Actually, the boy had never expected an answer. All the web novels he had read clearly gave off one clear message: The System is omnipotent and it's origins are mysterious. So when he got the answer he was completely flabbergasted.
(..Wow, to think that the existence of the legendary 'System' is so logical. Ah, I will just call you guys as the 'System', the name of your civilization is rather... enlightening.)
{Indeed. Our language doesn't have a form that can be 'spoken'. It is too complicated to be expressed in sound waves.}
(Third, why am I a valuable sample?)
The same human-like voice answered.{As we are born as information beings we don't have any material desires even if we create a body for ourselves. Therefore it is our goal to accumulate as much knowledge from different civilizations as possible. You are a unique being, as you will be observing a different civilization from the point of view of your own. Therefore you were chosen.}
(I see. Can I ask the other questions later?)
{Of course.}
The voice reverted back to it's former robotic tone. {Please register your name.}
The boy thought for a moment, [I am going to start a new life from now on. A new life, a new name. Anyhow my name it too damn long in the first place. It will also remind me too much of home.]
(Felix. Just put it as Felix for now.) A soft click could be heard in the background.
{Registration completed. Congratulations! As a new member you are given a starter pack of 20x SP, 100x RP and 1x Random skill ticket}
Felix was a bit surprised to see it go so smoothly and asked, (That's it? I thought there will be more procedures.)
{Rest of the procedures are already completed. Only a name was required to register.}
(By the way who are you again?) He asked, he felt like an idiot for not asking that before.
{I am your assistant. It is my job to monitor your progress, issue missions and quests as well as provide for your needs}
(Hmm? What about your name?)
{I do have a name. It can't be translated into sound waves though.}
Felix shuddered thinking what sort of amazing names these fellows must have.(Ah, ok.... by the way, what does SP and RP stand for?)
{SP is Skill Point. You can use them to buy various skills at the skill shop. You can earn them by completing various missions and quests issued, or by obtaining rare knowledge. RP stand for Resourse Point. You can buy various resources at the resourse shop. They can be acquired by a similar process as above. You earn both at the end of each month as salary}
(Wut? I am employed? But don't I have to complete quests to earn EXP and then level up to get these points?)
{....Why would it be so. This is reality and there is no easy way to increase your power other than earning it. EXP and levels don't exist.}
(Gah! To think I would be reprimanded by a system of all things on this subject..)
{This, 'System' as you call it, has been existing for billions of years before Earth invented novels, thought?}
(...Fair point)
{Warning! Due to dimensional storms there is 20% chance of deviation from the destination}
(F*ck!! The number just jumped, and a big jump at that!! How much time until I reach?)
{2 hours in Earth time. Due to unforeseen circumstances it is recommended to use the skill points before reaching the destinations.}
(Of course! I almost forgot about that. I got to get a bunch of resistances for sure. What if I end up at the bottom of an ocean? Or above the mouth of a volcano? Or starve to death in a desert?)
{Open the skill shop?}
(Yes!!)
