"Are there any quests I should complete right now?" He couldn’t wait to level up and unlock new abilities. He knew that by completing quests, he would gain experience and resources that would aid him on his journey to becoming the strongest. With each quest, he grew closer to his goal and became more excited about the challenges that lay ahead.
EXP he had was too little. He only got 100 EXP and needed 2000 EXP to level up to Ordinary Level 1. He had a long way to go and needed to find more quests to complete in order to gain the necessary experience. He was determined to put in the effort and dedication required to reach his goal, knowing that each quest he completed would bring him one step closer to becoming the strongest.
[Currently, no quests are available.]
That firm reply from the system made him feel a twinge of disappointment, but he refused to let it deter him. He still had much time; the system had just been installed a few moments ago, and he was determined to make the most of it.
Noticing that Nathan was slightly disappointed, the system quickly notified him.
Ding!
[You have welcome bonuses: the 20x EXP booster and the 20x EP booster!]
Nathan's eyes widened in surprise as he read the notification. With the 20x EXP booster, his 100 EXP would now be equivalent to a whopping 2000 points, exactly what he needed to level up. The 20x EP booster was going to give him 100 EPs, which would enable him to get some useful items. These unexpected bonuses were a pleasant surprise for Nathan, who now felt motivated. He couldn't wait to see how much progress he could make with these additional advantages.
"Ohh! so those things can work?" Nathan delightedly asked as he noticed the bonus's notification, which he initially didn't pay attention to for reasons he also didn't know.
[Sir, they work. They're your welcome bonuses; you'll get EXP and EP boosters from time to time, but they won't be as large as those ones.]
Not wasting time, Nathan quickly used the EXP booster and immediately felt a surge of energy as his experience points skyrocketed. He got 2000 EXP and leveled up to Ordinary Level 1. He was extremely delighted.
He couldn't wait to put his newfound energy to use and see what amazing feats he could accomplish. He quickly opened his profile once again. Everything was done by just commanding the system with his mind.

Even though his strength was still too little in this world, a punch exerting 10kg would have been terrifying in his previous world. Besides, he knew this was just the beginning of the journey.
Nathan was determined to train hard and improve his strength level, pushing himself to reach new heights. He understood that in this world, where danger lurked at every corner, he needed to constantly evolve and become a formidable force to survive.
"In this world, I got to turn things. In my previous life, I was weak, inferior, poor, ordinary, constantly underestimated, and someone who could not be heard or seen. But now in this new world, I have the opportunity to change my fate and become someone powerful, respected, superior, extraordinary, influential, and capable of making a difference." He muttered to himself with the utmost confidence and determination. "I'll become the strongest!"
He then activated the EP booster and got 100 EP.
"Alright, another question, please?" He eagerly exclaimed, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
[You can ask, sir.]
"What is that system scrutinization skill?"
That was the only skill he had. How could he not want to learn more about it?
[That is a system’s skill that enables you to inspect and evaluate different organisms, including humans and monsters. At the current level, it can only detect a few of their personal characteristics, such as age, strength, defense shield strength, and health points, among others.]
"pheww!" He sighed with a wry smile. "At least I got something useful."
'I should find something to eat.' He wandered his eyes before returning to the kitchen. He wandered in the kitchen for a few minutes and found no food. Actually, the beasts had finished all their food. He sighed again, realizing that he would have to venture out and scavenge for food.
As he prepared to leave, he jumped to his feet when he realized something. He could just consume the beast he had slain.
He hesitated for a moment, conflicted by the idea of eating the creature he had killed. However, his growling stomach reminded him of the harsh reality of survival. With a determined look on his face, he decided to make use of every resource available to him in order to stay alive. Anyway, it was better to eat a dog instead of starving to death.
He made up his mind and returned to where the corpse of the beast was.
He was surprised to find that there was no trace of it.
'Was it still alive, or has someone picked it up?' He then noticed that there was blood on the floor all the way to the entrance and realized that the beast had been picked up by someone else.
Curiosity piqued, and he followed the trail of blood, hoping it would lead him to the person who had taken the beast. As he ventured further, he couldn't help but wonder if this mysterious friend could provide him with more than just a meal.
Following the blood, he left the restaurant. If he found a companion, things might be much better than being alone in this desolate world. The thought of having someone to share the struggles and joys with ignited a glimmer of hope within him, pushing him to continue his pursuit. As he followed the trail, he couldn't shake off the anticipation of what awaited him at the end—a potential ally or perhaps even a newfound family.
At that moment, he heard a horrifying howl. He immediately stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes, only to see a big wolf-like creature a few steps in front of him. The beast was devouring the dog-hooven beast, and it was five times bigger than the dog-hooven beast. If he were a normal person with normal vision, he would have already noticed it the moment he got out of the restaurant. The beast howled as it glared at him. Its piercing eyes seemed to hold a mix of hunger and aggression, making it clear that the creature saw him as its next meal. The man's heart raced as he weighed his options, realizing that his survival now depended on either outsmarting or overpowering this formidable adversary.Ding![Scrutinizing the target...Please wait.][Target scrutinized!Target Details:Name: Giant WolfRace: BeastAge: N/AStrength: 50kg+Strength Level: Ordinary Level 5Defense Shield: 10kg\10kg+Health Points: 250/250]He widened his eyes as he stared at the screen in his mind.

"Thank you for your concern," Nathan said, offering a reassuring smile. "I'm just lost in thought for a moment. I appreciate your suggestion, but I assure you, I'm perfectly fine.""How sure are you that you're fine?" the woman asked, her eyebrows furrowing with concern. "It's always better to be safe than sorry, especially when it comes to our health."Nathan couldn't help but notice how caring she was, especially considering that they were completely strangers. He took a moment to gather his thoughts before responding, "I understand your concern, and I truly appreciate it. However, I've been dealing with th
"Do you have any queries?"Captain Aginy suddenly asked while shooting a glance at him. Her face was devoid of expression."I don't have any questions so far."Nathan replied with a shrug while scanning the room with his eyes. The room was sparsely furnished, with only a mattress, a small desk, and a single chair. Nathan's gaze lingered on the plain walls, lacking any personal touches or decorations."Don't worry, once you become a student warrior, you'll have a better place." Samantha uttered it upon seeing Nathan's dissatisfaction with the place. "The military academy's entrance competition will occur in five days. You've got to train hard."In this world, your strength determines your fate. The weak were considered useless and were often overlooked or taken advantage of. The strong received the best services, while the weak received the worst or none at all.Nathan had already gotten to know what kind of world this was, and regardless of his disability, he had decided to do as much
"Because you’re behind your friends. I’ll give you a free access to training space" According to what he learnt from old Nathan memories, one had to pay a decent amount to use a training space. Free training were available to military and gifted students only.He wasn’t one, and he had to pay a decent sum to access a training space. Giving him free access to a training space was a huge favor."You’re too kind, Captain." Nathan felt that the young woman was being too generous to him. He couldn't help but feel grateful for her kindness, as it was rare for someone to offer free access to a training space, especially to someone like him who wasn't part of the military or a gifted student. Nathan wondered what had prompted her to be so generous toward him. "There’s no problem. May I know which level you are?" Training spaces were virtual worlds where one would confront illusory monsters, mostly gouses of preferred levels.This was critical because people were able to put their fears to th
Ding! [Opponents detected!] Ding! [Quest Received! Quests Details Quest: Conquer the opponents! Reward: 30 EP and 600 EXP Time limit: Limitless! Penalty For Failure: Getting Killed by the Opponents!] His heart raced as the notifications appeared on his screen. The realization that failure meant death only heightened his fear, making the situation feel even more intense and dangerous. His first quest wasn't as interesting as he thought it would be, but rather terrifying and life-threatening. The thought of facing opponents who were just as skilled and determined as him sent shivers down his spine. He knew that in order to survive, he would have to give it his all and strategize every move carefully. Instinctively, he reached for his weapon, ready to defend himself against the onslaught of attackers. Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! A shot for each of the monsters changed the situation. The monsters were down, and the immediate threat was eliminated. There were all ordinary
He killed two more ordinary level 2 gouses and earned an additional 22 EP and 440 EXP. The fight was tough given that he had to rely on ordinary level 1 strength to defeat two ordinary level 2 gouses. He got injured, and his HP dropped. After the fight, his total EXP was 4390, and he leveled up to ordinary level 2. He then required 1810 EXP to level up to the next level, which was ordinary level 2. He had a total of 219.5 EP, still not enough to purchase the desired 10-minute 10x BSD, which was the highest. He found a thick bush nearby and decided to take a moment to rest and recover. The night found him there under the cover of darkness, providing a sense of safety and allowing him to heal without interruption. However, he occasionally heard sounds of monsters lurking. The next morning, he woke up feeling refreshed and ready to continue his journey. He knew he had to be cautious as he ventured further, aware that stronger enemies could be waiting for him. Despite the risks, he was
"What should I do now?" He whispered to himself. After ruminating for a few minutes, he made up his mind and stood up. He decided to practice basic combat skills before involving himself in a fight again. Although he was much stronger than before and could easily defeat any monster in the set-up, he knew that combat knowledge was very important in a warrior's adventure. It would help him deal with stronger opponents in real life. After all, in real life, there was no way to choose an opponent's level of strength or predict their tactics. Therefore, the warrior understood the necessity of constantly improving his combat skills to adapt to any situation and emerge victorious. By honing his techniques and reflexes, he would be able to face any adversary with confidence and overcome even the most formidable opponents. He took the skill book from his pockets. Flipping over the pages, he stopped on the book's content page. Firstly, he had to practice attacking skills such as strikes, kic
"My bad!" He muttered to himself while turning around. Indeed, a gous was there, staring at him with its piercing eyes. It seemed curious yet cautious, as if deciding whether he posed a threat. Like him, the lower half of its body was submerged while the upper half was not. Nathan hastily scrutinized it before it made any moves. He could feel that his fears had decreased by a leap. [Scrutinizing the target... Please wait.] Target Scrutinized! Target Details: Name: Gous Race: Alien Age: N/A Strength: 20kg+ Strength Level: Ordinary Level 2 Defense Shield: 6kg\6kg+ Health Points: 100/100] Without wasting time, the gous threw a punch. Nathan only saw a blurry figure, and it took him some time to realize that the blurry figure was a fist coming towards him at an incredible speed. Thus, it successfully landed on his face. Without using the system, he knew his HP had been subtracted by 14. The gous punch contained about 20 kg of energy, and his defense shield was 6kg, so less t
Ha-ha!Ha-ha-ha!With his face still facing down, he glared at the teacher for just a moment."Go to the Executive and grab your present!" Another student shouted."Perhaps he is going to become favored like Alien, the genius who taught him some manners the other day." Another person added.
DUAL SYSTEMS OF GOD WARRIOR
Even though he seemed to be very far from achieving his goals, as he was still inferior, not superior, poor, not rich, ordinary, not extraordinary, and weak, not strong, his determination and willpower remained intact and even got stronger. He refused to let his current circumstances define him and instead used them as fuel to propel himself towards his desired life. With each setback, he became more resilient and unwavering in his pursuit of greatness. He knew that true success required patience, perseverance, and an unwavering belief in oneself."Mister, are we together?" McCaugh asked when he noticed that Nathan had sunk in thoughts. Following McCaugh’s line of sight, the whole class glared at Nathan with a mix of curiosity and concern.<
"How can you do that terrible thing? Juan has a bad reputation when it comes to women. He’s a pervert who enjoys toying with little, petite, and precious girls like you." Nathan's voice was very weak and sorrowful. Juan, the strongest junior student in the Head Red Zone, was rumored to be lecherous and lustful. He enjoyed testing newly ripened sweet fruits like Camille, and then he would dump them for the newest, if available. Nathan had just found out that Juan was enemies with Elida Elliot and Amy Yu for the same reason. He toyed with them and then dumped them when they were D-juniors, while he was only a C-junior who had just advanced a few months ago.
Upon hearing these words Nathan couldn’t hide the stupefied expression on his face. He initially thought the young man was the person who had been in the training space but that wasn’t the case. The young man was someone looking for a training space just like Nathan.He came across an unoccupied training space where Nathan had been waiting for. But Nathan was in deep slumber and didn’t notice the person inside the training space had gotten out.The young man could have occupied it but when he saw Nathan and recognized him, he couldn’t be being touched. He empathized Nathan and chose to let him get it instead.
‘I’m too weak. I can be bullied, and have no right to retaliate. I have to pretend that I don’t feel the pain and got strong." Nathan made up his mind and decided to focus on training hard and become strong.He decided to be a coward and pretend that he didn’t feel the pain. Only when he would become strong it’s when he would be able to do what he wished."I’ll call this operation ‘avoid troubles and get strong’" Nathan mumbled and then stood up. He went out of the apartment.At that moment, Henry was coming out of the washing room when he saw Nathan and got worried. He thought Nathan was up for some m
At the moment, Nathan has $0.00 in his Dot wallet."The training spaces are free, and any student has the right to use them. Why should I pay?" Nathan decided to argue. He clearly knew the practice, but he just wanted to understand what the seizers thought and how they could explain it."Are you too novice that you don’t know how things work here?" Asked Amy Yu indifferently, her hands neatly folded across her chest. Big sword hanging at her back.
Those who could afford it evacuated to the four fortified countries.People lived in peace inside the four fortified countries, and everything outside the walls was forgotten. Sometimes, troops from the fortified countries would go out and search for more survivors. If found, they would bring them to the fortified countries.The four countries were no longer called countries but cities because they consisted of mixed races. Each city got named, respectively, according to where it was located on the map. Westward, eastward, southward, and northward.Continents were no longer recognized, and everyone forgot the fact that the four cities were located on four different continents separate
The young man smirked, unimpressed by Nathan's threat. "Oh really? I'd love to see what you can teach me," he retorted, crossing his arms defiantly. The tension in the room grew as everyone anticipated the clash between the two.Nathan got increasingly annoyed at the young man. He said in a low, menacing voice, "Alright, I'll fulfill your wish then." The class held their breath, unsure of what would happen next."Ha-ha, I’m I not the one who is going to teach my teacher that he’s the weakest here?" said the young man smiling mockingly. "You’re incomparably weak, those 14 and 15’s are much better
"The one with... the brunette." He almost bit himself as he struggled to find the right words to describe her."No matter which one exactly you are talking about, that’s Elida Elliot and Amy Yu, some of the most beautiful girls among juniors, but also..." He stopped for a moment and spoke slowly in a clear tone. "The most powerful and strongest. They are both at Extraordinary level 1."Elida and Amy possess not only physical beauty but also exceptional abilities that set them apart from their peers. It was rumored that they had mastered various forms of combat and possessed extraordinary p
