Chapter 2
[Do you wish to see the system interface? Y/N]
Art who was completely zoned out mentally was pulled back to his senses when the prompt suddenly popped up in his vision. Shaking his head to clear his mind, he mentally responded 'yes'. and then the system came to life.

Looking at it once Art had several questions he had in mind, as such he mentally willed for some help in understanding the system. Following which several prompts overlapping the status window popped up conveniently explaining the status menu.

Nodding to himself, while going through the new prompts, Art inquired the system again,
"How do I even go about gaining 70 stats so that I can level up?"

[Grand Conquest - Purify Arthras Empire
After the fall of the Korzil continent to the undead curse, most sentient races became undead. You are gifted with extraordinary powers by the Patron of the Human pantheon, Nautalisk, to purge the Korzil continent of the undying. The first major step is to completely purify the biggest kingdom empire on the continent Arthras. New objectives are added when certain criteria are met. Rewards are dispensed when objectives are met.
Requirements:
1) Reach the safe haven of Lunaris
2) Purify the cities of Arthras (3/34)
3) Purify the capital city of Arthras (0/1) ]
Instead of offering just a simple explanation, the system decided to pump out three new quests which almost seemed to provide enough context and a basic guideline on what Art needed to do next. Going through the Grand Conquest prompt, Art began sweating and cursing his stupidity. Instead of making sure that he was in a safe location, Art was just idling at the cliffside. He was supremely lucky that there were no undead lurking in his vicinity or his story might've ended before it even began. Following that, he noticed that some pretty important functions were gated behind the first two quests. As such he rose to his feet, patting his clothes to remove the dirt, and began looking around. His first priority was to find a safer location than this cliffside and then try to finish the first quest ASAP. He was planning to forage around the forest in the meantime hoping to find some food along the way.
And so a few hours passed. During this time Art managed to get a couple of fruits and some berries that he managed to forage. Though he had no idea whether they were edible or not, he decided that would risk eating only until he absolutely needed to or if he is able to acquire the analyze feature. He only hoped that the analyze function did what he hoped it did. After another couple of hours later, Art finally managed to find a cave that was empty and decided to temporarily call it home. Only after making sure that the cave was completely safe, did Art decide to lean on a wall before slumping into a squat. Breathing out, Art closed his eyes and pondered on how to tackle the first mission.
'Before I go around trying to get a new skill, I need to make check the skill that I saw in my status. Maybe the ability might allow me to gain a method of gaining skills'
Thinking so Art pulled up his status and decided to request information on the [System Learning] from the system.

[System Learning
Class: Inheritance
Level: Max
Description: Once an action is successfully executed, it will be registered by the system as a skill. Acquired jobs and skills absorbed into unique classes but work autonomously.]
Looking at the description, Art's eyebrows shot up to their limits. He smacked his head remembering that he had chosen a growth system. Of course, he would gain something from the system that would assist his growth.
Rubbing his chin, Art got up to his feet again and decided to carry out an experiment.
