Rick awoke to a loud beeping sound in the early morning. Apparently the system had finished upgrading.

'Score! I managed to get three skills and unlocked a lot of abilities. On top of that I can finally upgrade my stats.'
'System! Put one point into Magic Stat!'
'What the hell is this crap!?' Rick thought to himself as his veins bulged with anger.
'You, Stupid System, Are you not supposed to be able to do anything?!'
'Who is the useless one you stupid System!'
Rick was thoroughly fed up with the system constantly blocking him from doing what he wanted to do.
'Fine then place 3 points in Speed and the rest in Endurance.'
'Fine, show me the status.'

Hand to Hand Combat Proficiency is used to show how proficient you are in hand to hand combat. Each level in this class will provide a qualitive upgrade to the damage range Hand to Hand Combat provides. Current Range: 1-10 damage.
Multistrike allows the user to make two melee attacks at once though it requires stamina. This could be two quick jabs or one main hand strike and one off hand strike. Strength bonus is counted both times. Upgrading this ability allows you to make more attacks that deal increased damage. Current bonus is 2 attacks. Stamina Cost: 5 points.
Critical Strike is a random, luck based event, that is caused by striking your opponent with any type of attack. Critical Strike has a 1% Chance of activating and deals 150% damage of the normal attack. Upgrading this ability increases the chance of activation and damage increase.

'Dang... these skills are just too good!' Rick thought to himself.
'
'And these skill points are just too OP. They let me instantly level up abilities. But what to spend them on is the question.'
Rick took the skills in again and thought for awhile before deciding on

'Sweet!'
Rick was feeling at the top of the world. He felt power coarse through his body as his mind began to highlight where he had went wrong in the previous teachings he hadn't received. His own findings were enforced and his strengths increased while his faults where minimalized. He learned how to better fight with his hands while he also learned how to strike consecutively quickly and efficiently.
After finalizing his skills and stats he finally decided to take a look at what was going on around him. It was actually fairly quite.
The vast hall was filled with sleeping orphans as the street light slipped in from the large stained windows of the church/orphanage.
He slowly stood up and stretched as his body accommodated the new found strength it hadn't had before. Lucas seemed to have not checked in to the church yet so it seemed like he would be left to his own devices for awhile. That means it was the perfect time to test out a few things he was wondering about.
Firstly, how did his Stamina regenerate and health regenerate. Secondly, how awesome his new skills where.
He decided to go out to the back of the church in the alley ways of the buildings and practice his skills.
He stood still in the silent alley way and simply got into an offensive manner. He stuck forward once, then twice, then three times. He continued until he understood the changes in his skills.
It seemed as if his movements where being corrected by his mind as he continued. And as he progressed he felt his movements become more limber and felt more at piece. He fully understood his increase in combat. Except for the Multistrike which he hadn't tried yet.
He activated the skill and lurched forward with a two handed attack and stiked incredibly quickly. He felt the wind be moved by his fists as ripples of air spread out from his two pronged attack.
He felt powerful by this attack but unlike the first time he did it he felt seriously winded.
Which made sense why.
He sat their breathing in deeply and relaxing. After about 5 minutes he managed to regain his stamina. So it was roughly 1 per minute.
'Hmm that's not too bad. Now i'm scared to do this but it's all for the sake of science.' Rick thought to himself as he readied his nail to his flesh on his arm.
He slowly cut into himself dealing minimal damage but enough to be acknowledged as 1 point of damage. It hurt but not too bad with his current body.
He sat and waited for his status to change as he constantly refreshed it.

After about an hour it finally changed to full health as the cut had managed to scab over miraculously. It seemed the conversion for health was around 1 per hour which was unnatural for the normal human being but seeing as he had a system it made sense.
After his tests he continued practicing for a few hours before a sudden sharp knock on the nearby wooden wall of a house alerted him. Rick quickly turned around before receiving a swift kick to the back.
He fell to the ground prone, al he could feel was pain. After a few minutes he stood up and noticed Lucas looking over him trying his hardest not to smile.
"Still as non alert as ever. Today is gonna be a tough one so I recommend you eat well or else you might suffer the consequences."
"Good luck kid. it's time for orientation."
