31 Preparing For Exams (1)

Small and fragile hands kept slapping away at my face. I stretched out and continued yawning. I looked to my left, where Shelly sat at the counter table that was white, bulky, and smooth. She implanted her pink eyelashes and glacious eyes on her new kettle phone, thin and sharp.

I glanced at her screen -

Shelly was browsing through pictures of me sleeping. But my face was drawn to make me look like a pirate, as she had given me scars and an eyepatch.

"You awake?" She said with a wide grin, trying to make me go berserk by teabagging me with the photos.

"Delete them right now!" I said, wiping my face with one hand while trying to shake the phone out of her grasp with the other.

She moved her hand away, making her lose her balance, Making this an opportunity to grab the phone back, and I snatched her hand, taking the phone.

I immediately rush through her photos, clicking the trash button on each one. I gave her a face of disappointment. She turns her head now that her tease didn't work, and she springs herself up from the black and white tiled floor like one on a chess board.

She is a beautiful girl, but she always acts like this; Having wavy long blonde and sunny hair that reflected the sunlight, her cherry red lips were enough to seduce anybody when she came of age and had a beauty mark next to her lips.

Despite having a slim waist, she had curves on most of the lower section and a good amount in the upper parts.

I feel bad for her future boyfriend if she continues to act like this, but then again, there are a lot of guys into fixing people... After I escaped the Hazard or whatever they called, I had to deal with this smug girl who always messes up stuff by leaving crumbs or slacking off on work.

Even though we did not have many customers, thanks to us being on the muddy side of the city.

"Don't slack off and get me a towel."

"..."

I rolled my eyes and looked at her:

"What did you do?"

She pouted, looking at me.

"Why do you expect I always did something?"

I gave her that dumbass glance as I walked to the kitchen, shutting down the metal door. Clicking my tongue, I grabbed the towel from the stand next to the gold-colored fridge, holding my head as it felt like a dumpster fire.

Everything was hazy, as I couldn't remember anything from my dream.

I was a vivid dreamer, so it was always strange when I didn't remember a single detail from my dreams. But since my reincarnation, everything was getting destroyed.

I looked down at the blue text, saying I had gotten 2-more skills.

/ New Skill: Claws(New) /

The user can extend his fingernails with destructive power unless another weapon is in hand. Cooldown 10 minutes.

/New Mastery Skill: Imaginary Sword(New!!!)/

The user can manifest a cyan sword in hand, but every slash will cause the same amount of damage unless fully mastered: Progress 0.03/100

What happened in my dream? I smashed my hands next to the black and blocky coffee machine, making the iron-plated kitchen table tingle. I had gotten two skills when I was sleeping, which had never happened before as I was stuck with swift movement and high jump since I got the system.

"But finally, I had a combat skill!" I said, jumping around the kitchen. I knocked down a plate before I stopped. Causing Shelly to rush to the kitchen as I knelt to clean the plate.

"Are you doing good here?" She leaned her arm at the doorframe, looking at me with superior eyes now that I messed up.

"Any help here?"

She sighed before telling me off:

"I will do it. You got your towel, right?"

I had to give it to her; she could be helpful when she wanted to be, even though she mostly makes a mess or fails miserably, trying to tease me when she's bored.

Leaning forward to her head, I squish her cheeks and escape before she can start punching away at me.

"But sadly, it always backfires."

I take a seat at the ordering counter on the striped oak chair. Hardly holding my eyes open, I yawned as I laid my head on the marble table. I tapped my fingers on the table, my head waiting for a customer or Shelly to enter the main room.

I was not here for long since I was close to purchasing a phone. I planned on leaving soon as I set it up, as this city always reeked of rotten birds and grumpy drunk men that chased women in the streets, and the houses were little and always broken down, rotting away on the ground.

But there was a giant luxurious hotel stuck in the middle for all the poor to see, as the rich watched how they acted out of their windows. While the 'peasant' lived in a shitty college dorm, the rich were in a mansion over the school.

This city was a mess, but it was the place closest to my destination: I wanted to apply to the academy, as I needed protection, and my wanted poster with the name; Col Colep wouldn't help them find me. I wonder what kind of terrible thing they did to that family.

Thank god I gave them a fake name, or I was done for.

I learned about the academies a while back, and that's why I needed a combat power, and that's why I've been doing some grinding on the nearby birch forest. It was filled with a weird creatures: They had black eyes and a bird's beak, 6-piercing legs and a torso of a spider, and a long tail of a scorpion. Being about 2 feet, they were easy to deal with.

But they always sent shivers down my spine. Because If I ever got attacked by a squad of them, I would be gone for good.

But I had leveled up - 4 times which was extremely good!

Race: HalfDemon

hunger = 200/500

Bloodlust = 0

Strength = 15 +

Agility = 15 +

Endurance = 10 +

Exp 200/700

SP (18)

First of all, I was a little shaken seeing my bloodlust be 0, but I didn't pay any mind as I needed to decide how to distribute my stats as I could either be a tank, a glass cannon, or a speedster.

Right now, I was lacking in defense, So I should put at least 8 of my points there, but should I half the leftover points to strength and Agility, would I be able to beat anybody with that much?

I would at least need strength to be 22. I can probably gain some experience by sparing, but the experience requirement was getting worse each time. And hunting normal animals didn't give me any exp. I knew thanks to deer, not giving any.

"I should probably do this."

I distributed my stats, proud of my decision:

Strength = 23

Agility = 18

Endurance = 17

On my right appeared a new notification as a new alert appeared -

"A stat reached 20: Skill point gain will be pulled down to 1"
