"Holy shit! NOOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Bryan shouts at the top of his lungs scaring nearby also-tardy students walking from the parking lot into the school. 'This is it! My Break from my suffering! I shall conquer the world! Firsts things first however, I have to get to class if I'm not there by the end of first i'll probably get beat to death by dad.' Bryan, barely containing his excitement rushes to class as fast as his body can carry him. Bryan enters his class with a tardy slip he got from attendance and hands it to his teacher.
"Why are you late Bryan? Your grades are already terrible and you show up 30 minutes late to my class? Unacceptable!" Everyone in the class snickers at the comment made by the teacher.
"Sorry Mr.Dee Traffic was really bad and I was having car trouble in the morning. This won't happen again I promise."
"Oh, finally gaining some respect I see, hurry up and get to your seat we are just finishing up the lesson." As Bryan doesn't talk much, struggles in school, and is quite poor for the surrounding area most if not all his teachers dislike him. Bryan walks to his desk and feels the Tattoo acting up again, noticing nobody saying anything about spiraling ink coming down from the "T" to form words on his wrist, he guesses nobody but him can see it and looks at the new words being formed.
'78% successful in Lying. You gained 2 Lie fragments.'
'So thats how it works, looks like I have to grind the hell out of these fragment if I want increase my stats, but it requires to lie, what a strange thing. lets check out my stats again and try putting in these points, i'm excited!' Bryan in a whisper says, "Status."

'Lets try putting in one at a time' Bryan thinks because he doesn't know the strain of increasing his stats very quickly can do to his body. He puts one point into strength, then feels a power wash over him like waves, then disappear just as quickly as it appears. 'What a great feeling. I was expecting lots of pain like in the web-novels with game systems. Thats a relief.' Bryan proceeds to put the rest of the points into strength to gauge how much these points give you in terms of power. He feels another wave of power wash over him. 'God I could get used to that feeling, its like I have the power to crush the world with my fingers' Bryan checks out to see if his body has any changes to see a little bit better definition on his still fat body. 'I've got to get more fragments, I'm going to craft the perfect body!'
For the rest of the day Bryan goes through his classes with a newfound energy, and of course lying at every little chance he can get to get more fragments and putting them into strength to see how far he can grow in one day. Once the final bell rings signaling the end of the day, Bryan walks out of the school to his car and on the way tries to checks his status, but right before he could utter the words he spots Harris's smug ass coming from behind his truck with goons in tow, apparently waiting for him.
"Hey little bitch, did you bring my money or do I have to make you drink from the urinal again?" Bryan grimaces from the voice, the voice of his tormentor, the voice of the person who has ruined his school life from grade 5. Anger flashes in Bryan, it starts to boil to the point of no return. Bryan looks at Harris and his 5 goons with a scowl.
"I don't have "your" money you fucker, i'm not giving you anymore, i'm done with this shit!" Bryan shouts as he throws a clumsy right hook to Harris face. Due to Harris being quite athletic, Harris manages to dodge a tad to the left almost evading the blow but still hits him in the shoulder with a sicking crack, Due to the strange angle of the blow and Bryan's newfound strength he manages to dislocate Harris's shoulder, causing him to scream in pain. His lackeys confused by the sudden aggression from the pushover they've tormented for years, stand there with a blank look as Harris clutches is shoulder and falls to his knees.
"AHHHH it hurts, it hurts! kill him! Kick his face in!" Harris screams as his eyes leak a bit of tears due to the pain. His lackeys immediately rush in to attack Bryan, startling him because he does not know how to fight at all. The first one gets to him and punches him in the face, throwing him back as it hits him in the temple causing him to be dazed for a second. That one second cost him however because another one gets to him and kicks him in the stomach causing him to fall to the ground, but he gets up quickly and backs away panting. 'There's now way I can win this, they're too fast and there's too many of them. I have to get away some how.' Bryan immanently turns and runs to the school hoping to find a teacher close by. The goons see this and sprint after-him attempting to tackle him to the ground. As the fastest one closes in, Bryan looks over his shoulder to see how close he is, seeing him gaining speed faster than Bryan can run he decides to turn around quickly to throw a punch at the goon. The goon not expecting him to turn around gets hit in the side with another sicking crack, this one louder than the last. Due to the goon already at running speed, Bryan's clean hit, and his new strength breaks a couple ribs of the goon, and falls to the ground in pain. The others seeing this stop running and back off a bit. Bryan takes this chance to make a break for it into to school. 'Man that was close, but I bet this is not the end of this, that bastard Harris is not the forgiving type.' Bryan hides in the bathroom in the school for a couple hours, then sneaks to his truck to find it all keyed up. 'Fucking hell those bastards, i'll kill them I swear!' Sighing he gets into his truck and drives home. Once he gets home his dad sees the truck and almost bursts into flames on the spot.
"What the fuck is this Bryan! What the fuck! Why is the truck all jacked up? did you get into a wreck?" Bryan's dad yells with an anger that could scare the heavens into submission.
"I'm sorry dad, its Harris and his followers again, they tried to attack me but I fought back this time and they did this to get back at me for hurting two of them." Bryan says with a defeated tone while cowering under his dads anger.
"Those little shits again! I've already contacted the school multiple times yet they keep getting away with this, do I have to go up there to show them?! Useless bastards!"
"No dad don't do that , you know much his dad is respected at the school, the most they'll get is a slap on the wrist and they might even do something stupider in retaliation." Bryan says with a pleading tone as he know's with his family's standing in the town, nothing will change.
"*sigh* I know, I know, its just the hole unfairness of the situation that pisses me off. That damn Ed Kruger i'll get him and his son soon!"
"Speaking of Ed he gave a me a ticket this morning for speeding while I was trying to get to school this morning, I wasn't even speeding." Bryan tells his father about the ticket but lies about the not speeding part to test something.
"Oh great, just what we needed, less money. Whatever give it to my ill take care of it." Bryan feels a pain in his wrist and walks into the house into his room. As he checks the new letters, he sees something he's never seen before. '100% Successful in lying, you have gained one Lying Point. Use it to choose from one of the available talents.'
