Chereads / My Divine Legacy / Chapter 23 - System: Foe or Friend?

Chapter 23 - System: Foe or Friend?

Lucas shook his head, then, walked to a corner and slumped down to the ground with an exaggerated sigh soon after.

'Stats.' Lucas thought.

[Stat points to distribute: 20]

[Strength: 40]

[Speed: 10]

[Defence: 10]

[Agility: 08]

[Luck: 02]

[Influence: 10]

[Perception: 05]

Lucas glared at the words. What did these stat points actually do?

[Strength +5]

[Distribute?]

"Does this mean that... No, it can't be." Lucas had risen up from where he sat just now, his eyes were glowing brightly as he fixed them on the words.

'Yes.'

[Strength: 45]

Lucas grinned broadly at his discovery. This means he could get stat points to increase his prowess faster.

Like so, Lucas put five stat points into speed, bringing it up to fifteen and the remaining ten stats into defence.

[Speed: 15]

[Defence: 20]

His overall stats were of an average intermediate tier beast. He was now strong enough to take out an army of basic tier demons single handedly.

"What are you all smiley about Lucas?" Lily said from behind.

Lucas almost jumped out of his skin. His heart was beating out of his chest, and the thought of what this lady could do to a man made his skin crawl.

"Do you have the habit of sneaking up on people?" Lucas snapped at Lily.

"Nah, it's an instinct." She bluntly replied.

Lucas felt his brows twitch. This woman was too blunt, she would get in trouble frequently.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Lucas looked at Lily, then, to the door. Eventually he dragged the doll over to one edge of the room.

[Familiar Egg discovered!]

[Hatch to receive powerful pet!]

Lucas simply ignored the message and left the doll and the golden egg at the edge of the room. He let out some cusses as he approached the door.

'Who is it now...!' Lucas thought as he opened the door slightly.

"Hello! Is Lily in?" Vicki said in a low voice as she looked through the slight slit in the door.

"Y-Yeah." Lucas opened the door and ushered Vicki into his dorm with an awkward expression on his face.

"What!" Vicki screamed as her eyes lit up.

"I know it's kind of dirty, but I..." Lucas's voice trailed off as he turned back. He could only say, "Is this my room?"

The entire place was sparkling clean, the clothes neatly arranged in the wardrobe, and the once suffocating area turned welcoming to Lucas.

"What happened here?" Lucas muttered under his breath as he looked around himself.

"Hey, Vicki."

----

Lucas had run out of the room. It had become unbelievable for him. Those demons used him as a tear subject in all their discussion. It made him want to vomit blood.

"Lucas, please come back!" Lily called out to Lucas, but the latter paid no heed.

He had run off to a quiet place to think. He had discovered distributing points helps to a specific stat increases his overall strength.

[Arcane Volley: 00/100]

[Di explosion: 00/100]

Lucas quickly put forty of his Skill Points into Inspect bringing it up to level two. He wanted to also test something out.

[Inspect Level Up!]

Suddenly Lucas's vision turned white, his head throbbed as staggered about. When he regained his composure his eyes were a brighter than before and purple rings surrounded his pupils.

[System update: 100/100]

[Update complete!]

[Welcome to the game, Divinity]

Lucas was shocked. Master Avarlyn never mentioned any game! Why is this happening?!

[Consume Flesh: 0/10]

[Defeat monsters: 10/10]

[Acquire stat points: 10/10]

[Five hours in Hell.]

'No, No, No!' Lucas thought to himself as he looked at this message.

It was a sudden twist, the system had turned from friend, to foe in a matter of seconds.

[Time left to complete mission= 00:00]

Lucas felt a pain in his heart. The whole world suddenly turned against him, he discovered that the system truly hated his guts.

Lucas paced himself, he would be prepared for the absolute worst. He had come this far, only to he taken down by a system?

"No!"

Lucas's vision went black, his head spun and spun and spun. He counted, two, three hundred seconds perhaps?

[Welcome to Hell!]

[Mission: Survive Hell]

[Time= 05:59:59]

[Reward: ???]

Lucas opened his eyes slowly, not even recalling when he even closed them. He was greeted by the message first.

He was in some sort of volcano, the earth was cracked revealing glowing gold magma underneath. His teeth rattled against each other as he looked up to the sky.

[Inspect]

[Name: Blood Dragon]

[Level: Legendary]

[Chance of victory: 5%]

[Info:

Blood Dragons are powerful undead demons who were based off the soul of dead dragons.

They are one of the strongest monsters in hell and they have the ability to raise and control the dead.

Only a holy weapon can inflict damage upon them. They feed off darkness, death and negative emotions.]

The large demon flapped his wings the size of a full duplex, and let out an almighty roar as it hovered above Lucas.

'5% chance of victory...?'

Lucas now felt stupid for disregarding his luck stat, then, maybe that wouldn't have been such an eyesore.

Lucas was about to go, when he heard more heading their way.

He could count almost ten blood dragons flying towards him. He now had zero chance of victory...

"I am dead..."

[Time= 05:35:10]
