Chapter 15 - Leveling Up

The room Zeras was in was mind-numbing.

Even though it was of average size, it wasn't really the room size that numbed him; no, it was the design.

He looked up, noticing the large chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, sprinkling white motes of light in the room.

The flooring was white, with a bizarre mirage of a river surface.

Every step of his on the floor created a circular ripple of waves, just as if he was stepping on water, but he knew he wasn't.

Besides those, there was a gigantic bed to the farthest side of the room, which was enough to fit five adult males.

A large wardrobe and three sofas, along with other components of a room.

Two doors could be seen in the distance with the prescription on top.

Bathroom and Training Room.

Zeras ignored all those automatically moved towards the bed.

His feet dragged on the ground, causing ripples to appear.

Although he knew it was only a design, he just couldn't help slamming his foot around.

He appeared before the bed and pressed down, an incredulous expression replacing his excitement.

Only one word can describe what he felt.

"Soft. Extremely soft. Softer than a baby's butt."

He immediately jumped on it, and a moan echoed within the room.

Zeras felt his bones creaking in his body as if screaming out to him in joy.

He closed his eyes, trying to imprint the feeling into his deepest existence.

"Where have you been all my life..."

Zeras said, hugging the bed, but he regained himself as he sat down upright on the bed.

With the EIA Trial coming soon, he had more important things to do.

"Activate System In..." 

He had yet to complete when a stream of notifications appeared

[Main Quest Completed: Destroy the base and Survive.]

[Rewards: A Level-up card and two ability upgrade cards granted.]

[Side quests completed: Defeat an awakener.]

[+90 EXP gained]

[Total EXP: 100/100]

[Congratulations, you have leveled up to level 2.]

[+10 Attribute points gained.]

[Does Host wish to use the Level Up card now?]

"Yes..."

[Host has successfully used a Level-up card.]

[Congratulations, you have successfully leveled up to level 3]

[+10 Attribute points gained.]

"System Interface." 

The panel immediately changed

[Host Attributes] [Genes] [Skills and Abilities] [Shop] [Quests]

Magnifying his attention on the Host Attribute, the messages changed into a long list.

[Host Attributes]

-Name: Zeras Celestria

{Attributes Points: 20}

Zeras narrowed his eyes as he saw he had 20 free points to issue

"Add 5 points to the charm," Zeras said.

He hated that null in Carm for some strange reason and just wanted to get rid of that.

[Unable to input points to Charm. The charm would have to be unlocked.]

"Tch, I knew it,"

He said, clicking his tongue.

With that out of the way, it was time to increase his stats.

Looking at the recent battle, he fought.

He found out one thing that helped him the most, and that was his speed.

He was able to kill those scientists due to simply being quicker, and if not for his quick reaction speed, he would have been nailed to death by those extremely fast objects and died in the Base Head's hands.

After his speed comes his strength and then perception.

"Allocate 7 points to agility, 7 points to strength, 5 points to perception, and 1 point to Intelligence."

A stream of energy entered Zeras's body but eventually settled just as quickly as it came.

[Points successfully allocated]

Now his attributes looked like this.

[Attributes]

-Strength:12

-Perception:10

-Agility:14

-Intelligence:5

-Charm: null

{Attributes points:0}

Zeras gave a nod, and he moved to the next tab.

 Zeras focused as he debated on what skills to upgrade and made his decision.

"Use one ability upgrade on Dash, use the other on Chaos Devouring."

[Congratulations, Dash has been improved to Level 2.]
