"What kind of nonsense is this!? Where did you come up with these numbers?" Alex turned to ask Lumiere. 

"What you see right now is your real luck value that got carried from the real world to this virtual world. But the system thinks your case is also a little weird." 

"It's weird, isn't it? There's no way I am this unlucky. It must be a bug to your system." Alex thought that maybe she also has 100 luck stats, and the negative sign is just a glitch of the game. 

Alex never encountered any life-threatening situations before. The only time she feels unlucky is when she is playing games. Alex never gets the items that she wanted in a short amount of time. It usually requires her a long time of grinding before she can get what she wanted.

"It isn't a bug... the thing that is odd with your case is that normally people with negative stats like yours don't leave this long enough. People with negative 20 luck can have an average lifespan of 40 years, negative 50 can have an average of 20 years in their lifespan, while people with more than negative 70 die at ten years. I don't know how you were able to live up until this day, but humans with negative 100 luck die before they can even be born along with their parents." 

"That is some serious stuff right there." Ezekiel never expected that Alex having negative luck is a very serious matter. "Anyway, if you never had problems with having bad luck, I don't think you need to worry too much about it." 

"Your friend is right. Even though the system has somehow given luck a value, the data to fully understand how luck works is still at 10% completed." 

"But looking at the negative is very disturbing for me," Alex complained. Who would even like to look at their character status with negative luck?

"You don't need to worry about it. If you are lucky... there are certain magical items that can increase your luck by a significant amount."

"Ok..." Lumiere can now even throw a joke at her. "I'll try to find those items if I got the chance to." How the heck can she even find those certain magical items. she is not LUCKY at all!!! 

"Can I continue with the last part?" Lumiere asked.

"Yes..." 

"Then lastly will be the starting skills. Weapons will get two starting skills, one passive skill and one active. Passive skills increase your weapon effectiveness as the skill level-ups. Then there is the active skill. There are a lot of active skills you can encounter in the game. Such offensive skills, defensive skills, support skills, and a lot more you can discover in the game."

"Then that is for all you need to know about your weapons. Have you decided on what weapon you'll use?"

After Lumiere finished explaining, Alex looked at the list in front of her, contemplating on what weapon she should choose. Yet the longer she stares at the long list, the impulse of wanting to try everything she sees is getting out of control. 

Noticing that two minutes have already passed, Ezekiel can't help but get impatient. "Hey, how long will it take for you to pick one weapon? Just pick the katana already, or else we might stay here the whole day." Ezekiel gave Alex his long, loud, and unhappy complaint.

"But I want to try this, try that, try those, try everything!!! You are not even helping me out here. Stop complaining and help me think." Alex howled.

"How about guns? You love guns, right?" Ezekiel can't help but worry. Other players may already have created a huge gap with them if they stayed here longer. 

"I think long-range weapons are too reliant on the front lines in this game. I don't like staying too much on the backline. The view and actions on the frontline are the best."

"Ahhh!! I don't know anymore..." Ezekiel screeched in frustration.

Ezekiel tried to give recommendations one after the other, but Alex just kept on making excuses. And they kept on doing this for another couple of minutes with Alex not backing down at all. "If I have known that it will take us a long time just for you to finish, I should have left just like Samantha and uncle."

"Fine, leave!! I don't need you here to pick my weapon anyway." Alex frowned and pouted in displeasure. 

"Hayst... How about asking for recommendations from your A.I. after all, they recommended your race." Ezekiel said softly, feeling guilty for saying something awful.

"I'll try..." Alex can't really blame Ezekiel on this one, because she is also mentally exhausted.

Alex then turned to Lumiere and asked. "Lumiere, do you have any recommendations on what weapon I should choose?" Alex thinks that they are now out of options.

"Yes."

"This recommendation is hidden to almost all players that the system deemed unworthy. Only one player was able to bring out the full potential of this weapon. Because of the restrictions imposed, that will greatly limit the user's strength on the early stages." 

Lumiere's introduction with its recommendation has piqued Alex's interest. "What is it?" After Alex asked, the floating weapon status appeared in front of her. 

[Weapon: Weaponless]

*Weapon Variation: None

*Rank Limit: None

*Weapon Stats: +2 Strength, +2 Agility, +2 Stamina, +2 Intellect, +2 Wisdom

*Starting Skill: None

*Restriction: 2x increased in character experience requirement for every level up, and 2x increased in weapon experience requirement for every level up.

"This is..." Alex is flabbergasted. "What kind of weapon is this weaponless!?" Alex sent Ezekiel a picture of the weapon's status window.

"The weapon that you wanted..." 

"How is this even the weapon that I wanted?? It is literally named weaponless... There's even a very strict restriction. No wonder only one person was able to bring out this thing's full potential." How can she even fight others with this? Will she use her fist while other people use their magic skills. 

"I am very sorry, but I can't divulge much information with this weapon as it involves the Alpha testing of this game. But one thing I can tell you is that you can use all the weapons you like with this one. You also don't need to upgrade this weapon giving an advantage with your terrible luck,"

"Go pick it, Alex. That's what you want, right?" Your hero class trait can balance out the restriction anyway. I think it will be perfect for you. Trust your A.I. this time."

Alex contemplated for a moment, but Ezekiel was right, the advantage outweighs the disadvantages of the restriction. But she is scared to make the same mistakes as Ezekiel.

  "Fine, I'll choose this weaponless Lumiere." 

[Weaponless will now be set as your weapon]

[Yes/No]

Alex paused for a moment before answering. "Ahhhh! Damn it, I'll trust you on this one Lumiere."

"Yesss!"

"Finally," Ezekiel's sigh of relief echoed in her background.
