[Ding! Congratulations Host, you've obtained "Infinity - Enhanced Version".]
Seeing the reward, he got, Yuuki was surprised but then he said"Infinity? Which Infinity ability is this? And it's even an enhanced version."
Though Yuuki was surprised, the excitement on his face was impossible to hide. However, in the very next moment, his expression suddenly froze as a strange and unfamiliar sensation spread throughout his body.
It felt as though his entire body was being reconstructed from the inside out, as if he were undergoing a complete rebirth.
However, Yuuki didn't panic. He quickly realized that the sensation was caused by the system imparting the Infinity ability into his body.
As Yuuki received the reward, the system's voice once again sounded in his mind, answering the question that had been lingering in his mind.
[The ability Infinity originated from The Seven Deadly Sins, belonging to the Great Sorcerer, Merlin. This ability not only contains Infinity itself but also encompasses the vast collection of magic Merlin has learned throughout her life.]
[Since this is the Enhanced Version, its potential surpasses that of the original. Its power can continue to grow alongside the user's talent, creativity, and mastery of magic.]
The process of imparting his newly acquired ability was surprisingly quick. By the time the system finished explaining, Yuuki had already recovered and was now fully focused on her words.
Now that Yuuki knew the Infinity ability was the very same one wielded by Merlin, he became elated.
"Amazing. This is my first time claiming a login reward, and I already got such a powerful ability. Just what kind of rewards will I receive in the future? Maybe I'll even get an ability or item that's even more powerful than this!"
Yuuki trembled with excitement just imagining himself obtaining even more overpowered abilities and legendary weapons like certain sword embedded in a stone and power to reject concept and phenomena even crossed his mind
Just thinking about it made Yuuki's grin became wider before he began laughing strangely to himself.
If a loli happened to see him in that state, she would probably back away in fear despite his handsome appearance, thinking she had just encountered a creepy weirdo.
Yet, it seemed that the system had enough of his foolish behavior and decided to pour a bucket of cold water over his head.
[If you think like that, then you're bound to be disappointed, Host.]
The system's words snapped Yuuki out of his excitement. He wasn't stupid, and he immediately realized what the system was implying. "System, you mean..."
[Yes. What Host is thinking is correct. Obtaining good rewards doesn't always come easily. You will need to depend on your luck on that.]
After hearing the system's response, Yuuki couldn't help but let out a wry smile. His guess had been completely correct. "It seems there's really no such thing as a truly generous reward."
"But it's okay. I have all the time in my life. If I'm lucky enough, I'll eventually get those powerful abilities and items."
Yuuki didn't feel discouraged in the slightest. Instead, he became even more excited at the prospect of obtaining random rewards every day. It reminded him of the thrill he used to feel whenever he pulled for an SSR or UR character in the gacha games he played back in Japan.
Seeing Yuuki remain optimistic instead of becoming disappointed, even the usually indifferent system couldn't help but acknowledge his positive attitude.
...
In a different dimension, a beautiful small, petite girl wearing a long white sleeveless dress sat gracefully upon a futuristic looking throne. Her long platinum-silver hair fell well below her waist, while her petite figure made her look no older than a young girl.
From her throne, she watched a screen displaying Yuuki. Her lips curved into a faint smile as she observed his optimistic attitude.
She then opened her small mouth and spoke softly.
"You don't need to worry about always relying on your luck, Host."
...
Yuuki was still feeling positive when his system suddenly continued speaking, leaving him confused.
"What do you mean by that?"
[Like the gacha games from your original world, the check in feature also has a pity system.]
"Seriously? That's great." Yuuki felt as if gods haven't given up on him yet, since they gave him this sure hit reward system.
The system's voice continued to ring in his head as she answered his question.
[Yes, Host. On the first day of every month, you will reach the pity threshold. At that time, you will be guaranteed to obtain a powerful ability or highly useful piece of equipment equivalent to an SSR or UR reward in gacha games.]
Like a seasoned gamer planning out his next moves, Yuuki nodded to himself as he began imagining the abilities and equipment he might obtain in the future.
After a few moments of fantasizing about all the possibilities, Yuuki suddenly asked his system a random question.
"By the way, System, do you have a name? Or is there something I can call you other than System?"
Yuuki looked at the system interface, waiting for her response. He was fine with calling her the system, but he also wanted to call her in a different manner.
A moment of silence passed between them, making Yuuki feel a little awkward. He began to regret asking the question, wondering if he had somehow angered his system.
[Thanatos.]
However, just as Yuuki was about to speak again, the system suddenly answered his question with a single word before going offline, completely ignoring him.
"Thanatos? As in the god?"
Yuuki asked again, but there was no response. He waited for a while, but the system remained completely silent this time.
"Uhh, so... Is she mad or something?" Yuuki had no idea what had just happened.
"Well, let's forget about it for now and start practicing this new ability of mine."
Since his system was ignoring him, Yuuki decided to spend some time practicing and becoming more familiar with Infinity. At the same time, he would search for a nearby city so he could figure out where he was and learn more about this unfamiliar world and even guess which anime world he was at.
Yet, before doing so, Yuuki crossed his arms and pondered for a moment. "If that name isn't referring to the god, then what is it? And why does that name feel so familiar?"
Thinking deeply, Yuuki began mumbling the name under his breath.
"System... Thanatos... System... Thanatos..."
The two words continued to echo in his mind, yet for some reason, he couldn't remember why the name felt so familiar. No matter how much he thought about it, nothing came to mind. But Yuuki had a hunch about something from interacting with his system.
"Sigh, let's think of that later. Nothing's going to happen if I just stand here doing nothing, after all."
With another sigh, Yuuki began walking forward, heading toward the distant mountains and forest.
What Yuuki didn't know was that a certain girl was watching him from another dimension. Seeing him walk away, she chuckled to herself in amusement.
"Interesting. I don't know why I became a different kind of system, got transported to another world, and became bound to an individual. But... this doesn't seem too bad."
As she said that, her platinum-silver hair danced around her beautiful face as she gently shook her head.
