004 The Custom Gamer System
[ The Bottom]
"So, where I am now?" I ask, already knowing the answer.
[Pretty much.
Okay, let's move on. Next and Hopefully the last topic will be about your custom Gamer system.
Think or say Main Menu once again with the intention of opening the Main Menu.]
Thinking of opening the main menu once again opens a bright blue screen in mid-air right in front of me with silver accents and writing. The words main menu in large capital letters at the top with only 3 options below it.
[MAIN MENU

Gacha-
Quests- ]
"Only three options, What happened to skills, system options, shop, and the inventory?" bringing up all the options under the main menu I could remember from different gamer fictions.

I Immediately notice the tab at the bottom which is skills. At least I have skills but it looks like it will be different from what I thought it was gonna be.
[The first thing that you will have to take notice of, as it is very important. And that is your Points, you will get points from quests and from killing other creatures whether they be monsters or Humanoid beings. These points will be used on the Gacha System that your Gamer System revolves around.
For now, let us focus on your status. Age and race are self-explanatory so I will not say anymore on that.
Bloodline is also self-explanatory but what is not is the Mutated Phenex next to it. This goes back to the Demonic Parasit we were talking about earlier. When Rical Phenex's body was repurposed for your use, the body of the parasite was still in your new body. So to fix this we empowered the Hellfire that you already had as a Phenex clan member to refine the parasite and add its essence so to speak into your bloodline mutating it in the process. And this gave you the Parasitic Hellflame Ability.
To answer your earlier question about what this ability does. The Ability devours all energy that your flames produce after they have burned an organic converting it to whatever energy your body needs at the time. Whether it be demonic energy stamina or even mental energy if you get a psychic type ability later. The side effect of this is that your flames will not produce any heat outside of the flames.]
So my flames will not burn anything they are not directly touching. This could be a good thing to make people underestimate me. People will think my flames are not hot and immediately think not hot equals not strong.
[As you can see you do not have levels or stats as a normal gamer would have as you will only be able to raise your strength through training, for now at least. The Life energy usually taken from defeated foes will be instead turned into points that can be used only in the gacha, again I say for now.
And before you ask the reason you don't have health points is that the concept of health points belongs to the skill Gamers Body which you do not have but could acquire in the future.]
"You keep saying for now, what do you mean by that?"
[And that question brings us to the next part of your system in the main menu, Gacha. Gacha as I'm sure you are aware is basically a lottery and with most lottery's you have to pay for it. Like I said previously the currency you will is the points you will receive from battle and quests.
1000 Points will get you one ticket to use the gacha. When used the Gacha will go off twice, the first time will be a category. There are five categories, The categories are as follows, Abilities, Gamer features, Items, Skills, and Knowledge. The second time the Gacha goes off will be the prize related to that category.
Any last questions?]
"Yes, just one whats the differences between each category?"
[Okay, Abilities are superpowers, bloodline traits, or psychic power. basically, anything that can be counted as a power.
Gamer features are how you improve your game. It could be anything related to the game from a point shop to being able to level up.
Knowledge is any information you can acquire from the Gacha such as techniques and manuals on portioning.
Items are any physical object from swords to summon crystals.
And finally, skills are the knowledge you have begun to master such as sword mastery, etc.
You Understand all that?]
"Yeah, I think so."
[And finally, we come to quests, quests are missions issued by the system. Quests will not be situational, what I mean by that is, if you are about to die, you will not receive a quest to save yourself, surviving is your reward.
Quests will be more along the lines of, if you succeed in doing this you will get this amount of points etc.
An example of a quest will look like this.
{ROAD OF A HAREM KING
Have sex with 8 women - REWARD 80 POINTS
Have sex with 16 women - REWARD 160 POINTS}
Well, I'm done with my explanations. Anything else you want to know.]
"No, I'm good."
[Excellent]
"Okay, well I guess this is goodbye."
[Till next time kid.]
Undisclosed Sitri Private Hospital
Doctors patient office.
3rd POV
"Hello Lord and Lady Phenex." Says a middle-aged doctor with black hair slicked back with gel, and an immaculate white coat. "I am sorry to call you so urgently."
"Just get on with it already!" Snaps a clearly annoyed Lord Phenex, That clearly does not want to be here.
"Let the man do his job!" Shouts lady Phenex to lord Phenex clearly anxious to hear what the doctor has to say. Worried for her fourth son.
"I'm sorry to inform you but Young Master Rical Phenex Has Sucomned to his Deaseas and has passed away." Hearing this Lady Phenex collapses to her seas tears steaming slowly seeping out on her blue eyes down her porcelain skin but never reaching the floor, the tears simply evaporate before they hit the floor.
'Good Riddance.' Thinks lord Phenex while he tries to comfort his distraught wife. 'The child was just a burden and a stain on the Phenex clan's immortal reputation.' Not even caring that it was his flesh and blood.
"Doctor, Doctor!" Barges in a frantic nurse. Seeing the nurse's face the doctor immediately goes on alert.
"What happened." Asks the doctor.
"It's Rical Phenex, his entire body burst into bright orange flames and we cant put it out."
The doctor not even answering the nurse runs out of the office to see what has happened. Followed by A frantic lady Phenex and an even more annoyed Lord Phenex thinking. 'What has that boy done now.'
Arriving at the high-class room of the young Phenex, coating his body in demonic energy expecting a lot of heat but finding no heat just a boy sitting up looking at him.
"That, that's not possible you were dead. I was there when you flat-lined." Clearly flabbergasted never having a patient that's been dead just coming back to life.
"We live in a very magical world doctor, anything is possible." Says the new and improved Rical Phenex with a chuckle.
