Is this system getting more chatty with its messages or am I just imagining things? Regardless I have something to do until Fumiko gets back so this works out great for me.
I need to get my stats up and the system has given me a chance to do exactly that so this is going to be great.
As he goes to punch the training dummy he misses. "W-What!?! It's literally right in front of me, how do I just miss!" Saito shouts with a bit of confusion in his voice.
If I didn't have a system I should've been able to hit this target since it's not moving, does the system implement an actual chance factor into this! That means I rely on chance for these type of things after all but a normal person could hit me without this....
Well if my system wasn't active I guess they could but now they should be in the same boat as me. I've got to get all my chance stats up so that I won't have to worry about getting hit.
A couple of hours of trying to hit the dummy and managing to hit it eventually force him to take a break.
I never thought it would be that exhausting to try to hit something before but my chances of hitting something are low. A 20% chance is terrible and all I can do is hope that it'll get higher as I do this.
The system wants to help me but I know it won't just give me everything so easily. The percentage it'll go up probably won't be that high since my Gamble only went up 15% before.
Something like physical Hit Chance probably will only go up like 5 or 10% total if I'm lucky enough. That's just me guessing since I don't have much knowledge on how it'll work just yet.
But I've practiced trying to hit this training dummy for long enough... Time to try out the weights for a bit since that's also part of the quest.
He begins to test out the weights but is hit with a small notification window just like the dummy. [Strength chance] 30%. Meaning just like his chances with hitting the dummy, he also has this issue with trying to lift weights.
(Another couple hours pass by.)
I really am a completely different person with this system active now, I can't even lift a weight without chance playing into it. This might actually prove to be quite the difficult time for me.
It didn't even tell me how many times to do all of this so I could be busy for the rest of the day. I've got the motivation to keep pushing myself to get stronger but this is just a lot different than what I expected.
I can't get stronger like normal people or like how they do in some games, everything is based on how high my luck is. It makes me wonder if it ever decreases in any way?
[System]
It might be possible to ask this, but I don't know if it'll actually answer me or if it'll give me some sort of bullshit response.
How strong can I get, or rather what will the highest levels be like?
The system seems to be quiet for quite a few minutes before finally giving some sort of response.
Luck will bend to your will Saito, the odds will always be on your side. No one will be able to handle what you'll be able to unleash in the future.
Haha no crazy spoilers for you though, no information about what skills are possible or what stats will look like are going to be given to you. There's no fun if you know what to expect. That's the most information you get for the time being.

At least that's better than nothing, being able to completely control luck is definitely enough to give me an idea. Luck resides within everybody and will always be a factor in life.
I will work as hard as I can to level this system and increase my chances with everything until I'm unstoppable. What will I even do with all that power?
Why should I work towards that if I'm not going to be a hero.... I'm just thinking about this now. If I'm doing this all for personal gain then wouldn't I be just as bad as one of the Villians.
They are using their powers for themselves, to gain something that only benefits them. I just never wanted to be a hero in my life, but I don't want to be a villain either.
There's so much more to this than I originally thought, what exactly is the best option for me here? Could I just ignore the system entirely and go back to my normal life after everything that's happened.
With Fumiko in my life and the potential of people coming after me, I don't think it's possible. If I could've avoided that last quest then maybe I wouldn't have to worry about this.
Saito gets up and continues on with his training after that last thought. There's no way to avoid any of this now, he's already out in the spotlight for everyone to see.
Heroes, villains, and even the general public eye is on him. This world doesn't allow people to hide in the shadows when they have something special to them.
The only ones who get away with hiding are the villains of the world.
Pow!!! One of his punches land after numerous attempts once again.
I don't ever want to weigh down Fumiko either though, especially if I want to be a part of her life. I just need to figure out what the right path really is for me.
To be a hero... Is that really the right option? Sigh.
