Chapter 5: Chapter 05 - System
[William POV]
A transparent blue screen popped up before my eyes, adorned with numerous words as I began to grin and pump my fists, though it merely looked like I was flailing my tiny child hands.
"Sweet, I can already operate the system and I was anxious it wouldn't arrive until my sweet sixteen," I thought gleefully as I began to read the inscriptions on the transparent panel-like screen.

After reviewing my current lackluster stats, and pondering them, I wondered if the system was AI or self-sustaining, and attempted to summon it.
"Hello system, are you there? Hellooo?"
[ Yes, User ]
Great to know I have an AI-like system.
"System, can you enlighten me about yourself?" I asked the system.
[ I am as you have requested a system shop and I have two features that are currently available. First I can you show your current stats and abilities ]
[ Second I have a Shop which allows you to buy anything there is or was in this world and other worlds that you travel ]
"Woh, I can purchase items from other worlds? Cool, cool."
"System, explain my stats to me and why are my abilities indicated as 1.0?"
[First you have the name that states your birth given name.
Then your Potential which shows you how fast you can advance or how good you will be at comprehending any kind of abilities.
Then there's your Realm which shows you which realm and level you are currently occupying]
I nodded, grasping the gist of it.
[After that comes your Stats, where you have your Strength which shows how much force you are capable on enforcing on others as well on yourself.
Then comes your Agility which is similar to speed albeit different as it not only says about your speed but also your acrobatic skills.
Then there's your Constitution which tells you how much force your body can endure at the current level.
And then comes your Luck which is a peculiar skill that depending on it's value might help you through your greatest endeavor and might also be the cause of your worst calamity ]
[ Now last but not least is your Skills which shows your Innate and other skills you have and what they can do and also their level, for example your Money Generator and your System Shop both of which are at their very first level and you can only use a few abilities of them ]
Bemused, I asked, "But System, I requested Infinite Money and a shop that will let me buy almost anything. So Why are they at their basic level?"
[ It became like this because of the restrictions put upon by the World Restriction ]
"World Restrictions?"
[Yes because you were being born with anomalies surrounding you the world chaotic force put restrictions on you so you don't break the balance of this world nor do improve yourself much ]
I asked dejected, "So how much can I generate and purchase?"
[ You can only generate up to 1000 Gold Coins per day and you can only buy the first level things in the shops for the time being ]
"I don't know how much 1000 gold coins are, but I doubt it's enough for what I want." Sighing, I closed my eyes.
[ Fear not, User. There is a solution to these restrictions ]
Hope reignited, I queried, "What solution?"
[You must get stronger!]
"What?"
[ Yes, only by getting stronger can you truly lessen the restrictions on you and level up your innate skills and use more of their abilities ]
"Like they say 'In a cultivation world, one can only choose the path to ascend' Good to know there's a way to lessen these restrictions." Pondering, I asked, "System, what do Innate Skills mean?"
[ User, Innate Skill are skills that are born in an individual or are destined to have and in your case you were born with them ]
"System, if I had acquired these skills later in life, would their restrictions be lesser?"
[ If you had gotten them at a later stage of your life then depending on your strength indeed the restrictions would have been lesser ]
"Very well, as long as I become someone who defies the heavens or approaches such heights and shi* like that, I can become the wealthiest and strongest."
"System, can I open the shop now?"
[ Of Course, User you can tell me or click the shop skill and the shop will open ]
Attempting to click the shop skill with my hands, I failed. "System, can you open the shop for me"
The system panel momentarily blurred, then transitioned. It retained the transparent blue hue but with distinct features. The first section featured a search option, followed by categories: Level, Type, Affiliation, Rank, and Cost. Below, a scrolling panel displayed all available items.
Under the category was a scrolling panel where all the Items were shown.
I looked and saw that there was only the first level items available for show.
[Level 01 - Light Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Light - Special - Cost (250 Silver)]
[Level 01 - Darkness Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Dark - Special - Cost (250 Silver)]
[Level 01 - Sun Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Space - Special Rare - Cost (100 Gold)]
[Level 01 - Void Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Space - Special Rare - Cost (100 Gold)]
[Level 01 - Light and Darkness Dual Breathing Art - Breathing Skill - Fusion - Super Special Rare - Cost (500 Gold)]
Glancing at the items, I couldn't contain my excitement and asked, "System, if I purchase these, will I receive a scroll or will it integrate into my mind?"
[It will be direct integrated in your mind]
Eagerly, I commanded, "System, use the Money Generator to its maximum, now!"
My words summoned a heavy leather bag that landed on me, spilling gold coins.
"Ouch! So the money appears instantly to me, but it's too heavy for me to bear. System, store the money temporarily."
[I can't, User]
"What? Why?"
[Because the System doesn't have a inventory skill]
"What am I to do with this bag of money? What if someone sees it? Wait, what if no one sees it? I can't bear this weight; am I to die due to my greed? Am I destined to die in this world as a virgin too?"
