Edmund immediately equipped his new gear and his stats underwent a significant change.

The one thing he couldn't equip was Mjolnir, but that was understandable. He simply wasn't yet worthy.
Anna, again, couldn't believe her eyes. First Edmund gets struck by lightning and just shrugs it off, somehow getting more attractive in the process, and now equipment appears out of nowhere and Edmund is currently wearing it looking like it's no big deal!
His chainmail was a shining silver, with woven, finely interlocking circles, making it look almost impenetrable. The breeches were a dull brown leather but looked like they could take a few blows. His boots came halfway up his legs and were a matte black, with streaks of blue through them, like lightning. His belt was a deep maroon colour, encircling his waist and pulling the chainmail tight to his body.
[You have a message from Thor. Would you like to read it? Yes/No]
'That's a stupid question.' thought Edmund.
"Yes"
"Yes what?" asked Anna.
"Nothing, it's just something on the system." Edmund said, ignoring her and turning back to look at his message.
[Edmund, congratulations on being the first to reach level ten! Honestly, I thought it would take you longer. Anyway, there isn't much I can tell you but don't become complacent just because you have gotten this far, continue to work hard and become stronger. Make me proud! Do this and maybe one day you will be worthy of wielding that little gift I sent you. I mean Mjolnir, by the way. Oh also, when you reach level 25, you will get a class upgrade. Same with levels 50, 75 and 100. Good Luck! And you're probably going to want to get yourself a decent weapon as well, that little hammer you got there ain't gonna cut it. - Thor
Ps. You might want to choose a name for yourself.]
'So later on, I'll be able to advance my class. Thor's right though, I should get a decent weapon. Maybe there's something in the system shop?'
Opening up the system shop, Edmund took a quick look. There was millions of things in it! It would take ages to go through all of this!
After scrolling through a bit more, he came across a filter function. The hammer had worked out pretty well for him and seeing as he had a proficiency with it, he decided to use the filters 'weapon' and 'hammer'.
After scrolling through the options for a little bit, he came across something that caught his eye.
[Basic Battle Hammer: A good starting weapon for those learning how to use a Hammer in battle. Cost: 40 hacksilver.]
Admittedly, it wasn't the best weapon, but it was a damn sight better than what he currently had. And it was in his price range. He clicked the buy button and the weapon began to materialize in the air in front of him.
It had a short wooden handle, just long enough to be wielded one handed and a small head, with the size getting continually larger the further from the center you got, ending with two flat faces either side, perfect for smashing your enemies heads in. His belt had a small loop which he used to hold his new hammer.
'Alright, now about naming myself.'
[NAME: ???]
'Well, if I'm going to be Thor's successor, I might as well go all in!'
[NAME: Thor]
[Congratulations! You have fully embraced your new life by giving yourself a new name! You have earned 5 unspent stat points]
'Okay, that brings my unspent stat points to ten. Lets add 5 to constitution and 5 to vitality. If I'm going to come across stronger foes, I'm going to need to be able to shoulder their blows.' he thought.

Happy with how he was progressing and finished for now, Edmund turned to focus on Anna who had, for the duration of the changes Edmund had made, been sat in the snow, thoroughly astonished and confused.
Edmund walked towards her and helped her up before asking his question.
"So, why were you out here on your own?"
"I wasn't." she replied, slightly embarrassed, her cheeks flushing with colour, "Me and my friends were out partying when some of those creatures came in and started killing people. We ran and got separated." she said, with a slightly disheartened tone.
"Well then, lets go find them." said Edmund as he turned and started walking away.
