2 Chapter 2, System boogaloo
I stood up from the bed, and started thinking. This world has 2 factions, one of which I wouldn't even go near due to them basically being MAIDENLESS.
Cough
I mean.
Their lack of fine females and general assholery.
So, It's probably a good thing that I can't kill people, because that's the main requirement of the faction with all the ladies.
I definitely don't want to be blacklisted from the lifegiving fist guys just because I accidentally punched someone too hard. After that though my vision goes blurry for a moment while my memories from this life are shoved right in there like a hot-poker on a cows ass.
INT from 8 to 9 for thinking of the good parts of a bad situation.
I shrug and start doing pushups in hopes that strengthening my body while brainstorming isn't a waste of time.
WIS from 8 to 9 for using your brain in order to not waste your time.
Well, my memories say I'm an orphan but this apartment sure says otherwise. It's a really nice apartment after all. Barebones backstory too. This is a serious minimum effort.
Anyway, in this world my parents died of a car crash, but they were on vacation in japan. I'm half-japanese even with the name Zack Hammers and fuck you for that stupid last name by the way.
My memories of myself in the mirror clearly show some White haired bishounen ripoff that looks like a taller DXD Kiba ripoff. With a sharper jawline and white hair.
Instead of his falsely innocent eyes mine seem to smolder with intensity without my input.
STR 8 to 9 for pushing your muscles.
That was fast, I only did 3 push ups! I've got plenty in the tank, too.
Up, down, up, down. I feel the burn. That's 9 push ups so far.
END 8 to 9 for going longer than you should with how much STR and END you started with.
STR 9 to 10 for feeling the burn, only to stop feeling the burn by being refreshed.
I keep going because the fact that I keep getting END and STR that stops me from getting too tired to continue is utter bullshit.
I love this kind of bullshit.
-1hp
I fall to the floor like my arms are dead.
You have reached collapse for your arm muscles.
STR 10 to 13.
END 9 to 12
VIT 8 to 11
Shrugging internally because my arms clearly can't do it for me, I approach the chair in the corner and drag myself like a worm towards it using my stomach and chin.
VIT 11 to 12 for doing a- shall I say- umm- unique. That's the word, Unique, core workout. You go man-worm!
"Thanks for the extra VIT, but seriously stop mocking me for doing what needs to be done, seriously." I mumbled, as a bit of dust in my face got in my mouth.
I got no response, but I wasn't expecting one.
I shrug, and with a twist of my legs and core, I'm in an upright sitting position in the chair. My head over the backrest and luckily it's a spin chair, so I can probably train DEX with this.
For being smart by doing crazy stuff to achieve your fitness goals and by using a mad plan that actually worked, your INT and WIS have improved accordingly
INT 9 to 12
WIS 9 to 12
By doing a strange, not-quite-kip-up into a chair for a reverse sitting position, only to want MORE gainz of the DEX variety, Here's some DEX.

10 minutes of me spinning in the chair and trying to hit a spot I chose with my feet over and over.
I stop before I feel like I need to vomit more than I already do.
I get what you were trying to do, but that's not a dex exercise, that's just torturing yourself. But since that was so entertaining and stupid that it made me laugh I'll make an exception just for you.
For being dexterously dumb, DEX 13 to 16.
For being so entertaining that my laugh will endure for a while, END 12 to 14
I raise my hand in a salute, I lower my pinky finger and raise my hand further, I drop the thumb into a fist so It looks like I'm one of the dumb-asses from the hunger games and raise it a bit more. My ring finger goes down, followed by my pointer finger. I twirl the bird in the air for good measure. "Fuck. you."
+1 reputation with the game for being entertaining.

New quest: Get to school on time, BOZO!

By the time I've finished reading the last line about enmity with killing fist type martial artists just for going to fucking school, I mean grow the fuck up, I am already jumping across the wharf that is railed off in order to reach school faster. I run past a pretty blonde who is probably Miu Furinji, but I'm not gonna rush this, I only slow down enough to wink at her with a smirk and then keep going.
'Okay' I direct mentally to the system,' don't tell me about any skill again until after school, alright. I don't wanna look too weird in front of this girl.'
Ight, I got you.
-Skill and stat updates conditionally disabled.-
+15 Reputation with Miu Furinji for being a hot guy who's just her type.
+5 reputation with Miu Furinji for being fast and having enough jumping strength to take her shortcut to school.
I quickly arrive at the gate with 3 minutes to spare, as Miu catches up to me in short order.
She doesn't seem winded at all, even though neither am I. But that's because I'm a cheating cheater who cheats at life.
Dex 16 to 17
END 14 to 15
VIT 11 to 13
"Hi! That was a good jump! I'm Miu Furinji. How about you?" She asks, not being shy at all.
I grin, and introduce myself resisting the urge to cringe at my new last name. "My name's Zack Hammers, I'm just starting here today, and yeah, I work out." I flex my arm and indeed my biceps flex very prominently. I follow that up with a smirk and a wink. Oh my god that was cringe.
She smiles and nods, while trying to hide a blush.
"Hi, Zack, It's good to meet you. I hope we have the same homeroom!" She exclaims and thank god I haven't heard a single San or Chan or Tan or Dono or what the fuck ever since I got here because that would get old real quick.
+5 reputation with Miu Furinji for being hot and showing romantic interest in her.
Holy shit did that work? Is this girl attention starved or something? Okay, don't push luck. Play it cool. I turn back to the entrance and store my shoes in the provided locker, grabbing the school-issue slippers and putting them on.
I see Miu Hesitate for a moment, and then grab my arm. "Let's go together then!" she says, cheerfully. She then looks away shyly, "If you want, that is." Instead of me pushing my luck, the sexy martial artist with glasses and a body to die for is doing it instead.
I accept of course, I'm not a moron.
"sure."
I decide to check my status and then observe her to compare us as we walk.

Alright. I get it, my observe is only level one.
It's level 2 but someone doesn't want updates. If it was level 1, it wouldn't have given you her age.
Ignoring the system we arrive at our home-room. Due to the fact I didn't fall into the river, Thank you Long jump powers- for being there for me. I got to sit next to MIu and listen to things I already know given in the context of Japan and not 'murica.
Hurray?
