Following The System
Chapter 2: Following the system
"So only the 'Mortal Stage' needs to break into 5 steps and the rest is only 3. But the biggest problem is I'm like a turtle that's left upside by the children."

[System will now remove the poison on the player body, to reconstruct the body parts, will open all meridians and acupoints for better energy distribution.]
"Poison? what do you mean? ah! Ah! AH!"... The pain is so unbearable, the pain he felt earlier is more than ten times the pain he feels all over right now. The process still keeps ongoing while he was already passed out by so much pain.
When he woke up its around 3 am, the first thing he saw is the notification of the system, [Process Complete] he stares of both hands, his body felt light "Wow! My body now is in normal size! But what is this? slime? Yuck! the smell is so..."
He quickly stood up and went to the river again then scrubs his body, "Wow, my body feels the water is too cold along with the cold wind but why I'm not shivering?" He was amazed by sudden change on his body, now even the cold can't bother him.
{Beep}
[Frost Dragon effect cold resistance]
A small screen suddenly appears in front of him. "This must be one of the abilities of Frost dragon, I can feel cold but it can't affect me." He moves back to the tree area and the system pops up again.
{Beep}
[Quest Update, create your mark on the tree]
"Create my mark on the tree? what for? this damn system is weird." Just for the sake of points, he created his mark on the biggest tree, which is a star sign.
{Beep}
[Quest completed! You will be rewarded 50 Quest Points, 200 XP, low tier sword and manuals]
"Huh? why I did not level up?" He was so curious so he checks his stats.

"What! I'm already at 'Fighter Stage'? it jumps so high." A mixed with excitement and confusion is what he feels right now, from the very start he was called useless fatso. Useless as a warrior, useless as a member of Snowblaze Clan, but not anymore he does have now the power to withstand them. He began scrolling down the description of all the free manuals he got.
'Right way of opening meridians', and 'Manslaughter Sword Move' The sword move has two techniques:
'Aegis Attack' will defend the enemy sword attack then a moment opponents sword bounced or parried by you that was the time you will take your strike, just like the speed of a cat's paw when fighting a snake.
And if you can't parry the attack you can consume opponents' energy and once it's enough you can create a powerful sphere the will stagger your enemy then a quick strike.
'Phantom Slash' creates an illusion that you vanished in front of the enemy but the real thing is it is due to your speed.
'Cooking Master and Food Connoisseur', You will be a master of cooking and able to tell the taste and flaws of the chief.
'Apothecary' Player will able to construct a pill that has 100% effectiveness without impurities. The name of the manual is 'Golden Essence'.
Ben was stunned by reading the description of every manual, he was scrolling all page while his mouth was wide opened. "This is too awesome!" he said then began imagining his self as being the most powerful in this world, while his face reaction was like crazy laughing out of nowhere.
The sky eye was tired by giving light in the darkness of night, now it opens its another eye to give a brighter light to everyone in this world. In the unknown forest, there is a Young man which about 13 years old practicing sword techniques nonstop.
Windows appear on young man's sight, [Proficiency 100%] After he saw this he smiles and stops his practice. "Haha! time to put this into action"
That young man was Ben, he tried to go deeper inside the unknown forest, after minutes of strolling he heard voices, he quickly dashes towards the voice.
"Samson! Quickly run! You are a prince, you need to live, don't worry about me! I'm just a street child who doesn't have a family! Please take care of May." A brave young man around 10 years old facing a Lone Wolf, he seems to sacrifice himself for his friend.
"No! I won't leave you! Peter, we were brothers! Prince is only a title, I don't have the right to have that title if I sacrifice my friends just to save me. Besides, it's my fault if I didn't force you to come here we won't be having this trouble" A young man named Samson put down the unconscious young girl pick up his sword and stand right next to a Peter.
When the Lone Wolf leaps towards the two whose eyes are closed and awaiting their deaths, Ben leaps and defends the attack then kills the wolf.
{Beep}
[Quest Completed, you will be rewarded with 50 Quest Points and 500 XP, plus 500XP for killing the Lone Wolf ] A voice of the lady rang into his mind to notify him. Even if the system did not generate a quest to help these kids, he will still save them.
The two opened their eyes and checked their body there is no damage and they were still alive. The two hug each other because of joy then recall the girl named May and run into her. That was the only time they noticed the hero in front of them.
["Ah! thank you, for saving us"] Peter and Samson said these words.
{Beep}
[Quest Update, Teach this trio to be a warrior]
("What! why? do I look like a teacher? I'm only 13 years old!") Complain by Ben to the system, out of nowhere the system wanted him to become a teacher. He takes a deep sigh and talks to the two.
"Ahem! don't mention it looks like our meeting today is already been written in the stars. I can to you all to become strong and teach how to be a good fighter, would you want me to you accept?"
He was saying these words standing straight with his hands at the back he copied this posture from the light novel, this is how should the noble teacher to position himself.
The two were amazed by his elegant posture and nodded themselves, "Ah! I forgot I already have a teacher!" Samson was panicking when he said that words. Since Samson is a prince he does have a tutor to teach him in the fighting.
"Hmm? well, it doesn't matter if you find that my sword techniques are more scrappy than you what others teach you then you can quit, how was it?"
"Deal!" A quick response from the two.
"But before we start practicing sword moves, let us strengthen your self first. And of course let us know each other, my name is Ben Mighty."
They introduced each other including the girl named May, Samson is the Prince in this Woodland Hills City, May and Peter are streets children. Ben was surprised to know, and later on, he stops thinking about how they know each other.
Ben guessed that since Samson is always escaping from the palace he was probably so lonely and thus he met these two on the street and become friends.
("I should make pills to replenish their energy and strengthen them.") While looking to the tired trio Ben thinks of this. Then he remembers the Store Windows and tries to browse.
("Great! these pills will do even if it is a low-level pill") Ben bought pills with the price of 10 Quest Points per 5 pills, and he bought 'Replenish Pill', 'Strengthening Pill', and 'Healing Pill'.
"I can see that your foundations are great, but the energy can't flow seamlessly because of some of your meridians are clogged and not open. Lucky for you I do have a technique that can open your Meridians."
The three stops their practicing lifting heavy torso of a tree while running.
He called Peter first, "Sit down and take off your clothes I will open some of your meridians and unclogged it."
