The Invincible Full-Moon System

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HALF-BLOOD!", Rex screamed in frustration.

Although Half-blood is still vague, Rex knows that Half-blood definitely means that his race is a mix of something, not pure human.

For what the Supernatural did to Humanity and his parents, Rex hates them very much.

So naturally, he doesn't like one bit of the race section.

Rex tried thinking of changing his race but failed miserably, the Race section didn't even budge on the contrary it even glistens with a silver hue as if it's mocking Rex.

It makes his blood boil feeling this game mocked him,

But his anger was forced down as he needs to calm himself down when he heard a knock on the door,  a middle-aged woman enters the room after knocking.

The middle-aged woman has long brown hair,

Just looking at the black outline glasses that she wears, and the stern and strict expression that gives off a vibe of a scholar makes Rex instantly recognize this woman.

She is Rex's guardian, Mrs. Greene.

Rex looks at Mrs. Greene with a sense of relief, 'I thought I will not see mom again, but who would've thought that I survive that incident', he thought.

Upon looking at Rex already woke up, Mrs. Greene was stunned at her place.

After realizing truly that Rex has already woken up from his comatose, Mrs. Greene can't help herself but immediately run toward Rex and hugs him.

"My sweet boy, I thought I will lose you", she wept in tears.

The tears flowing down her cheeks are like a pure waterfall as she hugs Rex tightly, "I can't sleep for weeks knowing that you're on your first mission, but when I heard the news about you..."

"You're already in the hospital hanging onto your life!"

Mrs. Greene kept crying as the sadness can be felt directly just by looking at her teary eyes, it creates pain in Rex's heart seeing Mrs. Greene like this.

Rex hugs her back tightly,

The warmth Mrs. Greene brings is incomparable to anything in the world for Rex, she's the sole thing that brings light into the darkness of his world after his real parents get killed.

After hugging Rex and pouring her emotions out,

Mrs. Greene started touching Rex everywhere checking if he was hurt, but thankfully she found none as all of his wounds are healed miraculously making her sigh in relief.

"I'm back mom,", Rex said trying to hold onto his own tears.

Hearing this, Mrs. Greene smiles brightly seeing the same smile on Rex's face as they both engage in a motherly-son conversation.

It's been years since the last time they met,

Rex only occasionally sent her a letter since the military is very strict, the last time he sent Mrs. Greene a letter was when he finally got his first mission.

In the midst of the conversation,

The realization started to dawn on him as he can't believe he survived, Rex zoned out of the conversation, 'Who is the one who saved me? Is it the God? or the Devil?'

Back at the Ghouls' Den during his dying state,

Rex remembered that he begs God and Devil at the same time, but he doesn't know which one saved him so he decided that he will ask this game that he got about it.

After talking for a while, Mrs.Greene said, "Did you know that you're famous now?"

"When I'm at the ceremony, they gave me two medals in your name and also a huge amount of money. They told me that it's gratitude for your bravery from the Uniter World Organizations for risking your life for the sake of the operation"

"How could they! Hmph!"

Although Mrs. Greene is complaining about the Heroes of Dwight City ceremony, her smile cannot hide the happiness she felt attending the ceremony.

It's always been like this, Mrs. Greene is from a lower-class family.

Mrs. Greene's bloodline doesn't have an Awakened so naturally, they lack money and fame so attending such a huge event as the Heroes of Dwight City ceremony is a big thing for her.

Even when Rex got money from the military,

She always asks how much they pay and remember the exact date of when Rex got paid, she even left her late husband for another guy who has more money.

Her current husband is from the middle class, but her background is still that of a lower class.

Rex nevertheless still loves her and doesn't mind this side of her, he loves her with all his heart as she's the most important still living person in his life.

After having a long chat, Mrs.Greene decided to leave because of some matters to attend to.

But before she closes the door, she pops her head back in, "Oh yeah, You will attend university after your discharge from the hospital. There is a new university made by the government for Awakened and Military units, you will attend that university", she said while scrolling on her phone, probably reading an email from the government.

Then, she continues, "They said to relax in the university as they will help to nurture you, it's a reward for your deeds in the military. Oh, I almost forgot I brought your phone with me"

Mrs. Greene gave Rex his phone before she waves her hand, "I'm going now, bye! I'll come back tonight",she said before leaving the room.

But Rex was stunned upon hearing what Mrs. Greene said,

'Me? Go to a university? I don't know why but I'm looking forward to it, he thought with a smile.

Rex then checks his phone just like the usual kids who can't get far from their phones, even in the military he still sneakily plays with his phone after training.

He checks his messages only to find three notifications there,

One of them is from his childhood friend Laura Frostbrand, another was from his military platoon leader, and the last one is from Edward.

First, he opens the messages from Laura.

The content of the messages is short and clear, she said, "I heard you survived, that's good"

Seeing the short and cold message from Laura makes Rex feel disappointed, truthfully he has already liked Laura since he was little.

When his parents died, Laura is always there for him to cheer him up.

But all of that changed when Laura started to grow up, she started to distance herself from Rex, and even until now he never knew what the reason was.

After a long time, their relationship was distanced like this.

Rex thought that Laura will at least visit him but reality prove him wrong, a simple message i all he get after going through the veil of life and death.

With a sigh, Rex opened his platoon leader's message.

Just like what he remembered his personality was, the platoon leader told him how proud he was for completing his very hard first mission successfully.

'He's one of the kinder ones, unlike the others', Rex thought with a smile.

The last message comes from Edward that told Rex that he will visit but it is from five days ago, so Edward must have already visited him a couple of days ago.

After reading his messages,

Rex then calls out the game by thinking 'Notification', in an instant the same hologram appears.

He tries to find a help button in the hologram screen but there is nothing else except for, <Notifcation>, <Stat>, <Skill>, <Inventory>, and <Shop>.

Getting frustrated, Rex wanted to close the screen when suddenly a notification appears.

<Welcome Host, you have gained the Invincible Full-Moon System>

Rex is more sure that this is just a new generation of games that are made, but just to make sure he asks all the questions he has in mind.

'So, are you the one who saved me?', he asks curiously.

<Yes>

Reading this, Rex then asks again, 'If that is so, are you the God? or the Devil?'

<I'm not the God or the Devil>

Rex thinks with a doubtful expression, the game's answer is as expected, 'Hmm...that's what a God or Devil will say. So then, what is your purpose?'

<My purpose is to make you stronger, you will become invincible under the full-moon>

'I think that is pretty much what a Devil would say', Rex thought.

Just as a joke, Rex then asks to see if it's really the Devil that is talking to him, 'In that case, what do I have to pay for being invincible under the full moon?'

<Your humanity, your loved ones, and everything you have>

'That's a Devil for you', Rex thought chuckling a bit.

Just when Rex was about to ask another question a notification appear in front of him, but this time it was not the usual default like when he summon the game.

<Daily Quest>

During the nighttime, bathe under the Lunar's blessing for three hours.

0/180 minutes

Quest Reward: 50 Exp, A good night's sleep

Quest Failure: Decrease Sanity by 20%

Rex read the daily quest and felt that it was a joke, 'The Lunar's blessing? Do you mean I have to sit under the moon for three hours? That's not happening', he thought.

After reading the ridiculous daily quest, Rex decided to ignore it.

'What the heck? This game is dumb, what kind of game tells the player to sit under the moon? and also this hospital doesn't even have a rooftop, the best thing I can do is probably stick my head out of the window but that's just stupid if I have to stay in that position for hours'

The more Rex thinks about it, the angrier he got toward the game.

But still, he's curious since it appears just after the Ghoul's Den incident, so he finally closes the Stat tab and opens the Skill tab,

<Skills>

<Night Sight (Passive - Low)>

<Creature of the Night (Passive - Mid)>

Rex reaches out his hand and taps on the Night Sight skill, his finger went through the hologram again,  'How dumb, I forgot that it's not a touch screen', he curses to himself for forgetting.

He then taps the Night Sight skill, but this time he's using his mind.

<Night Sight>

A low-level skill that allows the host to see better at night - Upgradeable

'Pretty self-explanatory', Rex thought before he taps on the Creature of the Night skill, this one Rex has no idea about.

<Creature of the Night>

A middle-level skill that increases the host stats by 50% at night, and 100% during Full-Moon -Upgradable

Upon reading the skill's description,

He then thought, 'This one is more interesting So basically, I'm supposed to be stronger at night? but that's too good to be true', he shakes his head with a crooked smile.

Feeling more doubtful of the game, or this weird system.

Rex decided to just close this system intending to sleep, although he's fully healed from his injuries he still felt the fatigue left over from the operation before.

While closing his eyes, Rex still feels the system is ridicilous.

'As if I will believe all this nonsense, stronger at night? That's some Supernatural power', Rex thought while positioning himself on the bed.

But upon feeling the soft pillows, Rex started rubbing his head on them.

'This bed and pillows are squishy as hell, damn the military for having rough and smelly ones', Rex thought before his eyelids started to get heavy and eventually closes.

Unknown to Rex, the decision to ignore the system will be a decision he will regret.
