After he finally calmed down, Axis decided it was time to explore the mysterious gift he had just received.
With a simple thought, he willed his Personal Interface System to appear.
In this world, once a person receives their first card at the age of ten, the Planet Consciousness grants them this special magical interface.
The interface consisted of three glowing screens that seemed to float directly within his mind, pulsing with a light that only he could perceive.
This system was completely invisible to others; no one else could look at his stats, steal his information, or even know the screens were active.
It was entirely controlled by thought, meaning he didn't need to touch the screens to scroll through his data or dismiss them.
The glow of these screens was supposed to match the color of a person's first card, and for Axis, they shimmered with a clear, diamond-like brilliance.
The interface was divided into three distinct parts: the Left Screen, the Center Screen, and the Right Screen.
The Center Screen was his Main Status Window, the window that showed who he was and how strong he had become.
It displayed his basic info: his name, his age of ten years, his current level of 1, and his card color.
Below that were his seven primary attributes, which acted as the foundation for his power in this infinite world.
There was Strength, which determined his physical power and how hard he could hit.
Endurance tracked his stamina and how long he could fight before becoming exhausted.
Defense represented his resistance to damage, while Health showed his total vitality and life force.
Mana was the measure of his energy capacity for using card abilities, while Will determined his mental resistance and control.
Finally, Intelligence represented his processing speed and his ability to learn new things.
Axis looked at his stats and saw that they were all currently at 0, representing the base state of his body before any growth.
However, his eyes widened when he looked at the "Allocatable Points" section and saw the number 7 staring back at him.
Next, he turned his attention to the Right Screen to inspect the details of his very first card.
The card was named "Crown Helm," and its description read: "Mind protection + vision boost."
It was a special knight helmet card that could also provide physical head protection if required by the user.
The system noted that the helmet could be used whether he was currently wearing a physical set of armor or not.
As Axis summoned the card, the helmet manifested, but it was made of a transparent platinum material.
It was almost entirely invisible, appearing only as a faint shimmer in the air unless he consciously wanted it to be seen.
As he equipped the "Crown Helm," Axis felt a sudden, sharp clarity wash over his entire being.
He found that his brain was working much faster, processing thoughts with a speed he hadn't felt since his days as a student on Earth.
His vision improved drastically as well; he could now see fine details on the distant castle walls that were invisible to his naked eyes.
Axis continued to play with the properties of his card for some time, fascinated by the way it merged with his senses.
He also began to focus inward, trying to sense the flow of Mana within his own body for the first time.
The Mana he could use was nearly invisible, possessing only a faint platinum and gold tint that matched his unique card.
However, as he was testing the helmet's properties, a wave of drowsiness suddenly crashed over him.
He checked his status screen and realized his Mana was running out rapidly.
Because he had not yet allocated any points to his Mana attribute, his natural capacity was still that of a normal human child.
His "Crown Helm" was a powerful card, and maintaining its active effects was draining his small energy reserve quickly.
Realizing he needed to stabilize his condition, Axis looked at his attribute columns once more.
He had seven points to spend, and while most people had to specialize, his diamond-tier growth gave him a different path.
He decided to distribute his points equally, putting one point into each of his seven stats: Strength, Endurance, Defense, Health, Mana, Will, and Intelligence.
He told himself that in the future, he might save some points to use during emergencies, but for now, a balanced start was best.
As he confirmed the allocation, a warm sensation spread from his chest to his limbs, and the grogginess in his head began to lift.
His Mana pool expanded slightly, and his body felt a fraction firmer, more resilient, and more alive.
He dismissed the screens and lay back on his bed, staring up at the ceiling of his room in the white stone castle.
He was no longer just a scholar from another world or a small heir to a knightly house.
With the Diamond Card and his seven-point growth, he was an anomaly in the calculations of this infinite planet.
He knew he had to be careful; the world was vast, and the power of the Counts, Dukes, and the Royal Family was immense.
But as he felt the faint platinum mana circulating through his veins, Axis felt a spark of ambition he hadn't felt in years.
He would master this system, he would uncover the secrets of the cards, and he would find his place in this endless world.
For the first time since his rebirth, the "unreal" feeling began to fade, replaced by a cold, mathematical determination.
Axis Elen closed his eyes, letting the darkness take him into a deep, well-earned sleep as the three suns finally dipped below the horizon.
Tomorrow, his real training would begin, and the world would have no idea what kind of monster was growing in the quiet halls of the Elen Estate.
