The Legacy System

Eric:" I can hear Miss, don't worry I will come out in a while and pay for everything before leaving. Now with your permission, I would like to start getting ready."

Saying that, he immediately closed the phone, but he was stunned looking at his hand. It was so skinny, and so black, with white jade color dots in it. ​​

He could assume that the black color was due to that black liquid full of impurities that came out of his body, but those white dots made no sense.

Surprised by this, he got up and made for the mirror, but his all body was like that, black with white parts all over it.

What was this? What had happened?

With the thought of trying to understand what was happening, Eric entered the shower and released the water all over his body.

Slowly that black color and black stuff all over his body started to go away, but he was totally shocked by what he was looking at right now.

His body was so skinny, it was like he didn't have any flesh all over his body, like all he had was his bones, and the skin covering them.

He could totally see and understand the shape of every bone on his body.

But that wasn't all, his skin was so pale, or it would be more accurate to say, his skin was so white. It was like the color of white jade.

He didn't know what to think anymore, what had happened to his body. How was it possible that he had turned into this white skeleton zombie?

But there was only one thing, which could possibly give him some answers. It was his system, that was his only hope at understanding what had happened.

Without caring about the smell, and the mess around him, Eric quickly dried his body with a towel nearby and getting out he jumped over the bed.

The next moment, he concentrated his consciousness on his system interface and was hit by a huge number of notifications.

He was dumbfounded by all these notifications, there were too many. It took a while for him to recollect himself and try to read and make sense of the notifications.

! Congratulations to the Host for having successfully used Low Body Tempering Potion.

! Congratulations to the Host for having successfully used Low Body Tempering Potion.

! Warning, Host's body has been overstrained.

! Congratulations to the Host for having successfully used 5 Low Body Tempering Potions.

! Warning, Host's body has been overstrained. The host's health will start deteriorating.

! Alert, Host is in danger of death!

! Alert, Host is in danger of death!

! Alert, System will override its commands and use Low Health Potions on Hosts Body.

! Congratulations to the Host for having successfully used 8 Low Health Potions.

! Congratulations to Host for having successfully used 5 Low Spirit Power Potions.

! Alert, Host body has normalized.

! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the 'Pure Jade Body' ability! Upgradable Passive Rarity A

'Pure Jade Body' is a passive body defense ability that absorbs 30% of any attack on the Host in the first level. This ability can be upgraded up to 70% of the attack.

It's an ability gained only through cleaning the body from any impurities. Only a pure and impure less body is a healthy and strong body.

Seeing all these notifications Eric was stunned for some time, it was a good thing that the system had overridden and used the Low Health Potions on him, otherwise, he was a goner.

This actually also brought to him the suspicions that his system had much more power, and intelligence than it let known. But that was something he needed to discover in the future.

Right now he continued to look at the notifications, and one of them, in particular, made him almost faint right there and then.

! Warning, Host hasn't done his training in two days! If the Host doesn't continue training in another two days, then the system will disconnect from the Host's body.

This damn thing, how was he supposed to do his training if he had been unconscious for three days straight.

All his thoughts about his system being more than what he thought seemed to disappear right there and then.

Anyway now was not the time to deal with that, he needed to have a look at his stats. He was so enthusiastic to look at those.

He had gone through hell, so if he hadn't gotten good stats, then it was really a boomer. Opening the stats window with his conscience though he was stunned, and satisfied by what he saw,

Name: Eric Jade

Race: High human (blocked-5%)

Level: 1

Exp: 3/4

Strength: 6.25

Dexterity: 5.35

Vitality: 9

Agility: 7.4

Spirit Power: 5*

Intelligence: 32

Luck: 95

Skills: 'Eye of Clairvoyance', 'Pure Jade Body', 'Inventory Box'

Equipment: 'Silent Reaper'

Cultivation Techniques: 'Chaos Creation Technique'

*Notification: If the Host reaches the Spirit Power index at 7 he can look at the system interface without needing to enter his sea of conscience.

Looking at all this Eric didn't know what to think for some time. While his level was still 1, the stats he had were around 6 times that of a normal person.

Just this huge boost, was enough to pay for all the pain he had gone through the previous night. Also since these were unrelated to his level, that meant he could cross levels to fight his enemies.

This was something really rare, or even unheard of in his previous life.

Nobody had such a perk, and that was also the reason people hid their level, so they could surprise their victims.

Eric had fought with millions of people in his previous life, but he had never seen such a thing.

He had always been able to win because he was a higher level or using some powering up ability or weapon.

But this, this was clearly something really overpowered. This would give him the edge on everyone on his level, and probably 2 or 3 levels above him.

Also, just his vitality had gone up to 9 times better than that of a normal person. This was something he never imagined to have.

Not only did he have 9 times the life span of a normal person, but also 9 times the regenerative effects, 9 times immunity protection, and a lot of other things.

He was taken by surprise at the new addition index on his stats, but then he was happily reading the explanation.

Having to enter the system interface in his sea of conscience was such a pain. He had to find someplace where he was alone, and make sure nobody would disturb him.

So if he could use his system all the time without needing to do all that, would be a great advance for him, and his prowess.

This meant that his first goal at the moment would be to push his Spirit Power beyond the index given in the notification.

Placing this as his first, short-term priority, Tianlong Yun took a look at his last two stats, intelligence, and luck.

He was dumbfounded seeing his intelligence index fall from 75 that it was originally, to 32.

The heck!?

Was he such a stupid person? What was wrong with his system?

But then, remembering how he ended in his situation, and also the stupidity that almost killed him, it didn't seem like a wonder anymore.

He was an idiot apparently. There wasn't much he could say about that. He couldn't find words to protect himself.

As for the luck stat, well just being able to survive all that, was already an indication that he was extremely lucky.

Not to mention his new stats and that ability, it just made him feel like he had been given a nice long kiss by lady luck.

As for the others, with the addition of the new skill, nothing had changed, so this closed his look over the stats window.

Getting out of the system interface, and his sea of conscience, Eric had a stupid smile on his face. Life was so beautiful to him at the moment.

He felt so good right now. It was precisely that feeling that made him so inspired to do his daily training right now.

But, just as he was about to jump from his bed, and start with his push-ups, a loud growling noise came from his stomach.

This caught him totally unprepared, due to all the enthusiasm and excitement he was living through, he had totally forgotten that it had been three days since he last ate something.

Not to mention that now he was so skinny, and there seemed like there was no meat at all in his body.

While he was thinking like this, his stomach made another loud growling noise. It looked like his stomach was protesting against his treatment.

Thinking like this, Eric placed one of his hands over his stomach, and said,

Eric:" Ok ok, I get it. I will go to eat as soon as I clean this place a bit. But I wonder how will I be able to fulfill you. I am so hungry I could eat a dragon right now.

Saying this to himself he immediately started cleaning the room a bit, and then the bath and the shower. Mostly just flushing down all that black matter in the bath.

And pretty soon he was ready to get out of the place.

When he got down to pay the bill, the receptionist was startled seeing him like that. It was like he was a different boy from the one that got the room from her.

But she had seen so many weird things happen in there, and she knew she shouldn't step her boundaries, so just taking the payment, she just gave him one last look and forgot about it.

Eric on the other hand was happy that he didn't have to mix a story to get out of this, and just walked out of the place happily.

His first priority was food, and he had only 30$ left, from the payment he got from his job. If he went to a restaurant then he probably wouldn't be able to eat much.

Thinking like this he got out of the Red district and went to a grocery store, buying around 10 bread, cheese, and tomatoes for 26$.

After that, he found an empty park to sit on, and started eating like he had been starving for years…
