Lucifer's Descendant System Chapter 19: System

Chapter 19: System

19 19 - System

"Status," He said, pulling up his own statistics.

[User: Noah Stern

Level: 01, 32/100 exp

HP: 10/10

Strength: 10

Agility: 10

Stamina: 10

Skills:

(h.e.l.l Flames Lv 01 Exp 61/100: A technique that involves invoking the flames of h.e.l.l itself. The flames of h.e.l.l were no different from normal flames, but after purifying so many sins and so many sinners, it became the most powerful flame, having even burned the flame G.o.d himself, making him beg Lucifer to extinguish the flames before he died. To increase the power of the h.e.l.lfire flames, the user must burn sins or sinners.)]

'Hmm, the monsters of a Rank E Fortress will probably earn me more points than the monsters of a Rank F Super Fortress. So, I think that in the next invasion that I do I will be able to raise the level of my [h.e.l.l Flames] ability. If it's already as powerful as it is now, I'm excited to think how powerful it will be after it evolves.' He smiled as he thought about the possibilities of what could happen to this ability once it were to evolve.

'Now I need to find out if I can do something else with this system besides seeing a status screen...' Noah thought as he put his hand on his chin and watched the floating screen.

Suddenly he had an idea. Looking at 'Level' on the screen, he concentrated on that line and imagined a panel opening. And to his pleasant surprise, a pop-up appeared next to the word 'Level' with a description of what it meant.

[Level: A user a.s.similation cla.s.sification system a.s.sociated with Lucifer's powers. The higher the user's Level, the greater the similarity of the user's strength to Lucifer's strength. When the level goes up, the user will receive a mysterious ability from Lucifer. When the user receives all skills and raises the level of them all to the maximum, the system predicts that the user will have a strength equal to that of the Fallen Angel Lucifer, the most powerful angel.]

At that moment, Noah completely lost the appearance of a calm and peaceful person who was unmoved by anything. After reading 'Level's' description of the system, he couldn't believe it was real.

To be honest, Noah already thought that with the potential that he had seen in the [h.e.l.l Flames] skill, he would one day be able to achieve the strength of a blessed Rank B, Rank A, or (if he really worked hard) he might achieve strength of a legendary S Rank, but 'Level's' description was at a completely different, well… level of overpower.

To cool his head a little, Noah got up from the bed and went to put on an outfit, since he was still wearing a towel.

Looking at himself in the mirror, he couldn't help thinking about his appearance. It was understandable for people to think that he had received the Blessing of the G.o.d of beauty, since he really had become much more beautiful than he was before - handsome to the point that at times it was even inconvenient because of the hara.s.sments he received. What Jenny said about him earlier was not so unrealistic, as sometimes some older, wealthy women had even offered to support him in exchange for being their "f**k-toy".

'Perhaps that is the difference between receiving a Blessing from a G.o.d at random and suddenly becoming the successor of a G.o.d. According to the system, I am inheriting everything that Lucifer had. But I wonder... what happened to Lucifer to cause him to need a successor?... I hope to find out one day.' He shook his head in order to throw those thoughts to the back of his mind for the time being and went back to dressing.

Now ready, Noah opened the Status window again and read the pop-ups of everything that was available for him to read. Unfortunately, none added any information as important or revealing as 'Level' had.

'Well, I don't know if the system will release any new functionality in the future, but for now, I will be content with what I have. Looking at everything from that window, I think the only thing that could possibly help me make more money is my own skill or another skill that I will gain in the future,' Noah thought, 'I hope that some skill that comes when I level up can help me earn more money beyond the Fortresses, as I don't think relying solely on Fortresses is a good alternative to quick money because I don't know how strong I will be once my [h.e.l.l Flames] have evolved in addition to not knowing how much experience I will need to level it up again.'

*Beep, beep, beep, beep*…

A small notification alarm started to ring on Noah's cell phone. He didn't even have to look at what was making the noise, since he knew very well that it was the reminder he programmed to warn him to leave the house so he could arrive at the hospital just before visiting hours began so as to enjoy the maximum time with his sister.

Picking up his cell phone from his pocket, Noah left the house wearing a black s.h.i.+rt with no print, black pants, and white sneakers. He was not normally a very vain person when it came to his appearance, especially after starting to invade Fortresses that forced him to choose practicality instead of aesthetics. But in this situation, he always chose the best set of clothes he had in his limited wardrobe.

As he never had much money left, the amount of clothes in his wardrobe was limited, so he used old and worn clothes on a daily basis while always keeping the newest and most beautiful clothes for this moment - when it was time for him to visit his sister at the hospital.

As the hospital was a little far from his house, Noah went to the bus station nearby and in less than a minute, a bus stopped for him to enter.

The trip itself went smoothly; nothing unusual happened while he was on the bus. He had already gotten used to the looks he received when he walked normally in the street because of the old clothes he had, but the looks he received when he got ready to go see his sister were still a little uncomfortable.

As the bus came up to the hospital, his cell phone suddenly received a notification. Looking to see what it was, Noah was a little surprised, seeing as the notification was a text message.
