Chapter 5: 1 good deed a day?

As I sat down and continued with my day it eventually became midnight, around the time when I slept.

Right as I was about to fall asleep, I overheard something from the radio.

"Sir, someone has requested help on 43rd street at downtown avenue. Apparently a couple of men were seen dragging women into an alley."

"Send the closest unit there immediately."

[Author's Note: I am making the address up for the address.]

[Quest Alert:

Difficulty Rank: F

Description: Save the women who needs help, make your mark in the world

Reward: ?

Penalty: None]

Well at least this system is not forcing me to take this quest...the question is, should I go? This has nothing to do with me and right now this is not my main focus. I just want to calm myself down, and eventually get home.

But I can still just check it out. I also think I have a working idea as to why the penalty and rewards system is blank, I just need to confirm that theory.

...

I then took a cab towards where the crime was going to happen, and just waited nearby.

I also brought a hoodie with me and covered my face, just in case I got caught on camera or something of the sort.

I then decided to put my 'plan' into motion.

I looked around for any large group of guys.

Believe it or not, crowd mentality is a thing. At least I believed it was.

My confidence level always skyrocketed when I was with a group of friends I felt comfortable with.

I would do things I would never do. Like asking a girl for her number.

If I was alone, I might even turn a blind eye to stuff like these.

After finding a group of what seemed to be working adults coming from a local restaurant , I went closer to them.

I then dropped my phone near them and started to take a brisk walk near the predicted crime area.

Eventually, we reached there right on time to see 4 dudes in a good mood, slowly leading a female who was cowering in fear to an anointed alleyway.

She tried to run, but they just blocked her.

It was when she started to scream," HELP." Did the group that followed me see what's going on?

"What are you doing!?" One of them shouted as he walked towards the people in the hoods, while the rest followed him.

"N.Nothing man, we just wanted to talk to our friend here." One of the guys in the hoodie replied.

"Ma'am if they are bothering you just follow us."

The lady broke down into tears, starting screaming thank-you, and ran to the men Who saved her in tears.

[Quest Completed

The host helped substantially by indirectly helping the women in danger

Participation rate: 51%

Reward: Low-Tier limit breaker potion]

Jackpot seems like 1 of my theories about this system is right.

It seems that because of what I wrote on the survey, the system has been modified from how normal systems have been portrayed in novels. Instead of being completely controlling, it is trying to help me based on the impact I have on society.

"Kid, here's your phone, you dropped it just now." The man passed me the phone then left with his group.

I took the phone, nodded to the man and took a cab back home.

...

Back at my house, I pressed on the limit breaker Potion.

[Author's note: for the complete and utter record. The limit breaker potion ONLY BREAKS HIS LIMITERS. It does not INCREASE his stat. It's like this, if a human's potential is set to forever be at C, hard work and utter endurance in training might bring it to C+, but every single increase from there is impossible unless u spend every waking moment of your life training. In the same case, if your limit is A, you will gain strength much, MUCH, faster. So this limit breaker basically increases his training speed in that specific stat.]

[Item: Low-Tier Limit Breaker Potion

Rank: E

Description: An item that will break the limits of 1 particular stat of the host at random. The highest rank a normal human can reach is F+ rank. A talented person can reach the E+ rank and some rare geniuses can reach even higher ranks.

Unfortunately the host is not a person of talent and desperately needs these potions]

I then looked at the potion and decided that I would not take it right now. I don't know if the potion will cause any pain, I want to be in my peak condition when I try this risky potion out.

And just like that, I proceeded to sleep for the next day.

However it was a little hard with the radio constantly buzzing. At one point I just turned it off. 1 good deed is all the world gets for now, I am no Hero after all.

...

After waking up and hyping myself up for a bit, I took the potion from the system and drank it.

[A random stat has been selected...vitality has been selected]

[The limit of the Vitality stat has been broken, current limit of the host is higher]

I then pressed on the stat Vitality for a more in-depth explanation of the stat.

[Vitality- A person's ability to live, grow, and develop. Vitality also refers to having energy and being vigorous and active. Being ill or being treated for a disease, such as cancer, may lessen a person's vitality.]

Well, it seems good that...I will be sick less often? Maybe I will be able to be more productive during my daily cycle of life as well? We will have to see more about it in the future.

I then decided to continue this cycle of my life for 1 month, right up to when school will start.
