Chapter 5: Marvin determination!

Magic Power increased by 5

Almost immediately, Marvin's headaches vanished as his Magic Power increased by another 5.

He thought, 'The reward increased by several times. It's as I concluded, the better my performance during the quest, the higher the reward for completing it will be. Next time, I will put my entire focus into completing a quest!'

That was when he heard mechanical words, notifying him of something more important.

[You have obtained 100 Experience points. Level up]

[Attribute points obtained: 5]

A message rang in his head.

[Attributes points can be disturbed into any stats to boosts your powers. Choose wisely]

"Character Menu!" Marvin said.

"So leveling up also have a restoration effect. My Magic power should have only increased by five, but it has been maxed out. Does that mean if I level up at 1 hp, I will immediately reach my peak state? If it's true then this can become my last trump card!'

Marvin had such dangerous thoughts. He had been beaten, regularly. He has been acting as bait to attract monsters for months to earn money for his beautiful family. Participating in life and death battle with a weak body has hardened his mentality and personality.

Without any further adieu, he distributed all points in his Dexterity stat, the faster he was the better as time Halt can last for a maximum of ten seconds only. With enough speed, he would be able to slaughter an enemy within the duration of time halt.

[Dexterity increased by 5. Total amount: 14]

He gazed at the character screen and saw this,

The system said that his agility has increased by five, but he didn't feel anything.

Previously, he was able to run 60 Kilometer per hour, one of the reasons why he hadn't died after being crushed under the metallic hoves and heavy bodies of magical beasts. He was weak, yet fast on his feet, not many could catch up to him, not even some Rank 2 awakened that has awakened an ability related to speed!

'It's already night, I have definitely missed the last train to my home. Now, I can only go back home on my feet. This is the best moment to check out how the increase in dexterity has improved me overall.'

Marvin has decided to run back to his home.

His home was located very far away from school as the prices of a house or apartment near the school were too costly for their family to afford. They could only stay in the house that their father has bought when he was alive.

Before Marvin started to run, a system notification popped up,

[Daily Quest: Divine Road to Glory]

Marvin reflexively spat out a dumbfounded chuckle after confirming the contents of the message.

"Ha, haha seriously man, will even taking a dump becomes a quest that will increase my strength. Isn't this gaming system broken?"

Marvin's lips thinned into a smile, realizing that this must be the chance he has to fulfill his dreams. "There's no need to feel troubled over all this! I'll just take it as a divine blessing. This system might count as the accumulation of luck of all my ancestors. Maybe their bones are dancing in their graves because of joy. With this system, I will be able to start a new life and become a completely different Marvin, a powerful Marvin!" He exclaimed!

While laughing, Marvin stepped out from under the veil. He controlled his facial features and started to run in the tracks.

The pain that he has been feeling in his ankles has vanished thanks to the recovery caused by the Gamer status. He was able to calmly run to the maximum of his physical limits.

He found out that his flexibility has increased. Not only that, he had better control over his feet, he was able to take bigger steps and change to shorter steps almost immediately.

'If I am to become a dancer then I will rock the battle stage!' Marvin thought.

Wing gales swept past each side of his face and ruffled his hair, dead grey eyes have turned silvery, and they shone the brightest under the moonlight.

Newfound motivation and powers have uplifted the heart of the beaten down and depressed Marvin. Now, he could feel his life-changing!

Running and Running, he certified that his speed has increased by some time, his flexibility has improved, and he has better control over his joints and body movement.

Just like in a game, dexterity didn't improve only speed, but all the aspects of the body.

He didn't even know when, but he had arrived at the familiar junk-filled Street near his home.

He was so fast that he passed by a drunken man in the blink of the eye.

"Ghost! There is a ghost!" The drunk man thought that he had seen a ghost. He hurriedly stood up to make a run for it, but his feet stumbled on the bottle littered over the ground. Like a God-given fool, the drunken man fell over on his face.

Marvin reached his home, but he bypassed it by running into some alleyways.

He had a lot of reasons behind this action, one it being two of the task can only be completed in the streets.

Marvin was willing to sacrifice his time with his family to become powerful.

Marvin wanted to become powerful as soon as possible to become rich. Only this way, will he be able to get his angelic sister and beautiful mother out of this hellhole. Only then will he able to cure the paralyzed leg of his angelic sister. Only by becoming rich will the situation of his household become better.

He wanted his sister to stand up once again. He wanted her to study in a prestigious academy, he wanted to marry her off to a suitable man that will love her will all his heart, and have enough authority to protect her from all harm.

He wanted to see her Grand wedding day!

Marvin has already thought that he will do his best so that his family will be able to see and experience wonderful days that have ended ever since their father died!

His mission still hasn't been complete and he wanted to complete it before heading home, so he entered into multiple alleyways and took to the main road.
