Chapter 3 - PROCESS COMPLETE

Sam closed all the open tabs on his laptop, the screen finally clearing into a blank slate. He opened the Google search bar.

He typed quickly: supernatural system power list.

Within seconds, results flooded the screen. Without much thought, he clicked on the first link.

A long list appeared—titles stacked one after another, each promising worlds of power, mystery, and hidden systems. Sam leaned back slightly, eyes scanning the screen as he began reading them one by one.

"Hell yeah, 20 more to go!"

Suddenly, tiny sparks of light danced across the blue screen.

A new window popped up.

[ REPAIRING THE SYSTEM ]

[ INFORMATION RECEIVED ]

[ ACCESSING ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ]

The crack in the screen had disappeared—as if it had never been there.

[ ADDING EXTRA PROTECTION LAYERS ]

Then the same message began to flood the screen—one window after another—until ten of them hovered before him.

[ ADDING EXTRA PROTECTION LAYERS ] ×10

Sam noticed a cross icon in the top-right corner. He raised his hand to press it, and this time he was actually able to touch the screen and close all the windows.

Only one screen remained—the one displaying Processing. It had no cross icon.

[ PROCESSING 80%... ]

The cracks had vanished, and the screen looked sturdier than before. Along its edges, a flowing river design shimmered faintly.

DING!

[ PROCESSING 88%... ]

[ PROCESSING 96%... ]

[ PROCESSING 100%... ]

[ PROCESS COMPLETE. WOULD YOU LIKE TO ACTIVATE?

Y / N ]

Without hesitation, Sam clicked "Yes," a surge of excitement rushing through him.

[ FRIENDLY WARNING: ONCE IT ACTIVATES, THERE IS NO GOING BACK. ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO PROCEED?

Y / N ]

"Friendly warning?…" Sam pressed yes.

[ INITIALIZATION SUCCESSFUL ]

[ WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD ]

Then details were displayed on the screen.

[ Class: None ]

[ Status: Rookie ]

[ Title: None ]

[ Level: 0 ]

[ Strength: 1 ]

[ Agility: 1 ]

[ Stamina: 1 ]

[ Force: 0 ]

[ Health: 99 ]

A new notification popped up. Sam tapped it open.

[ Prepare for orientation at 10:00 AM ]

"Orientation?" Sam frowned, confusion flickering across his face.

He was still trying to make sense of it when another message popped up.

DING!

[ RECEIVED GIFT. CHECK INVENTORY ]

"Gift…?"

Sam searched for an inventory, but nothing appeared.

He paused for a moment, thinking. Then he said,

"Open Inventory."

Another translucent window flickered into existence before his eyes. It was filled with neatly arranged slots—dozens of them—but all were empty.

All except one.

In the very first slot rested the image of a black-and-red jacket, paired with a set of boots.

Sam tapped the slot.

In an instant, the items materialized in front of him.

The jacket dropped into his hands, its fabric smooth and surprisingly light.

Sam picked it up, turning it over as a grin spread across his face.

"Damn… this is a cool jacket."

DING!

[ Item: Reinforced Standard Jacket ]

[ Description: A jacket crafted from an unknown, specialized material. Though it appears ordinary, wearing it generates a thin protective shield around the wearer. ]

"So… it's not just a normal jacket."

Sam smirked, running his hand over the fabric.

"That's actually pretty awesome."

Then Sam glanced at the boots, curiosity flickering in his eyes.

[ Item: Standard Set Boots ]

[ Description: A pair of boots included in a standard jacket set. Grants increased stamina and agility. When worn with the matching jacket, overall power increases by 10%. ]

"Ten percent power boost… nice."

Sam examined the jacket and boots carefully before putting them on.

The moment he wore them, a strange sensation washed over him—subtle, but unmistakable.

It felt… different. Lighter. Stronger, somehow.

He flexed his fingers and shifted his weight, trying to understand the change, but couldn't quite put it into words.

After a while, he returned to his laptop, scrolling absentmindedly as thoughts swirled in his head.

Eventually, exhaustion caught up to him.

Sam shut the laptop, lay back on the bed, and let his eyes close.

Within minutes, he drifted into sleep.

DING!

[ NOTIFICATION ]

[ All system data has been consolidated. ]

[ Unique System activation initiated. ]

[ Synchronization in progress ]
