Another Mission

Dexter used all his might to struggle in the grip of the monster, suddenly he opened the pathway in his body to allow his talent to flow.

[Skill unlocked: Raging thunder (E-)]

[Proficiency: 0%]

[Capabilities: a powerful lightening outburst that generate a concussion force that results to a shockwave and a powerful lightning discharge]

[Damage effect: 12%]

[Skill summons upon calling its name]

‘Perfect timing’

“Raging thunder!”

*Kaboom!*

A powerful lightning disrupted Dexter's body, exploding in an instant and a concussion force was made to shatter the arm of the golem and Dexter was set free. He fell down and landed on his feet.

“The system didn't send me here unarmed afterall” he grinned.

[MP - 5]

‘damn, my mp was ten, that means that skill drained half of my mp, then I can only use it one more time’

[Time left: 00:03:13]

‘Three minutes left, I just need to survive a little bit longer, either I keep running or I find a way to kill this thing’

Dexter then noticed the golem was regenerating his damaged arm with sand.

“Damnit, the second option isn't so bad, but this thing can regenerate. There must be some way to kill it, I just need to find it”

[Golems can only be killed by destroying their heart] the system popped up.

“A heart? How do I find it?” Dexter studied the golem carefully and saw a red glowing gem in his chest.

‘That must be it' he smiled devilishly.

The golem had finished regenerating then it hurled his arm at Dexter. Dexter hoped just in time to climb on his arm and ran on top of its solidified sandy skin.

The golem saw him running in its arm and he flung its arm forcefully and Dexter was thrown in the air.

“Ahh!” He screamed, then began to fall back with great force.

[Time left: 00:59:54]

“One minute left, I need to make the best out of this time. The system gave me two alternatives to complete this mission. Either I keep running and avoiding the monster or face it and kill it like a true hunter. And I'll choose to kill it anytime!”

Dexter controlled his fall, and straightened his legs and body horizontally so he flew straight to the chest of the golem.

Almost reaching the golem’s heart, he is readying to summon his skill.

“Raging thunder!”

He punched with his right fist and an outburst of electrified energy surged around his fist piercing straight in the golem's heart as it shattered the gem to pieces.

“Graaaagh!” The golem cried out as it finally exploded, back into a normal sand.

Dexter fell flat on the desert.

[Time left:00:00:00]

“I did it!”

“What, a new talent? How so sudden, and it seems like the formal Lightening talent wasn't my actual talent. But this new one Necromancy is. I don't know how this is even possible, but no mage can acquire more than two Talents, and I've never heard of this talent before. Let's see what it does. And it also looks like new categories have been added to the system, like the Sp.”

[Player can now return to the Core and rest for level 2 mission]

“Huh!”

That same portal appeared again and Dexter walked in returning back to the Core.

Immediately he walked in and all his health was restored.

“I feel so replenish, I guess I can now freely check out my new Talent and skills”

[Original Talent - Necromancy(D-)]

Description: Allows the user to control the energies of the dead at will, either using them for boosting their attacks or for defending purposes.

[Other information will be added as Player proceed in leveling up]

‘Hmm, so it's a power relating to the dead, just as I thought, let's check out the skills attached to it's

[Skills under the talent Necromancy]

- Skill absorbing (D-)

Description: allows the user to freely absorb the skills of the enemies killed by him.

Capabilities: able to imitate the skill absorbed from the dead enemy.

Damage effect: the damage is based on the skill absorbed from the dead enemy.

- Regeneration (D-)

Description: allows users to regenerate from injuries by simply absorbing the energies of the dead enemies.

Capabilities: Regeneration allows users to increase stamina at 5% and HP at 8 %.

Damage effect: none

Side effects: drains 30% of users MP.

“Wow, not bad, this is awesome. A Mage hunter trains for a lifetime before they could upgrade to a higher rank, and at highest, an average mage hunter could only upgrade once in their entire lifetime, the ones who were born with higher grades are fortunate, while the ones with lower grades had to train harder and most times never experience a grade upgrade. But this system is like a cheat in the hunter world, this could come in handy”

Dexter swiped the system and tapped on his item.

[Item type - Demon dagger (D-)]

[Description - a dagger crafted from the solidified blood of a demon.

[Capabilities(1) - the dagger is sharp enough to penetrate through steel if enough pressure is applied. (2)- it can penetrate through magical items also. (3) it increases the speed of the user by 3% every minute.

Damage effect: 17% damage is caused upon the enemy.

Side effect: decreases stamina at 0.3% every minute when in use.

“I can finally have a weapon on my own” Dexter then draws out the weapon from the inventory, it was a dark reddish dagger with very sharp ends.

“I wonder how much this would cause in the real world. Speaking of that, when can I return home and how long have I been here.”

Dexter became worried, he moved to and fro, then he remembered the AI voice that introduced herself as his system guardian.

“Maybe that AI can help, I wonder why it's silent now”

“Huhm, Miss AI can you come out, I need your help.”

‘hmm no voice yet’

“Miss sidekick of my system, system guardian?” Still no voice.

‘I guess I need to call her name before it would appear’

“Eos?” He called and immediately the voice responded.

“Welcome back to the core Dexter, and I applaud you for completing the level 1 mission”

“Don't applaud me, you lied to me. You said I would return back to earth if I complete the penalty task, but that didn't happen” Dexter enraged.

“I'm sorry if that's how you feel. But the system begins with a trial course with all new players, and if you weren't able to complete the penalty task or gave up, you would have returned to earth and would lose the system. But your strong will made you not to gave up despite how tired and worn out you were, making the system accept you as a player”

“Oh really? So even the kobolds that attacked my neighborhood were all caused by the system to test my will?”

“Correct”

“I can't believe how selfish this system is, it puts lives in danger just to make a stupid point. Whatever, how long have I been on earth?” Dexter asked.

“You've been here for 48 hours and compared to Earth's timeframe that's about 2 hours”

“The hell! You mean all this time I've spent here is just 2 hours on earth?” Dexter asked unbelievably.

“Correct”

[Level 2 mission commencing in 04:00:00]

[Player must rest until the time expires]

“Damnit another mission”

All of a sudden a bed appeared, it was a bed made for a single person, not very comfortable with a white bed sheet spread on top and a pillow.

“Nice”

Dexter said heading straight to the bed and hoped on it, he wasn't used to sleeping on a large and fancy bed after all, this was super comfortable to him.

Dexter tried to fall asleep but his mind kept imagining how it was and the sudden arrival of this mystery system. Could it be that he could take these new talents and skills back to earth or are they only useful in the systems missions? Could he also take his new weapon back?

So many things run down his mind.

He wondered how everyone would react when they found out he's no longer the Talentless awakener, but now a mage with two talents. If only his ex-girlfriend could see him now.
