System isn't something I expected to be happening in this world of Skyrim. I thought the only thing I get was some incredible stats but having a system itself isn't that bad. I could keep track of my progress as I grow stronger.
"So this system, was it easy to understand?" I ask that question as even if it's a system. Because I might have no idea how to use it.
"My blessings is part of you, you will understand it without needing to learn a single thing. It will come as natural as it is."
"Alright, last question. I have inventory right? Cause there's no way I am going to carry this beacon with my hands the entire time while heading to your temple."
"Yes, and enough of the question. Your sole mission is to destroy the darkness and it will be your only concern for now."
That was the last thing Meridia said as I felt the connection was cut off all of a sudden.
But before proceeding on with my quest that has been given by Meridia. I needed to verify whether my system is working as it should be.
With no idea of how it is supposed to work. I simply said one word that every protagonist who had a system-based power would say, "System appears!"
And nothing happened...
Is what Meridia said even true? But there's no way it wasn't true as I wouldn't be in Skyrim if it were fake. Making me think that there's some sort of keywords that I need to say to make sure the system opens up for me. It's making me use my brain a lot in order to crack this thing up.
Numerous attempts had been made with 'open system' wasn't the right one.
I let out a sigh, "Should I try to contact Meridia again via the beacon and ask her the right way to use the system... I'm sure that she would be irritated by hearing my question but I have no choice."
I laid my hand onto Meridia Beacon and was about to start the system that I got. "Hello again? How do I open System-"
Couldn't even finish my question as soon as I said those words. The system appeared and I almost laughed as the opening menu is something that took me by surprise.
-MERIDIA SYSTEM V1.0-
Does she even need to place her name on that opening menu? I know it's her blessings and she was the one granted me this system. But really? Meridia System... is she really trying to make everything belong to her?
And don't forget about how the system actually works. I literally needed to touch the beacon in order to access my system. How inconvenient it is, but I guess this is the work of a Daedric Princess who want everything related to her. So I shouldn't be surprised at it, honestly...
Putting that matter aside, the system layout is the same as what Skyrim actually is. Plus, I got some basic skills like fireball and healing... just like some Skyrim.
With some addition of being able to view my own stats. Though it was not as impressive but that should be expected since I am new after all.
-Meridia Champion Stats-
Name: Chad Michael
Level: 1
Yet I have one complaint about my stats... why the heck did my name become Chad? And who the heck is Michael? My real name is Alex Harrington, and why would it change so drastically to that. I have no idea if it's a joke from Meridia but there's no way a Daedric Princess would do that. As we're talking about Meridia here, the one who values order.
Though it gets worse as the inventory that Meridia is talking about... it exists but you still need to touch this beacon in order to store the item. Meaning that everything that I do is bound by this beacon. I can't escape from this annoying thing.
Making me remember the game where this beacon would appear randomly and force itself upon the player. I suppose that's how it works here as well. So I couldn't run away from what I have been tasked to do.
It's a pain in the ass but again... this is Meridia and this how she does thing. But I should just let it be and focus on the task ahead.
I guess it's time for me to get out of this shipwreck, then and head to Meridia Temple. I hope it ain't that far from where I am right now. Because if I am near Winterhold, it's going to be a long walk and I can't afford to hire a carriage since I have no Septim (GOLD).
It took me a few minutes to navigate myself inside this shipwreck. Along the way, I got myself a nice full set of leather armor and an iron sword. Which I take, of course as I should get rid of my clothing right now... it doesn't fit inside of this world and doesn't provide any protection.
When I finally got out of the shipwreck, I felt like I had become an adventurer already. Remind me of my first playthrough on Skyrim. The excitement and the thrill it gives, it's similar to what I'm feeling right now.
Also, the annoying feeling of needing to carry this beacon, as I can't store it inside my inventory. If I found a bag, I would gladly put it inside yet there's no back or even a sack inside of the shipwreck.
But at the very least, I'm not that far from Solitude, as the map indicates that I am at the Wreck of the Brinehammer.
I could head straight to solitude but I felt like it's going to take days at least. If it's in the game, it should be faster but seeing how I am actually in Skyrim. The place is indeed huge...
So the best option was to head to Dawnstar first. I need some supplies and a proper way to carry this beacon while I'm on my journey.
