Chapter 5: Chapter 05 - System

[William POV]

A transparent blue screen popped up before my eyes, adorned with numerous words as I began to grin and pump my fists, though it merely looked like I was flailing my tiny child hands.

"Sweet, I can already operate the system and I was anxious it wouldn't arrive until my sweet sixteen," I thought gleefully as I began to read the inscriptions on the transparent panel-like screen.

After reviewing my current lackluster stats, and pondering them, I wondered if the system was AI or self-sustaining, and attempted to summon it.

"Hello system, are you there? Hellooo?"

[ Yes, User ]

Great to know I have an AI-like system.

"Like they say 'In a cultivation world, one can only choose the path to ascend' Good to know there's a way to lessen these restrictions." Pondering, I asked, "System, what do Innate Skills mean?"

[ User, Innate Skill are skills that are born in an individual or are destined to have and in your case you were born with them ]

"System, if I had acquired these skills later in life, would their restrictions be lesser?"

[ If you had gotten them at a later stage of your life then depending on your strength indeed the restrictions would have been lesser ]

"Very well, as long as I become someone who defies the heavens or approaches such heights and shi* like that, I can become the wealthiest and strongest."

"System, can I open the shop now?"

[ Of Course, User you can tell me or click the shop skill and the shop will open ]

Attempting to click the shop skill with my hands, I failed. "System, can you open the shop for me"

The system panel momentarily blurred, then transitioned. It retained the transparent blue hue but with distinct features. The first section featured a search option, followed by categories: Level, Type, Affiliation, Rank, and Cost. Below, a scrolling panel displayed all available items.

Under the category was a scrolling panel where all the Items were shown.

I looked and saw that there was only the first level items available for show.

[Level 01 - Light Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Light - Special - Cost (250 Silver)]

[Level 01 - Darkness Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Dark - Special - Cost (250 Silver)]

[Level 01 - Sun Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Space - Special Rare - Cost (100 Gold)]

[Level 01 - Void Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Space - Special Rare - Cost (100 Gold)]

[Level 01 - Light and Darkness Dual Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Fusion - Super Special Rare - Cost (500 Gold)]

Glancing at the items, I couldn't contain my excitement and asked, "System, if I purchase these, will I receive a scroll or will it integrate into my mind?"

[It will be direct integrated in your mind]

Eagerly, I commanded, "System, use the Money Generator to its maximum, now!"

My words summoned a heavy leather bag that landed on me, spilling gold coins.

"Ouch! So the money appears instantly to me, but it's too heavy for me to bear. System, store the money temporarily."

[I can't, User]

"What? Why?"

[Because the System doesn't have a inventory skill]

"What am I to do with this bag of money? What if someone sees it? Wait, what if no one sees it? I can't bear this weight; am I to die due to my greed? Am I destined to die in this world as a virgin too?"
