"Hey, where do you think you are going?" the fatty said as he blocked Abel with his fat body.
"What do you guys want? I don't think I ever had a problem with you guys before." He said suspiciously. The fat boy laughed, the other boys sneered. There were about seven of them including the fat boy. They all have wicked smiles on their faces as they surround him.
"You are a swine lusting after a goose." A Brawny guy among the group sneered. Abel stared at them warily ready to take action at any time.
"Enough with the talks, brothers let's take action." The fat guy called out to the rest. Before Abel could react they pounced on him and started to beat him up. Abel winced as he curled up trying to defend all the blows.
The blows were incessant, it looked like the group really wanted to kill him, Abel was alarmed. If he ever dies here nobody will bother about him. He thought of his parents who had been doting on him and used up all their money to send him to school. "Am I going to die like this?" He thought. soon he starts losing consciousness.
The boys stopped beating him when they saw how he spent his time. Curled up in a pitiful manner with bruises all over his body. The boys couldn't help but let out satisfied smiles on their faces.
"Serves you right, next time don't try to get close to our school Belle, Anna you are not worthy of her, next time we might just toss you inside the river." The fat guy warned.
Abel spurted out a huge amount of blood. So all these were because of a girl? What is happening to the world? Are boys nowadays so stupid?
He started feeling his consciousness slipping away, Abel knew this was the end for him no matter how unwilling he was. Just then a voice rang in his head.
"Ding!! Congratulations on receiving the super talent system, from now on you are bound to do great things.
Abel thought he was hearing things. He had read about systems in novels and thought that it was a very funny concept. He had fantasized many times of having a system just like the male lead in those popular novels. He was a bit excited, but perhaps, he was just hallucinating after all. How can their be system in this world
"System, if you really exist, I don't think there's any need to bind with me, I might not be able to live through this." He muttered. He thought he was crazy talking to himself, surprisingly the system replied.
"The system has a gift for you, rank one revival portion.
Ding! Host seems to be in critical condition. Does the host want to use the rank one revival portion?
"Yes!" Abel still confused didn't know when blurted out. Immediately he felt his body heating up, it was like some hot liquid was flowing inside his body, it was very soothing and wherever it passed he felt a comfortable feeling.
Soon he was completely healed. Abel stood up. Except for his scrawny clothes there was nothing that indicated that he was beating almost to death just now.
He didn't stay to ponder about it, instead he left the alleyway where he was beaten and headed home. he still couldn't wrap his mind around what happened but one thing he was sure o
Abel's house was some streets away. After walking for ten minutes he arrived at his street. There was an uncle selling instant noodles and buns with soy milk. He waved at him.
"Little Abel you are back?"
"Yes uncle Farouk." The man called Farouk gave a strange smile. "Come on, come and have some soy milk and buns."
Abel ignored him and headed to a house nearby. It was a two storied building, the painting was a little old. The landlady, a very beautiful woman in her late thirties, was standing outside the house and holding a cigarette. She took a puff and tilted her head in satisfaction.
Her eyes spotted Abel and she frowned. "Little Abel, have you paid your rent?"
Abel ignored her, she was clearly aware of the answer, he decided to frustrate her.
"I am not sure landlady, I think I remembered paying you but I am not sure if it's last month's rent." He replied. This time her mouth twitched fiercely.
"Do you really wanna play this game?" She asked in a dangerous voice. Abel knew the landlady well enough and knew that it's time to quit.
"How can I dare to anger my beautiful landlady, I was just joking I will pay up tomorrow." He said hurriedly.
The landlady was happy when he called her beautiful. She smiled and nodded.
"Smelly brat, make sure you pay up, do you hear? I know you can't afford to pay tomorrow so I'll be giving you three more days, if you can't pay then you park out of my house." She left after that and continued smoking her cigarette.
Abel shook his head and hurried upstairs. He lived on the first floor. His apartment wasn't very large, it was a one room apartment. He hurried inside and Immediately pulled his cloth in front of the mirror. He showed a shocked expression seeing that there were no bruises.
"So it's real?" He thought. "Where are you?"
Suddenly a white interface appeared in his mind. Causing him to jump abruptly.
"Welcome host, you haven't signed in the system today and you have a free silver lottery in the system." The system was announced.
"I want to sign in. How do I sign in?" He asked still in wonder.
"Host had successfully signed in , host had received twenty million credits as sign in reward."
"What!" Abel thought it was a prank, at that Moment His phone buzzed.
You have received twenty million credits from a merchant bank. The phone notification read.
"So it's true," he browsed through the system. It was simply divided into three, there was a store, abilities and a huge lottery wheel.
"System, can I use the silver lottery?"
Immediately the lottery started spinning, there were all kinds of items in the lottery that he couldn't understand as soon as the lottery wheel stopped. Abel looked at the item it pointed at. Immediately the information appeared.
"Charm portion increases Host charm."
"System uses it." he shouted. He felt a weird sensation all over his body. He walked to the mirror and looked at himself. He couldn't tell what exactly changed but he felt like he was more pleasing to the eye.
He was elated, he quickly browsed through the abilities interface. Surprisingly there were other windows.
Martial abilities, Supernatural abilities, Academics, talents and skills. He browsed through the different abilities and he was blown out. There were all kinds of abilities and skills. He became so excited but the problem is that he can't access those abilities. It needed points to unlock.
"How do I gain points?" He asked.
"You can get points by causing people to react because of you, and also, you will get reaction points if you fight powerful people. You can also gain points by completing system missions" The system answered.
"So I have to be famous, but I don't want to be a celebrity. Oh right, I can also get points by fighting, but what does the system mean by powerful people? I think that works."
The next day Abel woke up in good spirits. He was preparing for school and went to Uncle Farouk's stall to eat. It was a habit for him to always come here to eat every morning before going to school.
It's either he eats some steamed buns with soy milk or he eats instant noodles.
When uncle Farouk saw him, he smiled cheerfully. "Little Abel, you arrived already, what are you having now? Let me guess steamed buns and soy milks?"
Abel frowned, now that he is rich does he still need to eat frugally?
"Meat fusion noodles." He answered. Mr Farouk looked at him as if he was seeing him for the first time. Abel frowned.
"Am I that poor before." He muttered to himself. Mr Farouk soon came out with the noodles, it was stir fried with vegetables and cooked meats. Abel happily gulped the whole thing. It wasn't Everytime that he got to eat meat.
He thought of going to the bank after school and withdrawing some cash. After the meal he paid Mr Farouk and even gave him a tip , shocking the man.
Soon he arrived at Westlake city high school. The school was relatively big and it had a large building. Abel looked at the school compound and heaved. For some reason it seems like it was the first time coming to this school, he didn't know why he had such a weird feeling.
He crossed the huge gate that had a welcome to Westlake city high written on it boldly. A group of boys were gathered a short distance away, they were discussing something, when they saw Abel there was a hush sound as they all looked at him in disbelief.
"Isn't that Abel? I thought we dealt with him yesterday, why is he looking alright?" One of them pointed out. The rest all looked confused.
Abel walked past them without even giving as much as a glance.
[ Ding!!! Host has received ten system points]
Abel had a pleasant smile on his face, 'so this is how it works. I think I need to do something huge today to earn enough points.
He looked at one of the skills in the ability tabs. 'basic combat ability: can easily fight off against five grown men. ( Note, if the host unlocks basic physique, the host can easily fight off against ten grown up men.)
Abel's face brightened looking at the skills.
