Protagonist?Antagonist? I Reject Both

Chapter 6: 6:Gaining A Title

"So my name is also the same here."

Leon sucked in cold air going over the system panel and reading through system comments.

"Now what kind of trashy body is this? Even a random kid must have a better body. Having such a weak stat, especially stamina, no wonder girls don't give a shit. I don't think a newly advanced Tier 2 guy of this realm has such a low stat."

"This guy had wasted time cultivating so many useless literary skills instead of focusing on Martial Arts. As expected from a certified skirt chaser."

"And still a virgin unless he lost it to life fucking him till he ended here."

"Thank god, I have advanced programming though I don't know if it's because I was a good hacker in my world."

Leon's lips twitched seeing the condition of the room.

This guy after getting kicked out had been cooped up in his room and had been drinking nonstop for the past five days as if it was his life motto.

Piss, Shit, and Drink.

These were the only things he did in these five days until he died.

"Wait, a minute. Where did he get the money for drinking with all his accounts frozen."Leon tried to remember but the memories of the past five days were blurred.

Leon shifted his focus toward the special abilities.

"Hey, system, can you talk? What kind of new trick is this? Why is it shown in question marks?"

[I can talk to the host and as per your question, the special abilities are already unlocked and are functioning. But you will remember them only if you encounter a situation where the abilities activate on their own or you guessed the ability on your own.]

"Is this another trick of Vesturon? Why is he making things hard for me?"

"And what is this Kill point and counterattack?"

[Host, the kill and counter-attack is a restriction based on one of your special abilities. I can't say more but these are the criteria that came with those abilities. Every time the host kills he gains 10% of the other person's life essence similar to exp and counter-attack points is when you as a side character attack a protagonist or an antagonist.]

"Haaa... I guess, I will find it the hard way."

"If I managed to stay alive though."

Leon muttered massaging his forehead.

"Okay and what about that metal rod."

[It's in your sea of consciousness. You can pull it out with a thought.]

"Ohh!" Leon summoned the metal rod with a thought and started imagining various weapons.

The metal rod enlarged and became a sword, then it became a spear, then a halberd, and moulded other various types as per his will.

"Hmm! So, I can change it with a single thought. This is some good shit."Leon muttered, tapping the rod on his forehead.

Thinking about his predecessor's situation he can't help but think of a conspiracy.

"I don't think the reason for chasing step-sister is enough for this boy's father to discard him like this. So, for now, I assume that either he doesn't know about this or..."

"Maybe this guy is not his son. I might be overthinking but let's just assume the worst case. Secondly, he had two older sisters but this guy's Mom took them in custody and threw him out."

"I don't understand this, aren't males prioritized over females in a world like this so why is he treated poorly? Is it because of his trash body with nothing special?"

It was then Leon suddenly realized something. Maybe his body was like this because he exchanged them for special powers.

"Am I correct?"

[You are the right host. As per the specific information, work hard or try to guess your power and unseal your memory.]

Leon cursed Vesturon and then shaking his head, attempted to look at the world's history.

This planet was similar to the Earth and followed the same trajectory and history as that of Earth but a thousand years ago, space around the planet cracked. From cracked space, turbulent energy leaked that enveloped the whole earth. The humans lost their lives as the energy entered their bodies.

Despite the large number of deaths, people who had robust bodies and practiced martial arts of various forms miraculously not only managed to survive but also got stronger. With the sudden discovery, a new hope lit humanity, and they started researching the ancient arts of the medieval era like Qi, Qiong, Mana, Baraka, Ruach, Aether, Ki, etc as depicted by religion and early human civilization.

Deriving enlightenment from them and researching with science, all of them concluded that one needs to have a strong body to survive in that era, and thus the race to harness the power more potently began. With years of research, humans not only managed to harness the power but also surpass the shackles and limits of mortals.

However, few who were way ahead and reached the peak were unable to advance further, and after a compressive study and research, they concluded that the amount of energy coming from cracks in the void wasn't sufficient for them to advance so they decided to enlarge the cracks. Finally, they were successful in doing so but this led to an alien world that had a drastic effect on the world.

This knowledge came from the previous guy but how much of this knowledge is true, only god knows.

"I think, I can make a guess."Leon stopped for a moment.

"If my guess is correct, this might be the lower realm or discarded plane whose passage had been sealed. But due to war, a crack appeared, and when humans went through the crack, they encountered a new world with all types of beings and were now at war with a certain race."

Leon derived this conclusion from comprehensive knowledge of the novels.

The humans had their power system as follows...

Body Enhancement which is divided into four Tier.

Martial Disciple

Martial Master

Martial Grandmaster

Martial Lord

Martial King

Martial Emperor.

Martial Saint.

Knowing the cliche, Leon was sure there were many more above this.

And though it excited him a bit, his dampened mood made him feel exhausted.

"When I decided to accept the offer. The main thing I hoped for was a family. And I am not only talking about women or girlfriends but someone with a happy childhood and loveable parents but instead of that you gave me this shit."

From the moment he was summoned, Leon was sure that he couldn't trust this God and everything he said might be false and he had his agenda behind this.

That's why Leon kept on blabbering like an idiot so that this thought wouldn't come into his mind as Vesturon was reading his thoughts.

"I had just one wish that was to give me a good loving family but you didn't..."

He, who had transverse through the lonely night knew how haunting loneliness is. Seeing others laughing happily with their parents and spending holidays, Leon always felt an arrow struck inside his chest.

"I act like a psychopath and laugh like a maniac to hide my pain but acting for a long time becomes your habit and that habit becomes an aspect of your behavior."

"And if given a choice, no one should feel pain and grievance that he needed to hide behind his maniacal smi..."

A resonating loud bang woke Leon from his thoughts and he turned around to see the spy butler entering haughtily like a raging bull and screaming loudly.

"What the hell are you? Are you de...."

Before the butler could finish his sentence, an empty bottle with the speed of lightning rustling through the air, crashed onto the butler's head making him scream.

"Damn! I shouldn't have done that."

"It's difficult to control your habit. I have to do something about my anger..."

A notification echoed in Leon's ears, startling him.

[You have acquired the Title Mad Lad.]

[Madlad:Increase your stat strength, agility, and stamina by 10% when you are in an angered state or especially when your health is below 20%.]

'Holyshit, that guy managed to copy the whole game system.'

'Then there is no need to hold back.'

Screaming inside his mind, Leon picked up another empty bottle and walked forward with a greedy smile.

'Fuck compassion. I should blast another one to celebrate this event.'

........

Note:Though the year is 3179, the world isn't a modern sci-fi. Just think of this as similar to the apocalypse which caused great damage to society that took years to recover.
