Since Alex is a Player, he is far more than a match for most normal Minasian. Even an Initiated Sorcerer like Lucian cannot standup against Alex, at least in physical term.
Alex is also a Level 7 Ranger, and that already makes him more than human.
Class-based Skills and Abilities aside, the System should have granted Alex 35 Attribute Points (AP) for distribution – 5 per level. If he puts all his AP into Strength alone, he should be around 3.5 times more stronger than an average person.
I doubt that Alex puts all of the AP into Strength alone, however. This is because his class – The Ranger – also dependent on Dexterity as well as Strength. The ratio is 3 to 1 if I recalled correctly. That is three Dexterity for every point in Strength.
Even so, Alex will only get stronger from here on out, and I should not fall too far behind.
"I suggest some reading to pass the time," I advise and summon Magneto. "I am going to carve up an Array in this room. As long as you have Mana Crystals on you, you should be able to activate the Array to burn off more of your fat."
Alex eyes me. "I guess that is one way to distract myself. Thanks, Zan. Oh yeah, I repay you a little. Just check the Stockpile if you haven't already. Not much, but I am sure you can make use of them."
"I will have a check later," I response and proceed to carve up a Runic Formation inside the booth itself for Alex. It is not the only Runic Formation I have carved inside the booth – just in case. I also set up a few wards here and there – just in case as well.
Once I am done, I have a check what Alex has dumped into the shared Inventory between all members of the same Party. There are a handful of items in the Stockpile, but only one of each. That is all I need, considering that I can duplicate almost anything via the Shop System.
"I will see you at your Initiation then," I tell Alex afterwards. "Try not to kill anyone before then."
Alex snorts. "I will try to try, but no promises. It is not like I am going around and trigger these fuckers, and I cannot be held responsible for defending myself."
I cannot help but chuckle. "I am sure you can solve things without resorting to violence, but if you do need help, just give me a call. Also, thanks for the payment. Nice doing business with you."
"Right," Alex responses and continues to take my advice, reading some of the books in the booth. And he only does so just to kill a bit of time. "Since you are going to town, tell… never mind. Take your time shopping."
I wonder what is that all about, but I guess it is not important enough for Alex to request my help. He can probably deal with it on his own.
"Seventh Master," Serene greets me outside of the booth. "Did you sleep here last night?"
I let out a sigh. "Serene. I told you to not call me that anymore. And where I sleep is not your concern, as you are my servant, not my mother."
"Please forgive me, Master Kilian," Serene apologizes and wheels me back to my room at my request.
I need to gather a few things from my room before heading to town, as I will stay there for a few days, most likely, but I run into Lucian, unexpected. Well, I expect to have to deal with him eventually.
