4 How did I even got it?!
Few hours later.
After a fit of hysteria, Stephen decided, that for the time being, it's better not pay attention to those details. He was afraid that if he think more into this, he will become crazy for sure. That's why avoidance is the best solution for now. Probably...
Thinking like this, Stephen asked.
"System, can you tell me details about this 'Game Of New Gods'?"
[Ding! Although I can, but I don't think it's a good idea right now.]
"Why is that?" asked confused Stephen.
[Ding! Because host wasted too much time on self-reproach and hysteria, so right now you don't have any more time to waste. First game will begin in 30 minutes. It's better to spend it on more useful things rather than on long explanation]
"And whose fault is THAT?!", shouted Stephen.
Ignoring annoying host, system continued.
[Well, long story short, it's something like 'Veni, Vidi. Vici'. You will receive quests, after completion of which you will get rewards. Rewards can be game points, skills, items, etc. There is a system shop available, where host can spend his game points.]
[Right now I recommend to the host to look at your status screen and buy necessary things for the first game inside the shop.]
Seeing that Stephen again was on the verge of hysteria, system decided to stop teasing its host and seriously began to work.
Taking a few deep breaths, Stephen thought to himself 'Status'.
Transparent window appeared in front of his eyes. There were displayed various information about him, so Stephen decided to become acquainted with it, so that he could make better preparations for the upcoming game.

Looking at his status screen Stephen shouted
"I knew it!"
"What's with this 'Bad Luck Curse'?! How did I even got it?!"
"System, are you playing tricks with me again?!"
Stephen didn't even knew what to think about it. He really did got some kind of curse. He couldn't even fathom how he managed to get it. It's simply unscientific!
[Ding! No, host. System don't have authority to modify the status screen under any circumstances.]
[Once again reminder for the host. You don't have much time left. Host can lament his destiny again after finishing preparations]
Stephen immediately retracted his faraway dead fish gaze and once again focused on the status screen before his eyes. He understood that if he will waste more time, he might as well give up everything now, before it even begun.
"System, how is my status compared to other players?", Stephen decided to ask.
[Ding! All Main stats of an average person are equal to 5. So, some stats of host are lower and some are higher than that of an average person. Omitting your curse and negative luck, everything about the host is average], replied system.
Once again looking at his information, Stephen noticed something unusual.
"What about bloodline? Why is there displayed [Unknown] and not [None] like it should probably be?", Stephen tried to confirm from system.
[Ding! Host should remember that system once mentioned about selection conditions for a participants. There are no ordinary people among selected participants. Geniuses, distant descendants of Gods, people with extraordinary abilities, etc. That's why it's not something unusual to have [Unknown] bloodline.]
[It can be a new bloodline or some kind of mutation happened to the original bloodline, so that it can't be identified. Even many other reasons.]
[That's why you shouldn't pay attention to the bloodline for now.]
[Once it awakens, you will be able to understand more about your bloodline], explained system.
'Yeah, let's not waste time on useless things now', thought Stephen.
"You are right system. Let's forget about it for now. So, what should I expect from the 1st game?"
