{Author's Note}

Many of you guys have requested to pump more chapters. I understand your eagerness as I have the same feeling when reading a novel.

That's why I will use the skill of equivalent exchange. If by the end of February, the book receives a minimum of 10 reviews, I will increase the number of chapters per week to 4.

It will be Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun.

Special thanks to @edu_rodeiro, @please_be_gentle_, and @Master_of_void for the reviews.

Happy reading.

--------------------------

Abraham was currently inside the VR pod and inside a match. In front of him was a level 5 opponent. The man had a bow and arrow as a beast weapon. When Abraham first saw the weapon, he had the idea of making his opponent use all his arrows and when nothing was left, he would attack. But to his surprise, each missed shot caused the arrow to disappear and back into the quiver.

On top of that, each arrow was unique. Some had acid released from them while others would cause an explosion. Currently, Abraham was evading a nest that was released from an arrow. Abraham felt very annoyed by his opponent but he knew that such a fight was very meaningful. It pushed Abraham to always think of a new solution. He had to adapt quickly if he wanted to win the fight.

One of the features of the game was it allowed spectators. During his several fights and wins, he gained a few followers. Some were supporting him while others were waiting for his first loss.

Both Abraham and his opponent were fully concentrated in their fight. Any mistake from one would cause the other to take advantage. Abraham on his side was slowly gaining an understanding of each arrow's power. His opponent had used a total of eight different arrows and after a while, Abraham didn't notice any more types. Both of them had their total hp as no attack has landed yet. Whenever Abraham would get close, his opponent activated his boot's equipment and evaded him.

It was a battle of endurance which hit the 15-minute mark. This was the longest dual Abraham was fighting. The average fight only lasted for around 5 minutes and most lasted even below.

After his opponent threw an arrow of type explosion, Abraham used the cover of the smoke to rush to his opponent. The arrow user quickly activated his boots and moved to his right. This time Abraham's plan was working. During the three previous escapes, the ability user would always evade on his right side. Immediately, Abraham activated his flash step and went to his left. His opponent was trying to escape but instead, he found himself in front of Abraham. He knew immediately that was the end when a kick was already on his face.

[ Opponent has been defeated 25 exp has been earned ]

[60 win / 0 loss]

Like some matches, after its end, Abraham received a friend request from his opponent. He accepted the request but never replied to any of their messages.

It was night and Abraham was done with his 15 matches per day. Since his meeting with the Green family, they offered him to stay at their place. After four days and several matches, Abraham was ready to make his first planet exploration.

He opened his status window that has a look at his new stats. Of the 30 unique types of blood remaining from the war in the lesser district, Abraham had drunk 20. The ten remaining was all of type O and as his blood bank was decreasing every time he consumed the blood, he decided to leave them for an emergency.

[Name: Abraham Talen]

[Race: Halfling]

[HP 105/105]

[Level 8] [2580/12800 exp]

[Strength 35]

[Agility 35]

[Stamina 40]

[Attribute points available (10)].

From the twenty types of blood, his stamina increased by 10 while his strength and agility raised by five. He had also requested blood from the Green husband and wife and they both willingly gave it to Abraham. Both were of type O, so Abraham got two more free attributes.

Abraham went toward the lab and just as he was about to knock, both of them were standing by the now-opened door. It seemed that the Ai Ash had informed his master about Abraham coming toward the lab. Both asked Abraham about his fight and then Abraham suggested adding the option of selecting different terrains inside the game. It would help to mimic real-life scenarios. When Abraham announced that he was leaving, both of them advised him to be extremely careful as a red planet had many grave dangers. Tom also handed Abraham a traveler bag that contained the books he requested, a bottle of water, and some emergency kits.

Through the aircraft of the Green family, Abraham got to the portal station. It was being supervised by soldiers to keep law and order. Abraham gave one soldier his ticket and after verifying the ticket inside the system made by the Green, the soldier guided Abraham to an elevator.

The elevator went underground and Abraham had to open three different doors to come into the room which contained the red portal.

The military had built the portal station into different levels and separated each portal inside different rooms in case a beast got out or the dalki decided to use the portal to invade.

As Abraham stepped into the red portal he felt a tingling sensation all over his body. The world around him started to warp and his mind felt like he was moving among stars.

A few moments later, Abraham found himself in a new environment. It was night but unlike the earth, two moons were shining in the dark sky. Throughout the year, half of it was dark on the planet due to its spin cycle. Straight away, Abraham looked around himself to see if there was any beast or danger. All around him were crumbling building with debris everywhere.

The portal was unable to send you to a pinpoint location but it did put you in the same general area, at least within ten miles of the portal.

Upon circulating Qi energy to his ears, Abraham was able to hear many noises coming from his back. When he looked back, Abraham saw a beast in the form of a rat. Abraham quickly noticed three stories building that was less damaged and knew he was in the right place.

By chance, he was teleported around the same place where Quinn in the novel found himself. Using his super-hearing he was able to run around the place without meeting any beast.

Finally, Abraham found himself in front of a large square-like building. It was the best shape construction around the place. It was a storage building used by the military to keep equipment such as mech and airships. In front of the building, two large steel doors were slightly opened. After listening and peeking inside, Abraham slid himself in between the gap when he confirmed there was no beast inside.

No airship or beast weapon was found and everything else was destroyed. Using his super-sight, he walked inside until he came to a room in the corner of the building. A single steel door with a passcode device was seen. The door was military-grade which meant even those with abilities would find it hard to break it down.

Looking at the passcode device, Abraham used a skill.

[ Inspect ]

[ A passcode machine that is linked to a steel door. Entering the right combination to the door will successfully open it. Please touch the lock for more information. ]

Abraham did as instructed by the system and touched the lock. He then used the Inspect skill once more.

[ A passcode machine that is linked to a steel door. Entering the right combination the door will successfully open. The combination to the door is 2536725364 ]

After entering the code, the door made a beep sound and it opened.
