YM778.TV Chapter 27 - 27: A New Morning
Eric was able to wake up only around 6 o\'clock in the morning of the next day and had a terrible headache when he did.
Opening his eyes though, he was pleasantly surprised, to see his system, without the need to enter his sea of consciousness.
It looked so cool! It was just like he was playing some kind of VR game but in real life. It was truly dope!
The new system interface had his stats, and a diagram of his body on the top right corner, and then the other two windows, Shop and Mission under it.
The notifications were on the left side, also with a clock attached to that corner. It was bendy to work with this new system interface.
The best thing though seemed to be the new perk of the system interface, there were two shining icons over the Shop and Missions windows, saying \'New\'.
This meant that new stuff was presented in those windows. What a good way to start his day, even the headache disappeared in a jiffy.
Opening the Shop window first, hoping that some new bendy stuff might be on sale in there, he started checking abilities first.
In the abilities section, there was only one new ability though, it was good but really expensive to him at the moment.
\'Slave-Seal Apprentice\' Upgradable Passive Rarity B
\'Slave-Seal Apprentice\' is a passive taught ability, which allows the host to learn and use one slave-seal on another person. 300 SP
! Warning! The targeted person needs to be in a 5 level range from the host, for the slave-seal to work out.
This was really good, especially with the plans he had in his mind, this was great. If only he could use this on Daisuke he would be able to take control of him without being known.
But 300 SP were too much for him at the moment. He only had around 25SP, in total, he was nowhere close to that 300SP.
Well, he could achieve that in around 10 days if he concentrated on the daily missions. But even then he had to train like a madman.
Now now, he couldn\'t let this spoil his mind, he would find a way to make it. Even if he had to do 3000 push-ups for it, he would do it.
Then looking at the other sections he didn\'t find anything cheap and useful that he could think of buying. They were either too expensive or were useless to the current him.
With that disappointment he opened the Missions window, he didn\'t expect much, to be honest. But there were new daily missions apparently.
Opening the daily missions, this time besides the normal three daily missions there were two more.
Daily
Mission 4: Make 20 Lunges every day on each leg, the start to becoming the ruler of the universe starts with a perfect vessel to reach the highest peak.
Rewards: 2 system points, 1 extra point for every extra 10 lunges. 2 exp points, 1 extra exp point for every extra 10 lunges.
Penalty: If the user doesn\'t accomplish this mission at least four days a week the system will be disconnected from the host.
Mission 5: Make 20 burpees every day, the start to becoming the ruler of the universe starts with a perfect vessel to reach the highest peak.
Rewards: 2 system points, 1 extra point for every extra 10 burpees. 2 exp points, 1 extra exp point for every extra 10 burpees.
Penalty: If the user doesn\'t accomplish this mission at least four days a week the system will be disconnected from the host.
While this meant more daily torture for Eric, his eyes were heart-shaped because he was thinking these things were just extra points.
It would take him a bit more time to finish these, but the points were touchable for him every day. This would make acquiring that ability even easier.
Main missions were still the same, but there was that \'New\' icon over the Special Missions window. With newly acquired enthusiasm Eric opened the Special Mission section.
Most of the missions were still the same, but there were three extra now.
Special Mission 4
Have intimate intercourse with Akira.
Rewards: 50 Exp, 5 SP
Additional Rewards: None
Special Mission 5
Have intimate intercourse with Takase.
Rewards: 50 Exp, 5 SP
Additional Rewards: None
Special Mission 6
Take control of Daisuke
Rewards: 1000 Exp, 200 SP
Additional Rewards: 1 Skill Point
! Note! A skill point can be used to upgrade any ability that the host already possesses, without the need to pay SP.
Now, these missions were something really interesting. Having fun with Akira and Takase himself was one thing, he needed to release some steam after his training sessions after all.
But that additional reward of taking control of Daisuke, that was a love declaration from his system. That was something really precious to him, especially now that he was dirt poor with SP.
Feeling really happy with what he just saw, he jumped from the bed happily, and went towards the bathroom to wash his face, and brush his teeth.
There was no one in there, normally Tina and Michael would wake up really late even if they were around the house. None of them was a morning person.
While brushing his teeth he was thinking whether he should play a bit with his little pet dog in the meantime, but thinking what might be expecting her latter he decided against the idea.
Getting out of the bathroom, he entered his room and worse some nice simple outfit, pants, a t-shirt, and a jacket. It was only now that he noticed that his clothes were too tight though.
After his training and what happened with the Low Body Tempering Potions and his crazy eating the previous day, his body had started to come in shape and muscle up.
Even his 6 pack had started to take shape!
This wasn\'t a bad thing, but this meant he needed new clothes as soon as possible, otherwise, he wouldn\'t have anything to wear, that didn\'t seem like a tight in his body.
Well anyway, he would be pleased by the reactions of those nerds and geeks in his group. He had changed so much in only 4 days, dead sure they would notice it.
Preparing the bag, he got out of the house, to be faced only by the sun on his face. It was still early after all, only around 7 o\'clock.
Without caring much about the time, he got down the building and started running towards his University.
Since it was early he thought of doing his training on the way, there were showers on the Campus of the University, and he had also taken a change of clothes in his bag.
And since he had money at the moment, it wouldn\'t be a bad thing to have breakfast at the cafeteria in his department. They cooked really well after all.
With these thoughts in mind, he started running and doing his training on the way to his University, and it took him around 1 hour to reach there.
Normally with his new stats, he could do this in less than 10 minutes, but adding the training on the way, it took him some time.
Having a quick shower in the cabins at the gym of the University, he ran towards the cafeteria, he was starving.
It was a good thing there wasn\'t a big line in there, and he ordered a nice soup and a toast and went to sit in front of the class where he would have his lesson 30 minutes later.
He had been missing the lectures for around 4 days, he wondered if Professor Tatsuya had missed him a bit or not. And there was Yoshida Gina in there too.
Well getting worked upheld no meaning right now, so he just continued to eat his breakfast. At this moment, a geeky guy with glasses noticed him, and coming in front of him with a dropped jaw, said,
Geek:" E..Eri..Eric!? What the hell happened to you!? How come you have become like this!?"
Until now, none of his classmates had been able to recognize him, they were thinking he was just someone new, or some guy from another department that liked the breakfast in here.
But now hearing that 4-eyes say that, and recognize him as Eric, they were all stunned. It was true he looked a lot like Eric, the guy in their class.
It was just that the Eric they knew was really skinny, and looked like he hadn\'t eaten a healthy thing in ages. His skin color was darker, and his body was like a dead body.
The person in front of them was so different. He looked so handsome, with white skin and rosy cheeks. Not to mention that since his clothes seemed tight, they could see the shape of his muscles.
Even though Eric couldn\'t be said to be one of the most handsome guys around, just the change of these 4 days was enough to place him on a podium of his own.
Not to mention that confidence he seemed to have found in himself, that was something that you didn\'t see every day.
Eric didn\'t seem to be surprised by the words of the 4-eyes, and said calmly,
Eric:" Hi Ginka, how have you been?"
Ginka seemed really startled by this reaction, he didn\'t expect such a reaction from Eric, especially from this new Eric, and with the eyes of everybody on him.
Looking at him seriously, Ginka said solemnly,
Ginka:" So what has happened to you? Did you find some inheritance or some Truck-Kun? Tell your brother what happened."
Hearing his words, Eric was dumbfounded for a moment, sometimes the most stupid things make for the truth, but you can\'t accept it.
But recomposing himself quickly, Eric looked at him solemnly and said…
