‘What?! Did I gain my stats?! System, show me my profile.’
[Right away, host.]

Evan carefully read his stats, and he was surprised by this. Finally, his stats changed, he could get stronger like others as well.
‘This still looks awful, but I did get stronger. So if I finish more quests, I will get even stronger.’
[Don’t get emotional now, host. This is not even the start, you will get far stronger than this, you can’t even begin to fathom it.]
[Complete more quests, host. One is right in front of you.]
Evan knew what he was trying to portray. It was about his other quest to conquer Celestina.
‘I know that. But how will I do that, she is my aunt and I don’t think she even thinks of me like a man, I am just a child for her.’
[Then show your manliness, host. Show her what you are capable of.]
‘What I am capable of? She is a powerful hunter while I don’t even count as a normal human.’
[That seems to be the problem for now. Why don’t you check the system store, you might find something in there, that may be helpful for you.]
‘System store? I have never heard about it in my previous world and not even in the memory of Evan, what is it anyway?’
[That is only specific to you, host. The more quests you complete the more points you will earn and you can purchase anything from there, literally anything.]
‘Hmm, then let me check.’
[Don’t fret, host. Let me do that for you. You won’t be able to move anyway.]
‘Huh?…’
Evan was confused as to what the system was trying to say, but then he felt something.
It all came at once, all the pain he should have felt while completing his training, he felt all that at once, leaving his body immobile.
‘T-this pain… it’s nothing? What’s happening?’
[I already told you, host. The potion you took was of higher grade, so it won’t have major side effects as the normal one, you should thank Celestina for that. But you still won’t be able to move for a while.]
‘So that’s how it is?’
[Yes, host.]
‘All right, open the system store.’
Saying that, the system screen scrolled down by itself and a display of stores was seen on the screen, which by itself opened up revealing a few different options, they were skills, ability, physique, bloodline, potions, and weapons.
‘Skills, ability, physique, bloodline, items, potions and weapons… Can I buy anything I want from here?’
[Yes, host. If you have enough points, you can buy anything from here.]
Evan looked at the 7 options in front of him, skills, ability, weapons, items and potions, he could understand what these things were and how did worked, but not the remaining two, he knows them but what uses they have.
‘System, what are the physique and bloodline? Do I have them as well?’
[Physique and bloodline are the most powerful aspects to get stronger. Someone with a powerful bloodline or powerful physique is already far stronger than normal people and yes, you have them as well but they are sealed for now, after fusing with other fragments of unknown, you will know what your bloodline and physique are capable of.]
‘Ah, but what do they do actually? Are they the same as those in fantasy novels like those in cultivation?’
[They are indeed similar. Cultivators exist in real, though they do not exist on this planet. Once you travel to other dimensions, you will know about them.]
This information provided by the system excited him, when he wasn’t able to gain any power he used to read those novels where the main character gets a sudden superpower or a master in a ring and gets stronger, thrashing his enemies to the ground. He also dreamt of having such things, but he never got any.
‘Can I also become a cultivator?’ he asked excitedly.
[I understand you, host. Yes, you can become a cultivator, right now in fact, but I don’t recommend that just yet, if you start to gather Qi inside your dantian right now, that will be impure, I recommend you start your cultivation journey after you gain your physique.]
‘So, if I start cultivating after I gain my physique, I will be able to gather pure Qi?’
[Yes, host.]
Evan was a bit disappointed, but he still said,
‘Alright…’
[Don’t be disappointed, host. Let’s check the st-]
‘System, why are you helping me so much? Now, that I know you aren’t fake, I want to know why?’
The system was silent for a while and replied after a brief moment of silence,
[It’s good that you don’t trust me completely, host. You should never do that, but I want to tell you something, I can never harm you nor do I have the strength to do so. As for why I am helping you, I don’t have the authority nor do you have the proper strength to know that yet. So, I request you to don’t ask me this again as this will be my answer every time.]
[My motive is to make you stronger, and that’s what I will do.]
The system was firm while explaining all that, Evan also went silent after that.
It was true that Evan didn’t trust the system completely, and now that he knew he could get stronger, it was natural for him to get suspicious, for so long he tried to get a single stat and was unsuccessful but now, just doing 100 push-ups and 10 minutes run was able to change his stats, how can he not be suspicious?
Though, he can’t deny that he was still, even if just a bit, happy inside.
‘If that’s the case, I won’t ask it anymore. Now show me the ability that I could buy?’
[I have a suggestion for your host.]
Saying that the system screen changed and revealed a pair of eyes whose name was written as ‘The eyes of all things’.
[I suggest you purchase this. This will be very helpful for you.]
