《Adventures of a Reluctant Pacifistic Monster》Ch.2 Nugget of Truth

When he woke up, it was as if something was trying to dig its way out of his skull. The pain just kept on growing worse over time, and he almost went crazy thinking it would never stop. Maybe something had pity on him since the pain disappeared just as suddenly as it appeared.

When he was finally able to open his eyes, he was astonished. He was floating in what appear to be the infinite cosmos. He was surrounded by pure darkness with the only light source coming from the infinite number of stars twinkling in the distance. It was breathtaking.

“Enjoying the view”

When he heard a voice behind him, he tried to turn towards the noise but couldn’t. He felt as if the voice was crushing him, making it impossible to move.

“Don't worry little critter, it’s probable better that you don’t look upon me. The last thing we need is for you to lose your mind, even if this is a mere fragment of my true self. My voice should be enough.

‘Are you some type of god?’ was all he could think to say, but no words would leave his mouth. That’s when he remembered how he had been called a critter, so he moved his arm up to his eyes only to see a little black paw. ‘I’ve already turned into a porcupine, great. That’ll make it much easier to communicate.’

“You don't need to worry about communicating, I can see all your thoughts. To answer your first question though, I suppose I could be called a God based on your perceived notion of one.”

‘OK, well, hello and thank you for answering my question Mr. all powerful god. If I could ask another question, what am I doing here?’

“It's OK, you don't have to worry about where you are, this is merely a place I chose for aesthetics. Now enough with all this nonsense and silly questions, let’s get to why you’re here. That’s what’s truly important.

You are the only being to have ever landed on the ‘777 spot’. It was a little thing I added to give the system some extra flair and let a lucky fellow learn some hard truths about the system.”

‘Wait, did you create the system?’

“Don’t interrupt me! I have many things to say. So, do you want to hear about it, or do you want to waste some more of my valuable time.”

‘Nope, I’m all good, no more questions. Please go on.’

“OK good. As I was saying, I added the spot so that you could learn some truths. Like the fact that the point system has a TINY flaw.

OK, so you know how you can use points to buy skills, titles, bloodlines, and all sorts of good stuff, right. It's not even that hard to get ridiculously powerful in a short amount of time. I’ve always felt that I made it a little too easy, but what can you do, this was merely an early test version of my system.

So far so good right? Well the real problem comes from those lucky few fellas that become overlords of their own worlds. They always try to advance to the next level of power, only for them to die slow agonizing deaths.

You see, when you buy things from the system store, it’s not really your own power. So, all it does is stain your soul little by little until it makes it impossible for you to grow in power without ripping your soul apart. But apart from that it’s fine.”

‘How is that a TINY problem?!’ If you consider that a tiny problem, I don't want to see a big one.

“It’s fine, all they had to do is not buy anything from the system, but you don’t have to worry about this. I’m going to give you something special, some special little things called pristine points! Don't want to use those dirty little points, exchange them for pristine point!

“Ok, so you may need ten normal point for one pristine points and not all things in the store can be bought with them, but don’t worry about that! Nothings perfect.”

“Well, it’s all up to you if you use them or not. You could just use normal points and become the overlord of your world; however, you would never be able to brake though that limit. So, you get all that?”

‘Yeah, I think I got all that. So, is that it or is there more, also can I ask some questions now?’

“Yes, there’s still a bit more and NO you can’t ask any questions yet.”

“Ok so, as part of the nugget of truth package (love that name!), if you give me your 777 points, I’ll modify your status to help you as you begin your brand-new adventure! This is a onetime offer, so don’t let this opportunity pass you by!”

‘Wait what do you mean by modify? Will you change my race, skills or give me some extra bonus stats?’

“NO QUESTIONS! Just chose! Yes or no!”

‘But I need more infer…’

“Just Chose! Yes or NO!!!”

‘But I…’

“YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!! YES!!! NO!!!”

‘FINE!!! Yes, whatever, just do it!’

After reading everything that that crazy god was doing, he couldn’t help but realize that he’s screwed. ‘OK, you’ve had your fun; can we finally have a proper conversation? I’ve got lots of questions and I’d be grateful if you could answer them.

“I Wish I could, I really do, but… it seems we’re out of time.”

‘OH, COME ON!!! I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS!!!

“I’m sorry, but if you had any questions you should have spoken up earlier. I’m not a mind reader.”

‘THAT’S EXACLY WHAT YOU ARE!!! YOUR SUCH A PIECE OF….’

“It’s ok, I know you’ll miss me. You don’t have to be so upset, but if it makes you feel any better while you sleep, I’ll send you to your new home world. That way our parting is easier.
