《I Get A System, But I'm Still On Earth.》 Chapter 1 Ho Lee Fuk was laying on his bed when a voice suddenly echoed inside of his head. System installed... Confused, Fuk grabbed his phone, thinking that something was installed on it. "Nothing installed...Don''t tell me.." But because he knew too much about this kind of tropes, he would say that a god was talking to him and he would be transferred to another world or reincarnated. Or he just became crazy. Suddenly a massive headache stroke his head then several floating letters appeared in front of his sight. Congratulations for being chosen as one of the candidate testers! Your action will determine whether or not Earth''s citizen have the right to use the system. And as such there are several rules that you must follow in the testing period. Good Luck! We bless you! Basic attributes reset! Ho Lee Fuk Level: 1 Class: N/a Renown: 0 Health?: 17(0.13) Mana?: 12 (0.08) Stamina?: 12 (0.12) Capacity: 7 Slot: 2 Strength: 3 Constitution: 2 Endurance: 2 Durability: 3 Agility: 2 Dexterity: 2 Reaction: 1 Precision: 1 Intelligence: 2 Wisdom: 2 Focus: 2 Resistance: 2 Presence: 1 Perception: 2 Control: 2 Willpower: 1 For more information, you can view your stats anytime by imagining ¡°Menu¡± and then selecting ¡°Attributes¡±.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Congratulations! The ¡°Novice¡± class is available to you! Congratulations! The "Fighter" class is available to you! Rubbing his eyes, the floating letter disappeared from his sight. For now, he assumed that he was too tired, as he walked to the kitchen and poured the water into a glass. "Meow~" Walnut, the cat that he secretly brought into his apartment. Rubbing her head right into Fuk''s leg, asking for a food. While wondering about the floating letter, he rubbed Walnut''s head and his other hand pouring her food. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Animal Handling Lvl 1. A floating letter appeared again, and this time Fuk sure he wasn''t dreaming. Just to make sure, he pinched his own cheek and it was hurt. Now what? Fuk thought that he would be ready if this kind of thing happening to him, but he didn''t. There were too many restrictions with the system, he just didn''t find the excitement if he should obey all of those rules. Though, one thing was wondering him. As he shifted his gaze to Walnut. "Hey, Walnut. It looks like I''ve been chosen as one of the candidates that can use ''the system''." Fuk said toward his illegal cat. He waited for about one whole minute and nothing happened. Maybe... maybe the rule didn''t apply if the said target didn''t understand us. Congratulations! Due to being the first candidate to be aware of this. You have earned +1 Perception, +1 Intelligence, +1 Wisdom. The "Exploiter" class in unlocked to you! Congratulations! The "Spellcaster" class is available to you! Fuk couldn''t help but wonder why, even though he didn''t do anything necessary. But then he realized something that was far more important. His stomach was grumbling while he watched Walnut devouring her food with gusto. Fuk stood up, as he rummaging through the drawer, he spotted an instant noodle. He took the noodle, opening its package and slowly cooking the noodle. Congratulations! You havelearned the active skill Cook Lvl 1. Tilted his head in confusion. "Even though, I''m only putting a noodle into hot water." Fuk muttered. He couldn''t help but react at the system senselessness. About 3 minutes later his noodle finished, after sitting at the chair,gulping down some noodle and thinking for a little bit. Fuk opened his menu. There were several options on the list: Attribute, Classes, Skills, Map, Friends, Guild, Inventory and Shop. As from Map until Shop was greyed out, and Fuk already knew what the Attribute was, he opened the Classes. The latter scattered and formed a new list and showed Fuk the list of class that had available to him. Along with 2 CP written on top of the list. CP Left:2 Novice: 0/5. Fighter: 0/10.(Requirement, 10 Points in physical attribute.) Spellcaster: 0/10. (Requirement, 10 Points in magical attribute.) Exploiter: 0/1 (Locked. Requirement, 99 CP spent.) It didn''t take long for Fuk to guess that CP stood for Class Point(s) or something like that. As Fuk scratching his head and finishing his noodle. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Iron Stomach Lvl 1. Along with the new notifications, the CP rose to 3. Using his gaming knowledge Fuk instantly understood that every time he learned a new skill his CP will arise. And somehow his stomach didn''t feel heavy. But, after thinking for a while, Fuk decided it would be best for him to test it on the shortest and easiest Class. As he clicked the Novice class. Congratulations! You haveearned 1 Attribute point(s) Was it because he puta point into Class? or because he put it into Novice? To fulfil his curiosity, Fuk spent one of his Class point(s) into Fighter. Congratulations! You haveearned 1 Attribute point(s) Then what will happen if I use it to raise a class into Lvl 2?Though Fuu, as he raised Novice into level 2. Congratulations! You have earned 1 Attribute point(s) It was tempting enough for Fuk to spend all of his Attribute points, but shaking his head, he chose not to, it wasn''t like he should do that right now, putting the bowl back into the sink. He cleaned himself and went to the job fair. Chapter 2 Fuk quickly stumbled upon a new discovery. Originally, he had planned to take a bus, but after missing it, He had no choice but to walk into the job fair. And much to his surprise, he found that his Stamina was reduced by one after walking for around 1 kilometre, he also learned Walking Lvl 1 and Physical Fitness Lvl 1 in the process. But, then again right at the job fair. Gritting his teeth, Fuk faced the truth. It was his second week of job hunting and he hadn''t gotten a call nor seen a decent job. He stopped in the sea of people, dropping his shoulder, unsure what he should do next. After thinking for a while, Fuk decided to take a seat, he looked for an empty chair from among all those people and learned Wide Eyed Lvl 1 when he spotted one. As he began creeping his way to the chair direction and putting his ass into the chair. Congratulations! You have learned passive skill Rest Lvl 1. Congratulations! You have learned passive skill Increase Aggro Meter Lvl 1. Increase Aggro Meter? Fuk could understand why he learned Rest, but what was the deal with the other one? Unknowingly to him, as he resting his ass down, there were several others job seekers that also wanted to rest on that chair, though after Fuk was occupying the chair, they couldn''t help themselves but to feel angry at him. Well, first thing first while Fuk was resting, he checked the yellowish stamina bar and realized that the regeneration rate was increased by 150% if he wasn''t moving or thinking. Slowly the tiredness from his body began to disappear. After his stamina full, Fuk was back on his feet and spending the rest of his day doing a job hunt. In the process, he learned Mental Resistance Lvl 1. Sometimes later, around the time Fuk was spending his time at the local bar, waiting for his friends while drinking a beer. It didn''t take long for him to learn Alcohol resistance Lvl 1 and Poison Resistance Lvl 1. With a deep long sigh, bored of waiting for his friends. Fuk decided to allocate the point he got from the system, as he was staring at the black letter, that seemingly invisible to others eyes. Fuk wondered how he should spend 8 CP he had, at first he used three points and raised Novice to 5/5. Congratulations! You have gained the Novice class! +1 to all attributes, +1 renown, +1 Health/level, +1 Mana/level, +1 Stamina/level! You have learned Novice class active skills Strike Lvl 1, Hide Lvl 1, First Aid Lvl 1, and Equipment Maintenance Lvl 1! Congratulations! The "Striker" class is available to you! Congratulations! The "Backpacker" class is available to you! Congratulations! The "High Novice" class is available to you! Fuk could only frown when he saw this, there were too many things going on at once if he didn''t get used with playing a video game, he was sure he would be overwhelmed by all of that new information. Then again, Fuk did a once through on his menus, first, he exploring the Classes, albeit it didn''t give much information, but from the requirement alone, Fuk could tell that each class was categorized by their respective attributes, and deducting that Novice was the easiest and the most balanced class. After working his brains out and realizing the bonuses Class would give after finishing them. Fuk decided to spend the rest of his CP into Fighter.The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings. CP Left: 0. High Novice: 0/15. Fighter: 6/10 Striker: 0/10 (Requirement, 10 points in survival attribute.) Spellcaster: 0/10 Backpacker: 0/10 (Requirement, 10 points in special attribute.) Exploiter: 0/1 (Locked, 11/99) Alongside this, Fuk gained 11 unspent AP. But even though Skill was really piqued his interest, it wasn''t like he could use it right in the middle of the bar, knowing there was a rule he should follow. In the end, Fuk was looked like a crazy person, pointing his finger and touching his ''imaginary'' something. But first, Fuk determined to spread the allocation of his AP, learning what each and every attribute would do. When he raised Strength, his Health and Capacity increased by 2. When he raised Agility, his Stamina increased by 2. And he knew that Agility was somehow related to speed, but he couldn''t test it right now. When he raised Intelligence, his Mana increased by 2 and his mana regen increased by 0.01. When he raised Presence, nothing happened, but he felt that the waitress sometimes glancing at him after he raised it. When he raised Constitution, his health and stamina raised by 1, alongside with their regeneration increased by 0.05. When he raised Dexterity, nothing happened. When he raised Wisdom, his Mana increased by 4. When he raised Perception, Fuk somewhat noticed others were giving him sympathetic gazes. When he raised Endurance, his Stamina increased by 3 and his regeneration increased by 0.01. When he raised Reaction, nothing changed. When he raised Focus, his Mana regeneration increased by 0.03. After spending all of those eleven points, alongside with the bonus attribute from Newbie class. Fuk realized that he could fill in the Class bar. Ho Lee Fuk Level: 1 Class: Novice (+2 to Health/Mana/Stamina) Renown: 1 Health?: 29 (0.24) +2 Mana?: 27 (0.16) +2 Stamina?: 27 (0.24) +2 Capacity: 12 Slot: 3 Strength: 5 Constitution: 4 Endurance: 4 Durability: 4 Agility: 4 Dexterity: 4 Reaction: 3 Precision: 2 Intelligence: 4 Wisdom: 4 Focus: 4 Resistance: 3 Presence: 3 Perception: 4 Control: 2 Willpower: 2 Though just right at the moment he finished allocating his points, Fuk''s phone was vibrating. [Lil Ty] [Methany] And there was no news from Junior. At the end of the day, Fuk went back to his apartment. After he made sure that nobody except Walnut watching him, Fuk began to explore the skills menu. (0/3) Novice. Strike: Concentrate a force to strike your target with a powerful attack. Damage based on Str and skill level. Cost: 5 stamina. Hide: Cover yourself with a mana and become Invisible, break if moving. Duration based on Agi and skill level/minute. Cost: 5 mana. First Aid: Focusing your energy, can only be used if the target is in a critical state. Restore based on Wis and skill level. Cost: 3 mana and 3 stamina. Equipment Maintenance: Use mana to temporarily restore equipment to its previous state. Duration based on Control and skill level/second. Cost: 5 mana. Full of curiosity, Fuk then said "Strike!" But nothing happened. Then, he realized there were three slots on top of the skill description. Amazed by the fact that he needed to put the skill into the slot bar before using it. "Strike." Said Fuk. .... Feeling silly and yet nothing happened again. Third time is the charm Fuk thought in his mind. But this time Fuk began concentrating and "Strike." then something was moved inside of Fuk''s whole body, it was weird, but it felt warm, slowly he could feel the energy moved into his arm, and as Fuk''s fist punched the pillow sofa.... his fist didn''t pierce it, but enough to make a hole on the pillow. This time as he touched the broken pillow, following the same steps and concentrating. Fuk could feel an energy flowing, but rather than his whole body, this one came from his chest and slowly it flowed to the pillow. In an instant, the pillow hole was repaired and 3 seconds later it had a hole again. But then again, tilting his head in confusion. Fuk didn''t find a way to make this skill useful. He ended his day, by making a fried rice and playing with Walnut, raising both of his Cook and Animal Handling to Lvl 2. And as he was sleeping, Fuk gained Sleep Lvl 1 and Rest Lvl 2. Chapter 3 When Fuk awoke, it was to his phone alarm. As he opened his eyes, he stretched his body and opened the menu. Wondered how he could access the dungeon, though in his mind he thought How does this work to people that live in a different time zone? In front of him, the black letters floated but unlike this morning, the map menu had been opened. As Fuk touched Map, the letter restructured itself into another option. Dungeon and Map. As Fuk Touching the Dungeon option, once again the letters scattered themselves and formed another option. You have opened the Dungeon! Which dungeon do you want to explore? List of beginner dungeon. Oz Plain: 2449 Candidates, Majority creature: Beast. Thalan Jungle: 4528 Candidates, Majority creature: Plant. Raster Desert: 520 Candidates, Majority creature: Insect. Roc Mountain: 1754 Candidates, Majority creature: Goblin. Mushkin Mansion: 87 Candidates, Majority creature: Construct. Skeletalview Graveyard: 269 Candidates, Majority creature: Undead. Dead Coast: 0 Candidates, Majority creature: Aquan. "Hm?" Fuk tilted his head as he saw the list, he knew there were several other people besides him participating in this, but he never thought there were these many people. This fact alone made him a little bit disappointed. After thinking for a few minutes, Fuk experiences in gaming was leading his direction. First, he didn''t want to go to the highly populated area, there were too many problems like kill steal and et cetera. Second, whatever a dead coast was, it was definitely a bad news. Third, he didn''t want to go to a hot place. Following this mindset, Fuk grabbed a baseball bat and chose Skeletalview Graveyard. Then the world warped, walls shifting and changing, by the time Fuk realized, he already stood in front of a graveyard. Rows of tombstones stood erect in silence to the left and right, in front and behind, like a sea of the dead. Some were crumbled with the weathering of centuries, some were smooth marble with new black writing and laid with floral tributes. And on his side, a hunched shady figure walked to him. "O~ the great candidate~ Hear my call~ There is an undead disturbing the peace on this graveyard and heed my warning, water is forbidden in this place." Tilted his head in confusion. "Ehm... what?" Replied Fuk to the hunched shady figure. And he kept repeating his line. "Erm... I accept?" As the hunched shady figure nodded and gave Fuk a key, the gate slowly opened. By the time Fuk realized it, the shady hunched figure was already gone. "O~kay... that''s weird." Carefully entering the graveyard, Fuk looked in both directions. The fence near him was extended for quite a long way on either side. Thick foliage obscured the far gravestone, readying himself. Not really seeing anyone around, Fuk started walking in a straight direction, trying to see what he could find. *** About sometime later, Fuk dashed back to the entrance, gained Running up to Lvl 3. On his back, there were several Romero type zombies, dragging their leg while chasing after him. It wasn''t like Fuk couldn''t fight against a slow zombie, he watched every zombie movies, even the b-rated one but... even though he knew their weakness was their head, by the time Fuk hit them with his baseball bat, it only made a sound like he was hitting a stone boulder. Were they actually strong? orWas Fuk too weak? At the entrance, while catching his breath, Fuk opened his menu and found the Inventory menu had been opened. Inside it, there were three options. Inventory, Equipment and Collect. Fuk checked Inventory and Equip but it didn''t give any information. "...Don''t tell me." Fuk muttered as he looking to his baseball bat. "Collect." Following the same procedure as using Skill. The baseball bat distorted and disappeared, once again Fuk checked the Inventory and found his baseball bat already inside, along with its description.If you come across this story on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. Cap: (1/12) Wooden Baseball Bat (Common): Str +1 Dex -1. Damage type: Bludgeon. Condition: 60/100. Weight: 1. "Equip." Fuk said, testing his hypothesis. His baseball bat appeared right on his right hand, and when he checked the Equipment, he found a gray human body sketch, with a baseball bat on its right arm. "I see..." Pleased with his discovery, Fuk remembered that he had 7 unspent CP, opening the class menu, he put four of it into Fighter and the other three into Striker. Congratulations! You have gained the Fighter class! +3 to all physical attributes, +4 Health/level! You have learned Fighter class active skills Horizontal Slash Lvl 1, Double Stab Lvl 1, Merciless Blow Lvl 1, and Endure Lvl 1! ..... After awkwardly waiting, it seemed there was all Fuk got from completing the Fighter class, but why? Moreover, once Fuk opened the skill menu and checked his Fighter skills. Slot (3/4) Fighter Horizontal Slash: Concentrate a force to deal a strong attack with Slash type weapon. Damage based on 5 x Skill Level + Str + Dex. Cost: 17 Stamina. Double Thrust: Repeatedly stab target with Pierce type weapon. Damage based on (Skill level+Str) x 2. Cost: 20 Stamina. Merciless Blow: Gather up power and use Bludgeon type weapon to attack targets by smashing it to the ground. Damage based on 10 x Skill level + Str. Cost: 23 Stamina. Endure: Grants immunity to being affected by knockback, knockdown and stagger for up to Skill level x 7 hit. Cost: 32 Stamina. Sighing, although these skills are far stronger than the Novice skills. Fuk could only use them once, and in his case, he could only use Merciless Blow or Endure. But, shaking his head wildly They are only a Romero zombie right?. Fuk thought as he grabbed his baseball bat, his hand opened the gate and once again he entered the graveyard. After moving some distance away, a little bit farther, and he would reach the area of the Zombies, when he moved past the grave and into the trees, he was disappointed to find nothing, but there were several other skeletons within sight that seemed weaker than the zombies. But unlike the zombies, the skeletons were equipped with a weapon, although most of them were only rusty swords or sickles. Moving very carefully while peering around, Fuk found one skeleton that was separated from the rest of his group. Now his eyes had been dragged there. Letting his instinct guided him and learned Sneak Lvl 1. Fuk managed to sneak behind the back of Skeleton A. As Fuk raised his arm, his eyes flickered when he swung the baseball bat. Hitting right at the skeleton head, making it flew a couple dozen meters away. Surprised, Fuk''s jaw dropped down as he watched his home run. "...Maybe... I should apply in baseball league." Congratulations! You have learned a passive skill Nimble Brawn Lvl 1. "...What kind of skill is that." But still, amazed by his own capabilities, Fuk forgot that his enemy was a skeleton. As he non chalantly turning his back and leaving Skeleton A. The headless skeleton was moving at him, but even though Skeleton A could locate Fuk location, he couldn''t locate a rock near his foot, stumbled by that single rock, the rest of Skeleton A body scattered when he fell to the ground. Surprised, Fuk turned his gaze and only tilted his head in confusion. "...? what happened?" 20 minutes later, after Fuk crushed 3 more skeletons, he just realized that the skeleton was still moving even after their head were destroyed. Three hours later, Fuk decided to end his rampage. The number of skeletons that he killed was 54, though three of them were falling by themselves and the other two were crashing at each other. Ended his first experience in a dungeon, Fuk managed to gain. Sneak Lvl 4. Running Lvl 3. Athletic Lvl 2. Bludgeon Weapon Mastery Lvl 3. Natural Combat Mastery Lvl 2. Nimble Brawn Lvl 3 Darkvision Lvl 2. Sleep Resistance Lvl 1. Physical Fitness Lvl 1 had increased to Lvl 3. Walking Lvl 1 had increased to Lvl 3. Increase Aggro Meter Lvl 1 had increased to Lvl 2. Merciless Blow Lvl 1 had increased to Lvl 2. Strike Lvl 1 had increased to Lvl 3. Hide Lvl 1 had increased to Lvl 2. All in all, he had earned 28 CP, which might have been more than enough for a first timer. At the end of the day, too sleepy to think how he should allocate his CP, Fuk went back to the entrance and teleported back to his apartment, sleeping soundly through the rest of the night. Chapter 4 More notifications waited for Fuk once he woke up. Congratulations! Sleeping is now Lvl 2. Congratulations! Rest is now Lvl 3. Congratulations! Rest is now Lvl 4. Congratulations! Rest is now Lvl 5. Congratulations! You have learned the active skill "Bivouac" Lvl 1. "...Isn''t this a little bit too easy?" Fuk spoke by himself. And much to his surprise, he didn''t feel tired even though he spent the rest of his night working his body out. Well anyway, there was still a lot to do. First Fuk took a box of cat food and feeding Walnut, cleaning his litter box and changing his water. Next, he made a breakfast for himself, he didn''t have that much stock left, the best he could make was a toasted bread and a coffee. After that, he recorded the expenditure he had done and then with 33 Cp in total, he allocated all of that. Leaving 6 Cp as the backup point. Congratulations! You have gained the Striker class! +3 to all survival attributes, +4 Stamina/Level. You have learned Striker class active skills Swift Step Lvl 1, Heavy Shot Lvl 1, Steal Lvl 1 and Envenom Lvl 1! Congratulations! You have gained the Spellcaster class! +3 to all magical attributes, +4 Mana/Level. You have learned Spellcaster class active skills Energy Bolt Lvl 1, Heal Lvl 1, Barrier Lvl 1 and Mystic Stun Lvl 1! Congratulations! You have gained the Backpacker class! +3 to all special attributes, +4 Capacity/Level. You have learned Backpacker class active skills Item Identification Lvl 1, Item Refining Lvl 1, Cultivate Lvl 1 and Unlock Lvl 1! Congratulations! You have gained all of the five basic classes! The "Jack" class is available to You! "...Okay... there are too many things going on at once, I guess I should''ve spent the Cp whenever I have the time." Fuk somehow felt that his body right now was nothing more than an upgradable machine, though... just how strong he was to an average normal human right now? For example, Fuk knew that raising perception really made his vision, hearing or other senses and his overall awareness better, but how much? And what about the other attributes? even after all of those numbers added to him, he didn''t feel that many significant changes, at least for now. But for now, it was better for him to finish his breakfast and searched for a job. As Fuk drinking his caffeine, he stared at his Attributes, wondering how he should allocate his Ap. Ah, right... I still don''t know about the rest. Continuing where he left out, raising control didn''t make any apparent changes, whether in numbers or how he felt. Raising durability would raise his Health by 4 and the regen by 0.01. Raising precision and resistance didn''t do anything for him. On the other hand, somehow raising willpower increased his Capacity by 1. At the end of the morning, with 22 Attribute points left Fuk Closed the menu and once again Fuk went from his apartment, searching for a job. *** Of course, life wasn''t as easy as raising attributes. Fuk was graduated from the college as a restaurant and culinary arts management major and was starting to get a little bit of interview burnt out looking for a job. He''d been through a handful of interviews and sent out over 300 applications, thinking to himself that he should be famous now, he should be able to walk into a company and people over there would be the one asking for him to stay. Anyway, today he had an interview in a hotel restaurant, but... "Okay, that''s enough. We''re done here." And the interview was over. That was the fastest interview he''d ever been in, it was around 10-15 minutes. The manager just didn''t want to see Fuk there. Congratulations! Mental resistance is now Lvl 2.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. "ARE YOU MOCKING ME GODDAMNIT?!" Losing his patience, Fuk shouted right in the middle of the public park. Right when he was interviewed, he also learned Poker Face Lvl 1 and Bargaining Lvl 1. The second shouted he could feel people began to watch and whispering about him. Congratulations! You have learned Intimidation Lvl 1! But then again, knowing that his presence was somehow intimidating the others, Fuk decided to walk out of the park. On his way home, he thought about applying for janitorial position or cage cleaners. Maybe I should go back to my hometown and work in father shop. "Grah! Whatever! I need to do that tonight!!" Later at 01:01 Am. As Fuk sleep resistance increased to Lvl 2. He took a walk, bringing Walnut with him to an empty building. And as he put her down then stretching his body. Fuk''s eyes flickered toward the wall, slowly he ran and as his momentum became faster and faster, he ran at the wall but. "Wha?!" Congratulations! You have learned a passive skill Falling Resistance Lvl 1! Dropping down on his ass, forgot about climbing it, Fuk''s hand wasn''t able to reach the wall edge. Fuk was 1000% sure the wall didn''t change, he had been using the same wall as his momentum for the last four years. "Why?!" He muttered. And then he remembered something. Basic attributes reset! Now that Fuk thought about it more carefully, it really wasn''t normal for him to only have Lvl 1 in walking, actually forgot about walking, it was like everything that he did was nothing more than his first experience. But then again, what was the basic stats he should have to climb the wall? Realizing that it was Agility, then as Fuk raising his Agility while experimenting with wall climbing, at 12 Agility he did manage to reach the edge but his arm wasn''t strong enough to pull his body. Congratulations! The "Rogue" class is available to you! "Why though? I thought I became stronger than the usual." Fuk muttered as he remembered how far he could hit the skeletons head, but... then again even after he killed that many skeletons, he didn''t reach a Lvl 2. Is that mean that they are very very weak?! Then again when Fuk raising his Strength to 10, he managed to pull his body, but it still felt heavy. As he raised his Strength into 12. Congratulations! The "Swordsman" class is available to you! Once again, Fuk climbed the wall and this time he managed to do it without any trouble. Congratulations! You have learned a passive skill Climbing Lvl 1! But, his shoulders somewhat felt a little bit hurt, though this was a tricky one. Fuk knew the answer was laying between Constitution, Endurance or Durability the question was which one? Endurance seemed like nothing more than a stamina, so between Constitution or Durability? Through a blind guess, Fuk raised his Durability to 12. Congratulations! The "Knight" class is available to you! ...Maybe it was safe to assume that this meant for the normal human to become as strong as a Knight they needed to have 12 Durability? but Fuk shook his head, that wasn''t important right now. He ran and his shoulder still hurt. Frowning, then Fuk raised his Constitution to 12. Congratulations! The "Warrior" class is available to you! As Fuk climbing the 3-meter wall, he managed to climb over it with a little bit of effort. "I see..." he muttered. Soon after, Fuk laughed out loud, he understood the basic minimum he should have, at least like the way he should have become. This time though, he spent the rest of his Ap with a guideline on his mind. "Then how about I do it like this." 5 Minutes later as Fuk completing his allocation. The 6 Cp left and 3 Cp he gained this morning, he allocated all of them to High novice class, rewarding him with 31 Unspent Ap. Fuk was going for crazier stunts, standing at the roof, Fuk jumped from one roof to the another and as his stunts became crazier, from the warehouse district he leapt his way out to the downtown and it was more attention-grabbing than the usual, but it also meant Fuk couldn''t take any unnecessary chances up here, one wrong move and he was a goner. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Jumping Lvl 1! Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Free Runner Lvl 1! Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Nimble Leaper Lvl1! Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Fast Movement Lvl1! Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Strong Arm Lvl 1! Congratulations! Sleep Resistance is now Lvl 2. Congratulations! Running is now Lvl 4. His blood rate and heart pressure were running high, he could feel the adrenaline rushing in his body, he just... never felt this free and happy before. "....Crap!! I forget about Walnut!" He shouted as his shadow haunted the roof. As he went back and grabbed Walnut, Fuk went to his apartment, feeling content. Ho Lee Fuk Level: 1 Class: Striker (+1 Str, +1 Agi, + 2 Dex.)

Rest is now level 6. When Fuk opened his eyes, there was only one notification coming at him. Rubbing his eyes, still half dazed, he couldn''t figure what was the condition for skill levelling or their maximum Lvl. Eventually, Fuk decided it would be better to forget about this and just diligently ground his skills. Then before he was able to gather his thought, Fuk noticed something was moving under his blanket, it was Walnut. Rubbing her head on Fuk''s chest, asking to get her breakfast out. As Fuk patting her head and preparing her food. He didn''t feel tired nor drowsy, even though he hadn''t had a decent sleep for the last two days and ran like a maniac last night. Though he didn''t feel doing anything today, he already sent more than 300 job applications and there only one that called him back. "Right, I never try Cook or Bivouac, in fact, there are a lot of skills that I never try." But one thing that piqued his interest was those two, both of Cook and Bivouac wasn''t listed in the skill menu, then Fuk began concentrating, allowing something to flow outside of his body. "Cook." Three square screens appeared right in front of his face, but how could he use that? At first, Fuk touching and opening the screen but nothing happened. Then Fuk though he needed to put something into the screen, and as such, he grabbed a slice of bread and a bottle of jam. Grabbing them, Fuk moved his hands into the screens but it only pierced through. "Ah, just maybe..." This time he used Collect on both of the bread and the jam, as they disappeared Fuk used Cook and like his guess, both of the ingredients were listed as an option. With face full of curiosity Fuk put the two ingredients and another screen showed up, though this time the screen was telling Fuk the way he wanted to process his food, there were three available options: toasted, steamed or fried. Choosing the most standard version, toasted; another notification showed up. Cooking toasted bread with strawberry jam, difficulty: 0 success rate: 120%. ..... Successful! Congratulations! You have gained Toasted Bread. But Fuk tilted his head, there was no such thing as a toasted bread at the front of his eyes but remembered about Inventory, Fuk opened it and found a toasted bread inside of it. "Equip, Toasted Bread." A plated appeared along with a slice of toasted bread covered with strawberry jam. "Thi..this...I can use this to save electricity and gas bill." Fuk shivered as he found something that he actually could use on his daily life. Not only that, once Fuk finishing his bread the plate was also disappeared. "...Is this mean no more dishwashing?!" but still, happy or not, he could only use three ingredients to cook his meal. And after using Cook for more than ten times, the level didn''t raise.This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it Wondering what was going on, Fuk recalling the information about Cook. "Ah... it raised to Lvl 2 when I cooked fried rice yesterday." After giving some thought, Fuk figured that unlike an active Class skill, the only way to raise normal active skill was do an activity related to the skill. In this case, Cook Lvl 2 could only be raised if Fuk did an actual cooking. So, being determined of some sort, Fuk continued to delve deeper into the normal active skill, this time he used Bivouac but unlike Cook, this time Fuk only had two options, Tent or Hammock. Choosing Tent would create a 3m2 tent. And choosing Hammock needed him to connect between two straight line, not farther than 6 meters away. But at the same time, Fuk wondered about their related attribute. Unlike a Class skill, the skill he learned after doing some related activity didn''t have a description and therefore he couldn''t learn about their function or their value. Then again, normal active skills could be used anytime, without Fuk switching into the menu and putting them into his skill slot, moreover, they didn''t cost a single Mana or Stamina. "But now what?" Fuk muttered as he had no clue of what he should do today. In the end, he cleaned his apartment and creating some open space. Instantly earning him with active skill Cleaning Lvl 3, another useful skill that he could use to instantly clean his body or dirty objects. With a big open space inside of his apartment, Fuk began to test all of his Class active skills. First was Swift Step, as Fuk began concentrating he felt something fresh from his stomach, slowly moving to his leg, it instantly let him moved Skill level x 1 meter away to any direction. Cost: 7 Stamina. Heavy shot could only be used with a ranged attack, in this case, Fuk shot a coin, it didn''t have any damage but it was enough to push his 100-kilogram sofa one meter away or 10 meters for 10-kilogram object, its related attribute was Dex. Cost: 13 Stamina. Steal couldn''t be used, but the description said it would let Fuk to instantly put a remote object into his inventory or used it on a monster to steal an item. Range: Dex x meter, Chance: 10% +5%/ Skill level - Target Reaction. Cost: 10 Stamina. Envenom letting him coat slashing/piercing type weapon with poison. Coating duration: 1 minute per skill level. Poison Damage: Dex for three seconds, Poison Duration: Presence x second. Chance: 25% + 5%/ Skill level - Target Constitution%. Cost: 5 Mana and 5 Stamina. Then Fuk moved to spellcaster skills, he began concentrating and as he felt something foreign was flowing into his chest, he pointed his finger and shot a blue condensed energy toward his wall, enough to make a small crack at it, "Crap.." Fuk muttered, and alongside this Fuk had a vague guess about what 13 Damage could do to a stone wall. Energy bolt just straight 5 + Int + Skill level. Cost: 5 mana. No one was hurt, but Heal description was exactly what he thought about: Healing a living creature. Amount: Wis + 2 times skill level. level. Cost: 10 + 3/Skill level Mana. Barrier allowing him to create an invisible thin shield made from Mana, Effective only against physical attack. Block: 20 + 5 times skill level. Cost: 25 Mana. Mystic stun allowing him to stun his target for one second, Chance: 50% + 1%/ Skill level + Presence% - Target willpower%. Cost: 18 Mana. Lastly, Fuk moved to backpacker skill, this time everytime he used his skills, Fuk felt something was flowing in and out from his head. Item identification was letting Fuk identify an unknown item. Item level must be lower than Perception + Skill level. Cost: Nothing. Item refining could increase the purity of an item, Fuk tried it on an almost rotten food, and much to his surprise the smell and colour on the food became slightly better. Though skill description said: Increase the purity of an item. Presence + Skill level. Cost: 5 Mana. Cultivation description said he could use Seed to cultivate a plant inside magical space. Space radius: 100m2 per Level. Unlock was a simple Skill to unlock something lower than the skill level. Cost: 8 Stamina 8 Mana. Fuk spent the rest of his day grinding his skill. By the time the sun set, he gained: Hide had increased to Lvl 3. Endure had increased to Lvl 2. Rest had increased to Lvl 7. Swift Step had increased to Lvl 2. Barrier had increased to Lvl 2. Animal Handling had increased to Lvl 3. Bivouac had increased to Lvl 2. Cook had increased to Lvl 3. Item Identification had increased to Lvl 4. Item purification had increased to Lvl 3. Heavy shot had increased to Lvl 2. Cleaning had increased to Lvl 4. Envenom had increased to Lvl 3. Unlock had increased to Lvl 2. ---- Cp Left: 29. Chapter 6 There was no skin on its head, no flesh, no hair, no eyelids. But no matter what, it faithfully protected the skeletonview graveyard, as it moved its brittle legs, its finger timidly grabbed a sickle and resolving itself, it charged toward a human male, as he maniacally hittings its friends with his baseball bat. Though, as Fuk eyes flickered, he raised his arms and swung his bat, doing another home run with the skeleton head. But... more disturbingly even after the skeleton head was gone it was still raising his fist, trying at its best to do 1 damage to Fuk. If only each of those skeletons could do 1 damage at him, they could kill Fuk after they did a suicide attack 74 times. In reality, Fuk actually felt bad about these skeletons, even if they manage to get a hit on him they only break their own arm and sometimes they break their whole bones. That was the case with this skeleton as its fist touching Fuk''s body, the impact when it happened was enough to make it lose its whole arm, and Fuk single-handedly swung his bat at its fully visible ribcage, destroyed the rest of its brittle body. Sighing, Fuk took a note on his phone and recorded the number of skeletons he had kill today. It was 74 skeletons and yet he didn''t get a single level. "...Am I bugged?!" Stretching his body, Fuk walked pass the skeleton and crushed the rest of their bones as he went back to the entrance. But unfortunately or fortunately, he found a horde of slow zombies. Was to actually engage at them, Fuk remembered one thing. "...Wait, zombies can do one bite kill right?" After careful consideration, Fuk found himself sneaking back towards the zombie horde, raising his sneak to Lvl 5 in the process. There were two reasons for his action. One was his baseball bat only had 1 durability left and the other¡­ Was to actually lure one of those zombies, there was no reason nor urgency for him to do this. He just wanted to actually smash a zombie, like a tv show he used to watch recently. The more Fuk thought about it, the bigger a grin on his face, moreover, this was a good chance to test whether or not he was bugged. Additionally, Fuk had enough knowledge that zombie wasn''t scary as long they didn''t move in a horde. Outside of it, they were nothing more than a meat bag, especially for this type of zombie, they were slow enough that even a Fuk without all of his attributes could outrun them. He was now confident that his 16 Agility would be more than enough to outrun them, just in case something happened. Though, the fact that he now had athletic and natural combat mastery Lvl 3, fast movement and strong arm Lvl 2, bludgeon weapon mastery and nimble brawn Lvl 4 was enough to make him felt safe. As Fuk approached, he noticed something he didn''t previously, that surrounding the horde the graves became elaborate and there were many kinds of weapon plugged on top of the graves. Also one of the graves had a door rather than a burial ground. Feeling slightly curious, Fuk kept looking at the door while trying to find the best path to sneak and lure a zombie. But out of nowhere Something blur was entering the edge of his vision. If Fuk didn''t have wide eye Lvl 1 and 7 points in perception, it probably would be hitting him. But as soon as he noticed the projectile, with 10 points reaction, Fuk managed to swing his bat.Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. Fuk bat smashed against the apple sized stone, stopping it for a brief moment and then completely deflecting it but as a result, his bat disappeared into nothingness. Fuk concentrated his vision but he couldn''t see anyone else. Still, knowing the direction from the stone was enough for Fuk, as he pointed his finger and a blue ball of energy flew, it only hit at the corner of the grave, slightly deviated from his original target but it was enough to chip some part of the grave. As a result, a blurry shadow leapt out from the back of the grave while throwing another apple sized stone at him. Knowing that the projectile was a stone, Fuk conjured a barrier. It smashed against Fuk''s barrier, completely deflecting it. Unknowingly to Fuk, while he was concentrating at the blurry figure, the zombie horde already moving at them; attracted by the noise they created. As Fuk watching the blurry figure ran away while wondering what was going on, he turned his back and muttered. "...Crap." He knew he could outrun the zombie, but that wasn''t the case if he was surrounded. With no weapon or enough resource to fight against the zombie horde, Fuk used the remaining of his resource at Energy bolt and Strike to make an escape path; fleeing back to the entrance. On the entrance, as Fuk querying what happened back then, he opened the menu and could do nothing except frowning, First, his barrier only had 2 Health left, and that meant whoever that was had enough firepower to throw a stone that could do 28 damage. 2nd by the time his energy bolt hit the zombie''s head, it was enough to one shot it. But that wasn''t the case when one of his energy bolt hit another zombie''s body and it still stood. Last, when Fuk killed a zombie, unlike the skeleton its body disappeared. Vaguely, Fuk could see something was dropped on the ground but he just didn''t see it clearly enough. By the way, as a result for this weird incident, both of Fuk Barrier and Energy Bolt reached Lvl 3. Scratching his head, Fuk wondering maybe it was a good idea for him to spent some of his Ap into perception and precision. With 39 Cp, Fuk used 6 of it to finish the high novice class. Congratulations! You have gained the High Novice Class! +1 Renown, +2 to all Attributes, +2 to Health/Mana/Stamina per level! You have learned High Novice Class active skills Novice Strike Lvl 1 and Novice Art Lvl 1! You have learned High Novice Class passive skill Skill Growth Lvl 1! Congratulations! You have received a reward! Choose either: Shortsword and a chainmail, Shortbow and a leather vest or Quarterstaff and a cotton robe. Congratulations! The "Scout" Class is available to you! Congratulations! The "Miner" Class is available to you! Congratulations! The "Super Novice" Class is available to you! Fuk frowned, even though he liked playing RPG and making a character but with this system, whenever he allocated the point the notification always came in bulk, never letting him to learn them one by one. After spending some time thinking about his reward, he clearly didn''t know how to use a bow, as for sword he might know how to swing it, but if he must choose between a sword or a staff, he was more adept with using a staff. Checking his Inventory, both of his rewards were prepared, but .... when he thought about quarterstaff he thought about a long staff in martial arts, but the one he saw on his inventory was a short staff... that seemed to be cut in a quarter, moreover withrobe as its complementary equipment, Fuk should have realized the obvious composition. In the end, he could only facepalming himself for making a big blunder. Then after recovering from that,Fuk wondered which Class he should take next, while Knight and Warrior seemed strong, somehow Jack really piqued his interest. Without thinking too much, Fuk spent 25 Cp in Jack. Congratulations! You have gained Jack class! +1 Slot, +1 to all attributes per level! You have learned Jack class active skill Jack Style Lvl 1! "Wha..? Is that all?" Then again, the night was already late. As Fuk teleported back to his apartment, he chose not to spend his Ap and let his brain resting for a little while. Ap Left: 31. Cp Left: 8 Super Novice 0/45 (Requirement, High Novice gained.) Swordsman 0/30, Knight 0/30, Warrior 0/30 Rogue 0/30, Scout 0/30 (Requirement, 12 Points spend in reaction.) Miner 0/30 (Requirement, 12 Points spend in control.) Exploiter 0/1 (76/99) Chapter 7 Congratulations! Sleeping is now Lvl 4! ...Apparently, this had become an ordinary morning activity for Fuk. When Fuk awoke, he realized that he honestly had no idea how long he was asleep and awake for, as he checked his phone, it still 05:03 am. Fuk''s eyes became wide open, he couldn''t believe that he had only slept for around two hours and yet he didn''t feel tired nor sleepy. Although this was a good sign, Fuk only shrugged his shoulder, as he somewhat worried that he couldn''t have ''the pleasure of waking tired and went to sleep for another five minutes'' again. The morning proceeded a little bit different today, as he did his usual activity, making a breakfast, feeding and playing with Walnut but... rather than busy preparing his clothes or grinding his skills, Fuk was looking at the sunny morning and talked to his cat. "Hey, want to take a little walk?" Sneakily moving through the hall while bringing Walnut was a big risk, one wrong move and he could''ve got kicked out from his apartment.... or he just needed to pay an extra charge in which he didn''t want to do that. With sneak Lvl 5 and fast movement Lvl 2, it was an easy task for him to pass the building owner, putting Walnut inside of his jacket and taking his bike out. They rode to the nearest park and in the process, Fuk learned a new skill Riding Lvl 1 and his animal handling raised to Lvl 4. Once they reached the park, while others were bringing their dog either for a little walk or playing frisbee. A young man with black top knot hair was sitting on a bench, calmly patting his cat while enjoying the morning sun and once in a while stopping his patting to scribble something on his note. Congratulations! you have learned a passive skill Calculation Lvl 1! "...Get real." Fuk protested at the weird system, but much to his surprise right now he could do his calculation much faster than he used to, not only that with a single glance he somehow knew the number of peoples standing in front of his eyesight. Sighing when he looked at his expenditure, Fuk decided to do that for another day and started to distribute his Cp and Ap. After thinking for some time like around 10 minutes or less, Fuk decided that he wanted to raise his attributes at minimum 12, alongside with the bonus from Jack the limit of his minimum attributes were 13. As for Cp, he distributed all of it into Super Novice, first, the bonuses from Novice and High Novice were definitely better than the other Class, although as a drawback their skills weren''t as good as the other Class. Alongside with his stats distribution, many notifications came at him, all of them were about classes he learned. Ho Lee Fuk Level: 1 Class: High Novice (+6 to health/mana/stamina.) Renown: 2 Health?: 106 (0.91) +6 Mana?: 85 (0.55) +6 Stamina?: 109 (0.88) +6 Capacity: 47 Slot: 16 Strength: 15 Constitution: 15 Endurance: 13 Durability: 16 Agility: 21 Dexterity: 13 Reaction: 16 Precision: 14 Intelligence: 13 Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.Wisdom: 13 Focus: 14 Resistance: 13 Presence: 13 Perception: 16 Control: 13 Willpower: 13 Congratulations!

The "Farmer" Class is available to you! In very general term, Fuk believed that he attributes were above average right now. And all of sudden his phone ringing, it was from Lil Ty, telling him about some party he wanted to go tonight, hearing this it didn''t take long for Fuk to said yes. When he heard word ''party'' the first thing that he thought was free pizza and free drinks. For an unemployed one like him, that was a good time for him to fill his belly with a decent food. Then again the party was at night, without nothing else to do for the rest of the day, Fuk decided to do some jogging and raising his Physical Fitness to Lvl 4, Fast Movement to Lvl 3 and Running to Lvl 5. ---- When Fuk went back to his apartment, his Stealth increased to Lvl 6 as he successfully sneaked from the front door. And for the first time, Fuk went to a dungeon at 12:00 o''clock. The one he picked was skeletonview Graveyard, the door somehow really piqued interest, wondering what was its function. As the world shifted and Walnut watching him gone, Fuk teleported to the graveyard. Once he arrived, he could only be scratching his head, it seemed the time on a dungeon always constant, as the darkness still enveloping his surrounding. Equipping the of quarterstaff and the cotton robe, Fuk''s attributes were increased, following his equipment description. Quarterstaff ?: A shat of boxwood made from a magical tree, cut into four-part for mass production. +3 Int +1 Focus. Cotton Robe ?: A robe made from the thread spun by a magical insect, which is then later woven into cotton. +5% resistance to magical damage. +2 Wis, +1 Res. Sighing while feeling betrayed as he equipping the staff, he ventured back to the zombie horde, but this time with a decent weapon and increased stats. Without doing any stealth, as a starter Fuk shot 2 Energy Bolt at two front-line zombies, completely obliterated their head, He continued to use Energy Bolt as the rest of the horde slowly walking at him. By the time they reached in melee combat, Fuk already killed 8 zombies, then he continued by swinging his Quarterstaff that clearly wasn''t created for a close combat, without using any Skill, Fuk swung his staff and managed to kill the rest of the zombie, In the process he learned a new skill Pole Weapon Mastery Lvl 1 and Staff Weapon Mastery Lvl 1 and raised his Energy Bolt to Lvl 4. Then from among them, two zombies dropped something, one was a red liquid in a glass bottle and the other was a small black box that sometimes twitching by itself. Lesser Health Potion Lvl 1: Will restore 10 health over 5 seconds. Unidentified object. "...Unidentified huh? Then..." Using Item Identification, soon the box changed its shape and alongside with this phenomena, the description was updated. Ring of Regeneration (Uncommon): Increase Health regeneration by 2/second. "Hoo... this is new." Fuk muttered. During his free time in the apartment, he just kept repeatedly using Item Identification to identify mysterious food he had inside of his fridge, but seemed like it could be used at the real unidentified object and turn them into their real form. Though Fuk shaking his head, turning his gazes and found there were no more zombies or other people. Once he felt safe, Fuk nonchalantly walking toward the grave with a door, and slowly he covered his hand to the knob at opening the door. You have entered a safe zone! + 200% Regeneration. Congratulations! You have unlocked skeletonview graveyard safe zone number two! Now you can start your journey from this safe zone. Congratulations! Your Map has been updated! Fuk found himself in a rather large room with a stone basin and a wooden chair and table. Everything was made from a stone and at the wall, there were many candles lighting the room, though the candles apparently couldn''t melt. "...Oh... this isn''t a treasure room." Fuk muttered, as he weakly moved his feet into the chair, feeling disappointed. Chapter 8 Back at the graveyard. no zombie, no another human, in fact, an entire area was silent. But amongst this silences, a young man sat, sighing as he watched a sword with a slender blade, the handle was wrapped in a leather and the hilt had many colourful gems on his hand. Even though he already spent some time pulling the sword away, pressing it back and forth, carefully grinding the sword out of the grave and after a long process, with a popping sound, the sword came free. At the first few seconds, Fuk was gazing at it, admiring its beauty and the colourful gems, but... no matter what, he couldn''t use Collect to put the sword into his Inventory. Watching his watch, Fuk frowned when he realized that he spent 20 minutes doing an action that resulted in vain. But then... Even though he was sure that the area was empty, a sudden horde of zombies appeared from out of nowhere and surrounded him, no less than 60 zombies. "...Huh?!" Surprised, he equipped his staff, as he wanted to shot some Energy Bolt he muttered. "Oh... I haven''t tried that yet." Jack Style: Allowing you to change your fighting style. Duration: 2 minutes. Cost: 20 Health/Mana/Stamina per level. Choose from: Attacker Style: +15% Stamina, +2 Str, +2 Agi, +2 End, +2 Reaction. Shooter Style: +5% to Health/Mana/Stamina, +2 Dex, +2 Precision, +2 Perception, +2 Control. Magic Style: +15% Mana, +2 Int, +2 Wis, +2 Foc, +2 Presence. Defender Style: +15% Health, +2 Dur, +2 Con, +2 Res, +2 Willpower. Even though the cost was great, it gave a very big advantage with its flexibility, and this time Fuk chose the Shooter Style, knowing that he could one shot the zombies as long as he hit them right at their heads. With a range less than 10 meters, the zombies were nothing than a walking meat bag. Pointing his staff, at ease the blue energy balls flew andcrushed their heads, but soon enough he already used all of his Mana; leaving him with no other choice but to do melee combat. As soon as the zombie entered his melee range, spinning the quarterstaff, Fuk used it to hit on their neck or eye socket, but even though he had 15 strength, he needed to hit them for around 3-4 time before they disappeared, or 2 hit with Strike. While he was hitting the zombie''s head, he had a complicated feeling for knowing that the staff martial art technique that his father forced him to learn could actually be useful, even though he always protested when they were training.Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation. Then, somehow inside of his mind, Fuk could hear his father shouted. Your stance is wrong! Don''t open your leg too wide! The way you spin the staff is wrong! If it''s me, I will precisely hit their eye socket! Concentrate on your enemy! But unknowingly to him, he failed to kill one zombie. As Fuk''s mind wandering around, he kept moving back to the door while hitting the zombie, and from his back with its neck weirdly titled to the right, a zombie sneaked in and grappling his body. "GRaWr!" Shouted the zombie as its trying to take a bite at Fuk''s right shoulder, but... its neck was broken, as a result, the zombie couldn''t move his mouth toward Fuk''s body. "....What are you even doing?" Said Fuk in a confused tone, before he downward shifted his staff and pushed it backwards with his right hand, hitting the zombie as a result. ....Though, seemed like his father (imaginary) was right. Starting collecting his thought, Fuk managed to kill the rest of those zombies, at the cost he almost emptied his Stamina. And resulting with Energy Bolt Lvl 5, Strike Lvl 4, Merciless Blow Lvl 3, Swift Step Lvl 3, Pole Weapon Mastery Lvl 2, Staff Weapon Mastery Lvl 2, Increase Aggro Meter Lvl 3, Walking Lvl 4, and Darkvision Lvl 3. But where did they come from? Don''t tell me... Looking at his watch, he counted he needed around 7 minutes to kill all of those zombies, and then.. this time he patiently waited in front of the Safe room door. 23 minutes later. "...Haha... somehow this doesn''t surprise me..." Fuk muttered when he saw the zombies respawning from the thin air. Then again... even though this time he was sure that he killed all of those zombies, he wondered why his level didn''t increase. Warning! 10 minutes left until the dungeon closed. "Hoo... so they notify the candidate huh." Fuk muttered, as he went back to the safe room and teleported back to his apartment. *** Nothing increased as he rested, then as Fuk taking a shower, changing his clothes into a better one and soon enough, a pickup truck was waiting in front of his apartment. "Yo my men! Howdy! Got any job?" Said the driver, Junior. Slowly the grape flavoured smoke dissipated and a figure with gravity-defying spiky pink hair, a full beard with the same colour covering half of his lower face with a big round glasses could be seen. Occupation: None... didn''t matter, he was frigging rich. "...Can you please drop that topic... we''re here for fun! Friggin having fun!" Said Lil Ty. Bald, dark-skinned, full of muscle and somehow had 30 pairs of the same red t-shirt. Occupation: Self-proclaimed social media influencer. Currently unemployed. And at the back seat, there was Methany, half shaved head with brown hair loosely fell on her left shoulder, piercing on her nose and her lips. "What are you waiting for? They aren''t gonna wait for us." Occupation: Student/ Freelance Dj / Video game streamer. Sitting next to her was a girl that had a long braided black coloured hair, loosely sitting on her right shoulder, covering her mouth and nose because of the grape flavoured smoke. As Fuk entered the car. "Ah! She''s my new housemate, Saiko, Fuk! Fuk, Saiko! I bet you two gonna have a lot to talk." Said Methany without a single care. "Oh, nice to meet you." Said Fuk wholeheartedly while he was offering a handshake. And Saiko only replied with a small nod. On their journey, as the four friends were talking loudly, one girl was silently looking to the window, only replying the conversation with a small nod or ''Yes'' and ''No'' and sometimes sighing all by herself. Chapter 9 The music was as loud as thunder; it made the cutlery on the tabletops rattle. Neon lights flashed everywhere like police sirens, but much more colourful. And in the spotlight, there was a man, drinking the amber coloured liquid. "Drink! Drink! Drink!" Others were cheering on him; the cheering sound itself was far louder than the music. Congratulations! Alcohol Resistance is now Lvl 2. Congratulations! Alcohol Resistance is now Lvl 3. Congratulations! Poison Resistance is now Lvl 2. Congratulations! Alcohol Resistance is now Lvl 4. Congratulations! Iron Stomach is now Lvl 2. "Wooow!!" Fuk shouted along with the crowd. He didn''t care what others think about this, but to drink a whole gallon of beer was one of his amazing achievements in his life. "Daang dude! x3" From his behind, his friends were hugging him with a face full of excitement. How could they not? This was the popular challenge on their college, and now after 25 years since the challenge had been made, their friend actually beat it. Though... from among of these liveliness, one girl, in particular, was looking at them, sometimes yawning while she was reading a book about SDS PAGE and something something. On the other hand, Fuk''s group had become the king of the party, people were gathering with Fuk''s group and it didn''t take long for some to talk about Saiko. "...What''s up with that girl?" Said passerby A. "Yes, I know right, seeing her reading that thick book really kill my mood." Said passerby B. The volume on their voice clearly showed they didn''t even try to hide it, if only... "What? She''s with us, get any problem with that?" Said Lil Ty. If only Lil Ty wasn''t the kind of guy that would let someone talking something bad about his friend, not like he had befriended Saiko, he just the kind of guy that followed the principle ''The friend of my friend is also my friend.'' While Lil Ty was confronting those two though, Fuk actually was agreed with them. "But seriously, this is the first time I see someone spending their time reading a book at a party." Said Junior. "Ah~ actually, tomorrow she has a job interview or something like that." Said Methany. "...Then why is she here?" Fuk replied while looking at her. "Erm~ I kinda force her to come... but! Don''t blame me! Since the first time she joins our house, she rarely leaves, forget about going out! actually, she even rarely talks with us. So~ I think it might be better to actually take her in this kind of activity." Said Methany, scratching her head. "....You''re the worst." Said Fuk. But she wasn''t the only one that didn''t talk. Just as Saiko was reading her book, she caught the attention of a certain group. PARTY PEOPLE! SILVER BROTHERHOOD! (Temporary name.) The Silver Brotherhood (Temporary name.) came to the party to hit on girls. For this night! for this party! for this moment! each member went through the most of vigorous training in order to put on the greatest performance! Hard working and determined single young man!! How were they doing? Did you need to ask? Since they got here and became the very first guest.... They hadn''t done anything! They were too scared to even call out to a girl! They were beginners! The Silver Brotherhood (Temporary name.) just formed at this afternoon! As those flashy guys had been sitting on the same safe the whole time, shivering as their eyes were staring at the ladies.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work. The time right now was 10.00 PM, SILBRO (Abbreviated.) had been in that spot, neither hitting on a girl or even taking a toilet break. Those were the fruits of their effort. But! their eyes hadn''t lost their gleam. Like a hyena staring at the corpse, they looked at the girlsShould I go... or should I not. They didn''t go, like hyena theyhave no balls. Though.. after they had spent an eternity on that sofa, they all recognized without saying any word. That the goddess in this party was thehalf shaved brown haired girl. Methany. Once Methany entered their field of vision, something in SILBRO''s chest just clicked, but since she was way out of their league, they didn''t even try to hit on her. But there was another girl that piqued their interest, a girl that was already dead drunk. ... She was dead drunk so they didn''t do anything, while in truth they were just looking for any reason to not hit on anyone. And the last girl they interested in was the long black haired, silently reading her book with no one else around her. A plain face without any makeup and yet giving the vibe of natural beauty, with her thinly figure, and her bored face giving them hope.Don''t we have a chance with her? that was what they thought. "Okay, then I''ll go." Said SILBROnumber 1. "Eh? Then I''ll go too." Said SILBROnumber 2. "No fair, I wanna go too." Said SILBROnumber 3. "No! Me! Me!" Said SILBRO number 4. "Then... I''ll..." As SILBRO number 5 raising his hands. "Then please go ahead."Said SILBRO number 1 to 4, completely tricking SILBRO number 5. Became the sacrificial lamb, SILBRO number 5 could only frown, then after gathering his willpower, SILBRO number 5 stood, as SILBRO number 5walking to Saiko, all of the other SILBRO were praying for his luck. "Hello, there~" Said the SILBRO number 5 as he took his sunglasses off, giving her his brilliant smile and showing his tiny eyes. Saiko continued reading her book, completely ignoredSILBRO number 5 attempt. But SILBRO number 5 had another trick, from the article he read on the internet that was called ''Brok''s Guide to Pick A Girl edition 5.5e.'' The first rule was to praise the other party and didn''t forget to act confident and talked properly. "Your snow coloured skin looks so beautiful, is this your first time attending a party?" It wasn''t very effective! as Saiko kept reading her book. If the lady ignored you, then skipped to the third rule and said "This must be a miracle! for me to see such a beauty in this place." But, SILBRO number 5 didn''t realize that Fuk and the rest of his gang were watching him. "Ho~ That guy doesn''t know how to give up eh." Said Junior, somehow admiring SILBRO number 5 persistence. "...If it is me, I will walk away after she ignores me." Replied Fuk. "But Saiko is really good huh, completely ignoring him like that. Ah! where is Lil Ty?" Said Methany. As Lil Ty still lecturing the other two. Still ignored, the SILBRO number 5 used the last rule, the highest levelled trick it was called ''A flowing ''double bind'' into a ''door in the face'' for the example, the SILBRO number 5 would show the trick. "Say wanna exchange phone numbers? or Facebook info?Oh~ that is too much? Then Instagramis okay too." "....." Said Saiko as she kept reading her book. It''s not workinggggg! She keeps ignoring me! ThoughtSILBRO number 5. Finally became too impatient, SILBRO number 5 was breaking the rule by grabbing Saiko''s hand. "H-hey, Wait! A B-Boyfriend?! Do you have one?! A Boyfriend?!" "Yo Fuk, isn''t the situation becomes too hot?" Said Junior, grabbing Fuk''s shirt and shaking him. "...Why are you asking me?" "Why? ah~ Because Junior is undependable, Lil Ty hasn''t come back and I am a woman." Said Methany. In which Junior replied with a nod. "Yup! I''m undependable! Go over there and shows some kung fu move!" Said Junior. Though while those three were busy with their own business, the others SILBRO couldn''t let this chance slip away, they walked toward the number 5 and pretending they had just met. "Hey, isn''t thatnumber 5? is that your girlfriend?" Said SILBRO number 1. "....Can you take off your filthy hand?" Saiko, finally opened her mouth and the first sentence that came out was an insult. Scratching his head, Fuk walked toward the gang. "There you are, what are you doing reading that book alone? Let''s go back everyone is waiting." Said Fuk, then the SILBRO members were glaring at him. "Wh-who are you?! Her boyfriend?!" Shouted SILBRO number 2. "You''re not, are you?!" Shouted SILBRO number 3. "I-If you''re not her boyfriend, then keep your mouth shut!" Shouted SILBRO number 4. "...I am her boyfriend, so can you let her go?" Answered Fuk, as he gripped the SILBRO number 5 hands, and along with this notifications came in. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill "Deception" Lvl 1! Congratulations! Intimidation is now Lvl 2. "I-is he really your boyfriend?" Said SILBRO number 5 as his body started to tremble. Knowing what Fuk meant, Saiko replied with a small nod. "R..really?" Said SILBRO number 5. So persistent... Fukthought as he tightening his grip, forcing the number 5 to let Saiko arms go. But behind number 5 back, Lil Ty came to see what was going on and already crackling his finger, with frowning eyebrows and eyes glaring. As the result, all of theSILBROwere fleeing while shouting "We''re sorry!!!" "O..oh.. thanks Lil Ty, you really save-" Before Fuk was able to finish his words, Lil Ty already opening his mouth. "W-w-w-what is going on?! Suddenly she is your girlfriend?! What is the trick?! How do you do that, dude?!" Shouted Lil Ty, as the 1,9 meters giantgrabbed his collar and lifted him. Chapter 10 "Oh! You should''ve said so!" As Methany explaining the situation to Lil Ty, he dropped Fuk and repeatedly smacking Fuk''s back, laughing while pretending nothing happened. But... with a slight feeling of discomfort; Fuk frowned. it wasn''t because Lil Ty''s big bulky arm was hurting him, it was because he didn''t feel any pain as Lil Ty''s hand making a contact with his back. Though he knew Lil Ty wasn''t serious with his hit, but yeah... somehow Lil Ty action was reminding Fuk to not to use his full power. So... my physical attribute has the range from 13 to 16. Then... is it safe for me to assume Lil Ty joking smack is somewhere below 16? but isn''t this weird? what happens when someone thin like Saiko only raise their physical attribute? would that mean she could lift something big with her slender arm? Frowning and unknowingly, Fuk already stared at Saiko''s thin arms as he was lost on his own thought. "...lo~ Hello~ Earth to Fuk, do you listen?" Methany, waving her hand right in front of Fuk''s eyes. ".....Ah! Can you repeat that?" While he was lost in his own thought, others already gathered with their group, the first thing Fuk noticed was white flashes. Cameras were flashing, and he could hear others were saying cheese. Beside him, a person was doing a dab, and the other one was making V sign with her finger. Then someone said they were going for the second round, and he could hear loud shouts; full of excitement from several directions. After that, a loud bass was shaking the entire floor. The crowds continued their drinking, dancing, flirting, while some already wasted at the floor. Meanwhile, as the party went wild, some crowds restarting the drinking game, though... drunk or not, they decided to do that near the sound system. As the challenger drank the beer, thanks to the loud bass, there was a lot of it spilling out, drip by drip it flooded the floor. Soon enough, the challenger failed the challenge, throwing up the rest of his beer. Surprised, the crowds were moving in reflex to avoid the challenger puke, staying away from him. However, when this event happened, one of the SILBRO, yes, they came back to the party and already dead drunk, was swaying his foot right at the flood floor, SILBRO number 4 couldn''t keep his balance in check and resulted with his falling down, and the beer bottle that he held was flying through top of everyone head, and precisely falling right at the electric socket; spilling the amber colored liquid right onto the socket hole. What followed was a total blackout, as the crowds were stopping their activity and protesting, Fuk''s nose smelled something, sniffing his nose for a few times, differentiating the weird smell through the smell of alcohol and cigarette, he smelled something was burning. Soon enough, something illuminated in the darkness along with the screams. Fuk turned to the source of the scream and found that a small fire already consumed the wall. With his Darkvision Lvl 2, Fuk saw SILBRO number 2; panicked or drunk, tried to extinguish the flame with his booze. ....It didn''t take long from Fuk to feel the heat. As the flame ignited, the crowds were running in panic, leaving the wasted one away. Still in his right mind, as Fuk was trying to run, Fuk only frowned as he watched his friends wasted on the floor, Lil Ty sprawled on the couch, snoring as loud as he could, Methany was sleeping; resting her head on the table, and Junior was panickly trying to wake them. With 16 Perception, Calculation Lvl 1, Darkvision Lvl 2, and Wided-Eye Lvl 2. It didn''t take long for Fuk to count the wasted person, there were 27 in total, all devoured by the darkness and the smoke.A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. ......... Where is the other girl?! Is she already get out?! Though first thing first, he grabbed his friends, if he didn''t have the system or the requirement strength, it must be impossible for him to carry Lil Ty. Putting Lil Ty big bulky body on his shoulder, barely able to carry him. "Junior! Take Methany with you!" Said Fuk as his voices became one with the soft crackling sound. Junior, hearing Fuk''s voice was snapped back into the reality, covering his mouth with a blanket, he grabbed Methany and carried her to the outside along with Fuk. Congratulations! Strong Arm is now level 3. Congratulations! Wided-Eye is now level 3. Even though Fuk wanted something like smoke resistance or something like that, those two was better than having no sudden power-up, though... as he brought Lil Ty while leading Junior to the outside, Fuk scanned the crowd and he couldn''t see Saiko. "..She''s still inside?!" Immediately, Fuk threw Lil Ty and went back to the burning house. From the front door, he could hear Junior shouting something about what he was doing. Fuk went over from one wasted drunkard to the other, some already awoke and in panic leaving the house while coughing in pain. Right now, in total there were eight people left, but he still couldn''t see Saiko. Fuk stumbled for a moment, frowned as he saw the stair. "No, those eight are the first priority." Said Fuk, as he continued his run. This time, he carried two medium-sized drunkards, each with his arm and ran like their weight didn''t matter. As he threw the girl that already dead drunk since the party started and the second unnamed partygoer, he went back and did the same to the third and the fourth. And as he wanted to go back for the fifth and the sixth, they already running out while some of their clothes was burned. "...Where is my heat resistance?!" Fuk protested as he carried the last two people, though... Fuk''s attention was grabbed when he saw the half of the stair already burned down. Kept his focus, this time he carried them and roughly threw them out of the house. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill "Throw Anything" Lvl 1! Without hesitation, he went back to the inside, frowning when he saw other were taking their phone out, recording his activity rather than helping him. Though... Fuk himself didn''t understand why he did this. He just thought because he could then why weren''t he help them? But.. the fire already blocked his way to the second floor. "...Fuk." Said Fuk. Preparing himself, without stopping Fuk leapt through the flame, earning him Nimble Leaper Lvl 2 and Jumping Lvl 2, neatly landing without him feeling any pressure on his leg or body, even though he leapt for more than 10 meters and landing on the ceramic floor. Congratulations! Falling Resistance is now level 2. Though, the fire already spread to the second floor, this time completely destroyed half of the stairs. But... Fuk was accustomed to this kind of situation, minus the fire and the life-threatening situation. His eyes flickered at the wall, at first, he moved his feet to the ''slowest'' and slowly increasing the pace as he got closer to the wall, soon Fuk''s feet made a contact with the wall and trusting his body alongside with his experience, he felt something that he hadn''t felt before. Rather than a vertical run or horizontal run, this time Fuk managed to run diagonally, bringing him to the second floor, and as the system progressed, its awarded him with Free Runner Lvl 2 and Poison Resistance Lvl 3. On the second floor, as he searched through the whole floor, Fuk didn''t manage to find anyone. "Fu-" Irritated, he grabbed a chair and threw it through the window. Without hesitation, Fuk jumped out from the 2nd floor, or around 7 meters above the ground, combining some of his experience at parkour and free running along with Falling Resistance Lvl 2, he jumped out. Bringing his chest to his knees and raising his hands, in midair he noticed the camera flashes and saw Saiko; already stood with the crowd. While the gravity doing its work, once the ball of Fuk''s foot touching the ground, he bent his knees, crouched and leaned as fast as he could and pushed his feet to propel him forward and did a perfect roll. Along with this, others were clapping their hands and taking his picture, with somehow pleasant face knowing no one was seriously injured. Except for the host, tears were falling from the corners of his eyes as he silently watched his house turned into ashes. Chapter 11 For a moment Fuk groaned as the medic tended his wound. Nothing serious though, just a minor first-degree burn but... he missed his chance to use heal and see the way it worked. Why? because behind his back, his friends plus Saiko was watching a video on youtube. "Dang, just take a look at the fire and Fuk only gets that kind of wound?" Methany''s voice leaked out from the respiratory mask. "Im...Impossible.. There''s no way a human body could survive that kind of stunt without any injury!!" Lil Ty, only had small scratches because Fuk threw him, biting his nail while trying his best to calculate the science behind Fuk''s impossible leap. "Hah! You should''ve seen him in live! First he ran with a whoosh! then threw the other people bam! And the next thing I knew he already leapt out of the window!" Junior, healthy and unscathed, explaining the situation in his style. Yep, If my wound suddenly gets healed I bet they''ll lose their mind. Fuk thought as he watched the firefighter trying their best to extinguishes the fire. Meanwhile, Saiko silently staring at them, waiting for someone to take the car and went home. Then, simultaneously as the fire was off, their treatment was completed. And they went home, prepared themselves for the morning activity. **** Before sun arose, Fuk already awoke, even though the notification didn''t welcome him with any news, his cat, Walnut greeted him as she rubbed her head on Fuk''s cheek. "Yes, Yes I get it." Whilst Fuk preparing their breakfast, frozen sardine for Walnut and a bowl of congee for Fuk, as he put the spoon into his mouth, something crossed his mind. "...what will happen if I put a living thing to inventory?" Fuk muttered, blankly stared at Walnut and a few seconds later shook his head wildly. He already knew that he could collect foods or plants, not only that when he put an ice cream, they didn''t melt in Inventory. Based on this fact, Fuk intrigued to find what would happen if he put a living thing to his Inventory. But.. knowing that the risk was too big, Fuk finished his breakfast and grabbed a pair of chopsticks, planning to catch a mosquito, cockroach or something like that. After spending sometimes, scanning for every corner in his room, looking behind the drawer even strolling at the corridor, Fuk managed to catch a mosquito, dead and flattened, as he realized that the one Mr Han caught with his chopsticks was a fly, not a mosquito. His second victim was a spider, already contained in the cup, the third victim was ants, swarming on his candy bait. And he couldn''t help but to breathe a sigh of relief when he didn''t manage to find a single cockroach in his room. Next, while he was staring at the spider and used Collect. .... Nothing happened. He did the same to the group of ants and nothing happened either. Shrugging his shoulder, Fuk released the spider at the outside and threw the ants. Without nothing else to do, Fuk cleaned his body and prepared himself for another job hunting. The first place: a cafe, full of people, even in the morning. As Fuk entered the cafe, he saw an old couple eating side by side, studiously bent over their meals. A group ofteenage girls collapsing with helpless giggles as a stern woman dining alone nearby looked on and frowned. Businessmen in their grey suits lighting up cigars. Foreign tourists, trying to decipher the menu.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. The open positions: a public relation manager and inventory manager. Then, while Fuk was being interviewed by the owner, from the corner of his eyes he saw a pile of CV already sitting in a garbage bin, and two CV neatly arranged on his table. The second place he wentwas a restaurant, not the kind of place he could afford, large mullioned windows, long embroidered curtains, dark walnut tables, flowers on each table, delicate live piano music, flagstone tile floor, lounge area with embroidered couches, oval coffee tables with splendidly proportioned cabriole legs, tea served from silver trays in white teapots. The open position: a sommelier, gracefully showing his above average knowledge about wine, Fuk could only drop his shoulder when he absolutely sure that the girl with Certified Sommelier Certificate would be the one that got accepted. As the time went on, it already noon. Eating kebab as his lunch, while sitting on a bench,with dropped shoulder. "....I should rob that bank." Fuk spoke his thought loud as he was staring people walking in and out from the bank. But unknowingly to him, on his back, two detectives were sitting, enjoying the same kebab as Fuk. One was old and experienced, wearing his signature trench coat and fedora hat, the other one was a greenhorn, neatly wearing his suit along with his red tie. If this was a normal situation, they would ignore Fuk''s words, but... on the last four days, there were too many strange cases, four people were killed by an arrow, chain robbery on the local gold stores, dead body strangled by a vine, mass disappearance and the last was a calling card, telling the police that the sender would rob the same bank Fuk was staring. It didn''t take long for those two agitated detectives to put their suspicion toward Fuk. As the senior detective stood, circling around the bench, ready to ask or if necessary using force to ask the young man sitting behind his partner. But... because of Fuk''s luck, already finished his lunch, he stood; ready to search for another job. Thinking that they Fuk noticed them and trying to escape, the old detective shouted. "Lex! Grab him!" Young and full of spirit. Lex, faithfully listened to his senior order and circled his right arm to strangle Fuk''s neck, he finished it by twisting Fuk''s arm or at least trying to do that. Surprised, in reflex Fuk struck his elbow right at Lex''s stomach. As the young detective body bent forward, and his face looking to the ground, Fuk continued by raising his elbow, precisely hitting Lex right on his chin. It only took two hits for Fuk to knock him unconscious. "Dude! What the hell?!" Said Fuk, confused about what was going on. The old one,seeing Fuk''s confused face, realized that they were making a big mistake, just because the rest of the police were agitated by the sudden increase in the crime,they were attacking a civilian without a proof. As the crowds were watching the scene, and some police officers walking to them. Taking off his fedora, the old detective bowed his head as heapologized to Fuk and explained the whole situation. "Eh... that''s fine, maybe. I''m just surprised." "No, no, no young man, at the very least you should''vereported me to my superior, still... my partner is innocent in this incident, please leave him out of your report." "...That''s happening because of me, I shouldn''t have speaking things like that. Sorry." As they were exchanging apologize, everything was escalated pretty quickly, and Fuk continued his job hunt while the old detective, carrying hisparalysed partner to continue their investigation. The last place for today was a biochemistry lab. Open position: cafeteria assistant manager. After 10 minutes interview, the fastest one Fuk ever had... he walked out from the door, with a very displeased face. And right in front of him, a long black braided haired thin girl, Saiko, slowly nodded at him. Seeing Saiko, Fuk''s response was "Hey, Saiko! can you slap me very, like very very hard?" "...Why?" Ignoring Saiko''s word, Fuk offering his right cheek. "Here, this place, slap this." Sighing really deep, Saiko raised her right arm and did what Fuk asked. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill "Improved Off-Hand Tactics" Lvl 1! "...Hurt... it''s HURT!!" Said Fuk, with starry eyes. Couldn''t believe that the position was given to him. "...." Saiko only dumbfoundedly stared at him. Fuk realized her stare, rubbing his cheek and said "*Ahem* Geez, no need to stare at me like that. By the way, are you working here?" He continued as he watched the girl wearing her working suit. "...Yes." Saiko answered, as she officially working there tomorrow. "....Your division?" She continued. "Eh. Cafeteria assistant manager. You?" Fuk spoke, scratching his red cheek. "....." After a long silence "...Research associate." "What''s that? Anyway! Tell me your favourite food, I''ll make sure that''s on tomorrow menu!" Said Fuk, though, Saiko only ignored him and went away. In the end, already had aplan to do something in the dungeon, he also went home. "But damn... that girl really pack some punch." Said Fuk, rubbing his red cheek. Chapter 12 List of beginner dungeon. Oz Plain: 930 Candidates, Majority creature: Beast. Thalan Jungle: 3210 Candidates, Majority creature: Plant. Raster Desert: 201 Candidates, Majority creature: Insect. Roc Mountain: 819 Candidates, Majority creature: Goblin. Mushkin Mansion: 23 Candidates, Majority creature: Construct. Skeletalview Graveyard: 59 Candidates, Majority creature: Undead. Dead Coast: 9 Candidates, Majority creature: Aquan. 2 hours left until the dungeon closed. Fuk squatting down, rubbing his chin and surveying the area. Up until yesterday, the spot Fuk was looking at was the spot where the zombie was respawning, but for some reason, there were no zombies or skeletons today. But it appeared the scary looking humanoid shrouded in rotting, tattered purple funerary clothes, its hands ended in sharpened claws with slightly elongated fingernails had been replaced them. On top of its head, there was a letter that said its name was Coffin Corpse. And there were several problems that made him concerned. First, Fuk was trying to fight it, but unlike its sluggish appearance, it moved really fast, almost as fast as Fuk. Not only that it had an ability to phase itself, but it also had some kind of teleporting ability. Second, one hit was enough to break his Lvl 3 barrier, that was 35 damage only with its normal attack, not including the mental pressure Fuk felt when Coffin Corpse was near him. Third, barely fleeing from Coffin Corpse, repeatedly using Swift Step Lvl 3. And as the result, it raised to Lvl 4, alongside with Running Lvl 6, Fast Movement Lvl 4 and Free Runner Lvl 3. Exhausted, Fuk grabbed a bottle of water from his inventory, completely forgot about the rule, and once he did that, a creature resembled a man-sized translucent humanoid with delicate features, wore flowing robes tied at the waist with a sash made of the same incorporeal stuff. The creature¡¯s face showed no emotion as it put his hand into Fuk''s body and the next thing Fuk knew his renown already reduced by one. Last, right now he was hiding, watching from the behind of tombstones as several people, 12 in number fighting together to defeat the Coffin Corpse. But, the physical attack didn''t have any effect, and as for magical attack, it would give some damage but the regeneration from the Coffin Corpse was far higher than the output they could give. So Fuk began to make some kind of plan in his mind. Theoretically, he could kill the Coffin Corpse if the requirement was fulfilled. Novice Strike Lvl 1: Spend all of your Stamina until 1 point left, doing physical damage equal to the stamina used x Skill Level. Instant. Novice Art Lvl 1: Spend all of your mana pool until 1 point left, doing magical damage equal to the mana used x Skill Level + Total point in the magical attribute. Channelling: 3 seconds. In paper, he could do 143 damage with Novice Art, though the flaw was he needed to have Coffin Corpse immobilize for about three seconds. Not including the risk if its Health was far higher than 143, he needed someone to back him up if that was the case. He could reduce the risk by increasing his Wisdom 39 times, but that would really hurt him in the long run. Fuk already planned to spread all of his attributes, slowly learning their value, not the one in number, but the one he could really felt. As far as he knew, raising Strength would make his body stronger, Constitution for his pain threshold, Control for well how he could move his body and keeping his balance, Agility for running speed. And that was all, except for the clear one like Perception, Precision and Reaction, Fuk didn''t realize any difference with another attribute. either they didn''t have any effect, or Fuk just didn''t realize yet.

In the end, already familiar with the staff, Fuk chose Blackthorn Staff and the result was a 2.1-meter black staff, with a brown gem on top of its head, on each end there were several thorns pointed out of the staff. As the complementary Fuk got a brown robe, with a metal pad on its right shoulder and a pouch at its belt and the hat was a standard pointy brown hat, with a black belt on the hat base. Whilst Monocle of Truth had a golden colour both on its frame and its chain, its glass was transparent, like crystal clear transparent, if one didn''t touch it, they wouldn''t know that the monocle had a glass. For attributes, after seeing the twelve party member was retreating, he also went back to his apartment, waited for midnight, went to his secret warehouse and distributing the attributes one by one while recording the result, at the end of the night, while dumping the last two point into Wisdom Fuk attributes were.

Chapter 13 Living in the heart of a city, he had grown used to having the warming, orange glow of streetlamps outside of his windows, their light filtering in through the gaps in the curtains. This was a blackness that he couldn''t recall seeing before, one that was almost absolute. When he tilted his head skyward he could see clearly millions of bright stars dotted on the black canvas of night, yet none of that light seemed to filter far enough down to make any difference when he turned his eyes down. The blue and red lights would send everyone heart rate higher, including him. He had much to do, ''business'' was high risk and high return, but he would wait a few minutes before resuming his escape. Nothing could beat the excitement that he had when the polices were chasing him. As his mouth raising into a big grin, he leapt from the bank rooftop. His white pointy eye mask was covering his face, his blood red tuxedo waving in the air and his plain white pants clearly shown his position, making it easier for the passerby to record his little game. Floating in the air, full of excitement he shouted. "Catch me if you can!!" as he threw the money away. Meanwhile, at the same time, in the same city. Congratulations! Athletic is now level 4. Congratulations! Climbing is now level 3. Congratulations! Free runner is now level 4. Congratulations! Jumping is now level 3. Congratulations! Nimble leaper is now level 3. Congratulations! Physical fitness is now level 5. While climbing the warehouse then leaping to the empty building, and repeating that many times, Fuk could hear polices sirene from the distance. Wondering what was going on, that thought immediately disappeared when Fuk looked to the city. Yellow lights from the car swarmed the streets, millions of lights caused the dense mass of skyscrapers glittered. Despite the time, the hustle and bustle never knew when to stop. The city''s residents were off to chill out in the smoky jazz bar downtown or in the brilliant coloured club. "Dang, this scenery never gets old." Said Fuk, taking a warm burger out of his Inventory as he admiring the landscape. If Fuk must say, the only reason he gratefull with the system was he had this chance to see this kind of scenery, then as he looked to the tallest building, 102 story heights with its blue coloured LED on the top of the building, Fuk could only grin, waiting for the day he could climb that building. Finishing his burger, Fuk took a glance onto the next roof and with a single movement, he jumped. Everything was blurred, the wind hammered onto his face, and yet he exactly knew he could reach his destination. From a stationary position, Fuk leapt for about 12 meters, throughout his experiment, the best he could do was 20 meters, and 23 meters with Jumping Lvl 3. Though sometimes it was slightly farther, sometimes shorter than that, if the distance was shorter than his Control, Fuk could precisely set the distance. Others would say flying was a freedom but for Fuk jumping and felt the gravity doing its job as he fell with sudden acceleration was the real freedom. Though... While he wasexercising, from among the sea of lights Fuk could see someone was standing at the roof. Supposedly there was nothing strange with someone standing alone at the rooftop, but his appearance really piqued Fuk''s interest. A ''well-fed'' figure, covered in a black cloak, was looking at something. On the mysterious figure''s hands was a natural green recurve bow. Slowly the figure took an arrow from the quiver, nocked it into the bow, and started aiming at something.This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there. But just a moment before the figure released the arrow, blue energy ball hit the figure''s hands, deviating the trajectory and as a result, the arrow was hitting the wall; slightly missed the window from a pretty big apartment. One thing that Fuk always did, if he could, why didn''t he do it? without knowing the figure''s motive, Fuk recklessly shot Energy Bolt. At least in his opinion, a shady figure standing alone at the rooftop and aiming a bow toward something couldn''t be a decent one. "Who''s there?!" Shouted the figure, from the figure''s voice, apparently, Fuk''s mysterious guest was a male. Without receiving an answer, one-meter height thorn was flying at him but much to Fuk surprise, he blocked Fuk''s javelin by shooting it in midair and changed its path. Fuk could only whistle when he watched that feat but soon enough his whistle turned into a groan as the figure raining his location with the arrows. "Fu- Fuk- Uck-" Fuk muttered as he evading the arrows, sometimes blocking it with the Barrier, though he only needed two hit to completely break Fuk''s Barrier Lvl 3. But soon the barrage was stopped, Fuk counted he shot at least 18 arrows. "Tch... I should''ve gone for his head." Said Fuk as his eyebrows frowned, covering behind the wall and realized that the mysterious figure was a maniac that didn''t hesitate to aim at his head. Moreover, even though Fuk had the high ground, but as soon as he trying to take a peek. An arrow immediately launched at his direction, and even though that was only a glimpse, using Analyze Lvl 1 Fuk managed to see his health total. 84/90. "Huh..." Rubbing his chin and doing some mental calculation, in number Fuk supposedly deal 36 damage, but then again, he knew that hitting at differentbody part would deal different damage. "...Then am I safe to shot him right at his body?" Fuk muttered. Still, that wasn''t the most important problem. First, he used Barrier Lvl 3 and then instantly went out, trying to shot the man, but even though Fuk well aware with this fact, the man shot his barrier, completely destroying it with a single shot and alongside with this, grazed Fuk''s shoulder and electrocuted him. "g..gah!!" Fuk groaned as he felt all of his limbs were tensed by a sudden shock. Slowly he fell, and with a broad grin on the man mouth, he leapt from one roof to the another and it didn''t take long for him to reach Fuk location. Once he arrived in the same roof as Fuk, smiling, he nocked an arrow and readied to shot Fuk but... Congratulations! Deception is now level 2. Pretending to be dead, Fukalready waited for the mysterious figure and shot him right before he was able to pull the string. 58/90 As the man staggered, Fuk ran to his opponentand lifted up his left knee to the man''s face. Following this, still in midair, Fuk swung his right leg onto the man head and knocking him to the floor. 15/90 Congratulations! You have received 1 Renown! Congratulations! Nimble brawn is now level 4. Congratulations! Natural combat mastery is now level 4. "Hoo... even thoughhe still has some Health left." Said Fuk, as he got up from the ground and cleaning his body. Though, as Fuk was watching the ''well-fed'' man in front of him, curiously he rummaged through his body and took 150$ from his wallet. Alongside the money, Fuk found a list of names, with twelve names in total and four names already scratched down. It didn''t take a genius to tell that there was some kind of hatred as the name was written on the list. While wondering what was his deal, Fuk used Heal andgradually the wound on his grazed shoulder was healed. Congratulations! Heal is now Level 2. "Ah, let''s try that!" Said Fuk with a big grin as he remembered aboutSteal. Alert! Steal is failed. Repeatedly Fuk usedSteal Lvl 1. After the fifth attempt, Fuk managed to get his bow and Congratulations! You have received a new weapon Longbow +1. Congratulations! Steal is now Level 2! "I see... so steal can steal something from Inventory huh." Alert! Can only use steal once per target. Please wait for 23:57:41 seconds to use steal on the same target. "Eh~ even though the skill description doesn''t say something about this." Said Fuk, shrugging his shoulder. Then, Fuk searched for a rope or another alternative as he tried to tie the man and healed him but the sound of something leapt could be heard. "Hah! I won''t stop until my list is completed!" The mysterious figure yelled while looking at Fuk. "...Bullcrap." Said Fuk, as he watched the ''well-fed'' man already ran a few blocks away. But that wasn''t the reason for Fuk astonishment. On the air, a red tuxedo man was flying and seemed like tonight wasn''t the mysterious figure best night, as he crashed straight into the red tuxedo man. Though, while the red tuxedo still floated, the mysterious figure was losing his momentum, as a result, he did a free fall to the ground. "Oh no, you don''t!" Said the red tuxedo, pointing his finger and making the mysterious figure floated. As for Fuk, he only stood from afar and saw the police cars were chasing the red tuxedo from behind. "....So what''s going on?" Said Fuk while tilting his head. Chapter 14 After collecting the arrows and used Clean to clean the blood and any traces on the rooftop, Fuk went back to his apartment and got sleep resistance Lvl 3 and walking Lvl 5, alongside with those by the time he woke up. Congratulations! Sleeping is now level 5. Congratulations! Bivouac is now level 3. Then, as usual, after he was making egg benedict and bacon and giving Walnut some of the bacon, earning him both Cook Lvl 4 and Animal Handling Lvl 4. He found some really interesting article. Man Took $10 Million in Cash From Bank and Flew (Literally) Last night, at 01.23 Am GMT-4, A man -- dressed in a sharp tuxedo suit and white pants -- suddenly appeared at the roof from the local bank, law enforcement official says they don''t have any official comment for this incident, but an investigation has been held since the last night. On the other hand, there are many video record about the chase, on the video the culprit; people calling him Mr Tux. Managed to take the money and flew (Literally) through all the polices barricades and just disappeared (Literally) Serial Killer Has Been Caught in The Chase. And goes missing. The serial killer who brutally murdered the last four people on the last fifth day was arrested last night, as he suddenly fell from the sky while the law enforcement was chasing Mr Tux. QO, 33, Male, Found guilty of those charges as the police that took him up to the local hospital and found a match on his fingerprints with the evidence they have gathered. The culprit motive is still unknown, but a Specialist says "QO has some mental problem as he thinks himself as the chosen one, the candidate, part of the system and is assigned to use his power to the fullest." Meanwhile, as to this moment, QO has been gone missing, presumably escaped from the custody. "Huh..." Knowing what happened to QO, Fuk couldn''t help himself but rubbing his chin, rotated every gear on his brain, while wondering both of them was breaking the rule but what made Mr Tux didn''t get any penalty? and as he putting another spoon of egg into his mouth, "Ah!" Fuk shouted. It took quite a long time for him to realize that whoever QO was, his identity had been known, and he directly told the specialist about the system, on the other hand, even though Mr Tux was using his skill in front of everyone, his identity was unknown, no one knew about who was using the skills. Though... this was only his hypothesis, as Fuk cleaning the plate away he thought another alternative such as QO was escaping to the dungeon and Mr Tux had some special privileges that allowed him to use his skills or he just had many Renowns to spare. Congratulations! Cleaning is now level 5. Full of spirit, Fuk took his bike and drove it to his workplace. Earning him Riding Lvl 2 in the process and fifteen minutes later he arrived at his workplace. The gigantic buildings towered above him as great monoliths of white concrete and glass.The window was so large it reminded Fuk of his father''s store. The park was... Fuk was sure people could play soccer on this building park. As he entered the building, something pierced his nose, the aroma of the setting agar plates but there was an undertone of bleach. Next to him several otherswhite-coated scientists moved in choreographed silence as they walked past Fuk. The hum of machinery was like a Background music of this place.The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement. While the scientist and researcher, including Saiko, went to their respective lab. Fuk headed toward the kitchen and meeting the people he would work with. His superior or manager, was the typical straight out from the movie manager, classic bald-guy donut, his clean-grey hair reaching from the back of one ear to the other. Wild-west style moustache that also already greyed out. On the kitchen there was a veteran from the army dark skinned and had many freckles on his face, his voices kinda reminded Fuk of with an old actor that worked perfectly as a narrator alongside withtwo others cook. Next, on the front service was a chubby lunch lady with her white apron and the same colouredcook cap,with several wrinkles on her face; there were four other working alongside her. Last was the cleaning service groups. Fuk''s mainly job wassupervised all cafeteria personnel, as well as food preparation and handling practices. He might oversee menu creation, purchasing, and planning as well. Although sounded easy, considering the place he worked at, he needed to ensure that recipes were followed and that standards related to sanitation and temperature control were observed by workers at all times. And counting the nutrition alongside inspecting the ingredient quality. To describe Fuk''s working condition, there was nothing special he coulddo in the morning, the cafeteria was like a cemetery, except him and several others people there were no one else but... Twitching his eyes, Fuk couldn''t believe the food that he tasted, the food had an impossible quality, washed out and overcooked. The vegetables were mush, greasy and lack of flavour. The meats were chewy and hard to eat, by the time he tasted everything he got Iron Stomach Lvl 3 and Mental Resistance Lvl 3. What surprised Fuk the most was, they already used the same menus for the last five years, the menu that they had was the one the nutrition expert gave to them. Realizing there were too many batches of foods were already made, Fuk only dropped his shoulder while determined to give them another set of new menus. In the afternoon, the cafeteria was a cacophony of loud chatter, each table was a cosseted huddle of people raising their voices to be heard across the room. The food was secondary to the information that was exchanged here. Over the over-salted fries, alliances were formed and gossip traded like poker chips. As Fuk helping the servers who would have done well in a funeral home for all their smiling while taking the note of who associated with who, who to snub and who to flatter. He cast his eyes to the familiar face, that seemingly eating alone all by herself in her white coat. "Your friend?" Said the chubby lunch lady, Estefania; the only servers that had a smile on her face when she precisely saw Fuk was looking at Saiko while her hands kept moving and continuously giving foods to the employee. "Nope, just an acquaintance." Fuk replied, with somewhat a bad feeling on his chest while his hands following Estefania pace. Estefania moving her head back and forth toward Fuk and Saiko, then with the big grin as she had just seen a potential drama. "G''on cowboy! This old lady is enough to keep this post!" Somehow Fuk already foresaw this incident, while trying to keep his smile, Fuk politely permitted himself and took a pen and a note then walking toward Saiko. "How''s the food?" Said Fuk with his business smile, though in his heart he already knew her answer. "...Disgusting." Replied Saiko without a single slight of emotion shown on her face or even looking at Fuk. "Geez.. at least try to sugarcoat your word." Clicking his pen and opening his note. "So, any suggestion? Favourite food? or something like that?" Fuk said as he studiously trying to improve the food quality. Sighing, Saiko slightly moving her eyes and staring at Fuk. "....No." At the very least, Fuk had tried to be nice with her. While keeping his business smile Fuk excused himself and went to another table, introducing himself and continuing his little survey. In a few minutes, Fuk had introduced himself to half of the cafeteria while writing their suggestion and et cetera. Still, he only shrugged his shoulder by the time he finished. His lip curled down when he realized something. Albeit they were talking and smiling to each other, everyone wouldn''t say that this place was ruthless, cruel and everyone worked themselves. There was no team work and they would steal each others results if they could take a little more glory for themselves. The research money went to the ones who published in the most prestigious researches or journals, to the losers had nothing at all. They all had PhD''s. They were brilliant. But here brilliance was the norm and even a genius didn''t stand out. Sighing, at the very least Fuk awareat thecompetition condition in his working place....Well, I have nothing to do with them though. Chapter 15 In the dungeon, Fuk was silently watching the Coffin Corpse, while waiting for the other candidates to arrive, in the waiting time he repeatedly grinding his Analyze until it reached Lvl 3, allowing him to see Coffin Corpse Health, Mana and Stamina. Coffin Corpse Health/r: 225/100. Mana/r: 120/20. Stamina/r: ¡Þ/0. "...Infinite stamina eh, that''s annoying." A few minutes later, five candidates walking in his direction. A skinny teenager maybe still in junior high with his goat, a big woman that gave motherly aura with her axe, a strict looking well build man with his hunting rifle, and a man and a woman with their fake pointy ear; that looked like they had just come back from the cosplay event. Fuk wondered what he would say to those guys, to suddenly talk with them and ordered them to do his plan, the chance they would do that was below zero, but that was what he thought. "Are you going to kill that Coffin Corpse? Why don''t you join my party?" Said the Pointy-eared man, seemingly their party leader. Fuk smiled and agreed. Although he was going to face the real undead this time, it was oddly relieving to know they were targetting the same enemy, but... looking at the pointy-eared man, Fuk didn''t want to assume that he would instantly agree to his plan. Immediately, the man''s lip raised up, it didn''t take long for him to ask about Fuk''s position, his battle style or did he knew about Coffin Corpse weakness and et cetera. Knowing they were hitting the rock bottom, Fuk explained his plan, although Fuk himself wasn''t 100% sure that his plan would work out. Still, the party already ran out of plans and alternatives, they accepted Fuk''s plan without hesitation. *** The Coffin Corpse''s movement was agile, slower than Fuk but floating really gave it a big advantage. ¡®ooOOOooo¡¯, was the noise that appeared while the Coffin Corpse rapidly approached, it gave off eerie feeling along with its elongated nails. It was as if they were in some kind of b-rated ghost movie. And the big woman, nickname: Mama blocked the Coffin Corpse nails. Even though the big axe she grasped in her hands was able to deflect Coffin Corpse attacks, its real power was the time when it began to phase its body. Bang! Bang! Two flashes of light targeted and accurately shot Coffin Corpse''s head by the time it appeared on Mama''s back, the shooter was the well-built man, nicknamed Soldier. The Coffin Corpse flinched, seemingly whatever the bullet that Soldier used, it was able to deliver the impact to Coffin Corpse.This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it. When the Coffin Corpse flew to him, Soldier lightly jumped. Then he shot Coffin Corpse in rapid succession, though the Coffin Corpse endured Soldier''s storm like gun-fire, and the hole on its body slowly closed. As the Coffin Corpse raising its arm, trying to attack Solder while he was in mid-air. The skinny teenager, nickname: Cloud, who had set up his rescue operation ordered his goat, nickname: Behemoth to jump and with a hair thickness, Behemoth pushed Soldier''s body away with its momentum. Hitting nothing but the air, without any need to talk both of the pointy-eared man and woman, nickname: Ellisar and Eilayr cast Mystic Stun. Black foggy balls were created and rummaging to the Coffin Corpse with all of their might, Then as Fuk was sure that the Coffin Corpse completely immobilize. He pointed his staff toward the Coffin Corpse, while the tremendous ball of energy condensed at the tip of his staff, there were cracks and dents on the ground caused by Novice Art Lvl 1. Twisting the staff and adjusting the angle, after three seconds the condensed ball of energy was released with all of Fuk had. BAAAAM Such an explosive sound created when the ball made contact with Coffin Corpse''s body. The ground below its body was completely destroyed, creating a 5-meter deep hole with 10-meter radius. The whispering sound of wins entered everyone ear and the Coffin Corpse that received direct 249 damage had its body vaporized, as its body was nothing but a drop of water being thrown into the torch. Congratulations! Novice Art is now level 2. Congratulations! Level up to level 2! +1 Cp. Congratulations! Level up to level 3! +2 Cp. Congratulations! Quest is completed! +1 Renown. "Congratulations! Marvelous! Marvelous! You guys have returned the peace on this graveyard." A voice came from behind of Fuk''s back. As he turned his head he found the hunched shaddy figure, clapping his hands with a big chest on his side. "O~ great candidates~ this isn''t much but please take my offering as the reward~" Fuk... couldn''t help but twitch his eyes when Ellisar replied the hunched figure. "O~ Thy kind old man~ We with humble accepted thy gift~" .....O~kay... Fuk thought, then as the other party member received their gift, a staff, wand, robe, and ring for the ''elves'', black revolver and dagger for Soldier, a chimney and whip for Cloud, giant axe and plate armor for Mama. As each one of them added Fuk to their friend list, they went back to the safe room after received their reward. And at the very least it was Fuk''s turn now. The first choice was a great axe, unlike Mama big axe this axe had a long handle, kinda reminded Fuk with a pole. The second choice was a gauntlet with three silverish blades functioned as the claw, kinda reminded Fuk with some comic character. The last choice was two balls connected with a chain. "....Fu... I only get the left over." Said Fuk, as his eyes twitching when he looked to the remaining weapon. Still, he couldn''t protest as he got three weapons while other only got two. Sighing, Fuk took all of those weapons, put them into his inventory and went back to the safe room, as he watched the zombies and the skeletons appeared back onto the graveyard Chapter 16 "So, is there any question?" Right now Fuk was integrating the new recipes to the cooks. Most of them were nothing special, but at the very least he was sure that it would taste better than the rest of the old recipes. Beside this, there was some new regulation about dividing the menu into pork, non-pork, and vegetarian food. And thanks to the ''laziness kindness'' of his boss, he just let Fuk did anything he wanted to do. "Boss, can you explain one more time about the ''bonus'' part?" Said the veteran cook, Dequinn. "...It''s weekly." Fuk answered, fully understood the meaning behind Dequinn question. Once per week, he would let the cooks cooked any recipe they wanted to cook. As long as it got Fuk''s approval, not expensive, could be made in bulk, using the ingredients they had and healthy, he would give them 100$... from his own salary. Hearing Fuk''s words the smile pasted on their faces, even though Fuk somewhat kinda regretting his decision, at the very least he knew how bored and low morale they were; cooking the same foods every day in the last 5 years. For starters, today new menus were chicken noodle soup or lentil soup, baked ham and pineapple, jacket potato, garlic bread, cheese and tomato ravioli, sandwich selection, seasonal fruits and ''garden'' salad. "Huh... maybe I should add some home tasted food," Fuk muttered, rubbing his chin. "Anyway, it will be better if you guys add a home recipe or local food." He continued, knowing the fact that most of the researcher and scientist rarely went to their home. After he was helping the cooks for a little while, it didn''t take long for the cooks to fully understand his recipe and did the rest of it by themselves, while some of the servers were helping them and some were helping with the cleaning, Fuk went back to his own office, smirking when he realized that he had his own room. Without hesitation, he jumped to the seemingly comfortable black office chair and spinning around a few times, until he realized that he was acting like a kid and began to sort his thought. "Let''s see... Mama is a Fighter then Warrior and Viking, Soldier is Striker then Archer and Gunslinger, Cloud is Backpacker then Ranger then Tamer, lastly Ellisar and Eilayr is a spellcaster then Wizard and Magician then Sorcerer and Elemental Mage." As he scribbled down the list of those guys Classes, at the very least he knew five Class functions out of the Sixteen Class he had. This time, rather than spending 135 Cp to Hyper Novice, Fuk was planning to increase the pool of skills he could get. "...Won''t it better for me to go complete the rest of spellcaster?" Fuk muttered, rather than blindly went to spend his Cp on the unknown Class, and the fact that he already knew two of spellcaster classes gave him enough reason to complete the rest of spellcasters Class. At the worst, he would get the information about the said class. Already fully aware of what Cleric could do, the choice that he made was. Warlock 30/30 Cleric 3/30 Cp Left: 0. Congratulations!

Beep Beep As the jarring alarm sound reminding Fuk that he had another job, still in high spirit he lifted his ass from the comfortable chair and went to the cafeteria. While doing the same activity as yesterday, helping the servers and learning about other employees but today forcing his vision to its maximum limit, he searched for the least favourite food, the food that others barely took. Congratulations! Wided-Eye is now level 4. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Fast Handed Lvl 1! Huh... a new skill eh. Fuk thought as the speed of his hand suddenly increased, slightly faster than Estefania as both of them handing food like they were a machine. They hadn''t realized yet, but their actions had become a show for others. Some were cheering on Fuk... And some were betting whether or not Estefania could defeat the new assistant manager. When the number of people that went to the cafeteria already reduced, once again with the friendly trained smile Fuk went around, doing a little chat whilst asking for some suggestion. And then from the corner of Fuk''s sight, one woman with messy hair was monopolizing the desk, without no one else eating on her side, though the woman itself didn''t eat and just silently lay her head on the table. Shrugging his shoulder, Fuk excused himself from the other group and took a bowl of chicken soup. "Excuse ma''am, are you not feeling well?" Said Fuk. "...No..." Said the woman with a hoarse voice. And as she raised her head, somehow Fuk didn''t surprise to find that it was Saiko. Though, he could only wonder how the hell she already turned into a zombie in her second day. "Geez, if I know it''s only you, I should act more casual." Fuk said as he put the bowl of chicken noodle soup in front of her. "Here, eat this." "....Not in the mood." "..Then why are you coming to the cafeteria?*Sigh* Just eat, this one wouldn''t taste like sh- I mean this one should taste better than yesterday." Fuk said while he was sitting in front of her, blankly stared at her panda-like eyes. "....Can you mind your own business?" "Eh, whatever you say ma''am." Said Fuk, as his lip curled upward in derision and as he stood, he remembered something "By~ the~ way~ tonight we are going to the club, wanna come?" "....who''s ''we''?" She replied, as she took the spoon and began stirring the chicken noodle soup. "You know, the yesterday gang, Lil Ty, Meth, Junior. Well, in case you''re interested just go to the "Wherever" home bar, by the way, if you wanted second just go to the Estefania, the chubby woman over there." As Fuk pointed his thumb backwards, from the glass reflection he noticed that Estefania noticed he was talking with Saiko and waving her left hand as her right-hand repeatedly handing the foods. "....Yup, that lady over there." Fuk said, leaving Saiko and joining with another group of people before he went back to the kitchen, helping the cook made another batch of foods. *** After briefing tomorrow menus, calculating the food, the ingredient used, the most food that others were eating, the least popular food, the waiting line, prime time the moon already replaced the sun and when he went out from his office. The pearly-white translucent figure shimmered with a hazy black string. At first, its whisper was like the soft susurration of the wind in the trees, then as the figure became more clear, more sharply focused, the whisper became an eerie hoarsenow. Though Fuk could see the form of a woman with a gaunt soulless eye. "The hell are you doing?" Said Fuk to the shady figure that sat still in the darkness. The figure glaring at him and with frowned eyebrows. "....You forget to give me the address." "Seriously? Have you heard about this mysterious thing called GPS? no? It is installed on yo-" "....the battery is dead." "...Charge it." Fuk said, as his eyes shifting to the electric sockets that were scattered at the walls and floors. "....I don''t bring it." "Ask ot-... then just knock on my door. What''s the type? type c? I have aportable charger, just give me your phone." Chapter 17 Congratulations! Walking is now level 6. The bar curved into the room, dark in the barely lit room. Through the windows, the diamonds of lead panes trickled the sallow light of street-lamps. The smell always changed over the time. First, it was of cigarette smoke only, then a whiff of unpleasant and repulsive body odour and now it was stale beer. As Fuk wiped the sweat from his forehead, he greeted his friends with a smug smile, couldn''t wait to show his friends their working attire, they were gathered around in the brightest spot below the cracked, broken ceiling. But unlike him, one of his friends Lil Ty looked weathered, as if he had worn by years of hard work or more likely worn by days of searching for work. "Look at what we got here, damn dude, you look like a different person, give me back the Fuk that I know!" Said Junior, standing up and circling his arm around Fuk, whilst scanning at his light blue shirt and grey tie. "You know, a yellow or golden tie should suit better than the grey tie." "Shut up.. this is the only tie that I have." Fuk repliedas he took the seat. And from his back, a woman with a black polka dot shirt and black flare pants followed him to take a seat. "My~ My~ are you two going out?" Methany said, furiouslyshaking her head between Fuk and Saiko. "See~ Told you that you two make a great couple~" She continued with mischief smile. "...Stop blurting non-sense, we''re just working in the same company." By the time Fuk said this, the beat down Lil Ty reacted with a grin on his lips. "Good boy, good boy, now that you already have a job, don''t you dare to get a girlfriend before me." He spoke after he raised his head from the table. It didn''t take long for the curly old barmaid delivered a pint of beer for the smiling young man, "Thanks, Nana." Fuk said before he let out a vociferous sound as he gulped down a huge glass of beer in which spilling out from the corner of his mouth and trickled down to his neck. And Nana just snarlinglystared at Saiko, waiting for her to tell her order. "...Milk please." Said Saiko. Hearing her order, the five people immediately opened their eyes as wide as theycould, like they were listening to the news about the apocalypse. "...I don''t drink." "We ain''t giving ya that shit, let''s just give ya a root beer." Said Nana, immediately leaving them and pouring the root beer onto the glass. "...Wait." Trying to stop the old lady, her voice got sunk among the sea of conversation that dominated the bar. "Just give it up but spoiler alert the root beer here taste like shit!" Said Junior. "Yep, taste like a rotten flea, not like I ever taste one though." Fuk continued, giving another useless information to Saiko.This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings. Sighing, as the black carbonated liquid with thick foamy heads at the top of the glass arrived, Saiko only leaned on the chair, her black hair lying over her shoulder of her black polka dot shirt, she rested her head to one side, pushing the glass away from her face. "Saiko~ those two are joking, just drink it, it''s one of Nana''s specialities." Said Methany, shoving the glass back to her. "By the way~ Where have you been? I didn''t see you like at all yesterday." "...Night shift." "We have a night shift?!" Fuk replied, surprised knowing the fact that they had a night shift. "No wonder you look like shit but...dang...isn''t this your second day? by the way should I prepare some night snack? what do you think, eh?" "...Why are you asking me?" "Well... you are the one that experienced the night shift, so? what do you thi-" But as those two were talking about their job, Lil Ty closing his ears and only making sound ike that one cartoon when the character found a magicalconch shell. "lolololol, stop talking about yourjob. lololol" "Geez dude, give us some slack, you''ll know the feeling when you are started to work." Fuk said, with an insulting tone. "This is like what? your second day?! aren''t you become to mouthful?" Lil Ty replied, using his big hand to scramble Fuk''s hair. Though, they dropped the subject and as they continued their conversation, with one person boredly looking at them. Nana turned on the TV, and like the ducks following their mother, the rest of the bar went silent and turned their attention to the television. The hefty biker type that had very artistic, brightly coloured tattoos on his muscular arms, the group of teenagers that had different kind of hair colour, the strict looking middle-aged man and his wife came just right on time, and along with everyone else patiently looking to the small TV and soon enough an epic song was being played, as the sign that a TV show where every likeable character dead was starting. Fuk''s group immediately moving their position, searching for the better position to see the Tv, while they watched the show,some were whacking their mouths, some were only made "Oooh" sound like a broken record, some were clenching their fist tightly, some were seriously watching and one person was watching and yawning. "....Never watch it eh?" Fuk somehow ended up sitting next to Saiko, tried to make a small talk with her. "....Yes." Saiko answered, as her eyelid was half opened. "I see... then wanna hear the synopsis?" Fuk, full of excitement readied to tell her about the synopsis, in fact, he was eager to tell her about the whole story if she asked. "....Not really." Though the television blared, her head lolled on her shoulder and her eyes were almost closed. "You know... if you are tired why don''t you just go back?" "...Huh...not your problem..." Congratulations! Sleep resistance is now level 2. It didn''t take long for her to take her eyes off from the TV as if the effort of watching it was too much, the gasping voice slowing her own breathing and already fell asleep before the next advertisement break. Though, as the muscle on her face slowly relaxed, a few moments later. "BOOOOO!!!!" "What the hell?!" "Noo!!!" The audience cheering instantly waking her up, drowsy and hazy, it didn''t take long before she continued her sleep, though this time, her body slowly collapsed toward Fuk''s shoulder. And once more the muscle of her face relaxed, releasing the tension of her day, along with transparent liquid that fell from the corner of her mouth. While Fuk, surprised by this incident and unsure of what he should do. Only trying his best to keep his expression straight. Congratulations!Poker face is now level 2. Chapter 18 Rain fell like it meant to wash them, the gusting wind carrying those crazy chaotic drops in wild waterspouts one moment and in diagonal sheets the next. It sounded like the heavens were knocking on Junior''s truck door, roof and window. By the time Methany opened the door, it poured down on Fuk, not as cold as it would be by the time November came, but it was cold enough to make him learned Cold Resistance Lvl 1. "Thanks for the ride!"Methanyshouted. As she carried the soundly sleep Saiko on her shoulder, rain washed their faces and Fuk could only think how the hell Saiko still sleeping when they were penetrating through the rain and ran back to their house. "A..amazing... to perfectly sleep even though the rain is this intense." Said Lil Ty, in the moment of silence the other two nodded at his words. As Junior''s foot pressed against the pedal, softly splashing water droplets hit the car windows as they drove onwards, while Fuk was watching the droplets race down to the windows, Junior silently observed theroad,and Lil Ty. "But still... Even Fuk is working right now, and we didn''t even go to somewhere this summer." He said as he searched the music to be played. "...Isn''t it normal for me to be working? then again you should gather your shit and start looking for a real job." Fuk replied. "By the way, how is me working and we didn''t go anywhere is related?" "It''s not, I just confide my thought. Oh, this onelooks interesting." As the song playing in the background, the street thatusually still thronged with commuters around this hour was stood as empty as any dessert. The silence was pressed on them and all they could hear was hissing tires on the blackened night, as the rain made more the atmosphere became more tedious. "Then!! why don''t we go visit my cabin?" Said Junior. "...which one? your father? your mother? or your sister?" Fuk replied, counting with his finger as he listed every cabin that Junior''s family owned. "No, no, no this one is mine, I bought it by my own money, andmaan, you should''ve seen the cabin, it''s located right in the middle of the wood and I get a bear rug and antler head as a bonus." "Th..that''s sound so wrong." Lil Ty replied as he browsed another music to be played with. "And thenMethanywill be the first to die, followed by Lil Ty and the last one is me while you''re going to survive with some random woman. Dude, I''ve been watching too many slasher flicks to know where this will go." Said Fuk. "Man, I''m just joking. It is located near the lake, and there are several other cabins surrounding the lake. How bout it? interested?" "Eh, dunno. I just started working, can''t promise you about that." Said Fuk. "By the way... why are we heading toward this direction?" Lil Ty spoke, with a slightly pale look on his face. Their route was the same one up until Junior making a right turn and driving away from the commuters are, the sky was a mass of grey cloud,enough to cover the darkness at the sky, the wind was just as bitter as the atmosphere. It didn''t take long for them to see a bridge, a red bridge with the exact brilliant cherry scarlet colour, no scratches or chipped part, the bridge was free of litter, the surrounding fences were unvandalized perfection. There were no trees nor a single leaf, the street-lamps were the same canary yellow as the rain-slickers and the taxis.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. "O..oi, where are we heading?" Asked Lil Ty. "My secret route, moreover it is faster to go this way and I don''t need to circle around." Said Junior. "Speaking of which, have you heard about this bridge story?" Raising his lips, Fuk changed his sitting position and sticking his head between Junior and Lil Ty. "The rabbit man right?" "Fuk! What the hell bro? stop jinxing us!!" "Oh? what''s that? I heard something like the crying lady or the ghost car, care to explain?" Asked Junior. "Eh... nothing special, it''s just a story that I heard frommy friend cousin back in the college, the cousin claimed that he heard from his engineer friend that she and two other people were driving past this bridge in the middle of the rain, just like this night, if I remember it right, their car suddenly break by the time they reached the bridge, and as she and her friend repairing the car, while the last friend was sitting in the inside. While she and her other friend was fixing the car, trying to find the problem she dropped her wrench, and that was everything when wrong, woa--" Fuk stopped his story as the car suddenly broke down, the eerie song suddenly stopped along with them stranded right in the middle of the bridge. "...Crap." Said Junior, as he turned the power on for so many times, resulted with nothing but the sound of the dying engine. "...Lil Ty, go to the outside and get some jack on the back." "No, nope, nay, never, nuuh I ain''t gonna get to the outside." Said Lil Ty, fastening his seat belt and shaking his head vigorously. "...Mann, you''re the mechanic. Whatever, Fuk helps me repair my baby." "Ah by the way,wanna hear the continuation? he said by the time the woman raised her head, she found a half rabbit, half man, alreadysitting on the driver seat, grinning at her as the rabbit man fury foot pressing the pedal, launching the car straight to the rive-" Fuk whispered right at Lil Ty''s ear but got stopped as Lil Ty suddenly unfasted his seat belt and spoke. "So, what should I do? taking the jack right? you got it." Said Lil Ty. The rain hammered down onto their face, tickling their hair as it was falling to their eyes, all in all Lil Ty was checking the machine condition. "...Nothing wrong in here, how''s the battery?" He muttered as hechecked the bottom of Junior''s truck. Though... his voicewas lost against the riot from the rain. "Oi! How''s the battery?!" He shouted, turned his head to the right and found a pair of feet, a brown fingerless pair of white-furred feet. Rubbing his eyes, looked to the front and found both of Fuk''s black shoes and Junior''s yellow sneakers, still in the front, checking the car battery as they were murmuring about something. A cold sweat fell from his forehead, once again, closing his eyes and praying for a little bit, slowly Lil Ty opened his eyes and directed his head to the right side. ......... A human-sized white, red-eyed rabbit was looking at him. Smiling, with the screwed upfull of stitches face. "#*$@*" His scream was the kind of high pitched cry that belongs to the female opera singer, A scream ofone in mortal terror, rooted to the spot, and his unblinking eyes popped like a doll. "Gahaha! we know that you''re afraid of a ghost but I can''t believe you''ll scream like that." Said the rabbit, with a somewhat familiar voice. "T..t...t..t..that v..v.v...voice." Still stuttering. "Junior!! You son ov a bitch." Lil Ty shouted, raising his head and slammed against the iron pipe. As he went out, rubbing his head, he found Fuk smiling with a big grin, bringing a pair of artificial feet on his hands, "...Amazing, the scream alone is enough to make a viral vine." Fuk spoke. "Huh?! You think this is funny?! I almost peed myself you little fukers!" "Don''t blame me... Junior''s idea, by the way, you kept saying you need a content for your videos right, there you go, your content." Fuk pointed to the Junior as he removing the rabbit head, showing that it was full of hidden camera and et cetera. "What? It''s your own fault to buy Fuk''s crap, speaking of which, I''m far more impressed that you aren''t not recognizing this bridge." Said Junior, pointing at the bridge sign, showing Lil Ty that it was a recently built bridge that connected Fuk''s block to another block. Through all of this little act, Fuk gained Skill Growth Lvl 2, Deception Lvl 3 and Dark Vision Lvl 4. Alongside with this, he got message notification from Ellisar. Hey, let''s go to the dungeon! Chapter 19 Fuk''s Apartment. Doing laundry hadn''t been so much easier for Fuk, just hung his wet shirt, used Clean and poof, not only his shirt dried out, it almost looked like the professional laundromat was the one that cleaned his shirt, no wrinkle, no smell, saving on detergent and water bill. "...I love this skill." He muttered. On his leg, Walnut was rubbing her head, asking Fuk to play with her, though this time Fuk just putting her inside of his robe, accessed the dungeon menu and disappeared. Thalan Jungle. The towering trees slanting over the land. The sun passed through any miniature hole it can reach and illuminated the green background. Most of the tree was something he never saw before, and from the inside of his jacket, Walnut popped her head, curiously looking at the sea of trees that suddenly surrounded her. "Meow?!" she raised her voice in confusion. Unlike the graveyard, there were many people wandering around at this jungle, food and weapon vendors lined up at Fuk''s side, some were walking past the gate, some were farming and gathering fruits, and some were gathering a party, preparing themselves to enter the gate. And once again, unlike the graveyard gate, rather than dull iron fences, the gate on Thalan jungle was a row of natural thorns, covered in colourful flowers and vines. "Damn... no wonder everyone goes to this dungeon." He said, feeling like he was on a picnic. It didn''t take long for him to put Walnut on the ground, letting her walked right at him. If he must say, the dungeon itself was exactly the same as the country town where everyone doing live-action role-playing, small inn, pubs and tavern, exotic foods, and in the middle there was a plaza, complete with a small pond and unfinished building, near the building there was a wooden board, filled with papers asking for anything. From the party recruitment, monster ingredients, money conversion, an advertisement for their business, even there was a paper searching for the rare NES game. Then another message came from Ellisar, asking Fuk about his whereabouts, he told Ellisar that he was waiting near the bulletin board, wore the same grey robe, with a cat walking right next to him. It didn''t take long for the ''elves'' couple with a teenage boy to shout Wukong, his nickname from the distance while waving their hands, slightly twitching his eyes, Fuk walked while trying to hide his face, if Cloud was the only one that did that he could understand but he couldn''tbelieve that two adults, seemingly older than him shouting without hesitation, like at all in a public. At the time both of Fuk and Walnut reaching their place, Ellisar with his big grin gave Fuk a big hug without any real reason, and Cloud was trying to pet Walnut. "Ah, careful, she isn''t good with stra....never mind." The skinny teen was naturally patting Walnut''s head and said "Khukhukhu, FYI my Animal Handling skill is level 12." Said Cloud. "By the way, as long as your Animal Handling is level three, it seems it will be fine to touch a stray animal." Cloud... somehow explaining that kind of thing without no one asking. "...I see."so the limit isn''t 10 huh. Fuk thought, as he trying to push Ellisar away. "By the way, where are Mama and Soldier?" Asked Fuk, slightly walked toward Behemoth and calmly patting his head. Congratulations! Animal Handling is now level 5. "They''re busy, Mama child is coming to visit her as for Soldier he has night duty." Said Ellisar. "By the way dear, show Wukong that thing." He continued as he pushed Eilayr. Eilayr, slightly hesitant and took two things out of her Inventory, the first one was a triangle bread, covered in thin leaves. The second one was a bread that had wolf shape, looked exactly the same as the bread that was shown on the TV show he just watched. "OH! I know this bread!" Fuk shouted in excitement, somewhat couldn''t believe that somebody already replicated the bread... unless they had an insane level on their Cook skill. "So Wukong, why don''t you try those?" Asked Eilayr.With Ellisar making a big grin behind her back. "Eh, I just touch a goat." Fuk answered.Unauthorized use: this story is on Amazon without permission from the author. Report any sightings. "Bro, Behemoth is clean. I use Clean on him twice a day." Said Cloud. Right... I forget about that. Fuk thought as he was using Clean to clean the goaty smell that was lingering on his hand. The first bread that he took was the leaf covered bread, golden brown on the outside and had cream on the inside, it sweet, but not too sweet, the texture was crisp, almost felt like he ate a wafer and it had a unique aroma. "...oh... I remember. This is pandan leaf right?" Fuk said. Simultaneously with his words, Eilayr''s mouth changed to a smile. "Finally someone says something except ''Tasty'' and ''Delicious'' so? how does it taste?" She said, slightly looking to Ellisar and Cloud. "Eh, the taste is good, maybe if you can make the colour slightly less brown, and make it a little bit thinner." Said Fuk, finishing her bread and taking the wolf-shaped bread. It was crunchy, rather than a bread Fuk could say that this was more looked like a cookie that he ate in every Chinese new year. It had a slight orange flavour and aroma but "...Sorry, my taste bud still messy. Let me taste it again, Clean." But the strong pandan aroma still lingered both on his mouth and his nose, completely making him unable to judge the bread. "...It''s not too bad maybe. Can I have the rest? Will give you the review after I eat that for breakfast." "Sure, sure, and, what do you think? can I sell those?" Said Eilayr. "...Are you trying to do a free consultation?!" After he finished his words, it was proven as his Bargaining Skill raised to a level 2. "Oh my? Am I? I wonder hohoho." Said Eilayr. Sighing, it wasn''t like he didn''t want to help them but he already experienced when he gave people a free consultation, they would keep asking more from him. "...Just this once, I need to feed my stomach too." While Fuk was explaining everything, the ingredient price, the promotion, the profit target et cetera both of Ellisar and Cloud was gone; looking from some profitable ''request''. By the time Fuk was done, they already got back and as Fuk walked toward the gate. Another human-like figure appeared, but rather than a hunched shady figure, this one had womanly body shape, its body was made from the branch and its hair was made from the leaves. "Heya~ New Candidate?! Can you help me doing some favour?! can you? Of course, you can! In the middle of this jungle, there''s this weird looking mushroom! Can you defeat it for me?! Can you? this mushroom always peeping whenever me and my friend are taking a bath! And don''t worry, don''t worry! There''s a reward if you can defeat this mushroom! Oh by the way! Fire is forbidden in the jungle!" ....Fuk was somehow surprised by the differences in attitude from the quest givers. And this time he even didn''t reply her and the plant like lady already provided him with the quest. Though. "Eh, is the quest repeatable?" He asked at the trio. "Nope~ It''s one time only, and the condition in every dungeon is different, though, until this day, no one has found the said mushroom." "Eh... I see." Once they were entering the jungle, Ellisar explaining everything at Fuk, there was a party that gathered information about the minimum value to level up, each monster value, and et cetera. For the comparison, from Level 1 to level 2 they needed 300 ''exp'' or equal to 300 zombies or 300Radishu. 600 exp was needed to raise someone level to level 3 and 1000 exp to level 4. As Fuk was catching up with all of the information, something about the restriction didn''t apply in the safe zone or to the monster and et cetera. Their party single-handedly killed the radishes with a pair of foot and arms, Radishu. Flying pumpkins that could spew fire, Jack-o. Onions thatused its sprout as a whip with vine spring as its tools of movement, Onionspring. All of this happened while Walnut was opening her mouth and sticking her tongue out of Fuk''s robe as her face was hammered against the wind. Two hours later, the blackthorn staff broke and disappeared. "Ah, crap." Said Fuk. Though, both Ellisar and Eilayrsomehow already knew that would happen when they watched the supposed spellcaster using brute strength and swinging the staffto beatthe monster. Not long after Fuk''s staff broke they reached their third safe room. A tree with a hole that somehow was far bigger than the tree''s volume, with a homemade pond located right at the middle. Already tired and needed to wake up early, Fuk was the second one that went back after Cloud. All in all, with the pleased face Walnut immediately went back to her bed while Fuk was making the notes about the list of skills that he got today. Throw Anything Lvl 1 > Lvl 2 Strong Arm Lvl 3 > Lvl 4 Nimble Brawn Lvl 4 > Lvl 5 Intimidation Lvl 2 > Lvl 3 Athletic Lvl 4 > Lvl 5 Calculation Lvl 1 > Lvl 2 Increase Aggro Meter Lvl 3 > Lvl 4 Fast Handed Lvl 1 > Lvl 2 Staff Weapon Mastery Lvl 2 > Lvl 4 Pole Weapon Mastery Lvl 2 > Lvl 4 Energy Bolt Lvl 5 > Lvl 6 Merciless Blow Lvl 3 > Lvl 4 Swift Step Lvl 4 > Lvl 5 Steal Lvl 2 > Lvl 3 Item Identification Lvl 4 > Lvl 5 Jack Style Lvl 1 > Lvl 2 Soul Tap Lvl 1 > Lvl 4 Dark Blast Lvl 1 > Lvl 2 Slow Lvl 1 > Lvl 2 Cp gained: 24.

Sleep Resistance is now level 4. Alert! You have received an ailment "Flu." -10% at physical attributes (Health and Stamina will be unaffected.) Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill "Disease Resistance" Lvl 1! "....I''m going to call you Navi from now on." Sitting up, Fuk looked around to search for a tissue. Though rather than a tissue, he found something that far more disturbing. Congratulations! Due to being the first candidate to name our system. You have earned +1 Control, +1 Presence, +1 Reaction. The "Namer" class is unlocked to you! Congratulations! The "Namer" Class is available to you! Alert! Notifications to all candidate. Due to the order of ''Namer'' class owner, the official name for our system is now Navi! "....Yes?" Holding his painful head, Fuk blinked for several times, hoping that it was a very bad joke, then he came to a sudden realization that it wasn''t. "Wait!! I''m joking! System! I mean Navi! change it back!" Fuk''s shoulders shuddered, he just couldn''t bear the thought of the System that controlled the way his body worked named after an annoying reminder from the game he played when he was a little kid. Alert! Notifications to all candidate. Due to the order of ''Namer'' class owner, the official name forNavi is now System! Fuk rubbed his head as his headache became more unbearable and regretted the prank that he did last night. Sighing, he sat back and opened the class screen.

Fuk spoke, it took a little less than 1 minute for his Flu to completely gone. Feeling somewhat better, Fuk preparing the breakfast for him and Walnut. Carefully opening the fridge, Fuk didn''t see anything in it, it had been a while since he resupplied his stock, shrugging his shoulder, Fuk took the wolf bread from Eilayr, as Walnut half-heartedly eating the cat food. About 20 minutes later Fuk finishing his breakfast and went to his workplace. By the time he reached the entrance his Walking Skill increased to Lvl 7. After sitting in his office, gulping the water and feeling better, he went to the kitchen to help with some preparation. And unlike yesterday and the day before, there were several people ordering some breakfast from the cafeteria, from their messy hair and bagged eye, it wasn''t that hard to realize that those people had been working overnight. Without nothing else happening, Fuk left all the preparation to Dequinn and once again, resting on his office, while leisurely taking his time to allocate the Ap and learn about his new skills.Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent.

Mana: 25. Knock Knock As someone was knocking the door, with Fast Handed lvl 2 and Fast Movement lvl 4, it didn''t take long for Fuk to sit back in a polite manner as he was continuing his daily job. "Hoo~ Good, good, already working even though it was still morning." "Oh, good morning boss." Said Fuk, trying to keep his Poker Face while answering toward his manager. "Is something wrong?" He continued. "Nay, it''s justMr. Dominique from the research team is planning to create a bbq party. Why don''t you go to Mr. Dominique and offering our service to him?" ...Do we get paid? And how the hell is that our job?That... was what Fuk would say if he already bored with his job. "Gotcha boss, Mr Dominique eh? from what division? any special characteristic?" Said Fuk. But the manager only answered him "Just ask someone from that team." *** Asking someone from that team my ass,Grumbling in his head, Now Fuk was walking among a soft clattering of machinery.He came to a glass panel set in the wall and looked through it, searching for someone with a name tag Dominique inside of those dimly lit rooms with nothing but the machines met his gazes. Though as he strolled around the labyrinth-like room, he saw a woman sat in front of a bizarre, complicated machine that seemed to be sorting hundreds of test tubes, rotating them, counting them, labelling them, and finally delivering them into her hands. As the woman shaking another tube, slowly waiting for the colour to change from the transparent liquid into a bright purple. Fuk saw her raising her head and found Saiko, full of concentration putting a milligram of something into another tube. And in the same room as her, a quirky looking middle-aged man with a thick rounded glasses was watching his subordinate. He noticed someone that wasn''t wear something white and raised from his seat. ....That''s Mr. Dominique?! Said Fuk in his mind as he watched him slowly walking to his direction. "Whaddya want?!" Unlike his small and thin appearance, the thunderous voice that came straight from his mouth was enough to make everyone looking at their direction, all except the people on his team. As for Fuk, trying not to twitch his eyes introduced himself and explaining the whole situation. "So yar the helper?! Good!! Now go prepare everything and make sure to make something great!!!" .......Somehow I have a feeling that I won''t get a single cent from this activity. Chapter 21 Congratulations! Cook is now level 5. Congratulations! Cook is now level 6. Congratulations! Fast Handed is now level 3. Congratulations! Poker Face is now level 3. Congratulations! Cook is now level 7. Much to Fuk''s dismay while he was grilling the meat, they sat on the picnic cloth, seemingly weren''t enjoying the bbq party. What was most annoying was that his manager, John joining with their circle and almost immediately ate whatever Fuk brought to them. Weirdly enough, John was the only one that truly enjoying this barbeque, he barked the inappropriate dad jokes and most of the other attendant turned their head and forcing their laugh and smile. Though... from among them one person, Dominique sincerely laughed at John jokes. With a grin, he replied John dad jokes with his chemistry pun, then others would laugh, then John would reply and others would laugh again then Fuk brought the foods and went back to the grill. In this regard, Fuk felt rewarded as he didn''t need to hear all of their jokes, though constantly feeling the heat from the furnace, it wasn''t weird at all for him to gain Heat Resistance or Fire Resistance skill, and at around the time Fuk thought about this. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Heat Resistance Lvl 1! Alert! You have reached the skill limit. Spend 1 Renown point to increase the skill limit by 5! Fuk nodded in satisfaction, finally knowing the purpose from Renown, though... he somewhat felt a little bit disappointed knowing that there was a limit on the number of skills he could get. As he opened the screen, messaging Ellisar and the others, trying to gather more information about Renown, Saiko stood and came to Fuk. "...Hey." She spoke, which caused Fuk to stumble a little bit as she making the first conversation. Fuk turning his head and lightly coughed. "Wait a moment, it isn''t ready." Fuk said as he closing down the screen. "...No...Can we speak for a minute?" Hearing her offer, Fuk only shrugged his shoulder and replied. "Eh, sure. Something wrong?" He said as he studiously watched every corner on his meats. Sighing, once again she opened her mouth and made a small whisper. "...In private." Rolled his eyes, Fuk took a quick glance to the other. "Eh, I can''t leave this place. Anyway, just talk, it isn''t like the other will notice us."The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. Although hesitant, her mouth formed into a line and once again she spoke. "...Candidate?" Hearing her word, one word to rule Fuk''s attention, he rolled his wide opened eyes to her. He already thought about this when she slapped him but he just couldn''t find the right word to ask her. Albeit a little bit surprised. "Yep." At Fuk''s word, her lip curled into a little smile. "...I see." And she just silently stood at his side. A heavy silence settled over them, thicker than the uncomfortable jokes from the two middle-aged men. Their eyes glanced at each other in the fixed interval while trying to avoid catching other glances that passed by. Awkwardly facing the other, carefully watcheda man shifted uncomfortably in his seat, others made theirforced smile under the barrage of bad jokes, and evensome tried to hold back their yawn. "So... what do you want?." After a few minutes, Fuk spoke to the woman that only stood next to him,no reply, no remark, only silence. "....Am I a bother?" Fuk shook his head. "Not really... it''s just weird, you know, like when you are ordering a pizza and they don''t cut it? yep something like that." "....I don''t get it." "Eh, forget it." Putting the meat onto the plate, Fuk walked away. And honestly, he didn''t think that Saiko would silently stand next to the grill, waited for him. Giving her a weird look, Fuk continued grilling another meat and once again. "...So...what do you want?" "....Am I a bother?" Twitching his eyes, feeling that he just experiencing a deja vu. "Not really... *Sigh* Alright, alright... let''s try something else, how about the food? is it great?" Saiko nodded, though after their conversation got stopped once again she spoke. "...Is it fine to open the screen in front of everyone?" "Oh... about that..." Fuk briefly explainedabout everything that he knew and gathered, about the attributes affect, the list of class and their skills, exploiting the rule and et cetera. As he was explaining everything Saiko, holding her chin sometimes replied with a nod or small words such as ''I see'' or ''I see'' or ''I see'' and ''...so you''re the one that changed its name.'' After finished Fuk asked. ¡°Is this what you wanted to talk about? By the way, what''s your class?" Seemingly satisfied, her mouth curled up into a slightly big grin, and this time without hesitation she opened her status screen, showing Fuk her class and explaining everything that she knew. Saiko Patricia Hattori. Level: 2 Class:Martial Artist (+4 Str, +4 Agility, +4 Reaction, -4 Resistance.) Renown: 2 Health/r per minute:165/1.29 Mana/r per minute:154/0.97 Stamina/r per second:126/1.30 Capacity: 85 Slot: 22 Strength: 32 +4 = 33.

Presence:19 Perception:13 Control:34 Willpower:13 As Fuk was reading her attributes, there were too many things that bothered him, though... "So,what''s up with Patricia?" "....My middle name, got a problem?" "Oh... how about unique class? ah I mean a class that only has 1 Cp. have it?" "....No." Without thinking about it too much, Fuk dropped the rest of his question and continued to concentrate on his cooking while Saiko, stood right next to him, seemingly didn''t want to hear another dry joke. Chapter 22 Thalan Jungle. The seething mass of humanity dressed in whitish iron armour, jostled, shouting, baying for something about order and justice. Fuk knew they were a trouble not by sight or smell, or through personal conversation. It was clear enough for him to realize they only saw everyone as pixels on a screen, their eyes clearly told that they were the one that should stand above everyone, the one that should be responsible for everyone action and safety. "And thus, anyone that tried to use this power to oppress normal human shall be hunted and judged. For anyone that tried to hide or protect those people, they shall be treated as a criminal." For someone to talk about order while being surrounded by the crowds armed with clubs, sticks, a few flourished swords or other deadly weapons, they sure had a big gut. Fuk thought as he was watching them, playing with Walnut while waiting for his friends. While wondering why no one was throwing a stone, curiously Fuk used Analyze on the spokesperson. Health: 814/7.22 Mana: 107/0.54 Stamina: 333/3.14 ...Strong, Fuk thought when he saw his health but after giving it some thought, he couldn''t be so sure with just those three as the parameter. Then he analyzed the other members most of them had 800 points in total for their Health, Mana and Stamina. Congratulations! Analyze is now level 4. Immediately after it leveled up, from the massive crowds came strict looking man, Soldier, followed by the ''elves'' couple and Cloud. Frowned, Fuk walked to the Cloud, pinched his ear and pulling him up. "Stop spamming me with your test question." Cloud''s hands and legs were wriggling like a worm in the hot days "Ouch, ouch, ouch yes! yes! I get it! geez, I thought you are a cool person." "What happened?" Soldier stepped forward and asked Fuk. "This brat thought he could cheat on his test by sending the question to me." Angrily, Fuk pulled Cloud''s ear with more strength, but he just continued to say sorry without a single slight of regret showed on his face. ''Teenager...'' Fuk thought. "No, what happened with the crowd?" He asked while shifting his gaze, strictly looking at Cloud. "Eh, dunno, some kind of campaign and election maybe." Fuk replied, letting Cloud away while shifting his gaze to the crowd. ''And here I think I can have a peaceful night on this dungeon.'' Fuk thought. "By the way, what''s the matter? Isn''t you already reached the third safe room?" Asked Ellisar, seemingly confused why Fuk was asking them to gather on the starting zone. "Eh, I''m meeting with a friend, ah speak of the devil." Ponytailed, black gi with a slightly golden accent and golden coloured belt, spiked red cestus covered her arms along with the same coloured iron boots. Saiko walked forward and nodded at the others when she arrived. "Dang... you know, I still believe you are a spellcaster in disguise." Said Fuk. Sighing, "...I''m leaving." Saiko replied, turning her back and readied to walk away. Casually, Fuk grabbed her clothes. "Geez, I''m joking. By the way, the ''elves'' are Ellisar and Eilayr, the brat is Cloud and the soldier looking man is Soldier."If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. "....Nickname?" Said Saiko, giving them a weird look. "Yep, as far as I know, everyone is using a nickname. By the way, this man is Wukong and you''ll be ... let''s see... dear, what should we named her?" Said Ellisar. Rubbing his chin, seemingly having a hard time to decide Saiko''s nickname. "....Wait." As Eilayr was gazing at her face, touching Saiko''s skin and hair. "Black hair, soft white skin, quiet girl... alright! Your name is Snow... no Yuki!!" Answered Eilayr. "....Wait." Then, one particular brat, seemingly nervous, walked as he experienced an earthquake, bowed, offering a handshake and shouted. "Ni..ni..ni..nice to meet you!!! My name is Amar Vad!! No! I mean Cloud!! Bloodtype B! Hobby video game! Nice to meet you!! Wait! I already said that! My goat name is Behemoth! and I''m single!!!" Saiko response was... devastatingwithout saying any word she walked passed Cloud, ignoring his handshake as Cloud was violently shaking, with Behemoth rubbing his head on Cloud''s arms. "Soldier." Said Soldier as he introduced himself and continued. "If you''re living in America and need protection service, feel free to contact me." Though, while they were introducing themselves, one particular shout was enough to attract everyone attention and somehow disturbing the white armoured man speech. "For the example, do you guys want it? Peopleshouting as loudly as they can, making sound pollution without anyone trying to stop them?" "Yep, that''s our signal. Alright Yuki, just accept my invitation and let''s go straight to the jungle!!" Said Ellisar. Less than two hours they already reached the third safe room, in the process Fuk gained a few things, the first one was running reached lvl 7 and Wided-Eye Lvl 5. Next both of Protect and Shell reached Lvl 3 along with Steal reached Lvl 4. Then with several new items such as Earing of Energy, increasing the holder mana regeneration by 50%, Wooden Club, Wooden Shield, Thorn Whip, several Lesser Potions ranked from level 1-5 and some other junk such as monster ingredients. Laying on the floor and resting his head on Eilayr thigh. "Geez! Where the hell is this dungeon boss!" Said Ellisar. "Even though we already circled our way we still do not find a single clue about that mushroom." Nodding in silence, Fuk was protesting about the same thing. As he was preparing the drinks for the other, watching the water poured down, something crossed his mind. This mushroom always peeping whenever me and my friend are taking a bath Immediately he wanted to speak his mind, but he stopped. He continued to think the right word, however, in the process, Fuk must be letting his thought leaked out as now, unknowingly he was staring at Saiko. "....Stop it." Said Saiko, slightly moved awaywhile glaring at him. "Eh...sorry...it''s just...how should I put it... rather than searching for the boss wouldn''t it be better if we use a bait?" Said Fuk, hoping that the others would understand the meaning of his question. "No." Not a second had passed and Saiko already answered. From her reaction, Fuk could tell that she instantly understood the way to attract the peeping mushroom but decided to keep it as a secret. But at the same time, the others were interested in his question. Now the real challenge was how he should put it in the right way, though... thanks to one teenager. "Ah!!!!! I get it!!! So the ladies should take a bath in the pond right?!" Said Cloud, now with his eyes clearly stared at Saiko''s breast and waist. Maybe she already had enough, without saying anything she stood and tried to poke at Cloud''s eyes, either that was serious or she just wanted to give him a lesson, being the fastest on their party Fuk managed to grab her arm. And somehow he wasn''t surprised when hewas having a hard time to hold her arm. "Urgh...C''mon... He is still a teenager. Puberty, remember? puberty...it''s normal...maybe." Fuk said, trying to calm her down while both of their hands were trembling. At least thanks to thehorny teenager Fuk didn''t need to say it. No matter what it just sounded so wrong to order your acquaintance fiancee/wife to get naked and take a bath. But... Would Fuk able to convince them? Would hesee every nook and cranny of her body? Would the next chapter finally show sexual content? Find out next time on I Get A System but I''m Still on Earth. To be continued ..... .... "Like hell!!! C''mon you two!! There''s a pond laying over there!! C''mon, it''s for baiting the boss!!!" Said Cloud. Though... hearing his words, somehow by an ''accident'' Fuk was letting Saiko''s arm, delivering a clean jab right to his face, enough to make him flew a few meters away. And... amongst his painful scream Cloud somehow smile, even though the three spellcasters were repeatedly using Heal and High Heal to repair his teeth and his nose. Congratulations! High Heal is now level 2. "FYI Cloud, the monster can''t spawn or enter the safe room." Said Ellisar. "Remember, you reap what you sow." Said Eilayr. "...And Sai...Yuki please hold back." Chapter 23 "Crap.." Right now Fuk silently watched the pile of the wooden fragments. But at the very least his act of destroying the table that he already used since he started college was worth it... maybe. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Axe Weapon Mastery Lvl 1! Alongside with the notification, his face slowly turned into the displeased look when someone was banging the wall, shouting and telling him to quiet down. Not like he could fight back since this was 5.30 o''clock in the morning. "I should''ve moved into a bigger apartment." Fuk said, watching his messy room as he spent another Renown to increase his skill capacity. Right now after spending two points of Renown he should''ve had another 9 empty skill. Sighing, whatever happened had happened. Using summon: skeleton Lvl 1 he summoned a thin walking skeleton, even though at first the skeleton had a hard time to clean the fragments after five minutes had passed it became quite good to do Fuk''s bidding. "...With this and Clean, maybe I can open a laundromat." Said Fuk, as he realized the utilities and the business potential from those two skills. "No... if I can somehow disguise the skeletons maybe I can open my own restaurant." He nodded, lost in his own thought as he kept muttering about the business potential. "Speaking of a restaurant... Cultivate." A 10 x 10 Grid screen appeared in front of his face, following the same procedure as Cook he put a few Jack-o seeds and onionspring sprouts and dragged a bucket of water into those grids. Those were the simple way of using Cultivate, the other way was he entered the personal dimension and manually planting the seeds. Couldn''t wait to see the result from those vegetables, Fuk only grinned when he calculated the money he could save if those seeds could produce a tasty ingredient. At least the Radishu bodies was edible, with their legs being the tastier and their arms being the most tasteless part. "Tony, I''m going to work, after everything is done feed Walnut, play with her and then go idle." Said Fuk. Then Fuk walked away, the skeleton, nicknamed Tony stood straight with a broom on his hand and gave a salute to Fuk as he watched his boss went. *** Almost exactly at noon, as Fuk was resting on his office, a phone call from his father arrived. "N¨« y¨¯u m¨¢fan ma?!" "...Dad, how many times I should tell you I can''t speak Mandarin." "Then learn!! Even your sister already speak it fluently! Hmph! whatever, where are you right now?!" "In my office. Does something happen?" "You sure?! Hmph! It''s just two men suddenly go into the store and interrogating me and your mother about your whereabouts."If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. "...Are they wearing a suit, a black glass and a friendly smile?" "How do you know?! So you do get into some kind of trouble!" "...Dad, no matter how you look at it they are a scammer. Geez, listen to me, first they are going to ask about my condition, pretending that I am their friend then they will tell either I am having an accident or getting into a jail or something like that. Do I get that right?" Though, instead of an answer, all that Fuk heard was the shouting of his dad, yelling at the stranger and driving them away. Not a single minutes had passed and the call was cut off. Curious about the fate of those two people, Fuk repeatedly called his home but didn''t get an answer. Perhaps right now his father was beating them with his wooden sticks, followed by him lecturing those two people and letting them go. or that was what Fuk imagined as he closed his eyes, resting from the stack of the spreadsheets that lay down at the top of his table. At least for today, Fuk didn''t want to bring his work back or did an overnight shift. In the end, without meeting or socializing with anyone he spent the rest of his day working on the spreadsheet. Rewarding him with: Congratulations! Calculationis now level 3. Congratulations! Sleep Resistance is now level 5. Congratulations! Mental Resistance is now level 4. *** Three hours later after everyone went home, Fuk with dropped shoulder walked to the nearest coffee shop. Getting his daily dose of coffee and while he was waiting for the owner to brew his coffee accidentally he heard a group of high schoolers, talking about the infamous Mr.Tux like they didn''t have a single worry about the world. "...Haaah... It''s good to be young, right owner?" Fuk said to the pencil moustache owner. As he brewing the coffee, he only smiled to him. "But you''re still young. By the way, v60 or Kalita?" "Eh... Kalita is fine, just make it thick." Fuk replied. After the coffee was done he handed the money and went back into his apartment with a cup of hot coffee on his hand. As he was walking while drinking the coffee, there was something that didn''t feel right, the weird feeling inside of his stomach shouting at him. Telling him to get away from his position. Trusting on his instinct, Fuk jumped away for a few meters and right at the place he stood a second ago something flew. It was fast enough until the only thing that Fuk could see was only its silhouette. What followed this was a crashing sound like a car had just rammed into something. There was no explosion nor heat, the ground just shattered and throwing the shrapnel of rocks right at Fuk''s face. Fuk reflexly used Barrier, defending himself from those shrapnels and as a result raising his Barrier into Lvl 4. Though, as a result, his Barrier completely destroyedjust because of those shrapnels. Suddenly remembered about the penalty he looked around, and weirdly enough even though the time still 10 P.M, no one was walking on this area but slowly the windows were opening and people began to stick their head out. Watching two silhouettes leaping away from the street. But as they naively looked at the ground, another hole was created, this time on the house wall, followed by the car was destroyed and another hole on the ground. And then when they started to snap and took their phone, began to call the cops, two figure, one was wearing a mask, brown robe and brown hat with awhite bone staff on his hand. The other one was a manly figure, cloaked by a shadowy cloak that floated around his body, his face was covered with the same black shadowy scarf and his fingersclasped a few throwing knives. "Analyze." Said Fuk, doing the Analyze lvl 4 to the ??? Level: 5 Class: Juggler (+4Control +4 Dexterity, + 4 Precision, - 4 Willpower) Renown: 22 Health/r per minute: 200/1.22 Mana/r per minute: 49/0.33 Stamina/r per second: 318(297)/1.31 Capacity: 97 Slot: 30 Strength: 40 + ?? Constitution: 19 Endurance: 36 Durability: 27 Agility: 43 + ?? Dexterity: 61 + 4 Reaction: 44 Precision: 42 + 4 Intelligence: 6 Wisdom: 8 Focus: 9 Resistance: 31 Presence: 18 + ?? Perception: 24 Control: 25 + 4 Willpower: 17 - 4 Chapter 24 There were several things that bothered Fuk''s mind right now. First, whoever this anonymous person identity, he was freaking good. It wasn''t like Fuk an expert on fighting or battling but his method was brilliant. He always opened his attack by breaking the ground, making Fuk leapt and followed by another chain of attacks. Even though one knife was enough to break Fuk''s Barrier, he could overcome the ??? barrage by using barrier as a stepping stone and using Swift Step to control his direction but it wasn''t like he could do this for forever. Right now he already used 100 Mana just for the defensive purpose and then the second problem arose. With Fuk''s list of movement skills and Slow, running away wasn''t a big problem but the big question was to where? Somehow no matter where he ran or using Hide ??? always found him. Lucky for Fuk''s both of his Slow hit the ???, though even after spending another 70 mana, whenever he wanted to do a close combat the third problem arose. Whenever ??? already entering Fuk''s range of attack, he could evade it like an eel being caught by a bare hand. The fourth problem, Fuk was too bothered by the coffee that he had before, it tasted good and rich of flavour. The fifth problem, Ranged combat was a big no. After seeing ??? could easily block his Energy Bolt, Fuk already stopped doing that after the fifth shot, that was another 25 Mana used. And then the last problem. "This is police! Stop your activity and lay down your weapon or whatever you two are using!" Even though only a few minutes had passed, there was a ton of police chasing after their trail. Though, thanks to Mask of No One Fuk didn''t need to be bothered about his identity. Mask of No One (E): The wearer will appear different. When someone wears this mask their blood type, dna, voice, fingerprints and et cetera will be untraceable. Their height and weight will appear different to anyone that see the wearer. Any act of seeing the wearer personal identity will be negated. Anyone that sees the wearer wears the mask can''t be fooled by this effect. When Fuk thought this couldn''t go any worse, in a light speed his expectation was reduced to the dust when ??? started throwing his knives at the police and the rest of the surviving police started shooting at them. Congratulations! Barrier is now level 5. Congratulations! Increase Aggro Meter is now level 5. Though, Fuk only frowned when he saw their bullet only did around 10 to his barrier. ...So this eel throwing power is far greater than a bullet huh. Well, considering 13 damage is enough to make a crack on the stone wall so to completely destroy a street in a single strike it must be somewhere above 40 huh. Still, being barraged by the bullet, both of Fuk and ??? choose to cover their body, they might able to react fast enough to evade one bullet, but the rain of bullet was out of the question. Though, at the very least Fuk had another chance to Analyze ??? ??? Stamina: 318 (107)/ 1.31A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. Fuk Stamina: 211 (105)/1.70 Huh... interesting, I guess the running and jumping form is affecting the stamina consumption rate eh. Still, I wonder if I can keep this up, moreover as we are hiding like this in three minutes his stamina will be full again eh. ...should I ask Saiko to back me up? ...No, too far and her attributes is too low either. And another one hour and a half before the dungeon open eh. "...Fuk, and I only had 55 mana left." Fuk muttered, as the loud sound and the golden projectile finally stopped flying to him. And didn''t want to leave this chance, once again he took his stance but this time already made up his mind, Fuk used Jack Style Lvl 2, Attacker Style, increasing his Stamina by 20% along with +4 to his Str, Agi, End, and Reaction. Alongside this, using Soul Tap lvl 4 he changed 25 points of his Health into 20 Mana. Leaving him with exactly 35 Mana. "Grh..." Fuk groaned as he felt some part of his body was being blended into Mana juice. And he ran, still far slower than the speed of light but the speed from 38 Agi, Running Lvl 7, Fast Movement Lvl 4 and Free Runner Lvl 4 was enough to make him soared through the roof like a herd of cheetahs racing through verdant meadows. His long, brown coloured robe whipped back and forth behind him like a hair in shampoo commercial as he flung himself over the roof and the street gap. And this time Fuk ran with one-second head start. As ??? trying to catch up with him, throwing Fuk with the barrage of knives, only managed to scrape some of his non-vital parts, Fuk countered his action by casting Slow on him. Congratulations! Slow is now level 3. As ??? became slower, the gap on their distance became bigger. Though, if he could do this trick and combo from the beginning, but back to the beginning, right now his destination was as clear as glass. With a single movement and without hesitation, he jumped from the top of the 15 story building. Congratulations! Physical Fitness is now Level 6. Congratulations! Falling Resistance is now Level 3. Congratulations! Jumping is now Lvl 4. Congratulations! You have learned the passive skill Swimming Lvl 1! *** 15 minutes later. "....Have you ever heard about Archimedes?" Said Saiko as she walked into the sewer, finding Fuk Drunk the red liquid and slowly increasing his health while closing the cut wound from across of his body and the broken ribs. Though, it couldn''t repair his right arm that was twisted in a weird position. In theory, repeatedly exploiting Soul Tap and High Heal was far more efficient than drinking the potions, but the mental pain and physical pain from the sudden blood loss of the Soul Tap was unbearable to use without someone taking care of his condition. "Grh... The one that screamed Eureka while running naked? Right?" Said Fuk, groaning and panting. "....Why are you remembering about the useless fact, *sigh* whatever... so what should I do?" Weakly Fuk pointed at his right arm. "...Twist it back while I''m using High Heal." He said... without any trace of confident in his tone. "....And if I am passed out, slap me back or pour the potion into my mouth." "....Or just take you to the hospital." She said, holding her forehead while letting a big sigh came from her mouth. "....Yep, that''s an alternative." Saiko rolled her eyes and half-heartedly walked to him. When her slender fingers making the contact with Fuk''s right arm an excruciating stinging pain was unbearable. "...On three okay?" She said then circled her hand and trying to find the right position. As Fuk nodded, taking a deep breath as he embracing himself while remembering the pain he must go through when he repaired the bone on his foot a few minutes ago. "...3" Crack Fuk was in so much pain his complexion turned to ash. His natural golden skin had sunken in tone to something so lifeless enough to make it into his Halloween costume. His eyes closed and hebit his lips, hard enough to make it bleed. "....Gah....You....What happens to the one and two?!" Said Fuk, Panting as he cast High Heal to repair the bone. "...It''ll be a big bother if your muscle tensed. Anyway, should we cancel tonight plan?" "...Eh...It''s not... my call." He said while trying to catch his breath. "...Just ask Ellisar." Said Fuk with his eyes half-closed. "...Don''t you dare fall asleep, I''m not going to lend you my shoulder." Said Saiko... even though Fuk didn''t ask for that. ".........You must be very popular with the man right?" That was Fuk''s last words before he fell asleep in the sewer. Chapter 25 Congratulations! Sleeping is now level 7. Congratulations! Rest is now level 9. Congratulations! Cold Resistance is now level 3. Congratulations! Disease Resistance is now level 2. Congratulations! Skill Growth is now level 3. As Fuk arose from a heavy slumber he was first aware of the coolness of the air and barrage of notifications. The ground was lumpy as if he was on a bed of earth and rocks. His clothes feel as damp as a flower in the dew of the dawn. Half wondered if he was still dreaming as he covered his eyes from the shafts of light that burst from the tunnel mouth. "...Right." Fuk muttered as his memory and will to live began to come back. And somehow had a slight of nostalgia, waking up in the middle out of nowhere just like he used to do back in his college day, but rather than the smell of alcohol or cigarettes he met the stinky smell of sewer and rats. Though, still sitting in the sewer as the warmness of the sunlight stroke his skin. Fuk rubbing his chin as he tilted his head, tried to get the gist of the notification. He understood why the Sleeping, Rest and Cold levelled up, but... he could only shudder as he began to imagine of the things that caused his Disease Resistance to level up. And then another thing shocked his mind. "WHAT TIME IS IT?!" His shout echoed through the entire tunnel. In panic, he took his phone, opened the screen and realized it was almost the time he went to the work. For his former self, this might be a big problem. The smell from sewer had stuck to his body, theblood in his clothes already dried out, and his socks were wet.But with Cleaning Lvl 5, The blood on his clothes disappeared alongside with the wrinkle immediately smoothen. The sewer stinky smell was gone from his body, the same case to his hair and his teeth. And as he stepped out of the tunnel reflexly he used Hide; raising it to level 4 when he saw dozens of cops, patrolling and sweeping throughout the entire river, checking the tunnel as their last spot. ...Wait...why am I hiding?!Fuk thought as he held his breath, trying to not make any sound as several polices and two familiar detectives went into the tunnel. "Huh... that''s weird, I thought I heard a voice coming from this tunnel." Said Lex. "Maybe the suspect hiding in the inside, *Sigh* How could we miss this spot." Said the old detective. But funny enough, when the other entered to the sewer, the old detective silently stood. His eyes were staring at Fuk then it went to the ground, realizing the weird ripple and saw the sunken hollow spot like some invisible man was standing there right now. The old detective rubbed his eyes, and by the time he noticed it the hollow spot was already gone. "She''s right, maybe I should get some vacation." Said the old detectives, as Fuk silently sneaked through the perimeter.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. Stealthily he began to approach the stairway. He walked under the cover of the faint shadows, using Hide while silently waited the rest of the cops that stood in the stairs to walk down. He listened intently until the voices were gone. He quietly walked back into the main street, seeing theseveral white chalks marking that was surrounded by the yellow police line. Congratulations! Sneak is now level 7. Congratulations! Walking is now level 8. Along with those notifications, now he knew the reason why he was hiding from them. Even though he wasn''t the one that killed them, at the very least he felt sorry for them.In silence Fuk stopped for a moment and praying then he stealthily continued his way to the main street, blending in with several other people, taking the bus to his workplace while already realized no matter what he did he was late. The many people sitting on the bus swamped the cab with their muddied silence. The seats and windows shook with every hole that was newly created on the street; jostling the passengers back and forth. The air conditioning pumped through only a few filters, whistling with the extreme pressure; it smelled slightly of diluted gas but Fuk relieved by the fact that his clothes nor his body made the sewer smell. As the buildings slid by the window, there were small movements from amongst the passengers. Someone shifted in their seat, there was a little cough and a mild ''bless you'' and next to his side, one busy looking businessman opening his tablet and accidentally Fuk saw the article that he read. The national crime rate reaches a modern high in 2018, capping a quarter-century decline. The reason for those increased crimes remains somewhat of a mystery, and no single factor is likely to explain it, but there is one big question: Who are they? In the video, the XXX building can be seen lit against the night sky as the authority was chasing after the two figures. Their chased ended when one figure was throwing himself to the river as the last resort, while the other figure, was disappeared by the time the authority managed to corner him down. Up to this time, they are still searching for the whereabouts of those two figures. According to Lucas Wan, an associate professor of human behavioural who studies violence, ¡°In my 50 years of experience and research, but never for one moment in my life for me to suddenly see the sudden burst on criminal activity to the extent that there are more than 60% disparities in yesterday activity and today." Another expert believes that those two figures are connected to the other cases that also happened throughout the entire world. As the immediate action, the UN has planned their meeting to discuss the seemingly two figures and other similar occurrences that they believe could''ve threatened the world safety. "Do you mind?" Said the businessman, glaring at Fuk as he turned his tablet off. "Eh... Sorry." Fuk replied, turning his gaze straight to thefront and rubbing his chin while wondering that even though whatever happened seemed urgent,he still needed to go to his workplace.Making some money to fulfil his stomach and his cat. But even before he got his first paycheck, he already got scolded for 15 minutes straight, listening to Donut''s lecture about life and as the punishment, his paycheck was reduced by 10%. As soon as he went to his office, immediately he dropped his head down to the table, feeling embarrassed because he felt he was like a middle schooler that got scolded by an adult. "....Even though that Donut never really does his job." Fuk muttered, raising his head and began to read and sort the invoices as he made the weekly report. "...At least tomorrow is the day off." Fuk said with a grin on his face as he saw the to-do list on his agenda. 1. Spend the rest of my day-off in Thalan Jungle. 2. Finishing the quest. 3. Visit the weird looking tavern in Thalan Jungle. 4. Visit the tourist group in Thalan Jungle. 5. Selling some of the unused weapons and ingredients. Then he spent the rest of his day like the usual, finishing some paperwork, helping the kitchen and the front service, talking with others employee while feeling smug when he saw people began to pile up in the cafeteria, but another problem arose when his phone rung. As he took the call from Lil Ty, he spoke only one sentence before he closed his call off.Oi! Let''s go to the party tonight!! "....Deja vu?" Fuk muttered. Chapter 26 And there he was. After his work was over, his friends voluntarily picking him up at his workplace and somehow managed to persuade Saiko to join them. Their ride was an ordinary one, just the usual talk about a movie, gossiping about their acquaintances and about the whole strangers and vigilante incident. One person, in particular, Lil Ty. Somehow really got into the last night incident. He even already did his own research and making a blog and forum just to talk about those kinds of thing. Hearing him talking in high spirit and sparkling eyes, Fuk could only give him a wry smile, considering Lil Ty was walking about him right now. Over the roar of music, a distant, hazy chatter could be heard. Fuk couldn¡¯t make out any words, but laughter rang in his ears and wouldn¡¯t seem to stop. The song that was playing got louder, pulling him in and wouldn¡¯t let go. He had no choice but to join the crowd, jumping in a huddled group like potato chips being shaken in their package. And yet even though this was one of the best party he had attended, his mind was floating all over the place. At first, he did enjoy it, socializing with his best friends, laughing and dancing like the rest of the people. But after some time, no matter how much he drunk the alcohol, he couldn''t get into the mood. The alcohol resistance was now Lvl 6. Each amber coloured liquid that had gone past through his throat was nothing but like a water right now. Feeling sad about his body condition, he took one last glass, hoping in his whole heart that this could make him drunk. Congratulations! Poison Resistance is now level 4. Instead what kicked in was another notification. Inwardly sighed, he took the unnecessary rest and opening the status screen, reading the message from Ellisar group, telling him that they wouldfirstly search for the pond. ...This is what they call a double life eh?Fuk thought as his head dropped to the edge of the sofa, he could only wonder how the hell those people he saw in superhero comic book could maintain the balance on their ordinary life and their ''side activity.'' And it wasn''t the physical fatigue or the amount of time that bothered him, but more like the mental dilemma. With a deep sigh, while watching the status screen he guessed that was what made him a human.No matter how much candy life gave to them, humans couldn''t ever have enough of it. They would always ask for more and thatwas what Fuk felt right now. At one side, he always wanted to connect with his friends, his family, having a decent amount of money, and live an ordinary life. But on the other side, hewanted to always explore the dungeon, living every teenager dream to live in the fantasy world, and enjoyed an adventurous life. And yet right now, he didn''t feel that much fun. He wanted to sneak away and go to the dungeon. Finishing the quest and finding another mysterious thing. Though, once he entered the dungeon, he always wondered about his favourite tv shows, the comic that he still wanted to read, many different kinds of food he wanted to eat. As he stared at the rainbow-coloured lights flickered on and off, following the music rhythm, a figure suddenly walked to him, covering Fuk''s face with her shadow.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. "Something matter?" Asked Fuk as he changed his lazy posture, slightly moving a little bit to the side, giving some space for Saiko to sit in. Without saying a single word, she sat and started opening her status screen. "So... what are you planning to get next?" Fuk asked with a bored looking stare at his eyes. "....Novice maybe.. the bonus isn''t that bad. What do you think?" Said Saiko before she put the glass of orange juice into her pink lips. "Eh, well, considering it doesn''t take that much of PP to spend I guess that fine." "...I see." Hearing Fuk''s word, without hesitation she spent 20 points and went straight to the Super Novice. Maybe because she couldn''t contain the excitement or what, Saiko smiled and seemed to really enjoyed herself. Somehow seeing her making Fuk wanted to chuckle, though trying at his best to hold it back, he could only thinkabout the weird kind of people he met in the dungeon. As for example Saiko, Fuk thought she seemed like the serious type loner at a first glance... and he still did think that right now. But much to his surprise, she seemed to really enjoy the whole System and Candidate things. Not to mention she clearly didn''t give the vibe of Martial Artist or the reason why she chose Martial Artist was a big question for him. Then again, shrugging his shoulder he couldn''t think that. It was better to have a clear goal in someone mind, rather than just plainfully allocating your point into some random things. "....Stop your creepy grin." Said Saiko, slightly moving away from Fuk as she noticed his grin. "Geez, don''t need to be so harsh. Anyway, are you free tomorrow?" "....No, I''m not interested with a date." "How do you come into that conclusion?!" "....It''s our day off, moreover, that question is like the most cliche question, ever." "Well, I''m not asking for a date though. It just I wanted to spend the next two days in the dungeon, you know, sightseeing, eating some food, or -" Sighed, Saiko only looked at Fuk while holding her forehead. "...That''s a date." "Eh, whatever. I prefer the term hang out, so how about it? interested?" And once again she sighed, turning her head and ignoring Fuk question. And as they spent the next 5 minutes, then twenty, forty minutes andan hour in total silence, "....Fine, I''ll go." "Eh, what''s up with the change of heart?" Fuk titled his head as he asked that. "....Said the one that did silent treatment." Said Saiko as she looked slightly annoyed. Though by the time Fuk listened to her words, a big question mark appeared on his head, "Ah." He said as he felt an apple just feel right into his head. "Don''t tell me you thought I was mad and giving you a silent treatment?! Geez, what do you think I am? A grade schooler? moody teenager?" Said Fuk. Hearing this, the young girl turned her face around, her shoulders hunched together like she was trying to disappear inside of herself. Even her dark eyes seemed to be attempting to retreat inside his head. As she let her face fell followed the gravity, her ears turned bright red as someone was pinched it really hard. "....Shut up or I''ll change my mind." "Geez, fine, fine. So... how about 12 o''clock? I''ll wait in-" But before Fuk was able to finish his word, three people, first was Methany jumped right on his back. "What''s up with 12 o''clock?! So~ what happened? Did I miss something?" "So~you two are making a plan without us? *Ahem* Then Fuk, do you want to borrow my car?" Said Junior, with the smell of alcohol permeated from his body. "....Ah, I hope there''s a storm tomorrow." Said Lil Ty, with both of his eyes already blankly gazing at the ceiling. ...Somehow, when Fuk was seeing them acted like this, he wondered how could he thought that adventurous life in the dungeon had the same quality as his own life.Eh, It''s fun but somehow this three are more fun than that. At the end of the night, with being the only one that still sober, considering the monstrous amount of police that were patrolling tonight, Fuk was the one that drove each one of them back to their house. Earning him Riding Lvl 3. Chapter 27 Congratulations! Name is now level 2. Congratulations! Summon: Skeleton is now level 2. Congratulations! Summon: Skeleton is now level 3. Congratulations! Summon: Skeleton is now level 4. Congratulations! Summon: Skeleton is now level 5. Congratulations! Summon: Skeleton is now level 6. As usual, the morning started with notifications but it was an unusual notification, in fact, it was an unusual morning as Walnut wasn''t the one that woke him up but instead a walking skeleton, Tony was the one that woke him with the smell of coffee he had prepared. The smell alone was enough to make Fuk''s eyes wide opened, heck... even Walnut was opening her eyes and silently rubbed her head to the walking skeleton. "...Just how the hell you can make this from the instant coffee?!" Said Fuk as he watched Tony pouring a cup of coffee with a grin on his face if he had one. Another thing that made Fuk twitched his eyes was when he opened YouTube on his laptop, all of the videos recommendations was a cooking show. Weirded out by what had happened... he suddenly remembered seeing Tony watched the video on YouTube, but what surprised him the most was right now his account already subscribing the cooking show where the host always being served with the raw food and had a lot of swearing. Though... maybe because of that show, somehow Tony able to speak and his first word of choice was his summoner name, with a C. ...Even though he doesn''t have an ear or tongue. Fuk thought when he heard Tony speak. While wondering what made him different from the rest of the skeleton, Fuk browsed to his skill list and in Namer skill list. Name Lvl 2: 1. Tony. 2.- "...You''ve gotta be joking me." Said Fuk when he realized this, it seemed... the Name skill was activated by itself when he started to call him Tony. "Fuck." said Tony as he put a plate of thick pancake with apple syrup, bowing in the perfect posture with white towel neatly sat on his arm. "O..oh...thanks." Said Fuk as watched the skeleton nodded his head with closed eyelids if he had any and patiently stood while he watched Fuk eating his breakfast. "...Ah, right, I wonder just how strong a lvl 6 skeleton is." Fuk said as he used Analyze on Tony. Tony Level: 6 Class: Skeleton Servant Health/r per minute: 36/0.36 Mana/r per minute: 36/0.36 Stamina/r per second: 36/0.36 Capacity: 36. Slot: 2. Strength: 6 Constitution: 6 Endurance: 6 Durability: 6 Agility: 6 Dexterity: 6 Reaction: 6 A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.Precision: 6 Intelligence: 6 Wisdom: 6 Focus: 6 Resistance: 6 Presence: 24 Perception: 24 Control: 24 Willpower: 24 Confused wasn''t quite a word for him. There were too many questions he wanted to ask. First, why the hell his name was Tony, not a skeleton, though he immediately answered his own question. Second, it had motherfuking Class. Third, if he had a skill slot then.. "...Tony, what''s your skill?" Fuk asked. Although he couldn''t make a smile, right now Fuk was imagining he had a professional smile on his face and Tony began to show his skills, the first one was creating a pair of floating skeletal hand and the second one was creating a skeleton dog or more like a skeleton puppy lvl 1. "...Okay." Said Fuk, though his eyes right now went to the Walnut and even before he even said ''From now on your name is Walnut.'' Name already activated and registered Walnut. "...Haaah... whatever." Said Fuk, he was too tired to even protesting about what was going on. In the end, he spent the rest of his day, training with bone staff, his axe and doing a little exercise of 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, running in the same stop for about 10 kilometres without turning the fan or air conditioner. And as several strains of his hair fell down, the notification came to him. Congratulations! Pole Weapon Mastery is now level 5. Congratulations! Staff Weapon Mastery is now level 5. Congratulations! Axe Weapon Mastery is now level 2. Congratulations! Physical Fitness is now level 7. Congratulations! Mental Resistance is now level 5. Congratulations! Athletic is now level 6. And as the clock turned to 12, somehow Tony already prepared one of Fuk''s best casual clothes as he held a comb and a hair wax on his hands....Does he know what I''m going to do?! Somehow... his lifestyle had turned from your ordinary millennial lifestyle to the royalty lifestyle. With a deep sight, he only took the clothes and took Walnut before they teleported to the dungeon, he saw the skeletal figure studiously watching the video with the skeletal puppy biting his leg. Thalan Jungle. "...Okay, that was weird." Said Fuk as he silently watched another candidate, seemingly already created a small town in Thalan Jungle. And like the god of weirdness was following him today, as he patiently watched the gate, playing with Walnut while waiting for Saiko to come. And she did come, with a face as pale as a ghost, she walked to him and spoke. "...Fuck. I messed up." Fuk only tilted his head in confusion while wondering if she was calling his name or swearing right now. And began to listen to her story. *** An hour before. As the group of young woman, busily rummaging through their drawer and bringing their clothes and dresses to Saiko''s room. They, especially Methany couldn''t believe their eyes when they saw Saiko wearing clothes like shewas a character from the 80''s sitcom. "Do you like vintage style?" Said housemate number 1. "...Oi." Said Saiko, though her voice was drowned between the seas of other womanly voice. "No, I guess bohemian is better for you." Said housemate number 2. "I personally can only imagine her in sophisticated clothes." Said housemate number 3. "...No, I''m fine with this." Said Saiko. "C''mon you girls!! Just watch her white skin! she should show more of her white skin! By the way, Fuk like red." Said Methany as she took a dress and began to test her clothes on Saiko. Overwhelmed, she immediately regretted her decision and wanted to cancel their meeting, but... watching her excited housemates, if she said that they would only bother her more. Giving up, she finally tried each one of the combinations anddecided to go with the sporty look. A black tank top, short jeans, a sneaker covered in a red and white varsity jacket and dark blue watch cap. "So, is Fuk going to come or you''ll meet in somewhere else?" Asked Methany as she put the makeup on her face. "...The plan is meeting on a spot." "Oh~ Where~?" Asked Methany, though Saiko only didn''t answer her question. "So~ it is a secret? Damn~ Who would''ve thought you two already have that kind of relationship~." Said Methany half-jokingly. "Say... just in case do you need a rubber?" Congratulations! Poker face is now level 5. Along with the notification, she dragged Methany and dropped her on the corridor, closing the door and with a deep sigh, she began to open the dungeon and teleporting to the dungeon. Though... As the world shifted, the door was opened and Methany entered and she shouted. "Wait! This scarf will look good on.........WHAT THE FUCK?!" While their eyes stared at each other, the last thing that she heard and saw before she went to the Thalan jungle was Methany shouted while she was pointing her finger at her. And the next thing that she noticed was a young man, sitting in his dark green shirt and blue jeans, cheerfully playing with his cat. And with a face as pale as a ghost, Saiko walked to him and said. "....Fuk, I messed up." and she began to tell what happened. Chapter 28 "Oh, I see." Fuk nonchalantly replied to her story. "...I see? I SEE?! I SEE, SO THAT''S YOUR RESPONSE" Saiko''s face moved closer simultaneously as she raised her voice. A little bit surprised, Fuk''s hands were holding her shoulder, stopping her movement as he took a step back. He actually had planned to tell his friends about this whole incident, but he just couldn''t find the right time and reason. Moreover telling them through the phone or social media was kinda an ass move. At least with this incident maybe he could finally tell them the truth. Still, seeing her in sporty clothes kinda made his heart skip a beat. Wait, that''s not the problem! Shaking his head, he lightly coughed and asked whether or not she got penalized. Standing in front of him, she opened her screen and her eyes were wide opened as she began biting her thumb. Curiously Fuk tried to take a peek on her screen but what he got was her palm pushing his cheek. "...Ah, I see." She spoke, and along with the sudden realization, a notification came to her. Congratulations! Due to being the first candidate to be aware of this. You have earned +1 Presence, +1 Willpower, +1 Perception. The "Fake" Class in unlocked for you! "I see what?" To Fuk''s surprise, her lips curled up as she slowly removed her hand. Chuckling, Saiko''s put 1 PP into Fake class and let Fuk saw the result and the notifications. Congratulations! You have gained the Fake Class! +1 Renown. You have learned Fake Class active skills False Lvl 1, and Counterfeit Lvl 1. Congratulations! You have received a reward: Universal ID. Tilted his head in confusion, he wondered what was the catalyst for her sudden gain in Fake. Smiling at him, she began to explain her train of thought, starting from the last rule. Every time a non-candidate seeing a candidate using their skill, he/she will lose one renown. And she said. "In my case, teleporting to the dungeon isn''t my skill, so in a sense, I don''t break the rule as long as we use the function rather than our own skill, we won''t get a penalty. Though, it seems like rather than I exploit the rule, I gain the Fake class because I can treat the system function as the ''fake'' skill." Fuk shrugged. "So... want to take some grub first or you''re planning to go to the dungeon?" Tilted her head, Saiko looked at Fuk strangely. "...Wait, you don''t want to hear it functions?" Once again he only shrugged his shoulder. "Nay, don''t want to hear another exposition, either way, it will be more surprising if I see that rather than hear it, right?" With a deep sigh, her mood went from edgy to cheerfull and went to her usual gloomy self. "...Let''s eat first."Stolen novel; please report. And they silently, and really so silent until they could hear Walnut''s step, went to the weirdly looking tavern, Fuk''s list of destination choice number 1. watching people wore a different kind of clothes, from the smart casual, hipster style, animated shirt, leather armour, completely covered in cloak and robe, metal armour and etcetera. The clothes, the building and the mood alone kinda reminded him of the renaissance festival, though in this case nobody was doing a role play as the transaction, the interaction and the gossip was all real. If he should put it in a word, maybe he had underestimated and overestimated humanity, simultaneously. First, only two weeks had passed and yet it already felt like they were walking in a small city, complete with their own water system, bulleting message and tax. Yes, perhaps he had underestimated of how fast humanity able to adapt. Second, he had overestimated humanity¡¯sdecency to adapt to huge changes, Just why from all of those things they can implement, they choose to implement a tax?! From the conversation and gossip they heard while they were on their way, there were many talks about how necessary the thing called ''Government'' and ''Tax'' would be. Or at least, their potential. Sighed, he couldn''t believe so many things had changed since the last time he went to the dungeon. "By the way, how''s Meth?" Fuk said, breaking the silence that had haunted them. "...Surprised I guess? I hope she doesn''t call a cop." "No, no, no... I''ll deal with that matter. What I meant is how''s her thesis going? or is she still jamming a music every night?" "...No clue and yes." "Eh, must be sucks right? and you don''t seem to be bothered by that." "...The rent is cheap." Hearing her answer, there was a sudden urge to spend 59 Cp in the perception just to know if she was joking or she was dead serious. Though, before he was able to do that they already standing in front of a grassy mount. Below the mount was a red round door and two round glass windows, in the front there were several wooden tables, a wooden bench and circled stone path that directed to the door. On top of the door, a sign with a letter ''Hobbit''s Tavern'' magically floated alongside with the deer shaped smokes. "...Oh, I see this on the internet." Said Saiko, then tilted her head she looked to the Walnut and pointed at her. "...Is she allowed?" But with a grin on his face, like a child chasing after an ice cream truck and with the reality of being too broke to actually visiting the real place, Fuk cheerfully skipped his way to the front door, already forgot about Walnut and Saiko but as he opened the door, what welcomed him was a bulky man, his wide was almost as twice as Fuk''s own body and its height was 8 foot more or less, flying right into his face. In panicmode, he used Barrier to deflect the man''s body, making the angle to slightly repelled him to the floor. And as Fuk watched the unsightly look on the man face that slowly fell to the floor, what entered Fuk''s vision was the wooden chair, stoned floor, deer head, rows of alcohol, and a few walking skeletons, seemingly they were being used as the waiter or waitresses? and on the drinking bar, the curly moustache bartender and the maid was using a plastic tray to cover their head. And then from out of nowhere chairs and bottles flew from one side to the another. On the right side, the group of same modelled white armour people were clenching their weapons and shield. "We believe this place is illegal, moreover you don''t have the certificate to build and do a business." On the left side, the group of different kind of clothes people were throwing a different kind of insult and things at them. Then again, in the middle, a man with extended curly goatee brown beard snorted. "Huh?! Since when you guys become a law? and why should I have that kind of thing? I built this place long before you guys were formed, don''t fuck around with my business you dog shit." "...Fuk, he calls you." Said Saiko as she walked right next to his side, carrying Walnut on her arms. As he heard the dad joke and saw the tavern''s condition, twitching his eyes, his mental resistance raised to level 6. In the end, he scratched the tavern from his mind. And without saying any word, Fuk stealthily closed the door and took Saiko to the street vendors. Chapter 29 Finishing their lunch, without anything else to do, their choice was either went to find the monster or stroll in the town, but silently Fuk touched Saiko''s shoulder and pointed to the green safari bus. With 10$ for each person, they could ride and stop in every hot spot, while in theory, it would be faster for them to teleport to the nearest safe zone and continue their journey, maybe relaxing while continuing to their destination wasn''t a bad choice either. And as they boarded the tour bus, they could hear the other tourists chattering with excitement, some in English and some in foreign languages Fuk didn''t understand. Some tourists considered themselves extremely knowledgeable experts and took it upon themselves to educate everyone about the dungeons and places they were visiting. Some were sitting quietly, peeking out the window and pointing at monsters, some were looking sick and pale as they tried to hold their vomit and few had buried themselves in their pamphlet, memorizing and reading up on all the hot spot; the towered against the sky tree, the coloured rainbow tree, crystal lake pond, the famous hunting spot, rare monsters appearance and the shiny variant and more trees. As the engine vibrated, they rode the bus and patiently watched the bright, flat sunlight pushed through the trees, some trees in the forest distorted gently as if pushed by a gentle wind that eased the trunks, creating a ripple in the surrounding air. The land was smothered on one side by a dense carpet of, brightly coloured flowers. covered the ground and piled up like a snow drift and on the other side was fat mounds of moss, black moss, green moss, and more moss. But rather than enjoying the view, Fuk yawned. Indeed it was a great view, but the lack of mythology and explanation about how it could happen made him lost interest a long time ago. Though several things popped out in his mind. First, how they created the dungeon? was the trees and the environment things got respawned like monsters? Second, how the hell the company could transfer the bus with them? were they just put it into their bag? or they disassembled it into pieces and assembled it in the dungeon? Third, Summon: Skeleton already reached level 7 right now. ...Just what the hell is he doing right now?! Once again with a big yawn, as he looked to the different varieties of plants, Fuk stretched out his hand toward Walnut''s body. But instead of the furry fluffiness, what he touched was a smooth and pampered thin finger, to the touch the finger was soft and delicate. Their finger touched for no more than a few seconds and was pulled away. One thrust back into the pocket of hervarsity and one continued to pat the cat''s body. "...Sorry." She muttered. "Eh, don''t mind it, it just afinger." Fuk replied, continued rubbing Walnut''s fur until his Animal Handling reached level 6. A heavy silence settled over them. Their unsettled eyes glancedto the other passenger, some shifted uncomfortably in their seat and others wiped their sweaty forehead. But unknowingly to them, the guide lady was ceremoniously watching from the front, thinking that both of Fuk and Saiko was having a fight right now. But they shouldn''t fight for long after they see this.The guide lady stood and directed the mic into her mouth, and professionally smiled just before she explained the next object of interest. "And on your right side is the famous love tree, rumour says that for everyone that manages to touch the tree while walking backwards will meet their destined lover, as for the couple, if they manage to walk past the treecentre with their closed eyes their destiny will be bound for forever." Looking to the right side, he saw two trees with pink coloured leaves, intertwined with each other and made the love sign....And where do you hear that kind of rumour?Fuk thought in his mind, thinking there was no way people would buy into her bullcrap, and the fact that this was like their second week since the whole candidate things started, most likely the rumour was something she or her company made up to attract the customer interest. But much to his surprise, others people were very interested in her story.Right...they might not be believing in her story but people like this kind thing eh.He thought as he felt the bus slowly reduced its speed until it completely stopped. "So, we will be stopping for 15 minutes, if there''s anyone that wants to try their luck feel free to try it. And if there''s anyone that wants to take a picture, feel free to ask me or the driver." Following her words, others began to step out of the bus, some were straightening their back, some were aweing in amazement and some without hesitation walked backwardly to the tree, though many were failed to do that simple task.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. As Fuk, Saiko, the guide lady and the driver were the only one left on the bus. "You''re not going down?" Asked Fuk. "...Not interested." "Eh, well it''s not mine either but since we already here, shouldn''t we at least going down and enjoying the view?" "Yes!! You two should''ve done that!! In fact, why don''t you two try it? it should''ve strengthened your bonds and relationship!!" ...Unknown to them, the guide lady already stood on their side, smiling as she tried to convince both of them to try the challenge. "...We''re not a couple." "Exactly as she says." "My, we''ve got a tough customer aren''t we? you two aren''t believing in my story, right? don''t worry, I can give you the proof. A few days ago there was this elvish couple that tried and succeeded with this challenge. And you know what the couple said? They could feel their loves and bonds becoming more passionate with each step they took to the tree." Somehow... Fuk knew who was the couple the guide lady mentioned, though with a deep sigh, feeling that the guide lady will keep bothering them, they stood and silently went to the love tree. As the guide lady nodding with her smug face. "...Now what?" Asked Saiko. Giving Walnut to her. "Eh, I think it''s worth a try." Fuk said as he turned his body and slowly walked backwardsor more likely moonwalking his way to the tree. But then again, although he thought this was a simple and easy task, somehow his body and feet couldn''t follow his brain orders, if he wanted to walk to the back somehow his leg moved to the left, if he walked to the left he did walk to the left. There was no sequence or pattern as his movement become completely random like he was completely drunk. "Damn... hey! Why don''t you try this?! This is pretty fun!" Fuk shouted. Shaking her head, silently she sat as she rubbed Walnut''s head. Patiently waited as she watched Fuk and several other people doing the challenges. Though, after several attempts the grin on Fuk''s face turned into a grim one as he groaned, feeling defeated by the love tree mysterious force. Silently he walked to Saiko and Walnut with his shoulder dropped and sat on her side. "...Already give up?" She said while boringly looked to the others that still tried to do the challenge. Laying down, with a saltyexpression he nodded at her words but not a minute had passed since he lay down, the giggles and cheerful atmosphere change when someone suddenly dropped down from out of nowhere. Surprised, Fuk stood up when he heard a woman was calling the guide lady, while some that were having knowledge in medical treatment and healing skills were trying to help the man, including Fuk. As the man groaned in pain, heavily breathing, twitching on the ground, Fuk and several other men were holding his body down while the seemingly paramedic opened his clothes. And what they saw was truly disturbing, the man''s stomach violently convulsing, as if something was moving in his stomach. If he should describe the scene, it looked like the sci-fi movie where something would burst out of his chest, but this time it was his stomach rather than his chest. And then, even though five people were already holding his body, the man managed to move his limbs and throw every single one of them like they weighed nothing. Flying for a few meters before Fuk fell to the ground, he groaned as he stood while he cradling his painful head. And to make the matter worse, another sick looking person, this time a woman fell to the ground and her body convulsing in the same manner as the man and followed by another man that suddenly became hysterical, as he opened his clothes, showing the others his contracting stomach while he was grabbing a knife, trying to cut his stomach open. "Mystic Stun!!" Fuk shouted as the curse managed to land on the man, stopping his for a second while Saiko instantly kicked the man hands, throwing the knife away. And what followed after this was the first man, with one violent contraction he stood, his eyes turned white and he opened his mouth as wide as he could, or more likely he forced his jaw to set at a lower hinge than a normal human, his mouth gaping like a snake swallowing a buffalo. Then From his mouth, a thigh wide tentacle with a stinger that dripped some kind of liquid emerged. Followed this, his eyes turned white and his stomach burst open, showing another set of smaller tentacles. As he and everyone else equipping their weapons. Fuk used Analyze on the tentacle man. Subject one. Level: 2. Class:Ranger, Infected, Mutant, Undead. Health/r per minute: 312/6.31 Mana/r per minute: 411/3.6 Stamina/r per second: 381/7.31 Capacity: 111. Slot: 25. Strength: 53 Constitution: 12 Endurance: 25 Durability: 24 Agility: 37 Dexterity: 47 Reaction: 25 Precision: 50 Intelligence: 18 Wisdom: 14 Focus: 15 Resistance: 1 Presence: 18 Perception: 22 Control: 16 Willpower: 1 "W..what the f-" Even before Fuk was able to complete his sentence, the big tentacle already pierced the paramedic''s chest. Pulling the paramedic to him as the smaller tentaclesmunched on his body. Notice Sorry, work is kinda hectic right now. Plus my ac is broke. Anyway, it''s been three days and my landlord hasn''t fixed it. I wanted to call someone to repair it, but the last time I did that the landlord didn''t want to return my money, so yeah.The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. Anyway again, I live in a tropical country, and somehow this month is especially hot, like friggin hot. Anyway again, because of this, I haven''t had a decent sleep in the last three days. Plus the amount of work... Sorry for being nitpicky in here. I''ll go to a friend place until this problem over lol. Maybe will write again at November or at the end of the month. Thanks. FIRST WORLD PROBLEM. Chapter 30 Tentacles squirming around at his body followed by another tentacle bursting out from the woman''s mouth as the third person fell to the ground. Gruesome? Indeed they were. But whatever they were, with Analyze Fuk could know all of them had the same attribute except to their class. "Anyone that has high durability takes the vanguard role! spellcaster, especially debuff-er. Follow the vanguard and support them from behind." Fuk shouted. But that didn''t go as he expected, maybe because they didn''t know each other or because they didn''t have any experience. Most of them were standing still, preparing their own equipment as some of them were evacuating to the bus. "Tsk, suit yourself." He muttered. "Mystic Stun!" he shouted as he watched the infected woman moved to Saiko. Congratulations! Mystic Stun is now level 2. That''s already 76, only 169 left. Not wasting any microsecond, as soon as Saiko saw the woman was stunned, she immediately ran toward the infected woman, though as she dashed the stinger tentacle was whipping toward her head. Watching the stinger heading toward her head, with barely enough reaction Fuk used Protect at her but at the same time, Saiko''s skin turned grey as it was made from an Iron. Though, even with Fuk''s Protect and her Iron Skin, the stinger still had enough firepower to crack her ironized skin. But, thanks to the impact of hitting an ironized skin, the stinger movement was slowing down, giving her the time to grab the stinger, spinning her body and throwing the infected woman up to the air. Without saying any word or thinking too much, Fuk calculating the landing spot, the time, and pointing his staff as he cast Novice Art Lvl 2. And threw the condensed ball of energy toward the infected woman. Congratulations! Calculation is now level 4. Congratulations! Novice Art is now level 3. Congratulations! Skill Growth is now level 4. Congratulations! Level up to level 4! +3 Cp. Somehow... Fuk felt relieved when he noticed he didn''t get any renown. But at the same time, he also felt guilty for completely obliterated the infected woman body.Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. Though this wasn''t the best time for that. "Your left boy!" Shouted someone. From the corner of his eyes, Fuk could see the third infected person stinger already arrived right in front of his left ear, using everything that Fuk had, he tried to move his head to avoid the damage but he just couldn''t react fast enough. Gritting his teeth while embracing himself, Fuk indeed felt something hit him, but rather than a pain in his head, he felt like a truck was ramming right into his body. Groaning while cradling his painful head, he turned his face and found, rather than a truck, Saiko was the one that rammed into him. "Thankgod you have short body eh." Said Fuk as he shoved Saiko away from his body. "...Shut up, monkey." Said Saiko as she stood and helped Fuk up. Clenching on his bone staff on the left hand, Fuk took her hand with the other. "Still, you really should have hung a license plate on your body. " Said Fuk as he was spitting the blood out from his mouth and carefully concentrating on his surrounding. "And the other side doesn''t have a good time either." "...Thanks for the exposition. Sherlock." Said Saiko while someone was screaming on the other side. "Just saying." Said Fuk as he took the blue liquid drink from his Inventory. "Anyway, buy me some time, my mojo is all gone." Silently nodded, the thin girl went into her stance and faithfully stood next to Fuk, blocking each stinger attacks that came to them. At the same time, Fuk was drinking three Mana potions and using Soul Tap simultaneously, and less than twenty seconds his Mana already recharged to 112, at the cost of 103 Health. But different from the subject two or the infected woman, this time someone was really bought the time for him, letting Fuk did all kind of preparation. Firstthing first, he spent 25 and used Power Word Lvl 1 to raise Jack Style into level 3and using it at the cost of 60 health/mana/stamina, but as the result, his Mana raised by 45% and his Intelligence, Wisdom, Focus, Presence raised by 8. Congratulations! Jack Style is now level 3. Next, using mass heal Lvl 1 thrice to restore everyone health by 129. At the cost of 39 mana. Congratulations! Healing Mastery is now level 2. With 98 Mana left, now all Fuk had to do was waiting. At it didn''t take long for the subject three to throw his stinger toward them, not like he had any variation of attack though. "Mystic stun!" Fuk shouted as a sign for Saiko to grab the stinger rather than deflect it. Hearing his word with subject three couldn''t move his neck, it was an easy task for her to grab the stinger that directly came toward them. "Oryaaa!!" Saiko shouted as the muscle on her arms tensed and once again she pulled and threw the subject three into the air. Following the trajectory, using Novice Art Lvl 3, the subject three met the same fate as subject two. Though, this time he didn''t gain a level. "Hah!"
