WAHAHA!
So I got something by getting struck by lightning?
Nice!
I don't know how useful points would be though. I guess I would look into the system shop later to see if there's anything useful.
But before I could do that, my oh god! There was literally a hole on my roof now!
And through that hole, rain went in.
Luckily, there was no furniture inside, so nothing got wet. If anything, I only got a nice wash by the rain.
"Oh wait!" I suddenly remember something. "Don't I have something to repair this with?"
So "system open!" I said.
And I saw it, the name of the skill.
"Self-Repair (Level 1)"
Now, how do I use it?
"Self-Repair!" I shouted.
But nothing happened.
Hmmm… maybe I shouldn't just say the name of the skill and actually use my will instead?
So I focused on the hole in the roof.
I imagined it repairing by itself.
Suddenly…
[Not enough material! Could not initiate the self repair process!]
[Material required: 1x stone, 1x wood]
"WHAT???"
As the system replied to me, I was flabbergasted!
Did I just got freaking scammed?!
Material?
How the fuck can I get material now?
Sure, there was a literal forest surrounding me, with plenty of resources for sure, but how can I get them?! Without able to move?
"Oh wait! I do have material!"
I suddenly remembered.
The lightning stuck me, yes, but didn't it only cause some of the bricks to blasted and fell? I wondered if I could reabsorb them and then use them as materials.
But to my surprise, I couldn't find it.
Eh? WHERE THE HELL ARE THE DEBRIDS?!
And with that, I realized something else.
I changed camera view, looking for the window door that I had broken earlier.
And to my horror…
Gone!
IT WAS GONE!
So, if something broke off me, it would be gone? Forever?
Damn!
Then how can I able to repair the damage now?
Sure I can survive this storm, but what about the next? Then the one after that?
Do I really have to accept my fate and let nature blast my body apart, bit by bit, until nothing is left but ruins?
The thought sent another wave of terror through me.
But right at that moment, the system flared to life once more.
OH RIGHT!
POINTS!
Didn't I just got 10 points earlier from my achievement? Awesome!
"Yes please!" I replied at once.
Now then, I wondered, how many points would it cost?
[For repairing a 2 meters diameter , Repair cost: 10 points.]
10 POINTS?!
"WHAT??!? IT'S THAT EXPENSIVE?!"
That's literally all the points I got now!
I couldn't believe my eyes, that's how much it cost to repair just a tiny hole!
And for this reason, I became a bit reluctant to use it.
After all, I still didn't know how to get points, so these points seem to be really precious right now. If points are really precious like some kind of gacha game currency, then if I use it now, I would waste it, and screwing myself over.
Yeah, my 6 years experience playing Miyoyo games finally came in clutch!
You CAN'T scam me, System!
And besides, did I really need to repair that hole right now?
The answer was obvious.
No.
I was already wet.
And I couldn't think of anything truly bad that would happen if I didn't fix it immediately anyway.
Maybe some mold would grow on my floor and walls?
Yeah, probably mold.
Honestly, I wouldn't even mind it. In fact, I might actually welcome some mold—or maybe new flora growing inside me—for a change of pace.
And so, I decided to save my points for now.
Instead, "system, open shop!" I commanded.
[Do you wish to unlock first shop level? Unlock cost: 10 points>]
"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?!"
If I spent 10 points to unlock the shop, I'd be left with nothing!
NOTHING!
Suddenly —
[Ding! Achievement obtained! 10 days in Azef!]
[Congratulations! Points + 10!]
Ooooh, talk about perfect timing!
I'd somehow earned another achievement and more points! Heck yeah!
"Fine! I will pay 10 points! Open the freaking shop!"
[Ding! System shop level 1 unlocked]
[Points + 10]
[Points left: 10]
A new window appeared in my vision.
