Chapter 15: New Features

Chapter 15: New Features

'Wait, what new features are there?'

I inquired, intrigued, because this was the first time I'd heard of it.

[Well, you can now harness mana, so previously locked items are now unlocked.]

Edda elaborated. Her remarks made sense as she explained that these updates were previously available but were inaccessible due to a shortage of mana.

'Does having mana affect anything?'

I inquired.

[Yes, even if you had those functions, you couldn't do much because most of them require mana to function. But you can utilize them now that you have mana].

"Okay, enough explanation; show me what new features you've got."

I pushed, eager to see the improvements to the interface.

[Okay.]

Edda then presented a new interface that was separate from the previous one and was organized into five pieces.

=====================

Name: Eden Morton

Experience Points (XP): 00

Gold Coins: 00

[Main Menu]

Status

Inventory

Skills

Quests

Shop

=====================

'You made a lot of modifications there,'

I stated to Edda the considerable modifications in the interface.

The transition from a single list of alternatives to a categorized style makes it easier to navigate.

[It was vital for your growth.]

Edda's response didn't surprise me because I had surmised that whoever sent me here was attempting to make me stronger, and Edda, as an incredible assistant, was doing an excellent job of keeping me in the dark about why.

[As I already stated, you need strength to find the answers to your concerns.]

Edda responded, which I had not requested.

'I understand. Now, would you mind describing these new features of yours? I have a lot of questions.'

[You may inquire about anything concerning them].

Edda responded in a monotonous tone.

'First and foremost, explain what these experience points are and how I get them.'I asked the first question, which appeared on the screen immediately after my name.

[Experience points are a type of currency that can be used to purchase products from the shop.and you can obtain it by killing living organisms or completing different quests.]

'That's a relief,'

I was relieved it wasn't like those affection points you receive when you get close to the main cast.

Because I wasn't planning on engaging with the main characters too much, being too close to them will just cause problems, and I'll keep my distance from them until or unless I want to beat the shit out of them.

And there's no way in hell I'm going to play friendship and shit with the heroes, since they won't hesitate to sacrifice others if it means saving their own life or the life of the bitch they want to fu*k.

Then they'll say, "Oh, I have to avenge my friend," the companion that they used as a sacrifice for their own profit.

'I despise those hypocrites'.

Before I focused on the screen, I said to myself.

[This is before you ever meet them].

Edda's remark was spot on since I despise them for what they did in the game.

'I'll loathe them even more after meeting them,'

I responded, emphasizing that my opinion of the heroic characters was unlikely to improve—unless we count that person.

'Anyway, I can assume about the gold coins going to the next one; I'll check my status later,' I reasoned after promptly transferring my attention to inventory.

I asked Edda because spirit energy was only available to members of the fairy race, and I wasn't one. Other than the fairy race, only one individual may use this energy in the game, and as everyone might guess, she was one of the main heroines.

[You can.That's something related to your bloodline.]

'Is that so?'I replied that getting new information about my bloodline makes me even more curious as to what exactly my bloodline ability is.

I didn't inquire about aether because I know God uses it as an enhanced version of mana, and I'm delighted to know that I can use it,

but like the star energy, I required a powerful body to even use it, so it is low on my priority list.

'Now onto the most anticipated one,Edda, show me the shop section.'

As I said, the screen changed, giving me a bunch of new items to look at.
