KINETIC

- Long term quest updated

'Hm? What's this?' Leo asked

'You've somehow triggered a new quest to be issued. I think it's because of you declaring to use your power to help people.' Dreifus said.

Leo went back into the previous section and opened up the long term quests menu.

Long term quest:

- Defeat Onyx

'Onyx? What's that? Some kind of monster?' Leo asked.

'Maybe... The name sounds familiar but I can't...remember...' Dreifus replied. He sounded strained, like he was trying hard to remember something.

'Well, it says long term, right? So I don't think it's something I need to worry about right now. I'll just have to look into it later.' Leo said

'Hmm, that's true. Well, you should probably continue to check out the rest of the system.' Dreifus said with a hint of excitement in his 'voice' .

Leo checked the short term and sudden quest sections, but they were both empty.

- Quests

- Skills

- Transformation

'I'll go down the list in order, so skills is next.' Leo thought. He proceeded to open the skills tab.

Skills

- Aura (level 2)

- Energy Control (Level 2)

- Pulse (Level 1)

- Dash (Level 1)

- Locked

- Locked

All the skills after that point just said 'locked'.

'There are easily another 20 skills in here, can I really do that much with my ability?' Leo asked.

'Of course. I told you didn't I? This is the strongest ability there is. Although some of those skills are from the system and have nothing to do with your ability.' Dreifus admitted.

'Dash... That's what you're referring to, a system skill. What does it do?' Leo asked.

'Open it. The system will explain its use.' Dreifus replied.

Leo focused on the dash skill and another tab opened.

- Increase speed by 5% for 30 seconds

'This system is a blessing. If every skill is as useful as this one then ill be able to gain more power than anyone could imagine.' A smile appeared on Leo's face.

'Yeah, well don't let it get to your head.' Dreifus said with a condescending tone.

'Hey, I'll never take my power for granted.' Leo replied. 'Let's look at the other skills, although I already know what they do, i would like to see if the system is accurate.'

Leo opened the Aura skill next.

- Spreads the users power over a 100 meter area, allowing for all movement to be sensed within.

Next was Energy Control.

- The proficiency at which the user can control their energy. Allows for the energy to be compressed or expanded.

'I thought that increasing my physical attributes would fall under energy control, but it seems it doesn't qualify as a skill.' Leo thought.

Leo opened the Pulse skill next.

- A burst of Aura sent across the ground that can sense movement within large areas. The distance reached depends on the energy used.

'Everything seems to be correct. Though not everything is displayed, such as the specifics. For example, I know the distances that different energy amounts achieve when I use Pulse, but the system didn't specify the distances. That means that when I unlock new skills in the future, I'll still need to experiment to find out their full extent.' Leo thought with a contemplative look on his face.

' Why are Aura and Pulse already Level 2?' Leo questioned.

' Did you do something to improve them?' Dreifus answered with another question.

' Well, Aura started off only being able to cover about 20 meters, but I managed to improve it up to around 100 meters. There was an improvement in distance for pulse as well.' Leo explained.

' Well there you go, you already upgraded them both to their second level, nicely done.' Dreifus praised Leo's efforts with a proud tone.

' Yeah... Thanks. '

Leo suddenly realized something. 'Hey, Dreifus. How do I unlock new skills?' Leo asked.

'I uh... Well you probably... I have no idea...' Dreifus admitted.

'You don't know...? Thanks for nothing I guess' Leo scoffed.

Leo tried to open a locked skill.

- The skill is locked. Spend 1 Skill Point to unlock.

- Level requirement : None

'1 Skill Point...How do I get skill points?' Leo asked.

'...'

With no reply from Dreifus, Leo decided to check out the next section.

Transformation

- No information can be found.

'What's this? Why is there nothing here?' Leo asked.

'Maybe there is a hidden requirement you must meet before this becomes available?' Leo could almost feel Dreifus shrugging his shoulders as he said this.

Leo returned back to the stats page and looked over it one more time, that's when he noticed something at the top.

- Level : 1 (0/150 XP)

'The reward for the daily quest was 100 XP, if I aquire this amount, does that mean I will go to the next level?' Leo asked.

'Yes, if you get 150 XP then you will level up. Each time you level up you will recieve bonus stats, but the amount needed to level up again will increase.

'I see, it would be too easy if the requirements never changed.'

'Exactly.' Dreifus replied.

'I should complete the daily tasks and see how everything works, I should be able to, 'level up' as you say, by tomorrow.'

Leo sat cross legged on his bed and began to do core strengthening. He circulated his energy around his body and spun the metal balls around in his hand while absorbing the energy from it.

It was a strenuous task and Leo felt like his stamina was disappearing by the second. Sweat began forming on Leo's face almost immediately.

Leo barely managed to do it, but through sheer focus, he pushed on. Every few minutes he had to take a break since he felt like he was going to pass out from exhaustion. After around an hour had passed Leo heard a noise in his head.

*Ding

- Perform Core Strengthening for 20 minutes (Completed)

Leo smiled when he saw the notification appear. He stopped his core strengthening and stood up from his bed and walked over to the door. 'Damn, I spent more time resting than actually doing core strengthening, it's really tiring.

"I'll be back in a few minutes." Leo said to the others before leaving the room. He then walked until he found a quiet spot, which happened to be at the courtyard. By this point Leo had recovered a decent amount of his stamina.

Leo first started doing the push-ups, they weren't difficult to do and after he reached the amount necessary, a notification appeared.

- Do 100 push-ups (Completed)

Leo got up from the ground and started running in circles around the courtyard.

The courtyard wasn't small by any means and Leo only needed to run around the courtyard twice before the notification appeared.

- Run 1 Kilometer (Completed)

​ - Daily quest has been completed

- 1 Stat point has been awarded

- 100 XP has been awarded

Leo went back to the Stat page and could see the updates.

- Level : 1 (100/150 XP)

- Unallocated stat points : 1

Leo could also see that a + sign had appeared next to all of his stats except the energy stat. 'So this is how it works.' Leo pressed the + next to strength and the number increased from 6 to 7.

A new button appeared at the bottom of the screen.

(Confirm changes?) (Yes/No)

Leo selected yes and could feel the growth in his strength instantly. "I don't know how the system is able to do such a thing, but I plan on taking full advantage of it." Leo said with a tone of excitement.
