With the sudden appearance of the system screen in front of Amitesh, he panicked and lost his balance on the railing. Making him fall on the ground.
"What the hell is this?" He said, making a fireball on his hands as he stands up.
"Hey, Amitesh, calm down." Gauri said, coming close to Amitesh to help him stand up.
"Gauri, can you see that thing? What is it?"
"I will tell you first; calm down a little." She cleared her throat before speaking. "It's a system, or you can say my system. The one in novels and those manhwas you know."
"Wait, your system—when did you get it?"
"One year ago when the apocalypse started"
"Oh wow, that's amazing." He says with eyes shining with bright light.
"Amazing you think that; then go on and talk with him, you will feel really amazed." She said.
Even if she said that with a smile, there is a teasing tone in her voice that makes him feel a bit uneasy.
The system window pops in front of him.
System: So Amitesh, it's your birthday today.
Here, take your gift. I have three gifts for you.
1) Special eyedrop (one-time-use item; once used, your eyesight will be back to normal)
2) 10 cm growth in height
3) Special skill
Do you want it?
"Yes," he says, nodding.
System: You have to get connected to the system first; you need owner permission to join it.
"Owner's permission?"
"Let me tell you." Gauri steps forward to explain.
"My system has very unique features; I can share it with others, and it's given me info, tasks, rewards, and danger alerts, and also taught me. By sharing a system with others, I can borrow their power and skill when I need it. Do you understand now?"
Amitesh: yes
Gauri: Ok then, let me add you.
System: Congratulations, you are the third partner of Gauri; claim your rewards now.
Amitesh: Who are the other two?
System: Zoey and Dr.Priyank. click on clam now to get you gifts
He click on rewards.
System:- Good the gifts are on their way
It will be in 10 minutes.
"Wait I can really touch it". He grap the screen and that rolling it in his hand and shaking it.
System:- What are you doing stop it 🫨
Amitesh: Sorry, I got a little curious.
System: Ok, so to pass time, let me tell you two about cultivation that is now possible because of the apocalypse.
Gauri: I already heard it 3 times; I don't want to hear the same stuff again.
System: You have to; it's my order. Now cross your legs and listen carefully.
System: So let's start. In this world there are many energies and things that can help you to get strong and cultivate.
First is ki also know as Qi,chi and vital energy you can call it anything
"Ki is present in all living things, and it can be increased and decreased by the will of a person or living organism. Ki is used to temper the body, make it strong, and make it more suitable for cultivation.
The levels of cultivation are
- Ki foundation
- ki absorbing
- body temper
-ki transformation
One can skip this, but it is essential for cultivation. Amitesh, you skip all these foundation levels, so I will teach you how to do it.
The second form of energy, which is used to control the flow of Ki, is known as Qi. Mastering Qi allows individuals to harness their inner strength more effectively, leading to enhanced physical capabilities and mental clarity. By integrating both Ki and Qi, one can achieve a higher state of cultivation and unlock their full potential of physical body.
The second type of energy, which is used to control elemental energy, is known as mana for this world. After one individual awakens his elements. For humans the awaking age is 15. When your element is awakened, you can use that element.
Like you, fireball and etc.
The third type of energy is called Dou Qi or Dou, which is a physical form of energy that can be used to create armor around you and to create some solid structure according to your imagination.
There are other forms and types of energy, but I will tell you that later."
"My god, finally it's over." She said, standing up and pulling more cigarettes from her pocket.
"Just how many cigarettes do you have?"
"One whole box," she replied, lighting the cigarette.
System: 10 minutes complete; gift arrived.
An eye drop appears in front of him. He looks at it with critical eyes; the thing that can truly make eyesight back to normal is a truly amazing thing.
Amitesh: Well system, I want to ask something.
System: Sure, sure hurry up I am omnipresent i know everything.
Amitesh:- Well, you said that cultivation was possible after the apocalypse. I want to know why—what exactly did the apocalypse do to make cultivation possible?
System:- ... Error 404: Information not found.
"What the fuck!!!" He then turned to Gauri. "Now I understand why you were so eager for me to talk to the system."
Gauri chuckled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "It's not every day you get to poke fun at an all-knowing system," she replied, leaning closer.
"Well, whatever," he said, rolling his eyes away.
"So how do I use this eye drop?"
System:- Just put it in like normal eye drops.
"Ok."
"Well, it's your birthday, so I want a party." Gauri says, clapping her hands together.
" It's the apocalypse, and you want to party well in that term, I have collected many liquor bottles. you might enjoy it." He said putting eyedrops in his eyes
"Well that's wonderful." Gauri replied with a grin. "Let's make it a night to remember, even if the world ends lead the way."
System: You will be unconscious for five hours after you put in eye drops.
With that said, Amitesh falls on the ground; his eyes close, putting him in deep sleep.
"Hey Amitesh, wake up!" She said, shaking him a little.
"Stupid system, can't you tell that before, so that he at least just tells me where he stores those liquor bottles?"
System: Your friend is unconscious on the ground, and you are worried about wine, liquor,and alcohol. This girl of mine is truly an alcoholic.
"Shut up" she yelled at system while lifting up Amitesh on her shoulders.
