A flood of information overwhelmed Corvus, his emotions fluctuating wildly between confusion, excitement, and anxiety. Before he could fully comprehend the cascading alerts and messages, his vision dimmed, plunging him into darkness.
[ EMERGENCY SURGERY SUCCESS, REBOOT SUCCESSFULL ]
[ WELCOME HOST]
[ CHOOSE A NAME FOR THE SYSTEM ]
Corvus woke up groggily from system induced coma, or whatever it was, he was a little irritated by the sudden action, he is yet to determine for how long he was unconscious. He remarked, " System, I name you Siri, Could you please accept this name, and if possible, reduce the notification sound, I am sort of little jaded by it'.
[ CONFIRMATION RECIEVED]
[ SYSTEM RENAMING SUCCESSFULL]
[ HI, I AM SIRI ]
Corvus sighed, "Hello to you too, Siri. Can you replace this electronic sound with the female voice assistant from iPhones? Also, you don't need to type in all caps—just speak directly into my mind. Would that be alright?"

"Hello, I am Siri".
A voice appeared in Corvus's mind, it sounded exactly like the one he used to hear on his phone, a sense of familiarity, this was quite comforting to him. he replied-
" Hello, Siri, please to be your acquaintance. So what now? Status, Main Menu, Pause Menu?".
Corvus Marvolo Lestrange sat in his ornate room at Lestrange Manor, his small hands shaking with excitement and anticipation. Before him floated a translucent screen, displaying the fantastical interface of a system he'd only dreamed of. It was akin to the intricate menus from his favourite games like The Witcher 3 and Skyrim, yet this was real—his own personal system, activated on his seventh birthday. The screen blurred the world around him, making everything else seem secondary.
His Character Bio was on the right, a list of navigable options on the left, and at the bottom left corner was a small icon with a question mark labeled "Ask Siri." He took a deep breath, steadying his racing heart. This system was more than just a tool—it was his opportunity to change his fate in this perilous world.

Corvus's eyes hovered over the options. Quests, Inventory, Location Map, Skill Map, Talent Map, Affinity Map, Store, Encyclopaedia, Inbox—each one held endless possibilities. But the shining beacon of his excitement was the store.
"Ask Siri," Corvus murmured, and the interface responded instantly.
**Siri:** *Hello, Corvus. How can I assist you today?*
Corvus grinned. "Tell me something about yourself, Siri?"
**Siri:** *I am an advanced magical system designed to assist and guide you. My functions include providing knowledge from a vast repository, assisting in decision-making, and offering solutions to various problems. I can also provide alerts and cautions regarding your actions and decisions. My primary function is to help you achieve your ambitions in the most efficient way possible.*

Furthermore the choice of templates depends on the mission chosen, and the difficulty associated with it.
Please note the all store purchases and template skills are subjected to current world optimization in order to ensure seamless performance and experience."
"Show me the store then!" he commanded.
The interface transformed, displaying an extensive array of options, each more tantalizing than the last. He could barely contain himself as he scanned through the list of powers and abilities. Sharingan, Devil Fruits, Quirks, Haki....the choices were endless. But then, he saw the prices. His excitement plummeted.
"5,000 Destiny Points for a single tomoe Sharingan?" Corvus muttered, his heart sinking. "That's… that's insane!"
**Siri:** *High-value items do come with high costs. However, there are more affordable options, especially with the current newbie discount. You also have a Novice Gift Pack available. Furthermore, once you complete the associated quests of that Ninja World, the prices associated with Ninja World products would be adjusted accordingly."
Corvus perked up. "Hmm Sounds complicated, Novice Gift Pack? Open it!"
The interface shifted, revealing the contents of the Novice Gift Pack:

Corvus's eyes widened. This was perfect. So many options, he goes through each and every options, one twice thrice. But multiple
"Siri, about the templates, talents, and affinities can I change them later? Like, pick one now and switch it out later?" Corvus asked.
"Modifying and merging talents and affinities is possible depending on the situation," Siri replied. "However, once chosen, templates and talents cannot be discarded unless under special, rare circumstances. Your choices will have lasting consequences on you, so choose wisely"
"In that case, I would choose Tony Stark. No, wait! Bruce Wayne? No, I'm a mage. How about Loki? Ugh!" Corvus groaned, overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices.
As he scrolled through the templates, his mind buzzed with possibilities, each character offering unique strengths and paths. The weight of the decision pressed heavily on him—one wrong choice could shape his future irrevocably. Then he noticed a stange phenomenon, all free templates available has age or time written in bracket, and charectors at that age or time may not have been that strong in the forst place, confused Corvus asked,
"Siri, the people mentioned under the template section, their versions that is available are all very weak, far from their peak, any particular reason why, is this by design? "
**Siri** Sir, it is as per design, with the activation of templates you would gains their knowledge and memory, in order to ensure , fairness, the gift pack is giving you such gifts, but, in future as you complete Missions, you would get corresponding destiny points and awards including full versions of templates.. Please note, the template chosen as your first one, is special, it can be upgraded and grown, based on user skill enhancement, usage and merging of Acquired template shards..
This got Corvus thinking again, each template seems equally important as the other. His eyes narrowed on two Uchiha names. The Sharingan has a huge value and potential especially in the world where Mind Arts exist. He is not sure about how Sharingan would work here in this world.
He checked the options again, Tony Stark Template would make one a technology powerhouse, the options from the same Universe is Loki and Dr. Strange. He could also opt for Dr Strange, that wuld give him enhanced mobility, just circle your hand, go to Hong Kong for Morning tea, to Dubai for Lunch, come back to London for Supper, Finally, New York for dinner. This certainly sounds fascinating. Then there is Aizen Sosuke, Kisuke Urahara and Byakuya Kuchiki- Grand Strategist, Prop Master, and the one who looks cool even on the toilet. Garp, Ace and Mihawk is also there, but he ignored them, he is a mage, not a melee fighter or a swords hacker. Yet he pondered, May be Haki can be used through Magic, Corvus thought, Observation Haki can act like a Sonar Detector, Armament can be used as an Armour, and Conqueror's Haki will be used for AOE attacks. Finally, there are 3 characters from Mahabharata, Arjun, Karn, and Lord Krishna. And Batman, Shazaam and Aquaman. Although the versions availablr are weak, but he can improve the Acquired skills over time..
More he looks through the options, more he feels, that this Novice gift pack is a trap. If you choose wrongly, you would be stuck with your choices. It was obvious to him, that his choice would shape his future in this new renewed life. He needs to take informed choices, he cannot shop like a rich overlord in a shopping mall. This needs thorough research.
On the misty evening of January 23, 1978, the ancient Lestrange Manor exuded an eerie, haunted charm. Flickering yellow lights illuminated a single room where a young boy sat by the window, scribbling furiously in a notebook and muttering to himself.
Corvus never imagined that he would spend the eve of his birthday doing relationship diagrams between Templates, Talents and Affinities.
His Golden Finger—the system—brought hope for the future and, unsurprisingly, a lot of work for the present.
"There must be some sort of correlation between templates, affinities, and skills," Corvus mused, flipping through the menus.
"I need to figure out the connections and choose an optimal template, a corresponding supplementary affinity, and relevant skills." He meticulously compared the store menu and the gift menu, taking detailed notes in his notebook as he analyzed his options..
Now, he needed to consolidate his options and plan meticulously, choosing the right template and probing the system for every bit of information available. At times, he questioned if he was being overly paranoid, but the memory of Lord Voldemort's eerie red eyes quickly dispelled any such doubts. He couldn't afford to be careless—not when the stakes were so high.
When you have a Family, that is going crazy year by year serving a Lord, whose temper tantrums are legendary,.
When you already knows what awaits, his family, his country as a whole,
When you know that future that is supposed to happen, the knowledge although it gives you an edge, it also bound restrict his freedom of choices,
Would a person able to live with the fact that knowing what would happen, he did nothing, just stayed in his comfort zone?
Would he let his Godfather sacrifice his life, to die a death of an unsung hero?
Would he just stay silent when Voldemort would eventually embark on his killing spree and blow himself up trying to outdo a prophecy?
What about Harry's Initial Home Life?
Should he care about him at all?
What about Albus Dumbledoor, the other Chess Player?
He still has not figured out whether that guy is evil or misguided, is he just a hidden darklord? Who could using om Riddle, to further his ambitions? To consolidate his power further?
Questions begets more Questions, Answers are no where in sight, Lots of choices, at hand and but which one is the best choice, he is yet to figure out.
He needs to advance step by step. First Analyze the pieces at hand and their utility then, figure what ways to acquire more pieces. Question Remains, which set of choices would yield him optimal results with minimal risk.
