As Aiden saw this he was happy about it, although it was only a +1 in all stats, it was still making him stronger by any way. Right now he was still weak and none of his stats were even at triple digits, So that +1 in all stats was extremely helpful to him. He was also surprised that Chad had another side like that. He was only lucky that he was taken over by his own emotions making him sensitive to other things. He could only sigh in defeat but that didn't put him down. Now that he had a weird system with him he could even be powerful. But before all of that, he wants to know where it came from and why it chose him.
But before he also figures that out, he needs to be stronger because of many stuff that might come on his way, and the fact that this strange like system could give him skills and abilities, he also reckons that the person who gave him this, had an unimaginable power that might even surpass the current ruler.
It seems that his life will only be more interesting from now on. He opened the system panel again to see what the hidden quest was.
[Overturn the Situation]
[A Nephalem is someone that could even rival the Gods, losing to a human is unacceptable]
This was what he saw when he went to the quests panel, ever since he received his first quest, a quest panel appeared, he was looking forward to the next quests he might get, but first he needed to be prepared just in case the quest is something that's above his expertise.
"I wonder why the system keeps saying I'm a Nephalem, I'm nowhere near an angel nor a demon. I only know that the priest found me at the middle of a church. Although he doesn't know his real parents, there was still a slight possible they could be celestial beings. But right now he was nowhere the celestial world and he was a newborn when he was found in the church.
And if even he was originally a Nephalem, he would've had these abilities and skills already when he was younger. He decided to put all of these thoughts in the back of his mind and just think about all of these when he gets more hints and answers. He went to his dorm very stealthfully, and then he washed his face, because of that continuous punching, more bruises appeared on his face, there were also some stains of blood and one of his eyes also appears to be a little red.
He sat on his bed and now decided to learn about the system. When looking at his stats, there's strength, speed, vitality, intelligence, and endurance. When he long presses one of them, a little summary of each stat appears.
[Strength - Just like it indicates, strength specify the power of your attacks, whether they are mind attacks, spiritual attacks, or magic attacks.]
[Speed - This involves everything in you that has speeds, etc. your agility, reaction time, thought thinking and many more]
[Vitality - Increases the healing of your body, more stamina and increases physique]
[Intelligence - Increases your mana, increases your memory, abstract reasoning, mental representation, problem solving, and decision making and many more]
He was really bewildered since one stat point could improve benefit him in many great ways. He also noticed that he was still unranked, this means that his current stats weren't good enough for even the lowest rank etc. Bronze 3. He just sighed in disbelief and decided to reach at least a 10 or up in all his stats. But first he wanted to know how he can get more quests, or level up. After doing that hidden quest he noticed that he was granted 15 exp. He also saw the note (15/100), he knows how stuff like this work so if he gets 100 exp he would level up, furthermore he would also get stats or some other things.
He was stuck there thinking about what he should do but he couldn't come up with anything else, he rubbed his hair in stress but still couldn't think of anything. He already knows that defeating someone or a beast would give him exp because that's how it usually works. After thinking about that, he then realized he wasn't able to defeat Chad if he wasn't given exp. He was more disappointed now because if his current stats weren't even close to the rank Bronze 3, then how can he expect himself to level up right now.
He lazily dozed off the bed and accidently slept. He slept at about 7 p.m, because of this he woke up earlier than usual at 3 a.m, when he woke up he and looked at the time he didn't move for 10 seconds because of disbelief, even if he wanted to sleep right now he couldn't because for some reason after every time he wakes up no matter how hard he tried he wouldn't just fall asleep. The doors to the main building where the classrooms are open at 5 a.m so he still had 2 hours to spare. He normally reach his classroom at 5:30 a.m and he normally wakes up 4:45 a.m, he stared at the wall for about 10 minutes before he proceeded to take a bath. He finished at 3:24 a.m and decided to cook his meal, he finished cooking and eating at 3:50 a.m and decided to go early. He started doing laps around the school to fill his boredom. He reached the back of the auditorium again. He was bored and decided to see the hell flame and hell fire, although he casted it yesterday He didn't see it clearly.
He thank of the skill inside his head, his right arm became black with white markings and a bright white orange fire appeared on his hand, his other arm turned white with black markings and a red blacky flame appeared. Now that he saw it he was a little intimidated at the color change of his body, but it was somewhat cool as he was almsot drooling over it. He looked for a target to throw it at and saw a broken pole. He thought of making the black flame in his hand, the hell flame strike that pole at the direction Aiden intended. The flame didn't go out even after a minute, 5 minutes and more and it still didn't disappear, he wanted the flame to come back, or disappear, the flame did as it was instructed and came back to his hand. It didn't cost him mana points which was very beneficial for him, and also very broken.
He was wondering when the flames would disappear, the instant he thought about his own flames disappearing, it did as he thought and his arms returned to normal color. He wanted to cast it again but he realized he would be all out of mana so he didn't do it. The main building still wasn't open so he went to the near bench and just sat there for the rest of the minutes, he didn;t go back to his dorm since there weren't any devices or such.
He reached his classroom at exactly 5:00 a.m and not a second late. It was empty and only filled with chairs and tables. He put his bag down his desk hidden. He wants to hide it since people get stuff from his bad without his permission and so. Of course he always do this but in the end some people still find his bag. Sometimes it even worked as a workout for him cause it would be filled with stones.
Even if he entered the classroom, there was still nothing he could do to be relieved of boredom, all he could do there was sit down. He remembered what he was thinking yesterday and decided to continue it right now. He put his head down and started thinking about everything from bottom to top. For some whatever reason, everytime he's immersed into something, the time would gradually speed up and before he knew it, Sara and some other students were already there. From 5 a.m to 5:51 a.m, everything happened in a flash that even Aiden was confused himself. He didn't care about it anyways and just put out the notebook he was gonna use for his class early in the morning.
When the teacher entered the class, everyone greeted her good morning as usual. "Ok class, today is the first day of a new month so you guys know that that means right?" The teacher said abruptly. Aiden knew what it was, it was the ability test. Every first 3 days of a month. He sighed in disappointment because even someone like him with no ability would have to participate. With a dejected look on Aiden's face, something appeared.
[Daily Event Mission]
[Remaining Time: 3 days]
[Win one fight each day]
[Rewards +5 in all stats and 3 blank stats, 40XP]
When Aiden saw this, he didn't know whether to feel sad or happy, he was happy since the stats we're bigger than last time, but sad because winning 1 fight would be hard, because his stats we're even unranked. He could only sigh in defeat, he wanted to know how he could at least win 1 fight each day. He then figured that he can just do a disguise that he awakened a fire ability. He didn't think through it and just decided to go with his plan. After everyone has left the classroom, Aiden went to the teacher. "Umm, Ma'am, I think I awakened an ability yesterday" When Aiden said these words, Mrs. Sneeze replied with a doubtful expression "Lets head to the ability testing area then".
"Ma'am I think it would be faster to show it to you right now" Aiden put his right and left hand out, and casted holy/hell fire manipulation, black and white colors enveloped his arm and two different colored flames appeared. The teacher was surprised by these and smiled awkwardly. "I would like to see you use that in the ability test later, I'm looking forward to it" Ms. Sneeze replied.
7 was the ideal age to awaken because people usually had an 80% chance to awaken, and by the time they get older it gets decreased by 5%, which means that you can awaken an ability if you're 16 lower. Right now Aiden was 15 so he had a 40% chance to awaken and he was simply lucky. When Aiden reached the stadium, the teacher wasn't there yet, he thought that their homeroom teacher just reported his cause so he waited there.
The teacher now walked in and everyone stood up straight. "You may now pick your partner to duel with, please be cooperative and pick someone in your own prowess" Ms. Sneeze said. As Aiden expected, the 2nd weakest kid in class came to him, it was always like this since Aiden was the weakest. The guy who asked him was Evan Doestovesky. He doesn't come from a powerful family, he was just someone who was unlucky to awaken an almost useless ability. His ability was Aquatic Breathing which only worked for underwater fights. Evan only rely on martial art techniques and mana cover. This still makes him more powerful than Aiden.
They sat together waiting for the other people to be organized, it took 5 minutes for everyone to find their own partners. Eventually everyone was given enough space to fight, the teacher then announced a countdown from 3 to 1, after the teacher said one almost everyone was already striking except for Aiden and Evan, it was like they were just staring into each other. Aiden has his wooden sword and was in position, while Evan was in a martial art position.
Evan striked first, of course thinking he had an uperhand, right now, Aiden's mana pool was only 17/30, he wasted it when he used it to show the adviser. When Evan was gonna strike, he was very fast, he was only to barely dodge it, he instantly thank hell/holy fire, his arms turned different colors, he then thank of enveloping his sword with such flames, the flames did as it ordered and the wooden sword was covered with black and white flames, it was also very unfathomable that the wooden sword wouldn't burn into ashes. Evan who was there was in surprise as he saw what happened. There was a guy who used to be abilityless was now enveloping his sword in flames, he had a black arm with cool white markings that seemed to be like stretch markings but in a cool way vise versa, his sword have black and white flame enveloping it while his black domineering crystal eyes stared at him. Was he even the abilityless Aiden that he knew back then.
