System Dominance in the Otherworldly Tower

Chapter 04 - The System and Survival

"Ahh...! Did the title effect trigger, let's see..."

Shiva looked at the message being displayed for killing the goblin.

It seemed like there are some conditions for the title to trigger since it didn't trigger when he killed the first goblin, but for now, he wasn't sure how.

So he moved on to reading the text messages.

"Hmm...Oh! I can absorb the stats of a goblin! let's see... It will be good to increase my strength but since the title effect triggers only after getting attacked, it's better if I increase my endurance and health."

It was the requirement for the skill to activate.

"I have to endure the attack to counterattack the enemies or else it will be over. In the worst case I may get one shot, so let's choose Constitution"

It would all be for naught if he got killed in one shot by some random monster while trying to trigger the title so he made sure to select 'Constitution', which increased his endurance and health.

[Your constitution has increased by 2]

A sudden feeling of refreshment was flowing through his body.

"That felt nice, as for the level-up attribute points let's put 2 in dexterity, 2 in perception, and 1 in strength"

"status", He called upon the status window after distributing the stats to see the changes.

"Good, now let's see the wound"

To his surprise his wound was already healing, maybe due to an increase in his constitution stat, not to mention the rusty knife didn't even pierce much through his skin.

so after resting for some time, he got up

"I think I got something as a reward for killing the monster", He remembered the system prompt at that time and checked the messages.

[please open your inventory, to look for a reward]

He was pleasantly surprised by the response of the system, it seemed like the system would answer some basic questions, and he made note of it as he could possibly extract some information from it.

"So there is even something like inventory, huh!"

He focused on the inventory but nothing happened, he sulked saying 'Where the hell is it's but as he continued to focus on it, after 10 seconds, a black window-like thing opened showing him the present items on display.

"so it does have some restrictions, Che, I thought I could use this in battles"

Of course, there would be restrictions.

Imagine bringing out different weapons and surprise attacking monsters with it, it would be possible to have a trump card that way or he may just store a hundred kg weight and suddenly drop it on his enemy's head, there would have been a complete cheat.

Feeling disappointed he moved on.

There were 10 slots with 9 remaining empty,

"I have to do some experiments afterward as to how much a single slot hold or how much weight can it hold", for now, he put all the things he prepared into inventory and looked towards the one slot that was already occupied.

There was a red shining box in the first slot, he read the name it displayed.

__________

<Random weapon box(normal)>

Open to get a random weapon of normal rating

__________

[Do you want to open it]

[Y/N]

"open it", There was no time to get excited over it as all hell was breaking loose outside.

The box appeared right in front of him and instantly got covered by a white light, in the next second the box disappeared leaving a spear in its place.

He extended his hand and grabbed the weapon as a blue window appeared above it.

________________

<Misericorde>

Rating - Normal

Attack - 50

Durability - 100/100

Additional effect - critical hit +15%

A spear that was wielded by a nameless soldier, though it is nothing special, it is sturdy and sharp enough to pierce through Iron.

______________

After equipping the spear, he felt more confident in his ability to kill goblins.

"Oh..! this is nice"

He looked at the weapon from different angles, admiring it.

"Now let's repeat it"

He ran outside, picked up a nearby stone and hit a wandering monster and ran towards the house, closed the door, hid behind, opened the door, and backstabbed the monster with his long spear which entered aimlessly, this was repeated until god knows how many time as he took a short break in between.

It was already night, he was pretty lucky as he didn't attract any large monster aggro.

Assuming that he took 3 minutes to aggro the monster, 2 minutes to kill, and 5 minutes rest in between, he had already killed about 50 monsters from the beginning, as he backstabbed the last monster, a series of system prompts came to his view.

[You have killed lv. 1 goblin]

[you have gained 50 exp]

[you have leveled up]

[You have learned an active skill 'Peirce(E) ']

[You have learned a passive skill 'Basic Spearmanship(lv. 1)']

[You are the 865th Human on Earth to kill 50 monsters

[you have obtained a 'Radom item box(rare) ']

"Ohh..! That's sweet"

He opened the inventory to see his rewards.

_________________

<Random item box(rare)>

Open to getting a random item up to a rare rating.

__________________

[do you want to open the 'Random Item box']

[Y/N]

"Open it"

[You have obtained 'Nameless bow(Normal) ']

"Ugh!! I knew it, there was no way I would get a rare item with my shi*ty luck"

________________

<Nameless Bow>

Rating- Normal

Attack - 75

Durability - 150/150

  Skill:

    Evolve(special):

This bow can be evolved if it consumes any epic item or can be evolved by feeding it special cores.

It is an item which was made by legendary blacksmith '--------', its the last work of the legendary blacksmith, but due to his death halfway the bow was not completed and got out as a defective item, not wanting his final work to be ruined he poured his soul into the fire and gave it a special effect in exchange for his life which made it possible for the bow to reach highest tire if the said conditions are fulfilled.

______________

The item was normal but had a long description to it,

"It's a growth-type weapon, huh? But isn't epic rank weapon too much, I haven't even got to see rare weapons not to mention epic, and again what the hell are special cores anyway?"

"ugh... There are many things I don't know that my head is hurting.."

After calming down he noticed something strange.

"Wait a minute... what the hell am I supposed to do with the only bow, where are my arrows"

[....]

Unlike previously, the system was dead silent now.

"Don't tell me I only get the bow?"

[.....]

"I knew it, you mother****r"

Curses rang out in the lonely house...

***

Somewhere, in what looked like a stadium,

Hundreds of corpses were piled up all around a single human. And dozen of blue windows were hovering in front of him.

[You are the first to kill 500 monsters on Earth]

[you are rewarded with a 'Random item box(epic)']

[You are the eleventh person in the multi-universe to kill 500 monsters in this shortest amount of time]

[You have obtained a chance to obtain a legendary class]

[You will be transported to 'Hall of Legends' in 10s]

And after 10s he disappeared

It was the beginning...... the beginning of the Legendary tale.

The beginning of the unbeatable sword master and a being who will stand above all.

It was the beginning of the legend of  ' SWORD SAINT'.
