Chapter 195 Explaining The System Part 1

Seeing the system stone, I couldn’t help but be a little surprised that such a thing was found in a treasure chest. I figured it would only appear as a boss drop like the first one. But this was also okay because now I could give it to Adel to give to Lance, and hopefully, this would benefit the kingdom that had been so good to me. I put the stone aside and grabbed the other items. There were more pieces of armor, all of which gave stats like vitality, strength, and intelligence. I quickly organized them by type and called for Steven “Steven!”

“Yes, Boss!?” Steven ran over to me. I turned and pointed to the items I had organized. “Everyone who did not get something last time should get something this time. Do it based on what their specialty is. The pile to the left is for melee fighters, while the pile on the right is for casters. These two pieces here should be good for Tom.” I had made sure to keep the two agility items separate from the rest because if things were going according to the novels I read, then agility was best for bow users.

Right now, I do not care about myself as much as I do for everyone else. Just the few items that were handed out earlier have boosted everyone’s combat ability. So the more damage they can do, the better. As Steven was passing out items, I pulled Adel to the side once more and shoved the system stone into her hands. “For your brother.”

Adel looked at the small stone and then back at me before pushing the stone back into my hands. “Right now, it is more important to give it to those you trust. But if I may make a suggestion, I think Sally should get the next one. She is normally on the main front line with you.”

Adel’s words did come as a surprise. I did not expect her to tell me to give it to Sally. But thinking about it, Sally was indeed on the front line the most due to her combat abilities and high natural defense. Not to mention she was now under a double contract with me. The only other people I could actually trust fully would be Sei, Grace, and Sophie. With this in mind, I nodded my head and said: “After this, it will be Sophie and Sei. If we can find more system stones than that, the next one will be Grace, who is our main healer, then Lance. Steven and then Leo….”

I was trying to make sure those close to me all had a system so they could grow faster. But I had to prioritize who got what. Lance was getting a system stone before Steven only because I do not know how many I will be able to find while in this dungeon. If I can get even one more, I would be happy.

The thing about this place is that we do not know much about dungeons yet or how they work. But I do wonder why no one has mentioned system stones yet since I am sure many have dived into some dungeons here and there. Unless the leaders of each country are keeping things under wraps, if that was the case, then it would make sense.

“Sally, come here for a moment,” I called Sally over.

“Young Miss?” Sally came to my side. And like a magnet, as if she would lose her position, Grace suddenly appeared right behind me, standing there about five feet away with her arms folded in front of her. I chuckled and motioned for her to come closer. But after giving it some thought, I also called over Sei and Sophie.

With a wave of my hand, I created a small barrier to isolate us and had everyone sit with Sally sitting next to me. I am sure the others are wondering what is going on, but I do plan to explain things soon. “Faith, why all the secrecy?” Sei asked.

“It’s this here.” I held out the stone that glimmered in the light of the room. “This here is called a system stone. And it allows one to grow stronger by leveling up by killing monsters. At each level up, you will gain five status points which you can use to boost your strength more. I am explaining this to you now, so you understand why I am so quick to take these stones. It has nothing to do with me liking shiny things or anything like that…. “

Okay, so I might be very unconvincing on the last part there, but so what! I am a dragon, after all! Although everyone did give me weird stares. I have once…. A few times, jumped at a few shiny objects in the presence of everyone here.

“Anyway….” I scratched my nose as I continued: “Adel has already gotten her system. And as you can see, she is doing perfectly fine and even raised her stats quite a bit. This stone I plan to give to Sally as she is one of the main tanks. If we find more, I plan to give them out in this order. Sophie, Sei, then Grace. If we get more than three, I will be keeping one for Lance and then handing them out to the others.”

“Wait! Faith, what do you mean by system?” Sei asked in confusion. She seemed to be having a hard time taking in what I was saying. Although it did not help that I was not really explaining it well. It was just that the whole thing was hard to explain without having a visual way of showing them. Or maybe I do have a way to show them?

“Ummm… Well…. Adel, can you open your menu?” Adel nodded at my request, and a blue holographic screen appeared in front of her. This was one thing that was different from my system and the one you get from the system stone. Mine was invisible to everyone else. But Adel’s, on the other hand, was clearly visible to me at least.

“What!?” Sei cried out as she looked at the blue holographic screen in front of Adel.

“Sei, I will explain how it all works after Sally gets hers. It will be easier to explain that way.”
