Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Lucky Or Not?

In a shabby apartment , a teenage boy about the age of 16 was sitting in his sofa comfortably until a knock on his door interrupted his thinking.

"Who could it be this time?"

Managing to get out of his comfort place , the boy headed towards the door and leaned forward to look through the peep hole in the center of the door.

"Shit! It's the loan sharks! I remember that I was supposed to owe them money next week but why are they here?"

The knocking continued until it became harder and louder until it finally stopped. The boy breathed out a sigh of relief and leaned back to his position but what he didn't notice was that a repulsive force was placed on his door and when he leaned back , it blew his door apart shocking him while also making him stumble to the ground.

"What? My door! Who did this!"

"Oh , If it isn't the little loaner who was hiding behind his door."

A scruffy looking man walked in the apartment and his expression was quite uncanny with his eyes narrowed onto the boy with a mischievous grin.

"Ace , I do hope you have my money."

The boy who was named Ace , trembled while looking towards the man who barged into his living place. Ace started breathing quickly while some visible sweat was seen on his forehead.

"B-But you said I should pay you back next week , the deadline isn't today! Paul , I just need until next week , I promise I'll give it to you."

Paul , who had a grin plastered on his face started laughing while pointing towards Ace.

"You? Didn't you say that last month but I only received half of the amount you were supposed to pay. Today I'm not going give you any second chances , it's either you pay now or I beat your ass until not even a man can tell what it is."

Ace's mind started thinking about many possibilities until a fist landed on his left cheek which left a bruise.

"Argh! You didn't give me a chance to-"

Before he could utter another word , another punch landed on his right cheek which continued.

"I don't wanna listen to your excuses , since you don't have my money , it's clear that I'll have to beat your ass thoroughly."

Paul unleashed a barrage of attacks which lead to bruises to occur on Ace's face. After 5 minutes later , Ace looked a punching bag that was riddled with marks.

"I'll be going for now. You're lucky I don't have any blessings or you might have been tomato paste by now."

Paul left while mumbling some words that didn't have any importance while Ace was left on the floor of his apartment breathing heavily.

"I'll get my revenge someday , I promise. Just wait until I beat your ass too , we're gonna see if you can recognize it."

Ace unwilling got up and dragged his body over to his sofa and laid down while closing his eyes. His breathing started to calm down as his body relaxed more.

"Damn it , I'm to weak! Why don't I have blessings?"

After pointlessly nagging to no one about why he doesn't have blessings and cursing God for unfair treatment , an unexpected situation happened to him.

[System Activating]

[Initiating Primal Leveling]

[Startup In Progress]

Ace looked infront of him , thinking it was an illusion because he was beaten so badly , he waved his hands through it but couldn't.

"Wait , if this is a real system that I know about , weren't it supposed to be transparent?"

Ace questioned his own knowledge since he knew about systems. It was popular in the novel and manga world where protagonists gain systems that allow them to do things that are impossible for others to do.

"It can't be , will I gain some overpowered system?"

Ace was excited about obtaining an overpowered system because he knew that if he didn't have power in the world his living in now , he would be a slave for the ability user's sooner or later.

"Hehehe , I can smell my power awaiting me."

A grin appeared on Ace's face while he looked at the screen infront of him.

[Startup Process Complete]

[Scanning User's Body]

[Scanning Complete]

[User Has Been Found With Multiple Bruises On His Face. Shall The System Heal It?]

[Y/N]

Ace was surprised that the system could heal his face since he hadn't actually done anything yet that could provide any benefits to him.

"Yes , I accept"

After confirming , a mysterious liquid appeared and wrapped around Ace's face but it didn't suffocate him , instead , it looked as if it granted Ace comfort while healing his face to its original appearance.

[Healing Complete. User's Appearance Has Retuned Back To Normal.]

After the systems response , Ace touched his face and felt that it didn't cause any discomfort or hurt in any way. He rushed to his bathroom and looked into the mirror while scanning his facial appearance.

"Wow! There's no bruises anywhere located on my face. The system was right , I'm healed. Damn that Paul , wanted to make me look like a living punching bag."

[System Has Checked The User's Stats. Would User Like To Analyse It?]

"Stats? Must be my strong points. Yes , I'll analyse my stats."

A new screen opened up before Ace's view and it showed the information about Ace's identification and strengths.

[Name: Ace]

[Surname: Hoarder]

[Class: -]

[Level: 1] (0/100)

[Health:500]

[Mana: 300]

[Strength: 10]

[Speed: 10]

[Durability: 10]

[Intelligence: 10]

[Skills/Abilities]

[Inventory: -]

(Note: Your trash that even a middle schooler can beat.)

Ace looked at his stats and viewed the information about it while wondering how his surname is "Hoarder"?

"System , why is my surname Hoarder? I'm an orphan who was given only a name."

[Your True Surname Is Hoarder User.]

"Is that so? Can you tell me if it's from my parents and can you explain why I'm a orphan?"

[User's Level Doesn't Meet The Requirements]

"Requirements? What level should I be then?"

[Over Level 600]

"You must be joking."

[No , The System Is Programmed To Joke.]

"Over 600!? That would take me ages!"

[Shall I Give Some Advice To The User?]

"You have a way to complete it faster?"

[You Must Grind Meaning Killing Monsters. There's No Such Thing As Experience Points , The Amount Of Monster You Kill Will Provide The Amount Of Levels You Will Get. Even If You Kill A God-Class Monster It Will Still Be Counted As One Monster.]

Ace's expression immediately turned sour after understanding what the system meant about no experience points. His plan of engaging higher level monster for better gains instantly collapsed.

"So I have to kill a hundred monsters to level up?"

[Yes]

"What fucked up nonsense is that? Can't I be like a normal system user? Why can't I have experience points.?"

[It's Very Logical User. The System Has Deemed Experience Points Useless Because It Doesn't Necessarily Give You Experience. You Won't Learn To Be A Good Butcher If You Just Killed A Boar Once.]

"Will I be a butcher?"

[No , It Was A Example.]

"Phew , so when can I gain a class?"

[After You Reach Level 5.]

"Are trying to kill me?!"

Ace rubbed his temple using his index finger while sighing deeply. He then recalled something and immediately focused on the system.

"System , do I have a newbie package."

[No , But You Do Have A Starter Pack.]

"..... Just Open It."

[Opening Starter Pack]

"These abilities... Hehehe , I'm closer to getting my revenge. But system , what are these notes?"

[They're There To Give You Encouragement Because Your Useless Right Now.]

"...."

Ace , who felt that the system was mocking him , clenched his fist while narrowing his gaze towards the system.

"Just you wait , I'll become strong enough to spank your systematic review."

[I'll Be Waiting.]

"Tch. Anyways , how do I aquire the skills and items?"

[The Items Have Already Been Placed Inside Your Inventory. Your Skills Can Be Learned Just By Thinking About It But You Must Practice With It To Actually Do Something With It.]

"Oh , so I should practice my abilities to actually have an effect that I want? At least I won't be bored I guess. System learn both skills."

[You've Learned Gravitational Manipulation (Basic)]

[You've Learned Weird Footwork.]

"This should do , but now I'll have to practice my skills to actually have a chance at my revenge."

Ace smiled frivolously and walked out of his bathroom towards his bedroom. He wanted to test out his [Gravitational Manipulation] on some objects that was in his room. Once he entered his room , he looked at his bed and extended his hand while focusing his mana into it.

"Oh , what's this?"
