Skills

That was alot to take in.

Firstly, my mother just died.

Secondly, I ruined my second chance at life by randomly selecting and choosing trash skills.-the only skill that is somewhat useful is time manipulation.

Yes, I do feel very sad about my mothers death but we never really bonded enough for me to 'mourn' over her. (scum)

Im more concerned about the skills I picked.

"Uhm, would i be able to repick my skills?"

[No.]

Ugh

[Would you like me to explain each skill to you?] The system suggests.

"Why not I guess."

It would be beneficial to me if I know the uses of my skills.

[Firstly time manipulation, currently you can only rewind, fast forward time or see into the future for five seconds. As you level up the skill more uses/options will end available.]

[You will be able to retain all your memories and senses after manipulating time. Yet, you will only be able to use this skill once every twelve hours.]

Wow, and here I was thinking this was the only good skill I chose.

It's completely trash!

Five seconds!? How would that even possibly help me change anything?!

Even if I know what's going to happen in the future for five seconds how will that change anything? It's not as if I have super fast reflexes!.- I should have picked that as a skill.

And I can only use it once every 12 hours? It's as good as not even having a skill.

[Secondly, you chose wealth....]

Damn it just has to mock me doesn't it.

[You will be paid 50pligrims for every ten beasts you kill. The amount of pilgrims you receive will increase as your level increases.]

--

A pilgrim is one of the currencies in this world. A pilgrim is equivalent to five us dollars. This how their currency compares to that of Americas

A pilgrim- five dollars

A prink- a dollar

A deker- a cent

My mouth was wide open, with drool dripping from the sides of it.

Even just thinking about the money gave me shivers.

Forget about yearly, I can pay for ten years of gistro for my kitten!

Aren't we even married at that point!?

I was beet red thinking of ten years with my kitty. She was already threatening to leave me if I don't pay this year's bill but now she'll never leave me!

[And lastly, recruit.]

I dont really have much hope for this skill, I picked it randomly after all.

[The skill recruit, will give you the ability to manipulate and compromise people's thoughts after gaining their full trust. Later in the future you will also be able to control people's actions]

I look at the system in shock. And here I was thinking this was the worst out of the three skills I chose.

ITS THE BEST!

The potential this skill holds! Even though I can currently only manipulate people's thoughts. I can do so many things because of that! I could even get a girlfriend by making someone think I'm attractive!

I sigh.

"Wow, it's really amazing how only I have a system." I say to the system in Glee ."I'm quite special aren't I?"

[...]

[You really don't know?]

"Know what?" I ask curiosly.

[...]

[Everyone has a system...]

"Are you being serious right now?"

[Yes.]

"Oh... WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK!?"

**

It all makes sense now, from people at school pointing/touching at the air. To people bragging about this thing called 'stats'

How didn't I notice this?

[I knew you were a loner but I didn't expect it to be this bad..]

"Wait, then why didn't I have a system??"

[Minor extras do not receive systems.]

Well I guess that does make sense.

"Then how is my system any different from theirs?"

[Well, other people only hace access to one skill. Major heroes or villains will also have access to an attribute- elemental/magical power.]

"And I dont receive an attribute?"

[Yes.]

"And how many skills does the protagonist get?"

["He is allowed a maximum of ten.]

TEN!?

"THIS IS SO UNFAIR HOW AM I EVEN EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO DEFEAT HIM!?"

[You aren't.]

[Your destiny is to be killed by the protagonist after all.]

What? This just got way more unfair. I didn't sign up for this!

"I WANT A REFUND" I say screaming at the system.

It would have been better if I didn't even get the system if I'll end up dying. I would have lived a silent comfortable life with my kitten- gistcord kitten.

[Sorry but no take backs.]

[Well, I should be going now.]

"Going where? Aren't you supposed to be my system?" I ask.

[Me? Your system? Don't make me laugh. You can just refer to me as your assistant.]

[Well I'mma head out now! And I left you a little gift!]

"What.."

The former black system changed to the color blue and it displayed the following.

I raise my head up and see my new system. Unlike the previous color which was black, the system is light blue in color.

"So this is how a normal system looks huh?" I say to myself.

I notice the area which showed my skills. All of them where level one.

Also all my stats are level one.

"Damned system it couldn't even give me a head start" I say clenching my fists.

That system it said something about gift, didn't it?

~nya

I look at the floor and notice a small black cat at the sole of my shoe.

It had gray eyes and a symbol on it's head.

Wasn't it the symbol which was on the previous system?

Could this be the gift he was talking about?

I am truly dissapointed in the system, here I was thinking the gift would be something valuable like money or a harem of women, but a kitten!? It really doesn't know what I like.

I squat seductively.

You can never be to sure something isn't a prank.

The cat had a note attached to it's colar

"Hello, it's the system. I noticed you were thinking about a cat so I got you one. This is not really a gift, it's something that comes with the recruit skill. You will only be able to recruit or at least attempt to recruit humans after you have successfully recruited this animal." I say reading the letter out loud.

"Name me you dimwit."

"What? Did I hear that correctly the cat just talked!?"

"Yeah no shit Sherlock didn't you just hear me talk?"

The cat says. It had the voice of a female child but the aggressive tone of a middle aged man.

Well, since it asked me to name it I probably should.

"How about..."
