Greg looked at the window in front of his eyes, not sure what to think about it. Something deep down told him that this would change his life, but how he did not know how these changes would affect him personally. He could tell one thing though, his parents were both hiding something; at the very least his father was hiding something, his side of the family constantly seemed to think that he was less than them because of something. He investigated the window carefully, seeing it semi-transparent with a strangely ghost like text made Gregory wonder about it. This was like a notification in a game, did this mean there was also a tutorial regarding this new skill like games often have? He looked at the skill box one more time to see if he would find anything new about it.
He thought the dismiss to see if that would work to remove the window from his sight and smiled when it did. Seems I can figure out the ability with relative ease, probably due to my current gaming knowledge and skills. He thought the word tutorial, and a message came up in front of him. This could help, but I am not sure if I really need it. He looked at the message in front of him.
It seems that it would be better to do what I can without the tutorial before beginning, as there are no drawbacks to starting later and I save myself unnecessary instructions by doing what I can without it first. Not to mention time, which is the most limited resource of all. He thought "NO" to the screen, and it vanished before his eyes. Seems everything is mentally controlled. It seems strange though that it would have buttons like this when it is mentally controlled. I wonder if there are certain requirements for the mental control. He then thought "Status Menu." and a screen popped up in front of him showing a full set of information on his status.
Gregory's jaw nearly dropped to the floor upon viewing the status menu, which explained a few things but left more questions than answers. Well, explains why my father's family expected so much of me, I must be a super genius by conventional standards. I would be anyways if I tried anything but video games when I was at home. I bet my father's entire family is made up of legendary great sages, but what does that even mean? On the other hand, I should check my mother's status, if I can anyways. I bet she has some part of this too, which would mean the legendary luck master. As he finished thinking he thought about description on the two classes he guessed his parents had handed down to him, and realized that both were extremely powerful. The legendary great sage did not set any numbers in particular, but mentioned giving massive intelligence and wisdom, combining to mean incredibly powerful active and passive spells. It also mentioned that it would passively raise them extra based upon actions, which meant they would be easier to train for their value than other stats. Legendary luck master was very unique though, saying that it could only be passed down to one linear descendant, and that it added the cumulative base luck of every past bearer.
I have been blessed it seems, but at the same time, I have a bad feeling that I will be in much more danger due to this awakening of mine. I feel like there is incalculable danger around every corner, and that it will lead me to a quick death even with the skills I have. The only benefit seems to be that I am very low leveled and should be able to sneak under the radar until I have leveled up a few times. He then thought to open the skill list, which launched a new window next to the status menu. He also thought to open descriptions for each skill, as none had them currently open.
Viewing this list was almost as shocking to him as was the status menu, as it contained some very powerful abilities. The only problem for him was not knowing how to use any of the passive skills to his benefit, since he had only guesses at how to do anything. Thinking "close all," the two windows before him closed and he gave a brief smile knowing that he could handle this for now. Gregory knew that he had to learn how to use all of the passive skills, and create at least some combat magic skills since those would be his greatest weapons. First though, he decided to head downstairs and see if he could use the reveal skill to show his mother's stats. Running down the stairs, he went to the kitchen to test the one skill he knew he could use. He looked at his mother and thought "reveal" it showed her stats, many of them around the 10-15 range, with the exception of luck. It was off the charts, reaching all the way up to 502. It also revealed that she had the legendary luck master class underneath her name. I thought so, mom is nowhere near normal. At least not by the way a normal person would consider it, this would however explain why she never seemed to get ill or hurt herself in the kitchen like so many others he had seen working in a kitchen.
Before heading upstairs, Gregory grabbed a plate and put one of the lobster that had been prepared for dinner on it. He brought it upstairs with him to prevent his mother from asking why he came downstairs for no apparent reason. I will need to work on training some skills, but I have no idea where I can do that, or how I should do it. If I do them out in the open, somebody is sure to find out. Doing them in the house though would lead to mom find out, and that is almost worse yet. Perhaps the game system can generate a dungeon or training grounds for me to use. That will need to wait for tomorrow though, tonight I need to rest and think on what these new skills and powers will mean for me. Tomorrow, I will definitely train and discover just what I am capable of. Perhaps I will even activate the tutorial to see what it can do for me. He thought only about his day of training tomorrow, not at all thinking about the games he had been so previously obsessed with and enamored by. He knew that the next day was a Saturday and it meant a full day of training his new found abilities, abilities that left his games in the dust.
