As Rio stirred from his restful slumber, his eyes blinked open to a room bathed in a gentle, warm glow. The chandelier above him, adorned with intricate crystals, shimmered and danced with a new radiance. Its soft light spread around the room, casting a vibrant varieties of colors that painted the walls and furniture.

He sat up, stretching his arms and yawning, relishing in the peacefulness that enveloped him. It was a stark contrast to the restless nights he had grown accustomed to, plagued by haunting nightmares and his troubled past.

From the comfort of his bed, he looked towards the window, through the sheer curtains, he witnessed the breathtaking transformation of the sky. The setting sun, like a majestic orb of golden fire, began its descent, casting a tapestry of vibrant shades of oranges and amber across the horizon. Wisps of clouds, painted in shades of amber and dark blue, stretched across the heavens, adding a touch of ethereal beauty to the scene.

He stood up and walked towards the window, as he removed the curtains, he let his mind wander in the scene of soothing environment and peaceful surroundings. He looked outwards and saw the mansion buildings, gardens and training grounds. Rio's gaze wandered over the intricate details of the mansion itself. The grand architecture, adorned with elegant carvings and ornate decorations, spoke of a rich history and timeless beauty. It was a testament to the legacy of those who had come before him.

"So it really worked."

He said, as he still couldn't believe that all that happenings weren't his dream but reality. Still to be sure he called for system, and soon got the response.

[So you woke up huhh, then I'm going to sleep now]

"Do you even need sleep" Rio asked as his fking system needed to sleep. Does that even make sense. 

[I don't, but I just like it a little]

"And you were calling me lazy" Rio shook his head and clicked his head, at this hypocrisy. 

[And you called me cheesy. If I didn't read your memories, I'd think you really were a petty snotty kid]

"Did you get the points" Rio ignored that point and asked the main question, thinking now would've been enough time for system to calculate, who knows it really did went to sleep later without telling him. 

[Yes, just one moment _

System points - . . . ]

Rio walked back to his bed and sat down while arranging the mattress and pillows to his liking, with one pillow now resting comfortably on his lap, he closed his eyes and for the first time decided to look at his stats.

Stats -

Strength: 5

Agility: 4

Endurance: 5

Intelligence: 16

Mana: 9

Perception: 3

Resilience: 8

[A/N - 10 is the limit for F rank awakeners. 20 for E rank, 30 for D rank and so on... Till SSS rank reaches 100 points. When you cross 100 mark you reach Zephyr rank.

- To rank up every awakener needs to raise all his stats to atleast that limit. It can be more, but never less.

- I don't need to say that as you grow up, increasing even a single point in any one of the stat gets harder and harder.]

As Rio observed his status screen, he was presented with a comprehensive overview of his various attributes. Each stat was displayed with a corresponding value, providing him with a clear understanding of his current capabilities. Here is a breakdown of all the stats he saw:

1) Strength: This stat represents someone's physical power and raw force. It indicated his ability to exert force, lift heavy objects, and engage in combat.

2) Agility: Agility measured someone's speed, reflexes, and overall dexterity. It determined how quickly he could move and react in various situations.

3) Endurance: Endurance represented someone's stamina and ability to withstand physical exertion. A higher endurance stat meant he could endure prolonged activities without tiring easily.

4) Intelligence: Intelligence indicated one's cognitive abilities, including his reasoning, problem-solving, and memory capacity and insight. It reflected his mental sharpness and intellectual potential.

5) Mana: The mana stat measured awakener's magical energy and aptitude for harnessing and manipulating it. It didn't mean control over that power, it just showed the quantity. A higher mana stat meant he possessed a greater reserve of magical power.

6) Perception: Perception measured one's awareness of his surroundings and his ability to notice details and subtle cues. It represented his attentiveness and keen observation skills. Higher perception meant higher intuition or sixth sense too.

7) Resilience: Resilience indicated someone's mental and emotional fortitude. In simple terms there will power, it measured his ability to bounce back from setbacks and not give up. High resilience meant high control over one's on thoughts and instincts.

--

Rio's stats were much higher compared to any newly awakened, because of all the pills and potions he took before his awakening. Pura corpus and Nyx's blessing during his elemental awakening had increased his mana attribute. While the healing potion which healed his brain increased his intelligence stat. His resilience was high due to his messed up mentality of his past life, which completely gave him more experience than someone his age.

[Do you wanna see your bonus stats that I can see]

"Are you talking about the ones from the "

[Yes, but unlike world system I can show it to you now, instead of waiting till that event]

"Fine, show me"

Charm - 8

Luck - 6

World points - ?̶l?̶l ̶]

**[A/N - These were the stats which gets added in world system after phase 2 of Emergence in the , when world system gets an update. This is what they mean -

1) Charm: Charm represented one's charisma and persuasive abilities. It reflected his natural magnetism and his ability to influence others through his aura and charisma. High charm can make you center of attention wherever you go, and gives others a good impression of you.

2) Luck: The luck stat indicated someone's fortune and likelihood of favorable outcomes in uncertain situations. A higher luck stat meant one had a greater chance of experiencing fortunate events or things going his way by simple coincidences. (Luck is the only stat one can't increase by any means themselves, it is directly proportional to world points.)

3) World points - World points are calculated based on one's contribution to Arcadia. It served as a measure of how much good one did for the world and its people. High world points increased luck for free. It could also be converted in other stats, with a certain ratio of course. ]

"Well seeing that Rio is Artemis and Agnus's son, the high points of charm does make sense" Rio said as he looked at his 8 points of charm. But he was surprised as he saw the points of his luck. 

"Hmm my luck's not bad for a villain like Rio too"

[That's cause plot hasn't begun yet, once it does it'll drop continuously over time, till you become the unluckiest person to ever exist. That's how you get your ending of the remember]

Rio nodded his head as he understood system's point, he was lucky at birth, born with a silver spoon, loved by everyone around him, talented and respected - yet it all degraded with time as the plot progressed, till he got nothing left in the world. Shaking his head he looked at the world points stat and was confused as it showed some weird looking doodles. So he asked the system 

" What about world points, can't you calculate it. I should've earned some of them by giving out the recipe of pura corpus or by indirectly getting all those Ditail follower's killed."

[No, I can't count them, that's up to the world system to decide. Only after that events begins, maybe I can hack world system and learn that process, but not now]

"Well I don't need them for now anyway."

"Show me Nyx's blessing"

Blessing -

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

1) Dark manipulation lvl 1 - After seeing your determination to learn and weild darkness even at the cost of your future, Goddess of Night has decided to help you on your path. Since your body has pure channels for mana, the benevolent goddess grants you the power to manipulate the darkness to your will. It is the lowest form of her power - Void manipulation.

- It gives you better control and sensibility to your element, at the cost of high consumption of mana. As level increases the mana consumption decreases.

- 2 times effective when used with any other sub-element, attached with darkness.

"Well, this is good enough for now. With this I can learn shadow magic from Myra and Artemis faster."

Finally after watching and going through all his personal stats, Rio looked below and saw his system points.

[System points - 4900 + 14650 = 19550

Deducting the cost of shop item

Remaining points = 14550]

"They're much less than I thought. You sure you aren't cheating me system."

[Host, save your accusations. I told you the plot hasn't started yet so this is what you'll get. Learn your lessons and try to be patient.]

"And how many points would I have gotten if I did the same thing when the plot begins" Rio asked as he was curious how big of the difference in his rewards would be. It could help him better prepare for his future plans, he could only solve the most important events and people first and leave cannon fodder to farm points later during the plot events.

[Well I did check that and it amounted to a total of - 44700]

"So nearly 3 times huh. You're cheap system."

[Damn you host, I'm at level zero, all of my functions are still locked so what will you even use those points on] System said in anger as ever since it woke up this host has been either questioning it or blaming it. 

(Can't he just be nice like all my other host. I remember some of them even cried tears of joy after I connected with them.) 

(And then there's this guy, if not for that being's request I wouldn't even look at that useless planet and this puny mortal) 

System who was lost in his thoughts and started its own inner monologue, was disturbed again as Rio replied in an enthusiastic tone -"Don't I still have those 3 shop items. I wonder what they are."

[Well, that being said they're his gift for you. So a surprise maybe] System said in the same tone but its thoughts were totally opposite of. (Surprise my foot, I'm sure that potion was some kind of trick. Maybe he's bored like me too and is looking for entertainment, while this guy here happened to get the lucky ticket) 

"Hmm well I'll find out later anyway."

With a final swipe of hand on the transparent screen, Rio closed the system.

[Did you just acted as you hang up on me]

"Go sleep already. You're useless till the plot begins anyway."

(Fuck you)

(I should teach this guy a lesson _ )
