He didn't mind not knowing anything about his future family right away as he'll get to know them anyways. With everything related to his beginnings finished, he moved on to the next step, his powers and abilities.

"Okay, let's start off with the local powers like magic... I read the basic history and know that people are born with varying affinities with all attributes, could you build upon that?" Magic affinity was something he was highly familiar with as it was a common trope for the protagonist to have an extremely high affinity with a certain attribute or even all attributes in certain cliche novels.

'As you can guess, magic affinity has multiple factors to take into account when any living thing is born as all living organisms also vary in their affinity, affinities, in general, are random but become more random the more complicated the organism. This would mean that humans are the most erratic in terms of magical affinity with all affinities being compatible with humans.'

'There are still some fixed factors such as lineage and place of birth, an example would be a family where both parents have high affinity with water and fire, their child, in turn, will have a higher chance of having those two attributes be increased, thus leading to famous mage families who specialize in a single attribute or similar attributes.'

'Another example would be if someone was born near a volcano, they would have a great chance of gaining a decent affinity with fire or similar attributes. Prominent mage families would use this method to give birth to a child with an immense affinity related to their family.'

'Though I had stated all of these fixed factors, due to being the most erratic race in the world in terms of magical affinity, anything is possible, A famous ice magician could possibly be born into a famous fire mage family that had spent resources and money to give birth as close to a volcano as possible'

"I don't really like to leave my magic affinity to fate...I can use my points to change my affinity right?"

'As your magic affinity will only be known once you are born, you are only able to increase your affinity by a fixed amount rather than a percentage and it will be added on to the affinity you are given.

He nodded his head in understanding as increasing it in percentage could either be a curse or a blessing depending on the affinity he would receive. Deciding to think about it later, he asked if he could see the magic attributes available in the world.

Due to the excuse of only being allowed basic information, there was only a fraction of attributes displayed on the monitor, thankfully there was still a dozen or so which included the typical four elements and a mix of popular attributes in the world.

Looking through the list, there wasn't really anything that caught the eye as anything unique, and he didn't want to use his points to see the rest, reading through the list again, his eyes stopped at Neutral Magic, something he didn't deem as interesting as it usually wasn't in most novels he'd read.

Thinking of it again, he remembered neutral magic being one of the simplest and basic of magic, and was also the type of magic most protagonist would learn if it existed in their world as it was also used as an introduction to magic.

"Can you build upon Neutral Magic, if i'm not wrong it should be the magic that everyone is taught as a tutorial to magic right?" Though he didn't think he was too far off, it still could be different in another world in comparison to the novels he had read.

'You are correct, Neutral Magic is the basis of all magic, as Neutral Magic is the most basic of magic that involves shaping and forming raw mana, mana that has not been changed into any other attribute. For that reason, it is seen as the easiest magic to learn but the hardest to master as it is inefficient in terms of mana usage and control due to the primitive nature of Neutral Magic.'

'It is also the attribute that has the lowest number of users and skilled mages as most people in the world have a minuscule amount of affinity towards it, even those that have a decent amount of affinity compared to the rest are still lower in affinity compared to other common attributes like the four elements.'

'Even the Grand Mage of Neutral Magic in the current era has an affinity similar to a user of the four elements with their own affinity for their main attribute being somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Though that is the case, as a Grand Mage, they are able to rival other Grand Mages in terms of power despite the disparaging difference in affinity as their command on Neutral Magic which is said to be the hardest to master speaks of greatly of their skill.'

'That is not mentioning the great raw power Neutral Magic holds as it can rival the raw power that Fire Magic can exert'

If all those details pertaining to Neutral Magic did not convince him to min-max on it, then he should be cast into the fiery pits of Tartarus, but luckily it had.

"It's decided!! I'd like you to increase my affinity with Neutral Magi...wait... I know a better way to do this! Is it possible for you to transfer all my affinity for every other attribute into Neutral Magic?" He stopped himself halfway after thinking of a brilliant way to save even more of his points.

Though he knew that is still wouldn't be free, at least it would be way cheaper, he had no qualms not being able to use other attributes as he loved min-maxing and took every opportunity to min-max in games when it was viable, his motto for min-maxing was 'to cover up all weaknesses with your overwhelming strength!

'It is very much possible and only uses 0.89% of your points, upon being born into the world, your affinities will be compressed into Neutral Magic.'

"That's cheap! Do it then and lock it in before I change my mind" Satisfied with the cost, he asked for the purchase to be locked in so as to not worry about it anymore.

'Purchase locked in Candidate still has 99.11% of his points left.'

"Okay... what else... let's go with enhanced memory for... 5.11%, since magic in this world is based mostly on complicated formulas...and don't lock it in yet." Enhanced Memory was all in all an extremely useful power to have in a world of magic and technology.

'Enhanced Memory has been temporarily added, 94% of points left'

"And before I forget, can I bring my shovel along? I really want to have something to remember my previous life, that and it's really cool" Reaching out to grab his multi-tool shovel and presenting it to the monitor, lovingly caressing its head and handle.

Though he had originally bought the shovel due to its aesthetics and the novelty of it being a mult.i.tool, being a man, he still wanted to try it out in the wild and had heavily prepared himself for his first solo camping trip only a week or so after purchasing the shovel, he had bought all sorts of cool camping gear and had even researching online diligently without slacking as he was a bit of survivalist enthusiast anyways since he loved preparing for hypothetical apocalypses.

He greatly enjoyed the experience despite the pain he had to endure due to the fun he had using his shovel in the majority of his tasks, he had loved setting fire to dry kindling he had scavenged using the magnesium rod and knife attachment as the sparks were very cool looking.

From then on he had consistently gone on a camping trip every other week, sometimes even more, when he was in the mood. He had been doing it for nearly ten months now and he was an experienced camper that other professional campers would approve of due to his nature as an apocalypse enthusiast.

For those ten months, a bond had been created between him and his shovel which he had left unnamed, it was one of the only items he'd ever developed a bond, as he doesn't create a bond with his computer or smartphone as he changes them from time to time.

'There is a way to bring your shovel into the other world and also link it to yourself due to the requirement of only allowing permanent purchases, you need not worry about things such as hiding this ability from the world due to it unorthodox nature as there is something that perfectly fits in this world that is not shown in the basic information.'

"So you're saying that me having a shovel linked to me can fit in normally due to something that already exists? I'm really glad about that since I didn't want to just leave my shovel to collect dust from needing to hide it..."

'Due to already having a system in place in the other world, fulfilling your request will only cost 2.58%, would you like to increase the growth factor of your shovel? The system in place in the other world has its own growth factor and thus your weapon will not become obsolete even without using more of your points.'

"Don't worry buddy, I won't be neglecting you." He said to while petting the shovelhead. Though his ultimate goal was to reach the epitome of cuteness, there was no reason he couldn't bring his shovel along for the ride.

"I'll have 91.42% of my points left after that request right? since that's the case can you use the points until I have 75% left to increase the growth factor and to give it an extremely girly and cute paint job while still making it look cool and bada.s.s?" If he was going to have his shovel for the rest of his adventures, he might as well make it fit the part as the weapon of the future cuteness G.o.ddess.

'0.76% has been used for an exquisitely cute, girly and bada.s.s paint job that will evolve and change as your shovel does, and 15.66% has been used to increase the growth factor of your shovel and will be added on top of the growth factor from the system set in place. You have 75% of your points remaining as requested.'

Wanting to see his shovel transform in front of him, he looked at his shovel in antic.i.p.ation while holding it an arm's length away to get a good view, sadly, the being informed him that all purchases will only be applied upon arriving at the other world.

"Now on to the main course...Cuteness, here I come!!"
