Dungeon's System

"What are you talking about?" asked Niall. He had never heard of such a thing before.

"The System which I have created absorbs the very essence of any being you kill, its soul, and it will send it to me. Once I extract the power from within, I will give you your share as a reward. I will mould your very body to your liking, giving you strength, agility, and many other skills needed to survive. It will also allow you to learn at a faster pace than average, provided you spend the ability points you acquire."

This should prove excellent for escaping or even for fighting back against humans.

"What should I do to get that?"

The ball of light paused for a moment and then spoke once again.

"I have added a function to the System where I may contact you at any time. The System will now become part of you and will be only accessible to you. It would be wise to find somewhere to hide while the process goes underway. I will give you two minutes. Make haste."

Thinking he wouldn't be found, Niall walked to the corner of a room and laid on the side. He then waited for a short while and fell asleep.

He awakened a few minutes later.

He yawned. 'What happened while I was gone?'

As soon as he asked himself that, a screen popped up in front of his eyes.

[SYSTEM]

[INTRODUCTION]

[1/2]

[In order to activate the System, say the words "Activate System" in your mind, and focus.]

[In order to spend Statistic Points, focus on what statistics you wish to spend the points on. (E.g. AGILITY)]

[In order to learn new abilities at a faster rate or completely master them instantly, focus on what abilities you wish to learn. Costs Ability Points.]

'So... I just focus?'

[2/2]

[Health represents your vital signs. Can be increased via STRENGTH.]

[Stamina represents your ability to physically exert yourself. Can be increased via AGILITY and ENDURANCE.]

[Mana represents your ability to cast your magic spells and skills until mana sickness settles in. Can be increased via INTELLIGENCE.]

[Continue? Y/N]

'What is this? Can anyone else see what I'm seeing?'

Just as he asked himself those words, a voice was heard in his mind. It was the voice of the ball of light.

"No one else can see the System. Only you."

Niall was startled by the voice in his mind, jumping back and hitting the wall behind him.

"Ow... Why didn't you tell me you could do that without showing yourself first?"

"I have. But there is no time. I must recuperate. You must get stronger. I have given you three Statistic Points and an Ability Point as a reward for the soul you have provided. Allocate them."

"How do I get stronger?"

He was met with silence.

He tried activating the System once more, and the screen appeared. He focused on ending the introduction and went through the list.

________________

[Passive Skills] - [Night Vision (Level 1)], [Ambusher]

[Available Points] - (1)

He focused on his Ambusher skill.

[Ambusher] (Allows the user to remain undetected more easily while stalking. Attacking unsuspecting prey causes more damage.)

He decided to open his skill list.

[Sharp Fangs] (Fangs puncture through armor and skin more efficiently.)

[Sharp Claws] (Claws tear through armor and skin more efficiently.)

[Thick Fur] (Fur dissipates some mana upon contact, reducing magic damage.)

'I don't know what I should really pick... Probably the teeth?'

[Sharp Fangs] acquired.

Just as he acquired his new passive skill, he could feel his teeth changing into a new shape. They still felt natural, at least. He did not feel as powerless as he used to.

'I'll place the rest of the points in strength.'

He felt more powerful than ever as his muscles began growing stronger.

He picked up the scent of the other human whom he attacked earlier. The man with the mace and the shield.

'Do I stand a chance?'

He got up on all fours once more and snuck towards the hallway, hoping to successfully ambush him.

The man was almost there. He was about to walk past the doorway when he stopped before passing by it.

*Clang*

He hit his mace against the wall, causing the noise to echo throughout the room the wolf was in. Niall yelped as he jumped backwards, alerting the man to his presence.
