Darius Supreme-Chapter 553

Finally, Darius moved onto the System main menu. Here were the functions that really defined this new system, and the first of them was the Settings menu. According to the True Supreme System, nothing new had happened here that was able to pique his interest.

Next was a very exciting and lifesaving mechanic, the Save/Load feature. Darius opened it and saw that yes, he did indeed have five slots and that the user design was pretty nice and aesthetic.

Darius wisely took a snapshot of himself right now. It was the perfect time as he was in a safe location where combat wouldn't occur for a few days and still had a load of unassigned Ability and Stat Points, as well as unspent True Coins.

If something were to happen in the future that forced him to come back here, he would have a lot of time and resources to gear himself up to tackle it.

After making this single snapshot, he didn't make any others, for now, only observed the one he had made to see what details it shared. He saw that it displayed his progress, power, the date of the snapshot, and many other details.

Satisfied with his findings, Darius moved onto the Pause option. Naturally, he immediately paused the world and felt like time had halted. No, he didn't just feel it, he knew that time for everyone and everything in Faust had frozen.

It wasn't that people were slowed down infinitely until it seemed like they stopped, everything had come to an immediate halt. Even Darius himself could not move, merely his mind could think and still access the True Supreme System with ease.

Darius knew that if he left the True Supreme System's interface, the paused time would resume. Its purpose was to allow him to access the Shop to make a quick purchase if he wanted to change the situation, to Fast Travel, or use whatever means he could to escape or overcome a fatal situation.

It would also allow him to access the Load feature if all hope was lost, so he could revert back to a previous moment in time.

Still keeping the world paused, Darius moved on to the Music sub-menu. It included every single song he had ever listened to in his two lifetimes and had categorized them.

The amount of detail the song had was related to his knowledge of it, so there were many songs that were just snippets long or had as their title. Those were the songs he might have overheard at the mall, in a bar, or somewhere else without really paying attention or even bothering to find out their name.

Darius tried a few that he remembered and liked, pleased that they sounded perfect. It was as if someone had placed spatial surround speakers around him.

It offered him the choice to switch between Headphones Mode, which would mean that only he alone would hear it, Spatial Surround Mode A where it would play externally but only he and those he chose would be able to hear it, or Spatial Surround Mode B that would basically turn him into a living boom box.

No matter, which choice he would make, it would certainly make his days less boring. Music was something an Earthling that transmigrated to another world would easily miss as it was an integral part of our lives.

Darius had put on a catchy song as he checked Videos and Pictures, both of which were blank. He would have to manually take those if he wanted them, so he would take some time to capture rare moments if he could.

Interestingly, he could export the videos and pictures he made, so it would be a good way to capture evidence of a person's act without being seen. Whether to prove his innocence in a matter or to use as blackmail to achieve a certain result, it was good either way.

And this left the one thing he had been looking forward to opening the most all this while, the Shop. When Darius opened it up and was immediately greeted with an interface that was similar to mobile games from Earth, a counter with a shelf behind listing various top goods.

He saw many things like 'Limited time sale", "Premium gift pack" and more with huge timers and flashy cartoonish for them. The counter itself was manned by an anthropomorphic rabbit that was chewing a carrot.

Darius saw at the top that his total amount of True Coins were listed, at 15,000 exactly. With such a windfall, Darius Stone was certainly sure to measure how much value a single coin had.

He decided to use his transmutation as a value for comparison. So to begin, he searched up a bowl of Lunar Dew's cost. It was listed as 12 million True Coins, which shocked Darius, for it was far cheaper than the price Transmutation gave which had been 345 million CP!

That was 96.5% less than the Transmutation cost! One should know, that conversion was made using Pure Water as the source, which was one of the closest materials in quality to Lunar Dew that would reduce the cost.

Whereas from the Shop, he would be getting that bowl raw and at the highest quality, just like what his Transmutation would yield.

So, was 30 CP equivalent to 1 True Coin? Or was the scale far more skewed?

The answer was complex. The two currencies had different sources and different ways of being utilized. CP was free, produced every day at a set amount with no labor costs or thought from Darius, its only downside being its limited amount.

TC were acquired through completing anything in the Activities tab that gave out such reward, which required labor of different values, but the amount he could acquire was not limited in a day.

However, the Activities that gave out such reward were not infinite and its circulation into his hands was controlled by the True Supreme System.

So it was going to be tough to compare the two. Since Faustian currency couldn't affect the two either, it was hard to use that. As such, Darius would have to get a feel for himself using his own senses.
