KINETIC

Leo opened his eyes, noticing that he was lying on the ground he tried to stand up "I feel like I got hit by mountain... Aarrgfh!" The instant Leo tried to move, he realized just how injured he was.

His head felt like there was someone stomping on it and his chest felt as though a bear was sitting on top of him. Every movement caused pain somewhere on his body.

In the end he decided to just stay where he was until his body had recovered a bit. Luckily, with the Regeneration skill, his healing was much faster than a regular humans.~Sigh~

'I'm gonna have to lie here for a few hours before I'm able to move on my own...' Leo complained.

'It beats dying. I'm sure your friends will come looking for you in a few minutes since they were able to see you fall off the roof.' Dreifus replied.

'Yeah... But this pain makes me think death might have been a better option.' leo said with an obvious tone of sarcasm.

'At least you got some new skills, as well as whatever reward you were given from the sudden quest you received.' Dreifus said, trying to look on the bright side. 'That's true. Let's see what I got.' Leo opened the system and decided to check the quest rewards first.

[Sudden Quest - Survive] (Complete)

[Rewards]

- Level up ×2

- Defence Stat Generated

- +20 Maximum Energy

'Defence stat, did the system understand my intent when I added points to strength to improve my defence. Having a seperate stat for it will be more efficient since increasing strength only slightly improves my defence.' Leo thought as he checked his stats .

Name: Leofalor

- Level: 12 (85 000 /200 000)

- Race : Human

- Evolution available

STATS

- Strength - 16

- Speed - 15

- Stamina - 13

- Agility - 13

- Intelligence - 13

- Perception - 13

- Mental Fortitude - 13

- Defense - 10

- Energy - 0/60

- Unassigned points - 2

'I'm glad Defence didn't start at a lower number, I'll almost be able to match my other stats after using the left over points.' Leo wasted no time putting the 2 Unassigned points gained from level ups into defence.

'The XP required to level up hasn't gone up by much... Usually it doubles with each level but this time it only went up to 200 000, and that's after two level ups. That will make it a bit easier to level up in the future compared to my expectations.' Leo felt relieved knowing this.

Initially when leveling up the XP requirement would double. Leo was prepared to fight and do quests to gain the XP required, but he knew it would take enormous amounts of time once the XP got high enough. With this change he thought it should be more reasonable.

'It seems your XP from the previous level carried over as well. It seems that when you get an instant level up from a quest, you aren't given the remaining XP needed for that level up. Instead you're given all the XP that level required, allowing you to keep what you previously had.' Dreifus added the cherry on top of Leo's good news.

So far everything had been great regarding the rewards for the quest, the only thing left to check are the new skills he acquired. 'Alright let's take a lo... '

"Leo!" A voice from somewhere behind Leo called out to him, disrupting his thought. Running up and dropping to her knees beside him was Rene.

"Oh my Gods, Leo, are you okay?!" She shouted in panic. Leo looked up at her face "Uh...not really. To be completely honest, I can't really move." Leo answered with a playful yet pain filled voice.

Rene placed her hands on Leo's body and began healing him as best she could. It was clear that she was worn out just by looking at how much effort she needed to put in when using her ability.

After a few minutes pass the low golden light generated by Renes healing faded. "That's as much as I can do right now... I'm sorry I can't heal you more." Rene had a dejected look on her face.

Leo sat up slowly, trying to feel how much pain his body was in compared to before. Everything still hurt quite a bit, but it was far more bearable. "You did more than enough. Thanks to your healing I'll be able to walk sooner than I thought." Leo smiled at Rene, trying to give her some peace of mind.

That's when he noticed something "Rene... Why are you out here by yourself? We were just attacked, it's not safe for you to be out here alone!" Leo had a very concerned look on his face.

"There was no other choice. The others can't walk right now because of their injuries. It took everything they had to help you earlier. After they got that woman to run away, all of them collapsed from their wounds and exhaustion." Rene explained.

"Then you shouldn't have come out looking for me, you could have been attacked by someone while..."

"No! I can't just sit back and do nothing. Healing is the only thing I can contribute to this group, so I'll do everything in my power to be there when you need me!" Rene interrupted Leo, having seemingly known what he would say.

"Rene... I...." Leo wasn't sure what to say but the look of determination in her sad and hurt eyes made Leo understand that he didn't need to be concerned. "Thank you."

Rene smiled softly and stood up, offering her hand to Leo. He held her hand as she pulled him to his feet, the pain shooting throughout his body as he moved. Upon standing up Leo realized how weak he actually felt right now.

His legs felt extremely powerless, causing him to stumble and begin falling. Before he could, Rene grabbed him by the arm and pulled him towards her, placing Leo's arm around her shoulder and giving him support.

"Thanks." Leo said. Rene looked straight ahead before saying "Come on, let's get you to a bed. Once you've all recovered we can talk about what's happened."
