[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Randomly Cobbled-Together Dungeon System' 0.1ver test version!]
[Analyzing host's life trajectory... Loading...]
Whatever. A cheat is a cheat.
A sketchy cheat is better than no cheat at all. I'll just wait a bit and see what this system can do for me.
[Analysis complete. Hello, Tester No. 233.]
Tester No. 233... Right, let's ignore that weird number for a second. Can I ask what happened to the 232 people before me?
[Are you... sure you want to know?]
...Never mind.
[In accordance with the rules of fairness, justice, and transparency, this system will inform you of its functions before fusion is complete.]
[1. After fusing with this system, the tester must enter a dungeon after a certain amount of real-world time has passed.]
[2. After entering the dungeon, the system will assign the tester an identity.]
[3. After fusion is complete, the system will have the tester make their first choice.]
[Before entering the dungeon, the tester must choose a route.]
[Route 1: Lone--... oh, wait, that's wrong. Nowadays, it's called the Lone Wolf Route.]
[On this route, the tester will receive a significant boost upon entering the dungeon and will receive 100% of the rewards at the end.]
[Route 2: Alliance Route.]
[On this route, the tester will be matched with a teammate from this world before entering the dungeon. After entering, the tester and their teammate will receive a small boost, and both will receive 60% of the rewards at the end.]
[4. Each time you enter a dungeon, the tester and their teammate will receive the same hidden mission. Upon completion, the rewards for both will be increased to 100%.]
[5. Items and powers obtained in the dungeon can be brought outside. Injuries sustained in the dungeon will be healed upon leaving.]
[6. Although this is a test game, it's not a joke—you can really die. Don't get too cocky.]
[7. For other relevant information, please check the dungeon description after entering.]
After reading these instructions, Aaron decisively chose to fuse.
If he lived in a world without danger, he might have considered giving up this system for a peaceful life.
But in the Honkai world, if you don't have any power, you could be wiped out by the Honkai at any moment. And even if you do have power... it's still not enough.
In short, in this world, you'll die immediately if you don't get stronger. And even if you do get stronger, whether you die or not still depends on the situation. Under these circumstances, the desire to become stronger completely filled Aaron's mind.
[Tester has chosen to fuse. Beginning fusion.]
[Fusion complete. Host, please find an unpopulated area to enter the dungeon. This system doesn't want to waste energy distorting the perceptions of the humans around you.]
[Also, the system's post-fusion Newbie Gift Pack has been sent to the system-provided storage space. Please remember to open it before entering the dungeon.]
After confirming the voice in his head had stopped, Aaron found a deserted place and opened his storage space with his mind.
When he saw the contents of the gift pack, he was at a bit of a loss for words.
[Identity Certificate*1 — Description: The holder of this item will receive proof of identity for the corresponding world. This ID can be verified through official networks, so please don't worry about being an undocumented person.]
[Wallet with Infinite Money*1, Credit Card with Infinite Money*1 — Description: Items to ensure you have money for hotels and food and won't starve to death. Note: If you spend excessively in a short period, the credit card will experience a cooldown. The more frequent the excessive spending, the longer the cooldown.]
[Basic Weapon Usage Skills*1, Basic Physical Combat Skills*1 — Click to use. Description: Don't go into a dungeon not even knowing how to use a weapon or win a fight. You'll bring shame to this system.]
[Honkai Energy Resistance LV1 — Click to use. Description: Honkai resistance that ensures you won't die immediately after your body is eroded by Honkai Energy. Subsequent skill levels must be unlocked via dungeon rewards.]
"What the heck? Even though it's called the 'Randomly Cobbled-Together Dungeon System,' it's surprisingly reliable."
[Well, it has been tested by 232 testers, after all. It's got the basics down.]
So you're saying those unlucky bastards before me got an even more incomplete version???
I was touched for all of three seconds! Give me back my emotions!
[Oh, right. I forgot. Tester, please choose your route.]
Undoubtedly the Alliance Route. There's strength in numbers... You're not going to deliberately find a terrible teammate to screw me over, are you?
Facing Aaron's question, the system didn't make another sound.
Then, Aaron saw a message appear before his eyes.
[Match successful. Tester No. 233's matched teammate is—]
[Kiana Kaslana (K423)]
