12 Tinker
Waking up as always in an unfashionable manner inside an unfamiliar room isn't a remarkable feat. Zero stretches his body, still paralyzed from the bizarre robust events which had happened from… he can't remember. Was he asleep for several hours? Days? He did not know. What he do remember was him lying on Lilith's arms, conversing…rather amazed on the prowess he had obtained.
: The gamer's ability:
Games are actions made or done that people find it entertaining to. All sorts of skills, lucks, and strategic skills are comprehend in terms of first player shooting games, role playing games and the like. Achievements, abilities, and other imaginary concepts are capable inside a game that could be played on various consoles. Zero, unfortunately couldn't afford to purchase these items, but rather he too is fond of playing games which are 'available' for his budget. Despite his father's disappearance, he never skips nor left his gaming activities; one thing for sure, he has potential. He have heard that the mages from Warford's academy gains experiences in combat and rather enhancing their skills to make it their own. But in reality, the growth between mages would eventually reach in a bottleneck.
Zero finally vents his eyes, having the energy to look around his surroundings. Moments later, when he had started to be accustom with his setting, a same large box which he find it familiar popped up right in front of his face; seemingly following around his perspective.
He looks to his right, the holographic blue box will likewise follow sliding likewise sliding to his right.
He looks up, it does the same thing.
Utterly defeated, he curiously reads what was written on the shady box that appeared out of nowhere.

Upon storing, the statuses (such as cooked meals, fire, ice, and other elements) would be saved. The capacity of your bag will increase upon leveling:
"Wa-wait… this is kinda op for a beginners bag? Could I store live animals or living individuals inside my bag? "
Understanding his thoughts, a tiny cube appeared on the left side of my screen indicating an announce query
:you may store living individuals upon leveling up your own personal bag or obtaining the legendary bag called "Phira
"Wow! To be heard by this automated artificial intelligence intruding my thoughts…. High tech indeed" nodding to his own statement.
He then clicks the next available page, making a *swoosh* sound coming from the box

Bewildered from the fact, Zero widens his eyes as an average box appeared which blocked his whole point of view.
Without thinking much of it, and to cure his curiosity, Zero absentmindedly presses the yes button.
: Barrier activated:
a female robotic voice resounded through his ear. He then looks around for any sight of life forms, and much of his surprise he was sitting upright on a hospital bed inside the infirmary. He looks to a clock which is placed on the highest part of the wall facing the guests inside the room.
"2 o'clock" he mumbles. It was a good thing he was alone tinkering his settings. Distracted, he resumes browsing the window 'til he notices some sort of foggy winds swarming around his vicinity, forming a kind of wall. His sight wasn't particularly altered but what shocked him the most was the weird thing in front of him.
"Is this the barrier the system had voiced out?" curious, he then touches the floating mist but to no avail. He tested it multiple times, throwing what seems to be a loose thread but nevertheless showed any improvements in his theory. Fortunately, ironically, a ball of dust which seems to be a ball was blown away by the wind headed towards his direction. The ball of dirt which apparently targets his head was stopped by an unfathomed force 5 centimetres apart from Zero. In shock and content, he smirked as if a child had seen a new game found in the convenience store.
"coo~l" he utters.
His experiment was a success, sort of. Once the outcome was revealed, his surrounding mists starts to evaporating, ending his trial.
Looking at the cause, he browses to his setting and much to his surprise, his mana pool which was about a full hundred a while ago had been consumed dry displaying: 0 MP, recharging 3 MP per second, 33 minutes and 40 seconds:
"wow" was the only word he could only say.
Another box appeared indicating that he had leveled up his sole ability
: Congratulations, you had level up. You are now level 2! 3 points have been allotted. Use it to its importance!:
: Congratulations, you had level up your magical barrier. It is now level 2!
"mana barrier"

Cannot activate magical barrier. MP too low!:
So, the gist is when I use my abilities I level up and so does my skill. Isn't easy to get stronger with this?
Zero thoughts. He was thinking the possibilities on his rapid growth using his Mp, draining it, to level up everything in his category.
"unto the last page" he said, clicking the button '>' once again.

"Of course!" Zero clicks the yes button. A magical mists, similar to the barrier slowly appeared on in front of him
*would you like to use the mana ring now? Yes/no?
Zero clicks yes
*would you like to use 10 potions? Yes/no.
"hmm, why would I use it now?" doubting, he presses no and another box popped up indicating
*would you like to store the potions or give it as a gift for a friend? (attention, no friends have been added by the player!!!)
store, yes/no?
he clicks the yes button. Zero checks his storage and 10 tiny red glasses of which seems to be potions shows on the top left part of his bag.
*would you like to equip Durandal's blade? Yes/no?
He once again clicks 'yes'. Corresponding mist covered his waist as an average size sword. It is a wide blade forged from 1065 high-carbon steel. Both the metal cross guard, grip band and pommel lavishly plated in sterling silver, giving it a majestic aura of a legendary sword.
Zero then closes the box and would check everything once again later, as he heard a loud noise knocking from the door.
