9 Piss and Shit

"Thank you for the free ride, Mister Andrew." Luke thanked him after exiting the car.

"You're welcome. Take care of yourself, lad!" Andrew said from the window's car before the car drifted away from his sight.

Exhaled loudly, Luke proceeds to enter his house.

"I'm home," Luke yelled as he put his shoes on the rack. Stepping inside the living room, he noticed his mother was nowhere to be seen.

'She's must be working now' Luke thought to himself before remembered something.

'System!'

With that thought, Luke immediately summoned the system.

<Level: 3>

<EXP: 30/150>

<STR: 5>

<DEX: 5>

<INT: 5>

<VIT: 5>

<Stat Points: 10> (Automatically added by 5 points every time user levelled up.)

<HP: 5/10>

<Stamina: 3/10>

<FP: 10/10>

<Notifications> (4)

Choosing the notification option curiously, another system notification emerged.

<You've successfully defeated your opponents>

<You've been rewarded by 10 EXP, 20 EXP, 100 EXP, and 20 EXP>

<You've leveled up>

'That much?' Luke thought in shock and started recalled the battles he experiences today.

'The first person I beat was Puly. The second was Johny's lackey #1, the third one was Johny, and the last one was another Johny's lackey. The reward I got clearly stated that I received 10 EXP, 20 EXP, 100 EXP, and 20 EXP. It means, defeating a person with a power comparable to his lackey would be rewarded 20 EXP, whereas defeating a Transcender like Johny would be given a prize of 100 EXP.' Luke concluded inwardly.

After sorting his thought, his attention turned to the stat point he accomplished.

"10 Stat points," Luke mumbled under his breath as he fell into deep thought. STR represents strength, whilst DEX agility. As for INT and VIT, he assumed both the points related to FP and SP. As for now, he didn't need much FP since he practically had no skill or spell on his arsenal.

Sighing on himself, Luke chooses to spend 5 points on DEX, while another 5 points will be distributed fairly at STR, VIT, and INT.

After done with the work, Luke slumped tiredly on the couch as the exhaustion gradually possessed his body.

...

Luke didn't know how much hours did he waste by sleeping. He only gets stirred at his sleep upon vaguely heard the door entrance creaked, followed by his mother's voice, "Luke? Are you inside the home yet?"

Rubbing his eyes in drowsiness, Luke groggily replied, "I'm here, mom."

Wearing a thick white coat, Luke's mother placed the plastic bag she been held over the floor and inquired, "Eh! How come you're already home? Aren't you supposed to arrived home at 4 o'clock?"

"Something happened at the school, and I was advised to go home in advance."

"What happened?" Luke's mother doubtfully asked while an ominous feeling began to rise within her heart.

"There's a fight broke out in the school," Luke said as he observed his mother's expression.

"Oh, dear!" Luke's mother covered her mouth in shock before promptly approaching Luke, "Then, did you get hurt or something?

Since his parents would be invited to the school tomorrow due to the trouble he caused, there's no reason for him to lie to his mother now, "I'm directly involved with the incident." Seeing his mother's expression turned to aghast, Luke quickly reassured her, "But I'm not injured."

Watching her son attempting to pacify her, she brought her finger upon Luke's forearm and pinched it lightly, which succeeded in drawing a painful groan from Luke, "What are you groaning at? Didn't you say you didn't get wounded? Then what about these bruises? Do you think mom is blind?"

Realizing his lie was unveiled, Luke cursed inwardly for being a bad liar before laughing dryly, "How can you say that, mom? Anyway, these bruises weren't that fatal."

"Look, aren't I still could move normally?" Luke repeatedly jumped at the same place and performed some basic moves to convince his mother that he's in a healthy state.

"Okay, okay, mom understand. So, please stop moving already. You make me dizzy."

Stopping his actions, Luke begins to sit down beside his mother once again, "Did you believe me now?"

Faced with his son's weird antics, Luke's mother pretended to be pondered for a moment before replied, "Of course not! Quickly open up your clothes. I'm going to apply for some medicine on those wounds."

'Oh no! Not again!' Luke thought in horror, but his mother already one step ahead.

...

During curing time, Luke explained the whole accident and warned her that he might get expelled tomorrow due to the chaos he made today.

Luke's mother patiently waited until his explanation ended before narrowed her eyes in suspicion, "When did you become that strong, Luke? Beating 4 guys where one of them is Transcender seems impossible in my eyes if the perpetrator is you."

"Honestly, mom, I got myself a treasure yesterday!" Luke exclaimed.

"Oh? Is this treasure related to the sudden increase in your strength?" Luke's mother asked curiously.

"Yeah, I think I found a potion yesterday!"

"W-What?? A potion??" Luke's mother was obviously taken aback by Luke's statement. Who wouldn't know potion in Aine? It was a heavenly treasure that can transform someone ordinary into a completely different person with a chance of possessing a unique ability. Thus, hearing her son discover a potion and probably already consumed it shocked her to the core.

"W-Where do you find it?" Luke's mother inquired after recovered from the shock she received earlier.

"On the roadway to home." Luke lied without batting an eye.

"Are you really sure it was a potion? Because from the news I've heard from our neighbour, animals tend to piss and shit on bottles or things that could contain their feces."

"Are you saying that the thing I consumed was a piss or shit from an animal, mom?" Luke gritted his teeth in both annoyance and amusement hearing his mother thought.

"Haha, nevermind of that. So you're on a transformation stage now?" Although Luke's mother's knowledge regarding Transcender matter is shallow, she knows about the Transformation stage experienced by all Transcenders. It was a transition stage where a person that consumed potion would get its physical body improved day by day till that person completely transforms into a Transcender. Along with the advancement into a Transcender, an extraordinary ability would then emerged.

"More or less," Luke said vaguely. He wasn't sure either about his current strength. He hoped that he could attain an ability as soon as possible, considering how mighty the system creator is.

Luke's mother initially wanted to ask more questions when her sight landed at the view of Luke's exhausted face. Refraining herself from barraging another question, Luke's mother said, "Go rest a bit more. When I'm done cooking, I'll call you."

"Thank you, mom." Luke still feels weak even after resting, and answering his mother's interrogation cost him a brain burn since he needs to think about several logical lies to satisfy her demands of curiosity. Hence, when Luke heard his mother urged him to rest, he immediately does as she said.
