Chapter 17 Understanding
I am tired, not physically, but mentally, I have been fighting these mindless puppets for who knows how long, and every time I wasn't able to cast a spell because my MP had run dry I had to evade fighting as hard as I could because these adults were...
---------------------
Mindless Human Solider Lv. 15
Mindless normal humans caught by Hydra and put through training to be used as canon fodders.
Strength: High resistance to pain and physical damage
---------------------
Dangerous.
I am a kid, and my stats apart from Int and Wis, are times lower than a normal adult, I had a hard time keeping up with a normal rabbit, and these are way faster and most important stronger.
Every hit they delivered, every grab, slap, scratch, it hurt, my pain suppression trait being constantly on to keep my mind away from pain.
I am scared, but Gamer's Mind blocked me from stopping, I was hurt, but Gamer's Body prevented my body from falling apart, I am tired, but my soul refuses to go down like this.
'Not now that I am free, not now that I have someone that cares for me, not now.'
As the nth adult got killed by a spinning mana arrow piercing his right eye, I received a welcome surprise.
---------------------
Level up
+ 5 Status Point
+1 Perk point
Xp for next level: 0/4000
---------------------
This time I immediately allocated the 5 points in Vitality, currently, I don't need damage, I need survivability.
' They can keep going, I won't fall, the more they send the more I fight, the more of them that die, the more I can kill, I don't need emotions, what I need now is staying calm and keep killing.'
Just as I was expecting another human, the voice of the man I had first seen when I woke up once again started speaking.
" Truly marvellous Mister Potter, your adaptability is super, your ability with magic is something leagues above other normal Wizard, being able to use Chantless and Wandless is something no normal Wizard should be able to do, truly intriguing."
Suddenly the room started getting filled up with a strange green gas, and before my eyes closed due to the heavy feeling I read a notification.
---------------------
You have gained a new resistance
Drug Resistance Lv.1
---------------------
And then I couldn't resist anymore and I fainted.
.
.
.
When I opened my eyes I immediately got up and cast two-mana bolts, ready to shoot at anything that was moving.
But unlike what I expected, no one was in sight.
The only things inside this room, if you can even call it that way, are a bed attached to the wall, a toilet with a roll of paper and the door, nothing more.
I ignored the strange feeling of Deja Vu and headed for the door.
' Of course, the door has to be taller than me.'
Instead of using the window from where people usually watch, I opened what I assumed is the area where food is given, to look around.
Only to get welcomed by nothing but a corridor with several dozens of cells like the one I was inside.
So I decided to open up my map, and I was happy for an instant that the whole journey from the dungeon area to here had been saved on the map, but the next instant my happiness died at the mere number of red dots that were inside the building I was currently inside, hundreds, some glowing more brightly than others.
I am doomed with a capital D, there is no way I can fight alone all of these enemies, even more, if I consider the possibility of some of the enemies being stronger than your average Mindless human.
Currently, my Vit had just reached 20, twice the Vit of a normal 10-year-old, giving me a total of 300 HP, every hit I had received from those humans had dealt between 20 to 40 HP unless other enemies were as stupid as them, then they won't only aim for arms or legs.
'What can I do? Should I wait for help? I don't know long it will take, in the meantime, I could get in a worse situation and die a miserable death, I don't want that to happen, and I won't let that happen.'
I opened up my perk point system, searching for something I could buy that would help in the next battle.

'Now do I choose between damage or being able to take more hits... until now they were able to hit me because my MP always got dry due to the low amount I have, I will buy Mana Storage Lv.1'
MP 675 => 825
Happy with the results I didn't waste any more time and started doing physical exercise while creating a mana vortex.
After finding a pace that made me able to stay in permanent motion, by consuming less than my MP and SP regen, I continued to train, the feeling of hunger and tiredness now erased from my body.
Every 5 minutes a ding came, and a +1 in either End or Str arrived, while My mana regen was taking more time since it has already gotten to level 20, but even if slow, the level-ups still arrived.
After 5 hours of being in this state, the door of my cell opened, making me get back to reality, and letting me finally take an actual look at all the rewards.

---------------------
I turn towards the man that had opened my door, his uniform was exactly the same as the first man I had seen, damn, even his haircut was the same, the only difference between them being the location of their scars.
" You are summoned to do some other tests."
