Chapter 40 Authority, New Features

The next morning,

Rain was enjoying a comfortable and peaceful sleep on his bed when a sudden sharp noise abruptly woke him up.

[PLOT PROGRESS STARTED.]

This unexpected sound acted as an alarm, interrupting his sleep and alerting him to something unusual happening.

Rain felt disturbed and confused by the sound, and as he looked around his room, he couldn't identify the source of the noise.

After checking the time, he realized that it was still morning and muttered to himself that he had overslept a bit. To figure out what had happened, he began to check his system notifications.

After a few moments, he noticed something unusual in system notifications that drew his attention.

'Oh, so looks like the plot started.' Rain muttered after seeing the system notifications. He started reading other notifications.

[Congratulations to the Host for making it till starting of the plot. Plot progress will now start. Please make your best effort to survive till the end.]

[Authority level 1 granted. System Store is now unlocked.]

'Oh, as I was expecting that I will get the authority when the plot starts.' Ever since Rain came to know the existence of the Authority he was sure that he will get it someday. He wasn't much surprised as he already guessed this beforehand.

'Maybe, next time it will be upgraded when the plot progress will be 5%. And it will be, around after 3 months.

Till then, I would have explored more than half of this whole island and also restored my Rank.' Rain started thinking about the general idea of when he will get the next level of authority.

'But just with Authority level 1, I can't get much Information. Still, let's try.' Rain shrugged his shoulders and tried.

'System, will the plot end after the Protagonist will graduate from the Academy and kill the last boss monster?'

[Affirmative. The plot will end after the Protagonist will slay 'last boss monster.']

Hearing System's answer, Rain felt like it was playing a game of words with him.

'Hey, wait why are you emphasizing the last boss monster, don't tell me that the last boss monster will be not the same as the game.' Rain was quite concerned. If the last boss is not the same as the novel then what about other things? There were many questions like this in Rain's mind.

[Insufficient Authority level. Information can't be conveyed.]

'So what level of authority do I need to get information?'

[Level 6]

'Fuck. That means 75 % progress. At that time plot would be near at climax.' Rain felt it was waste of time to wait for getting the answer from system. He sighed.

"Let's start asking else. So please explain this System Store." Rain asked.

[System Store is just like every store. You can buy anything in this store with equal change. You can also buy it with points. ]

''Then how can I get these points?'' Rain was curious about the idea of points.

[Host will be given points as the plot progress.

Whenever the plot progresses 1%, on every 1% progress Host will get points.

[According to the formula plot progress *100],

Host can also sell things to get points,

After host survives some major events,

Whenever host's influence on the plot increases, Host can also get points by doing tasks, or any achievements.]

Rain checked his points, and at the moment he had zero points.

'The plot just started, and I don't have any major influence on the plot now. Rain tried to think about the reason for this.

Rain decided that he will just exchange or sold things for points. As his points were zero he guessed his old achievements like Killing Red wolf, Destroying Bandits' hideout, and clearing Nameless Grave gate might not have counted.

He thought when Academy start he will try to do something.

But he was kinda irked after hearing he have to influence the plot. Wasn't the system's name Extra-character System?

Does an extra character have to influence the plot these days? He wondered.

Now he has to make an influence on the plot, are you kidding me? Didn't he just run away from there to avoid the plot?

Now you are telling him to involve in the plot. It felt Ironic to him.

Still, it was within Rain's plans.

'System you are smart. But I am also smart. I will involve in the plot not directly but indirectly.' Rain smirked.

'And there will be a news leak in some time because of my absence from the entrance exam. Fufu.' Rain just chuckled.

After all, he had already thought about being indirectly involved in the plot a long time ago.

With this, he will get quite an amount of points. Then Rain checked the new feature.

'System Store'.

[Valuables]

[Skills]

Rain first checked skills. There were a bunch of skills in it.

Fighting. 100pts

Martial arts. 200 pts

Bow Mastery. 1000 pts

Spear Mastery. 1000 pts

.....

.....

There were so many skills.

Like Fighting, Martial arts, Bow mastery, Spear Mastery, Alchemy, Forging, Stealth, Healing, Stalking, and many more.

There were also some useful skills like

Underwater breathing, Climbing, Mining, Navigation, Animal Handling, Disguise, and many more.

Rain felt that some of these skills would be useful in exploring. There were also some life skills.

Next Rain checked valuables. However, Rain was slightly surprised after seeing it.

'Wait, what's this?'

[Type the name of the thing you want,

the system will charge accountable points.]

'This is quite a good thing. There was also this tab in skills. So I can get any skill or thing from the store.' This feature reminded Rain of some search engines. It was quite comfortable to search like this.

As a try, Rain started thinking about what to search.

'Let's search... Let's check if you can get it.'

Then he typed. 'Panties'

(Impure thoughts)

[Searching contents with Keyword....]

[Host as there are many types of panties. Like briefs, bikinis, G-strings, thongs, boyshorts, and many more. Should I display all of them or do you want to see a specific one?]

Rain was astonished by the ability of system.

"Display all of them." Rain said. He was curious about what kind of search results would come. Soon search results came.

New panties in any color. 10pts

Kaya's panties. 1000 pts

Emma's panties. 1000 pts

Any Heroine's panties 1000 pts

...

....

Carla's panties. 99999 pts

At first, Rain was surprised that the search results came. He soon started reading. There were everyone's panties. Like every heroine, sub-heroines, villainess, and other female characters. Rain felt like he became some degenerate person. Still, he read until the end.

But when he saw the last item. He was shocked.

'What?'

'What the FUCK?' Rain was outraged.

'Hey, system why do you have my mom's underwear?' Soon, Rain started calling out system.

'You are a thief!'

'Pervert!'

'Bastard!'

After saying so many profanities, Rain stopped.

'And why is the price so high?' Rain asked.

[Language Host. The system told you that it can bring anything you want. And about price, Insufficient Authority. Information locked.]

'What level of Authority do I need to know this information?' Rain genuinely wanted to know.

[Max level]

'This useless system!!' Rain wanted to beat the system to a pulp.

[Just kidding, Host. System doesn't sell these things.]
