[The Secret base!]

-----Mike's POV Unknown Location-----

'...there' I allocated the fifteen free stat points in Str, Int, and Con, five each. I ignored the dead body of the alien in front of me and looked around the room.

There are a lot of different things in the room, I started to Inspect everything in my surroundings. And found certain useful things.

'...wait a minute, all this machinery ought to be high tech and hard to found right...Can I fit them in my inventory?'

I picked up a microscope and placed it in my inventory, the microscope disappeared from my hand and a notification popped up.

[Advanced gamma microscope, model-G28 added to inventory]

'...Okay, time to clean this place out...I'll make the owner cry after I am done with this place.'

I went crazy and utilizing the speed of a specialized C-ranked agility-focused ability transferred everything in the room to my inventory. Looking around the empty room,' well...empty except for the body of an alien just randomly lying around in the middle of the room.'

[You can always hide the body in your inventory...]

'...right, why didn't I think of that.'

One quick homicide evidence hiding later...

'...oka,y a squeaky clean room, nothing too suspicious...'

There was no other door so I went back towards the original room and decided to clean the wounds of the alien's body and placing it in place of where I was before.

After hiding the wound with a random piece of machinery for, probably scanning brainwave activity, I moved towards the second door next to the first one.

I could hear little murmurs coming from the room next door and opened the door silently.

"...We just can't deal with this, again and again, we need more subjects to test and modify those new serums and these test subjects keep losing their abilities every 2-3 months...Damn it why do they lose their ability so soon after we capture them. If they kept their ability for a little more time we would be able to speed up the production process by at least 4 times..." Unknown speaker 1

"Well, we did have a new subject coming in, It's not much but at least we could still function for another 2 months at least. This extraction was a little complicated though, so most of the security force is stationed outside to check that no one breaches and finds the base." Unknown speaker 2

"Yeah, at least we were lucky we got our hands on that alien with the same ability...It's weird though right I thought this ability only appeared among humans...but that spirit alien, although almost all of their species have mind related abilities, like illusions and stuff, this one had regeneration like the previous humans..."Unknown speaker 1

"Yeah, there is more to this ability probably, the higher-ups have already flagged the ability as a potential avenue for research...You wanna check up on the new subject before closing here." Unknown speaker 2

"Nah! He'll be out for at least another 2 days, we'll check up on him tomorrow, let's close up here and log our results back in the terminal."Unknown speaker 1

"Yeah see you in a bit..." Unknown speaker 2

I waited some more before entering camouflage mode and entering the room to see both of them working on two terminals away from each other...I silently moved towards the closest guy. He looked fairly tall and I just placed the gun at his temple and fired while simultaneously grabbing his body and throwing it in my inventory behind me.

*bang*

[Ping!]

[Ping!]

...

I ignored the notifications as the other researcher scrambled and fell upon hearing a muffled gunshot and as he was getting up and looking around to where the other researcher was I aimed again and shot him right in between his eyes…

*bang*

[Ping!]

[Ping!]

...

Ignoring the notifications I walked around and looked around to hear if anyone would appear if the room was bugged or under surveillance.

'Okay, this is getting a bit too easy. Why is a top-secret facility ignoring the most basic security protocols...' I searched both the researchers of any belongings. Getting some access cards I deposited both of them in my inventory.

'Zoey can you bring back those notifications for me...'

[Sure]

[Stealth modifier- 10x]

[Damage= 10000*10=100,000 HP]

[Researcher Zake Frost Killed]

[Exp Gained = Lv. difference *100]

[3500 Exp awarded]

[Ping!]

[Levelup!]

[Ping!]

[Levelup!]

[Stealth modifier- 5x]

[Damage= 10000*5=50,000 HP]

[Researcher Aaron Frost Killed]

[Exp Gained = Lv. difference *100]

[3200 Exp awarded]

[Ping!]

[Levelup!]

[Ping!]

[Levelup!]

'...'

I looked back at the researchers and they were B ranked at most. 'Yeah, maybe I'll just be a murderer...anyway the only reason I am getting such easy levels is because of stealth kills and the fact that they are so many levels above me… anyway let's look at ...status'

[Level: 19]

[Exp:1200/1900]

[HP: 1900/1900]

[Str: 25]

[Int: 25]

[Con:25]

[Dex:40]

[Luck:?]

[Points: 20]

'I still need to be faster in case I encounter someone who could actually fight back, I could run away...yup plan B' I placed 10 points each in STR and CON and wait for my body to stabilize.

'Okay, this looks like a place that has access to some information…' I walked up to the second researcher's computer and started browsing for information…

'...'

'...'

"Why am I not surprised, no wonder I was the first one to complete the system quest, these people have been abducting everyone possible with the system for their regeneration ability to test out the effects of various medicines and serums...what are these serums..."

'...'

'...crazy...they are trying to replicate the ability of the 7 S-rankers...the latest stable serum can grant someone the ability to teleport anywhere in the universe if they have gone to that place...the side-effects are, severe weakness, hunger, and other random effects...maybe that's how they abducted me...anyway that is some major point for humanity, but I don't think they will be willing to share...'

'...'

'...So many kids that had the system died before even realizing what life was...so much exp...okay don't think about exp now.'

I connected the terminals to my watch and as soon as I did that the terminal started to hack into my watch. If not for my upgraded tech I don't know what would have happened. I copied everything I could find on my watch and then went back and did the same with the other terminal.

'...okay done with all the data...Zoey can you map out a route for me to escape…'

[Analysing data...creating map...plotting route...]

[Host there is a 30% possibility of escape according to your current stats and abilities. The escape chances can be increased to 75% if you purchase two abilities from the shop.]

'...right, fuck I got some points for killing the alien with the system...alright show me the abilities'

[Grave robber (E+): 6000 coins- gain one knowledge from recently deceased person]

[Shape shifter(E):2000 coins- gain the ability to morph the outer structure of your body to that of someone else]

'...okay that works, but why are these abilities so low ranked, these are some of the higher-ranked abilities out there...'

[These abilities are ranked low-tier because they have higher-ranked versions available in the system]

[Ping!]

'...warm' warmth flooded my body again as I stood there waiting for my body to stabilize…

'...'

*sigh*

'...that felt awesome...but I need to get out of here...so, let's go with you Mr.Zake'

I dumped Zake's body out of my inventory and I guess his neck cracked when he fell headfirst on the ground…

'...nope not a sadist don't worry about it...'

'...I need to stop talking to myself'

'...'

Okay, this chap took fewer words than I thought... nevermind I'll be back tommorow as it is 5:30 AM back home.peace!
