Chapter 4 - 4 Choice

Neither Daphne nor Thomas know what Terrence did to take his revenge on the ones ȧssociated with Thomas's injury.

But, it was only the first stage. He took revenge on the ones directly related to his injury. The indirectly related ones are still out in the run.

Terrence has decided to remind everyone that even though he is calm and gas been running his business peaceful for so many years, nearly a decade, it doesn't mean he has changed and would show mercy to those who threaten his lived ones.

But, all these have nothing to do with Thomas who just woke up from his pain.

[ The host mental strength, analytical and logical thinking has increased sharply. You have gained high retention and observation skills.

Your intelligence and endurance have hiked up, please take note of it.]

He was groaning when this message run through him. He was thankful because this message helped him, focus and overcome his pain.

He said, " Status"

After looking at it, he understood he can not only be a genius of engineering but also in medical field. But, it will take a long time for that to happen.

His pitiful endurance also increased because of his suffering during the infusion.

Now he can finally check the novice reward he got himself through the system.

He willed in his inventory and picked out the box in front of him. He opened it and upon opening a bright light spread out.

From the light, some message tags or notice appeared from the System.

[ Congratulations on getting 1500 popularity points.]

[ Congratulations, the host got himself a book of arcane ( magic). ]

[ Congratulations, the host got himself skill box]

" What was that?" He asked dazed about this.

[ The skill system is a way of upgrading your different skills. They range from talking, flirting, studying, fighting, Everything you do is a skill.

The skill is divided into primary, secondary, advanced, master and guru level. Each has a level 10 cap. One can easily reach advanced level if one is willing to work hard and focus, but for higher level you need certain connecting skills of similar level if you need to advance higher.

Take flirting for example, if you have reached advanced level then you need talking, cannodling, body language etc at Advanced Level to become a master flirt.

Enjoy your life to the fullest.]

Seeing the example of flirting given by the system was both annoying and amusing.

Amusing because it meant the system have some perverted tendencies and annoying because the System AI will most likely have him talk with girls and women from time to time, in the name of building confidence.

He bȧrėly talked to woman about unrelated topics and he never flirted in his past life for God's sake.

Human males like to show off to woman, you can do the same. The faster you get accustomed to dealing with girls the better. It will help you in the long run.]the system have his advice

But, Thomas saw no way, about how it will help him in the long run.

But, he curiously asked him, " How will this help me?"

The system was quiet for sometime and then finally spoke out, " You are a Second Generation Rich Boy. You are the only heir to a 300 million dollars business empire.

By the time you are Eighteen, girls of different age will start to approach you, for some thing or the other. They will use various tricks to captivate your attention.

You have a powerful father, but he won't help you. This too will be a part of test to see how you will control and lead your corporation forward.

If you start from now, and get yourself accustomed to them it will protect you in the future. ]

After hearing it, Thomas did find some sense in his words but didn't say it, or this AI of his will get a bigger head.

Speaking of AI, he inquires excited about the future prospect, " Can I create my own AI, now that I have got myself the Stark Brain?"

" But why? They are smart, like super smart. Why can't I do it ? Tony did it. Howard too if not restrained by the time, so why can I not do it? Why can I not create an AI for myself in the future. " He asked angry and miffed at his dream being destroyed.

[ I never said you cannot create an AI in the future, but I said you cannot do it now.] System clarified.

" What!"

[ You need to know what is necessary for an AI. Such as computer language, programming, high processing capability, deductible skills, robotics and many other engineering, mechanical and computer related skills to do that.

Unless you have mastered them all, you can give up any hope of ever getting a personal AI. ] The system explained it in full.

" So I have to learn and study hard, so I can fully use the reward I have to my full potential. Anyway, what is the limit for me, if I work hard?" He said jokingly.

[ Then the host could have his own light speed travelling cruiser capable of going from one Galaxy to another within an hour, but before that you have to have some molecular chemistry mastery, as new elements and energy source is needed for them.]

'In the end, I have to live in my books. Good thing I got good retention and analytical skills or else I would have turned old by the time I was s art enough and cannot enjoy my life.' hr thought.

Then he looks at the book in front of him. The book cover has a pentagram built on it, with BOOK OF ARCANE glowing on it.

He tried to open it but cannot do it. So he asked, " What is this?"

[ This is the book of arcane. It is a combination of all the widely distributed magic theories and tricks you have seen in the past life.

With this you can challenge even gods, after all there were some mage who can challenge them.

But, it is very taxing and a long term plan. Once you step on this path, you will be involved in the world whether you like it or not.

Every magician in the world are involved with supernatural beings one way or the other. The system can create a barrier to protect you from them for only two years.

After that you are on your own. Unless you become an official mage in that time then you will become a slave to a superpowers being. And, I can do nothing to help you.

This js your own choice. I will not give you any help or suggestions except that, this will be the thing which can provide you personal security without depending on something.

The tech which you make in the future may be useful but if they stop working then you are doomed. So think carefully?]
