## š§ SYSTEM: "Caution-Based Survival Protocol"
Upon transmigration, the protagonist awakens in the body of a weak outer disciple with a hidden System.
This System doesn't reward blind bravery or justiceāit rewards **paranoia, manipulation, and foresight.**
### āø Key System Mechanics:
- **Caution Points (CP)**
Earned by surviving threats, outmaneuvering enemies, and avoiding reckless risks.
Used to unlock passives, enhance perception, or activate defensive items.
- **System Points (SP)**
Earned from missions, kill completions, strategic victories, and deception.
Used to purchase powerful items, techniques, and traits from the **System Store.**
- **Threat Matrix**
Calculates the danger level based on NPC suspicion, sect politics, and exposure.
High threat levels = assassination attempts or political targeting.
- **Optional Missions**
Side objectives that reward hidden traits and unlock advanced features. Usually morally ambiguous.
