Chaos Evolution: Only I Was Granted 3 Wishes
Chapter 9: System Shop!

Moving through the forest, Draco, who had nothing to do, asked the System several questions he had in mind.

"System, what are the ways to gain stats without leveling up?"

[Well, host, you can acquire and use techniques to increase your stats and potentially even gain affinities. Techniques come in all types, such as meditation, body training, and weapon techniques, or even techniques that can help you with professions like alchemy.] The system stated.

[There are also rare items and materials that can serve a similar purpose. All in all it's quite common to meet beings at the same stage or lower with stats that far eclipse yours. There are also dungeons, rifts, inheritances, ruins you can explore and gain useful things from.] The system stopped.

"Oh..." Draco didn't know what to say.

Knowing that there were beings who hadn't even evolved yet with more stats than him was definitely humbling, as he didn't know much about the world before.

"So... How can I get these... Techniques?" He asked.

[You can replace them in dungeons, make them yourself with the help of the system, or just buy them from the system shop.]

"I see. I guess those rare materials and ingredients can be found in similar places or somewhere like this forest and caves." He said.

[Affirmative Host.]

He contemplated deeply and then said: "Show me the system shop."

"Oh? There are so many weapons." Draco opened his eyes in surprise once more when he saw the various options he could choose from.

"I'll buy the One-Handed Steel Sword!" After contemplating for a bit Draco decided

[Roger, Host!]

[One-Handed Sword Added To Inventory! 1250 Gold Deducted.]

"Inventory." Draco called.

An instant later, a panel appeared in his field of vision with a single box that was occupied by a sword; everything else was empty.

"Where is the newbie pack?" He asked almost sarcastically.

[No newbie pack for the Host.]

"Haha. Let's try using this sword." A second later, he summoned the sword in his hand.

Holding it a bit, he immediately felt familiar with it; Draco guessed it must be the skill [Lesser Sword Proficiency] at work.

He swung it a little and was immediately drowned by the sound of system notifications.
