I stirred awake as my senses picked up various unfamiliar noises such as loud animal cries that didn't sound quite right. 'What the Fuck? Where even am I right now?' I thought as I opened my eyes and saw the rocky and dark ceiling of the cave. Sitting up off the hard stone floor I looked around fused but fairly calm , apathy for the win. It was a small pce really , not more than te deep into the mountain and only a few feet wide and tall. I could only barely stand up in the cave with maybe six inches separating the top of my head with the jagged ceiling. None of that mattered however in the face of what I saw appear in front of my eyes.-

  [WELE HOST TO THE RANDOMIZER SYSTEM!]

  [Dispensing starter pack! gratutions you've obtained 1x on nguage(skill) , 1x Random skill ticket , 1000x Poke`(currency) , 1x silph co bag , 5x pokeballs(item) , 1x random pokemon(panion)!]

  "You have got to be shitting me!" I couldn't help but say in disbelief at the floating blue words in front of me. Despite not doing anything the words colpsed into a small blue roulette wheel in the er of my vision leaving a bag with a pokeball symbol on it in midair that fell to the ground. ign that I tried to reopen the system 'Uh , system?' I thought , nothing 'Status?' and a blue s popped up startling me for a moment before I calmed myself down again and really looked over the s curiously. It was in a familiar RPG game type format with my the top followed by my age and theher system features before finally showing me my actual stats.-

  Now I may not be an expert in such matters but even I khat my stats were REALLY low after looking my status s over. 'Um , I don't know if you like read my mind or some such but could I get an expnation on your funs , please?' he mentally begged. [Host is reeo asked more specific questions for easier assimition of system knowledge.] The blue message popped up in front of the rest of the status s proving that this thing was reading his mind. 'Well that's not ing at all , whatever. Tell me about these stats and why they are so low.' he mentally thought.-

  [Strength: the ability to exert for an objeove it. Agility: the ability to trol ones movement with precision. Aura: the natural lifeforce of all things aermines ones p the hierarchy of life. Intelligehe ability to learn aain knowledge. Charisma: the ability to draw attention and attraanipute others via words or as and includes ones appearance. Luck: affects all things you do but is based on the probability of the oute. A baseline adult human has an average score of 5 in each stat]

  I read over this information carefully before ing to accept it as it made sense all things sidered. Before I found myself in this situation I definitely ted as a baseline human with no training or excessive education to speak of. 'What about the Roulette , trading shop and quests?' I question in mind and another answer popped up expining each of those things. They worked exactly how I had assumed from the names. Roulette used tickets of whatever type I had to randomly draw one such type of thing. The trading shop oher hand allowed me to trade items and money for tickets for the roulette.-

  Quests however were a bit trickier sihe system could randomly decide to assign a quest to me that I could then plete for a reward. The system had also specified that it could only assigs that I could actually plete with my current means. It was also not allowed to assigs that directly lead me to near fatal sarios to plete so that was a relief. The quests were also entirely optional so if I wao I could simply opt out entirely , not that I likely would. Are you kiddihis is the most exhirating situation I have ever been in!-

  'What about the iory? How do I use that?' I asked eagerly. How could I not be eager after learning that I had the ability to be more than just another human? For the first time in a long time I was actually motivated to do more than the bare minimum and I wao seize every moment of it! [Iory is tied to the rgest portable ste medium avaible to the host.] The system expined in it's mono tone blue text manner , not that I minded. 'The rgest ste medium is probably this bag on the ground.' I thought as I eyed the strangely normal looking backpack curiously.-

  If this bag worked like the ones from the games it was frankly busted as all fug hell. The bags in the games could carry a stupid amount of items in a mahat I only describe as sce fi nonsense. Clearly it somehow had an expanded spa it that was much bigger than the bags size would make one guess , that or the even more busted ability to shrink things to tiny sizes. Either way I eagerly picked up the bag that felt like it was made of cotton and unzipped the top of it before peering into it.-

  The inside of the bag was actually fairly normal looking as all of the normal items were the size I assumed they would be and somehow seemed to take up nearly no room. The pokeballs were about the size of an e with the standard red and white pstic look you'd image. There was also three pin white tickets with bck lettering that said what they were for o the small pile of golden s with a seal of some sort likely from the pokemon league. Taking out the on nguage ticket I spent the five mirying every possible means short of destroying it to get it to activate.-

  In the end I chose to ask the system embarrassed at how stupid I must have seemed before I did so. Holy speaking I didn't want to rely on the system more than absolutely necessary to learn as It defeated the point of me putting in effort otherwise. Freebies are nid all every now and then but all the time spoils the experience , like pying a game on godmode. As it turned out the activatiohod was in fact destroying the ticket on purpose. The on purpose part was rather important as the system warhat actal destru or destru via an outside source other than me invalidated the ticket.
