—[Action Failed!]
—[Player's Current Power Level is insufficient!]
Henri's enthusiasm immediately died as soon as he received this series of system notifications. At the same time, the black flames gradually died down as well.
"Tch. What was I even thinking.." he let out a small self mocking laughter. Even after miraculously coming back to life, his luck still remained the same — Horrible!
—[Player has received Daily Quest!]
—[Daily Quest; Early Build Up!]
"Daily Quest?" with his interest piqued by the sudden system notification, Henri clicked the notification tab for further details.
—[QUEST INFO]
- Name: Early Build Up
- Type: Daily
- Details: Earn +10k DMG points
- Guide: 30 push-ups, 20 press ups, 10 squats

Successfully checking up on his sister, Henri eventually left the premises of Ivy Blue Hospital, boarding a taxi with his destination set towards his apartment building.
However what Henri didn't know was that just across the road, a man inside a sleek black sedan secretly took a picture of him.
Returning back to his apartment, Henri didn't waste any moment longer, getting right into the workout presented to him by the system. Although he had no idea regarding the value of DMG points or even what the system was and how it operated, he could still clearly recall the sensation he felt from those black flames from earlier.
Henri didn't know why, but he had an inkling that the system wasn't lying when it claimed those flames could cure his sister — Call it a hunch.
Or maybe Henri was just merely grasping at straws.
But either way one thing was certain, it was highly unlikely he would be able to fully foot the bills for his sister's operation.
..
"Twenty eight.."
"Twenty nine.."
With his chin dripping with sweat, Henri King was currently bare chested, the glistening sweat across his lean frame being particularly eye catching. Currently both of his arms were spread apart with his palms kising the outdated tiles inside his small cozy apartment.
'Damnit. Damnit!' he cussed inwardly as he suddenly lost connection to either of his arms.
One more --
He just needed to push his chest upward one more time and he would successfully complete the system daily Quest!
Over the past six days since he began using the workout the System provided , this was the single moment he dreaded.. this was the moment that always made it impossible for him to complete the System daily Quest
But not today!
With the veins on his forehead bulging, Henri tried his best not to think about the fatigue or searing ache both of his arms were currently suffering from. No. The only thing that existed in his mind at that moment was his beloved sister who was still in a comatose state.
'I can't afford to be lazy. She's depending on me!'
Due to his inability to complete the system daily quest over the past six days, Henri was unable to earn any DMG points. During that time, he had taken it upon himself to become familiar with the workings of the System.
However no matter what angle he looked at it from, earning DMG points was extremely crucial. This was why, today, he was going to complete the System's daily quest!
— Even if that meant breaking all the bones in his body!
"Nghn.. Thirty!" releasing one last grunt, Henri was finally unable to hold it back in. With both of his arms going limp, his entire frame crashed against the tiles like a useless pile of weight.
However as soon as he noticed a particular virtual screen popping up before his eyes, a smile broke through his lips --
Right before he lost consciousness.
..
Henri had no idea how long he was unconscious for. But as soon as he regained consciousness, he didn't even bother about changing out from his sweaty clothes. His attention was immediately focused on the unread system notification.
—[Congratulations! Player has completed Daily Quest; Early Build Up]
"Haha.." Henri let out a small laugh of victory. Despite it taking him nearly a week, he finally did it!
He was now a step closer to curing his sister's ailment!
—[Rewards has been successfully processed!]
—[Player has received +10k DMG points!]
—[Player has received +1 Starters Pack!]
—[System Lottery Function has been successfully unlocked!]
Ignoring the sudden influx of notifications, Henri's attention was completely focused on his recently earned DMG points. However upon reading the full information about it, his countenance immediately sank.
—[System Tidbit]
- DMG points is one of the System's crucial currencies. It can only be earned via taking HP damage.
- All DMG points are automatically converted into Gold Tickets.
- Gold Tickets can be used to draw the System Lottery
- Current Gold Tickets: 10
..
"Just ten?" Henri felt a tad bit disappointed at the exchange rate.
DMG points could only be earned if he took HP damage right? shouldn't it be a bit more valuable?
Dispelling this stray thought from off his mind, Henri focused his attention on the tab labeled as [Lottery Spin]
Successfully clicking on the system tab, a new window screen opened up before his eyes; displaying what appeared to be a virtual lottery wheel that was divided into;
—[Thanks For Spinning!]
—[Cultivation Resources]
—[Skill Resources]
—[Item Resources]
—Gold Tickets: 10
—Diamond Tickets: 10
"Gold and Diamond Tickets" Henri muttered his breath as he read the series of information being displayed before his eyes.
However he didn't have the opportunity to mull over this mystery for long because a new notification suddenly popped up.
—[Lottery Spin automatically drawn!]
—[ -1 Diamond Ticket]
As per the heads up the system gave him, Henri watched as the virtual lottery wheel began rapidly spinning, only to suddenly
experience a sharp decline before its arrow slowly landed on [Cultivation Resources]
—[Congratulations! +1 mana fruit obtained!]

"Young Master, was the food to your liking?" Henri had just dabbed off the grease stains on his lips when he heard Fordham's voice a couple paces beside him.Dropping the napkin onto the table, which was still cluttered with half-finished plates of sumptuous delicacies, Henri glanced in the Deva's direction. "Unfortunately, I am not a gourmet. But I can confidently say your culinary skills is the second best I have experienced.""Second best?" Fordham's expression changed into one of pure intrigue when he heard Henri's rating.Taking notice of the shift in the Deva's mood, Henri continued in, his eyes narrowed solemnly. "The person in question is already dead.""However.." Sticking up a finger, Henri continued. "While I enjoyed the meal, I found the ensemble too excessive. Next time, try reducing the number of side dishes and appetizers.""Yes Young Master."With his gaze briefly lingering on Fordham, Henri's brows suddenly narrowed with confusion as his eyes drifted around, finally r

"Tsk. Show off." Henri clicked his tongue. "Considering how you mentioned Colony Mode being the opposite of Hive Mode, does that mean there is a limit to the number of fractal copies?" —[ ~ Affirmative. The minimum number of fractal copies is two while the maximum number is capped at a thousand copies.]—[ ~ Considering how all personnels affiliated with the Auxillary Reserve Corp are strictly at the Ranger Rank, the number of fractal copies they can individually create is limited to a meagre two copies.] A sharp glint flickered across Henri's eyes when he heard this. "Does that mean if a Deva levels up beyond the Ranger Rank, they automatically get assigned to another sub unit?" "Does a new sub unit mean a change in the appearance of their skin?" "How can I level up a Deva?"The revelation in Omega Prime's last sentence was akin to a spark hitting a powder keg, setting off a chain questions popping continuously in Henri's head.—[ ~ Based on the current metrics, the price to evo

—[ ~ As extensions of the Overlord's will for absolute conquest, the core objective of the Deva Army is to spearhead the Overlord's will to conquer all. It is only a given that their military might is unparalleled.] It took a whole minute and half before Henri finished processing the context of Prime's remark. "I see.."—[ ~ I can sense that you are feeling overwhelmed. ] "Overwhelmed?" Henri cleared his throat. "Why would I be?"—[ ~ Although I am unable to stop you from feeling that way, I can give you a piece of advice.]—[ ~ The path of a conqueror isn't defined by fate but rather engineered by the conquerors themselves.]' Is he trying to reassure me?' Henri wondered inwardly. "You previously said that only Devas belonging to the Auxillary Reserve Corp are able to access Colony Mode. Why is that?"—[ ~ This limitation was strategically imposed by me in an effort to maximize efficiency while minimizing resource allocations.]As if sensing Henri's growing confusion, Omega Prime

"C--Changes? what—" before Henri could finish speaking, the door leading to his room swung open. Shifting his gaze towards the direction of the person who just walked in, Henri's jaws nearly dropped to the cold tiles. " F--Fordham?!" Currently, Fordham was no longer clad in a a three piece formal suit. Instead, he was now clad in a high-collar, double-breasted chef’s jacket made of a crisp, stark white fabric that was immaculately tailored to his upper body. The jacket featured sharp black piping along the edges and a row of polished, obsidian-black buttons running down the right side. The collar remained upright, framing his strong jawline that was faintly covered by a strap beard. Slung casually over his right shoulder was a long, dark charcoal apron tied tightly at his waist, draping down to his knees. He also wore fitted, pitch-black trousers and a pair of polished leather boots. Noticing the puzzled look the Deva was directing at him, Henri cleared his throat in a bid t

This rebate function is different from the one I received back at the Orchard of Beginnings banner.." with his eyes skimming over the system tidbits that explained the usage of the Limited-Usage Rebate Function for the second time, Henri 's brows knitted in deep contemplation."Instead of exchanging useless items for high tier ones, I get a tenfold rebate for every item that I generously give away..?" pacing around his room, Henri immediately began formulating a theory.' If I am right, this temporary rebate function just might be the answer to my logistics problem. Unfortunately, it has a time limit so I need to act fast.' Reaching this conclusion, Henri raced towards the door leading to the bathroom. Emerging from the bathroom ten minutes later, Henri proceeded to pick out a new outfit from his shabby wardrobe. Due to the nature of his previous job that involved delivering illegal goods for the Colorado Eagles gang, a large majority of the outfits in Henri's wardrobe were either i
