THE SYSTEM-2

Leon was so relieved that he hadn't chosen the first option. After seeing the graphs he knew that he would have an uneven growth with the first choice.

"The user has chosen wisely during the selection round. I expected the intelligence to differentiate good from bad, and you succeeded." AIGIS spoke.

"May I know what the advance attributes for the first two jobs were?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Now that you have chosen the overall growth choice, you will stumble upon all of the attributes, or at least most of them during your growth process. You will get your hands on the advanced attributes with time." AIGIS assured Leon.

Leon wanted to rejoice that his choice was perfect.

"You need to train and complete the mission for two things. The first perspective is the level that is mentioned near your projection. It signifies where you stand. The more you level up, the more powerful you'll become with additional benefits with each level up."

"The other aspect is gaining more attribute points. These attribute points will come in two ways. One is a direct increment of the attribute due to particular training, and the second one is independent points which can be assigned to various attributes."

"The plus sign is the way to add those points.." Leon managed to catch up.

"Yes. It is a way to assign your points." AIGIS confirmed Leon's guess." These attributes will signify your strength, and you will understand just how difficult it is to gain the attribute points. I hope you will choose them very wisely."

"Do you understand the value of attributes now?" AIGIS asked.

"I do," Leon replied.

"Then we can proceed to understand how valuable the pie chart is now. It signifies the best explanation for your domain as a hunter. The chart is pentagonal in shape for a reason. It marks five prospects: Strength, speed, vitality, mana, and intelligence."

"The line drawn on it to the center signifies the graph. If your graph is concentric to the pentagon it means that you are growing your abilities equivalently. If there are any deformities, your attributes are not all balanced."

"How will that help me?" Leon was confused. Didn't he already have the stats tab to inform him of his current points?"

"It is the best representation for understanding the tilt of your domain power. These deformities will help us understand that you are moving towards one domain over the other. Hence they help us plan the training in a better way."

"Now, I will once again lay out a choice for you. How do you want to practice? Which domain do you want to concentrate on?" AIGIS asked

"Since I chose the second path, I want to become proficient in them all." Hearing Leon's answer the face once again appeared on the tab but remained silent as if it was trying to examine Leon's face. Then it is once again transformed into the previous menu tab.

"Moving on, you'll see a blank space below the stats tab. It is saved for the skills you will acquire. What re skills, will be discussed once you earn one of them."

"The other features, though open to you, are not usable for now since you haven't collected any hunting points. Should we begin with your first task?"

"I want to return home?" Leon stated.

"You are now my master which makes you the master of the dungeon. Hence you will be able to return anytime you want. But before that, I would like you to improve your strength. When I asked you if you wanted to get stronger, you chose the difficult path. There is no turning back."

"I know." Leon was still hesitant and sad about the events. The memories of his shamed awakening came back to him. How he had failed in the exam, how people laughed at him, the mountain, Liam's kind words, the orc appearing, and those hunters in the shadows not protecting him.

"I got killed because I was weak," Leon said to himself.

"Yes. Only by becoming stronger could you change your fate. Are you prepared for your first task and to begin the training?" AIGIS asked once again. This time Leon's eyes were filled with determination.

"Bring it on."

"Good. Kindly take a look at all your stats." Leon saw that all his stats were marked at 5." You should have begun from 1, but your sacrifice has granted you a gift of 5 points for each stat. Now, we will begin with basic training."

A message window popped out of thin air. " Daily Mission 1" Leon raised his hand by clicking on the email icon.

'Basic Training Mission 1. Time limit - 10 hrs. Push-ups- 1000, sit-ups 1000. crunches-1000, jumping jacks 200. Skips-1000. Running - 10 KM."

"Completion reward- level up-1, basic training package, all stats recovery."

"Penalties - Breaking bones till the user loses consciousness."

"Is this some kind of joke? Even at my top, I couldn't do a fifth of this training during the whole day. You just gave me 10 hours to complete it. How would I possibly complete this?"

"All your stats have been raised by 5 points. Your strength is not the same. Complete it, or you will face the penalty."

Leon immediately got down to start his pushups. To his surprise, he was able to do them with ease. He had gotten stronger, just like the system said. Even then he felt fatigued after he continuously did fifty. Although there was a change, it wasn't by much. THis mission was difficult."

He then remembered a scarred face from the past and immediately focused on completing the mission. he had to get stronger. He wanted to be so strong that the world couldn't control him anymore.

District A, within the courageous dragon base-

A man was lying on the bed of one of the massive apartments here. Two figures lay beside him in wait for his wake. There was also another figure waiting for him in the shadows. The man's eyelids began to twitch, and he slowly opened them.

The two figures jumped at him. They gave a hug to their brother who was returned back in an unconscious state to them. They were worried.

"I am alright with you two. Liam said in a consoling voice while wiping the tears off their face. His own eyes were filled with tears as he remembered Leon's death. he didn't want these two guys to know about Leon as they would be traumatized by the incident.

The family moment went on for some time before it was disrupted by a voice.

'I see that you have regained consciousness." A man walked into the room. " How are you feeling?"

"Who are you?" Liam was alerted. He couldn't even remember where he was.

"I am the person who saved you. I am also the one who thinks you me some answers" The man said
