'It's time to get stronger, and make the bastards who made this pay' After this thought from Arthur he decided to distribute the 5 points he received as a reward, and his attributes were as follows.

Seeing the system interface he decided to check out the daily quests, Emily had gone back to sleeping on the couch next door.
'Missions'
The moment he thought of the quests tab it quickly appeared in front of him.
{Daily Quest}

{Abdominal 0/100]
{Squats 0/100}
{Run 0/5 km}
[Reward: 1 point in Strength, Stamina, and Agility]

Seeing the screen open in front of him Arthur saw the missions and his mind soon began to think about other things.
How would he take care of him and his sister?
Why were the demons after him?
What would he do when he needed to go to the army, who would take care of Emily?
And most importantly, what would he say to the police and military who would surely come to interrogate him soon, what would he say to them? He was already finding it strange that they still hadn't come to talk to him.
***
Outside the room two men in military uniforms were talking to a doctor, it was the same doctor who was taking care of Arthur and Naomi, he had just informed the military that Arthur was awake, Arthur was not a suspect or anything like that the military just wanted an answer, who and how they managed to get into the city, were they monsters or was this the work of terrorism, moreover who would be strong and stupid enough to attack Walter.
After they finished talking to the doctor they entered the room where Arthur and Emily were.
***
Seeing the military entering Arthur continued to sit on the couch, he looked over to where Emily was sleeping and looked back in the direction of the military.
"Hello Arthur my name is Tom I was friends with your father and mother and this is Sergeant Harvey. I imagine it must be a difficult time for you and your sister, but we need to ask you some questions."
Sergeant Harvey looked at Arthur with a look of disappointment, he did not imagine that someone with such a weak appearance was the son of the Famous Walter, it was a shame that the skill Arthur inherited was that of his mother, which was a good skill, after all it was always good to have a healer on your side, but the problem was that it wasn't Walter's Lightning Element ability, which despite not being rare was very strong and with proper training would become a great strength in the future.
But he kept his thoughts to himself, as as far as he knew Arthur was presumed dead and only recently was it discovered that he had been kidnapped.
Anyone looking at Arthur would have the same thoughts, Arthur was thinner than usual, his brown hair was a bit long. Arthur was about 1.66 tall but his physique was without any muscle.
"Can we talk outside? I don't want Emy to wake up, she's been through a lot today." Arthur got up and walked to the door.
The military followed Arthur, who continued to go to the hospital, a kind of cafeteria.
Arriving there Arthur answered all the questions asked by the military, about the appearance of the attackers, their skills, if he knew the reason for the attack. Arthur made a point of answering all the questions truthfully, hiding only that they were behind him. He said that his father died to save him and his mother and the people close by.
"Walter was a great man, unfortunately he left, and the death toll was minimal" said Sergeant Harvey, he had a thin face and a square jaw, giving the impression that he was always angry.
"Did anyone else die?" asked Arthur curiously, so far he only knew of his father's death.
"Unfortunately yes, some vehicles passing by were hit in the first explosion, as far as we know 5 people including his father died" replied Tom
"I see" replied Arthur looking down.
Seeing Arthur's expression, Tom decided it was time to go, they had already asked him everything.
"Arthur, I think you already know, but your parents had an account at the Central Bank of Partria, and from what happened recently, you won't be joining the army until next year in January."
"Thank you" replied Arthur, he didn't remember about the bank, but last night his mother told him he would be released from mandatory military service until next year.
"If you need anything call me, it's the least I can do for your father"
"He is well"
And so the military left leaving Arthur alone with his thoughts.
Far from the restaurant Harvey spoke to Tom.
"Why didn't you help them find a place to live? Since you were such good friends with Walter."
"Now that Walter is gone and his mother is in a coma, he will have to learn to defend himself, we need strong people, who knows when a new war might break out. And there was no need, they will succeed, after all they are his children" replied Tom
***
Back at the restaurant at the Hospital he was thinking what to do, he had to complete his daily mission, he needed to go to the bank, buy new clothes, find a new place to live, and he had no idea how much money his parents had saved, they they never had any kind of need, they lived in a nice house so he figured he would at least have enough for the next few months, it was already getting dark so he decided to leave the hospital to complete the race, he was dressed in jeans and a shirt black, these clothes had been given away by the hospital, as far as he knew the military had paid for everything. And they also paid her mother's medical bills for the next month.
"Let's start"
Leaving the hospital he could see several cars passing through the streets, some luxury models, electric cars, floating cars, cars powered by the user's mana, of all kinds, gasoline-based cars had become extinct and few people around the world still collected, but it was extremely rare.
Looking to the right he can see the street and some people kept walking even though it was night, the city of Partria had about 100 thousand inhabitants, it was big, smaller compared to the world headquarters.
The city of Partria was extremely advanced compared to the cities of the past, it had several buildings, and the city was all built in a circular format with streets that led straight to the center of the city where there was a teleportation portal that formed a network along with the other cities and through them was where supplies and troops passed in times of war, so it was always protected by the army.
The most remote areas were the peripheries and the closer to the center the richer the families were protected.
Arthur decided to run along a street that led to the center of the city, he would run for 2.5 km on the way out and on the way back for another 2.5 km, so he started to run, after 1 hours and 30 minutes he came back, arriving at the hospital and went straight to the room where he had stayed earlier, so he threw himself on the floor and started to rest, he was never one to exercise. After another 1 hour he had finished the daily quest.
***
The next day Arthur went with Emily to the bank where he discovered the huge amount of ten million credits, which was a lot, even so he decided to spend it carefully. After that they went shopping for clothes and Emily insisted that he cut his hair, it was the first time he saw her laughing.
After that they rented a small apartment in an area not too downtown and not too far away. The rent for 3 months cost about 200 thousand credits, it was a small furnished apartment and had 2 bedrooms, a living room and a small kitchen.
>ONE WEEK LATER<
"Emily, hurry up, we're going to be late"
"I'm leaving, why are we leaving so early Arthur?"
"We need to update our address at school and today will be my first day"
"Is it true, are you excited?" Emily looked curiously at Arthur who was trying to cook what looked like an egg.
"I don't really know, it's been a year, a lot has changed," he said, thinking about his attributes.
Arthur then thought about his days at school, the days he was beaten, mistreated, and even the day he died, lost in his thoughts the egg that should be fried ended up burning.
In the last week he had completed all the missions and he was feeling stronger, his body was no longer skeletal.
He needed to be strong, at least in front of Emily in the last week he only slept 2 days once he had nightmares and the next he didn't, his face looked tired but he didn't care.
"I hope it's at least edible," Emily said with a laugh, snapping Arthur out of his reverie.
And so began the first day of school.
