1 The Beta System

Inside an orphanage, a boy woke up. He yawned and stretched his hands, then rubbed his eyes.

[New user detected. Would you like to register your account?]

Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind. "Who said that?" the boy asked, looking around.

[I am The Beta System. Would you like to register your account?]

The mechanical voice sounded in his mind again. The boy was bewildered. "System?"

[Yes. I am The Beta System. Would you like to register your account?]

"Why should I do that?"

[5 years later, there will be intense contest between different planets to choose which planets get to survive. Regular people have the chance to prepare 4 years before the contest and will gain The System. However, a total of 1,000,000,000 people in total will be chosen from 1,000,000 planets to obtain The Beta System. Those people are the ones who will lead the planets through the contest to survive. You are one of the people.]

"And why should I believe you?"

[It is your choice to believe my words or not. I will not force you.]

"Alright, say that I believe you. What do I do now?"

[Please agree to register your account.]

"I agree."

[Registering information. Verifying. Registering account. Creating account. Verifying. Account created. Received beginner gift packet. Congratulations for being the 1,000,000,000th user of The Beta System. Last Beta System User Gift Packet received. Please check your inventory.]

"Inventory? How do I do that?"

[Command with your thoughts]

[Inventory opened.]

A transparent panel appeared in front of him. The panel was filled with slots, and only two slots had something in them. <What do I do?>

[Command with your thoughts]

<Um... Use beginner gift packet.>

[Beginner gift packet opened. Received 250 free attribute points. Received 10 skill points. Received 1 free special attribute point. Received 10 silver coins. Received 200 bronze coins.]

<What?>

[Does user required the items received repeated?]

<No. What do I do next?>

[Please check status to use free attribute points, skill points, and free special attribute point.]

<Yeah, okay, um, status open.>

[Status opened.] The transparent panel in front of him changed. There was a figure of a four year old boy, with attributes and other stats on the panel.

Evaluation: Amazing intelligence and wisdom for someone that's level one. Amazing comprehension, as well as luck that can amaze a Deity.

[You can use your free attribute points, free special attribute, and skill points.]

[Please think for yourself.]

[Yes. Practice, repeated use, and natural development. There are also special objects that can increase your attributes. Some titles and achievements can grant attribute points. Special objects that increase luck are the rarest.]

<Oh. Assign all unassigned attribute points to dexterity. Assign the unassigned special attribute point to luck.

[Achievement accomplished- Be the first person to have a special attribute that has a status point of above 100. Rewarded 1 free special attribute point. Achievement accomplished- Be the first person to get an achievement. Rewarded 20 unassigned attribute points.]

Clinton raised his eyebrows. <System, what's this? I thought special attribute points were hard to earn.>

[You were lucky. Normally, you only get 1 free special attribute point every 50 levels.]

[You get 5 free attribute points every level, and 1 skill point every 5 levels. You can decide for yourself how rare the special attribute point is.]

<Oh, I get it. Add all free attribute points to dexterity and free special attribute point to luck. Oh, and what's a Deva?>

[Devas are the lowest rank of an immortal. After Deva, it's Supreme Beings, Deities, and Gods. There is said to be a higher ranked being than God, but it is not yet confirmed. The highest leveled God is only level 2,708.]

<That's high.>

[It's not. The highest level for a rank should typically be level 5,000.]

[The amount of experience required for a God to level up is too much.]

<Oh.>
