Chapter 5: Parameters

'Alright let's look at my parameters first.'

{Parameters: Refers to the characteristics that make up the Body and Soul. Physical characteristics include Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, and Energy. Spiritual characteristics include Intelligence, Willpower, and Spirit.}

'That's very straightforward and understandable, so how do my parameters compare to normal humans though?'

[A normal adult human in his prime age of between 30 to 40 when cells are still slowly degenerating has an average of 5 in all physical parameters except for Energy as that is usually exclusive for Power Users.]

[The average Power User has a 10 in energy. The average for Intelligence and Willpower is also 5.]

[However, please note that the maximum a normal human who is a non-power user can ever achieve in physical parameters is 10, with there being no upper limit to how much Intelligence and Willpower a human can have. There is insufficient information to determine Spirit.]

Roman hearing this was stunned. His willpower is a little more than 5 times higher than the average human being, which is absolutely insane in his opinion, even though it makes sense. At least his constant agony contributed something for him to be happy about in the current moment.

'Can I get some information on these parameters separately?'

[Yes Sir, it's the exact same as before, focus on it like a file and you'll see the information.]

'Ok.'

{Strength: Refers to how much pressure and weight the body is capable of bearing, and exerting as well, which also includes the maximum speed the body can exert. / Note: Can currently be increased through certain repetitive movements and proper energy intake.}

{Endurance: Refers to the stamina, regeneration, functionality, and physical resistance of the body. Also determines how much stress the body can endure from other factors or stimuli. / Note: Can currently be increased through certain repetitive movements and proper energy intake.}

{Dexterity: Refers to the body's ability to perform certain complex, or impossible movements. Also determines the speed at which the body can react in certain situations. / Note: Can currently be increased through certain repetitive movements.]

{Energy: Refers to the energy used by Power Users in order to fuel their powers, and possibly enhance them. / Note: Not all uses of this energy have yet been determined. Can be increased through constant use.}

{Intelligence: Refers to the body's ability to process and store information properly, while also enhancing the speed at which one can do so. Also helps determine how to use such intelligence in the most optimal way. / Note: Can currently be increased through certain repetitive actions, and time.}

{Willpower: Refers to the strength of the mind and soul when in contact with any painful situations whether physical, mental, or spiritual. / Note: Can currently only be increased with time.}

{Spirit: Insufficient Information, no answer yet found.}

After getting a rough understanding of all his parameters, Roman quickly understood what he's dealing with.

Basically, thanks to his stationery lifestyle, his body is practically at the level of a child, while his mind has been constantly at work with all the different kinds of books he read.

Energy is brand new thanks to him recently learning of his identity as a Power User, while Willpower is self-explanatory. As for spirit, that's another hurdle he'll cross when he reaches it.

'Hey Holmes, what are these notes you added at the end?'

[Sir, these notes are the results of tests done during scanning to determine how best to help you reach the average, or limit, of your species should you desire.]

'What even made you think I would want that before I myself decided so?'

[I am connected to your soul Sir. I have a preliminary understanding of your desires even before they are manifested in the form of your thoughts or ideas, and can tell if you wish to stick with them or not.]

While that is an incredibly scary thing that most people would have a heart attack about, Roman didn't even care, and just smiled and thanked Holmes since it made things easier for him.

He has a chance to have a strong and healthy body, so of course he wouldn't be upset. If anything he's excited to see if he can improve his body as fast as possible.

'So are you capable of guiding me in exercise? Cause although I've read about it, I obviously have no practice on whether my form or anything else would be correct.'

[Although it's not one of my main functions, I am capable of many different other feats that you only need to explore Sir.]

[I can indeed formulate the best possible exercises and methods needed to get you into peak shape, while also correcting you in action when required. I can also provide guidance into any plans or ideas you create in order to help you achieve maximum efficiency.]

'This is probably better news to me than finding out I'm a Power User. I have to stay patient though and finish looking at everything in front of me. Holmes, what is the proper order in the ranking? You never mentioned it to me.'

[Sir, according to the common information provided to me that lists some Power Sets and Curses, the rankings increase in order starting from Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Mythical, Godly, and Transcendent.]

'So that means I have a Godly ability and a Godly Blessing. I would be happier if my Curse wasn't also Godly, but beggars can't be choosers.'

'Ok, let's see my ability first.'

{Ability - Random Power Generation (Godly): Every month, your ability will generate a random amount of abilities with random effects. These abilities are not permanent, and will continue to switch out every month.

Note: Although you could even have an infinite number of abilities at a time theoretically, this ability seems to behave in an erratic and conscious manner, and has a limit on how many the body can hold without disintegrating, which is currently determined to be 5.}
