[Would you like to see your status?]
The system suddenly asked when Aslan had returned to his own room.
"What is it? Show me."
[Name: Aslan Kendrik]
[Age: 18 years old]
[Level: 1]
[Points: 837]
[Strength: E]
[Intelligence: B]
[Appearance: A]
[Luck: C]
There were many things Aslan didn't understand. Like, since when did he have a surname at all? As an orphanage child from birth, Aslan didn't have a surname, which was normal for an orphan like him. When he grows up, or reaches the age of 20, Aslan can register a surname of his own choice. For now he couldn't, the country's regulations were like that.
However, Aslan was more curious about something else.
"Why is the level Abc? Can you explain?" Aslan asked confused.
[The highest is level S, then A, B, C, D, E and F]
[F is the lowest]
Aslan didn't know if he should be happy or sad that his strength was only level E, but at least it wasn't level F.
Aslan puts on his new uniform, then new shoes too. He was happy because he finally got a new uniform. The old uniform was a second-hand one from his older brother, a child of the orphanage, who was no longer wearing it. The government gave him a new uniform, but it was sold by the cruel orphanage owner.
For some reason, wearing a new uniform and a new bag and shoes made Aslan feel more energized.
In front of the boarding house, Aslan saw Johnny pass by to greet him. He asked Aslan if he was feeling better, so Aslan said he was fine. Aslan also thanked Johnny for being so kind and giving him a temporary place to stay.
Walking to school was something Aslan used to do, even though the orphanage was quite far away. Now the distance from the orphanage to the school was very close, only about a ten-minute walk.
Devon and David, his dorm mates, pass by on their bikes, greet Aslan briefly and then pedal off again.
The kids in the dorm now knew Aslan and thought he was kind for cooking for them.
At the end of the road, Aslan saw some thugs sitting as if waiting for something. Aslan recognized them as the orphanage owner's men, of course Aslan didn't want to meet them. They could be waiting for Aslan right now.
So Aslan racked his brain, remembering that there was a secret way to his school. It was a road used by wayward children to skip school. Like it or not, Aslan would use that road.
Stealthily, he made his way to the secret passage, clearing the bushes and finding a large hole in the wall. He entered the hole and came to the neglected back garden of the school.
Aslan breathed a sigh of relief, before seconds later discovering the school's troubling gang of thugs.
It was the group of Kyle, the son of a rich, powerful businessman. He had a big, muscular body that made everyone afraid of him, and thanks to his father's fortune, he was quite powerful.
Aslan was repeatedly bullied by Kyle and his friends, usually the only one who could help was Devon. There was no way Aslan could always rely on Devon to help him, Devon couldn't possibly know that Aslan was in trouble right now.
[Avoiding the problem is not good]
[Master must fight the bully]
What? Against Kyle and his friends? That seemed impossible for the cowardly Aslan.
[New mission! Fight Kyle and the others. 500 system points reward]
[If you fail there will be painful punishment]
Punishment? That sounded more painful than getting beaten up by Alonso's men, especially since Aslan didn't know what punishment the system meant.
However, how could Aslan fight them?
"Are you looking around!" Kyle shouted, visibly disturbed by Aslan's presence.
Seeing Kyle's creepy face, Aslan's spirit faded again, he was such a coward.
Might as well run away.
"No, sorry, I have to go."
Aslan hurriedly left, but Kyle's men pulled his bag.
"Hey, where are you going? I see your bag and shoes are new, huh? You have a lot of money apparently, if you can give 100 dollars now, then I'll let you go."
"There's no way that poor guy has that much money."
"100 dollars is his one-month food allowance!"
They made fun of Aslan, but Aslan couldn't argue, because he was. Even 100 dollars for one month of food was too much for him.
Although that's changed now.
After making up his mind, Aslan took a deep breath to calm himself down. Once he was calmer, he slapped away the hand holding his backpack.
"Let go!"
"Why, you can't accept being called poor? It's the truth!" Kyle said, to which the others laughed.
"At least I'm smarter than you!" Aslan said.
They stopped laughing for a moment, before laughing even harder.
'Can't the system help me in this situation? I can't beat them up because I'm so much weaker' Aslan muttered to himself.
[You can buy a low-level fighting skill for 100 points!]
[But considering your body is still weak, you will experience pain from forcing your muscles]
'No problem, as long as I can fight them, just spend the 100 points!
[Yes, sir!]
[100 system points are used to purchase low-level fighting skills]
Fortunately there was a solution, even if it was an instant one.
Kyle approached Aslan and put his arm around his shoulders, "You said you were smarter than us? That's right, because of that, you should always be ready to do our tasks, otherwise I'll hit you!"
Aslan could see the movement of Kyle's hand that wasn't embracing him was coming to punch him in the stomach. Thanks to fighting skills, he could see it all in slow motion, so he was able to block Kyle's hand, twist it and then push him into one of his men.
They were surprised that Aslan could fight back this time. Finally, they came forward one by one to beat Aslan, but still Aslan was able to fight them off and twisted their arms, some of them got kicked by Aslan.
[Master successfully fought Kyle and his friends!]
[Reward of 500 points successfully obtained and entered the system account]
Aslan smiled widely at the notification from the system screen. "Watch out, Aslan!"
Aslan hurriedly ran away from Kyle and his friends.
"From now on, I'll try to strengthen my body, so I won't be weak and can fight even better - ouch!"
In the end, Aslan felt his muscles start to hurt because he was pushing himself. It was okay, he could bear the pain. After all, he'd been beaten up a lot in the orphanage, Kyle had beaten him up too, so the pain was nothing new.
However, the muscle pain made Aslan lethargic during the lesson, to the point where he couldn't concentrate.
[Master is so weak!]
Aslan chuckled at the comment from the system. He knew he was weak, there was no need to clarify, right?
It was time for break, so Aslan went to the library so no one would bother him. Aslan could also eat the lunch he prepared himself in peace.
"I know, it goes without saying!"
[Master can try to buy a muscle building class for beginners]
"What is it?"
[Later you will get a learning video, you can learn it and it will not fail]
[Because the system provides the best teacher]
"That's interesting, I'll try to buy it"
[It costs 100 system points for the entire learning video.]
[You must learn from the lower level to the upper level, no skipping, because each level is very important]
"Okay okay, I understand."
After school, Aslan decided to look for Devon. Even though Kyle wasn't looking for him anymore as usual, Aslan wasn't strong enough, so he was still afraid to go home alone. Fortunately Devon was kind, he said he would accompany Aslan as long as he cooked dinner.The condition is not difficult, Aslan likes to cook. So Aslan, David, Devon and Jaden went to the supermarket to look for ingredients. Jaden was the son of his neighbor John. Jaden's house was big and luxurious, even so Jaden was very friendly and often came to the dormitory to play with Devon and David.After shopping, they returned to the dormitory. But their path was blocked by thugs sent by the owner of the orphanage.Aslan's chest was pounding with fear."What do you want?" Devon asked, complete with a scary look."None of your business, that boy is our business!" One of the thugs pointed at Aslan."Oh, Aslan? He's my friend, if you have business with him, then you have business with me!" Devon was so scary, some of the
They went to the cotton road using Jaden's car. Jaden himself had already gotten his driver's license, because he was 18 years old, had a car, and a garage too. All three were required for a driver's license. Because Batavia is a crowded city, the government decided to reduce the number of vehicles so that there would be less traffic, with the additional requirement of having a garage for car or motorcycle drivers. Because residents often complained about car or motorcycle owners who parked their vehicles in front of their houses carelessly even though it was a public street. Especially in housing complexes that do not have land to park cars. Even though there is already a daycare center for cars that costs a small fee. Aslan didn't really understand, but rich people like Jaden had no barrier to owning a private vehicle. It took them an hour to reach the cotton road, because besides the traffic jam, the place was quite far from the dormitory. But if using a bicycle, it wouldn't tak
"Aslan, I thought you were going to pick out a few pieces of clothing, pick the ones you like, not buy them all," Devon whispered, he was worried too, because he himself was carrying a small amount of money. The cashier, who knew Aslan's friends looked worried, grinned even more. "Better think first before you are embarrassed because you can't pay, I often meet people like you, the style alone pretends to be able to buy a store, but it turns out there are only one hundred dollars in his pocket, it's embarrassing," said the beautiful cashier. Aslan sighed tiredly, "I told you I'd buy everything, you don't have to worry." Aslan took out his debit card, but the cashier laughed at him even more, because Aslan's debit card belonged to a minor, there was a cute lion picture too. Aslan didn't have time to change the card. "You haven't upgraded your card yet, man?" Jaden whispered. Aslan shook his head slowly, "I had no time." "Hey, if you're just a student like this, there can't be much
"Hey kid!" The familiar voice sent a chill down Aslan's spine, and sure enough, the new owner of the orphanage was waiting for him. Aslan hadn't thought anything of it before when a teacher said someone was looking for him, waiting in the lobby. Aslan's school had a kind of lobby to receive guests. At first, Aslan thought it was just the Messenger of the governor, who usually came to give books. The Messenger of the governor was very active in providing new quality books every month, which Aslan was very happy about, because he loved reading books. But seeing the harsh reality he received made him break out in a cold sweat. Why did that person come to the school at all? There was even a principal there. What was going on? "Have a seat, Aslan!" The principal said, smiling his usual friendly smile, as did the owner of the orphanage, Alonso by name. Alonso's friendly smile only gave Aslan goosebumps, it was terrifying. "I'm just here to see how you're doing, Aslan said he's grown
Aslan was wrong, Debby became more moody at the bookstore. The girl even bumped into someone because she wasn't focused. "I'm sorry," Debby said. "You use your eyes when you walk! Not only you already fat, you don't have eyes too!" The woman who Debby hit looked very angry, and her friend looked at Debby with an annoyed look too. Even though no one was injured from the incident, no items fell either, just a small nudge. "I apologize," Debby said again, like she was going to cry. So, Aslan left the book he wanted to look at, then approached Debby. "She apologized, why are you still angry?" Asked Aslan, he pulled Debby behind his body. "Are you her boyfriend? Tell your girlfriend not to stand carelessly, her body is big like a bulldozer, ignorance has its limits!" Said the friend of the woman who was hit by Debby. Both women looked like college students, they looked fashionable and wore the cheapest branded goods. The one Debby hit was a blonde, while her friend was a brunette. T
After two days, Aslan had to swallow his disappointment when he found out that Debby was still absent from school.During those two days, Aslan exercised regularly to increase his body strength. There was Devon who was happy to help him. Devon was very strong, he taught Aslan to fight, always accompanied Aslan to exercise in the morning too.In addition, Aslan had also discussed with Devon and David, what business they would do. Since David's uncle owned a chicken farm, and one of David's uncle's regular restaurants was going bankrupt, they decided to open a cafe with chicken as the main menu.Aslan did it all for his own future and to build his own strength. It's useless to have a system if you don't use it. Aslan had to open his own business. If it fails, he can start again from the beginning, because he has a lot of capital.Aslan also tries to buy shares in new companies that he thinks will improve rapidly in the future.For daily check-in, for two days Aslan was rewarded with a s
"Is that security guard really going to get fired?" That was the question Aslan asked as soon as he arrived at the Harland family mansion.The house was one of the most luxurious among the others. The view of the beach from the top floor was also very beautiful. White sand, coconut trees, beach waves, and the evening sky.Aslan was invited to sit in a room on the second floor, you could say it was a place close to the balcony, and the balcony itself was open. From where he sat, Aslan could see the beach. There were many sofas and chairs there, and a big screen television like a movie theater. Aslan tried hard not to look like a dork in that house.Debby always said she didn't deserve him, but when he arrived at Debby's house, it was Aslan who felt inadequate. Aslan's wealth was still nothing compared to the Harland family."Don't worry, he'll be fired, we don't like unprofessional people like that, let him be our business, you can drink the tea first, I'l
Aslan and Debby were more awkward than ever, that's because Debby's mom, Hannah, came over and asked why the two teenagers' faces were red.Aslan was at a loss for an answer, luckily the courier who had brought the apples for Debby had arrived. So Aslan and Hannah went down to check on the apples, while Debby showered and got ready."Are all these apples for Debby?" Hannah asked."Yeah, let Debby eat these apples at breakfast or when she wants a snack. They'll help her get fuller, they're also more nutritious than other fruits. You can also try it if you're curious."Hannah was intrigued by the apple, as its color was rather unique. It was pink with a reddish tinge, it was also bigger than a normal apple, and it gave off a tantalizing aroma."I'll try one.""Go ahead."Hannah took one apple and put the other away. After washing it, she cut the apple and ate it. Aslan watched, afraid that Hannah wouldn't like it, because according to Aslan, who had tried it first, it was sweeter and ju
