In the backyard of a small house located in the peaceful village of Oakheart, a young man was sweating so much while doing push-ups.
"1997... 1998... 1999... 2000... Finally done..," Ronald said while breathing deeply.
Just after he finished his push up, a notification immediately appeared in front of him.

Task Complete
Reward: 100 modification points

Seeing the reward, Ronald smiled.
A week had already passed since Luna told Ronald about the changes in the system. Everything that Luna said can be summarized as;
First is the additional title, Chosen.
Luna said that, as a Chosen, one must be the peak of each world. So, the title, Chosen, was not only a blessing but also a test for each chosen. As the title has a peculiar effect of not allowing to advance a level if you have not reached the maxed stats of that level.
In normal cases of advancement or leveling up, one only needs to achieve an average stat of 600 and complete an advancement quest to level up. But for a chosen, one must need to achieve the max average stat, which is an average of 1500 stat points and complete a difficult quest assigned by the world to advance. Although, it has the advantage of absorbing the maximum amount of energy that can be absorbed from a killed beast, which is 0.01 of the beast's total stats, unlike normal cases, that the amount of stat points you can get, depends on how high your talent is.
Then next is his awakened bloodline, which is the silver moon elf bloodline, which he knew came from his mother. Along with the awakening of his bloodline is his bloodline form, which uses moon energy to activate it.
Activating his bloodline form will give him a huge boost in his stats, especially in his dexterity, intelligence, and wisdom stats. Along with the boost, are a set of skills only available in his bloodline form;
---
Moon Glide (Active) - lv 1: Reduces the weight of the user's body by 90% when activated, causing the user to float and freely glide in the air for a period of time.
Cost: 10 moon energy/minute
*Note: Skill can only be used when the bloodline form is activated.
Enhanced Vision (Passive) - lv 1: Grants the user better eyesight and night vision.
*Note: Effect is only available when the bloodline form is activated.
Sword of the Moon (Active) - lv 1: Uses moon energy to condense a special sword.
Accessible sword:
1st Sword of the Moon - New moon
Cost: 100 moon energy/minute
*Note: Skill can only be used when the bloodline form is activated.

Ronald hadn't tried his bloodline form yet, as aside from his uncle's reminder, he doesn't have enough moon energy to use it, as it required 1000 moon energy per minute to activate it and every night he can only gather 1 moon energy per 2 minutes. When Ronald found how slow the rate he was gathering moon energy, he asked Luna if there is a way to increase its speed, but Luna said that only special potions that are level 5 and higher can have that effect. Although leveling up can also increase the rate of gathering moon energy.
Also, awakening his bloodline not only gave him a bloodline form but also added a passive boost to his base stats; +75 STR, +150 DEX, + 75 CON, +150 INT, and +150 WIS.
Next is "Moon energy", a unique resource that is needed for his bloodline form. Moon energy can be gained by meditating in a special way at night and absorb the energy released by the moon. Only when the moon can be seen in the sky can one absorbs moon energy.
Then, next is
Finally, the
To obtain modification points, one must complete a quest assigned by the system or a task assigned by the guide. This also the reason why Ronald was doing many push-ups, as Luna released a task to him.
---
Task name: A test of perseverance and determination
Task: Do a consecutive 2000 push-ups, consecutive 2000 sit-ups, consecutive 2000 squats, and a 10-kilometer run.
Reward: 100 modification points
---
At first, Ronald can't do the required consecutive push-ups, sit-ups, and squats, although the 10-kilometer run was easy for Ronald as he loves running around in the village as part of his training. So, it took him to complete the task.
"Congratulations! Ronald, you have finally completed the task, and you have also passed my test. Now, let me give you your next task," Luna said after Ronald finished reading the notification.
After Luna congratulated Ronald, a new task screen appeared in front of him.
---
Task name: A Beast Tamer's first step
Task: A beast tamer would not be a proper beast tamer without a tamed beast. So, for this task, you must tame your first beast.
Reward: 1000 modification points
---
While Ronald was reading the task, Luna said, "Ronald, for your first beast, you must select it carefully, as the first time is always important in a person's life. So, have you selected what type or kind of beast your first tamed beast would be?"
"I haven't decided yet. I read my uncle's book of beasts, but I still don't know what kind of beast I am going to tame. Although I want a support type beast, as I want to fight in the frontline and not just give commands at the back. I always wanted to be a warrior since I was a child, so even if I awakened the tamer class, I'll not become a pure tamer (A/N: Also known as a command tamer), but a battle tamer, who fights alongside my beasts," Ronald said as he smiled.
Hearing Ronald's answer, Luna was impressed. For her, a command tamer is only for cowards, and battle tamer is for real men. Although this may not be the accurate case, as there are some strong command tamers, also, not all tamers can fight and command at the same time.
"So, what's your plan now?" Luna asked.
"I plan to just search along the outskirt of the everlast forest tomorrow and hope that I can find a beast to my liking. As for now, I'll prepare some things needed for my search in the forest."
After Ronald replied to Luna, he entered his house and started preparing the things he needed for his adventure tomorrow.
