3 Chapter 2

The world seems to have turned into some sort of game. Monsters spawned all over the place, System notices started appearing and loot started dropping from kills.

This feels kind of surreal.

If the world is a game, then there should be an interface to help play the game right? Following that logic, I tried the most useful command I could think of to check if it works.

"Help"

Nothing.

"Options"

Nothing.

"Menu"

Nothing.

"Status"

And it worked.

So this is me, huh?

No matter how accurate people claim aptitude tests or IQ tests are, they are prone to errors. This however is probably the most accurate description of both my strengths and weaknesses I'll ever get and it's not too shabby if I do say so myself.

It's been so long since anyone called me by my name that I've forgotten it. Which is why the name being [Unchosen] didn't bring much of a shock.

Is it a result of me not knowing my name or is it a chance given to everyone by the System?

Then the anonymous title caught my attention. I tried to select it when another screen appeared in front of my status.

Thought command Interface?

[Anonymous]

[You have been denied your identity and carried on with no name nor alias to define you.

Grants the ability to choose a name]

Well that's one mystery solved.

So I can choose a new name for myself now? I dismissed the screen and it disappeared then I focused on the [Unchosen] part of my status and another screen appeared.

[Assign a name to your avatar]

Warning: Names hold power over fate and destiny.

Choose Wisely.

I can‎'t just choose a random name with that kind of warning. I need a name that holds power but not too weird sounding. A name I will carry with me throughout the rest of life…

"Asura," I said as clearly as possible after a moment of thought.

[Name Assigned]

Title Lost: [Anonymous]

Title Gained: [Path Maker]

I guess I'm no longer [Anonymous] since I chose a name. Which means some titles have a onetime use, I'll keep that in mind. The new title also sounds useful; I wonder what it does.

[Path Maker]

Your decisions are yours to make, whether they be good or evil, you walk your own path.

[ You are immune to direct mental control caused by ascended beings.

Gain extra 10% experience ]

It almost sounds too good to be true after all I just chose my name. Then again names are usually given not chosen. Either way, I appreciate all the help I can get.

The rest of my status seemed normal except my health and regenerations. They seemed a bit… monstrous. I mean, I knew I can heal fast after what they did to me but not this fast. I could literally change from being at death's door, 1 health, to full health in 22 minutes. If I also take the normal health to be 100 then I have more than triple the normal amount. Although I won‎‎'t reject any bonuses I can get.

The other stats feel pitiful in comparison though.

I still feel Like this information is lacking something… Something that is essential in any game I've ever played. Something that defines a character.

Skills! I thought.
