[3] Usefull

[Those are the functions possessed by the 'system' in its complete state.]

Aiden, who had just gained some encouragement, couldn't help but sigh. He questioned the system in his mind.

"So, at this moment, what functions does the system have while in an incomplete state?"

[This system scans the host's soul and is created based on various game systems, with the purpose of assisting the host in continually growing stronger while maintaining and repairing itself. The ideal situation is to help the host achieve the realm of control of the rules and laws. The system itself will be fully repaired and reach a complete state with a probability of one in a hundred million.]

[As the host of the system, you need to traverse various records to complete the tasks assigned by the system. The host can understand and master the language and script of all task worlds. Below the realm of transcending time, the host can obtain a legitimate identity in all worlds and the level of system rewards is determined by the completion of tasks.]

[Due to the system's damage, apart from the initial world, for a long time, no additional help can be provided other than task rewards, language scripts, and identity.]

[Additionally, based on the host's temperament, each task will set certain failure penalties without compromising the safety of the host.]

"Indeed, tasks still need to be completed, right? It's an equivalent exchange." Aiden, who had read countless novels, had an understanding expression. He felt a glimmer of hope in his heart and immediately asked the system.

"So, how can I reach such a realm?"

[The specific method is for the host to explore on their own.]

"Can reaching such a realm restore a planet or resurrect all the people? Even if it's just one person?"

[No.]

"Then what kind of realm can achieve that?" Aiden still held onto a glimmer of hope.

[If the host can reach the realm of transcending time, changing the past, and controlling the future, only then can they reverse time, restore a planet, and resurrect all the people.]

"So, it's still not possible?" Having a goal is a good thing, with a concrete goal to achieve, people can have a direction for effort and the motivation to strive. However, if the goal seems too distant, unreachable, many people often feel powerless, losing both direction and motivation.

Just like an ordinary undergraduate degree holder, not from a prestigious university, given the goal of becoming the next youngest billionaire and starting with some money, would they be motivated? Even if they were, for Aiden, who had abilities close to those of a god and felt deeply hopeless and powerless, facing such a distant goal only brought despair.

The system could traverse multiverses, and there must be worlds of higher levels and people who surpassed such realms in the universe. Just like a certain world where gods and humans coexist. But could such an ordinary person like him survive in such high-level worlds?

Aiden couldn't be sure, and right now, he couldn't actively choose which world to traverse. Before he had enough power and the system was repaired to a certain extent, the system would not let him traverse to such high-level worlds, unless it wanted to be severely damaged once more.

Faced with such a heavy responsibility, Aiden was not an Avenger, nor was he Iron Man. As an ordinary otaku, under the faint hope, Aiden felt more despair and feared being gradually crushed by such a heavy burden, neglecting his actual abilities to take reckless risks, leaving him with no hope at all.

Ultimately, after inquiring about the feasibility of the system, Aiden chose to let the system temporarily modify his memories of Earth's destruction.

He was just a lucky person who got isekai'd after a disaster. There was no heavy burden, and he could face it with ease.

Until his power was enough to break the seal, then he should be able to take a step towards the realm of transcending time, and then he could face it calmly and continue to advance towards this realm.

[Beginner Trial World 1: Danmachi]

[Trial Task: Starting today, join the Familia within three days. From the second day after joining, become a Level 2 Adventurer within 50 days, with no upper limit. The higher the level reached by the host, the higher the reward.]

[Failure Penalty: Change gender and debut as an idol.]

"Damn, is the system the devil? Did I offend you? Why are you targeting me like this? Even with your assistance, I'm just an ordinary otaku. Aren't you overestimating me?" Aiden, after sealing his memories, couldn't help but rub his temples and complain.

"Never mind. Let's first think about what to do now."

After a brief moment of reflection, Aiden immediately identified a blind spot. "Wait, system, your penalty isn't supposed to endanger my physical safety, right? Then, isn't becoming a girl also part of my body?"

Only silence answered him.

Aiden could only sigh in resignation, reluctantly accepting this reality.

"Thankfully, this dungeon isn't the same as the perilous dungeons of the Arad Continent. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how I'd die. Although there's no life-threatening danger, isn't it incredibly difficult to become a Level 2 adventurer in Orario?"

To protect his last shred of dignity as a male and avoid debuting as an idol, Aiden could only try to recall everything related to the 2015 anime series.

"I remember the protagonist, Bell, seemed to take over a month to reach Level 2. And that sword princess seemed to have taken a year."

"Moreover, most adventurers seem to start from Level 1. It seems they need to achieve great feats, meaning they have to challenge higher-level monsters. No, more accurately, they have to defeat elite monsters or minibosses to be recognized as superior adventurers at Level 2."

"...So there's still a risk to life, damn it!"

"Although I've killed countless descendants of myself, I've never even killed a chicken. And my talent is just average, without any 'aspiration' skills. I'm just an ordinary, non-dead, non-rich otaku. I really can't do it!"

Aiden raised his hands slowly. Before him were slender, fair hands. Looking down, he saw his unique new clothes, full of rebellious and distinct style. He could hear shouts from his internal organs.

Clutching his stomach, he said to the system, "System, my dear system, although beggars may be in tattered clothes, at least they have clothes. With my current situation, I'd be considered a weirdo if I went out. And I'm broke, no, I don't even have a penny. Forget about becoming a Level 2 adventurer after joining a familia, I doubt I can survive three days. This is ridiculous!"

Pausing, he continued while swiping his hands together like a cunning merchant about to cheat an innocent little girl, "System, since you're modeled after various game systems, did you also consider our unique legendary game mechanic? Like, getting a dragon-slaying sword with just one click, dealing 999 damage?"

After a moment of honeyed silence, the system's voice echoed in Aiden's mind again.

[The system does not possess this function.]

[Based on the host's current situation and ability level, the system calculates the host's task completion rate as 1% and initiates the novice protection mechanism. May I ask if the host wishes to advance the reward for the novice trial task? After receiving it, regardless of the host's level when completing the task, there will be no additional rewards. Please confirm, host.]

Aiden couldn't help but complain, "Damn it, other people's systems start with various benefits. How come mine turned out like this? Are you sure you're not a fake system?"

But to protect his last bit of dignity, Aiden had no choice but to accept the system's proposal. "Is there even a choice? If I don't advance the reward, I'll end up debuting as a backstreet girl."

[Randomly selecting... Selection successful.]

Hearing this, Aiden couldn't help but complain again, "Damn, your system is so bad. You didn't learn anything else, just learned from the special pay-to-win mobile games. Unbelievable."

Ignoring Aiden's complaints, the system continued.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the third-generation bloodline of the Legendary Dark Knight Sparda from the Devil May Cry series.]

The third generation of Sparda's bloodline, if Dante hasn't had a once young like his older brother Vergil, then it refers to the protagonist of the fourth and fifth series, Nero, the only grandson of Sparda.

Accompanied by the system's voice, a frosty blue devil's shadow enveloped Aiden. But he only felt his blood boiling throughout his body. His slender limbs were slowly becoming robust at a visible rate, muscles slowly taking shape, his ordinary chest and abdomen gradually forming into chiseled muscles, and his jet-black hair gradually turned silver-white and rapidly grew to eye level. His entire body exuded strength and beauty like the statue of David by Michelangelo.

Looking down at his hands, Aiden slowly clenched his fingers, tightly, into a fist! This was a sense of power that an otaku who rarely exercised had never experienced.

"Is this what it feels like to become a Sparda? Even the dormant Sparda family bloodline has such strong power." Aiden couldn't help but marvel.
