Apparently, only 0.001 percent of readers have subbed for priv chapters and much less has voted power stones for my hard work and effort... much less have sent gifts and added my book to their library...
these are the only way i can be compensated as an author, and all I only ask is for 10% of my readers to vote for the novel, buy privileges and send me gifts... is that too much to ask?
Send me gifts and buy privileged chapters...
Take care of me everyone, so I can take of everyone too...
Your gift is the motivation for my creation. Give me more motivation!

"Origin!" Daniel King uttered as the system confirmed his User Id
User ID Confirmed
Welcome Origin
"I am your system personal assistant who can be activated with a thought Kindly provide me with a name"
"Daisy!" Daniel muttered a name he knew all three personalities wouldn't reject
"Hi Origin, I am Daisy, your system personal assistant Would you prefer my in-built system settings or would you like to customize to you preferences"
"Bring up the system settings"
Chu-Lom!
The screen popped up as Daniel took a quick glance at everything until he got to a part that read;
Artificial Intelligence Enabled
Emotional Intelligence Disabled
"Daisy, can you please clarify the pros and cons of the emotional intelligence option"
Chu-Lom!
"Emotional Intelligence option grants the system an access to your emotions and feelings. This significantly boosts the response speed of the system since all it requires is to collect data on User's emotional responses to create an automated response system"
"Brilliant. Activate emotional intelligence!" Daniel said with a smile
"Emotional Intelligence Activated Welcome To Your User Interface" Daisy responded...
Daniel saw a 3-stacked dash symbol which signifies the menu and then clicked on it
Chu-Lom!
Please select the system you wish to explore
Daniel was stunned when he found out that the name of the system had completely changed due to the merger.
The only system he was currently looking at read; [Imperial Relic of Ancient Scholars]
Daniel then clicked on the icon as the system brought him into another interface
Here, he saw different options that read;
Character & Traits
Occupations
Quest
User Status
"That's pretty detailed" Daniel smiled as he clicked on occupation and saw;
Alchemy
Beast Taming
Blacksmithing
Rune Making and lastly,
Royalty Literacy of Ancient Empire
"Oh, so this is where you are" Daniel muttered to himself before waving off the screen and returning to the previous menu
Here he clicked on Quests and then entered into another page that was empty with some words that read; No Quests available at the moment
Then he returned once again to the previous menu before selecting the status option and then;
Chu-Lom!
Then he saw all his details;
Physical =>
Name: Origin
Host: Min Hong
Age: 13
Sex: Male
Height: 6ft
Weight: 50kg
Complexion: Golden Jade
Then he went on to read the next page;
Mental =>
Condition: Bipolar
Stability: Low
Alts: 3
State: Linking
Strength: Silver Rank
Level: Middle
Capacity: Limitless
When he saw the details of Min Hong's mental state, Daniel who was slightly confused asked;
"Daisy, kindly explain these details I am looking at"
"SureThe pros of being bipolar means the host can switch from one emotional mood to another due to the presence of multiple personalities and the stability is the strength of the link between all personalities" Daisy began to explain
"Alts means the amount of alter ego present within the Host and state means the current status of the bond between these alts"
"Strength is the current level of your mental power whilst level is its current grade."
"Then finally capacity is the amount of information your mind can carry which due to the constitution of the Host's soul is potentially limitless." She ended on a high note
"So, in a nutshell, we are currently nuts" Daniel then moved on to the next page which read;
Soul =>
Condition: Purifying
Stability: High
Alts: Five
State: Unlinked
Strength: Silver Rank
Level: Middle
Capacity: Infinite (Universal)
"Much better" Daniel sighed softly as a recent but familiar voice sounded once again;
"Purifying means the soul is still being purified by the [Buddhist Chant of the Cherubs] cultivation techniques and the five alts are referring to the total amount of souls accessible by Host" responding to the Daniel's desire to explain these details, Daisy began her automated explanation
"The unlinked state means these souls possesses no telepathic bond between them" Then she stopped since Daniel himself understood the rest of the details
Then he swiped to the next page which read;
Cultivation (Body) =>
Condition: Evolving
Stability: High
Strength: Emperor Stage...
Level: Peak
Bloodline: Dawn Sovereign
Purity: 29%...
Spirit Rings: 0
>Type: 0...
>Tier: 0
"It is labeled 'Evolving' because Host's entire body anatomy is being upgraded by his bloodline whilst the high stability refers to the solidity of his body cultivation foundation"
After getting another explanatory summary, Daniel moved onto the next page which read;
Cultivation (Qi) =>
Condition: Nurturing
Stability: High
Strength: Dan Formation
Level: Peak
Bloodline: Locked
Purity: Locked
Daos: 4
Type: Mythical (3), Legendary (1)
Tier: Intent Level (3), Concept (1)
"It was termed nurturing because Host is currently incubating nine nascent souls, whilst the locked bloodline and purity means that, information concerning those topics have been restricted from anyone's prying eyes including mine"
"P.S >> this means anyone who is capable of locking this information from me is almost half as powerful as my creator"
Daisy explained fully, as Daniel shifted his focus to the [>>] button as he clicked and landed on the next page which was slightly different from the rest, but was titled;
Abilities which was just all the divine abilities Min Hong possessed, like the 'Imperial Edict' which enslaves others via the 'Minion Mark'
Then he kept swiping and clicking as he passed several other menus which ranged from the Techniques & Arts menu where all his cultivation techniques and martial arts' name, effect, level, tier and the likes down to his Relationships menu which recorded the details of every living thing both deceased and alive that had any form of relationship with Min Hong
There was even a name which was a new entry;

Everything within the history log pertaining to Kun Chao present within Min Hong's brain were on full display
After going through many other different pages, Daniel finally arrived at one of the most crucial menu within the system and it read; Shop
Stilling and readying his mind for the most exclusive rip-offs deals he had ever seen in his life, Daniel Clicked on the menu as the;
Chu-Lom!
Sounded through every part of Min Hong's brain before the page then displayed its submenus which read, Cultivation, Healing, Pet, Companion
Daniel clicked one of the companion option could choose from which read;

"Item nature determines if the item is a by-product of dark magic or light magic, whilst the Dao boost refers to how much boost one can obtain if the abilities gotten from the beast core is powered by Daos corresponding to the nature of the beast"
Daniel looked to the next item which was also another beast core but read;

After getting another briefing of that beast core, Daniel then moved on to the next item on the list which made him freeze on the spot when he saw its price;

"Grey nature means that this item can be used for both Light and Dark Magic, whilst the variant rarity signifies that the item would evolve and regress along with its user's strength"
"One million Cowries?!" Daniel who had already discovered that Cowries were the currency of this system, just like spirit stones is to cultivators
Thus, Daniel quickly asked; "Daisy, do you know how I can earn cowries from the system?"
"User will receive 100 cowries monthly from the system when in mortal realm, 1000 cowries monthly in spirit/bloodline realm, 100,000 cowries monthly in divine/ancient realm and 10 Million monthly in the God realm"
"User can also earn cowries by completing the different quests that would be issued by the system, and finally, there is also an insurance/banking mode available"
"Quests are ranked from D to S in order of increasing difficulty and definitely, their rewards are increasingly exponential to their base value"
"D rank quests are multiplied by a factor of 2, while C ranks are multiplied by 4 and B ranks are multiplied by 6"
"A ranks are multiplied by 8 and S ranks are multiplied by 10 therefore, if a quest as a base reward of 200 cowries, then its D rank version would amount to 400 cowries as rewards whilst its S rank version would amount to 2000 cowries"
"There are also other bonuses that are added to these rewards, like time taken to complete the rewards as well as the methods employed, etc." Daisy explained
"But as for the insurance part, this involves saving 1% of your total monthly or yearly income with the system, and in any case that user data gets wiped from the system, user would be refunded 50 75% of all resources previously owned by user"
"But, user data will only be wiped for security and privacy reasons in the case that user loses system to others or dies the percentage refunded would also be based on the cause of loss" Daisy added
"If the loss of the system is caused by user's ineptness or carelessness, then the maximum amount refunded can only amount to 50% of total amount of resources previously saved in user data file..."
"But in the condition where user is unable to prevent the loss of system after trying his best, the maximum amount refundable would amount to 75% of total resources saved under the user data file with added bonuses which are affected by T&C..." Daisy explained.
"Then finally, if the loss was caused by a system malfunction, then system would refund 150% of the total resources saved under the user data file once the system is restored..." She added...
