《I Will Be Recognized》3. Scammer!
Advertisement
When I woke up, I was confused. 'Where was I? Who am I? Why am I a baby?' These were all things the person in question should know. I took a step back and calmed myself.
I remembered quite clearly that I died. Therefore, the only conclusion I could draw was that I had reincarnated into another world, just like those anime shows I watched in high school.
After taking some time consolidating my memories, I found my identity in this world. Surprisingly, people in this world had the ability to remember everything from birth unlike my previous world where babies were incapable of cognitive thinking until 2-3 years old.
My name was Daniel. I apparently lived with my mother in a rural village. As for my father, I don't seem to be able to remember him. Was my mom a widow?
[Ding!]
I felt like I had heard something.
[System Notification: Good morning host, here is your first daily reward]
[Received: 5 Merit Points]
[First Time Reward: Skill Upgrade Coupon]
I seriously thought I was hallucinating when I heard the mechanical voice speak.
'Host, was that me? I'm a host?'
After thinking about it, I realized that this must be the so-called overpowered gaming-like system I read about in web novels.
I tried to say status but realized that I was still a baby that was unable to properly form words. I inwardly thought, 'Status.' A blank screen filled with unknown characters soon floated into my vision. Although I did not know the words/characters, I could somehow read it.

Curse: Unnoticed Potential(Legendary)
~~~~~~~~~~
Since I could understand the mysterious text, it was most likely that the text was composed in the Argon Language. As for the curse... A curse? Was I a cursed child?
[System has noticed the host has been in an unconscious state for the past 8 hours. Does host wish to recall previous notifications?]
'Previous notifications? Of course, I want to know!'
[Ding!]
[Adhering to host's request]
—5 minutes later—
'Which D*mbasses idea was it to put an expiration on a coupon and a curse as a prize?' I indirectly mocked the system.
After taking some time to relax a bit, I grew curious. 'How do I know what these skills do?' It did not look like the system had an appraisal function like in the stories I read.
[System suggests buying the appraisal skill in the shop]
'Alright, seems more like it. Open the shop!'
[Beep!]
[This function requires 10 merit points to unlock]
'Unlock it!'
[Ding!]
[Crouching Dragon Shop(Legendary) has been unlocked]

~~~~~~~~~~
I looked at the screen that popped up in my face. Which one was the appraisal skill?
'Buy the appraisal skill.'
[Ding!]
[Received: Eye of the Dragon(Rare)]
[First Purchase Reward: Skill Upgrade Coupon]
I didn't exactly know what the coupons were for but I was the type who couldn't say no to free things.
'Appraise the curse.'
[Beep!]
[Skill level insufficient]
'What the f*ck. Then appraise Dragon's Pride.'

[Beep!]
[Skill level insufficient, suggests host to upgrade skill]
This system really wanted to scam me. Making me buy a skill that didn't work. Now it wants me to upgrade it? Was that what the coupon was for.
'Alright, upgrade Eye of the Dragon.'
[Ding!]
[System Notification: Skill Upgrade Coupon has been consumed]
[Eye of the Dragon(Rare) will now upgrade into Eye of the Dragon(Epic)]
[All system bought objects, skills, and techniques can be freely appraised by the system]
[Would you like to appraise its functions?]
'Yes.'
~~~~~~~~~~
Eye of the Dragon(Epic):
The all-seeing eye of the dragon is in your hands.
1. See through everything at Epic and under.
2. SEALED
~~~~~~~~~~
It looked like I won't be able to find out what this curse does until I upgrade Eye of the Dragon again.
'Appraise Dragon's Pride.'
~~~~~~~~~~
Dragon's Pride(Epic):
Dragons are a strong and prideful race.
1. You inherit its nature and gain a 30% damage increase when fighting against people who disrespect you.
2. SEALED
3. SEALED
~~~~~~~~~~
'Why were so many functions sealed? Would they be unlocked when they are upgraded?' I tried asking the system but it did not give a response.
I looked at my current Merit Points and it was a whopping zero.
'How do I get more Merit Points?'
[Information will be revealed when host is of age. For now, live your life]
Hearing that, I could only do as it advised and live the life of a baby while accumulating Merit Points via daily rewards.

Everywhere there are superheroes and supervillains, but Adrian is just a ghost. His power allows him to go anywhere unnoticed, and he hasn't wanted to be noticed at all. Until today, this telepath could barely remember his own name, let alone what his purpose in life was. But no one can ignore their destiny forever. Adrian needed a wakeup call to come back to the world, and it came in the form of an unstoppable rampaging super. He must keep his feet on the ground now if he wants to survive and become the strongest sane hero left standing - and save the city he loves. Author's Note: This will be my fourth original novel here on Royal Road so you can have confidence in my completion rate. My last book 'Creep' received both extreme praise and criticism which I have taken to heart. My intent here is to redouble all the best elements of my writing. I hope you enjoy!

A man, a martyr, sacrificed for the good of humanity, is now confronted with the lack of body. someone not calling themselves a god in any way decides that the only way is reincarnation, whether the man likes it or not. :3 ah, yes, the classic reincarnated as a monster trope in a fantasy world of magic and stuff. funsie funs. I'm not gonna come and say I've turned it on its head or anything, I'm just gonna say that the main character is a rabbit, he does not have any knowledge of any o these types of novels, the "god" character is not a god in any way, the evolution process is gradual and there are no screens telling him all the usual information like "what is that" in summary, don't expect anything great, but I hope you'll be along for the ride. :^))
