Zeke was overwhelmed by his new gains but he pressed Yes.

After a few seconds, to Zeke's surprise, a voice resounded in his head.

*Startup complete. Integrating System Data to Memory complete. Voice Recognition complete. Access to Pandora's knowledge complete. h.e.l.lo, Zeke.*

'What the f.u.c.k?'

Zeke was surprised about the voice since the voice mentioned his name. However, after thinking about it, he remembered it was the name he picked when the system first asked him back then. Zeke then tried to communicate with it.

'Uh, h.e.l.lo?'

*Hi, Zeke.*

'Oh, sweet. What can I call you?'

*My creator, Pandora, called me System. Pleased to meet you, Zeke.*

Zeke wondered how intelligent this AI is.

'Alright. What can you do then, System? and what exactly are you?'

*I serve as the guide for the chosen Champion of my creator, Pandora. As for my use and purpose, Mr. Pandora stated that I am here to answer the questions his chosen Champion poses. I am also here to ease up Mr. Pandora's champion regarding the use of the system.*

Zeke understood now. The voice's reply made Zeke think of his previous world. On Earth, there also exist some AI which understood human speech and acts on their own. Perhaps the one he's talking to right now is like one of them.

'To make my life easier, huh? Alright, can I ask a question, System?'

*Yes, Zeke.* The voice replied in a monotonous tone.

Zeke tried to sort out everything he knew and tried to ask the System about itself.

'Well, I noticed my Intelligence is 70 while the other stats are only 11. I know why it's 11 but I wonder why my Int is 70?'

*Int is currently 70 because of your mana core, your t.i.tles and previous knowledge from books you read. Having a perfect mana core raised it by 30 while the knowledge you gained from the books read amounted to 10, while the remaining 30 is from your t.i.tles, thus adding up to 70.*

'So raising my knowledge about this world also increases my mana too?'

*Yes, Zeke. Gaining and learning new information adds to my memory logs while also increasing your mana count. Another benefit is it can also help you learn skills with enough information. This is one of the features that only the champion of Mr. Pandora enjoys.*

'Can you tell me why that is?'

*I'm sorry, but I do not know the answer for that.*

'Alright. Can you tell me about my t.i.tles?'

*Yes, Zeke. The Otherworlder t.i.tle gives the holder an enormous mana pool larger than this world's inhabitants, and Enhanced Mana Regeneration.

Unrestrained gives the holder a literal unrestrained body. The racial characteristics, particularly the negatives, are null as well as bloodline characteristics. There are also no bottlenecks regarding advancing in masteries, skills, and mana core. The holder enjoys the advantages of their race and bloodline while ignoring the negatives. This t.i.tle is personally made by Mr. Pandora according to your 'wish' he says.

Pandora's Champion gives the holder access to the system as well as Extra Lives that are obtainable later on. The Champions of Deities don't easily die, and Mr. Pandora's champion is included in this. Currently, the number of total extra lives is 1.

Perfect Mana Core User gives the holder an automatic absorbing and refining of mana for the sake of advancing. It also gives the user full access to all the elements, as well as stronger attacks due to higher affection to affinities.

Undying gives the holder superhuman regenerative power when out of combat, as well as immunity to any kind of poison and illusions as well as mind controls. Crowd-control effects are only 50% effective if the enemy is on par to or lower your CP. This effect won't work on opponents that are too stronger than you.*

Hearing all these t.i.tles that have their own effects, Zeke was shocked. He noticed the pa.s.sives of all his t.i.tles, and even from one look, anyone could see that all these pa.s.sives are absurd.

'I understand. I underestimated that old man. I didn't expect him to give me such fraudulent abilities.'

*Yes, Zeke. Creating skills cost too much mana, and add to that the effects of the created skills, Mr. Pandora exerted almost 90% of his mana pool in order to create all these for you.*

The system seemed to misunderstand what Zeke thought. Zeke didn't want any of this, but the deity still gave him all this just because he wanted to live a 'fun' life. He shuddered after thinking about how much is 90% of a deity's mana.

'System, if you were to compare me with my peers, how would you rate me?'

*Just solely based on stats, you are in the pinnacle of your peers. Children at the same age range will only have less than 10 of all stats, yet you already have more than that along with a mana core that's only possible after a year of cultivating.*

'Really? Then it's all thanks to the system then. By the way, would it be appropriate to address you like you are the whole system?'

*Yes, Zeke. The whole system is managed by me. You could say I'm the talking mainframe of the system.*

'Alright, looks like we'll be together for a long time. Let's get well together then!'

*Yes, Zeke. I'm also happy with having a sensible user.*

The normally monotonous voice revealed a happy tone for a second.

'By the way, what's the skill tomes about?'

*Skill tomes are book consumables that allow the user to quickly learn the skill's basic elements and fundamentals. This can apply to any and all skills but not applicable to masteries.*

'Masteries? What's that?'

*Masteries are levels that determine how skilled you are in a certain aspect. At your current form, I'm afraid this is still far for you. Although you have a quest related to that, I highly suggest you not start it at your current age as it will only burden you further.*

'Alright then. I guess I should take one step at a time. Do you think using a skill tome right now is good?'

*Yes, Zeke. Skill tomes add are good for you since it'll help you get a skill early and skip the hard training for it. It doesn't excuse you in learning the fundamentals though.*
