Chapter 5 - Chapter 4

" Yawn," Ben woke up from his deep sleep. As he saw his surroundings differently, he recalled where he was and sighed.

"All of it... was Not a dream " Ben lifted his body from the bed. 

Ben has made up his mind if he doesn't want to die he will have to become stronger and start recalling information about the novel.

In this world, one has to train their unique ability to grow stronger and develop their physical body with various martial arts and weapons.

After training the ability to its peak one could awaken more unique ability.

Even after being advanced in technology, this world uses weapons like swords and other weapons. This doesn't end here; the weapons themselves have their rank and some weapons have ego which is almost impossible to find.

" Status " Ben muttered

[ Name: Ben Cruise, Age: 20 ]

[ rank: Novice]

[level: 7]

[Ability: Teleporting (common), ????(locked)]

[Remark: You are good at stealing and running. >< ] 

" I grew by one level but, what is locked ?" Ben wondered aloud, deciding to ask the system for answers.

"hey system what is locked "

[ Error needs upgrade ] but the same reply rang 

" What is the use of a system when it can't help " Ben raised questioning the person who gave him the system feeling frustrated he ran his finger through his hair.

' First I need to be ranked as Master to survive people like Migali for which I have to reach level 30 ' 

To grow stronger there are two ways first is to complete the quest as the system informed and the other is the traditional way by training and hunting. I can't go into the wild to hunt those alien monsters they are mostly in groups and alone and are usually powerful also my reputation will only attract more trouble. 

Ben after pondering for 30 minutes finally decided to train his physical body it was an easy way for him for now.

"Grrr..." Ben's stomach rumbled making him know that he hadn't eaten a single thing after he came into this world.

" First I should deal with this " Ben stood and went straight to the counter and ordered food.

" Do you like to eat here or in your room " Ben who listened to the question observed his surroundings he found he was gathering attention from creatures present there. So, he immediately replied room and left for his room.

" Slam!!" Ben closed his door 

" Why is there no human like me, they look at me like an alien "

well who doesn't like attention but if that attention is from an old man instead of a young girl who will like it?

But Ben was different as his life changed he started avoiding people and hated the attention most.

" knock- knock, sir your food "

As Ben opened the door there stood a beautiful woman whose curves were flaunting from her waiter dress only difference was those horns on his head which only added more to her beauty.

Ben stood like a statue until the door was closed and said " Alien women are really beautiful "

Ben gazed down to find his tent standing upright taking hold of himself sitting on the chair and removing the lid to find a horror inside it was the head of some monster mostly bone leaving very few chunks of meat.

' Do these aliens have a bones fetish ' Ben tasted the meat it was very tasty aroma itself was stomach-filling Ben finished the meal and kept it outside the door only to find the woman appeared and asked " Was it not to your liking " 

 Ben finds himself again lost in the beauty but somehow mutters " I didn't have much appetite " 

Ben asked stopping the woman halfway " Why the way what is your name " 

woman shyly replied " I am Maria" and immediately left the space empty

[ Daily missions available ]

1.)200x squats.

2.)200x pushups.

3.) Use your ability (2 times).

[Reward: Fundamentals of martial art ]

Suddenly the screen appeared in a vision of Ben forcing him out to come back from his daydream.

" What 200 pushups and squats " Ben exclaimed.

" It is the total of when I exercised on the earth " 

Ben stepped out into the open, finding a quiet spot where he could train without interruptions he teleported to a large building that was just a few meters from the ground.

The place was brighter, despite being dark two moons opposite to each other lighting the sky. Cloud replaced by stars shining brighter than ever. 

" I am already drained using ability one time, how I am going to complete this " Ben questioned himself 

And starts with the squats, feeling his muscles strain as he pushes through each repetition. Sweat began to bead on his forehead as he counted under his breath.

"One, two, three...," he grunted, pushing himself to complete the set. By the time he reached 200, his legs were trembling, and he could barely stand.

[200 x squats completed] Mechanical voice echoed

"Okay, next, pushups," he panted, dropping to the ground. His arms felt like lead as he began the pushups, his muscles burning with each movement. He struggled through the first hundred, his pace slowing as he approached 200. Finally, with one last, painful push, he finished, collapsing onto the ground drenched with sweat.

[200 x pushups completed]

"Grrr...," his stomach rumbled again. "Not now," he groaned, pushing himself to his feet.

Exhausted but determined, he decided to complete the last part of the mission. Ben focused, summoning his ability. He felt a strange sensation, like a tingling in his muscles. "Teleport!" he thought, and in a flash, he appeared a few feet away.

 The exertion left him dizzy and drained, but he had to complete the mission. As Ben was about to use his ability a second time, something landed nearby, stopping him in his tracks.

"Where were you? I searched the whole dump yard and there was no sign of you," cried a petite woman whose body was covered in fur, her ears pointed, and her eyes full of concern. "I thought you were caught."

"Why are you here?" Ben asked, surprised. 

It was going to be a new trouble looking for Ben.
