chapter 2 : the system
astin woke up to find himself on bed. but not the bed of his apartment then he heard a familiar voice.
"Wake up sleepy head breakfast is ready"
"Yes mom" said astin
when he went downstairs, he saw his father holding the newspaper while drinking his coffee.
"Good morning dad" said astin
"Good morning astin" said his father
astin then went to take a seat and started to speak to his father about playing football when they finish having breakfast since he lost by 2 points yesterday.
"Very well I except your challenge but don't forget loser cleans the dishes" said the father with a smirk.
"Very well then " said astin then his mother brought a plat with eggs and lots of jerky's.
astin couldn't wait to dig in and started eating his breakfast then he started to look at the window and so a weird black dote, and it started getting closer and closer which got bigger and then it crashed into the house.
astin fell to the ground and his view was blurry then he saw his mother carrying him and running away and all he could see was the big black ball and he knew what it was.
"MOM, DAD IS STILL IN THERE"
astin finally woke up and he saw himself on the floor of his apartment.
"So, it was a dream" said astin while trying to forget but then tears started to come out.
"m-mom dad I'm sorry" he then started to cry while lying on the floor. astin and his family was in a safe zone when the war happened or so did, he think one giant was able to kill everyone in the safe zone and giant ran away when killed every leaving astin the last survivor.
after that he wanted to get revenge, he started learning martial arts, boxing everything he could. but he didn't have enough money to buy himself an ability scroll. no matter how much he trained, he is nothing in front of an ability user.
when he finished crying, he got up and started to get his shit together since crying won't get him anywhere.
[you finally woke up. you know how long I've been waiting here?]
astin jumped from his place and looked around and no one was there.
"So, I'm possessed now that's ###### great"
[what did you call me a$$hole I dare you to say it again]
astin is now a 100% sure his possessed now.
[ok that's it]
suddenly astin felt that electricity ran through his whole
[if you dare compare me to those low beings again then count yourself dead, oh wait your already dead] said the strange guy while laughing.
"Just what are you " said astin while trying to get up.
[sorry for the late introduction my name is James, and I came from that black scroll that you opened and....]
astin ignored what he was saying and looked around trying to find the black scroll. but it was gone but it wasn't the only thing that was gone. since he couldn't find the box.
[looking for this?]
suddenly the box came out of nowhere, astin didn't care how it was gone all what he cared about was that the box was here. when he was going to reach the box to open it. it disappeared again.
[you think I'll allow a human like you to do whatever he wants with my treasury]
"GIVE IT BACK"
[or what? don't forget who's the boss here]
and just like last time astin felt electricity running through his whole body.
[if you want anything from my treasury then you need to prove yourself first now let's get this over with, we wasted enough time already I'll keep my identity a secret all I can tell you is that my name James and you have been gifted with the system why don't you have a look for yourself]
then a screen popped right in front of him.

[well that's quite impressive a normal human would only have states from10 to 20 but you far exceeded that]
astin finally thought that his hard work and training gave him something for a long time he thought no matter how much he tried nothing will change. but all he could do was defeat a low ability user nothing more.
he then started to do the push-ups and was able to finish the 100 push-ups without a problem since it was part of his normal everyday training routine. after he finished the push-ups, he started set-ups and after that the squats.
30 minutes.
sweat was all over astin body while he was doing his squats, he only had one more squat left before he finishes and gave it his all when he finished, he threw himself on the ground and started huffing from how tired he got. he then went to open his fridge and got himself a bottle of water and began downing it he then tried to check his progress but didn't know how
[just think about a screen opening]

he then looked at his states and saw the higher state he has was his and stamina and his endurance. his stamina was too high because of how addicted he was for training and his endurance was the second high for how much he beaten and bullied at school.
he didn't know what to use those points for and after long thinking he decided to put it all to his agility
