Destiny's Observer

Leo is a 33-year-old office worker who has been plagued by recurring nightmares for the past month. In these nightmares, he witnesses the enigmatic world of Elysium through the eyes of a young orphan cultivator, shunned by society. However, Leo's life takes an unexpected turn when he dies on Earth and reincarnates as the very same boy he had been seeing in his nightmares, thanks to a mysterious oracle system. Equipped with the power to predict the causes of events that shape destiny, Leo embarks on a journey within the world of Elysium. He uses the oracle system's predictive abilities akin to a skilled gambler, seeking to uncover the underlying causes behind the events unfolding around him. With each successful prediction, Leo grows more powerful, harnessing the system's assistance to identify the factors responsible for reshaping the fate of cultivators and other influential figures. As Leo observes the triumphs and downfalls of the inhabitants of Elysium, he maintains a detached mindset, refraining from interfering in their affairs. His sole focus is on survival and leading a cautious, steady life, steering clear of the tumultuous struggles that grip Elysium. Despite witnessing the grandeur and the tragic consequences of the world he now inhabits, Leo remains distant and indifferent, harboring a resolve to navigate this unfamiliar realm without being drawn into its conflicts.

Disturbance Factor

Then Leo proceeded to examine the Predict column. He got an idea of what it was, but he didn't know how it worked, so he asked, "What is Predict and how does it work?"

[ The Predict feature is a system ability that helps the host gain karma points by monitoring their surroundings for potential disturbances. When the system detects a disturbance, it assesses its disturbance factor, which is the potential impact on the flow of destiny. There are five levels of disturbance factor, and with each increase in factor, the impact on the flow of destiny increases, and then alerts the host accordingly. These disturbances can be anything from a place, event, or person. ]

After hearing the response, Leo understood that he could provide assistance to the system through this feature. He then thought to himself, 'So, to gain karma points, I need to encounter disturbances. That means I can't just stay at home all the time. I need to travel around to find disturbances.' Leo sighed and thought, 'That looks troublesome.' He decided to clarify the disturbance factor that the system mentioned and asked, "System, how will I gain karma points, and what does the disruption factor indicate?"

[ The host will gain karma points by predicting the cause of a disturbance. To predict the cause of a disturbance, the host needs to use karma points and create an anchor point for his prediction in the flow of destiny. If the host predict correctly, host will gain karma points according to the disturbance factor. However, if the host is wrong, host will lose karma points according to the disturbance factor. ]

Leo listened to the system's response and couldn't help but think to himself, 'This sounds like gambling.' However, he found the situation amusing and said, 'I will gamble on destiny. This is quite an ironic situation.'

Curious to learn more about the process of gaining karma points, Leo decided to ask the system for a clear explanation. He said, "System, clarify the process of gaining karma points by providing me with an example."

[ Let's assume that host uses 100 karma points to predict the cause of an disturbance. ]

[

D.F. (1): If its host's prediction is correct, host will gain [ 100 KP + 1 * 100 KP ] total 200 KP.

D.F. (1): If its host's prediction is wrong, host will lose [ 100 KP - 100 KP * 1 * %20 ] total 80 KP.

D.F. (2): If its host's prediction is correct, host will gain [ 100 KP + 2 * 100 KP ] total 300 KP.

D.F. (2): If its host's prediction is wrong, host will lose [ 100 KP - 100 KP * 2 * %20 ] total 60 KP.

D.F. (3): If its host's prediction is correct, host will gain [ 100 KP + 3 * 100 KP ] total 400 KP.

D.F. (3): If its host's prediction is wrong, host will lose [ 100 KP - 100 KP * 3 * %20 ] total 40 KP.

D.F. (4): If its host's prediction is correct, host will gain [ 100 KP + 4 * 100 KP ] total 500 KP.

D.F. (4): If its host's prediction is wrong, host will lose [ 100 KP - 100 KP * 4 * %20 ] total 20 KP.

D.F. (5): If its host's prediction is correct, host will gain [ 100 KP + 5 * 100 KP ] total 600 KP.

D.F. (5): If its host's prediction is wrong, host will lose [ 100 KP - 100 KP * 5 * %20 ] total 0 KP.

]

After examining the example and getting a better understanding of how the prediction feature works, Leo ironically thought, "Yes, this doesn't look like gambling." Leo then fooled around inwardly a little and proceeded to the next column, asking, "System, what is the inspect feature, and what is it doing?"

[ The inspect feature will allow the host to see other people's basic information, such as their talents and spiritual roots ]

Leo thought, 'That's a useful one, it will come in handy' then proceeded to the inventory column. Even though he had an idea of what it was, he asked anyway, "System, what is the inventory?"

[ The inventory feature will provide the host with an independent space that will not be noticed by anyone, and the host can use it to put everything he wants except living objects. ]

Upon seeing that his KP balance was at 0, Leo disregarded it and asked the system, "How can you assist me in becoming stronger?" After a brief pause, he continued, "For instance, can you help me enhance my cultivation realm?"

[ The system cannot help the host with his cultivation or any other aspect that involves the host's spiritual. However, the system can help the host improve his attributes and provide the host with Dharma treasures or techniques that cannot be found in the world ]

After learning that the system could not help him with his cultivation, Leo became disheartened. However, he did not care too much and thought, "I can cultivate myself, but I can't obtain techniques or any other items. I don't have anyone to provide them to me, and I am not interested in risking my life searching for opportunities to acquire them. It's better than nothing." Then Leo asked the system, "How will you provide me with techniques or Dharma treasures?"

[ After the host specifies their request, the system will provide an appropriate counterpart and indicate how much it will cost in karma points ]

Leo thought 'It doesn't look like a compliceted process' after seeing he examine all the system features leo looked at his kp balance again and thought 'I can't do anything with 0 kp, I need to first earn kp points' and asked "System is there any other way to gain kp without using predict feature"

[ The host can gain karma points by extracting them from objects. However, it is important to note that the extracted object will disappear. ]

Upon hearing that there was another way of gaining karma points, Leo asked, "What is extraction, and which objects can be extracted?"

[ Extraction is the process of obtaining karma points by extracting them from objects. Generally, one spirit stone can be exchanged for one karma point, and only objects that have a spiritual existence can be extracted ]

Upon hearing about the extraction ratio, Leo thought, 'It looks like it's a bit too high.' He then took out everything from his space ring and placed it on the kitchen table. His belongings consisted of one fourth realm of Qi condensation beast core, two sixth realm of Qi condensation beast cores, ten blue flowers, a mortal grade sword, the aura nullification technique he received from the old man, and one hundred spirit stones.

After checking his talent value, Leo realized that he couldn't use the beast cores and spirit stones for extraction. Instead, they could help him with his cultivation. The only thing left was the technique that the old man had given him. Leo asked the system, "How many karma points can I get from extracting this technique?"

The system responded, [ You can get one thousand karma points]
