The Old Baseball Player System

[DING]

[Rest mode activated]

[The user can access rest mode functions]

"Arena!" - Shun shouted inside his head.

[DING]

[Entering the Arena]

Shun felt his consciousness being transported to another place. He opened his eyes and found himself inside an empty stadium, the same stadium he had seen on the first night he received the system.

[DING]

[Select the Arena function the user wants to use]

Shun was surprised by the system's notification. He looked forward and saw three transparent screens in front of him.

[Arena Missions]

[Training Center (locked)]

[Arena Tournaments]

"Arena Missions." - Shun remembered that he would have to complete a legendary arena mission within a year, so he chose to go to the missions function first.

Shun felt his consciousness shift again. He opened his eyes and found himself in a large hall, the hall was dimly lit by torches on the walls and had nothing but four pillars in the center.

Each pillar had a colored flame on top, the flame of the left pillar was bronze, the second pillar's flame was silver, the third pillar's flame was gold, and the last pillar had a bright orange flame. Shun quickly associated the colors with the quality of the missions and went straight to the pillar representing the legendary missions, the last pillar with the bright orange flame on top.

[The user needs to complete a gold mission to access the legendary missions]

"Eh? It seems the arena missions work differently from the system's normal missions." - Shun was surprised when he tried to interact with the last pillar. He was eager to see what kind of mission he would have to do but didn't expect to have to complete a lower-level mission first.

[The user needs to complete a silver mission to access the gold missions]

[The user needs to complete a bronze mission to access the silver missions]

Shun had anticipated this situation after touching the legendary pillar but decided to touch all the pillars just to check. He then approached the first pillar with the bronze flame on top, extended his hand, and placed his palm on the pillar.

[DING]

The system's sound echoed in his head as Shun watched the bronze flame change shape. The flame transformed into four images. The first was of someone pitching, the second of someone diving to catch a ball, the third of someone batting, and the fourth of someone running.

[Please select the type of mission the user wants to accept:

-Pitcher Mission

-Fielder Mission

-Batter Mission

-Runner Mission

The user can only choose one type of mission at a time and can only choose another mission when the chosen mission is completed up to the legendary level.

The mission rewards will be related to the type of mission chosen.]

"Eh? I see, this way I can choose which type of mission I want, and the rewards will be related to the area I chose, so I can improve exactly where I want. But this...

which should I choose?" - Shun liked the arena mission system, at least in this system he could choose the type of mission he wanted to do, unlike the normal system missions where he was forced to complete a bunch of crazy things without any choice.

"Well, I would love to choose a pitcher mission, but I don't know when I'll be able to pitch in games again, so it's not a very good choice. Considering that I need to finish this mission within a year, it would be better to choose a fielder or runner mission since those are the areas I'm best at, making it easier to complete the missions.

But a year seems like a long time, I don't need to worry too much about it, I should focus on choosing the area I most need to improve in and that will help me in the games." - Shun thought a lot about which type of mission to choose. He had been with the system long enough to know that he shouldn't make hasty decisions.

"Batter Mission!" - Shun spoke decisively as he selected the bronze image of someone batting.

[DING]

[Evaluating user's skills... Evaluating user's physical condition... Evaluating user's play style... Searching for the best mission option for the user...]

[Batter Mission defined!]

Shun heard the system's voice in his head, confused. He didn't expect the system to make an evaluation to choose his mission. He then noticed that the four bronze images began to change again, all of them merging into a large flame before taking the form of the batter once more, but this time the image was much larger and stood alone at the top of the pillar.

[The user can now see the details of the bronze mission *Contact Hitter* on the bronze pillar of the arena]

Shun heard the system's voice again, excited. He quickly reached out towards the pillar again.

[Contact Hitter (Bronze)

Get 10 hits in arena games (0/10)

Rewards: 100 coins, 1 silver arena pass, and a random grade B elixir.]

"Ohhh this isn't too difficult, and the rewards are good too, don't tell me the system actually got nice?" - Shun couldn't help but think that his theory that the system had become nicer was true. He really liked this system without the old man.

Shun decided to go check out the other available arena function, the Arena Tournaments, as the boy still didn't know what the arena passes were for, and he still needed to win a game today. With a simple thought, Shun felt his consciousness shift again. He opened his eyes and saw the familiar empty stadium, he didn't waste time and looked at the three screens in front of him.

[Arena Missions]

[Training Center (locked)]

[Arena Tournaments]

"Arena Tournaments!" - Shun said without wasting any time.
