Currently, I have 5 stat points to use and I still have Body Improvement Pills, which are kept within the system.

Currently, I don't have inventory within the system, because it will be unlocked when the system levels up, but Body Improvement Pills were kept inside the shop instead.

I clicked [Shop] and took one of the body improvement pills from there and hold it in my hand.

It was a green small ball the size of a marble.

It was quite hard as well, not sure how eating this can be anyway healthy.

Looking at the green ball in my hand for few moments and then after 30 seconds or so I decided to finally try it.

*Gulp*

I put it in my mouth and swallowed it.

At first, nothing happened, but then suddenly refreshing feeling spread to my whole body.

[Body Improvement Pill Consumed!]

[Strength 2 Stat Point Increase!]

[Vitality 2 Stat Point Increase!]

[Agility 2 Stat Point Increase!]

[Stamina 2 Stat Point Increase!]

[HP Increased by 5!]

After seeing system messages, I was shocked!

2 Stat point seems small, but when I have 5 those pills, it is a huge improvement.

And 5 HP increase is whooping 25 after eating all pills!

I brought the rest of the body improvement pills from the system and ate them too.

My body felt instantly stronger and tougher and at this point, I don't think I would lose Lucas today, at least that was my imagination that I wouldn't lose.

But next time, once I will fight against him, I can't catch him off guard like I did today.

So not sure who will win next time we clash.

I quickly put my 5 stat points which I got from my first defeat quest and put all of them to agility

After eating all pills and putting my 5 stat points to agility, my stats looked like this…

It seems my body was healed from consuming those pills and my body isn't even in pain anymore, which might also result in gaining Vitality Stats, healing my body completely, since my HP increased by 10 after getting 10 more stats for Vitality

and what I have noticed is that, if Lucas was ranked with stat points from the system, then his strength stat would probably be at 45, but his agility at 30 or so.

But I am confident that I am better at techniques.

If my technique stats would be at 50.

Lucas would have 30.

…

If Martial Leader would have all stats at 35 to 40, then next rank Martial Captain would have close to 100.

Ranks of Martial Novice-Martial Soldier-Martial Leader are not that different in strength, but then jump from Martial Leader to Martial Captain is a huge distance.

and Martial Captain-Martial Commander-Martial General ranks are also a range of 100-300 if counting in stats, but then jump from Martial General to Martial King is even bigger.

and from Martial King onwards the difference in ranks is huge! It might take some over 10 years to rank up or won't even rank up in their lifetimes.

There are also rankings for Martial Kings, but there are only a little bit over 5000 people registered for rankings!

Currently, this world's population is around 8 billion, but only 5000 of those are Martial Kings.

And there are over about 1200 people in Martial Emperor ranking and around 500 in Martial Monarch.

But…

There are only 10 people in Martial Saint rank!

and there are 5 people in Martial Demi-God rankings and in Martial God rankings only 3 people…

Then finally only one lonely person at Martial Half-Divinity ranking.

His name is Abyss also known as Humanity's Hope.

He is the only one who can fight against beasts stronger than Tyrant Beasts…

But no one really knows yet how strong beasts above Tyrant Beasts are…

and Abyss is getting weaker each passing day…

…

(Somewhere In The World)

''KEEP RUNNING!'' a man in his soldier uniform yelled while running in the forest

About 10 humans with the same uniform were running through the forest with panic and fear on their faces.

*ROAAAAAAAR*

Suddenly a huge roar sounded behind them and a huge shockwave happened after roar.

''That thing is catching up!'' one female said while about to cry

''God damn it! That thing is stronger than Tyrant Beast!'' one of the men said

''We need to tell our superiors this! That thing can even fly! If that thing gets to any of the continents, many will die!''

*CRACK*

But then trees were smashed to the ground and from behind them appeared gorilla with a height of 50m with red eyes and fur which was looked like he had spikes all over his body.

''Oh no…''

''KEEP RUNNING! I WILL TRY TO DISTRACT IT!'' one of the men said

''Captain, b-but you will die!''

''JUST KEEP RUNNING OR WE ALL DIE!''

Captain of the soldiers yelled furiously and turned towards huge gorilla, preparing to face it.

''Captain!'' One of the females yelled with tears

''Lydia let's go! Our captain is Martial Monarch he will survive!'' One of the men roared and dragged the female towards the end of the forest.

Gorilla seeing that one of the insects he thought he could destroy at any moment was trying to escape made him quite annoyed and was about to start chasing them, but until he could do anything he felt heat coming in front of him.

[Flame Pyronical!]

Captain's body turned to flames and even his hair was on fire!

But Captain didn't show any signs of being in pain…

This is an ability you get when you break your limiter which is located in your body…

This is called Limit Break.

To reach the rank of Martial King you need to remove your limiter.

That is the test to reach Martial King.

That is why so many don't reach Martial King.

Because removing the limiter is very difficult…

And after removing Limiter, you can achieve what people call [Power Trait]

[Power Trait] This Is a person's own trait which they get after removing the limiter.

Captain's Trait is called [Flaming Body]

That allows him to turn his body in flames literally.

[Flame Physical!]

The captain roared and rushed towards the huge gorilla and punched him!

The punch hit successfully at the gorilla - The punch made huge flames after hitting the gorilla's huge body.

'D-did it work?' Captain thought anxiously and looked towards gorilla and saw a sight which made him feel despair.

The gorilla was still standing there unharmed while having mocking look on his face.

''Insect…'' Gorilla murmured with creepy voice with a same mocking look on his face.

'It can talk?!?!?!' Captain thought with shock

''Die!'' Gorilla roared and stamped towards Captain to try to stomp him to death like an ant.

Captain looked above him and saw a huge foot crashing down to him and he had only one thought at the moment.

'A-are we really nothing but ants to them?'

It was his last thought before the foot crashed onto him, which made him a bloody mess…

''Ugh… nasty.'' Gorilla thought aloud while trying to wipe the blood out of his foot and also removing some body parts belonging to the captain out of his foot.

After doing that suddenly from Gorilla's back started having huge wings.

After that Gorilla started flying with his huge wings and started chasing after the remaining soldiers and only screams of despair echoed in the forest for the next few hours.

Next Day~

*Ding* *Ding*

I heard a bell ringing which meant another class was over.

I was about to stand up to go to the canteen to get food, suddenly I heard some noise coming from the door.

I looked behind me to see what is the ruckus about.

I saw a tall man with a height of 195cm with huge muscles.

He was Captain Lucas of the Martial Arts Club!

I started wondering why he was here, then he suddenly saw me and his eyes brightened and he started walking towards my desk.

''Hey Ichiro, can we talk?'' He asked me and I looked at him with a surprised face and wondering what he has to say to me

''Umm, alright.''

''Follow me, let's go to the rooftop.'' He told me and I stood up to follow him.

After we left through the door, I heard all kinds of murmurs coming from my classroom about the reasons why Lucas wanted me to follow him, but I ignored all of them.

After few minutes of walking, we finally arrived at the rooftop and Lucas went towards one of the benches.

I followed behind him.

''What's up?'' I asked him after sitting down at the bench.

''Did you know that upcoming tournament for Middle School Division is near'' He asked from me

''I didn't know, but why did you ask me about it?''

''I want you to be part of the team.'' He asked me with a hopeful expression

''M-me? But why?'' I asked him with shock on my face

''I have been participating in that tournament since my junior year and we never went past top 16 and I don't have any hope in this year as well

I am only one man and I don't have any hopes on other students to have any help, but that is until you came.'' He told me while looking at me

''I see…'' I said with a pondering expression

''You are still some distance away from me in terms of strength, but you are currently a second strongest student, I can confirm that.''

''What will be the format for the tournament?'' I asked him because previous Ichiro didn't have any memory of it

''It will be 3v3, the first team who gets 2 wins will be winner, that is why I need you, I don't think any other student will be able to fight any of the top schools.''

''I understand, what about the third member?''

''He is one of the Martial Soldier rankers, but he is still weaker than you and I don't have much hope on his chances

He might be one of the Martial Soldier rankers, but he is a weak one compared to top Martial Soldier rankers.'' He told me after finishing what he had to say and was waiting for my answer

''I understand, I will join the team,'' I told him with an excited expression

''Nice! The tournament will be held in 3 weeks until then try to improve your strength.'' He told me and put his hand towards me for a handshake, which I grabbed and then shook his hand with a firm hold.

How long has it been since I have been this excited for anything…

But now it's sure that I will be fighting one of the best fighters belonging to the Continent of Arya.

After that, I resumed the school day, but I was daydreaming the whole day, which made me receive few angry comments from teachers.

After the school day was over, I didn't go to Martial Club, instead, I went home to think about the training plan for the next 3 weeks…
