Clara

At night in the middle of the forest, A young man with white hair was staring blankly in the air. Julian's crimson eye was looking at the available skills in the system shop.

The shop only has three skills displayed, which [Sphere of Umbra] and [Ghostly Step] cost one skill point, while the [Rune of shadow] cost two skill points. Seeing he only has two skill points, Julian thinks whether he would take the [Sphere of Umbra] and [Ghostly Step] or the [Rune Shadow].

In the end, Julian take the [Sphere of Umbra] and [Ghostly Step] as it will give him more option in combat instead of the [Rune of Shadow] that focused only on the damage.

"Umm...[System] do you have a name? So I can call you by your name instead of me calling you in an awkward name." Julian smiled awkwardly and asked the woman in his head.

Ding!

[The system doesn't have a name, but the host can set a nickname for the system! The host also can communicate with the system through his consciousness!]

"Aren't you supposed to say that to me earlier!" Julian speaks in his mind with a hint of irritation.

[...]

The system didn't respond to Julian's question.

"Okay! I will name you [Clara]. It is easy to remember and sound pleasing to ears." Julian named the woman inside of his head.

Ding!

[The system confirmed Clara as its nickname!]

"Clara, can you tell me what is about these mastery points, system point, and level points?."

[The [Mastey Points] is used for upgrading skills, [System Points] is used for buying items and equipment in the shop, and [Level Points] is used for increasing the host stats!]

"I understand... So I need the mastery points for my skill, the system points for buying things in the shop, and the level points for my attributes." Julian's eyes were wide open in surprise.

"Clara, are you a real person or a parasite in my head?." Julian is curious about this strange system in his head.

[The system is an Artificial Intelligence created to unlock host hidden potential!]

"Artificial Intelligence? What's that?" Julian is clueless about Clara's replies.

[Error! The host brain's knowledge is too low to comprehend!]

"What do you mean by that!?" Julian's eyes were offended when Clara called him stupid in a strange way.

[...]

"So what I'm supposed to do now, Clara?" Julian asked Clara with a hint of annoyance.

[The host can complete a quest provided by the system and earn mastery points, level points, system points, and skill points!]

"So it's like that, but I can't see anything about quest on the screen!. where is the quest?." Julian asked Clara while looking at the blue screen.

[The system will provide a quest when the host meet certain circumstances!]

"I see, So I need to search for it..." Julian speaks with a low voice.

After an hour, the young teen looking blankly in the air before was now looking in the sky. Julian looked at the night's sky with his crimson eyes. His eyes were full of emotion, and sentiment, while the beautiful moon and brilliant star are shine's in the night.

...

In the morning, the sun was bright and warm. Within the numerous trees and bushes, a group of seven men is quietly squatting.

The sun's rays bounce on the bald head of a man. The bald man has a scar on his cheek, and his face was ugly as fuck, while behind him were six men wearing extremely tight clothes with many pockets, making them handy for stashing.

All of them were carrying swords or daggers in hand, while their face is painted with nasty and vulgar expression. The bald man turned around and frightening the other thieves with his ferocious face. The bald man suddenly raises his hand in the air and points his finger toward somewhere.

The nasty face of other thieves smiled in great delight and looked at the direction the finger was pointing at. A young teen with white hair and crimson eyes were walking toward them with a blank expression.

A face with a delicate nose, glossy cherry-red lips, and remarkable moles in his face adds more uniqueness to his handsomeness. The young teen was helping a beautiful woman to walk in the forest. Her beautiful nose, thin lustrous lips, and charming blue eyes can easily make any man heart flutter. She is like a fairy walking in the dense forest while all the animal bows before her bright figure. The appearance of the beautiful woman stunned the thieves for a second.

After a second, The bald man grinned and charged toward the young teen and the beautiful woman like a hyena on a hunt.

"HAHAHA. Beauty, your mine now!" The bald man's eyes were full of desire and greed.

As the bald man charges forward and leaving his fellow thieves behind, the young teen runs toward him while holding a wooden stick. Seeing this, the bald man laughs at the young teen's wooden stick. You can see the disdain and contempt in his brown eyes.

'I will enjoy crushing that charming face of yours!.' The bald man spoke inside his mind and glared at the young teen as if he wants to crush the young teen with his hand.

The bald man swings his sword toward the young man, but before it reached its target. The young teen muttered and suddenly appeared beside him and hit him with the wooden stick. The young man was so fast that the bald man was unable to react to the wooden stick.

[Ghost Step]!

Swoosh!

Bang!

Julian's wooden stick smacks the bald man in the left temple. The impact makes the bald man moaned in pain while staggering backward. Then Julian smacks the bald man again in the right temple. The force makes the bald man fall to his knees, while his face was contorted in pain, but before his knees touch the ground, a shadow appeared on his bloody face.

Bang!

Julian savagely kicked the bald man's in the face. The impact sends the bald man flying with his blood and teeth into the air! until landing in the ground a few meters away from Julian. The bald man howled in pain while holding his bloody face with both of his hands. Julian walked toward the bald man, while his wrathful crimson eyes looked at the bald man who's in pain.

"Arggh!" The bald man screamed when Julian stamped him in the chest. The bald man spat out a mouthful of blood and tremble in fear while looking directly at Julian's blazing crimson eyes. He can feel the great pain in his head as if it was deformed by the ruthless wooden stick, and the hard boots pressing his chest makes him gasp for air. Julian was like a handsome devil in the eyes of the bald man.

The other thieves were dumbfounded while looking at their boss that now is trembling in fear while being stamped by the young teen.

Their eyes were almost jumped out of their socket in shock, and the strength of the young teen makes them hesitate to move forward.

After a second, a man holding a knife shout to other thieves.

"Come on! Let's surround him... his alone, and there are six of us!" The man shout awakens the other thieves.

"Yeah! Let's save the boss..." one of the thieves continue on.

"Haaa!"

They moved forward to surround Julian and bully him with their numbers, but before they could surround him. Julian charges at an incredible speed and smashes them with his wooden stick. He was like a ghost that the thieves can't touch.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The thieves fall one by one in front of Julian's wooden stick. . Their swords and knives can't even touch Julian's shadow. They can't do anything about the wooden stick, and Julian ruthlessly smashes them in the head. They spat out blood and teeth when the wooden stick touched them in the face. Their bones cracked when Julian smashes the stick in their knees. Julian beat them so bad that the wooden stick was now covered by their blood, making it more terrifying in the bloody eyes of the thieves.

After a minute, The seven thieves were lying on the ground while all of them were moaning and groaning in pain. Their blood and teeth scattered around the area.

"Please... Spare us!... I promise we won't do it again." The bald man speaks while teeth flews out in his bloody mouth.

"We're sorry... Please spare us!." a man with a bloody face speaks to Julian.

"Spare us! Please, ah my knees!." A man with brown hair apologizes to Julian while holding his knees.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Julian viciously smashed their hand with his wooded stick. Their fingers were broken into parts by the wooden stick while their palm was smashed into a mess. They no longer be able to use their hands as same as before.

Drip!

The blood from Julian's wooden stick drips into the ground. The ground was covered with blood from the thieves. Julian then takes all of their money and equipment without asking whether if they agree or not.

"Make sure you guys will never appear in my eyes again! Now go! Before I change my mind!" Julian roared toward the thieves.

Hearing Julian words, the thieves runs for their life. The thieves hold their bloody head and broken legs while running away from the handsome devil. Seeing the thieves is now gone, Julian sigh in relief.

Julian turned around walked towards his mother. Julia was worried about her son at the beginning of the fight, but her worry was replaced by shock when she saw how to powerful her son has become.

"Are you alright?" Julia asked her son while holding his hand.

"I'm Fine..." Julian smiled at her mother while hearing Clara's voice in his head.

Ding!
