Chapter 4: Chapter 4. Synchronization
Inside my room, I stared at a cell phone screen. I was waiting a little while, but it felt like hours to me.
"...This loading was supposed to take that long?"

All this time I've been wondering how high my stats are going to be, or what kind of skills I'm going to have. Would it be too much to ask for a cheat?
That moment…
The cell phone screen was blacked out.
On the black screen of the cell phone, a face was being reflected. It wasn't the question mark, but my face.
Without giving me a chance to appreciate my beautiful face, the phone started working again and the words started to appear on the phone's screen.
[Eddie Spector, synchronization with Noah Lispector complete.]
[All status reset.]
[Unique Authority: Character Setting, acquired.]
"Character Setting?"
As I recall the Authority Hajin receives is 'Setting Intervention'. Why did I get something different?
Hmm... I don't like it when things go differently than planned.
When I pressed my finger against the screen, several windows popped up.

Is my Authority like a more limited version of 'Configuration Intervention'?
It is very similar, but my Authority does not affect the outside. As the name says, it only affects the character 'Noah Lispector'.
Maybe I can't change the world because I didn't create it. Maybe I can only change myself because I was the one who inserted myself into it by agreeing to the email proposal?
Hmm... I hate it when things don't go as planned.
I can think about it later. Now I should worry about investing my points and creating my Gift.
I suddenly had a bad feeling. Since I had 3 SP, so I tried changing the luck stat from 3,205 to 3,500.
[Invariant stats cannot be modified with SP.]
"Are you fucking kidding me?"
Hmm... I REALLY hate it when things don't go as planned.
I was supposed to be able to modify my invariant stats at the beginning of the story.
Maybe I received my cell phone long after Kim Hajin received his laptop?
Maybe he also failed to change his invariant stats in this timeline?
There are many possibilities. I should investigate this asap.
Should I use my points to invest in my variable stats or turn into SP to create a second Gift?
When you turn a point into SP it is worth less...
I should play it safe and use the points in my variable stats. I might get more SP, but I'll never get the chance to evolve my stats that fast again.
Using the points to get another Gift would be a better choice in the long run. But if I invest in stats, I can start to stand out sooner and accumulate SP faster than if I used the points to create a second Gift.
I have 10 days to use these points. It may be more efficient to use these points on the tenth day, as as their stats increase, the more effort is required for them to grow.
So I train during those 10 days and then invest my points. I'm going to put points into stamina now so I can train longer in this short period of time.
Without hesitation, I put 2 points on stamina.
[By using 2 points, you have modified a stat.]
I feel as if an electric current runs through my body, but it doesn't hurt, it fills me with energy.
[Stamina - 3.8]
Done. Now I just need my Gift.

I thought it would be easy to create a Gift strong enough to break the rules. But they get too many nerfs or are simply denied. At least I managed to create one to my liking.
I smiled as I saw the message written on my cell phone screen.
