Chapter 23: Tutorial [200 PS Bonus]
After cursing up a storm, Grey decided not to care anymore and hurried to activate the tutorial. He didn’t have ti to waste.
The last ti he had made it to the city, he had died because of sothing absolutely ridiculous. Sohow, that arrogant holy knight bastard had managed to control the city and close the gates before he could escape.
He didn’t know how that happened, but if he had to guess, it was probably related to the fact that bastard was either the first or among the first to finish. As such, he got a reward he decided to waste on Grey for whatever reason.
Though Grey was cursing the man as stupid, he knew why Joaquin had done it. That was a man who liked control, to be the center of attention, to lead. He saw an opportunity to use Grey’s death to beco extrely popular, so he had taken it. Nothing more, nothing less.
Whatever it was, Grey couldn’t allow him to finish first. Even when he was in the tutorial, he didn’t slow down. These people had screwed him over more than once before. He couldn’t trust anything they said.
But he also couldn’t afford to skip out on the tutorial either.
He had to clear this pending quest no matter what, but he didn’t even know where to start. He was hoping that this tutorial would have so information about Fras, or Protheus, or maybe loops.
Grey stood in a white room and a screen appeared before him. It had three main categories. The first was Rules—he wasted not a single ounce of ti on that.
The second was labeled Common Inquiries. He clicked through and found information about loot boxes, treasures, the divisions of monsters and challenges, etcetera.
The ranking of most things fell between Common up to Epic and Legendary, but the introduction also seed to imply that there were higher-level things out there. Then the system made a stupid joke about him not having the chance at any of them.
Grey didn’t care, swiping through it all before he got to sothing that made him stop.
Nexis Suits.
’That was what the frog dude called them, right?’
Grey clicked through, and the first few lines confird what he had already co to know.

[... The Nexis Suit is a sh of fibers designed to externalize one’s neural network. Ford to the specifications of its wearer, it allows active interaction with the Genesis Ga User Interface, and forms a bridge that can allow the body to grow and evolve through stat gain and various other ans of ability progression...]

It was as he speculated. Without the suit, he couldn’t even improve his stats.
He thought that the ring might change things, but after it failed to get him a weapon, he wasn’t so sure anymore.
’Let’s see, what else does it say... Blah, blah, user maintenance... blah...’
Grey was about to skip over so more stuff when he stopped and went back to the user maintenance page.
—
[... Proper maintenance of the Nexis Suit is the responsibility of the driver. Under heavy usage, the nodes will weaken and loosen, its positions shifting over ti until the Sync Rate weakens...]
—
’Sync Rate.’
Those were the two words that caught Grey’s attention, because it was the very sa pair of words on his Protheus status screen. Could it be that the "fra" he needed to build was a Nexis Suit?
Right now, his Sync Rate read "N/A". So, presumably, whatever item the ring needed to interact with to give out a reading didn’t exist yet.
’But it also says that my Energy Reserve is "N/A
