Chapter 2 - Part 2. Rendezvous

— Holy shit! — I shouted so loudly that I immediately began to cough. «THE MAIN THING IS NOT TO PANIC! WITHOUT PANIC! WITHOUT PANIC»! I put my hand on the multi-tool in knife mode, which is hidden in the right pocket of the jacket. I'm stroking the blade.

«So, quietly, calmly, all right, we need to stop panicking and, rationally thinking, sort things out. Got a few questions, question one: Where the fuck am I»! When I pulled the headphones out of my ears and looked around, using simple mathematical calculations, I realized that this... mixed forest, and mixed in a literal sense. I'm looking at a pair of fir trees, a few birches and oaks, and I see a palm tree nearby, and some of the trees were like a cocktail of several species. For example, there is an oak tree, but somehow the trunk is strewn with black spots, like a birch, and twisted into a spiral.

«This is the parish, I don't even remember how I got here. Well, though, fuck no, I don't know how the fuck I got here. Okay, question number two: how do I get here pop...». Before I could finish my thought, I heard a sudden sound in my head.

*Dilin* *Has the sys...*

— AA! — I cried out in surprise.

*...tem been successfully installed, welcome to the world of MLP, want to learn? Just say the answer out loud or to yourself*

«Oh yeah, okay, okay, wait, wait, no fucking way, since when do the voices in my head start talking to me? Is it? No, I heard 100% about the system and the other world... Okay, start your training, there are still no other leads».

*To start, you should open the options window, which is a hub from which you can get into all the other tabs, to do this, say out loud or about yourself "parameters"*

«Inventory». I say in my head, to spite the system, if she has feelings at all, but nothing to scare.

In front of me there is a translucent window, divided into many squares, a little above the inscription saying "Inventory", next to a small question icon, in the upper left arrow pointing to the left, apparently returning to the hub, to the right of the arrow there are two items signed as "common inventory", which is now apparently chosen, and "inventory ". Clicking on the second item, the list of "jackets inventory", "trousers inventory" and "briefcase inventory" appeared. I wonder if I can pull anything out of a locked vault if it's in inventory? Okay, I will deal with this later, we should do what the system asks, and then suddenly will be offended. «Parameters». I'm talking about myself, in a moment the inventory disappears, and in its place there is a window of parameters, how not strange.

The so-called "Hub" is a menu of several items, namely: status, skills, tasks, inventory, logs and map, the last two items are marked in gray. There's a little question mark next to each of the items, as far as I can tell, which is kind of a help. I press the question mark next to the map point.

*Map - images of nearby and global land models with various useful labels*

*Currently unavailable, cause: Amitter's curse*

«Well, it is necessary, not only that I got into another world, I was also cursed, thank great-grandfather for grandfather, as they say. All right, the map is clear, but why are the logs inaccessible»? I thought, clicking on the question mark near the log point.

*Logs are records of absolutely all events in chronological order, including system* *Currently unavailable, cause: insufficient rights*

«In principle, logical. Ok, everything seems simple and clear, and then what to do»? And as if reading my thoughts the system said:

*To complete the first stage of training, examine all available parameter points*

«Yup, clear-blown, well, I was in the inventory, look what else there is». I click on the status icon, comes out a window of about this content:

Status:

Name: Anton Dmitrievich

Level 1 (0/100 experience (or EXP))

HP: 48/48

MP: 94/94

Race: Human

Status: Healthy

Titles: None

Characteristics:

Power: 13

Endurance: 6

Dexterity: 14

Intelligence: 38

Charisma: 29

Luck: 5

And there are question marks around every line, as if you don't know what you're doing.

«To say that I am shocked — to say nothing. Yes, this is the most authentic RPG. Oh and there were a couple of questions: how did I survive to seventeen, with five luck? And why so much intelligence? So many questions and so few answers... Okay, no time to despair, next in line we have skills». Immediately after this thought opens a window, but it is empty. Here I see only an arrow returning to the hub. «It's a bug of some kind, that thing, system, answer come on, your joint»?

*At the moment you cannot gain any skill until you have completed the first stage of the training*

She replied immediately. «But... But that's stupid, you're telling me to go through the tabs of parameters, even though one of them is too early for me. What idiot came up with this idea? I, as a self-respecting programmer, can say that this is a very visible crutch in the code»! There was no answer.

«Okay, whatever, whatever, whatever, let's just get it over with. Tasks». Immediate reaction. In the window that appeared I saw only 1 task, in addition to the arrow back. «What do we have here, a quest that I did not take? Interesting, very interesting». I poke at it. The name reads: "Training P.1".

Description: You are using the system for the first time and have volunteered to learn how to use it, until you complete this task, many things in the system will be closed to you.

Purpose: Examine all available parameter items. (3/4)

Reward: Access more chips + 10 EXP.

«Understood, accepted, the moment when I checked the inventory was not counted, though we could. Okay, we need to focus on the positive aspects before I get in the way of this system's creator. 10 Experi, just for the fact that I look at what I will use all the time. And that sounds good. Of course, a freebie - it's always wonderful! Inventory». I speak to myself. And once again one window is replaced with another, already familiar.

*Dilin* *Congratulations to the user with the completion of the first stage of the training, new features have been opened and a new task has been added, we advise you to get acquainted with it as soon as possible, have a pleasant day!*

— Tasks, — I already say out loud, but what about myself, yes? And yes, really, there is a new quest, which sounds like: "Choice of path". Click.

Description: As an archetypal archetype, you need to determine your goals for this magical world.

Objective: To set yourself a goal.

Reward: 10 EXP + Random Box.

«Look, the loot boxes are here, and I'm telling you, you can buy them later in the store. Okay, targets, what do you usually want? The most typical thing that comes to mind is to become the strongest».

*Dilin* *Task "Become the Strongest in the World" successfully created*

"...( ̄ヘ ̄) Easy. Inhale. Exhale. What the fuck?! I just gave an example! It's not fair! System, bitch, greet you from the children of Lugansk. What are you doing, bitch?! Give back fat! Bring back bleating»!

After a couple of minutes of various statements towards the system and its creator, I began to calm down. «Okay, okay, 1:0, but I'll remind you». Thought I'd check out the new quest I WAS GIVEN FOR A FUCKING SYSTEM ERROR. However, I notice that "Path Choice" is not missing. «Hmm, maybe I need to take more than one target? Okay, but this time I will be as neat as possible».

After another minute of careful reflection. It is decided to get maximum exhaust, you need to take something related to that quest on the strength. I choose to influence this world.

*Dilin* *Task "Influence the world" successfully created*

*Dilin* *The "path selection" task is completed, all rewards have been moved to inventory*

«Super, so, what do we have»? I ignore the appearance of the quest about the continuation of training and click on the task about the strongest in the world.

Description: You have decided to become the strongest being in the world.

Purpose: It is necessary that at least 1 of your characteristics become the top 1 in the world.

Reward: 100,000 EXP + Random Legendary Box.

«Okey, this task turned out to be better than I thought it would go. And what about the second one, which was really chosen by ME»? I touch on this mission and a second later before me:

Description: You wanted to influence the whole world, shake it well, blowing away centuries-old dust.

Goal: Do whatever you want, the task will be completed when at least one third of all intelligent adults in this world know about you.

Reward: 45,000 EXP + Random Epic Box.

«In principle, not bad, unless it's like Star Wars, where billions of people live on every fifth planet in the galaxy. OK, I heard something about the fact that I received awards in Inventory». The window of the testament did not make myself wait. And indeed, the box «Similar to the chest of clash royale, in which my little brother plays» lay in the upper left quadrant of inventory. I looked at it for, like, five seconds, and suddenly, like everything else today, there was a description of this box.

Description: A box with a random ability from rank G to rank A.

Nothing, literally no way to give a whole skill, although, knowing my luck, I will likely get something like "constant stumbling". Although, the attempt is not torture, maybe there are no bad skills at all». Having gathered, I press the button "Open". And then, as in the Counter Strike, there is a roulette, which begins to spin at an insane speed. Fly hundreds and thousands of good and not very skillful. And then it starts to slow down, and I'm so excited, it's all collapsed inside. I even close my eyes so I don't have to see what's going on out there, they say people are knocking out knives one by one.

*Dilin* *Skill "Time Magic" added to "Skills"*

Got to my mind. «What? Time Magic? What is this hoof? Well, let's check it out, Skills». I pronounce myself, in anticipation.

To be continued.
