2 Sorting Through the System
The morning was a blur. Xander woke up and found himself in a three year old body, in a cupboard under the stairs. He was awakened by a woman trying to imitate a banshee and has since spent his morning in the summer sun working in the garden.
'I have only been called a freak so far, but it doesn't take a genius to know where I am' Xander thought to himself 'but where is it…' Xander tried to look into himself, to feel the thing that was supposed to be his 'cheat'
"System?" he called out warily
[What can I do for you host] the monotone voice of the system replied
Xander almost danced a little happy dance right there, but held it in to avoid his 'family'
'Can you hear me?' he asked in his mind
[Affirmative host] the System replied
'Great, can you open the inventory for me please?' Xander requested
[Affirmative] as the system replied, a window opened to show several small squares three with items in them and the rest are blank
Xander found that he can access the information on each of them through his thought. He checked the items he had
[HP starter's pack]
[Special tickets] x5
[Dante's note]
Xander looked at his items 'open Dante's note' he commanded. A screen opened in front of Xander containing the note
[Dear Xander
As I was careless in my handling of your revival, please accept the five Special tickets I gift you. These tickets will give you higher grade items/summons/equipment ets. And I advise you to use them right after opening the starter's pack and your five rounds of daily lottery.
Best regards
Dante]
Xander closed the window and addressed the system 'if I open the starter's pack, will everything in it be stored in the inventory?'
[Affirmative]
'Great, open it please' Dante commanded
[Opening HP starter's pack]

-------------------
Xander's hands were moving, but his mind was a blank 'how the fuck is that a starter's pack?' I ask the system
[My creators, Dante and Solomon, have a higher than average standard and genuinely believe this to be the basics of the basics] the system explained, Xander thought he heard a tinge of pride in there some where
'Never mind, I am thankful for that, it might help me get rid of this soul shard lodge in my head' Dante responded 'could you explain the last three?'
[Affirmative. Potion of the Fed will remove all effects of malnourishment from the drinker. Attuned Wand Lottery ticket can be used to acquire a random wand that is compatible with host, advised to use after using the special tickets. The Grimoire is a book that contains all spells created by host. It can be bound with the host. It can be used as foci]
'Do I need foci to use magic?' Harry asked being bothered
[Negative, it is however difficult due to the level of magic control that is needed, that the foci can supplement] the system explained
'I see' Xander released a deep Sigh 'Would you kindly open the lottery page'
[Affirmative] Xander saw a page where all his lottery tickets are placed in a particular order
The first group is the daily lottery tickets 'please use the daily spins' Dante commanded
*ping* [Daily Lottery x5 used]
[Kitchen knife] (Grey)
[Iron Ingot x 5] (Grey)
[Programing Language proficiency] (Green)
[Basic Boxing proficiency] (Green)
[Omni internal Energy Control proficiency] (Purple)
The five items showed themselves in a window in front of me, where the first two were grey, the next two were green and the last was Purple 'System, what does the colour coding mean?' I asked
[The basic results of the lottery will be divided depending on the rarity of the result. It goes grey, green, blue, purple, orange and red, with it being the highest level]
Looking at the results I ask 'can you tell me what the last one, the purple skill, is?'
[Affirmative. Omni Energy Control proficiency allows host the control over all energy generated by host with utmost skill] the system explains
After a moment of thought I confirm 'so like high chakra control except it applies to everything?'
[Affirmative]
'cool' Xander, or harry as he needs to get used to it, nodded 'use 3 of the special tickets please'
[Affirmative]
*PING* [Special tickets x 3 used]
[Summon: Assassin] (Orange)
[Level 10 intelligence] (Orange)
[Non-conscious Assimilation Symbiote] (Orange)
Xander calmed himself and asked the system to explain the results [Affirmative]
[The first is a ticket that when used, will summon the designated, assassin to serve you. Those summoned can't ever betray you and will do whatever you command of them, even if it goes against their beliefs]
[The second is a high level of intelligence that rivals Tony Stark and Reed Richards]
[The third is a symbiot that has no consciousness of its own. once it binds to the host, it will gain the abilities of the standard symbiote plus abilities from the host. As it is an assimilation type it will start off weak and gain more power the more it feeds on]
Harry took a moment to think about it and finish his work in the garden 'does it have the standard, weaknesses of Symbiotes to fire and Sound?'
[Affirmative]
'So if I feed it phoenix tail feather and dragon skin and other parts, it will gain fire immunity?' Harry asked
[Affirmative] came the monotone response
By now Harry was done with his work on the garden and decided it was time to play the role of a child again till he can escape Dumb-Ass-Door
*ping*
[Quest alert:
Escape the Dursleys and Dumb-Ass-Door
Reward: standard ticket x3
Bonus objective: Ensure that Dumb-Ass-Door is no longer your magical guardian
Reward for bonus objective: special ticket x1]
"…"
Harry grinned "System, I'd like to use the Level ten Intellect"
