Aiden's heart kept beating in his chest as he wondered if all of this could be real because just moments ago he was a weakling, orphan boy and was not sure about his purpose in life and now out of nowhere he has been given stats like he was a character in a video game and equipment he had never heard of such as speed, mana, abilities, and equipment.

Aiden kept trying hard to process all of it but none of it made sense as he wondered why the system chose him, and was surprised because he had always been an ordinary boy struggling with life challenges but not someone with super abilities or hidden powers.

Aiden stood up slowly as he tried to test if the system screen would appear back but nothing happened. He kept wondering if there was something inside him that he didn't know about or was there some secret tied to his past or his grandmother's death.

Aiden began to breathe heavily as he needed answers for all these questions running through his head but didn't know who to ask.

Aiden glanced around the area hoping to find a clue but everything was like that just as he was.

Aiden was shaking before he finally sat back. The edge of the tree while holding his head in confusion and staring at the amulet in surprise. If this is not a dream then it means something bigger is happening and he is involved but what?, he kept wondering.

Then suddenly a thought came to his mind like a whisper, Aiden who was still trying to process what the strange system screen showed. As his mind was racing in different directions.

Aiden stood up as his legs were still trembling and decided to calm himself down and do as the system instructed.

The next morning, Aiden woke up and was feeling different.

PROCESSING HAS BEEN COMPLETED

POWERS HAVE BEEN GRANTED TO THE VESSEL.

Aiden rose up sluggishly from his bed feeling a bit relieved from his earlier headache. He glanced outside the window and noticed it was morning already.

"Can't believe I actually survived that." Aiden mused as the encounter with Finral and Elizabeth setting the house on fire with him inside began to play in his head over and over again like it was yesterday, not knowing it was up to one month.

"My wounds.." Aiden glanced at his injured body but there was nothing. Not even a single scratch, which made him puzzled.

"What is this thing, like a system, am I a robot?" Aiden wonders.

"I had doubts about this system thing earlier..but after what happened, it convinced me that it's actually real. Question is where did it come from? I guess it is from my amulet."

Then suddenly the system displayed a notification.

Aiden gazed at the holographic screen in front of him with his fingers rubbing his chin in contemplation.

"This is almost like the game I played back in those days," Aiden mused in contemplation. He had no reason to doubt how authentic the system was after what he went through, so he just proceeded to examine it and figure out how it works fully.

"If it's truly like the game, then leveling up would make me stronger," Aiden grinned. He has always been the weak human that all abled people with abilities are bullied.

"Hmm..strange. I've never heard of anyone with an electric ability, and it requires mana?" Aiden mused with a puzzled expression while examining the screen. "Also, the dash ability also requires mana for use. People who only rely on speed don't need mana to become fast..but once their stamina rubs out their pace reduces. Why then do I need mana, but there is no panel for stamina?"

None of it made sense to Aiden, and after wondering for several more minutes he dismissed the thoughts and shifted his gaze to the stats panel.

"20 available points. I don't need anyone to tell me what happens once I place the points in my stats." Aiden smirked with his gaze glued on the screen floating in front of him.

"Right now, I need to become stronger to at least fight back my oppressors. Agility won't make me strong, it's more like a defensive stats. Same as reflex."

"Speed still looks handy, but strength is what I need the most. If I can get stronger by increasing my strength.

STRENGTH + 20 Equals To 40 Strength.

Coming to conclusion, Aiden added his points to his strength stats and felt a refreshing energy surge through his body and his muscles increased slightly.

"I really don't feel any different." Aiden lamented as he rose up from the bed and threw out a few punches in the air, but couldn't feel any change in the impact.

"Maybe just 20 points isn't enough." Aiden mused while scanning through the screen until he reached the end which stated the daily quests.

"Ah, I totally forgot about this. Daily quest." Aiden uttered gleefully as he read through the quests. "10 pushups is a piece of cake..same as sit ups and lifting. Problem is how am I going to run to complete the last quest?.

Aiden then got down and swiftly completed the push ups and sit ups. He stood up and lifted his wooden bed off the floor and completed the third quest with ease.

"Just one left..maybe I can complete it here also." Aiden mused as he began to run back and forth in his small room until he finally received the last notification.

Aiden's eyes widened in shock after reading the notification.

"Hidden reward?" He questioned before clicking on it.
