Standing up to hunt for some experience, Alex stumbled, almost falling 3 stories to the ground.
"What's happening?" Alex questioned as he tried to get rid of the dizziness.
{I can answer that, it is almost 4 am and you haven't slept in quite a while. Normally for someone like you that doesn't sleep very much and can go for a few days without sleep, it would be fine, however, the integration of the system and the amount of stress that you have dealt with tonight has simply overloaded your mental capacity. Do not forget, you're still human.}
"I guess you're right. Then I will hunt for a few hours then go to bed when I find a good place to call base for now...I would like to visit my home, but not stay there for too long as well."
{That would be understandable. By the way, most monsters are nocturnal, so they will be fewer in numbers during the day.}
"So hunt during the day as much as possible for safety and hunt at night for exponential growth. Got it."
{That is not what I meant...}
Alex stood up and walked over to the edge before looking over it.
"Ava?" Alex asked with a tone of curiosity.
{Yes?} Ava asked with hesitation being worried about what Alex would ask for.
"What is the strongest thing nearby?" Alex asked as a dark smile so cold that it would make the strongest of foes shudder with fear appeared on his face.
{...}
{The strongest?}
"Yes."
{About .5 miles to the east...it would be about level 20}
"Good, a nice even number," Alex said his smile growing wider and his eyes growing wilder. "How much EXP would I get from it?"
{I do not know, EXP is an accumulation of your performance in the battle, the foes level in comparison, and the flawlessness of your victory...Don't tell me...}
"Direct me to it, I would like to make this quick," Alex stated as he stood on the east ledge of the building. He looked down and pulled out the midnight black cloak as he jumped off the side of the building with his shit-eating grin. As he fell the cloak fluttered in the wind behind him as he also pulled hit around himself. As soon as he hit the ground he activated sneak and sprinted as hard as he could to where ava was directing him.
{Go forward 300 feet, turn right, go forward 409 feet, turn left then go straight and you'll be there. Also, I thought you were going to wait before wearing the coat?}
"I was, but I'll just wash it later, it'll get covered in blood either way," Alex stated in response, gaining the attention of a dozen monsters turning to look his way. There was a new type of monster among those he saw, it looked like a giant mosquito with 4 wings.
'Inspect' Alex thought as he approached them swiftly.

"Shit, add 5 points in STR, AGI, and DEX," Alex said wanting to make this as swift as possible.
{Added}
Alex ran as fast as he could towards the hoard of monsters coming towards him. As he reached the first goblin, he spun and kicked it as hard as he could directly into its head.
SNAP~
A deafening snap was heard as the goblin's head immediately turned to a 90-degree angle and its body fell to the ground with a thud as all the monsters stopped and looked at Alex before roaring even louder than before and charging forward ready to attack.
Alex ignored all of the notifications that were appearing in his vision as he started the battle with fluidity and grace that only belongs to the most nimble of acrobats.
He kicked off the ground harder than before directly heading towards the next monster, a stirge, jumping into the air, Alex reached a total of 11 feet in the air. As he started falling he twisted his body in a way to make sure that all of his weight was behind his blade.
3 stirges turned up towards him and flew at him as fast as they could.
"Slash" Alex twisted his body to the right and swung his arm down with all of his strength cutting through 2 of the mosquito-like creatures with ease.
Turning his body, even more, Alex did an ax kick directly onto the 3rd, sending it towards the other monsters with all of his strength.
BANG~
It crashed into 2 goblins killing them both almost instantly.
Its needle-like sucker piercing through the eye of one of the goblins, and the mangled body of the other goblin, crushed under the stirge.
The final 5 creatures all looked at him at the same time, the last 2 stirges flew directly towards him. He dashed towards them again spinning like a whirlwind that is deadlier than the sharpest blade.
Splunsth~
The first stirge was easily incapacitated as Alex cut off its wing in a single slick movement of his arms. The 2nd stirge is only a few feet away from him. He turned even faster than before and grabbed the 2nd stirges legs before slamming it down as hard as he could on the asphalt below.
THUNK~
The second one splattered against the cratering concrete below, Ignoring the continuous notifications that he was getting, Alex walked back to the previous stirge before picking it up slowly while turning towards the 3 other monsters cowering before him. He sheathed his knife before ripping off the head up the giant mosquito-Esque creature before dropping its now limp body on the ground.
