Chapter 5: System Features

[ 3…2….1…. Integration Complete, Strongest System is now online ]

Rocky stared at the blue screen in front of his eyes in shock.

If not for the screen, Rocky would have genuinely doubted if his conversation with Shakuni was even real? However, the system screen in front of him was the irrefutable proof that it indeed happened.

Rocky read the system features with great attention as he proceeded to click on the (here) option under the list to get an even more in-depth explanation of the system features.

More or less, the system in its current state had six main features with the highlight being the daily missions and rewards that the system would give out to shape Rocky’s foundation.

It was a lot for Rocky to take in at once, he had lost his sister, met a mythical god, awakened as a climber and received a system in less than 24 hours as his life had quite literally been turned upside down in an instant.

He would be lying if he did not feel great about having awakened as a climber, as ever since he was a kid that was the only thing that he could ever dream of.

The only reason why he was not at home and was at his friend’s place for new years was because, coincidentally new years was also the same day as he turned 18 and since most climbers were chosen the same day that they turned of age, Rocky was incredibly nervous of whether he would be chosen or not.

Since he did not wish to run around the house with nerves, showing a vulnerable and nervous side of himself to Riva, he decided to crash at his friend’s where he could be anxious at ease.

Little did he know that in his absence their house would come under attack by unknown assailants and his sister would be kidnapped.

It was unfortunate, but like Shakuni said, he no longer had a choice in this mess.

Riva had chosen Rocky to inherit the system that she could not and now it was his best shot to save his sister from whatever mess she was entangled in.

“This is so fucked up-” Rocky said as he placed his head in his palms, with his voice prompting Amelia who was sitting just outside the medical ward, to come in and check on Rocky.

” Look who woke up! Good Morning-” she said in the most formal sounding voice ever as Rocky looked at Amelia in a daze.

Judging by the position of the sun outside, it seemed to be early morning which meant that Rocky had been out for several hours at least.

A quick glance at the wall clock suggested that it was 7 in the morning, yet even at such an early hour, Amelia was dressed immaculately in a medium length formal office skirt and a wrinkle free shirt and matching blazer.

She had light make-up applied on her face and her hair perfectly done as Rocky could not find a single flaw with how she looked.

“Ugh, teens” Amelia said in disgust as she complained and rolled her eyes but soon smiled.

It took a lot of discipline and dedication to always look so tardy and she appreciated that people apparently did take the time to notice her efforts.

“Sorry, I’ve just never seen someone dressed so immaculately before who still manages to look so stunning” Rocky said honestly as the light blush on Amelia’s face deepened a little.

“My my, Riva’s younger brother has a glib tongue.

Became a charmer after awakening?” Amelia asked as Rocky was about to say something but Amelia cut him off saying “Zip it playboy, I’m out of your league”.

Rocky opened and closed his mouth a few times, contemplating whether or not to say something but chose to remain silent in the end.

“If you’re feeling okay-, follow me, the guildmaster wants to see you.

Thankfully you have woken up at great time, he should be coming in for work any minute now and with his first meeting of the day scheduled for 7:15, I can squeeze you in without disturbing his schedule” Amelia said as Rocky silently followed Amelia through the massive True Elites headquarters.

Although it was just 7:05, the True Elites headquarters was bustling with activity at such an early hour, as Rocky passed by many famous climbers in the guild halls, apparently returning from breakfast, training or a meeting.

‘Oh my god that’s Scott the wall breaker’

‘Oh my god that’s Scarlet the pyromancer’

‘Holy crap that’s Voodoo Vaugn, crap I just made eye contact with him’

Rocky gawked and observed every single adventurer walking through the guild halls as he felt absolutely star struck to see them in the flesh.

Growing up, he had only seen them on television as they live casted their legendary raids and difficult floor master fights, however, observing them for real felt surreal.

However, what was more important than watching them was observing the behavior of all the adventurers when Amelia passed by, as even the bulkiest and strongest adventurers moved out of her way and greeted her good morning when she passed by.

Despite being a non-climber and clearly a weak mortal, Amelia was the big bully within the True Elites guild and Rocky was awestruck to observe her in her natural element.

“Has Karna shown up for work yet?” Amelia asked the clerk at reception who affirmed that he had just walked in a minute ago, as Amelia led Rocky straight to his cabin where she barged in unannounced.

“The kid woke up” she said, before leaving Karna’s office as the poor guildmaster who had just entered his office and was yet to even take his seat felt slightly awkward to have a visitor before he had even settled in.

” Right…. You could have told that to me alongside a good morning sir? Couldn’t you?” Karna complained as Amelia reopened the guildmaster’s cabin, poked her head in, glared at the strongest adventurer on Earth and said ” WORK STARTS 7:00 SHARP.

CHECK YOUR CLOCK” before slamming the door shut once more.

Rocky had shivers all over his body, as this was the exact tone that Riva and his mother used when they were pissed and apparently Karna had some too as he seemed genuinely scared for his life in front of a harmless secretary.

” Women…” he muttered under his breath softly as although he retaliated, he did so in a way that his voice did not carry outside the office and fall into the sensitive ears of his secretary outside.
