Chapter 3: System! Ability of Time!

Marvin's eyes widened in suspenseful glee as he intently gazed at the Stats screen.

"Is it real?" Marvin was surprised by the sudden gain of attributes and the increase in his Magical Power.

A person's Attribute is determined at the time of awakening, but there have been some cases of reawakening. But Marvin was sure that he wasn't one of them, as he had obtained a system!

He turned to focus on his magical power. It was only 0.1 before, but now it has increased to 5 points. He has reached the peak of rank-1.

Now, he wasn't the weakest Ability user!

Anyways, Higher Magic Power suggests a greater Power level. There was only one other way to increase Magic Power, and that was to slay Magical beasts to get their Magic Power core.

Magic Power Cores are valuable stones that are found inside the bodies of Magic Beasts.

An awakened can increase his Magic Power by absorbing Magic Power cores. But it's hard to kill magical beasts. Furthermore, it's one of the main reasons why hunter hunts magical beasts. Magic Power core is very valuable and can make Hunter's life easier.

The Core of a Rank 3 Magical beast is worth around 5000$. Even the core of Rank 2 Magical beasts is worth around 1000$ in the markets.

'Killing even a single Rank 2 magical beast has been a big challenge for me, and I have never managed to hunt one down even by putting in all of my efforts. Maybe I can now. Let's look at my abilities!'

Marvin's gaze traveled to the Ability Menu of the stats screens. There he saw Skill Development Point, Time Halt, and Gamers body.

'What do they do?' He thought, almost suddenly, a notification popped up in his vision.

There he saw the description of the Skill Development point and the two Abilities.

‹Skill Development point: Can be used to learn Ability. Can be used to Advance existing Ability›

‹Active Ability: Martial Arts: Combine mana with the body to increase body power›

‹Magic Ability: Time halt (Level:1): The power to stop the time of a singular being or thing while still being able to move around normally. Time halt can be activated with a single thought. The Gamer can stop the time of any living or non-living thing in his vision or perception!

Consumes 1 Magic Power Per Second›

‹Passive Ability: Gamers body: The User has become a game type character in the world. To further understand it press 0›

"Press 0?" Marvin exclaimed. There were no buttons on the status screens. His eyes blinked in rapid thoughts, 'Maybe I can use my smartphone and press 0 to fulfill system requirement?'

He pulled out his smartphone, the screen was broken, yet it was still somehow working. Marvin raged, "I really wanna beat those bastards!"

The smartphone screen has certainly cracked under the vicious beating of the school bullies. He shook his head in distress. Without any further adieu, he opened the phone call app and pressed the numerical number 0 on it.

"Status Screen, Ability Screen!" Marvin shouted, and the semitransparent screens in his vision vanished without leaving a single trace behind.
