Game of Will

3 Beginning the Journey of the World

'Desert aye? What a shit fucking place to spawn in.'

Ziade stands there and looks at his surroundings and the bright sun to see what the approximate time is.

"Around 08:00... ok so quite a lot of time to prepare and plan because... I'm not getting spawn trapped." Ziade puts his hands behind his head and looks at the sky, it's a beautiful, bright blue sky... then he suddenly looks down to check something that could be very bad.

"Of course! You had to put me in a stupid child's body with these little useless hands." "Annnnd I'm naked, in a desert, naked, with this scorching hot son on me, I'm most probably going to die because he fucked up the spawn points."

'Did you forget me? The system calmly asks in his head.

"No I didn't! I just didn't want to get done dirty by a cheatin old bastard that has sent me to a barren land with nothing" Ziade responds while his feet are burning and are probably about to melt off.

'First, Ziade you do not need to speak out loud when you speak to me because I am in your very body and connected to your soul, second, you would of died by now from the deserts temperature and your feet would of been already stuck with sand and ALSO you would of died by a sand scorpion named a Simbinoshi by the people of this world if I were not to redirect the threat. Lastly would you like you like to know your System?"

Ziade takes a second to to digest all the information he just got said before answering the GOW.

"How do I talk to you telepathicly than?"

'I have set up a communication Afguma which allows you to speak in there with no extra thoughts interrupting."

"Afguma you say?"

"Yes" The System reports.

"I meant what is it, can you explain with words I can understand?"

'... it is a communication... box inside your soul that allows you to speak freely in your mind without extra thoughts corroding your your mind, I shall guide you towards it'

"Alright" Ziade affirms with a slight smile due to the excitement of the new features.

'All done, now focus on your heart and speak in it then you should be able to get the hang of it in a couple of minutes.'

Ziade gets straight into while sitting down naked still surprised on how he's being guided but with no further questions, he focuses on his heart and seeks to try and unlock it by talking inside. It doesn't work for several minutes until Ziade figures out that he is focused too much and needs to relax and speak his mind.

'This is so stupid and I'm getting trolled.' Ziade says calmly.

'No you're not.'

'YEEEES! I can do it! Ziade excitedly jumps up putting his fist to the sky before speaking again, 'All I need to is speak inside myself, why did you tell me to speak in my heart?'

'Your heart is your body, with no heart you can not live, the heart is yourself'

'... ok, ok cool... I get it'

'What's your name?' Ziade questions. Ziade asks while about to explore the desert but the system warns him not to and that standing still or relaxing would be best, he has protection from the system for exactly 2 days, Ziade accepts this and just decides to clarify some things and get to know the system before leaving, also deciding that if he wastes the two day protection so be it.

They continue on with their conversation.

'Game of Will' The System replies.'

Well I'm not going to be calling you that or system because you're going to be with me my whole life and I think you deserve a name at least.'

'As you wish' Game of Will replies.

"Alright" 'whoops I might need to get used to this, anyway I will bestow you upon a name so mighty that even Elder Kumi will kneel.'

'The creator has kneeled to only one person in his lifetime'

'...who was it?" Ziade questionably asks while rubbing his nose.

'Classified'

'Shit, I thought I could get you to do that... you must know a lot and I assume that by knowing what that scorpion was called, you know everything of this world?... maybe universe?'

'I do have a lot of information in the database.' The system asks.

'First I ask, can I have that information and secondly I've decided to speak in the... Afguma to get used to it so you'll be hearing pretty much all my thoughts from now on.' Ziade says.

'To answer the first question, no you can not due to insufficient funds and some info is outdated also there is always new information to be collected in the database and lastly I do not know everything because I have not received everything, you can still add more information into the database and this will be automatically done there is no need to manually collect and place information in the database.'

'Alright I've got it, now the name I have chosen is... Alexis Okini, the system that will be my partner to reach the strongest! Believe it! Hahahaha... Naruto's stupid but I love the series...' Ziade

'...Alexis Okini... Ziade I have become a sentient system by you naming me..I like the sound of both names and am flattered to have a last name but I like the sound of Okini... so please call me that Ziade.'

'Hahaha that's great and I will, now we can both experience the life... but I guess you can't taste the food I eat or touch... I promise to one day let you live your own life... Okini.' Ziade laughs while still naked and lying down now staring at how blue the sky is, he thinks that how can something so beautiful be unnoticed by so many...

'I'm sorry Ziade but that is not possible I will forever be binded with you and forever be a System and I cherish what my creator, Elder Kumi has given me...'After Okini contemplates on many thoughts Okini continues speaking, 'And from this day forth I will be your guide, saviour and trainer that is what I wish to do... I also will still follow Elder Kumi's terms of conduct or I will be obliterated from existence. So don't go asking for unnecessary and outrageous things because it is most likely not possible. I have also decided to change my voice to a males because it has come to my attention that monotone makes one distant and I wish to not be distant from you, we are teammates who will face many challenges ahead and will many times come a step before death if you wish to be at the top.' Okini clarifys seriously.

'I understand Okni and thankyou too.' Ziade stays silent for a couple of seconds before continuing, 'Now... Okini I still don't know what I'm in for, what exactly can I do with you in terms of functions, tools, etc. Can you explain everything please?' Ziade says sincerely because this will be the partner of his life and he decides to respect him.

'Yes I can, to get started there are multiple tools/functions you can use to your advantage they are: Lottery Jackpot Wheel, Cash 'n' Carry, Inventory, Status, Quests and Challenges. I will proceed to explain these interfaces and how to use them.' Okini explains.

'Proceed.' Ziade accepts with a smile.

'Cash 'n' Carry is a interface where you can spend the funds you collect from either challenges you complete, quests you complete, things you kill, spinning the Lottery Jackpot Wheel or breaking through a certain power level. I will explain power levels at the end. In the Cash 'n' Carry you can buy multiple items ranging from: clothes, accessories, weapons, artifacts, information, medicine and more. As long as you have the appies you can survive. (Appies is the funds of Okini).'

'Lottery Jackpot Wheel is a tool you can operate to win a variety of things, such as skills, appies (Appies are the currency), tools, gadgets, buildings, music, warriors who are loyal to only you, upgrades for me, weapons, artifacts and more. All these rewards are separated into 7 main sections which hold all rewards on the wheel; Skills, Weapons, TGA (tools gadgets and artifacts), Upgrades, Miscellaneous (buildings, music, clothes, medicine, appies just whatever. It's MISCELLANEOUS), Information and Warriors.' Okini explains.

'... I am... very confused right now Okini... how exactly am I... remembering everything?' Ziade says in in a confused voice while secretly wanting to try and open the inventory but restrains himself because he doesn't want to be rude.'

'Oh sorry that is my bad Ziade, I was meant to explain this but you just... we just got carried away. To summarise it... Elder Kumi messed around with your soul and has further enhanced it resulting in you remembering everything unless you completely neglect it, how do you think you remember everything you have done in your previous life?' Okini says while being a little cheeky.

'Hmm... true, ok so has he done anything else... wait how do I not get emotionally distressed or feel major headaches from remembering everything?' Ziade asks Okini while sitting up having his legs crossed while in a confused like state.

'Elder Kumi.'

'Always Elder Kumi aye? Can you tell me how he did it?' Ziade asks with a hopeful face with a slight smile.

'Classified' Okini reports.

'Knew it, can you at least tell me what he did?' Ziade says while having a slight pause between, while also flipping his left hand over then dropping it back on his stomach.

'I... can, Elder Kumi has just enhanced your soul resulting in your brain being unlocked to it's full potential, information on how he did that is Classified.' Okini states.

'Ok than, proceed with your detailed explanation on all the functions please.'

'I will, the third interface that can be operated is the inventory and to use this you just need to think of it then it will appear in your mind, it will not obscure your vision but it might make you neglect your surroundings if you are not paying attention. Inventory is a space skill that is imbued within you and it has exactly 1000 slots which can almost hold everything.

Inventory interface is a space within you where you store things, then make them appear on yourself or one metre from you with your will.'

'My will... 'Game of Will'... something connected?...' Ziade questions but gets a flat answer.

'No'

'...' Ziade still thinking the conspiracy with a mans pride.

'Anyway Okini can I try the inventory or do you want to keep ur... keep on going?' Ziade asks politely.

'Ziade you are my host, whatever you command I shall abide there is nothing I can do.' Okini states with conviction.

'... I will still treat you with respect like I do to others, you are the one guiding me and I wish to treat you as my friend not my slave, I do not want to hear this again from you, do you understand?' Ziade argues with firmness in his voice.

After a bit of silence Okini speaks, '... I do Ziade... and I shall treat you as my friend too even if you... are my host' Alexis Okini replies while obviously being happy inside.

'Awesome, now that, that bad stuff is over with, do you actually hear my voice as a child or an adult?' Ziade responds with a little chuckle and a lowered brow.

'More questions? Well I've been wondering for a bit now, what is your last name Ziade, if I may before answering yours?'

'Farraween, Ziade Farraween, couldn't you just go through my past memories and find this?'

'I could've but I decided to respect you too by only delving into your privacy with permission or of it is needed in the utmost emergency.' Okini clarifies to Ziade.

'Well thank you Okini, I appreciate that, my last name is Farraween because I got it when I married my wife Tara. I never actually had a last name till then but that's a story for another time... so... Inventory or explaining?' Ziade says with a little sadness inside his heart.

'I see, well go ahead and check out the inventory., oh and also you sound like an adult in his thirties to me' Okini replies with happiness clear in his voice due to him knowing that this is the true start of an everlasting bond between men.

"Yees! Well you sound like an overgrown 20 year old to me! Hahaha!" Ziade laughed for quite some time before he starts talking again but just before that a metre long snake covered in hard sand for protection strikes at Ziade!

Buuut just before it could, a forcefield surrounds Ziade, automatically disintegrating it leaving him unharmed.

"Whew... close one buddy nearly got me didn't ya, better luck next time, hopefully you can get that winner winner chicken dinner after you re-spawn, oh wait you can't." Ziade retorts with sarcasm due to the snake that tried to kill him.

After a minute of thinking Ziade says to the snake, "I was just joking, you probably needed food for survival in this shitty desert it was just your fault you happened upon me, Rest In Peace." Ziade respects the snake before using it for himself.

'Inventory!' Ziade thinks before a game like interface with 1000 slots appears in his mind. He looks at the slots and sees that a couple of them are filled and with his will one of the slots with an item pops up with information stating; 2 Beginner free lottery jackpot spins. 'Nice.' Ziade then proceeds onto the other slots to check them out; Desert underwear and robes. Ziade immediately assumes to say equip, 'equip.' It works Ziade now is not naked in desert.

Ziade Farraween then progresses to look at the last one, Sandals. Ziade becomes disappointed in himself for thinking that he'd be given some OP shit first up. He was wrong.

Since he knows how to use the lottery jackpot wheel he makes headway for that. 'Lottery Jackpot Wheel.' He thinks inside his mind while it automatically displays itself in him self.

He notices that the wheel has the 7 main sections, Okini explained to him and takes note of the percentages of each section;

Warriors-3%

Skills-10%

TGA-15%

Weapons-15%

Upgrades-7%

Miscellaneous-30%

Information-20%

'Well this looks fun.' Ziade is standing up with his desert robes and sandals on looking pretty cute since he is a little child with adult looking clothes.

Ziade decides to just spin the wheel by thinking of it, but soon realised he can not do the same to stop it. It is apparently, 'randomly generated' Okini says.

The clock strikes one, hickory dickory dock.

The wheel has just about stopped and lands on... the...

'YEEEESSS!!! Warriors!!! I am the lucki-...'

Ziade drops dead face first into the sand and stays there enjoying the comfort the sand gives him by suffocating him.

The wheel has landed on Miscellaneous.

After several minutes, Ziade stands back up but then ultimately sits down with a deadpan expression.

'Miscellaneous item you have received is- Strong Compass.

Information on item: Primarily used for Navigation.'

Ziade becomes disappointed because he knew he was going to get a shit item from the time the black arrow landed on the section Miscellaneous.

He at least knows how to use a compass and decides to try it out by taking it out from his inventory since all the items he gets from the Okini will be automatically transferred over to the inventory.

He then realised after many struggled attempts... that the sand he is surrounded by has tiny metal fragments everywhere in it, resulting in the compass being useless in this situation.

Ziade spins the wheel again, hoping for better luck... also noticing that all the sections have switched places, all the same percentages but different spots. Ziade comes to a conclusion that when spinning the Lottery Jackpot Wheel, all sections get switched around every spin.

Wheel stops.

Congratulations Ziade.

Skill you have received- Lightning Comprehension.

Information: With 'Lightning Comprehension', you are able to to learn and comprehend skills at lightning speed.

'...I've won... Okini shouldn't I already have this skill inside me since Elder Kumi unlocked my potential...?'

'No, you only had your thinking process enhanced allowing you to learn and comprehend information that comes in your mind, 'Lightning Comprehension,' skill allows you to master any skill or technique at lightning speed no matter what it is.' 'Exception: Ziade if the specified skill or technique leads to an ultimate death, I will restrict it from you to keep you safe.' Okini explains to Ziade with a peaceful voice.

'I'm the real MVP now' Ziade says with a victory smile planted on his face.

'Ok Okini I'm finished, can you continue on teaching me on the functions please?'

'Yes, the last three are Quests, Challenges and Status.' Alexis Okini says.

'Quests are... you already know what they are. Pretty much it's a permanent campaign mission you have to complete and most of the main quests have dire consequences if failed. Quests can pop up at any time like challenges. Quests can be denied but result in a 50% chance of either facing half the failure condition or the full brunt of it.' Okini explains in a understanding way.

'Challenges in a nut shell, are quests just with little rewards and a time limit, max time limit of a challenge is a month and the least is a day. Challenges pop up randomly depending on events that occur or are bound to occur.'

'The last one is just a spread sheet that you can refer back to check on your progression, think, 'Status' and you will see.' Okini explains.

Ziade tries it out, 'Status.'

Host: Ziade

Age: 2 years old

Sex: Male

Battle Capacity: -

Skills: Lightning Comprehension,

Pets: -

Warriors: -

Appies: -

Inventory(999/1000): Strong Compass,

'Ok that's good.' Ziade says with a straight face but a frown appears on his face because he's thinking on what to do after he gets out of the desert.

'Ziade since all functions and interfaces are explained I will now proceed to explain all power levels but first on what kind of world we you are in.' Okini voices in between his thinking.

'Sure, I need to know this, thanks.' Ziade replies in plain voice.

'Sorry Ziade but I have a better idea, with you advanced soul and unlocked potential and now with the new added skill you obtained through the Lottery Jackpot Wheel, 'Lightning Comprehension' I believe you should now be able to receive a download of information to your brain without falling unconscious for a period of time, do you accept Ziade?' Alexis Okini responds in a fun voice.

'... Great we can use time more efficiently and effectively, go ahead.' Ziade says with a smile now on his face because he just wants to leave this desert.'

'Commencing Download in 3 seconds... 3... 2... 1...'

Ziade instantly receives information in his brain regarding power levels and some information on them.

2 main sources of power are cultivated in this world, they are; Magic and Body Tempering.

Magic has 10 levels:

1)Beginner: 5 sub levels

2)Novice: 3 sub levels

3)Intermediate: 3 sub levels

4)Veteran: 3 sub levels

5)Expert: 2 sub levels

6)Dreaming Gloom: two sub levels

7)Master: 5 sub levels

8)Global Magician: 1 Major breakthrough

9)Makutu: 1 Major breakthrough

10)Magarusu: Find your own path

Sorcerers are from the 1st to 7th main levels.

Sorcerers are congealing the force they collect from the world to store in themselves and enlightening themselves to breakthrough all levels, also for perfect flow of magic through the body one must have a completely purified soul with no damage. There is not a need for a perfect soul but with one, one will have a faster cultivation of magic through the body resulting in faster cultivation of magic.

They may be sorcerers but they are just called magicians by most because they are learning magic.

Mages are from the 8th to 9th main levels.

Mages are learning, comprehending then storing the force they collect from the void.

Magarusu is a top notch mage but are never called a mage and definitely not sorcerers, it is disrespectful to call a Magarusu a Mage or sorcerer. People of this world call them Magicians or to be respectful and polite typically call them Magarusu.

They must find their own path either by cultivating their body more or either ascend the mythical void realm. Void realm is classified until you reach a certain level.

Magarusu's know the void and how to store it inside their body for their own power.

Magarusu's can travel a certain amount of space inside their own world depending on their enlightenment to the void and space.

Body Tempering has 10 levels.

1)Origin Skeleton: 5 sub levels

2)Origin Endocrine: 4 sub levels

3)Origin Combining: 3 sub levels

4)Tempering Ye: 3 sub levels

5)Corse of Ratiocination: 3 sub levels

6)King Soma: 2 sub levels

7)Origin Cell divider: 5 sub levels

8)World Body: 1 Major breakthrough

9)Dibodki: 2 sub levels

10)Oriri Sombine: Find their own path

Tempering stage is levels from 1st to 7th.

Tempering stage cultivators temper their bodies and mind to become one with their heart and soul.

Mitigate are people who are from levels 8 to 9.

Mitigate cultivators temper their bodies to the extreme by nearly dying each time, also learning how to congeal the energy they produce from themselves to perfection and also comprehending the void and storing it with their unique energies combined inside themselves.

Tagim, Tagim is the 10th level in body tempering and greatly feared and respected for their prowess. Tagims can dominate a Makutu but Magarusus and a Tagims are overlords and are to be respected, nobody would know the outcome between an Magarusu and a Tagim.

Tagims are learning to how to extend the void and their unique energy combined outwards from them self once completed they can survive with a drop of blood left remaining of themselves to revive.

They find their own path by either further cultivating their magic or ascending the mythical void realm. Void realm is classified.

Cultivation in weapons also has a level system.

E.g. for swords the level system is:

1)Sword Beginner

2)Sword Apprentice

3)Brand Intermediate

4)Conquering Blade

5)Sword Expert

6)Sword Dreaming

7)Sword Master

For levels in any weapon there are no sub levels in place, each level comes with enlightenment on the weapon and integrating it with oneself.

Ziade thinks for a bit before he voices out in the Afguma. '...quite a lot of information Okini, isn't most of this to be classified?' Ziade questions with a puzzled expression.

'No Ziade, this is basic information, there is a long road ahead, if you still desire it.' Okini says but secretly clarifying something.

'I do.' Ziade replies in a form voice.

Okini asks Ziade, 'Would you like to know the shops prices?'

'No but thank you Okini, can we talk about it when I have the appies because right now I have none?' Ziade says in a sincere voice

'Yes, we can'

Ziade jumps up trying to act cool but instead looks cute with his tiny 2 year old body. Ziade wonders how he is so strong when he's only two but he doesn't bother asking because he doesn't really care.

"Alriiight!!! Now that we're ready Okini! Let's head out, I'm counting on you." Ziade yells out in an energetic voice.

'Yes Ziade' Okini replies in a plain voice but hidden within lies excitement.

'1st step, leave this shitty desert, second step... obtain immense power!!'

It is now mid-day when Ziade takes his first true step to the top.

Ziade yells to Okini in an very enthusiastic manner, 'Haha, Okini! This is just the Beginning of our Journey across the World!'
