chapter 4 : oh boy

From the August 6th, 1945 and onwards, humans used objects that symbolized mass destruction. Each new generation of these weapons was more destructive than the last and before the system came in, humans were potentially able to thoroughly destroy life on Earth.

A result of the combination of science, greed, hatred, and genius. These weapons contributed greatly to make humanity a B rated potential species (the internet being the other major contributor ).

In fact, the only thing keeping the humans from having an A-rated potential is that even in the face of a common enemy: pollution among others, they still can't fight it together and are divided.

Now, since the system appeared, a single man, without science, genius, and other objects were able to make a miniature version of this weapon with only his abilities.

" Madness, pure madness ... and here I thought I specialized in one Vs one ... My ability made a tier one spell a small nuke ... "

In place of the hideous, green, shorty congregation was now a blank. Yes, a blank with writhing darkness that still tries to corrode the ground. There were still corroding corpses here and there within a thin black fog.

Even Luke who only had an ever-present indifferent face when he was by himself couldn't help but be gobsmacked at this ability. ' it's really a cheat ' ( number 4 ability of the universe )

Then he observed around and saw that 8 of the cane holding goblins were out of range and alive. He dashed towards them using spacewalk and slashed at them with his daggers while they were still shocked.

While killing them, he couldn't help but marvel at his changed body. He already had very high agility which certainly wasn't only running speed but it included dexterity and nerves responding. The only problem was that his perception didn't increase so he was almost seeing blurs by his movement . ' Since perception doesn't increase with agility, it most certainly will increase with intelligence, so I will have to invest into it as well...

Thinking back, intelligence should be a fairly important stat. I don't think it will make me smarter but critical thinking, perception, and memory should be enhanced. Furthermore, from games, it is maybe connected to mana '

Aaaaand the system interrupted him like always.

* Congratulations human Luke, you completed the quest in 10 seconds... calculating...as this was a feat never thought possible you earned a special reward... calculating... you earned a vial of species evolution and 500 PTS *

' Uh huh, now let's see what is that vial, though I already have an idea.

* Vial of species evolution T2: a medicine made for the evolution of the existence of it's user to tier 2

_ enhance soul to T2

_ enhance body to T2

_ enhance mind to T2 *

' What are the benefits of advancing to T2? '

His question might sound silly but if he had ever learned anything the hard way, it's that silly questions are often the ones that should be asked no matter what.

* Becoming a T2 species :

_ gives you the right to tier 2 spells

_ Makes your innate ability evolve once

_ makes your presence deterrent towards lower species ( tier one and zero ) thanks to your strengthened soul.

_ You will be recognized as a soldier. *

' Alright then let's become a tier 2 species ' He quickly decided since, well, the benefits are huge but before he could drink it, he heard the system once again.

* Warning: As the first to have the qualifications to become a T2 of your entire species, you will become its champion and will participate in the champions' battlefield. Moreover, as a breaker of record, you will be sent to the elite one.

There you will have to fight other champions and beasts to strive for your own military career and your species's wellbeing.

Thanks to your outstanding performance, your species's noncombatants' treatment will evolve from poor to ordinary.

It's strongly advised to wait until the end of the third quest for more personal benefits. *

' Personal benefits? Then let's wait for the third quest. '

* Update: since you were too outstanding, you will have a mandatory boss fight.

For your boss fight, you will be faced against a beginner tier 2 species. You will have to either kill it or last 15 minutes.

rewards: 500 points for the kill

200 points for lasting 15 minutes

The boss will spawn in 5 minutes, prepare well. *

' Alright then let's first store dark hands again, and as it will be my trump card in the future I can't use everything in a single shot anymore. In only 5 mins, I won't be able to store a lot. Hmm! wait ! Intelligence should be related to mana restore since right now I restore 1 mana every 20 seconds, so 3 mana/min with 14 ints which means a normal human should be 1.5 mana/min. For this fight, I will have 25 dark hands, no I will buy 10 ints enhance, like this, I will have 35 dark hands with 5 mana/min '

He then bought and used them quickly.

For the next 5 minutes, Luke decided to rest since the mental fatigue of depleting his mana couldn't be ignored.

* The boss will spawn immediately, good luck soldier Luke * ' Heh, I'm already recognized as a soldier? whatever... '

Just as the system finished, a muscular, 3 meters tall hideous ogre appeared in front of Luke and he couldn't help but have his lips twitch.

' Why the f*ck is it blue? '
