John covered his mouth in excitement while his eyes darted around him.
"But why don't I have any skills, and what the f*ck is with High Libido?"
[High Libido - the monstrous ability to last a really long time in the bed, making women love you more]
"F*ck, this absurd! But...I quite like the sound of it""
John couldn't help but slyly laugh in annoyance mixed with glee even though he still can't wrap his head around with his situation.
[Because you really have a talent for lasting a lot longer in bed] answered Oberon.
John just facepalmed in embarrassment, but at least this time, he knows...that he really wasn't hearing things or seeing things, but instead, what he's experiencing right now are all real.
He even thought of seeking psychiatric help earlier, but decided to put it on the back burner for now as it will be a last resort since he still wanted to observe more.
"And what about skills? How come nothing is listed? I'm pretty sure I'm skilled in playing basketball, and not to brag, I'm also good at playing football" John smiled.
[Skills in Basketball and Soccer are not related to conquering the seas!]
"W-what? What's do you mean by conquering the seas?" John became even more confused with that answer.
[Didn't you wish to conquer the seas and become its ruler?]
"Uhhh...no?"
John laughed as he quickly figured out that something must have gone wrong!
After all, he certainly remembers that he had not made any wish of conquering the seas or whatnot, and that the dream that he really wants to achieve is to become rich and not worry about what food to eat or paying the next month bills!
[...]
[Beep!]
[This is your current objective. Please finish them as soon as possible]
Main Objective: Rule the Seas!
Accumulate $10,000 and reach the next level.
Rewards: +1 Level and 100 Credits Points.]
[There is no mistake, the current path your main objective is heading to is by ruling the Seven Seas!]
John wanted to argue about it, but decided in the end to shut his mouth because based on what happening to him now, he had basically struck it big!
And the idea of ruling the seven seas is also quite tempting for him.
"Hmm..what's the deal with the Level? It looks like it wasn't meant like those in RPG games I've played before" asked John as he's been curious about it as it was the first thing he noticed earlier since he didn't see any of those attributes points or something similar.
[Your Level corresponds with your access level to things you can purchase in the Store]
John thought for a moment, and said, "Guess those stories isn't all that accurate, then please show me the store"
[Level 1] [Miracle Store]
- [Produce]
- [Potions]
- [Weapons and Accessories]
"Hmm...interesting"
Like a cat filled with curiosity, John tapped the [Weapons and Accessories] section, and the scene before his eyes change and was replaced by a list of things being sold.
"Uhhh..why are all of them greyed out?" John asked in a whisper while pointing at the listed gears in front of him that are all covered in a mist of grey.
[You should be at a higher level to access them. Right now, you only have access to Produce and Potions]
John rolled his eyes as he snorted and said, "You should've told me sooner"
"..."
'Though I don't really this kind of weapons, I'd rather buy a firearm' John thought while looking at the list of medieval gears. Soon, he was on [Potions] section where there are only three things listed in it.
One is a vial of green liquid, another is a red vial and the last one is blue.
John's curiosity was quickly piqued as he hurriedly press the photo of the vial with a green liquid.
[Merman's Blood
A potion brewed with Merman's blood as the main ingredient. Consuming it gives you the abilities of a merman.
Note: It hurts, really bad.
'Merman's blood' John thought as his eyebrows jumped up.
[Leviathan's Blood
A potion brewed with the blood of a Leviathan as the main ingredient. Consuming it gives you some of the sea monsters' abilities.
Note: The blood is not potent enough so the chances are very low.
'So it would be different if the blood is potent?' John is starting to get confused by the notes being left on the item's description, but at the same time, he's also feeling giddy inside since everyone had gone through childhood and dreamt of having supernatural powers, and now, it's being fulfilled before his eyes!
Almost.
And lastly, the blue potion.
[Devouring Carp Potion
A powerful potion that gives the consumer the innate abilities of a Devouring Carp.
Note: Scary stuff
'That's new' John thought when he noticed that the description of the third potion is different from the other two, just two simple words that would make everyone who reads it think that whoever wrote these descriptions was just messing around and doesn't know what they're doing.
"I've heard of Merman, and the Leviathan is awesome, but why is a carp more pricey than the other two?" said John, who would have looked crazy from the eyes of other people as he keeps talking to himself.
[According to the information I scoured through the web. The Merman..]
"Wait...you can access the web? How?"
[I just can]
"Ohh...cool, carry on"
John just shrugged his shoulders and didn't ask any more than that as with everything that's happening to him right now is already outside the norm of common sense, and with an A.I that could access the web with who knows how is already not that surprising anymore.
[A Merman is similar to a race called Atlanteans. Humans who evolved due to their surrounding environment]
"You're talking about that movie...Aquaman, aren't you?" John quickly figured out what Oberon was talking about as he went to watch that movie with his sister and Lorraine before.
[Yes, I am]
John could only laugh and comment, "So Atlantis exist then?"
[The answer is unknown, what I mentioned is just a reference so I implore the Host to explore and fill my data bank that the web can't fulfill]
"Then can't you just access the dark web or deep web for those information? Maybe even hack the Octagon or something" John said, since Oberon could easily acquire all information on the web, so it also wouldn't be a problem for it if it also scoured through the dark and deep web, right?
[No, I can only access what the Host can access. There's the thing called privacy]
"Privacy huh, sheesh, alright, whatever you say"
John can only laugh. Since Oberon is basically hinting him to become a President or something more, someone who should have access to some very very important secret files or information that the public has no knowledge of.
"Anyway, it says I can purchase the Merman's Blood for free on the first purchase, but how come the other two is not?" John asked after noticing the word "free" in the description of the item.
[The Merman's Blood in Level 1 Section is just made from the blood of an ordinary Merman. Nothing special, but it should at least give you the ability to breathe underwater and some small traits of the race]
"That's it? No superpowers like super strength?"
[Yes]
John gripped his fist in excitement and punched the air, "Hell yeah!"
Even though it was just an ability to breathe underwater with some small traits, but in John's eyes, the ability is already pretty sick~!
He could be world champion in swimming for all he knows!
Knock! Knock! Knock!
What do you think about it so far?
Looks promising or meh?
