It was a cloudy day. Frasier woke up by the bird's singing. The wind was blowing. It was a beautiful day.When Frasier stood up a large pain struck him from the back as if he had sprained his back. He tried to recall what happened yesterday but was refusing to believe it. It was a dream come true for Frasier to have an ability. He imagined how his stats could increase. Likewise, a screen popped up.

Frasier was astonished by the blue screen. There were few other tabs behind the current one. Each had different titles namely: mission, skills, shop, tips. He opened the mission tab.
5 MILE RUN; STATUS:0
50 SQUATS: STATUS: 0
50 PULL-UPS: STATUS: 0
50 SIT-UPS: STATUS : 0
Frasier was unable to understand what the system had stated. If his hunch was correct, the system gave him the task to accomplish. He carried on observing other tabs. The Mission tab was locked for some reason. It said: LEVEL 2 OR ABOVE REQUIRED TO OPEN "SHOP". So he opened the next tab named " SKills". Which was apparently locked too. It stated: A skill yet to unlock".
Which puzzled Frasier even more than before. Frasier was wondering whether other people new to ability have to go through this. There was another tab that was yet to be opened. It was the tips tab. When he opened the tab, suddenly a creature appeared out of the screen.
It scared Frasier causing him to fall on ground and shouting even more. The creature was wearing typical magician clothes. A suit with a top hat. "Who the fuckkkk are you?" asked Frasier. "I am Kiro," said the creature. " I am also your guide for you to become better known for your ability".
" So you were looking at your tabs, those were your stats. You can increase them by doing the task given in the Mission tab, after doing each task you will be awarded a certain amount of points which you can invest in your stats. You will also be awarded a certain amount of exp points and after collecting the required amount of exp you will level up which will unlock a skill and mission tab. It would be shown in the skill tab" Frasier was refusing what was happening in front of him. " For now, focus on doing your tasks," said Kiro. " wait…." said Frasier but he was too late. Kiro had gone back to where he came from.
Frasier quickly did one sit up to see whether the number would go up. The number actually went up. But there was a timer now, meaning he had to finish the tasks before 2 hours. " Oh, shiiit," said Frasier in a rush to get ready for his workout.
He changed his sleeping clothes to a white hoodie with black trousers. When he stepped outside he made sure to lock the door because he didn't want to end up like last time when a stray cat came in through the door and broke everything.
He started walking towards a nearby park. When he arrived there he carefully planned which exercise he should do first. " I should do squats first because it involves legs. After that I should do pull ups because if I do running first then it would be too hard for me, after that I should do sit ups to recover from exhaustion and top it off with a 2 mile run," said Frasier. According to him the plan was straight forward but in reality it was not.
After doing squats he was already tired but he had to keep going . He kept doing his workout and managed to get pull ups done with. Now there were only sit ups and running left . Frasier was worried about running because he hadn't eaten his breakfast which could slow Frasier down.
When he was doing sit ups strangers walking by kept giving him disgusting looks as if he was a dirty insect. That's what society thought of those people who didn't have any abilities. But Frasier was different now, he had an ability. According to him the ability was not good but it was better than nothing.
When he was done with sit ups, he only needed to run 5 miles in 28 minutes. It was quite tough and Frasier didn't want to know the penalty for exceeding the time limits so he started sprinting. He kept checking the screen to see how much was left.
After 20 minutes of struggle , he managed to run 3 miles which was very slow. He needed to run 2 miles in 8 minutes. He kept moving forward until he met the same bullies 2 days ago. He tried to avoid them because he was not strong enough to take three of them at the same time.
The timer was ticking, Sweat from Frasier's head was dripping. Bullies' knuckles were cracking , For Frasier it was nerve wracking. " Shit ! why now!" said Frasier. " You're ready for round two, " said kevin. Frasier pretended he didn't see them and started running.
Meeting those bullies was a big setback for Frasier especially during his workout. Frasier examined the screen once again to see the timer was down to 6 minutes. " Is it possible to run 1.8 miles in 6 minutes ?" thought Frasier. He started to lose hope.
He thought he lost those bullies at the back. But when he turned around to see they were just behind him . " How did they get here so fast?" said Frasier . It was eye-opening news. "You think we haven't improved our stats? " said Jack.
Frasier was losing hope . "It's not time to give up yet!" he said to himself in a assuring voice
. "Think about all those sprinting punishments, I won't let it go in vain " he said to himself yet again. Out of nowhere Frasier found his hope again and started to sprint even faster.
2 minutes left and 0.05 miles to run. Frasier kept sprinting even though his legs had enough. 1 minute 0.02 miles left. The bullies were still behind him. 30 seconds 0.1 miles left. Frasier was getting pumped up. Wattie out of nowhere kicked Frasier from the back causing him to stumble and fall down.
" Where are you running "said Wattie . 20 seconds, 0.009 miles left. Kevin used his dominant touch ability and threw Frasier towards some trash cans. Jack plucked screws from Frasier's fingertips. Frasier was groaning loudly. 10 seconds left,0.001 miles left.

Frasier knew he couldn't do anything now. He was ready for his forfeit. Kevin was calling Frasier but he was spaced out. Kevin got angry and threw him away.
[Congratulations! You have completed the task and your reward will be sent to your inventory.] Frasier couldn't believe what he saw . But the real problem was still present the bullies .
He was being attacked from all directions.
The screen popped up by itself. It was glowing bright. [Health is insufficient!] . [Auto use points activated.] Which meant all the points he was awarded would be invested into the most important stat right now.
All of a sudden Frasier's hair started blowing and his eyes went glowing red . Power was running wild in his body. He also recovered from the damage which was done to his body just now. All the bullies hesitated and stepped back by the sudden change in Frasier's appearance. Frasier checked his stats

His stats have changed a bit. His strength stat was increased by 2 and reaction time by 3. He began walking towards the bullies. They were intimidated by a single person. They were shivered to bone. " Don't be intimidated by an insect like him " said Wattie
. He was trying to encourage others to attack.To his surprise it worked but not for long. Jack used his nail drilling. Frasier started running towards him.
" You can't use your ability to a certain degree to attack a moving target." said Frasier. Frasier punched kevin and he went flying into a wall. He didn't stopped there. Frasier kept attacking kevin. Wattie and Jack were frozen by fear. The laugh of Frasier made the atmosphere more intense. Till Jack gathered up all his courage and said " That's my friend you got there" and used dominant's touch.
" You know why it's called dominant's touch because you need to be dominating to use this ability' " and reversed the ability. He repeatedly punched Jack till he was close to dying. After finishing up those two, he slowly walked towards Wattie who was on his knees begging for forgiveness.
Frasier didn't had any remorse for Wattie. Frasier wanted to finish it once for all and threw a right hook . Something erupted his punch something strong. Which caused Frasier to retreat. " Don't let me see you roaming around these streets" that person.
