3 | The Promised Power |
Pov:???
I've been here for a long time, I'm hungry and the only thing I can do is cry and cry and scream, in hopes that someone will hear me and take me away from this place.
i know it's dangerous to cry in the forest, especially when you are still a baby like me, but i have no other choice, it's getting dark and i'm hungry at this rate I will die either from hunger eaten by some beasts or get sick and die that way.
Curse that god, could he not just send me to the front doors of some orphanages, even if someone finds me, I doubt they will just take a baby in the middle of nowhere, that is really suspicious even if someone takes me maybe they will treat me like a slave.
Just then I heard a mechanical sound coming from my head and a screen appeared in-front of me with something written on it.
[ ding system installation started ]
1%
23%
47%
68%
89%
99%
(Installation completed)
After hearing the mechanical voice in my head saying something about a system installation and a loading screen appearing in-front of me I thought maybe I was going crazy at first but then another screen appeared in-front of me,
in black colour with red coloured letters, on which was written
[ This message is for you, mortal ]
~I see the process has gone well so as promised. I will give you the power to survive in this world, but it all depends on you and how you use it. First of your race will no longer be a human being, and about your survival don't worry that much.
~And if you are wondering what world I am sending you to, it's the last novel you read, it'll be the last time you hear from me, and do not worry, I will not watch your life like the stories you have read
After reading through the message I went into deep thoughts about the words the god just said.
If what the god said is true than that means i am in the world of the beginning after the end, where basically a former king is reborn as a child and tries to live a more fulfilled life in this world of swords and magic, a fantasy novel with powerful mages, mana beasts and godly beings.
From what I know there are three continents in this world each world having their own races living in them .
Dicathen: the land of the human, elves and dwarves.
Alacrya: the land of the Vritras.
Epheotus: the land of the Asuras.
The god said that I am no longer human. I wonder what race I belong to maybe I will an Asura or maybe something else for now I don't know let's look through the system and find it's use.
I tried to call the system in my mind I tried just [ system ] and nothing happens I continued with something and and it didn't work so I tried again , this time thinking of the [ system functions ] on my mind.
And the screen appeared before me once again
[ System Functions ]
-Status
-Skills
-Elemental mastery
From the looks of it it's not like the other systems it's quite different no quest function and no inventory function in a way it's better this way I don't like being forced to do quests with penalties.
So basically it just shows my stats and abilities to help me better understand my powers l guess
and I do not need an inventory, there are storage rings in this world so everything should be fine.
I thought the word [ Status ] on my mind and a screen with information appeared before me.
| Status |
Name : ???
Level : 0
Race : Demon (???)
Core stage : No mana core
Rank : ???
I can understand the no mana core think and the level, but the race and rank confuses me, since when was there a race named demon on the novel, it must be the gods doing a special race I think, only for me but this will make me a target of the Asuras if they find out.
On the Race option there are question makes
Maybe I should click on them something useful might pop up.
The Daemon race -
they are often confused with evil beings who live only to kill people and destroy their lives
They are also known as the Demon Race, a mysterious race which not much is known. They have an affinity for almost all elements, but some demons use only certain elements No one knows where they come from ??? ???? ????
(You are the last of this race)
Interesting a mysterious race wich I don't have much information about, I know that I will have all the elements so that's a good thing anyways if the system gave information about the Race maybe it will give for the rank to from the looks of it it's connected with my race.
Rank -
The evolution of the Daemon race
consists of 6 ranks each time you rank up you will become significantly stronger than before.
-Lower Rank Demon
-Middle rank demon
-Greater demon
-???
-???
-???
"Why don't I know what comes after the Greater demon rank" I asked the system.
[You are too weak to know] the system replied in its mechanical voice.
"When will I be able to get more information on the other ranks"I asked once again wanting more information about it.
[ When you evolve into a Greater Demon ] it replied once again as usual.
"Oh, good,Then how can i level up?" I asked as I gave up on finding out more about ranks.
[You absorb the life force of the creatures you kill, and that in turn becomes EXP for you to level up] the system explained to me.
Doesnt that mean l cant level up till l can walk.
[ Not quite, after you create a mana core you can absorb mana from the atmosphere to purify your core, you can also absorb a certain amount of life force from the planet, but be careful how much you absorb your action might lead to your demise] the system replied.
So you mean to say I will not level up quite sometime the only think I can do is to start to make a mana core as fast as possible.
After trying to meditate and failing miserably the only result I got was sleep I fell asleep while meditating.
