Retreat is the best option

[Bonding in session 100/100%]

[Bonding is complete]

[All wounds will now be healed by the system]

[Sleep mode activated]

These were the last messages he saw before falling into a deep slumber as the last message stated.

-------

The next morning was quite a blur. Abel woke up only to find himself in his bedroom. He was shocked to the bone but a after some minutes of intense reasoning, he thought it was just a dream.

That was until the same rectangular screen appeared in his line of sight. He was now lost for words as he stared sheepishly at the screen.

[Sleep mode has been deactivated]

[User is in full swing]

[Welcome user]

"What the hell is this?", he asked as he swung his hands, trying hard to scatter the screen. All his effort were futile and the screen till remained unscathed. He thought of closing his eyes but the same outcome was obtained.

Scratching the back of his head was all that he could to reduce his tension. The screen was something he knew he had not the money to purchase. A digital computer system like that would cause a world war if they knew something like that existed. Seeing one in front of him was just telling him that he had sleepwalked and acquire one. He had useful things to use his money for.

Ba-Dump!

His heart had pounded heavily for some seconds. His body was in a complete shock of what was happening to it. Within these second all the details about what happened the day before was pouring back into his poor brain. He fell on the ground and held his head as it began to throb painfully.

Several moments passed and he was up and rolling. "What was that?", he asked rhetorically as he held his neck. He rubbed his hand against his throat as he realized that he had been stabbed at that area a day before.

"Who was that guy again? What right did he have to try and end my useless life? Although its useless, no on has the right to take it away. That is why I want to get stronger, so that people like that cannot and will not have the right to decide my fate", he said to himself with annoyance written all over his face.

[The system admire the user's attitude]

[Since you want to get stronger the system has agreed to help you]

[User's status:

Name: Abel

Age:15

Race: human

Class: non-evolved

System level: 1

Height: 5.4 inches]

Abel had his mouth wide open after seeing this. The system had every thing about him, all his information including his height and class.

"This! and you are not human but just an intelligence?", he asked with a feeble voice since he was recovering from the shock. Another one was yet to unfold right in front of his eyes.

The holographical body of Abel stood closer to the aligned characters on the the screen. It had only boxer shorts on at the moment.

Abel wanted to kick who ever made this teaser in the nuts but he knew it wasn't possible at all.

-------

[System upgrades have been installed into the system.]

[System has been successfully integrated into the user's body.]

[Full Recovery skill has been granted to user.]

[System interface has been full update, yell out to see it]

[Daily quests has been unlocked]

The messages were flooding his line of sight. It was amazing how with all this going on his room wasn't affected in the slightest. Abel thought of what the messages had spoken of.

"Open system interface!", he yelled as the system had suggested. He just wanted to see how advanced the system was.

[System interface ]

[User Status][Skills][Magicka][shop][Quests][Inventory]

The system interface contained several tabs.

Both the shop and the inventory tab had greyed out. The Magicka tab had also greyed out. Abel tried selecting the shop tab but a system message popped up.

[Tab has been locked, reach a higher level in order to unlock]

He had finally gotten the answer he had longed for. It was sad to realise that the magicka tab also had the same effect on it.

Next up was the skill tab since he had already seen his stats. It was a bit heartbreaking since the only skill available was the "Full Recovery skill".

[Skills]

[>> Full Recovery (Lv.1) <<]

Staring at the skill in contempt, Abel wanted to clap the hell out of the system when a new message appeared.

[Full Recovery is a regeneration skill. Increases the natural healing speed of the user's body by 10 times]

"Open quest and spare me this crap", he commanded.

[The tab will be opened but if you think your skills are crap then you are crap]

[Quest]

[◇Daily

◇Side

◇Main]

"Daily quest please, don't insult me this time".

[Daily]

[◇Complete 1000 steps (0/1000)

◇Weightlifting (0/50kg)

◇push ups(0/10)]

[Failing to perform this quest will attract a severe punishment]

Immediately after hearing this Abel had his frail body on the floor and he had already started the daily quest.

------

[Lysander academy]

In front of the first class of the third level of high school, a teacher stood with his book held carefully in his hands. He wore a blue shirt with a pair of blue black trousers and a pair of brown shoes. He had a well kept moustache on his face.

He had a blank expression as he stared at the students in the room. The students were excited about what they were going to learn for the day.

"Today we will have a special lesson about the anatomy of an evolved body", the teacher announced to his students. He smiled gently after saying this.

Most of the students had joyous expressions on their faces. I guess they had waited for this lesson for so long that after hearing it from the teacher their joy knew no bounds.

A few of them had their world crushing down when the words had hit their ears. They wanted to protest but they knew it would be no good to do that. Abel was among those students. They were actually two in the class.

They were both treated like trash in the classroom, deserted and rejected as if they were nothing but trash to be trampled upon.

The other person was a girl, she had being quiet since the first day she stepped her foot inside the classroom. In spite of her hostile attitude, the students still found ways to ridicule her.

"Energy we absorb from the crystals do not just vanish after it has evolved our bodies. It is stored at the centre of our chest where it helps regulate your body's actions.

Therefore in an instance where you will have to use some of your evolved powers, you pour out the energy to the part of your body you want it to be used.

By doing this the energy moves through your vessels bit by bit till they reached the required body part. Afterwards the energy is then converted into the magicka based on the attributes of the energy consumed.

This is the only way by which magicka can be used. In order to use this process of which I know all of you excluding those two have already accomplished, one must learn how to channel their energy through their body.

Channeling of energy helps increase the amount energy you can transport at a point in time. The process has several stages which helps group magicka users of different kinds.

Your ability to channel your energy determines the power and strength of your magicka.

These stages include;

>Bronze(3)

>Silver(3)

>Gold(4)

>Platinum (4)

>Diamond (5)

>King(3)

>Lord(3)

>Evil(6)

>Demon(5)

>Saint(4)

>Demi-god(4)

>God(2)

>Arcane(9)

(Author's note: the figures attached to these ranks are sub stages of the ranks.)

Each successful breakthrough grants the person immense control over their magicka. It can even reach a point in time when the energy will be already spread throughout the body and there will be no need to channel it. That's just the importance of channeling your energy out of its comfort zone."

With each word that was spoken out Abel could feel his eyes tearing up. He was never meant to have a magicka of his own since he lacked the money to purchase an energy crystal.

The class continued for a while but Abel had once again dozed off before the lesson could end. Maybe he got bored on the way.

----------

It was finally break. The students stormed out of their classrooms in search of the cafeteria where they could grab some snacks.

Abel treaded silently towards the place. The place was huge and could contain almost tens of thousands of students. It contained tables which were each surrounded by four chairs arranged neatly.

The place was currently occupied by students of all kinds. Abel was shocked to find out most of the students enjoyed the free daily meal the school gave out to it's students. That was what he was also going to take.

"Free meals! Free meal! Can't wait to get my free meals!...", he sang in his head as he proceeded towards the counter.

"Leave me alone, Riley!", a voice screamed. Abel turned to look at the spectacle only to find Riley, the school's bulley and his goons holding on to and enclosing a girl in a circle.

On close inspection, the girl looked familiar. She had jet black hair like Abel which were now moving effortlessly as she tried to find her way out of the situation.

This was the first Abel had ever heard her voice. It was like a melody to the soul but who knew the devil which laid hidden behind that voice.

He had wanted to proceed without involving himself in the situation but the girl was powerless. She was Jazzlyn, she was the other non-evolved in his class. He couldn't just stand by and watch another member of his class get bullied by anyone even if they were to be an evolved.

Without second thought he had sprung into action as he inched closer to Riley and his goons. "Hey there Riley, I think she is not happy with what you guys are doing. Can you stop it and let her g..o".

Bam!

Before Abel could finish his statement, a fist had crushed into his face. He was sent flying away in a distance. The sound of his skull crushing was heard immediately when the two collided. Blood was spat on the floor as Abel bent down staring at the tiled floor below his body.

[Full Recovery skill activated]

[Apathy is at 20%]

"This much exhaustion after taken just a simple blow from this idiot", he muttered out to himself. His body slowly returned back to normal after the skill had done its work.

By this time, the girl had used this chance to move out of the circle and was already gone.

Abel after standing up and noticing this sped out of the Cafeteria in search of refuge.

While on his way, system messages popped up in front of his line of sight.

[Hidden side quest completed]

[Defend the powerless girl to affirm what you stand for.

Reward

50exp points

5 stat points.

Punishment: unknown]

Abel had a huge smile on his face as he stormed out of the hallway of the school headed for his class.

[Apathy is at 60%]

The feeling of fatigue could be sensed but its intensity was irrelevant at the moment. Riley and his goons weren't following him at the moment which was a sign of relief for the poor boy.

All he could do was hope he could run out of the school before they could spot him by this way he will be gone before they notice. He never wanted to retreat but his strength wasn't enough.
