System Creator System: I Can Create Systems!

Hearing Derick's question, the system immediately replied.

[For now, there aren't any tasks for you to complete. When the time is right, you will receive a task that will reward you with a soul training manual.]

[Don't be impatient as being too hasty when you still haven't even completed training your first training manual will be detrimental to the development of your power.]

Derick nodded his head as he understood that the system was caring for his well-being.

'Indeed… I can't be too hasty. Not to mention, I shouldn't be that unlucky to encounter an enemy with mental or soul attacks, right?'

'With that in mind, I should just focus on training my first training manual until I can get my second training manual.'

After Derick pondered about that, he decided to use his training ground feature and familiarize himself with it.

Since he couldn't get his second training manual, he might as well use his training ground feature first.

But after noticing that he was still in the middle of the streets and disappearing out of nowhere would catch unnecessary attention despite no one being present in the streets yet, Derick decided to be cautious. He immediately headed to his house.

***

When Derick opened the door to his house, no one greeted him and welcomed him.

Although his parents' problem was solved, his father was still in a coma while his mother stayed in the hospital to take care of his father. Because of that, his parents couldn't live with him and their house was left all to himself.

Not to mention, Derick still had one problem left and that was his financial difficulty.

Even though his problem regarding Raymond was solved, that didn't mean he became rich overnight. The hospital bills were too expensive and even if Derick sold their family home and land, it wouldn't be enough to pay for the hospital bills.

Before Raymond made trouble with him, Derick used to work part-time at a worldwide fast-food chain. He worked at McDowell's, a fast food chain that was almost in every corner of the world as McDowell's branches were located in every country of the world.

Because of that, McDowell's was very popular and that alone made Derick a decent salary despite working part-time there. McDowell's was also surprisingly humane towards treating its employees as if the owner wasn't a capitalist and didn't care about money.

There were even free meals for its employees so Derick missed working there.

Unfortunately, when Derick started bullying him, he could barely keep his body in top shape so he was absent from his part-time work. He knew that he was fired from his job and he was already been replaced by another part-timer.

If he remained an ordinary human, he would feel that he lost such a valuable part-time job. But now that he awakened his mana and became one of the few awakened humans, Derick knew that his future became brighter than before. His future was at least brighter than a caped baldy's head.

With that in mind, Derick waited for the opportunity to earn money and now that the dimensional gate had descended, he knew that his wallet would become thicker and his bank account would have more zeros.

After all, fame and wealth would accompany the strong. And to obtain more wealth, Derick knew that he had to train hard to obtain more power.

As Derick thought of that, he opened his system screen and activated the training ground feature while he was inside his home.

Afterward, Derick's figure disappeared into thin air as if he was a fleeting ghost.

***

In a white cubical room, a brown-haired young man appeared out of nowhere.

Derick Smith, the brown-haired young man, shifted his gaze across the entire white room as he surveyed his surroundings.

The surroundings didn't have any wind, but he could still breathe normally. The white room was so silent that he could even hear his heartbeat and breathing.

Despite being in an enclosed space, he didn't feel suffocated. Not to mention, he felt that the white cubical room was small yet it didn't have any walls. The distance between himself and the end of the room was indescribable.

No matter how Derick thought of it, he couldn't grasp the secret of the white room.

-Ding!

[You have entered the Training Ground!]

[The flow of time inside the training ground is two times faster than the outside world. Spending two seconds in this room will only allow a second to pass in the outside world.]

[You can control the environment in this world as well as summon or create any training-related objects. But, you can't create living objects in this world as well as food and other consumables.]

Reading the words displayed on the system screens that appeared in front of him, Derick had a rough idea about the training ground.

"System, start constructing the training ground that I have in mind."

"It's time for me to start my training arc!"
