War Crimes of a Dronemancer

Ice slowly sat down.

The woman places a blue book with numbers on it, in front of him. The cover read 2:34 75sp.

Ice stared at it for a second before gesturing to it. ”What am I supposed to do with this? What even is it? ” He touched the book and it suddenly disappeared and a screen appeared in the center of his vision.

Would you like to learn about the Owlette Class Corvette?

Yes. No.

He stared at the screen for a second before touching the yes with one slightly hesitant finger. Suddenly, he felt a pain in the back of his skull like a small headache. He looked at the woman as knowledge slowly filled his head. He saw the image of the same stubby winged bird shape he remembered from before.

”The system will allow you to learn skills in tiers. This is the first Tier of the skill required to pilot the Owlette Class Corvette that you are currently piloting. ” The woman droned on in the same monotonous voice that the system had.

”And… what does that mean? ” Ice asked as the pain in his head slowly subsided.

”It means you have the ability to learn skills at an unprecedented rate by aquiring these skill books from the store. ” The woman supplied.

Ice just stared at her before realizing she had said something helpful. ”Tell me more about this store! ”

The woman went on, completely ignoring him. ”You are a specialized being who can fly modified ships alone without a crew. Specifically a type D. Empire Builder. Very rare. ”

She placed a small chip on the table in front of him. It was a clear silicone like substance. When he touched it it absorbed into his skin and a counter appeared in the upper right side of his vision with a 1.

”This is an I-Chip the currency used by the system you can gain it from many actions you will take in this universe. ” The woman said as the I-chip disappeared.
