Chapter 4: 4

Darius pursed his lips when Caesar went silent. This… entity's… voice, who had apparently also been the one to greet him into this world, sounded like an enthusiastic robot from a cartoon series, or more accurately like a voice actor being made to speak for such a happy-go-lucky robot that participated in commercials.

However, when it had threatened Darius, its tone had become cold, dripping with malice, making Darius aware that Caesar was not there to be his friend, but merely someone who would watch and probably judge his actions. Still, its outburst had been effective enough to make Darius heed the warning not to utter the Goddess' name in vain.

Well, it was time to deal with what his robotic handler had revealed to Darius, in other words, to check out what sort of 'system' he had received. He had watched a few anime when babysitting the younger generation, so he wasn't totally ignorant on that matter.

'Hm, let's see. Those protagonists normally had to summon it within their minds in those shows- ah!'

Darius smiled when he saw a few prompts appear before him and inspected them one by one.

[Supreme System initializing… scanning host… assessing capabilities, potential, and history… done.]

[Welcome to the Supreme System version 1.0! As this is the first iteration of this system, there might be a few bugs and issues with the mechanics herein. Please look forward to occasional updates that will make the symbiosis more stable!]

[Supreme System main menu

A. Character

B. Inventory

C. Database

D. Statistics

E. Settings]

Darius nodded. At first glance, it appeared no different from a generic and simplistic system in those forms of media. He had a hunch what each option entailed, but just to be sure, he did the smartest thing he could; he opened the Settings menu. Here, he saw another list, consisting of hundreds of different options and choices.

Darius systematically went through each one of them carefully and changed those he felt would help make his life more comfortable. These settings didn't allow him to turn off hunger or thirst, but mostly made the system's accessibility more streamlined for users.

After that, he opened the Statistics menu, gazing at the sheer endless lines of numbers and categories. 'Amount of beasts killed', 'Amount of people killed', and the like. Darius found that he could even break it down into subsets, like the number of men, women, or children he killed, nobles, peasants or royalty he met, and more.

Of course, the numbers weren't limited to killing only, as there were many more fields. As one could expect, most of the numbers here were a solid 0 since he had come into being from nothingness less than an hour ago.

Darius left this menu and went over to the Database section. It was a typical encyclopedia-like menu where there were labels for characters, places, items, and miscellaneous knowledge.

It was quite empty right now, as one would expect, but there were a few entries, like one for Vena - Goddess of Games and Recreation, Caesar, and even the Supreme System itself. Darius checked them out, only to find barebones details.

He smiled while scratching his chin. It seemed like there was no magic to it, all that he himself consciously knew was recorded into the database. He couldn't look at a person and know their entire backstory it seemed.

Next, Darius opened his Inventory. He noticed that it was a grid-like space with a black background and white borders. There were 50 rows and 10 columns, meaning that he had a total of 500 squares.

As Darius had learned from the settings menu, he could adjust the stack size between 9, 99, and 999, but this would lower or increase the number of rows and columns to make up the difference.

He naturally chose stacks of 999 because they made the number of rows and columns compact. When he tried to set the stack size to 9, he had to scroll with his mind for 5 minutes before he got from one end to the other.

Darius noticed that there was one item in the first row of his inventory. He 'clicked' on it with his mind and was presented with its details.

[Beginner's Giftpack - Chest

Durability: MAX

Description: This chest contains core items essential for a newcomer to the world of Faust.]

'Well, seeing as Caesar and Vena were kind enough to deem me worthy of such a thing, I should probably open it.' Darius thought with amusement.

[You have opened the Beginner's Giftpack!

Received: 1 Map Interface Upgrade, 1 Small Database Infoblock, 1 Class Initiator (Supreme Quality), 1 Class Catalyzer(Supreme Quality), and 1 Class Actualizer (Supreme Quality).]

Darius obviously understood what the first one was for, and was able to make a guess at the second and third, but the last two sounded a bit… 'unique'. Whatever the case, he decided to check all of them one by one.

[Map Interface Upgrade - Upgrade

Durability: MAX

Description: Add a world map function to the Supreme System, as well as a mini-map.]

Well, that made things straightforward. Darius postponed activating any of them as, as he had not fully inspected all the details of the Supreme System yet.

Finally, he opened his Character menu and was elated to discover it was simple and easy to understand for just about anyone.
