The next day Flint wakes up energetic, he goes to check on Licia and sees her as chirpy as ever.
“I can get satisfied just from seeing my sunshine. All the world's hunger can be cure from seeing her.”“Good, then I’ll leave your lunch home today.” Flint is shocked to see his elder sister, Aku behind him also spying on Licia.“Wait! Not lunch!”“Hahaha, here you go Filly.” She drops the lunch on his head, not the food but in a container. Flint catches it and gave his sister a kiss on the cheek.“You’re the best!” he says running out to meet his father to head to the farm and Aku replies as he leaves, “I know.” Aku got back to work around the house.Flint and his father reached the farm like any other day and worked from morning till noon then they rested. He finally spoke to his father.“Dad, I’d like to spend some time with Twenny.”“Oh, we’re done with work so you can go, I’ll handle watering the plant. Just ask her on a date and I’ll let you off tomorrow too.” He smiles.“Ehehehe, I’ll think about it. Thanks Dad.” He got up and left, leaving his Dad in the hut.“So sad he can’t appreciate the diamond before him and is chasing polished iron. Youth *Sighs*”Flint left the farm and walks back to the village, on his way he wondered how he’ll ask her to take him to her cave. System DC said he shouldn’t draw too much attention because he is weak so he has to be subtle.He practices his lines, “Hello Twenny, would you mind showing me you cave?....No, Twenny I’m curious about the cave you use to live in, can you show me there?..... No, how about- “He kept on practicing with gestures, Twenny is watching him through System DC since she’s sort of like his handler. She’s in her house on her bed watching.“So sad. I’ll just meet him outside and tell him I’m going to the cave.” She leaves her house and meets Flint just as he is about to enter the village.“Oh, Mysterious Girl, where’re you off to?” he stands before her but didn't know how to ask.“I’m off to the cave, wanna tag along, Farm Boy?” She suggested as she walks.“Huh...uh….ye….I mean sure.” And with that they leaves together towards the cave, the cave is to the east from the village. It takes them about an hour to reach the place. Flint tries to make small talks about city life since he thinks Twenny is from a city. She responds every question of his with an answer, but Flint thinks are lies. Afterall humans can’t travel from 1 country to another in mere hours. And there's no such thing as carriages without horses.They arrive at the cave, it’s more like a house than cave. There’re a great amount of EP crystallized herbs that Twenny is considering making his next mission. They enter the cave, it isn’t that bad, there were bones, a curtain and bed of leaves. But it’s habitable, it’s a good thing Flint didn’t recognize the bones inside as dragon bones.“You hunted a lot.” he pointed to the bones.“Well, I have to eat." But in her mind, "Not really, the dragon refused to share the cave." and she continues, "I came for to take this." She puts her hand under the bed as a book appears in her hand not from the bed. "I forgot this.”“Wooaaahh, a magic tome.” he has starry eyes again.“You’re too easily impressed.” she raises a brow as she turns to him.“Hey, I live in a village.” he shrugged.“Wanna read it?” she offers it to him.“Maybe later, I’d like to rest a bit.” He can't read.“Alright, I’ll wait outside.” She knows exactly what is going on so she leaves him alone in the cave but she is watching on her own screen.Flint goes to a corner beside the dragon bones to avoid spies. The dragon bones had skill orbs remaining in the soil, 3 in total since Twenny had no use for them and kept them there for fun.[INFORMATIOM MAGIC DISPLAY LEVEL 6MISSION 1#: Befriend Twenny and let her take you to her cave. COMPLETE.REWARD: Start Leveling up.NOTICE: Your body will start to draw in EP soon, it's recommended you sit down for this.END]“Okay.” He goes to the bones since he thinks it’s a comfortable place to sit. As he sits down, he feels a warm tingle in himself as the color of his eyes has a silver glow.In his soul space, the cube with many dimensions is floating in the dark space. A miniature Flint is below it though that Flint didn’t move. Lightening flickers of the cube and touches miniature Flint. The EP/Energy/Mana around him starts to gather into his body. The cells in his body when zoomed in as you could see the EP crystals entering each cell in his body.EP crystals is the same as EXPAfter 5 minutes there is a change, as the 3 skill orbs of the dragon turns into lights and are absorbed into his body. He didn’t know until finally a screen is projected before him.[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAY LEVEL 6Name: Flint BarimahRace: HumanTitle: SSTM DC WielderLevel: 1Stats:-HP (Health Points): 20- EP (Energy Points): 0- SP (Stamina Points): 10- SoP(Soul Points): 5Physical Stats:- Strength: 2- Endurance:3- Agility: 5- Intelligence: 0- Wisdom: 1Skills:Information Magic (Level: 6 Bonus skill) >- Appraisal: See the worth of the target- Analysis: See the fundamental construction of the target.- Battle Instinct: Grants battle senses that improves combat efficiency.Physical Enhancements (Level: 1) >- Boost (Endurance): Increase Endurance by 50% .

He keeps trying to touch the screen."This is your status. You can see it every time you think about yourself if you wish to see it. This shows your strength and capabilities.”“I seem weak, why is my intelligence 0. Does it mean I’m not smart?” he gets teary.“No, I’ve listed what each physical stats represent, do well to read it all.” Flint reads them.Flint stares as his status as he asks, “……Oh okay. So what now.”Another screen appeared before Flint,[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAY LEVEL 6MISSION 2#: Devour EP crystal herbs.MISSION 3#: Get Twenny to teach you Runes/MagicREWARDS: Level up, Skill upgrade.END]Outside the cave, Twenny is watching Flint through her screen. She sat on a rock and was staring at the sky. That's what a normal person would think when they see her.“I know I’m the only Xeno in this universe but I’m starting to feel like a tutor rather than a Calamity. Well there’s no one here who can teach him so I guess Arrmitsha made the right choice.” She is waiting as she sees Flint get up.Inside the cave, Flint got to his feet a little too quickly.“Wooaahh, was I always this light? I guess the level up thing did that. I should ask Twenny to give me lessons and about the Crystal herbs. System DC didn’t say anything about it.” He leaves the cave and sees Twenny watching the sky, he tries the appraisal on her since he kinda knew what it does. Twenny looks at him from the corner of his eyes, she gets up and walks to him.“Be careful when you use that, some people can tell. It’s also rude..…Hey, you learned magic. Awesome!" She jumps in excitement. "I didn’t know sitting in a cav
Far, far, far away. On a barren land with scorching heat. A war is happening, the holy war. The war between the divine realm and the under realm. Gods and Devils.The sky is colored red like blood. Smoke could be seen rising on the battlefield that is thousands of kilometers wide. Divine soldier and gods were battling devils and demons. Soldiers included Valkyries made of women. Divine guards made of only men and holy knights mixed. The demon army is made of beasts, it’s hard to tell them apart so some are beasts, others humanoid and most in between. High in the sky a battle was ensuing.NOTICE: PERSPECTIVE SWITCH TO VALKYRIE CAPTAIN (LEVEL: 76) “Arrrgghhh!” Captain swings her sword down as she slices a demon in 2. She turns uses her shield to attack a demon behind her, she’s surrounded. She glows with a bright light as the demons take damage from it. She flies forward into a squad of demons using ranged attacks. They throw lightening and fireballs at her as she evades every one of
Twenny has breakfast, chocolate and bread. She wash up and readies herself, she steps outside to see Flint waiting for her. He has a broad smile as he stares at Twenny and she stares back.Twenny clears her throat, “Ahem….Aren’t you supposed to say something?”“Ah, You look beautiful today.” Flint smiles again, then.*BANG* Twenny use a stick to hit him. Flint holds his head as if he’s been wronged, Twenny walks past him and turns to him. “You’re supposed to say ‘Good morning teacher’.” Flint is surprised, “Eh?” Twenny grips the stick as Flint shivers, “G..Good morning teacher!” he bows. Twenny smiles, “Very good. Follow.”Twenny leads Flint out of the village to a plain just on the other side of the village. Flint gets curious and asks, “So, what are you going to teach me?”“Hmph, it’s a surprise.” In Twenny’s head, “I have no idea….. Well, I guess I can teach him energy sense.” They arrive at the center of the plain and she points to the ground as Flint sits. Twenny opens her arms
Flint arrives early evening and sees his parents on the veranda having a moment.“Ahem” his parents are startled as they try to act natural.John breaks the awkward moment. “Didn’t know you returned.” He sits straight. Patricia smiles, “How was your lesson dear?” She gets her seat on a chair this time.Flint stares at them and looks away, “It was great. Though I’m yet to make progress.” He goes to the house. John walks to him and pats his back, “Don’t worry son. The first time is always the hardest.” Flint nods and enters the house, he meets Aku sitting on the couch asleep. Flint smiles and heads to the kitchen, he sees 2 bowls on the table and Licia sitting on a chair also sleeping. “She slept trying to wait for me. She hasn’t finished her food, so cute.” He walks up to the Licia and gently woke her up. “I’m home Li.”Licia rubs her eyes, “Welcome home big brother. *Yawns* Dinner is ready.” She looks over at the table. Flint takes a seat beside her, “Were you waiting for me so we eat
Twenny dresses up as she looks at a screen, no one else can see. She chooses an orange dress with a ribbon tying her hair and stuffed animal.“So, I repeat the series of moves to execute Martial Arts Techniques. Techniques are different from skill. Skills use EP techniques use SP. I’ll wing it.” She steps out of her house to see the 2 doing as told. Aku couldn’t hide her smile as Flint gets on his feet, she signals them to follow as she leads them back to the grass plains.The 2 stands before her as she begins teaching holding a stick and a board.“The basics of combat have 3 forms, offense, defense and both. Offense is to deal damage to your opponent.” She strikes the stick forward like a sword. “Defense is to block damage but it can’t be prevented.” She holds her shield up and lowers her center of gravity pretending to block an attack. “Damage can’t be prevented when an attack lands, even if it deals 0 damage it still affects you.” She pokes Flint with a stick. “Not painful but you f
It’s late afternoon at The Barimah’s house, Aku enters followed by Flint both looking exhausted, tired and dirty, covered in brown stuff. Each has a stick strapped to their side, and a leaf shield or just a big leaf on their back. Licia met them at the door, she looks up to them uttering the only words, “You Stink!” the words stab the 2 like knives as they stumble, Licia runs away covering her nose.Flint tries to explain, “Li! Wait, its training!” tears threaten to fall but he holds it in, he turns to look at Aku.Tears flow from Aku’s eyes as she forces not to let them, “2 weeks, 2 weeks that spoiled brat used us like toys. First, it’s 100 swings, 500, 1000, then we fought monsters WITH A STICK! THEN A SHIT BATH!” She throws her sword onto the floor. “THAT DEMON’S TRYING TO KILL US!!!” She yells as a red aura surrounds her but she doesn’t notice it. Flint gives a wry smile as his thoughts, “True making us fight monsters with these things is madness.” He remembers a scene where Aku’s
At the Barimah’s house, the first ray of light touched Flint’s forehead and he woke up. He sits up stares at the table on his opposite, a screen appears before him. He takes a deep breath, “System. I want power and wealth. I want to surpass any and every noble.” Silence.[INFORMATION MAGIC DISPLAY LEVEL: 6……….DC: Power can be granted, but you must be worthy. Wealth can be gathered but it will be useless with the power to gain. You have to choose one, Wealth or Power?Flint: What is this power you speak of?DC: Power to trample the gods.Flint: I…. I choose Power. Even if I am wealthy, it doesn’t mean I can get everything I want. With Power, one way or another I can.DC: Excellent choice.Flint: So, when do I get this Power?DC: When your soul and body becomes strong enough to contain it.Flint: So, how long till my body becomes strong enough?DC: When you reach level 199.Flint: That’s….That’s a long way.DC: Not really, it has been proven to possible to reach level 199 in 10 years i
Twenny looks at the crystal, then at them. “Once this crystal activates, the area will be sealed until all the monsters are defeated. Also, I’m not taking part in this.” She turns and walks away to the edge of the plains leading to a forest. They’re about half a kilometer away and they were warming up as Twenny was walking. Twenny sends EP into the crystal as it glows. “That’s all this thing does. SUMMONING WEAKEST CLASS MONSTERS.” A runic circle forms before Twenny as monsters between level 0 to 4 appear from the circle reaching 30 in numbers. “Go.” The monsters charge at Flint and Aku as they get ready to fight. The monsters ranging from slimes, goblins, orcs, mutated animal monsters to noble monsters of the same class.Akua chooses a great axe from the piles as Flint readies his broadsword as the 10 monsters rush to him and 10 towards Aku. Twenny chose to limit the number of attacking monsters.Flint charges at them as his thoughts, “I’ll be powerful, no matter how long it takes. I
