Chapter 21: Increasing overall strength!
After chatting with his mom and sis, Marvin returned to his room. It still had Bai Yue's scent. "It's only been an hour yet I am already missing her. What's wrong with me!" Marvin muttered just like a fool in love while lying down on the bed.
Shaking his head left and right, he said, "System, open the character screen!"
A semi-transparent screen opened right in front of his gaze as soon as the words left his mouth. The Gaming system was better than a 24/7 convenience store as it will follow Marvin's command 24 hours each day.
'I have 5 attribute points and two ability development points! From the gist of it, ability development points should be similar to the skill upgrade point of an RPG game. Let's see, first I should increase my magic power,'
Marvin thought as he observed the character screen. He looked at the magic power stats. It has increased to 10.9. He had gained 0.9 magic power thanks to pleasuring Bai Yue and pounding her pinkish cave. At the mention of her name, he felt something rising in his pants and he started to miss her again. Unable to control his desires he wanted to massage her, tell her how much he misses her; However, he didn't even have a device to do so. His smartphone was crushed and he lacked a spare one. 'I should buy one tomorrow.'
While thinking that, he poured his 5 attributes points in the magic power stats.
[Magic Power increased by 5: 10.9»15.9]
Almost immediately, Marvin's headaches vanished as his Magic Power increased by another 5. He became a rank-3 ability user.
With that said, it was time to expunge the Ability Development points. Marvin stared at his ability Menu.
[Ability Menu]
Ability Development points: 2
Active Ability: Martial arts, Gentleman's sensational Healing touch (Level:1), Gentleman's sensational Healing kiss (Level:1), Gentleman's sensational rod (Level:1)
Passive Ability: Gamers body
Magic Ability: Time halt
"I have a lot of abilities but only two Ability Development points. The system is there a way for me to see what perks I will get from upgrading an ability?" He asked.
[Yes! The Gamer can check out the perks of upgrading an ability before expending his ability development points with just a thought] The system replied in its monotone voice.
Marvin started to look through the abilities. Two of the three Gentleman's pleasure abilities were useless as they only amplified the sensational effect on the next upgrade; However, the last one increased the increase in magic power through one sexual intercourse by a certain percentage. "But I need to increase my overall strength immediately!" Marvin said. Tomorrow was the start of a new week, Monday as to say.
"Pretty soon, I will be facing his bullies in school, and this time, they are gonna be more furious than ever" His bullies were injured by Bai Yue, now they are bound to release their anger by beating up Marvin. After a momentary pause, a smirk formed on his face as he continued, "But I will teach them a lesson in place of their fathers!"
He was confident in winning as his gaze landed on the upgraded version of time halt and martial arts. Without any delay, he upgraded them both.
[Magic Ability: Time halt (Level:1) upgraded into Time halt (Level:2):
[Magic Ability: Time halt (Level:2):
Level 1 Effect: The power to stop the time of a two being or thing while still being able to move around normally. Time halt can be activated with a single thought. The Gamer can stop the time of any living or non-living thing in his vision or perception. Consumes 1 Magic Power Per Seconds for each person
Level 2 Effect: Create a time field that allows the speeding and slowing of time of anything within. The time field is erected around the host and only follows his thoughts. The consummation rate of magic power depends on the number of people that are affected by the time field]
[Martial arts upgraded into Magic empowered Martial arts (Lv:1)
Effect 1: The Host can now perform more than just a mere martial artist. The Host has learned a grand style of martial art that melds Magic power into the body to empower your attacks, increase your speed, helps you maneuver through enemies, and thwarts your opponents' strategies with overwhelming physical might!]
Marvin was laying still like a stick, vision hazy as a vast amount of knowledge rushed to his brain. Some minutes later, he stood up with a smile. There was something different about him and the bullies will be the first ones to determine this difference.
Later the same night, Marvin went to the storage room to pick his father's rusty dagger. He used 'Inspect' on it to gain one proficiency point.
[Rusty Dagger (Broken)
Rank: 1
Runic Effect: 0
No special abilities]
This was the dagger his father had used in the last fight against the Cranked magical beasts. It was a pretty useless dagger; However, Marvin had picked this rusty dagger for a reason.
"Quest Window!" Marvin said and a partial-transparent screen opened in front of him. There were many completed quests. His eyes dropped to the incomplete quest.
[Weekly Quest: Divine Road to Glory]

"The quest's still here." Marvin thought.
He had been kept busy because of a lot of things and wasn't able to complete the quest he had obtained yesterday. Now, it was time to complete it.
He went back to his room and started exercising. One by one, he completed all his tasks, and an hour passed away. After the last push up, Marvin was still as fresh as ever. He didn't break even a single sweat. He had been using magic power to reinforce his body while training. Although he had spent 2 units of magic power to complete the quest, it wasn't a time. The Magic power will be automatically restored to the max amount by the time he wakes up because of his magic power regeneration.
A system notification had opened when he completed the quest.
