Chapter 3- Strange system

"Your soul was summoned by me, your body was shaped by me, and you will receive my blessings. You will enter that world through the tear I have opened and find the anchor I have prepared for you to stabilize yourself. After that, I want you to establish a new faith for me, as a source of my power. When enough faith is collected, I will be able to reconnect with the world and descend upon Rubihart again."

"This is a daunting and lengthy task, so I have prepared enough blessings for you. They won't make you invincible, but if used properly, they will definitely help you achieve my goals."

"I know your soul doesn't have many accurate memories of other worlds, nor much experience in combat and survival. Please rest assured, my blessings will help you adapt quickly to everything in the local environment. As long as you remember this moment and the way we communicate with souls, then 'Divine Awareness' will guide you." Vicky's light gradually dimmed, and she cupped Frank's cheeks, kissing his forehead.

"Go, my executor, and take on this great mission for your goddess. I will continue to watch over you in the void, anticipating the miracles I expect you to bring for me." With that kiss, Frank felt a numb sense of pleasure in his brain, followed by messages that he could naturally understand without needing to read...

"Divine Awareness"activated.

Huh? Frank paused, what exactly is Divine Awareness?

He wanted to ask further, but Vicky had disappeared along with those lights. It was pitch black all around.

The way of soul communication, right... the way of soul communication. He quickly communicated in his mind the same way as before, saying, "Divine Awareness, where are you?"

"You just need to think about speaking in your mind, and I can receive your message, Frank." So convenient? Who... are you?

"I am a part of Vicky's will and memory, attached to your soul to provide you with necessary guidance, along with other blessings. You can simply call me Vicky, but considering that you will have the chance to interact with her directly, I suggest you refer to her as the goddess in the future to distinguish."Uh... when can I leave here? It's pitch black and there's nothing here.

"When you are ready, and you have understood what is necessary, I will end the current dimensional barrier and let you truly descend onto the actual land."

"Firstly, after you have obtained Divine Awareness, you no longer need to worry about communication issues in other worlds. You have already mastered the ability to communicate with all races, from the most obscure monster language to the most common lingua franca, you have already mastered reading and writing proficiently."

"Secondly, you have gained basic common knowledge of living in this world, which will flow into your memory at a pace that you can adapt to. This will ensure your initial survival ability."

"Furthermore, as Divine Awareness, I can provide you with information to identify many things and answer many of your doubts. Please make good use of it, especially when you are confused, because I cannot communicate with you actively, so be sure to call me more to avoid mistakes."

"Lastly, the most important effect of Divine Awareness is that it was launched by the goddess using almost all remaining power. Considering that the field you are most familiar with is what is known as electronic games in your world, I have made the information related to you as gamified as possible to make it easier for you to accept and master."

Frank's mood suddenly became excited. It sounded like he had received a system to transmigrate into a game world, right?

"But this is not a game after all, so if you die, you will disappear completely from all dimensions."

Hmm... could you explain specifically what kind of gamification it is?

"For example, since you are familiar with things like experience points, I define the accumulation of one second of focus on studying a skill by an ordinary human as 1 experience point for you, to facilitate your understanding. Unfortunately, only the parts directly related to you can be converted into precise numbers because others are still protected by the will of the world, and I can only access surface-level information."

Frank nodded thoughtfully and said in his mind, "Okay, I don't want to stay in this dark place anymore. Since you can be summoned anytime for explanation, can we go to a more normal place first?"

"As you wish, then the barrier will be removed. Please stay focused, as the landing place is randomly selected within a certain range. Be prepared for any sudden situations. Additionally, the blessings of the goddess will also come afterward."

The next second, the surrounding darkness suddenly disappeared. A blue sky, a bright sun, and countless green treetops all appeared before Frank's eyes. Along with the intense feeling of weightlessness, he felt that numb sense of pleasure in his brain again.

"Faith Connection"activated. "Abundance"activated. "Sacrifice"activated. "Chosen One"activated. "Outsider"activated. "Holy Essence"activated.

Wait, what are all these skills? And don't pop up dialogue boxes if you don't want me to be distracted! Frank lamented in his mind, completely unprepared for any landing, and he fell into the water.

Fortunately, it was a shallow bank by the lake, and the height he fell from wasn't too outrageous. Apart from his head hitting the mud and sand, causing a slight pain, there wasn't much of a problem.

Frank climbed up, shook off the water from his face, and crawled to the shore, observing his surroundings before looking at his reflection in the water.

It was a forest, with no signs of human habitation around, quite desolate and primitive, but still peaceful and quiet, with no monsters suddenly popping out.

Looking at his reflection on the water's surface, he appeared to be a fairly sturdy young man with a wet coarse cloth outfit and an old cloth bag tied around his waist.

Right, since it's gamified, I should check my attributes first. He wiped the water off his face, paid attention to his surroundings, and silently called Divine Awareness: Let me see my attributes.

"Your current body attributes: Strength, Agility, and Stamina are all 15; Mental attributes: Magic Energy 0, Willpower data unavailable, Intelligence 1; Also, fixed attributes: Charisma 97, Luck 50."

Hmm, so, what level is 15 for body attributes? Why is there no data available for mental attributes? What's the deal with 0 and 1? Is my mind binary?

"A body attribute of 15 is roughly the level of excellence among ordinary adult male humans. Mental attributes come from the soul, and since your soul does not belong to this world, magic-related attributes such as Magic Energy and Intelligence start at the lowest level. As for Willpower, you have a huge advantage from other skills, allowing you to resist almost all magical mental influences of this world and weaken the vast majority of damage."

Other skills? Which one specifically?

"Outsider. Strictly speaking, this is not a blessing from the goddess, but a natural attribute of you as a traveler. I need to emphasize here that your body and soul are not related to this world, so you must find the anchor prepared for you by the goddess as soon as possible. In addition, your attributes have been fixed since your arrival and cannot grow in this world. You have no magic power or aura, so I suggest you find equipment that can help you gain combat ability as soon as possible and act cautiously."

So... I'm just a loser here too? Frank widened his eyes. So, he, as a goddess executor, was just slightly better than a scrub with a combat level of 15? And locked at level 1 without the possibility of leveling up? Then what's the point? Will he just wander around in the beginner's village forever?

"Don't be discouraged, you still have other blessings. The abilities of the Goddess of Abundance are not suitable for combat, but they will definitely not make you so weak that you can't move. Moreover, the faith you gather will provide you with tremendous help. Saving the world is not only about fighting."

Then what? Talking big? Frank tried to calm himself down. He could ask about those weird skills later. The most important thing now was another question: What about the anchor you mentioned? How do I find it? What if I can't find it?

"I will guide you to find it, and you must find it. If you fail to complete soul anchoring, you will not be able to survive in this world. Once the divine protection surrounding you dissipates, you will be expelled by the will of the world and cease to exist."

"As for the anchor, it is actually a woman. She is a composite life created by placing a soul from the same world as yours into a suitable body in this world. Once you find her and mate with her, using your ability Holy Semen, you can activate soul anchoring. As long as she is alive, you can exist steadily in this world. She will also strive for this. The moment soul anchoring is activated, she will know that as long as you die, she will also disappear into nothingness."

You brought a soul from my world too?

"Yes, in order to complete soul anchoring, I needed a soul deeply entrenched in your heart. Coincidentally, she was with you at that time, maintaining the closest relationship with you."Frank was stunned. The anchor he had to visit every day turned out to be Ivanka! Wait, what is Holy Semen?
