Using System Points

I got home that day more furious than ever. This was the first time I’d tasted defeat since my regression, and trust me, I didn’t like the feeling. I sent a message to my tutor and called in sick without going into too much detail.

I was in no mood for class as all I had on my mind was revenge, and the rage I felt kept increasing by the minute.

The rest of the day went on as a blur, and nighttime came calling pretty quickly. I lay on my bed, dejected. I tried closing my eyes to sleep, but it didn’t work.

I’d practically wasted the day away. I didn’t go to class, I made no research on stocks and other money-making prospects, and I also missed my self-defense and martial arts session for that day.

I was mad at myself for letting my bad experience at the gym put a wedge on my goal progression, but I just couldn’t help it.

When I finally came to and realized I had wasted the whole day complaining like an angered baby, I chastised myself.

Whenever a problem presents itself, instead of accepting it, you look for a means to procure a solution.

First of all, what did I need to do? The problem I faced now was that the bully at the gym's ego would have skyrocketed, and he would be as confident as ever.

The bullying is definitely not going to stop now, and I wracked my brain for a nonviolent means to an end but couldn’t seem to come up with any.

If I reported him to the gym officials and they took action, I would end up being called names by everyone in the gym, and it could lead to a confrontation outside the gym which was out of their jurisdiction.

I didn’t have any friends in the gym, and most people would rather mind their business and wouldn’t want to get involved as he had a lot of friends and influence in the gym.

As I wrecked my brain for a solution and couldn’t come up with any, a thought crossed my mind.

I remembered when the system offered a self-defense option and wondered what that was about.

‘I should start relying on the system more often; I’m still not fully aware of its origin and the possibilities it could produce. Maybe I’ll just go with this problem to it.’

“System!” I muttered.

“What is the full extent of your capabilities?”

‘The code? What is that? I’m tempted to ask but right now I was more concerned with defeating my foe.’ I thought.

“How can I overcome the issue I’m presented with?”

“Yes.”

*DOWNLOADING INFORMATION…..*

*D******D COMPLETE*

[Yes] [No]

Yes.

Unlike the first time where I had a huge headache while trying to do an information transfer, I felt no pain this time. It was like a gentle breeze had washed over me, and I felt so relaxed.

*TRANSFER COMPLETE*

“For now, no,” I said, swiping to close the window.

I sat up on my bed and concentrated and was amazed by how many possibilities I could take to resolve the issue. The system really was powerful, and I had failed to maximize its full potential before.

That was a mistake, but now I would spend more time studying it.

After thinking for a while, I settled for an option. Even the system couldn’t seem to produce a nonviolent method of resolving the issue, so I gave up on trying to be peaceful.

There was no way I would get out of this without a fight, and I settled on that.

-Purchase an ability with your SP from the SP shop.

This was the option I’d picked.

I didn’t exactly know what it meant, but I was about to find out.

“System, open my status window,” I said, and it opened.

[Status Window]

Name: Malcolm Shade

Age: 18 years

Occupation: Student

Current Status: Healthy/Unemployed

HP: 100/100 (Fully recovered)

SP: 25

{Additional Information}

The host currently faces a problem that he fervently searches for a solution to.

[End Of Information]

‘Hmm, just 25 SP, that feels like it’s too little,’ I thought.

“Open the SP shop,” I said.

What I saw next blew my mind away. The SP shop had everything one could dream of for sale. I was in the abilities section and had access to powers that you would only see possessed by characters in comic books.

I scrolled through and couldn’t keep my jaw shut. Telekinesis for 5000 SP, Invisibility for 10000 SP, and there were some crazy skills as well like -The Great One and Maelstrom for millions of SP.

I was very mad at myself for not realizing all this until now and chastised myself for neglecting the system, but all that was going to change.

I would maximize the system to its full potential and gain crazy abilities. ‘This regression just got a whole lot crazier,’ I thought.

Still in shock by my new discovery, I decided not to neglect the task at hand, and after scrolling for hours, I finally found what I was looking for, a low rank skill called *Foresight.*

Foresight would allow me to see fractions of seconds into the future whenever the system determined I was in danger or whenever I chose to activate it.

I opened the details of the skill and read through it.

Duration - 1 minute

C.D - 5 minutes (can only be used thrice per day)

Stamina cost - 20

Price - 25 SP

[Yes] [No]

This skill had a lot of drawbacks and had limited use, which was why I could understand why it was low-ranked and had a low SP cost, but it was exactly what I needed.

If I did happen to get into a fight with the guy at the gym, I could win without breaking a sweat as long as I could get it over with in a minute.

This was enough for me; this was my first of many abilities, and I couldn’t help but wonder how far I would go eventually.

“Yes!” I muttered.

    “Genesis, I don’t intend to engage them in a prolonged battle. My plan is simple: I’ll transport them to a specific location in another world, use Starforge to unleash an all-out attack, and then transport myself back to my world before they can retaliate. I won’t give them a chance to regroup. It will be swift and decisive.”I stood firm in my conviction, determined to see this through, despite the risks.Genesis remained silent for a few moments, processing the information.Genesis let out a long sigh, almost as if the system itself was struggling to come to terms with my proposed plan.[Damon, with the potential for so many things to go wrong, I must give you a more honest assessment of the situation. Based on my calculations, I estimate your chances of success at only 10%. This is an extremely risky endeavor. If even one variable does not go as planned, you could be facing a formidable enemy without my support, and your odds of survival would diminish drastically.]I took a deep b

While I couldn't use the Grimoire, these robes could prove invaluable in my journey.It was from one high level equipment to another, but I couldn't keep this up for long.Considering the amount of damage they could potentially cause to my world, as well as the constant sneak attacks, I knew I had to get moving…quickly.However, there was still one more thing I needed to confirm."Genesis, the skills I obtain each time I'm attacked, are they permanent?” I conveyed my thoughts toward it expecting a response.[Damon, the skills you obtain through the Counter skill are indeed temporary.

    As Vladislav shared his experience with the Player Wars, I couldn't help but grin, a spark of recognition in my eyes. "I've been through it too," I admitted, nodding in solidarity."So you know what it's like then," he said, a sense of camaraderie growing between us."Yes. The Player Wars are no joke. They're brutal, but I survived. I'm still here." I said, a sense of pride and resilience in my voice."Looks like we have more in common than we thought," Vladislav replied.Curious about the skills that made him such a formidable assassin, I asked, "So, what are your skills? What's your main specialty?"Vladislav's eyes narrowed as he considered my question. "Assassination, obviously. My skill set includes Shadow Cloak, which lets me become invisible for a limited time. Silent Stalker, which muffles my footsteps and masks my presence. And, of course, Bloodlust. The more enemies I kill, the stronger I become.""Not to mention my enhanced senses. There's also Silent Strike, which allows

    I still felt some sort of apprehension at the fact that the other person in pursuit had escaped, but that was beyond my power now.All I had to do now was focus on what came next, and honestly, I had no idea what to do.‘Genesis, if only you were here,’ I thought to myself. ‘You'd know what to do.’Just as I finished that thought, I was startled by a sudden notification in my mind.NOTICESystem upgrade completed. Rebooting.A progress bar appeared, counting from 0% to 100%.The progress bar steadily crept towards 100%, and I couldn't shake the thought that Genesis would once again be available to me. ‘It'll be back, I'm sure of it,’ I thought, and I felt a surge of optimism and relief washing over me. The assassin, sensing my distraction, cleared his throat. "Do you have a plan?" he asked, a hint of concern in his voice."For now, we return to the safe house. I'll need some time to think things through." My response seemed to placate the assassin, and he nodded in agreement.We mad

    He then explained the quest log that they all received to me.The assassin, still trembling, began to reveal the contents of the quest log that had been shared among all players. His voice shook as he explained that I had been marked as a target, and every player had been transported to this world with the sole purpose of eliminating me. According to the quest, until my demise, none of the players would be able to leave my world. They were granted unrestricted access to their skills, allowing them to utilize their full potential in their pursuit to end my life.
