Chapter 2 - SS Rank Trait

"So basically what you want is me to build or conquer an entire world?"

 

[Yes, exactly just as expected from the James Avion, would you like to access the lottery as well as your noobie pack?]

 

"Yes"

 

A large lottery wheel appeared and immediately began to spin. James patiently waited to see the exact reward he would earn.

 

This lottery had ranked items, potions, elixirs, skills, traits, titles and stat points. To James all of these were trash since he did not even understand the basic structure of the world he was in.

 

 

Mid-way the lottery stopped and displayed an error prompt.

 

 

[Detected that the host has too much luck value and the lottery had changed to the Supreme Lottery. Once this error was fixed everything would go back to normal.]

 

Anastacia could be said to have been shocked even more than James.

 

[What type of error is this, isn't the Supreme Lottery something that provided legendary and supreme grade rewards.]

 

The lottery landed on potion and after some randomizing a potion came out and it appeared in James's hands.

 

 

"What is this?"

 

 

[Congratulations you have earned the S grade potion 'Potion of Flame' would you like to open the noobie pack.]

 

"Yes"

 

 

[ERROR!!! ERROR!!!]

 

 

[The host luck value is currently too high. The pack grade has multiplied a hundred times and instead of gaining the F rank skill Appraise you are now receiving the SS rank skill Bookworm.]

 

[Trait: Bookworm

 -Grade: SS Rank

-Details: Otherwise known as the book of truth that can answer any question within the current world easily. In order to fully understand and comprehend it comes with two S rank skills, Appraise and Encyclopedia. Appraise can see the perfect details of an object or living being while a person can ask Encyclopedia to answer any question involving current world.]

 

'So basically encyclopedia is this world's AI only that its answers are 100% accurate and Appraise allows me to know fully anything I want.'

 

[James would you like to see and view your stats?]

 

"No firstly I have to test out my new skill on this potion."

 

[Potion: Potion of Flame

 

 -Grade: S rank

 

 -Details: A potion made by the potion crafter 1000+ years ago using the heart of a fire dragon and the soul flame herb

 

-Effects: Increases flame immunity by 3 points, unlocks flame affinity and it allows compound and detailed aura manipulation

 

-Side effect: Burns the body and can lead to death]

 

"Anastacia how does the encyclopedia work?"

 

[I and the system have totally bounded with it meaning I can answer all questions and probably in my absence the system will answer for you and best case for long and boring information it can be placed directly into your brain.]

 

'Absence?' James thought and then asked "With my current state in mind should I take the potion or wait for proper measures."

 

{[Yes, the host does not know but the truth is that you already possess A+ grade flame resistance and affinity, so you can take the potion directly. Due to you having flame resistance and affinity the potion's effects will reduce by 50% and only work for aura manipulation.]}

 

After drinking the potion James decided to view his stats and they got displayed fully.

 

[Race: Human

Name: James Avion

Title: None

HP: 350/350

Swordsmanship: None

Magic: None

Aura: None

Power level: 7 (Higher than normal human being)

Leadership: 95 (Very High and level of an emperor)

Influence: 00

Willpower: 98 (Inhuman)

Intelligence: 97 (Are you honestly human?)

Charisma: 99 (Too good to be true)]

 

As for the traits and skills, James found the list endless but the only thing of note was that he had was his SS rank trait 'Bookworm'.

 

Also he realized that he was still naked so he asked the system for some basic clothing. Standing to scan his environment he could not find any village or city within his sight.

 

"Where is the nearest village or city?"

 

[The nearest city is Anarsha which is located a few kilometers away. The city is ruled by Baron Helm who is known as a lord of war who gained his title through sheer hard work. He is a peak grade advanced class knight and has his second ranked soldier 'Nash Rio' a high rank advanced knight.]

 

James thought to himself that the distance was quite great but as if it was fate a small cart stopped right there.

 

The driver of the cart asked "Are you by any chance going to Anarsha if so I can give you a ride." James answered "Yeah of course don't worry about payment I believe that I can pay you enough."

 

He finished conversing with the driver and approached the back of the cart which had three more men inside and some carriage.

 

The coachman quickly reacted "Don't worry about these guys, they are just the adventurers that I hired since I heard that these parts of this forest are dangerous."

 

'Why is he so kind to me', James asked Anastacia and she did not waste any time and answered.

 

[This coachman is semi well known merchant known as Caret and through his experiences he has been in contact with a small chunk of nobles' so after seeing your appearance and demeanor he thought you were a member of nobility.]

 

'I said I would pay him but I currently do not have a single cent on me is there any way I can raise a lot of money in a short period of time.'

 

[There are some methods to quickly raise money and some of them are quite easy. Firstly you can sell all the herbs you harvested a few minutes ago for a total sum of 3000 silver coins. The next is to access the system function 'store' but it will unlock after you reach the stage of an advanced knight, with it you can buy lab grown diamonds and carbon weapons for a high price. The last method is through investments guided with encyclopedia.]

 

James got excited by these words almost totally forgetting that he was still standing silent despite Caret trying to tell him that the adventurers were not dangerous.
