5 Chapter 5 - Ready For An Adventure!
Theo began to walk around slowly, his mind was brewing with imaginations of all the possibilities he could do with his system!
"Wait.. I haven't yet to use the skill books I just bought!" with a palm slap to his forehead, Theo's excitement began to gradually calm down as he focused himself to try these system of his and its abilities.
He began to ponder for awhile as to how he could learn the skill books that he just bought. He then recalled the numerous wuxia novels he had read where the MC usually had some kind of dimensional items and the sorts to put stuff in.
"With the system, I should have a dimensional inventory to store stuff away from the physical world..". He willed onto his inventory and the system interface opens up.
[Ting!]
"Yup I was right!", excitement bubbling up again, he browsed through the screen in his inventory system.

/// INVENTORY \\\
Basic Sword Art x1 (Not yet learned)
Basic Magic Ward x1 (Not yet learned)
----------------------------------------------------------------
"..."
Theo was a bit prickled in the heart when he only saw those two in his inventory.
"Well.. Im just starting out, so this should be expected", Theo was feeling a little bit disappointed that the deity didn't give him any surprise gifts in his inventory and consoled to himself. However, he suddenly got an inspiration that could cause the world to bend and twist.
"System, with this inventory, can I store any physical object in it?", Theo couldn't help but to ask about this first.
He was worried that he could only store stuff that he bought from the system.
[Ting!]
[Responding to host's inquiries.]
[Affirmative, it is possible to store any forms of physical inanimate object inside the inventory. Living beings and rooted object however, are impossible to be stored.] replied the system in a mechanical voice.
Hearing this, Theo broke out into an evil laugh.
"Mwahaha! Marvelous!" Theo exclaimed gleefully. His brains are popping out with ideas on how to exploit this inventory ability of his.
By such logic, virtually any stuff in this world could be stored in his inventory. Regardless who owns them.
[Ting!]
[The system has detected that the host are scheming something evil: To commit to petty theft and robbery. Report has been sent to the deity.]
Theo was shocked to see this notification from the system. Sweat started to form on his forehead as he tried to explain things to the system.
"H-hey! system my friend! Don't be rash! There is no need to report such small things! Come come! L-let us discuss about how to split.."
Before he could even finish his sentence, the system rang him with sounds. This time, it sounded like an alert alarm.
[Trrrrrrtttt!]
[The deity has responded to this report.]
[The deity has issued an ultimatum: The host must abandon this line of thought immediately, failure to do so shall bear the consequences of being castrated on the spot!]
...
"F*ck!" Theo was now feeling helpless that his holy ambitions were suppressed by the deity. He thought as to how the deity was too underhanded in its means to impose such threat to him.
Castration? He secretly swore in his minds that if the deity's father was still around, he would find ways to get even in the future. How dare this little deity tried to turn him into an eunuch! What gall!
As he turned his attention back towards the two skill books that he have in his inventory, he willed on his mind to 'Learn' both the [Basic Sword Art] and [Basic Magic Ward].
[Ting!]
[Basic Sword Art skill has been learned.]
[Ting!]
[Basic Magic Ward skill has been learned.]
Theo then willed the system to look at his skills again.
[Ting!]
----------------------------------------------------------------
/// SKILLS \\\
Basic Sword Art (Lv1) (Exp 0/100)
Basic Magic Ward (Lv1) (Exp 0/100)
---------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey hey! What is with this simplistic interface.." exclaimed Theo feeling unsatisfied.
"System! Explain to me what this skill [Basic Sword Art (Lv1)] can do."
Theo felt that the details behind each skill was non-existent and he wasn't sure to what extent it might be able to protect him from harm.
[Ting!]
[Responding to host inquiries.]
[The skill [Basic Sword Art (Lv1)] can currently enable the host to engage in combat with weak entities. Host are advised to only hunt entities of level in the range between Lv1 to Lv5 with this skill. Increasing usage of the skill will successively increases its level and strengthens its lethality.]
[The skill [Basic Magic Ward (Lv1)] can currently enable the host to withstand 90% basic magic attack (Lv1). Protection effectiveness will decrease by 40% for each increasing spell attack level. Basic projectile attack from arrows will be negated completely. Increasing the skill level will allow greater protection against higher tier levelled spell attack.]
[Ting!]
[Functions to view the details of each skills and abilities has been added. To check, click the + button.]
Seeing this details himself, Theo nodded in satisfaction as such information can now be accessed by the tip of his fingers anytime.
"I should at least level up myself first so that if I were to be challenged later on just in case, I would not be humiliated and lose my image." as he thought of this, he couldn't help but to be more determined. After all, if he was weak and defeated in a brawl, all of his acts would be exposed and his image tattered. He would become a laughingstock!
Who would want to be under his rule by then with such reputation?
Thus, remembering the Great Forest the Gosu fella has mentioned before, he was sure that it is where the monsters dwell. He then opened up his map and set up his bearings.
With everything set, he looked towards the sky in a 45 degrees angle with his fist clenched tight, seeming as if a lonely sage that was determined to fight until his final breath, creating an image of a breath-taking upright hero.
"Sh*t! I need to pee!" he shouted in his mind as he skid-daddle his way into the nearby bushes to take a leak.
