(A/N: I just realized that my system isn't fully as complete as the prototype from the fanfic "I Am the System!" by Yuuya3. Well, it's been quite a while since I last read that fanfic, so my memory's a bit foggy.
So if you see some extra features appearing in my system that weren't there in previous chapters, don't be surprised. I'm trying to align it as closely as possible with the original system—though there will definitely be some differences since I want to add my own little twists.)
After thoroughly enjoying his moment of overwhelming joy, Ren finally stopped laughing and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
"Huff… Alright, calm down. Now, what should I do next in this situation?" he muttered while thoughtfully rubbing his chin.
Let's see… since I know I've been transported into Frieren's world, where monsters and demons constantly threaten humanity, I need to strengthen myself to survive and fight them.
Honestly, Ren never expected to be transported into Frieren's world. He always assumed that, unlike the protagonists in fanfics who get isekai'd into their favorite fictional worlds, he would most likely end up in some random, completely unfamiliar world instead. Statistically, that seemed far more likely. But now that it had actually happened, he was thrilled.
If given a choice between being sent to a world he knows or one he doesn't, he would, without hesitation, always pick the former. That's only natural; humans tend to fear the unknown.
"Alright, time to strengthen myself! First order of business: find an immortal, unkillable body—just in case of worst-case scenarios and for extra safety!" Without wasting time, Ren opened up the [Mall] and selected the blood drop icon representing Bloodlines.
Instantly, a panel appeared before him, displaying countless options—many familiar, some entirely new to him.
"Oh my God! They've got Saiyan bloodlines here! Even Legendary Saiyan! Wait, there's also Viltrumite! Kryptonian! Uchiha! Ōtsutsuki! Fuck!!! This Mall is freaking awesome!!! Hahahaha!!!"
Seeing all these powerful and OP bloodlines available for free made Ren burst out in laughter again. He couldn't hold it back. He knew that everything he saw here was his for the taking at zero cost.
Looks like all my life's luck was used up just to obtain this cheat! But I don't regret it one bit! This cheat is worth far more than a lifetime of good luck!
That's how Ren felt as he realized just how absurdly fortunate he was to have acquired such a system.
After browsing through the Mall for a while, however, Ren hesitated and decided to postpone choosing a bloodline.
It could be dangerous. Fusing a foreign bloodline into my body might trigger a violent rejection that could very well kill me.
That was his concern. Even though the likelihood of that happening was extremely low—especially given how powerful and perfect his system was—he wasn't willing to take that risk, not yet.
So, he decided to take a safer approach to strengthening himself:
"Alright, let's use the [Task & Reward] feature instead!" he said, exiting the Mall and opening the [Task & Reward] option.
Immediately, a new interface appeared in front of him, showing that there were no available tasks at the moment.
"Well, that's only natural since I haven't created any tasks for myself yet. Time to make my own task!" Ren said, quickly clicking the (Edit) button under [Task & Reward].
[Task Name =
Description =
Reward =
YES / NO]
"Task name, description, and reward… I need to fill all three fields to create my custom task. Let's see… what would be the best task to start with…"
After thinking for a moment, Ren's face lit up. "I know!" Without wasting time, he began entering the information.
[Task Name = Getting Stronger
Description = How could a transmigrator like you remain just an ordinary human? Set your goal and determination to become strong and grow into someone truly powerful!
Reward =
1. Full adaptive ability of SCP-682 from the SCP universe
2. Existential limits lifted
3. Supreme Mage Talent
4. Full pain resistance
5. Perfect integration of body with rewards, bloodlines, and all items
YES/NO
]
Without any hesitation, Ren immediately clicked "YES!!!", and the task was instantly created. But not even a second after its creation, a notification popped up in front of him.
[Ding! Task: Getting Stronger has been completed!]
[All physical rewards have been directly integrated into the body. Item rewards have been stored in inventory.]
As a result, incredible changes began happening to Ren as all the rewards integrated into his body at once.
First, his body continuously strengthened, healing all hidden wounds and erasing any traces of illness instantly. An overwhelming sense of liberation filled him, as if the invisible chains of existence were being broken from his very being.
Next, a wonderful sensation filled his soul as profound understanding of magic suddenly flooded his mind, granting him the knowledge to easily create, manipulate, and counter magic.
His body also started adapting to the surrounding environment, evolving to perfectly fit it. Alongside this, he felt a mysterious energy being drawn into his body, circulating within him. Most likely, this was Mana or Magical Energy — the source of all magic in Frieren's world.
The transformation continued for about five minutes until it finally completed. Ren, now fully stabilized, opened his eyes and exhaled deeply, releasing the remaining impurities from his body.
"This is incredible! I feel like I could easily destroy an entire city with just a single punch!" he muttered in fascination, tightening his fist as he felt the immense power and energy surging within him.
"But as expected, this system is ridiculously overpowered… Even a task that sounds like a joke can grant absurd, unmatched rewards…" Ren sighed in amazement. If any other transmigrator knew about his case, they'd probably cry blood out of sheer envy at the system and cheat he possessed.
