On that day, Arima leveled up, and the system was unlocked. He can now chat with the system. And the other rewards appeared on the golden screen one by one.
He sat in the tree, but before checking the reward, he jumped and opened the system.

[99+ OTHERS]
He found it difficult to choose what suited him because all the options were good. However, since he could only pick one, after some time, he decided to choose the armament. It allows him to buy time when his Dusk Slash is on cooldown. He can use it in the meantime to confuse the enemy with his skills.
'Yosh!' Arima said with a smile, looking forward to using it. After deciding on the skill, he checked the others he had received in the system. He checked the system to see what he had unlocked, and then details appeared about it. He had unlocked the system and could now command it, changing whatever he wanted within it.
[CONGRATULATIONS, HOST! YOU CAN NOW ADJUST THE SYSTEM.]
A monotonous voice, like that of an AI, said
Then, he changed the system based on the novel he had read. Whenever he needed something, he just had to think, and it would appear. Lastly, the key to control was what he needed. He first had to rotate it to enter or exit the dungeon, depending on what he wanted.
[YOU HAVE CHANGED THE SYSTEM. HOST]
He sighed in relief, glad that the system wouldn't force him into the dungeon again. He had barely survived to get out, and it was thanks to the intelligence he had invested in that saved him.
The sun had risen, and it was almost noon. He jumped into the tree. 'It's time to head back,' he said, leaving the forest to go home. While he was walking home, he checked all the points and EXP he had gained from the battle.

The boy prioritized his strength because he believed that being strong was just as important; it allowed him to instantly finish off his enemies.hen, his body glowed for a moment as his stats increased, signaling that he had received the boost.
Before he closed the status, a key appeared in the system—the key to the dungeon. He set it aside for his next dungeon raid. For now, he wanted to rest and be with his family.
A day has passed since the mandatory battle in the dungeon
Arima had been resting after the battle, but in the morning, his father, Jayce, decided to take him to the capital. Jayce lifted him out of bed, causing Arima to wake up. 'Little brat, wake up,' Jayce said with a warm smile. 'I'll show you the capital.' Arima was gently placed on the ground.
'Capital?' he repeated.
'Yeah, so get cleaned up,' Jayce said.
He immediately went to the bathroom to wash his body. His muscles relaxed for a moment, and later, he came out, rubbing his hair to dry it.
Then, he went to his room to get dressed. After that, he immediately went outside. 'I'm ready, Father!' he shouted.
'Oh, come out here before we're late for the parade!' Jayce called out.
Then, they walked out together, waving at Raevhen in the house. 'Keep safe!' Raevhen shouted to them.
While the two of them are walking to the capital, they pass through a lengthy forest.
As they entered the capital, they heard the loud beat of drums. Arima was curious about it, since this was his first time hearing it. Even in his past life, he hadn't known it. When they finally saw the parade, different mascots and cosplayers were in line, dancing together. Arima's heartbeat raced in excitement. He was happy to see this kind of event.
After the parade passed by them, Jayce took him to a place where different cosplayers gathered, like in the anime he watched. And he takes him to the amusement park afterward, where all the kids are playing
This city was similar to his past life, where technology had been invented. It was the first time he saw it, his past life, he had never seen such a wonderful place because he was always stuck at home. Even though he wanted to go outside, he couldn't because they didn't have enough money. After he grew up, he was busy working.
and he felt emotional.
As they walked past different buildings, Arima saw how clean and organized the city was. Even the stores were left open because the people trusted each other. He saw various foods like ramen and samgyup, and as soon as he spotted them, they hurried to eat. He didn't expect that such a place would exist in this world.
And he was glad that Jayce took him to that place because he enjoyed that little moment of the day. And When they returned home, he fell asleep quickly, dreaming of eating Japanese food and Jayce was happy that Arima enjoyed the day.
