3 Stats
Taking a deep breathe Gordon, quietly deduces what he learnt from the system. However, without waiting for Gordon to interrupt, the system's voice echoes into his head.
[Regarding the reason you the Host was transported here, that I do not know. However, it is certainly the safest, as currently the rank you are now, is very lacking compared to others, because right now you are weaker than the average human child, as just by aging to adults humans are ranked Mortal, being between the tiers of middle or high. Furthermore, as all races people train to become stronger following dreams and ambitions, depending on the human you meet you may face grave danger as inside your body resides something special, If you were to offend or be found out, you'll be killed without a chance to defend, so presently we are in luck as the aura/presence of the creature scares most other beings away]
*Huh interesting* Gordon raising his eyebrows, *System, I'm special right? Meaning I have a hidden power or something?*
[Most likely, Host but your body is the special one, yet I do not know what it is to be exact...] The System pauses before speaking again [But I Just know that it is special...], continuing [Yet regarding your body we will figure it out in the future, as for some reason you have an overabundant compatibility with it, making it as if you created with it, or as if the body itself was meant for you...]
Focusing on the information of the system being 'unknowing', Gordon smirks, while responding sarcastically out loud but in an inside voice..
"So there's something you don't know?"
Expressing a seemingly sad voice the system responds
[Host there are a lot of things I do not know, as I have only been given some knowledge about this world, in order to help allow you the Host to develop an understanding. Other than that, I am just as clueless about this world as you are, meaning I too will learn and improve with you...]
A moment goes by, with silence of the system's explanation, feeling a bit apologetic Gordon attempts to break the silence.
"Sorry.... Yep, umm... uh System, in the novels I read in the past usually the main characters get the uhh... Memories of their bodies, do I get memories or something too?"
[No Host, this body has its memories wiped clean for some reason...]
"How, why?!"
[That Host is something I do not know]
"Then do I have parents or something"
[Yes , Host as this body wasn't given to you by a God but is in fact a body that recently became deceased, meaning you could be called a transmigrator... Then again your parent's or relatives or anyone that knows this body could be the reason or part of the reason this body died or past memories are blank, as a theory the erase of memory is used to cover the tracks of someone.]
"....."
[But then again Host, this body died from starvation, so my words are invalid]
*.....You motherf-*
Gordon curses the system deeply within his heart for scaring him
Attempting to stray away from a weird yet dark topic Gordon asks, "Anyways, how old am I and what rank would a person my age be?"
[Host, the current age of your body is 16 years old, yet the average rank of those around your age should be around Mortal (low tier), yet could also be more higher ranked depending on how talented or hard working they are...]
"Well do I have skills or abilities or something, like... uhh.. something that allows me to see my stats"
Pausing before talking again Gordon displays a warm smile as if reminiscing about something
"Because system I can't wait to be a...a.. -- A Necromancer!"
*That felt weird....*
"When I was little it was my dream..... Fighting.... Bodies an- and- and ho----"
Interrupting Gordon's speech before its plans go awry, the system explains Gordon's question of skills [HOST!! You have skills given to you by me... To view your 'stats' please either yell or think of the words "Self - Appraisal", a window should pop up in your mind, or in your field of vision depending on which way you would like to see your status, you can change it by saying/thinking "Appraisal Change View"]
"Yes Sir" Following the system's instructions, Gordon thinks of the words "Self - Appraisal". Suddenly a thin white screen appears in his head, inscribed on it presents his stats. Admiring the appearance of the screen, Gordon slowly reads over his own stats.

Carefully reading his information, Gordon exclaims to the System
"I have mana??? System is this a game?"
[No Host, this is REALITY not a game, if you die, you die for real, there is no third chance]
By connecting dots, Gordon looks to the skills section of the stats. *System, my skills are graded? I'm assuming from S, A, B, C, D, E, F, am I right?*
[Host you are half right, as above the grade of S there is also SS and SSS]
Having a strange urge to tease the system, Gordon asks a stupid question
*System your not a skill?*
[Host, I am my own being yet I am a part of you, one with you. Yet I am not a skill as I am an intelligent System gifted to you, in order to help and support you for who knows why. I am created from a being higher than God, yet gifted to you by a God. Your luck is pretty good.... But is it fate?]
Making a blank expression, Gordon deeply regretted his idea, by only listening to the System ramble on, the knowledge stuffed into his brain felt like exploding. He was deeply confused....
Following his confusion, Gordon uses his tiny bit of sanity to ask another question
"System, why do I have the skills of martial arts, weapon mastery and so on??"
[Host that is because... I gave you those skills... in order to defend yourself and to become a truly powerful being...]
"Than why are some graded higher than others?"
[Host I can not answer that question... As I do not know....]
Feeling a bit weird, Gordon brushes off the System's reply and finally gets up from the floor, stretching his body scanning the room to look for a place to sit, he asks another question for the System regarding his stats "System is there a way to view the details or explanation of my skills to know what they do?"
[Yes Host, like the process of using the skill, please think or say the words "Appraisal Skills"]
Thinking of his own skills, an list of details suddenly appears on the screen

Gordon asks somewhat simple questions in quick and rapid succession..
"System how do I know, how to use my skills? Not the physical ones like Martial arts.. or the passive ones but the ones that require mana"
[Host your skills will activate, just like how your skill Appraisal works... when you want to use them, it will activate]
"System how do I get more mana?"
[Host your mana will naturally increase when you age, rank up, or when you improve or even use your skills that are related to mana]
"How do I upgrade my skills?"
[Host you can upgrade them just by using them and gaining understanding/ raising proficiency of their use, Host depending on the person some skills are harder to train, yet some others might be easier to improve. But one thing for sure, is that the higher grade the skill is, the harder it is to upgrade its grade]
After having all of his questions and curiosity finally satisfied, Gordon stands up while shouting in frustration for his last question "Lastly System, WHY AM I SO GOD DAMN HUNGRY AND THIRSTY!??"
In an annoyed tone the system slowly responds to the frustrated Host
[Host I have answered this question before, this body died from starvation before you took over]
