Chapter 2: Talent system
"Let me explain to you more about the talent system." God said, as he waved his hand.
Following this, 2 new panels opened up side-by-side in front of the young man.
[Path: Education
Talent Category: Mathematics
Talent Subset: Mental-Math
Proficiency: Inept
Potential: Mastery
[Mathematics Shop]]
[Path: Entertainment
Talent Category: Chess
Talent Subset: Mid-Game Chess tactics
Proficiency: Beginner (From past life)
Potential: Master
[Chess Shop]]
"Humans have talents in different things." God explained. "Albert Einstein wouldn't be able to run as fast as Usian Bolt, neither could Usian Bolt be able to solve Physics like Newton."
"With the talent system, you will have certain talents with the potential of completely mastering subjects. That doesn't mean you don't have talents in other fields, it's just not recognised by the talent system if you don't have the greatest potential."
"Proficiency tier list goes from: Inept, beginner, intermediate, advances, B.O.F (Best of Field) and mastery."
Seeing the young man a little puzzled, God asked him if he had any questions.
"God, what is this shop here?" He asked, pointing at the chess shop.
Suddenly, both panels disappeared, and an entire new panel opened.
[Chess Shop:
Openings: 100,000 Entertainment Points
Mid-Game (Acquired)
End-Game: Entertainment Points]
"Chess is one of the ones that barely has any other subsets. If you got something like music, every single instrument would be on the shop page. Entertainment points is something you will earn as you perform in front of masses of people. Similarly…" God said, as he waved his hand again.
[Mathematics Shop:
Algebra 100,000 Education Points
Arithmetic 100,000 Education Points
Geometry 100,000 Education Points
Probability and Statistics 1,000,000 Education Points
Number System 100,000 Education Points
Set Theory 100,000 Education Points
Trigonometry 1,000,000 Education Points
Calculus 100,000,000 Education points]
"Proficiency can also be bought. All in all, as long as you walk forward, you can learn everything in the world, or maybe nothing at all." God explained.
"There is also a Gacha, if you want to unlock a new category in the paths after being sick of studying the same thing forever."
"To gain Education Points, you will simply have to perform well in tests, exams and so on. However, you will only gain points in mathematics exams, similarly you will only earn entertainment points in the chess world, until you unlock a new category."
The young man nodded, understanding what God was explaining about. As long as he followed this game life system, his life would be super easy.
"Now, I believe it is time for you to go." God said with a smile on his face.
The young man then bowed a little, as he thanked god.
God then waved his hand, causing the young man to leave the endless void, as God then opened a panel to look at the world he had sent the young man.
"Ah…I forgot to tell him it's a different world."
…
As one steps into the room of this 14-year-old teenager, they would be greeted by a sight that is best described as organized chaos. Clothes are scattered all over the floor, with some piled high in the corners of the room. The bed being unmade, with sheets and blankets in disarray, and a few crumpled papers peeking out from underneath.
The desk is a cluttered mess, with books, papers, and various electronic devices haphazardly scattered on its surface. A chair is buried under a heap of clothes, and it's clear that it hasn't been used for sitting in quite some time.
Micheal was right now waking up, with half confusion and acceptance.
"Damm, in this world, I am known as decent at Mathematics already…and I had recently discovered chess." Micheal whispered out loud.
God conveniently forgot to mention 3 important facts to Micheal.
Firstly, he was not in his world, it was in a completely different world.
Secondly, he was in his 14 year old body, which was slightly weird for a 17 year old. The worst part was that he had to go through his dreaded and cringy friend group and school again.
Lastly, Micheal has had his talents in this word for the past 14 years already. So most of his school already knows him as a genius in Mathematics, being able to solve complex equations inside of his head.
He had recently picked up Chess about a month ago, since it was enforced by the United Federation.
Right, in this world, world history has changed a lot.
This world was something that had a lot of wars, which caused Sciences to boom. New weapons, theories and ways to travel faster had all been discovered. Technology was basically super advanced.
The entertainment sector had barely moved, causing there to be a lack of sports, songs and even movies to be made.
'I think I know which way I am moving.' Micheal thought, as he thought back through his memories.
Sure the education world would be nice, however Micheal had already lived a life of studying before, and he was sick of it.
"I shall conquer the Entertainment world. Maybe on the side I can become a little smarter." He thought.
The young man then thought about the system, and opened it up. 3 different panels popped up in front of him.

"YOUNG MAN! IT IS TIME FOR SCHOOL! ARE YOU UP YET!" Micheal heard an angry shout.
'Mom has not changed in this world too huh. I am surprised she let my room be so messy." He thought, as he got up to get ready for school.
Right now he is still in America, it's just that the world has changed a little. However, to him, with a perspective of already living here for 14 years, he didn't really mind too much.
He quickly got up and changed for school, while wearing his Uniform. He went to West Valley High, a private middle-school so he had to wear a uniform for classes.
He was able to get a half scholarship into the school with his mathematics talent.
The year was only 2004, however technology more advanced than 2023 had already been released in this world.
A levitating school bus for example.
His mother quickly came out and hugged him, leaving him to go to school.
As Micheal entered the bus, he saw his friends at the back and walked up to them.
Jason and Sean. You guys are the same in this world huh.' Sean was on his phone, scrolling through Instagram, and Jason nodded at him.
To him, he hadn't seen his friends in a year, after he moved in his past life, but here, they had been friends since Elementary school.
The United Federation had made a standard education system in the entire world. Grades 1-4 were Elementary Grades, 5-8 Middle-School and 9-12 High-school.
However, this world focused way more on the development of the Arts right now, thus the system was compulsory for all schools to follow, that in a day, only 2 hours of subjects were taught. The remaining time was used to play sports, music and maybe even games such as Chess, which Micheal played before I merged with him.
Since it was early in the morning, his friends were just chilling at the back of the bus, so he tried to put on his airpods and tried to think about his future at the back.
However, listening to the horrible music, he couldn't help but frown.
He then tried searching for top artists from his old world, however most of them had yet to create music, and even if they did, it was horrible compared to their peak.
Bruno Mars didn't even exist yet !
Micheal immediately felt disappointed, but then quickly began to see this as an opportunity.
"Hey man, have you finished your chemistry assignment yet. I couldn't understand Organic for the life of me." Jason eventually began talking.
Micheal was surprised and began to wonder a little. They are learning organic Chemistry at the age of 14? He learnt that at 16.
After checking his ipad, he realized they weren't even learning the basics, and were already learning about Electrophilic Substitution reactions.
How the hell were these kids surviving here?
