[However, this system does understand the host's concerns, host would you like to open the "Beginner gift pack"?]

Arlecchino silently called out to the [Inventory] and a new screen with many grids appeared before her eyes, 10 of these grids are currently occupied with 10 different items.
"Hmm.... can I get a brief description or explanation about these items system, just to get an idea of what I am dealing with" Arlecchino said as she curiously inspected the items in the [Inventory].

World : Lord of the Mysteries.
User : Klein Moretti.
After carefully reading the details of all the items that she obtained, Arlecchino did not hesitate even a moment longer.
First, she took out a Senzu bean and consumed it.
The moment Arlecchino consumed the Senzu bean she felt a refreshing sensation spreading throughout her entire body, every cell, muscle, tissue and bone felt rejuvenated.
The weakness she felt before disappeared, replaced by newfound strength.
Then, she took out 2 small round crystals from her [Inventory], they are skill crystals.
Then without hesitation Arlecchino crushed the skill crystals one by one.
The moment the crystals were crushed, the essence of the skills merged with Arlecchino.
[Ding]
[The host has successfully obtained, Passive Skill - Wild Card]
[The host has successfully obtained, Active Skill – Presence Concealment]
After she was done with the 2 skill crystals, Arlecchino finally turned her attention to the potion with a dark blue colour and gelatinous texture.
Unlike the other items Arlecchino was a bit cautious when it came to this potion.
Though unfamiliar with the true nature of [Outer Gods] and [Great Old Ones] the ominous warning etched into the potion's description was enough to make her wary.
"System what is an [Outer god]" Arlecchino asked.
[An Outer God or A Great Old One in "The Lord of the Mysteries" world is a being who is a direct representation of a certain aspect of the universe, they are beings who have surpassed Sequence 0 [True Gods] and ascended Above the Sequence]
[Just being in the mere presence of an Outer God or Great Old One can corrupt a creature's mind and soul]
[They are Incomprehensible entities with powers beyond imagination and the less you know about them the better, because knowing too much may also lead to being corrupted by these entities]
Arlecchino listened carefully as the system explained, the more she listened the more she rejected the idea of drinking this [Seer potion].
No matter how she looked at it the risks outweigh the gains.
The abilities of this potion is tempting but she would not gamble her life on something beyond her control.
She does not want to become a puppet controlled by a higher being.
Then just as Arlecchino was about to completely reject the idea of drinking the [Seer potion]. The system spoke up interrupting her thoughts.
[You do not need worry about this matter host, because you already possess a skill that can help you protect your self from the Spiritual imprint in the "Seer potion"]
After the system mentioned this matter, Arlecchino suddenly remembered her newly acquired Passive Skill.
"I see..... it's Wild Card" Arlecchino said while secretly making a decision in her heart.
[Exactly host, Due to the Wild Card's ability to house multiple stable personas, host may bypass the 'Acting Method' required to stabilize the Seer Sequence.]
"I see, receiving both the Seer potion and the Wild Card skill at the same time, is this a coincidence or Fate.
Well, It does not matter, now I at least have a guarantee of my safety when consuming that potion" Arlecchino said as she took out the "Seer potion" from her Inventory.
Then without hesitating any more she removed the lid of the potion bottle and drank the entire potion in one motion.
As the blue gelatinous potion entered her mouth, it was not pleasant, the texture of the potion only made it worse, but she still swallowed the entire potion without wasting even a drop.
[Passive Skill - Wild Card - Activated]
Along with the system notification, Arlecchino felt a certain force awaken within her.
At the exact same moment, with the awakening of this force, the spiritual imprint within the Seer potion showed no signs of resistance at all and even actively cooperated and slowly assimilated with her.
Due to the power of the Wild Card, Arlecchino completely skipped the process of "Acting" to digest the potion.
It did not take long before the entire potion was digested and Arlecchino successfully took her first step on the path of the sequences.
"Sigh.... this feeling of gaining power is quite refreshing" Arlecchino said as she inspected her body's current situation with calm expression.
But her inner emotions were far from being calm.
