The sky was so dark that it resembled black coal after burning, and golden rays spread through it. These rays were only the first rays of the sun that penetrated the calm and dark red sky. It seemed as if the world was vibrant with life.
In this moment, you can feel hopeful and inspired. It is a new beginning, an opportunity for growth. The sun's rays give us a signal that life goes on, and that there is always an opportunity for change and improvement, or at least it should have been that way.
Arthur stood in front of the castle gate and next to him stood a blue cat with some white fur in the stomach and chest area. It's his first summon Tom, Arthur turned around and looked at the cat, Tom, who was still rubbing his eyes and wanting to sleep and tom was still in his pajamas.
Arthur opened his mouth and said, "Sorry, Tom, I know you want to sleep, but...as you know, we have a fighting, and I am completely dependent on you."
Arthur put his hand on Tom and patted his head, Tom turned his head and saw that Arthur was talking to him seriously and was not lying. It seemed that he really depended on him a lot. Tom shook his head and the lazy and sleepy expression disappeared from his face. He puffed out his chest and turned towards Arthur and put his hand on his chest.
Arthur smiled lightly and said: I know, Tom. I am counting on you and I know that "You can win." Tom raised his head proudly and walked in front. Arthur stared at him and felt guilty and said to himself, "I hope he will forgive me after he sees what awaits him."
Arthur's body trembled as he thought about a certain troublemaker with the potential to produce thousands of nuclear fireballs with enormous explosive power. He nodded with pity and said while he was watching Tom, who had already taken several steps: "Well, anyway, I'd better continue on my way and catch up with Tom."
Arthur took a few steps before saying to himself: "By the way, I remember that I did not receive the last reward from the system." He moved his head slightly. He said: system, are you here? All Arthur heard was the sound of his steps and Tom's steps, who was still holding his chest up. He looked like a professional and veteran bodybuilder.
Arthur felt a little embarrassed and said, "Oh great system, are you here?" The system did not respond. Only a red screen appeared with an emoji: "¬_¬ "
Despite the system did not respond to him with words, but Arthur was able to sense the meaning of that symbol, as he felt that the symbol was saying: Do you think I am a fool to believe you again? Arthur thought to himself: This system seems somewhat intelligent and has independent thinking, and it seems that it is easily irritable and not honest with itself.
Arthur sighed and said sadly: "Why are you like this, System?" A blue system screen appeared on which was written: "What do you mean, Host" Arthur felt a slight loss because of the system cold words, then arthur instinctively opened his mouth and said, "I mean, as you know, rimuru great sage skill, always helps him without bothering him, and it's always there whenever he needs the great sage."
An awkward silence fell in the air. Arthur opened his mouth and said again, "I'm sorry, I did not mean that you." Before Arthur could complete his words, a red system screen appeared on which was written: Ignorance is truly bliss. Okay, host, please choose one of the following four rewards:
Airbending
Waterbending
Earthbending
Firebending
Since the host talks a lot and complains a lot, I will answer you before you ask when choosing an element and after your understanding of it grow and the more you master the element, the stronger the element will become. After reaching full mastery, the host can master a higher form of that element. So, foolish host, please choose an element quickly and do not disturb this system anymore.
Arthur watched the system big blue screen with a lot of helplessness written on his face and said to himself: even though I feel bad about what the system said, but this system really knows me damn it I feel bad and the problem is that I can't refute it "Okay, let's focus on choosing from the suggestions presented by the system." Arthur stopped walking and thought deeply: "Well, first of all, let's put each element with its strengths and weaknesses in the initial state:
*Earth element:
Limited offensive ability
High defensive ability, as it can be used for self-defense by forming shields or barriers.
But it may be slow to respond and not and suitable for fast attacks.
*Wind element:
Medium offensive ability, as it can be used for remote attacks using wind storms and it easy to control and feel.
But It cannot be used freely in closed places and it can be affected by other magical interferences and vibrations.
*Water element:
A good offensive ability as it can be used to produce and control water and make big waves and it has a good defensive ability that can be useful for healing and replenishing powers.
But It need a lot of magic energy and may be limited in dry locations.
*Fire element:
High offensive ability, as it can be used for large-scale fire attacks that leave behind burns and severe injuries.
But it causes a lot of damage to the user and It may be ineffective against heat-resistant skills."
Arthur was silent for a while and said: Aside from the high defensive ability of the earth element and the high offensive ability of the fire element, the water element is the best thing that can be chosen because it combines good defensive ability and good offensive ability. This is what made it the best element in the initial stage, even though it requires a large amount of mana consumption in some cases but it will not be a problem, so system I chose the element of "Water."
Immediately after Arthur finished speaking, the blue system screen appeared, reading: "All this time to choose an element?" Arthur was silent and had nothing to say, but fortunately the system broke the awkward atmosphere and a blue screen appeared on which was written: Rewarding the host with the ability of Waterbending.
Arthur felt a warm stream penetrate his body and vaguely felt that he can control water now. Arthur opened his mouth and said: Thank you and system, I apologize for what I said before." The system screen did not appear for a while, and Arthur did not show any discomfort either.
After all, before to make the system appear, he had deliberately provoked her. While he was about to add another apology, the system screen appeared: friendly advice from the system instead of standing here and talking it's better to hurry up and meet the Yellow Primordial before dawn passes."
Arthur stared at the horizon and saw that the sun was becoming clearer in the sky so Arthur decided to speed up his steps and found Tom also walking. after he reached him, he said: "Hurry up a little Tom. We have to get there quickly. We have about half an hour left to arrive." Tom nodded and increased his speed to match Arthur's, and they walked in a coordinated manner. Arthur did not notice the small words found at the bottom of the blue system screen "There is no need to apologies Host, I'm not really angry, I'm just scared, maybe?"
