Universal Power System

By the year 2350, Earth was quite different than the futuristic dystopia that was imagined by scientists and comic book authors alike. With greed and corruption more rampant and powerful than ever, human beings were on the brink of ending humanity itself with countless wars and skirmishes. However, before such a tragedy could become a reality for Earth, an unexpected visitor saved humanity from the brink of self-extinction, one who was suffering from the devastating effects of their own extinction event. Humanity had been searching the cosmos for signs of extraterrestrial life for several centuries now, but they didn't expect was to be discovered by an alien race first who were known as the Yalhvi. The Yalhvi were a supernatural race capable of manipulating elements and using other abilities, something that was only considered Sci-Fi up to that point. After suffering from a similar fate in their home world which ultimately led to the destruction of the whole planet, the remaining Yalhvi swore of violence as they scoured the galaxy in search of another suitable planet to call home. A historic peace treaty was forged; granting the Yalhvi residence on Earth. In exchange, the Yalhvi shared their knowledge and revealed the secrets behind their supernatural abilities. With this newfound understanding, humanity slowly began awakening its very own extraordinary powers. Many discoveries were made and humanity advanced forward at an exponential rate. With the help of the Yalhvi, many more secrets were found and questions answered. Humanity expanded its reach much farther than the solar system, finally making contact with dozens of other species within the galaxy and establishing connections, greatly improving their technology thanks to Yalhvi's architecture and design. However, once again humanity fell victim to greed as they didn’t heed the warnings that Yalhvi had given them. Slowly, a hierarchical system emerged, where the strong reigned supreme and the powerless were oppressed. Wars erupted once again, this time posing an even greater threat than nuclear warfare, threatening to destroy all this great progress and risk the very survival of the human race once again. Amidst the chaos, ten courageous warriors arose, standing united to end the devastating conflicts that plagued their world and achieve some semblance of peace. *************** “We welcome humanity to the beginning of a new year and a new century. May we continue to flourish and make many more advancements in the coming years! Here’s to making more cherished memories in 2600!” As the holographic image of a spokesperson projected across Emerald City, announcing the arrival of a brand new year, a young boy named Mako walked through a dimly lit alley, his discontent brewing within. "Humph! Another year of happiness reserved for the privileged and wealthy. For us, it's more of the same," Mako muttered to himself as he continued walking through the alley. Little did he know that a new enemy was about to reveal itself, threatening the destruction of the entire Milky Way Galaxy, and with the dawn of this new year, a path would unveil that destiny had intricately woven for him to become the one who would either save the galaxy or lead to its destruction if he were to fail. Amidst the struggles and injustices, Mako's role in shaping the future would be the key to the survival of trillions of living beings, challenging the oppressive forces that sought to maintain control over everything. *************** If you like this novel then please consider adding them to your Library!

'Hmm....? What is this about?' Mako felt intrigued and decided to check it out immediately by opening the System Interface using his mind.

'Open System Interface'

When Mako first opened the interface only the profile tab was available and the rest were greyed out, but now the quests and the skills tabs were also unlocked. There was a red highlight next to the quests tab reading out 'New!', meaning there was something that was not seen yet which was similar to how the notifications worked.

Each tab still had the '' next to it which displayed more information about that said tab, so before he opened the quests tab; Mako decided to learn what each tab here represented.

[The Quests Tab displays the quests that have been issued by the system to help the user grow more powerful by giving rewards for each completed quest while there are penalties for failing quests too. There are four different types of quests available:-

1) Daily quests are quests that are issued daily and don't take long to complete while having average rewards.

2) Regular quests are quests that may have a real challenge and take longer to complete, but the rewards for them will be more than enough to compensate for the hardships the user faces.

3) Emergency quests are quests that are issued as a state of emergency for the user's own life or of those around him. It provides an incentive in the form of rewards to the user to perform his best in the face of danger.

4) Hidden quests are quests that are secretly issued to the user while the user is not informed at all about their existence. They are optional quests that provide the user with more rewards for doing things in a certain way that completes the quest.]

******************

[Skills] ⓘ

[The skills tab displays all the skills that the user has currently in his arsenal, There are four different types of skills that the user can currently learn:-

1) Basic skills are skills that the user can learn without any source whatsoever, and the user just has to practice and refine them a whole lot.

2) Power skills are skills related to the type of ability you have, and can learn them through various sources.

3) Unique skills are skills that can't be learned but rather created by the user himself. These skills can only be performed by the user, and can't be taught to others. The key to creating unique skills is to combine already existing skills in a new or unique fashion among others.

4) Absolute skills are skills that are akin to finishers or final moves as they usually require a lot of energy to perform and are mostly the final moves that can be learned from a skillset.

Be informed that, when first learned all skills are at level 1 and can be continuously improved upon the more the user uses that particular skill.

Skills are graded in tiers depending on their quality and rarity:-

F-Tier skills are shaded in a grey color and have very low attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

E-Tier skills are shaded in green color and have low attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

D-Tier skills are shaded in blue color and have good enough attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

C-Tier skills are shaded in red color and have decent attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

B-Tier skills are shaded in a purple color and have high attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.

A-Tier skills are shaded in a gold color and have very high attributes such as attack power or defensive strength etc.]

[Inventory] ⓘ

[The Inventory tab displays the system's unique feature as it can store items for the user inside the system's personal space. More information can only be disclosed once the user has unlocked the inventory.]

[Shop] ⓘ

[The Shop tab is a unique feature of the system. As the name implies, the user can access the System's shop and perform purchases such as buying and selling different items. More information can only be disclosed once the user has unlocked the shop.]

Mako was shocked to see how important each tab was after reading the details about each of them. The inventory and shop tabs didn't explain much except their general purpose as they were still locked.

'How do I unlock the other tabs?' Mako asked subconsciously while still browsing over the information he was given.

[The inventory tab will be unlocked when the user reaches level 5, and the shop tab will be unlocked when the user reaches Level 10]

"Woah! Did you just answer what I was thinking about?" Mako was amazed, but this time there was no answer.

"It only replies to genuine questions about itself. Okay, got it!" Mako acknowledged his realization as he finally proceeded to open the quests tab.

[Quests] ⓘ (New!)

[Daily Quests]

Task 1: Run 2000 meters.

Task 2: Do 50 Squats, Push-ups, Crunches, Lunges, and Jumping jacks each.

Task 3: Lift a total of 150 Kg.

[Reward: 50 EXP, 2 Attribute Points]

[Penalty: Hidden]

"Penalty? What is the penalty?" Mako asked but this time there wasn't a reply.

"Well, it's better if I don't find out what the penalty is the other way either," Mako said sarcastically as he closed the system interface and poured himself a bowl of cereal.

[10:17 AM]

Mako still had a lot of time left in the day and the daily quests didn't seem too hard, so he decided to do them right after finishing his breakfast.

Since it was Saturday, Mako didn't have school, but he did have today's shift at the bakery.

"Sir Derek is not gonna let me hear the end of it." Mako realized as he took another spoonful of cereal.

Once done with his breakfast, Mako made his way outside to complete the first 2 tasks first. He started a light jog toward the forest and a meter suddenly appeared next to the first task.

[Task 1: Run 2000 meters. 0/2000 m]

It didn't make any sense since Mako was already jogging towards the forest when he soon realized his mistake.

"I have to run two entire kilometers..." Mako said lazily when he realized that his daily tasks were not going to be a walk in the park.

***************************

After 20 minutes Mako was back home from his run through the forest. He was currently lying on his kitchen floor gasping for air since Mako was not the athletic type plus he made the mistake of having breakfast before his run as it now took a toll on his body and lungs.

Mako did in fact travel for longer distances at a time on foot; however, those would be done while he was simply walking or slightly jogging. He couldn't maintain his actual sprint for too long and while he was running, he noticed that the system would only count the distance he traveled when he was running at his top speed.

This made him a lot more exhausted as he did a loop in the forest, stopping a couple of times to catch his breath.

It took some time for Mako to get on his feet again, and he went to his living room as there was enough room in there to do all the exercises that the system had told him to do.

The exercises were not that hard, compared to the run as Mako still occasionally did them during P.E. sessions but never in this quantity so it was still difficult.

[2:30 PM]

Mako drank an entire liter of water in one go, as he was exhausted from all the exercises that the system made him do, but he was finally finished.

The last quest was also pretty simple once Mako got over the minor heart attack of thinking he had to lift 150 kilograms at once. The coffee table in Mako's living room was nice and light and was around 5.5 kg kilograms, so Mako only had to lift the table a total of 28 times.

After finishing his bottle of water, Mako wiped the excess water around his lips with the palm of his hands and proceeded to open the system interface, as expected; There was a notification alert, and after opening it Mako received the rewards for completing his daily tasks.

[Task 1: Run 2000 meters. 2000/2000 m]

[Task 2: Do 50 Squats, Push-ups, Crunches, Lunges, and Jumping jacks each. 50/50]

[Task 3: Lift a total of 150 Kg. 150/150 kg]

[Tasks Completed]

[Rewards: +50 EXP, (2) Attributes Points]

'I wonder what attribute points are for?' Mako thought.

[Attribute Points can be used by the user to upgrade the value for any one of his attributes by one]

The system satisfied his curiosity immediately with its reply. After Mako learned what they were for, a grin appeared on the front of his face as he spoke.

"Oh, this is going to be so gooood."
