19 Elizabeth! (3)
…
"So Beautiful!"
I find myself in a great desert with snow-white sand, with large trees that appear to be made of some kind of red crystal.
Looking up, a big purple sky with some shades of lilac and some streaks of green, and right in the center of the sky two big spheres, one red and one blue.
"This sky looks like a Northern Lights! Are these two spheres suns? Oh, so this planet has two suns! This is cool!
Hmm… looking at the position of the red sun, if we were on earth now it would be 12 PM! However, this planet has two suns.
So I don't know, how long is the day on this planet!
Does it have a cycle equal to that of the Earth or is it a shorter period equal to that of Jupiter?
I hope it is not like Venus! Otherwise, it will be a pain, to organize myself!"
I look at the sky while I think about it.
Suddenly, I start to feel that something is wrong, and shift my view of the sky to my body
"Why am I feeling a breeze down here? Huh?"
When I look down, I find out why I feel the breeze, are my clothes or in this case the lack of them
"Elizabeth my dear, answer me one little thing... Where are my clothes?
Fuck! You literally created me a body! Well, looking closely, you only did a copy!
After all, this body looks exactly like the body I had before I died, you even took the trouble to copy my scars!"
I start looking at my body, looking to see if all the scars I had are still in the same place
However, I soon realize that again I ended up distracting myself with something useless
"Wait, this is not important now! First, I have to find something to cover myself!"
I start looking around for something that I can use to cover myself
However, after a few minutes I find nothing, and decide that I need to leave the desert
I stop and start looking around me
At this time, I realize that to the north on the horizon
There is something that resembles a forest
"It doesn't seem that far I think I'll be there in a few minutes if I run! Sigh...
Well, there's no use complaining now...
It's as they say:
The human being is a being that adapts!
Throw a man on a desert island, and he learns to fish, build a twig house and even build a raft!
Throw a man into a desert, and he learns how to eat poisonous creatures he shouldn't, and how to find water!
Throw a man into a volcano, and he learns that he shouldn't, have been thrown into a volcano being burned alive!
Each of these men learned important things! Well, I think the latter learned and soon forgot!"
I stay silent, for a while thinking about how philosophical I have just been
However, I soon remember that I have to test before I leave the desert
"How does it work I have to say it out loud or just think? Let's just try!"
I get serious, take a deep breath and scream
"It's Morphin Time… Dragonzord!"
I remain silent waiting to see if something happens.
However, after almost a minute nothing happens
Realizing I was waiting in vain, I sigh and think
'Sight! Well, let's try it your way Elizabeth… Status!'
The instant I think in that word, a blue screen appears in the air in front of my eyes

==========================================
I try to touch the blue screen, but the instant my hand touch the screen, it simply passes through the screen, as if the blue screen was just a hologram
Realizing this, I put my hand on my chin and whisper to myself
"Interesting, so I can't physically interact with my status screen! So, how am I supposed to distribute, what Attribute Points will I earn when I level up?"
I remain silent looking at the screen, while thinking about it.
A few seconds later, I find a solution
"Huehue, I don't know why I was so concerned about this, when the answer is so obvious!
To open this screen I just need to think. So, to interact with the status screen, it must be the same way!
That is, I just need to think, about the action I want to do!"
After reaching this conclusion, I start to observe my status and notice that there are two items that I haven't seen before
"What are these options for? <Encyclopedia > and <Available Titles>?"
Quickly, I also notice that beside these two options there is a little +
Then, I try to use my mind to click on the + next to the <Encyclopedia > option, but nothing happens
"Strange, I thought something was going to appear, it looks like I was wrong!"
Although I'm still a little frustrated that nothing happened, I resolve to click on the + of the <Available Titles> option
The instant I do this, the option expands and a long list appears
"Huehuehue! It looks like I was right!"
==========================================
<Available Titles>
-An Unlucky Existence!
-Not Number 44!
-Robustness of a Cockroach!
-I Don't Know These Women!
-Jester!

-The Greatest Deadbeat!
-Heroic Soul!
-The One Who Deceived a God!
==========================================
I spend some time in silence, looking at the list and the first thing I think when I see the names of the titles contained in the list is
'Why do I only have suspicious titles? Well, maybe it's just the title name that's bad! Yeah, maybe the titles have really cool effects!
It's like they say… Don't judge a book by its cover!'
Having successfully managed to cheer myself up, I focus on the first title, and a short description appears
<An Unlucky Existence!>
[Title acquired, after the user born with extremely bad luck!]
[Equipping this title gives the user a 50% bonus on Luck attribute!]
[Note: There is a small chance that all beings within a radius of up to 100 meters from the user, have their Luck temporarily set to 0!]
"Fuck who invented this metaphor! Damn, the book cover is horrible and the content is even worse!"
After swearing involuntarily, I remain silent as I look at the blue screen with blank eyes.
I stay like this for almost a minute, when I recover, the first thing I do is to sigh
"Sigh! I have the impression that I have discovered the source of all my problems! This is something very shocking. So I'm going to ignore what I just read!"
After reaching that conclusion, I quickly start to think about what I should do
'Hmm… probably the [Title] item has nothing on the front, because I still need to equip a title!
Following the logic of this one, each title gives a different bonus!
As I obviously am not going to equip this title, let's look at the others and choose one!'
Filled with anticipation, I use my mind to expand on all the suspicious titles and start reading them one by one
