Please vote with power stones. It supports me a lot, and if I get a hundred power stones by the end of the week, then I will release five extra chapters
Ding!
System has completed update.
My eyes fluttered open. I tuned my mind to stay awake when I heard that irritating sound because it was so crucial to my survival. I got up and looked around. I was in my room. But the funny thing was that I had no idea how I got here. After taking a little nap yesterday, I went to lunch.
Eating something good for the first time in three months felt surreal. And after that, I just wandered about the family grounds. Neverminding the constant looks of judgment from every one in the family, I would say that I handled the day very well.
But it looked like sometime after the sky went dark, I came back here and slept. I sighed and got up on my feet.
"System Homepage."
The blue screen flashed in front of me.

"So no change here? Then what changed?" I asked out loud.
"User has a feature to use the store. The store can be used to buy certain things, like pills, manuals, and weapons. According to User's current status, System suggests that you purchase manuals." the system said.
I nodded. "Show me the store then." I told the system.
A catalog of products appeared before me. I could see so many things that just caught my eye. There were things like swords, axes, and other weapons, clad in a golden light. They were clearly the legendary weapons, and some of them were epic rated weapons.
"Show me the manuals. And show me only the ones that I can buy right now. I don't want to feel down looking at all the high prices." I said.
The array was reshuffled once more. All the weapons disappeared. All that remained were ten products.
"Iron Fist Art. Steel Tyrant Sword. Blue Dragon Spear Art. What is with the names man? But that spear art seems interesting. Maybe I can ask father if there are spears in the family. I can start learning spear arts. Having a weapon is important after all." I noted.
"That is a good choice, User. Blue Dragon Spear Art will cost 3 skill points. Should I confirm purchase?" the system asked.
"Not yet. I am not an idiot. I will wait until I get a spear in my hand. Then, I will think about buying something. It took me so long to get these skill points. Do you really think that I will just use them up like that?" I scoffed.
I looked at the rest. The pills were lucrative, but they seemed to echo the uncertainty that I had before.
"System. Why is cultivation measured in years, and not levels? Because I heard someone say Xiatian here, and that is not the same method you use to measure cultivation."
"Error. Error. Information is beyond User's authority. Level up to learn more."
I gnashed my teeth.
"Alright then. What are the new features other than the store? You disappeared for a whole day. It must be for something."
"User has unlocked missions section. User will have three daily missions to undergo every day. Completing the missions will provide exp for User to level up. There will be one mission which is a story quest, and that will give rewards like skill points, weapons, or legendary pills." the system said.
"Finally. Some proper system cheats. What are the missions I have right now?" I asked.
"User has three missions." the system said. As it said this, three blue boxes appeared in front of me with the missions written on top of them.
Mission 1
Beat Liu Kun in a match
Mission 2
Go to the weapons room and obtain a weapon
Mission 3
Complete twenty cycles of the heaven devouring art
"What about the story quest?" I asked.
A red box appeared in front of me this time.
Story Quest
Win the martial gathering that will take place in two months. Failure will lead to punishment. Loss of three levels.
Completion will give random reward.
I looked at this and baked.
"I need to win that competition that those people were talking about? Are you joking? I don't even know how powerful everyone is! How will I catch up to them in just two months?" I asked, outraged.
"User has the system." the system said nonchalantly.
"And it better make this miracle happen." I said, growling. By now, a light shone through the window. It was dawn, and the day had started.
"Time to start making those miracles." I stretched my arms as I headed out.
