Lucas woke up from his 'nap' to the sound of an alarm ringing by his ear. This startled him to the point of accidentally causing Artaois to fall off of him, and this in turn woke him up as well. Lucas quickly turned his alarm off and opened his phone to see if there was anything interesting on any of his social medias. Unsurprisingly, there wasn't, it was just the same basic memes and photos of people he knew.
He sat up in bed and dreaded the day ahead of him as he would have to go back to school, luckily for him though he only had one more day until he would have a week off to relax. As it was a new day, Lucas wondered if he would be able to claim a new reward, so he checked his status.

*Day 2 Reward Can Be Claimed*
"Yes, thank God it counts as a new day in the morning and doesn't change depending on when I open the reward. I want to open my reward now."
'Day 2 Reward Has Been Claimed. Obtained Random Elements Acquisition. Upon Using This Item, You Will Randomly Gain Five Different Elements Which Will Influence Your Status. Would You Like To Use This Reward Now?'
"Yes, absolutely! Use the reward."
Once Lucas said this, a screen appeared with a large roulette wheel with all of the elements on it and five needles which would choose the elements he would receive. Lucas pressed on the middle of the wheel, and it began to spin quickly.
After a short amount of time, the wheel started to slow down, and the five winning elements were displayed.
'Radiation, Portal, Pet, Number, Hydra Constellation .'
'As Elements Have Been Decided, Potential Will Be Unlocked.'
Lucas checked his status again to see what had changed.

"Holy shit, this is so cool! I have to try these powers out later and see how strong I've become. Although it does seem like the term element is broader than I thought it would be and just means the nature of abilities rather than a basic element like fire or water."
Lucas could not test his abilities yet though, as he needed to get ready for school. He was as quick as he could in getting ready as he was running a bit late, and then left his house. Lucas wanted to see how fast he could run, and while following the normal route he took to school, it took him only around ten seconds instead of the usual five minutes, but he did not feel as though he had reached his top speed by the time he reached his school.
Luckily for him, nobody noticed him arriving in an insanely fast manner, and he entered the school like normal.
His day went quite quickly as he had a free period first and then an English lesson which was followed by a Design Technology lesson before he could go home after what felt like an immensely long time.
Lucas wanted to go home straight away and test his abilities, but this plan was interrupted much to his disappointment. Jacob and Tommy had planned to meet up with two girls who each of them had been talking to, but they wanted to bring their friend along.
Due to this, both Jacob and Tommy were begging for Lucas to come along to even the numbers with the fear that the girls would call the meeting off. Although he wanted to test out his powers, Lucas was a good friend and decided to help his friends out and join them.
The three friends all decided to go home separately to get changed before meeting each other at the nearest bus stop around 7 o'clock. Lucas had thought that it would be much earlier that they would be meeting and thought he would not be able to test his powers out.
However, he realised that he would in fact have enough time as it was only 3 o'clock. Once Lucas reached his house, he did not put on any good clothes as he planned to test out his abilities. The first ability he wanted to test was 'Dungeon Portal' as he felt as though he would be able to use his other skills more freely inside.
He put his hand out and thought of creating a portal to a dungeon. After a few seconds, the space in front of him began distorting and a large green portal came into existence. He was not too worried about going inside as it was only a level 1 dungeon and, despite having no combat experience, Lucas felt like his stats were relatively high.
Lucas walked through the portal excited to see what would be on the other side, and he found himself in a dark cemetery. The portal had disappeared behind him, and he assumed he needed to finish the dungeon or open a new portal to leave.
Lucas started walking around the cemetery and could not see any monsters, this was until he accidentally stepped on the ground above a grave. When he did this, a multitude of arms emerged from the ground and skeletons began to pull themselves to the surface.
Lucas looked at the monsters and became even more excited than he had been. He thought of using his 'Scale Manifestation' skill on his arms and they both became covered in sharp, hard scales which were a deep red colour.
He ran at one of the skeletons and punched it directly in the face, due to his strength stat which was even more powerful due to his scales, this punch shattered the skeleton's skull, and it dropped dead once again.
Lucas continued doing this and without any remorse for the skeletons, which he did not view as human despite being in the shape of one, he destroyed the waves of undead creatures. Once all of the skeletons were defeated, Lucas heard the sound of hooves approaching quickly.
He looked in the direction that they were coming from and saw a headless white horse with a headless soldier in armour riding it. It seemed to be the boss monster of the dungeon which he had created. This monster was a dullahan and it was holding a spear in its right hand.
It began to charge at Lucas, but he was not worried as he had absolutely no difficulty with the skeletons before. As the dullahan charged at him, Lucas tried a new skill and teleported onto the back of the dullahan's undead horse.
As he was directly behind the unsuspecting enemy, he plunged his scaled hand through its back and the monster began to disintegrate along with its horse. In place of the dullahan was a silver necklace with a black crystal pendant on it. Lucas picked it up and an information screen appeared.

Lucas picked up the necklace and immediately used his 'Double' skill to turn the stat increase from + 50 in each stat into + 100 in each stat. There was nothing else to double on the necklace, so he put it around his neck straight away.
As he had finished clearing the dungeon, the portal reappeared and Lucas walked back through it. He immediately checked the time and noticed that it was 5 o'clock and he needed to start getting ready.
First though, he wanted to check his status again.

Looking at his status, Lucas was pleased with his progress, but he did not want to get too caught up in his status and decided to get dressed. First, he went in the shower and made sure he was as clean as he could be. He then dried himself off and left the bathroom before returning to his room and choosing his outfit.
He had a black shirt which he left unbuttoned at the top, as well as a pair of smart but fashionable black trousers. He kept Artaois on as a ring, and also kept his new necklace on. He decided to tie his hair back like normal and thought that he looked pretty good. As it was approaching half past six, Lucas went downstairs to put his shoes on and decided on a pair of black and white high top converse.
Once he was ready, he left the house and walked to the bus stop which was twenty minutes away. He did not want to run as it could have caused issues involving his clothes or hair which would not have been ideal if he wanted to make sure his friends would be happy.
By the time he arrived, he saw that Tommy was already waiting and Jacob was walking towards the bus stop from the opposite direction. The three of them waited for the bus together and Lucas was given a run down on what was happening when they got on.
It was a casual occasion as the group of six would be going to see a film and then going for dinner at a sushi restaurant. This was not an issue for Lucas, as he had a lot of money to spare since he had been left a large inheritance from his grandparents when they passed away. His mother had also been given a large inheritance and had decided to disappear with it which left Lucas living alone which, if he was being honest, he did not mind all that much.
When the bus arrived at their destination, the three boys got off and walked towards the cinema. After arriving, they walked through the revolving doors and saw a group of three girls sitting in the cafe area.
One of these girls was around 5'6 and was quite slim with shoulder length blonde hair and brown eyes. She was wearing ripped jeans with a baggy but fashionable jumper. She had a small bag in her hand and a pair of glasses on.
Another one of the three had long light brown hair and was around 5'4 with green eyes and she seemed curvier than the first girl with slightly darker skin. She was wearing a tight fitting red dress and had a handbag.
The third and final girl was about 5'2 with relatively long black hair and blue eyes. She was slim but still quite curvy and was quite well developed, but nothing over the top. Her skin was quite pale, and she was wearing a black dress with a corset as well as boots which made her seem taller than she was. She also had multiple ear piercings and a nose ring which was accompanied by a bridge piercing. Her hands were covered in rings, and she had multiple necklaces on as well as bracelets.
The girls noticed Lucas, Jacob and Tommy walking towards them and began to make their way over to them. When they got close enough, the blonde girl walked up to Tommy, "Hi, it's good to see you again! How have you been?"
Tommy replied, "I've been alright, how about you Jess?"
The girl, who Lucas now knew was called Jess, responded, "I've been good, I'm looking forward to tonight."
On the other side of him, Lucas could hear Jacob and the other girl talking but he heard Jacob first, "You looking forward to the film Marnie?"
Marnie replied to Jacob excitedly, "Of course, it's been a while since I last saw you after all."
Instead of paying attention to the others, Lucas decided to interact with his 'date' who he had never met before, "Hi, I should probably introduce myself. My name's Lucas, how about you?"
The girl looked up at him, "It's nice to meet you, my names Raven. I know it's a bit random, but it's what my parents chose and I'm used to it."
Lucas smiled and laughed, "It's a cool name and it fits you; I wouldn't worry if I were you. I hope we can have a good time tonight."
Raven smiled as well, "Me too, I only came along with the others because I wanted to meet some new people, and you seem nice so far. I like your necklace by the way, where did you get it?"
Lucas casually replied, "I guess you could say I won it; I think it's pretty cool if I do say so myself. Although it isn't exactly impressive compared to your collection of jewellery."
Raven looked a little nervous as if she had taken Lucas' words badly, "Is it too much, I don't want to seem strange."
Lucas seemed apologetic, "No of course not, you look really good don't worry."
In response to this, raven seemed to have perked up again and confidently spoke, "I guess you look pretty good as well. I'm joking, I'm not that much of a bitch, you look very good as well. It seems I made a good decision coming today."
While they were speaking, Tommy tapped Lucas on the shoulder, "Hey dude, I know you too are getting acquainted, but the film is going to start soon so we should probably go in."
The group walked through the halls of the cinema after giving their tickets to a man who seemed to be really 'enjoying' his job with a dead look in his eyes. They eventually found screen 9 which was where their film was playing.
It was a horror-comedy about giant worms which were killing people in a small town. Everyone seemed to enjoy the film and once it was finished, they all had a good time talking about it. This continued into their meal which was surprisingly inexpensive.
Once everyone was done, they all went their separate ways with some of them being picked up by their parents or older siblings, while Lucas and Jacob both got the bus back to their homes. This was not before Lucas got Raven's number though, as he had a good time talking to her and found her to be just his type.
Once he got back home, Lucas got in bed, summoned Artaois and went to sleep while allowing him to lie on his back again.
