Locked in his room with little to do, he decided to look at the System once more.

'Leaving aside the low stats... Should I level up my Race? I don't remember anything about that. Is it because my memories are fragmented?'
He tried to review all the memories he had of this person, and although he had a considerable amount of information about the SSS-class Family and various parts of the world, there was no information about leveling up.
'¿Is it because they weren't taught? I understand that these Young Masters are often kept in the dark about various things before they go out into the Outside World.'
He didn't know why they did that, but if it was necessary to level up, then it made sense why everyone in his family was always hunting powerful beasts and why they valued his younger sister so much.
With the ability to travel between dimensions and easily access other worlds, she wouldn't have to expend so many resources just traveling between worlds, a valuable asset for locating the best places to hunt beasts.
'Well, I guess I'll learn it later.' He looked at the 11 stat points he had and decided to add them later.
'I'd better choose my Destined Path. Then I'll see about the rest,' he thought.
His thought was not alone, as a System window accompanied it.
[New Mission]
[Choose your Destined Path]
| Previous Reward: 10 System Coins.
| New Reward: 100 System Coins.
[Choose wisely]
"Another mission?" His eyes lit up, and a smile finally appeared on his face. 'Well, something good among all the bad, right? It was about time.' He encouraged himself and looked back at the Four Destined Paths.
For him, someone who came from the Modern World, all of this was impressive and something he would like to try.
Magic, swords, and martial arts were things he had read too much about during his life. As a lover of fantasy novels, it was his lifelong dream to be able to cast spells or wield swords, which is why one of the promises he made to the woman who betrayed him was to visit a great museum called The World of Swords. Unfortunately, he was not destined to go.
He even practiced martial arts because of his love for them.
That's why it was natural for him to be very interested in each of these paths. Additionally, in his memories inherited from the previous owner of this body, he had also seen magicians, including Launchers, Enhancers, and Illusionists, which was fascinating in itself.
But... even though all of that caught his attention intensely, there was one path he couldn't ignore.
'Armamentalist,' he thought.
A Magical Path that explores Firearms of different ranges, used as magical catalysts.
It sounded peculiar, but what caught his attention the most were the most characteristic weapons of this Magical Path and their firing power, as well as the great versatility they offered for specific occasions.
He suddenly stopped thinking about it and opened a drawer under his large, comfortable bed.
There lay an interesting firearm, slightly peculiar, but beautiful in every way.
It was a revolver, in simple terms, but much more beautiful than any of theirs. It rested in a leather holster that could be wrapped around the waist. For the era in which this world operated, encompassing the Middle Ages, the Victorian era, and slightly futuristic themes, such as those Louis saw when he looked at those mountains and their civilization, it was an unusual weapon.
Its short, sturdy barrel, with intricate dragon-like details, contrasted perfectly with the rest of the weapon in absolute harmony. It was silver, and every detail seemed to be sculpted in gold or some other shiny metal.
The person who designed the details of this weapon was undoubtedly a skilled gunsmith.
Its beauty slightly overshadowed Louis and reminded him a little of one of the weapons used by the protagonist of his favorite novel: The Lord Mysterious.*
It also reminded him of the person who gave it to him: 'Little sister... although she says my mother sent it.'
Since he was a child, he has always had a strong love for firearms, especially those that can be wielded with one hand or the snipers. That love intensified when he read his favorite novel* and saw the protagonist using one so splendidly.
Thanks to that novel and the wonderful weapon in his hand, he felt compelled to try the Armamentalist Path.
'I'm not like everyone else. If something went wrong, I could still do well on the other paths. Magic, Sword, and Martial Arts, I'm sure I'll try each of them someday, but for now...' He made up his mind.
Immediately, he pressed the fourth option in the System and confirmed his choice.
[Congratulations! You have chosen the Armament Path as your First Path.]
[This is an unexplored path with little research available. All the information you need to get started will be sent to your head.]
[The System Store has been activated: Initial Setup for an Armamentalist]
[Congratulations. You have completed the mission.]
[100 System Coins have been credited]
[You have received 10 Stat Points]
A large amount of information entered Louis's head about how to use different types of weapons, and a new section appeared in his system.

| Occupation: Armamentalist [First Sequence: Novice Armsman]
At the same time, two skills were unlocked for him.
[Revolver Enhanced Shot: Level 1]
| After gathering a large amount of Passive Energy inside you, you can transfer it through an Armamentalist Weapon to the bullets inside it, to fire it. Each shot will use the maximum power drawn from your Strength attribute, concentrated in a small bullet.
| It is a physical attribute shot.
| Each level you ascend will give you 1 Free Use Stat Point.
| Use it to level up.
"Oh. This is a pretty good skill to start with. I wonder how much those bullets that can hold Passive Energy like magic cost."
Passive Energy is everywhere in this world and does literally nothing. You get it naturally by killing to level up, and it gathers in a place called the Passive Core.
It is there and has no function within you, but it is the passive force of all Awakened Ones, as it serves to create the Magic of Magicians, some sword attacks, and also some Martial Arts attacks.
[Hunter Gunman Agility: Level 1]
| When you activate the skill, you gain the speed, agility, and dexterity of a Hunter Gunman.
| Agility: +10%.
| Each level up will give you 1 Agility Stat Point and increase the percentage of Agility gained by activating it.
This second skill wasn't exceptional, but he was already satisfied with the first one. Anyway, skills are just an important bonus to his abilities; they're not everything he's got.
Now, he decided to check out the System Shop once he verified his skills and knew how to use them, as he was curious to see what he could buy.
Then he was shocked.
