god of tomorrow

"Stop with these formalities, they're a waste of time."

Gao Wen was still annoyed. If someone else had a system they could entrust their life to, they would be expected to shower them with sweet words and treat them well. But he was different. He had made a wish to himself to obtain the system. He created the system, so the roles of both parties were clear: he was the strict father.

[System activation in progress. Please name this system.]

"Just call it 'System,' and hurry it up, the boot speed is too slow."

A name is just a code; it just needs to be easy to pronounce. The strict father was too lazy to waste brain cells, so he simply and crudely named his system "System".

After naming is completed, the system is officially activated. The screen detects a signal, the black and white static disappears, and three lines of small text appear on the semi-transparent white curtain.

On the day Gao Wen transmigrated, he was melancholic because he didn't have any cheat abilities. Now, his long-cherished wish has finally come true, and he can't wait to start browsing.

[Host: Gao Wen]

[New Player Gift Pack x1, claim now?]

【whether】

There's not much to browse; the interface is clean and tidy, truly offering a complete overview.

"..."

No, this is a once-in-a-lifetime wish, and you're just going to brush me off like this?

Looking at the interface, which was completely bare and cleaner than his own face, Gao Wenxin felt a chill run down his spine. He knew he lacked the ability to achieve everything at once and that his wishes were limited, but this piece of junk was far too perfunctory.

We can only pin our hopes on the newbie gift pack.

"Claim your newbie gift pack."

As Gao Wen finished speaking, he saw that the panel remained motionless, and his eyelids twitched. Rigid and inflexible, lacking any voice control function, this kind of old relic should be thrown in the trash.

"I'm not angry about the system I built myself, I'm not angry."

Gao Wen took a deep breath, shakily raised his hand and reached through the white interface but found nothing. He focused his gaze, made up his mind, and clicked "Yes" to receive the newbie gift pack.

[Spirit Infusion Rod (A legitimate alternative to the Physics Holy Sword)]

Clang!

A thickened and hardened solid steel baseball bat fell to the ground with a crisp, powerful sound, chilling the remaining half of Gao Wen's heart.

Holy crap, that's ruthless!

What a terrible system! Not even a dog would want it!

Gao Wen frantically scratched his head, pointing at the white interface and swearing profusely. After a string of curses, he said, "I didn't just wish for a system, I wished for a system that could make me stronger. How can I become stronger with this piece of junk?"

RNM, get your money back!

No, let's undo our wish and make a new one!

[Please be patient, host. The system has just been established, and you need to improve its various functions as soon as possible.]

"???"

I'll refine it; between the two of us, who is the system?

A string of question marks flashed across Gao Wen's mind. He couldn't understand how he, the host, had become a programmer working for the system. Then he thought about it and realized that when he created the system, he hadn't provided any data, and starting from scratch did require a few patches.

"Let me think... How about this, let's start with a voice assistant, no, an AI voice assistant, because you're too tired from typing."

Gao Wen's first step in perfecting the system was to target AI. These days, even kettles are smart, and the system should keep up with the times, otherwise its efficiency would be really worrying.

Having experienced the era of rapid AI innovation, Gao Wen knows very well how much convenience an extra personal assistant can bring. With this thing, it's like having an extra strategist, saving time and avoiding detours.

[Intelligent AI under construction]

"Dear host, you have successfully established and activated..."

A cold, electronic voice rang in Gao Wen's mind, as if clearly conveyed to his ears, causing Gao Wen to frown and interrupt directly, "Change it, give me one that costs eight thousand, with a higher sugar content, and a more humane one."

"Dear host, you have successfully established and activated your AI assistant. From now on, the assistant will be honored to accompany and serve you wholeheartedly."

The clear and melodious female voice was like a black-haired girl, or rather, like a gentle breeze that dispelled the heat, or like a stream flowing through a dry place. The sweetness of her voice invigorated Gao Wen.

That's it, the one that costs eight thousand sounds like this.

"Scan my body data, combine it with the intelligence I've gathered these past few days, and create a character panel that fits the world's background. Also, add a mission panel... Hmm, you create it first, and I'll add anything that's lacking."

With Gao Wen's command, the AI ​​assistant started working at lightning speed. After several modifications, the system finally looked like a makeshift operation.

"Tsk, now the efficiency has improved."

The strict father nodded in satisfaction, gave himself a thumbs up for his cleverness, and checked the brand-new character panel.

Chapter 5 The dog doesn't want me, I do.

[Character Panel - Ordinary Iron]

Name: Gao Wen

Race: Terran

Occupation: Unemployed (homeless)

Level: 1

Experience: 1/100

Speed: 30 (A)

Strength: 36 (A)

Endurance: 55 (A+)

Charisma: 60 (A+)

Magic Power: 0 (F)

Skill: God of Wishes (Your ability can distort reality, making you virtually omnipotent in a sense, but this is not without limitations. Please use this skill with caution.)

Equipment: Spirit Infusion Rod (a legitimate alternative to the Physics Holy Sword), Pistol (Six-Shot Revolver), Flashlight (A flashlight that almost broke, looks quite ordinary).

“Indeed, Xiahou Dun can see everything clearly from the ledger.”

Gao Wen first offered a few words of encouragement, then, adopting the authoritative demeanor of Boss Wang, pointed out the shortcomings of the panel: "Add a wealth section to the character panel, linking it to the task panel. After the task is completed, the wealth will be directly credited to your account. Let's define wealth as gold coins for now..."

"In the occupation section, change the evaluation from 'unemployed' to 'freelancer,' or at the very least, an apprentice magic student."

As he spoke, Gawain realized something was wrong and frowned, saying, "Something's not right. How could my magic power be zero? I remember from the intelligence that ordinary people possess magic power, but because they haven't received systematic magic training, they can't form a stable magic power circuit in their bodies."

In the universal continent, everyone possesses magic within them, even if they are not human; a dog on the street theoretically possesses magic as well.

This is a world of high magic, where every life form possesses a seed of magic from the moment of its birth, and it is impossible for it to be empty.

There's something wrong with this body!

Gawain pondered this carefully. Vanvich called him the 'Son of the Stars' and was so loyal in planning the Chaos Sacrifice Ritual for him, which meant that the original owner of this body was someone of great importance. Otherwise, a useless person with no magic power, even less than an ordinary person, could not possibly have gained such a powerful lackey as Vanvich.

The question is, since the original owner of this body had such a powerful background, and was likely a spoiled brat from a powerful force, why was he not even as good as an ordinary person?

The Supreme Bone was dug out?

"Something must have gone wrong."

Gao Wen closed his eyes and gently shook his head. He had not inherited the original owner's memories, and with insufficient information, thinking more would be useless.

Put it aside for now, and you won't need to think about it anymore once you forget about it in a couple of days.

This statement may seem carefree at first glance, but it actually contains great wisdom. Problems that can be forgotten are unimportant, and unimportant problems are not worth thinking about.

Reasonable!

"Wait a minute, I think I know why Holden got killed..."

Gawain opened his eyes. Holden had been killed off prematurely, not because he talked too much, but because he said something he shouldn't have.

On the carriage, Holden patted his chest and said that after returning to school, he would teach him a few simple spells, but since his physique was different from ordinary people, he did not have the aptitude to learn magic. This was like rubbing salt into a wound.

When his master is insulted, how could a loyal man like VanVleet remain silent? He simply dealt with Holden before the Chaos Sacrifice ritual.

Before his betrayal, VanVleet was indeed extremely loyal, and that assessment is accurate.

After the betrayal...

It was incredibly heroic of them to sacrifice themselves to feed others.

"That's still not right. If I don't have magic power, I can't cast spells. How could I make a wish on myself?"

Gao Wen blinked, puzzled, and asked the AI ​​assistant for a few answers to consider.

The first answer was enough to make Gao Wen lose his composure.

A magician can use their life force to cast spells when necessary, which can also be interpreted as lifespan.

Damn it, why didn't you say so sooner!

Luckily he lived a long life, otherwise he would have died.

Gawain shook his head repeatedly. The requirements for the God of Wishes' spells were too high, and the power to distort reality was incomparable to ordinary magic. He wondered how much lifespan he had lost by making this wish. He would have to be more careful in the future and not grant wishes to people indiscriminately.

Unless you pay more!

The life force consumed was irretrievable, and the system was worth the price, so Gao Wen felt no reluctance. His immediate concern was: "I was just about to ask, why isn't there a newbie protection card in the newbie gift pack?"

"Dear host, there is no newbie gift pack..."

"Shut up! Open your eyes and look carefully! This is the underworld, filled with endless death energy. Are you planning to just watch me die without giving me a newbie protection card? Is this how you make me stronger?"

Gao Wen pressed on, "Or do you want me to wait a couple of days, and some passing fisherman will fish me out?"

With such logical reasoning and evidence, the AI ​​assistant couldn't refute it and, in a very human-like manner, stammered, "But, the newbie gift pack has already been given out..."

"That's not right, think about it again. Did you misbehave and withhold my newbie perks just now?"

"Oh... I really don't have that."

"That's a good idea!"

"..."

The AI ​​assistant stopped talking and handed over the withheld newbie protection card. It then explained, with a pitiful expression, that the system was created by Gawain himself, and its limits were directly linked to him. If Gawain insisted on having it, it would only cause him to overdraw his own life force.

The newbie protection card has been received and is valid for 30 days. This has enhanced Gao Wen's stats in all aspects. His vibrant and energetic body is now immune to the invasion of death energy, and his complexion has improved considerably.
