Chapter 74: Side Story: Alex's Cheat Skills Including A System
"Oh, before I forget, what cheat skills do you want in your next life?"
The God Of Worldly Systems asked Alex.
"How many cheat skills can you grant me?"
"As many as you want and as long as it is within my abilities and as long as my divinity is enough to grant your cheat skills."
As many as I want? Isn't that too generous even for a God such as himself?
"It's too much if I were a High God or below but I'm one of the Supreme Gods so I have a lot of divinity compared to other Gods. If you want, I can grant you a part of my authority known as the Worldly System Of Balance."
After the God Of the Worldly System said that, he summoned thousands of colored screens that had different colors which I deemed to be different systems.
"You can pick any of the systems that I had shown you. Each system has different functions and if you touch one of the systems, it will display what it will do and will show a screen interface which will be asked you if you accept it as your system."
"How many systems can I have at the same time?"
"Only one. It will be too much for you to let a system occupy your soul even if you have a soul stronger than the average being. Your soul was strong due to too much intake of the substance that you identified as 'soulerium' which is in fact, a fragment of a system that I had created."
So it was a fragment of a system and the creator of that system was standing in front of me.
I walked towards a system that was colored crimson. I touched that system using my right hand and the said system showed a text on its screen.
What the text said: Blood System- The host will get stronger whenever he consumed the blood of his enemies or allies. Will you accept it or not?
I did not accept it since it would cause me trouble since there would be a chance that my race would become a vampire.
I walked towards another system screen which was dyed in green color. It touched the green-colored system and a text showed on the system screen.
What the text said: Money Is Power System- The host will be able to earn money using this system and can convert either the money the host obtained from the system or the money from the world the host is at into power such as stats, skills or weapons. Will you accept it or not?
This system was not that bad except it would be useless if I don't have any money or the task the system gave me was to kill innocent victims just for earning money so I rather not get this system.
I kept on touching other system and rejecting it cuz some doesn't match my taste and some had ridiculous demands such as the host must be a monster and the host must remain as a virgin.
Every time I reject a system, another system screen would appear and it seemed that the God Of Worldly System kept on replenishing the systems that were in this room whenever I reject a system.
I kept on looking for a system that suited me best from the thousands of systems that were in this room.
The God Of the Worldly System seemed to not mind me taking my time on choosing the system that suited me.
I searched the systems inside the room and predicted it's a function depending on their color.
After searching for several minutes, I found a system that caught my attention. It was a system that was colored golden yellow. It often shone with bright light and emanated a holy-like aura that piqued my interest.
I went towards the golden-colored system and touched it which showed text on its system screen.
What the text said: System Of Light, Goodness, and Harmony- The host will be given tasks and the goal of the task is to either help, save, liberate or protect a certain someone. The host will be given rewards that will improve the host's power depending on the difficulty of the task. Will you accept it or not.
Without any hesitation, I accepted the System Of Light, Goodness, and Harmony.
*Ding!*
*Alex Eternalsoul will be the host of the System Of Light, Goodness, and Harmony!*
"It seems that fate has made you choose that system.", The God Of Worldly System said to me.
I was confused about the meaning of what he said since it was just by pure chance that I noticed this system and not to mention that it was not the first system that I had touched.
"Why do you say so, God?"
"Things are left to be unknown. You will know about it in the later future but now it's not the time for you to know about it."
The God Of the Worldly System said in a neutral voice. He was in a daze for a while before returning his gaze towards me.
"What cheat skills aside from the system do you want to have?"
After I had received the System Of Light, Goodness, and Harmony, I already felt satisfied with my cheat skill which was the system so I had no longer had the urge to obtain another cheat skill.
But, it was still better to have more than less since there would be a time that I would need the cheat skill that I'm going to obtain today in the later future.
Do I need a skill that would make me immune to pain and physical attacks such as the cheat skill that slime from a certain anime had received?
I guess not since it would take the fun out of my future adventure if I wouldn't experience the hardships in my future journey and being overpowered from the start would be too boring, just like what I had experienced after I became a genius.
"So, have you decided what cheat skills you want to receive from me?", The God Of Worldly System asked me.
"Yes, I have decided some of them."
