1 [Prologue] The Unreliable System

In the middle of the night of Yogyakarta city, a 25 years old male crossing the busy street.

"What should i do now?" thought the guy.

"I need to pay the loan tomorrow. That bastard brother of mine tricks me to invest in goddamn pyramid scheme!"

The man's name is Arief Setiawan, his brother tricks him to 'invest' in some making money quick scheme, which is a pretty big thing in this era.

"Sigh, i could mortgage the house as a last resort".

Suddenly, a car speeding up from nowhere was the last thing Arief seen that night.

...

"Ugh. My head.. hurts".

Holding his head, Arief got up and scanning his surrounding.

"Hm? I am in a Hospital?"

He instinctively reach his pocket to check the time, but to his surprise he cant find his phone. Soon as he searching for his phone, a female voice can be heard outside the infirmary room.

"Son... Son..! Thank goodness you're alright." A middle aged woman said.

"Mom? What are you doing here?" Dumbfounded, Arief asked his mom. That middle aged woman is his mom, Evi Setiawan, 45 years old woman with long hair and beautiful face.

"Wh-what happen to your face? Are you drinking some anti-aging tonic? Your face is younger that i remembered!"

Arief again dumbfounded finding his mother's face younger.

"What do you mean? You acting like an idiot every time you finished making trouble! You fought with Village Chief's son as soon as you graduated from high school! And now you're saying that i should be older? Let me get you straight young man, as soon as you're discharged from the Hospital, if you're failed to get into Prestigious University, don't ever dream calling me mom again!" Harrumphed the lady.

As soon as Arief wants to reply his mom berating, a 'ding' sounds can be heard in his ear.

"Quest System 1.0 activated"

"Scanning the host...."

"Host is suitable for the system..."

"Starting the Quest System 1.0..."

"New Quest found, host please check the Quest Tab"

Arief's face froze in shock. Never in his life that he think someday in his life get something as incredible as 'The System' from many Novels he reads.

In contrast of frozen faced Arief, his mom seems happy and nodding thinking that her son finally behaved.

Good, maybe this rascal finally realised that fighting everyday is pointless thought Evi.

"Alright, be a good boy and study hard. I am already late to work. Doctor said that you can be discharged tomorrow and i will pick you up in the morning."

....

As soon as his mother left, he jumping in joy agitatedly.

"Damn! I will be the most rich man in the country! No wait, i will be Peerless Martial God! No wait, i will be Against the Gods! No wait, I Shall Seal the Heavens!"

Alright, finish joking around. With this system, i could pay the loan quickly! Ah right. I should find my phone first.

Quickly, he found his phone and confused look found in his face.

"This... A Blackberry? I stop using this phone a long time ago. Wait, my mom said something about university... Could be, i am returning 8 Years earlier?!"

He swiveling his head and looking at the mirror. His instinct is right, with so many knowledge about Reincarnation Novel he reads, he is indeed returning 8 years earlier.

"Hehehe. if its true, then I'm free of loan!" he shouted.

"Right, right. What kind of system do i have? Is it shamelessly same as Ultimate Scheming System? Or overpowered Strongest System? Or delicate Gourmet System?"

"System, do you heard me? What kind of power I've got now?"

"No power added to host yet. Host, please check the status."

Bewildered, he asked "No power? The fuck? What do you do then?"

"Host your privilege is too low to know, please check the status"

Wasting no time arguing with system, he soon check the status.

[Name] : Arief Setiawan

[Career] : Nothing

[Privilege] : Level 0 (0/100)

[Item] : Nothing

The fuck? Only 4 lines?

"System, what about quest thing earlier?"

[Main Quest]

Rewards :

50 Privilege Experience

1 Main Quest Surprise Box

Bewildered, he asked "System, why you are so Unreliable? You give me no power and just remind me of some quest? Hell, a kid's drawing book can do the same and more than you!"

There is no reply from the system.

Damn, i thought i can conquer the world as soon as i got the System. Nevermind, it is already good that i returned 8 years earlier.

"System, what is the meaning of Privilege?"

"Host will get experience as soon as Host finished Main Quest or Side Quest. Work hard, Host!"
