Chapter 2

[It was good, giving you your first augment first before. You are right, these worlds indeed exist although they are outside of this world's influence, getting only information is still possible. Your wish has been approved, and will however be upgraded if you choose to invest in another wish. If you do not, the Functions you want will be restricted as the power of one wish is not enough to freely go out of this Universes border.]

„Alright I'll tell you later about my decision," Stephanie wasn't sure if it would be worth it.

„Before I say my last wish, please tell me if there are restrictions concerning my talents." Stephanie knew that there might be restrictions to the use of magic if one wasn't talented enough or if one's body might not be suited for the use of magic.

[You are quite lucky, it is hard to tell someone's talent for magic, but we are the guides, we can say that your magic talents are the best natural talents, we currently have.]

Stephanie was confused," What do you mean with natural talent?"

[Natural talents refer to the talent you have without augments to your body. For example, your let's keep it simple, IQ has been enhanced with an augment, as such people with the same augment, which were born with a higher IQ will still be superior to you.]

„That's nice, can I have the evolution of my second wish now?" Stephanie didn't have a backup plan, time was crucial to have a better start.

[Sure, your timer will be stopped again and your remaining time is 2 minutes and 13 seconds. It won't take as long as last time, duo to your first evolution.]

Time skip 1 hour

Stephanie had realized a big problem, the author had a blockage of ideas. Even though there were thousands of good ideas she could choose from, none of them were special

[Have you decided? You only have 2 minutes remaining]

„No…, but I will accept the proposition for my 3rd and 4th wish." Stephanie had hardly any ideas for her 5th wish, so she wouldn't be able to get a good one for the 4th. As such having to use 2 wished for one superior function would be worth it.

[Alright, your wishes have been converted into a so-called „system". It will only appear if you think to go to the entrance of your memory library and push the button. It looks like a coin. If you are in a hurry quickly think 'Emergency Store' in your mind and the emergency mode will be activated.]

[Your usage made more than 3/4 of the 2nd wishes energy still available. It is not enough for a new wish, however, a being interested in you has ordered me to use this energy, as your 1st and 3rd traits will be enhanced.

„A being?" Stephanie asked while thinking of the Name of the new World.

[You are correct, this universe is nothing more than entertainment for gods, you are lucky enough to gain a bit of support early on, only around 1% have had a god help them out this early.]

„So I am being supported by a god now?" Stephanie wasn't sure if it would be a good or bad thing.

[You are mistaken, the being has already left, it was merely passing by and decided to help a bit.]

[Please do make sure to state your last wish in the next 30 seconds. Your timer has already run out as such you will immediately after stating your wish evolve again followed by your immediate start in the Arena.]

„Screw this shitty Author for writing this shit sh*t without the ability to search for a new ability." Stephanie was annoyed as she couldn't do anything.

As Stephanie was complaining and thinking about a backup if nothing would happen in time.

Realizing that the Author was adamant about finishing the chapter, even though it would make the story worse, Stephanie could only quickly rummage through her memories to find a suitable trait.

Without anything better to think of, she decided to use a trait, that could help her in hiding from others and had an overall wide application range.

[5 seconds]

„I want to be able to change my race and my appearance freely, even if they don't exist in this world.

[As you wish, I hope for you to survive. Goodbye.]

One week and an evolution later

Stephanie suddenly felt a few information about this world flow into her mind, with a message from the observer:

[Luckily your memory was enhanced or this would have killed you. These are the information you should have gotten from me, but I didn't want to work overtime.]

[Nr.1: This is the currently explored Wilderness of this World, you can see your entry point as a red dot, it will disappear after you move more than 10 meters.]

[Nr.2: These are the talents you might have. This is only a hypothesis we made after observing your life, more might follow. This list is only accessible to you.

- Supreme Magical talent, currently 20 more in existence

- Supreme basic elemental affinity

To take note of:

- Supreme Ice affinity

- Superior Darkness affinity

- uncommon light affinity

- Archery/long-range attack affinity

[Good luck]

Everything from talents to the quality of items had a rank. These ranks were however not universal as such talents with the same quality could be ranked differently due to the difference in application. They were not commonly used due to efficiency and accuracy problems.

Trash - common - uncommon - rare - epic - legendary - mythical - divine (Item quality rankings)

Trash - mediocre - common - uncommon - rare - superior - supreme - divine (only for affinities and talents)
