He slowed his pace and slowly completed the rest of the training.
After finishing up, Alex walked inside the Hotel and looked over the reception. He saw Rachel looking at the window with a pout.
"What happened?" Alex asked as he walked over to the reception. Rachel still continued to look at the window with a pout. Alex scratched his head and spoke, "I apologize for not greeting you earlier, I wanted to keep to a tight schedule of finishing everything from 5 am to 6am so I didn't want to waste a second. I came here to greet you…" Alex smiled, hoping to get some reply.
Rachel, still pouting, slowly turned to Alex. "Well, You should have told me… I was worried for you after hearing about this mind control… And to see that you just ignored me earlier, I got a bit angry." Rachel answered while still pouting.
Alex laughed and replied, "I'm sorry for that but I'm here talking to you… I'm all fine, nothing happened to me. I'm feeling better than ever. And I hope you're feeling good as well…"
Rachel smiled back and nodded, "I'm also fine… But I think you should go and take a shower now… the carpet might get ruined from all the sweat dripping from your body…" she laughed as she looked at the all sweaty Alex.
Chapter 75: Attributes | Hero System! Transported to Another World
(I know that It's been confusing for some of you but don't worry, I will be writing Attribute Points instead of Skill Points for Player attributes. I will slowly change it in the previous chapters as well.)
Alex laughed awkwardly, "I should go, We can have a chat later. Bye." Rachel continued to laugh and waved Alex goodbye and he walked to the elevator. 'Is there no other method of going to the higher floors that the elevator? I'm pretty sure that it would count as running if I ran down some stairs so It wouldn't be me waiting in the elevator for a few minutes… I'll need to ask once I'm fresh.' Alex thought as he waited in the elevator. "I should just take a bath, then call Midnight… She said that she would train me and I genuinely need the training. I might have some enhanced strength and speed but I have no combat knowledge, I just use the dagger skill or throw it. So I need to learn how to fight, at least at a basic level so I can be more useful in a battle." Alex said when he reached his floor.
He opened the door and headed to the bathroom. "But what Rachel said was true, the sweat from doing that much training is just astonishing. I'll need to drink a lot of water as well." Alex thought to himself as he got ready to take a long bath. 'This is a more relaxing day, nothing huge is happening, no meeting… That thing about the Brotherhood of Freedom will be dealt with by the higher ups so I can finally let loose and relax…' Alex thought to himself as his mind started to relax.
"I still can't believe that I'm in some other world, most things are the same… A few rules like the Id rule where you need the Id everywhere is weird but you get used to it… Not everyone has powers so there is no discrimination for those who are powerless… The thing that's the same here is that the people are just following every word of the government like it's made of stone… I was one of them but after everything that happened, My eyes have opened… Even here, the awakened dislike the government, Hell, the new organization which experiments on new awakened and uses mind control to make the victims do their bidding are supported by the top dogs of the Office…" Alex said with a sour face.
He looked at his body and took a deep breath, "but it's very weird, At times it doesn't feel like my body. I've grown taller, my muscles became more defined and my impure acne filled skin became clear… Wait…" Alex suddenly thought of something, he looked at the system Ui and spoke, "System, What happened to my body after I obtained your power?" Alex asked in high hopes.
[Player Alex's body is still the same… The damage done from being torn in half was too great so when the player was healed from that state, his body was reconstructed once again, making the player grow taller as well as have a more durable body. Player Alex's body was also rid of any impurities by the reconstruction process.]
Alex was happy to hear the system's answer. "So the reason that I look more attractive was that I was saved from near death by my body being reconstructed? That's something to think about but what's more important now is the fact that I forgot that the System would answer my questions… I don't know why I didn't think of asking it more questions, I just assumed it to be something that only tells you a few things…" Alex put his palm on his hand and sighed.
He looked at the UI and noticed his health.
[Alex- Lesser-Known Vigilante]
[Level- 11]
[health- 70]
[Mana- 63]
Alex looked at his Attributes menu and spoke, "I don't think I have to learn how changing the Attributes affects me by trial and error…" Alex looked at his health once again and asked, "System, How is my health and Mana affected by increasing the values of the Attributes menu?"
A woman's voice answered, [Attributes affect player health, mana, and situational awareness and rational thinking abilities. It also increases Physical prowess.]
Alex nodded and thought for a while. He once again spoke, "System, can you tell me what's affected by each individual Attribute?"
[Strength: Increasing Strength will affect Player Health. Higher-strength points mean a higher number of Health points. It also increases the player's pain endurance and defense. If the player has high Strength, he will not only have more health Points but will also take reduced damage from enemies. Strength also increases the physical powers of the player, meaning that the player can lift heavier objects, Jump higher or land without taking damage from a height.]
[Agility: Increasing Agility will Affect the Player's speed. It will also increase the player's health points but at a smaller rate than Strength. Increased agility also affects not only the player's physical speed but mental as well, Player will be able to process situations faster.]
[Intelligence: Increasing Intelligence will affect Player Mana. Higher Intelligence leads to an increase in Mana points. It also increases the Player's thinking capability of the Player. The Player's thoughts will also be less distracted and processing situations will also be quicker. When the player has higher intelligence, it will lead to the possibility of him being able to create skills and abilities of his own.]
[Dexterity: Increasing Dexterity will slightly affect player mana as well as slightly affect player health. Increasing Dexterity will lead to more health and Mana points for the player. The physical effects on the body by this Attribute is similar to Agility but the Player will also have magic related effects. The player can cast higher level magic at a quicker rate and as Dexterity increases, The mana usage for abilities will decrease.]
[Courage: Courage is A special Attributes Point as the player cannot change the value. It will be increased by other Player Actions. Its effects on the player are increased mental prowess. A higher number of courage points will lead to the player being calmer in deadly situations. Player will also be able more restive to Illusion type attacks.]
The System explained slowly.
Chapter 76: Small Talk | Hero System! Transported to Another World
"Wow, So I was just dumb and didn't realize that I could ask these questions to the system and get an answer instantly. I guess other than giving me powers, the system also helps me a lot in terms of information…" Alex said as he slowly got up from the bath. He walked out and wore a new pair of clothes, "These tracksuits are really comfortable, and I can more freely… The clothes I had before were just torn… I only had a few good clothes to wear when applying to jobs." Alex sighed when he thought of the past once again. He looked at the time, "It's six-thirty now… I'm sure they are awake by now. So I'll just call Midnight." Alex pulled out his phone. But after thinking for a second, He put it back in his pocket, "My muscles still hurt a little, I might as well take a break. Go down and talk to Rachel for a while. She seemed worried about me to It's better to do that. There also should be a restaurant in the hotel…" Alex then thought for a bit and said, "Even if there is one… It might be closed. The mind control parasites are something that we can't really do anything about but just stay away from others physically so eating food in a public place would be the main place where they would spread. That would make sense why Imani said that she would cook if I didn't know how to…" Alex walked over to the door and said, "Doesn't matter. I just need to relax for now and talking to someone normal will be the best thing to do for that." Alex said as he entered the elevator.
He looked at the system Ui once again, "After I am able to finish this daily morning training and not have any De-buff for my health or mana. I'll immediately do the Hades Challenge. It doesn't need me to be a high level so it'll be the perfect thing for me. If it's some game mechanic like a wave of enemies or just certain challenges I need to complete, It should make the enemies around my level which would mean that they are easier to kill for me so It should be an easy challenge."
Alex exited out of the elevator with a small smile. He felt happy when he thought about getting a legendary weapon for himself. Rachel saw Alex with a smile and said, "Did something happen to make your face light up?" She was curious.
Alex shook his head, "No I just thought that I would get a break today… It won't be as weird as the last two days. I'll just train at midnight, have some food, maybe train more and then go to sleep." He quickly made up a reason. Rachel looked confused and asked, "That doesn't really sound like a break to me… You did some intensive workouts early in the morning. And being an awakened or not, your muscles should still be sore, even if it's only a little. And now to have combat training with Miss Midnight… It sounds pretty rough to me."
Alex laughed when he heard Rachel, "It's a bit rough, I agree with that. But if you really compare it to the things I went through the last two days, It really does feel like a break." Rachel looked at Alex and nodded. "I would offer some coffee but it's against the current rules so I apologize for that. We can continue our chat here though. I was pretty worried about you when I saw you get shot by the reapers… Even if you're fine now, it must have been difficult fighting all those reapers… Plus, you had to deal with more after you dealt with that lot. The gates evolved and even stronger reapers came. You also dealt with those even after you if you were tired. Granted Midnight and Buster were there to help but still, it must have been tiring." Rachel suddenly got up and ran over to the door behind the reception desk and headed in.
Alex looked confused by Rachel's actions. He didn't understand what she was doing. "She just left as we talked? Or is she getting something?" Alex mumbled as he looked at the door. A few seconds later, Rachel spoke from within the room, "I'm sorry if it looked weird, I was getting my coffee. The milk was boiling and I didn't want to clean up the stain from the overflowing milk."
Rachel walked out with a cup of coffee in her hands. Alex smiled and shook his head, "It's no big deal, I was just confused at first." Rachel smiled back and walked over to her desk. It was quiet for a few seconds but the ringing of the phone in the reception broke the silence. "Reception office, how may I help you?" Rachel said in a cheery voice after picking up the phone.
Alex stood there as he watched Rachel Answer the phone, "He is here." Rachel looked at Alex with a smile. "Of course, I can send him over to you." She said as he put down the phone and looked at Alex, "it seems like our chat will be a short one. Midnight asked you to get ready. Training will begin in 10 minutes."
Alex looked confused, "How did she know I was here?" He asked as he looked around the reception. Rachel laughed and answered, "Weird, right? She can guess these things pretty well. But that doesn't matter for now. You already look ready so you can just sit here while you wait for Midnight to come. From the sounds of it, She was pretty fired up. Her combat training is pretty good from what I've heard, many people have come out from her training as effective fighters."
Alex walked over to a chair and spoke as he sat down "That means that she has trained others before me." He looked curious.
Chapter 77: Will I be able to use it? | Hero System! Transported to Another World
Rachel nodded, "Midnight might not be a close ranged combat specialist but she is a good trainer. Every now and then, She and a few other A rank Awakened train the lower level awakened in combat so you have her as a personal trainer is really good. From what I've heard her training has helped many new awakened to be more effective in combat."
Alex looked surprised by Rachel's words. "I thought she was just going to help me because there was no one else available. I didn't know that she trained others as well and was that good at it on top of that…"
Rachel smiled, "you're lucky, having her as a teacher will help you a lot. At least you will be able to protect yourself if anything happens. Then I don't need to worry about you every time you do something."
She looked at Alex, slightly furrowing her eyebrows. Alex scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "We'll if I get in trouble, It's probably not under my control. I mean, yesterday and the day before yesterday are the main examples of that. Half of the time I had no clue what was going on. I woke up in the morning, a few hours later, I'm in some other world, an hour later, I'm being attacked by a mind-controlled awakened, another few hours later I'm being investigated. The next day, It's just meeting, Gate opens, The gate evolves, It evolves once again and then the facility gets attacked and then the days end." Alex went off on a rant about everything that has happened so far.
He looked at Rachel who was holding back her laughter. When she saw Alex had quieted down, She burst out laughing. "I'm sorry. I really do feel bad for you because of everything that has happened to you so far but I can't help but laugh at you ranting about it all."
Rachel shook her head and took a deep breath, "I've said this before, You've had it hard. But at least you're alive. That's what matters. The fact that you're alive and well. The reason to laugh is that you've survived it all and now look at you, you're an Awakened. Many people wish to be one of the Awakened, Fighting evil reapers and saving the world."
Another voice added on to Rachel's words, "Exactly, You're an awakened now. From your story, I can already say that you've evolved a lot, Alex. From that small powerless kid to someone who people will admire, You've changed in a span of days. Granted I don't know for myself the things you've went through or have I seen any parts of your previous life but I can still say that you're doing amazing. And you should be happy and laugh at the shitty things that happened to you in the past. Laugh at their inability to stop you from evolving."
Alex and Rachel looked at the source of the voice to see Midnight. She was standing in front of the elevator with her arms crossed, listening to Alex and Rachel's conversation. Midnight looked at Rachel and smiled, "You aren't too shabby with words, are you? I guess being a receptionist at a huge hotel like this one has helped make you and your words pretty. At least pretty enough to attract and motivate a man in his 20's."
Rachel Smiled at Midnight and shook her head, "I'm just speaking the truth from what I've seen." Midnight smiled back and looked at Alex, "Well, I guess That was the end of the motivating part of the day. Now after listening to that, I can say for sure that you must be motivated, at least enough to get started with the training. I just came here but knowing Rachel, she must have already told you that I have a lot of experience in training others in combat. I may be a support and long ranged awakened in actual battles but everyone needs to learn close combat. They're lifesavers. Most reapers are short ranged. Only some work with bows or similar long ranged weapons like spears so It's important for us all to learn it. From the way I've seen you fight, I already know that you have little to no combat experience. Except for your dagger attacks, which seem to be techniques which again make no sense to me." Midnight paused and walked up to Alex.
"It really doesn't make sense at all. Little to no combat experience but you know weapon techniques to kill… You can also throw the dagger pretty accurately… It's all a bit too weird, right Alex?" She smiled as she looked at Alex in Question.
Alex shook his head and shrugged, "I have no clue, to be honest. I really don't have combat experience, that's the truth. As I said, I worked odd jobs, Maybe some simpler jobs in markets, and even some mining but I've never had actual combat. So I really don't know what to do in battle. So you're right about me doing it from instinct. It all feels like a blur when I think back to it. And the using the dagger attacks, That I don't know. But I think It's just that I'm able to use the weapon that I was able to cast out of thin air. Might be related to being able to cast the dagger. Maybe in the future when I'm able to cast some other weapon than a dagger, I will also be able to use that as well." Alex answered.
'This isn't a lie so I'm sure that Midnight will believe it. It's a semi lie, just twisting words but Now that I think about it… I'm only able to use the dagger cause of the skill but what happens if I get Hades? I don't think a dagger suits me very well so It will surely transform into a different weapon for me but if that's the case, how will I be able to use that weapon?' Alex suddenly thought of a question.
Chapter 78: Training Facility | Hero System! Transported to Another World
Alex's face suddenly fell when he thought about not being able to use Hades. 'I'll have to train in basic combat first. After that, I'll need to focus more on weapon skills. If I get Hades, I'll need to learn the weapon that it transforms into. Hopefully, it won't be difficult. Its description said that the weapon would change forms into a weapon that would suit me best. So learning the weapon won't be difficult… Hopefully.' Alex was deep in thought.
