LEVEL UP

Level up

Standing on a tree and watching all her activities was a mini drone, created by Tahir.

“For some reason she has been tailing us, I need you all to be on alert at all times”. Tahir told his friends.

“Here I was thinking you were flirting with her, " Esha said with her face flushed.

“Flirting?, With her? Ewww. I can't possibly think of that, I know she was bad news from the start.”

Sensing the discussion was swaying to an uncomfortable zone, Zahra decided to chirp in.

“When are we starting our preparation for the forthcoming beast hunt.

I'm sorry to say but we are one of the weakest groups on the ground, we got a level one earth user and a level two non ability user.

Believe me your swordsmanship would be utterly useless against ability users.

So you ain't gonna count, I'm sorry if I was too blunt Zahra said while maintaining eye contact with Tahir”.

“It's nothing, I have heard worse, besides y'all shouldn't think I'm here to hold or slow you guys down.

No matter what happens on the field, don't forget the main job, mission before man always”. Tahir said with seriousness in his tone.

“I suggest we start our training as soon as possible.

I think I'll focus on being able to maintain three abilities at once.

You guys should try and master how to get absolute control on your abilities also.

I'll take Kelvin under me and teach him most of what I know.

Tahir I think I'll trust you with taking care of yourself, somehow I can't seem to know why, but strength is written all over you.

I hope you don't fail this team”, Kris said with a grin on his face.

“If you are challenging me to a competition, then I'll gladly accept", Tahir said with a smile.

“Training should begin tomorrow if you all are ready”. Tahir said.

“We are all ready,” Zahra said in between her juice gulp.

Sensing it was late, Tahir decides after everyone finishes the drink, they should all retire to their dorms.

Everyone was chilling when the bully from earlier was seen coming to approach them.

Kris, seeing him immediately prepared for battle, but was surprised when he came and gave Tahir a shake and sat down opposite Tahir.

“I'm here to say a few words, apologize and provide my full support.

My name is Jude Bellingham, and I'm sorry for earlier he said. Turning to Tahir he exhaled and began, I'm here to tell you that the entire senior team and higher level abilities users are going to make you all the area of concentration.

So they could steal your beast crystals.

I can't protect you all but I'll try my possible best to help you all.

I'm here because of a favor Tahir did for me awhile ago.

Consider me and Ally rather than a foe”.

“Consider you and Ally? When you nearly killed us? There is no way that's happening.

He has a plan, he probably wants to kill us, don't believe him Tahir”. Kris said with anger directed at Jude.

“If by any chance you try to kill us in any of this, I swear I'll kill you”, Tahir said with seriousness as Jude was starting to feel his palm get sweaty.

There is something different about that tune, he sounds more serious than ever, as if he means it. Currently everyone has those thoughts in their mind.

Because they could feel Jude getting scared, someone who almost killed them the other time.

“I'm seriously on your guy's side.

Think about it, I'll meet your team an hour before the tour. With that Jude stands up and leaves”.

Immediately Jude left the system to pop-up an interface.

[Host need an ally]

[Jude Bellingham is a the only available ally]

[Accept ally to get 30 EXP]

Not thinking twice Tahir pressed The yes icon and somehow, he felt as if he was now connected to Jude.

[Congratulations 30 EXP added to your stats]

[First ally, a free stats point have been allocated]

[Minimum EXP needed for level up achieved]

[Commence level up?]

Tahir clicked on no, reason being he didn't want the others to know what will happen when he level up and he isn't ready to start explaining to them.

Telling them he was done for the day and needed rest, Tahir stood up from his chair and was on his way to his dorm when the system beeps again.

[Daily quest completed]

[ + 5 Exp]

Tahir Muttered stats and his interface popped up.

[User: Tahir]

[Race: Human]

[Level: 1]

[105/100 exp]

[HP: 10/10]

[Strength: 10]

[Agility: 10]

[Stamina: 11]

[+2 stats].

Now this is getting interesting Tahir mumbled to himself with a large grin on his face.

Arriving at his dorm, Tahir made up his mind to try something out.

He went into the empty void in his head as his body in the outside world lay lifeless.

Calling his system out, the interface popped up again, asking the other two living in his head rent free, If they could see the system and they both said no.

“Commence level up”, Tahir said as the system beeped.

[Congratulations you are now a level two]

[Level up process starting!]

[All changes would be irreversible after level up]

“Wait, what does all the changes would be irreversible means”, but before he could understand what was happening.

He could feel his entire body on fire.

It felt as if fire was coursing through his veins.

Pain and all his past emotions were starting to play right before his very eyes.

He could feel death's prying eyes on him.

Not able to hold the pain any longer, he screamed in his lungs, as his body was visibly shaking on his bed in the dorm.

After what seems like hours to Tahir, he could finally feel the pains subside.

Opening his eyes, the first eyes to meet him, were the eyes of his two friends living in his head.

“You alright kid”? Shaw asked.

“Yes, I think I'm alive," Tahir replied.

“You think”? Bruce shipped in.

“You were in so much pain, what happened?, You were clearly almost dying.

The system almost killed you kid”. Shaw was saying with a hint of worry in his tone.

“I don't know you guys cared about me that much”, Tahir said with a grin.

“Beep” the system interface popped up again.

[Congratulations on leveling up successfully]

[You have now become a vampire Halfling].

[New skill unlock: Blood manipulation:Blood hardening]

[System skill unlocked: God's Eye]

Wait, I'm a fucking vampire now? That is impossible.

“Hold on kid, what part of tribrid system didn't you understand?

You just become a vampire, they are more to come kid.

Tribrid is more than just a vampire, you are three beasts living in one body”. Shaw said with a hard tone.

“I just hope you are ready for the yet to come kid”, Bruce chirped in.

Pacing through the room was Kris and Kelvin.

“What do you think is wrong with him, is it a bad dream, or was he poisoned?

I swear if it is poisoned, I'll find and kill Jude” Kris was saying to no one in particular.

“I'm sure it's just a nightmare”, nothing else. Kelvin added.

In the middle of their conversation, Tahir woke up and overheard the conversation, he was relieved they partially thought it was a nightmare.

“Hey guys, I just had a really bad dream”, Tahir said.

“I'm glad you're alright”, Kris said while heaving in relief.

“Can we sleep now”, Kelvin groaned.

And they all erupted in laughter.

Everyone was asleep when Tahir decided to head out...
