is not good for the future development of the host so the system is giving this quest to the host to unlock the hidden potential of the host.

Condition - The host has to get a tier 7 or above manual skill or rank S or above skill book. Only by getting the skill can be counted as completion no need to learn the skill.

Reward - lifting the ban on both talent and bloodline.

Time limit - 1 Month

Wow, I got 2 quests at the same time. The first is surely hard to complete.

High-level skills are hard to find especially those above tier 6. Those are precious enough to cause wars if not handled properly.

But using my knowledge of novels I can still manage to get it so there is nothing to worry about for now.

This quest can also solve my curse problem so it is like 2 birds In one quest.

As for the other quest, it is way easier compared to the first one but if I want to complete it fast I have to put in lots of effort.

I sorted David's memories for some more time to get more familiar with them then started to work on the next steps.

First I grabbed a tablet that has no connection to the internet or other things that may hack it from outside.

I write down the whole story so as not to forget it and for some reason, I can remember the whole novel perfectly but my other memories are not that clear compared to my memories related to the novel.

There must be a reason for it but I do not think the system will tell me if I ask it so leave it till I have enough authority.

After hours of hard work, I wrote down the full novel in my mother tongue which may not exist anymore.

The new language spoken by all humans is called mana language. It is found in the dungeon and said to be the common language for all mana-related stuff so it is taken as must must-learn language nowadays.

Fortunately, I have David's memories, or else I would be blank about this language.

After that, I downloaded quest-related books from the internet for some money.

Finding that it was already midnight I decided to take a proper rest.

I put the tab in the system space and lay down on the bed.

In some seconds I fell asleep.
