'Hey system, what is this directional hearing?' he asked.
'Oh, that can be quite helpful. Right now every sound feels like it's coming from everywhere.'
'3 at once? Nice.' The gathering of energy was getting faster and faster now that he had overcome the initial hurdle. Slowly, the energy started to accumulate and he completed the tasks easily.
The all surrounding sound suddenly got separated and he could now hear them as if he were using his own 2 ears to hear them.
'Yeah, I'm definitely underwater. And I don't think it's flowing very fast too, or at least the sound should have been louder if I were,' he thought.
'Ah, the system did say I was in a glacier. Makes sense if I am moving slowly.'
He waited for more notifications to come up, but nothing happened. 10 minutes passed, but still, nothing happened.
'Hey, system. Why am I not getting any more energy?' he asked.
'Wait, does that mean I will have to wait until the sun comes up tomorrow morning?' he thought. The system said nothing, so he assumed he was right.
'Oh god!' he dreaded having to waste 12 hours just listening to what sounded like someone gargling.
'Is there a way I can sleep?' he asked the system.
'Oh, then can you wake me up when the sun comes up?' he asked
Suddenly, he lost consciousness.
He woke up to listen to part of what the notification had said.
'Why did you wake me up so soon, system? I thought I said to wake me after the sun comes up.' he hadn't even been able to get a wink of sleep before the system woke him up.

'Huh? Did I sleep for so long? But I didn't even feel like I was asleep?' he said.
'Oh,' he hadn't realized that. 'God, why is everything so cold?... cold?' he said as he realized what he had just said. Cold.
'Huh? I can feel cold? What's going on?' he asked.
'What is that? And how do I have it?' he asked.
'What? Status' he quickly opened the status page.

'203!?!?! How did I get so much energy?? Didn't you say I wouldn't get any more energy since the sun was down?' Without him knowing, overnight, his numbers had grown tenfold.
'Why can't I see what I have unlocked yet?' he asked.
'Yes, show me!!'
[Unlocks
Energy: Unlock

'Rotational Movement? Auditory Spatial Sense? What does that mean? Can you explain?' he asked the system.
Ning heard what the system said and started to feel around him. He could tell he was still in the glacier by the gurgle of water and the cold temperature around him. However, being inside the water, he couldn't tell exactly how large the glacier was.
'Hey system, does movement sense mean I will be able to tell if I'm moving?' he asked.
'Alright, since the sun is up, I should be able to gather enough energy now' he thought and waited for more energy to gather up. Suddenly, he got a notification. 'Here it is,' he thought as he checked.
'What? Wait… W-What? What do you mean I lost Energy? Why am I losing energy?' He started shouting. Why would he lose energy when the purpose of the system was to absorb and grow more energy.

'So, I can also lose energy and not just gain it?' he asked.
'I see. But, wouldn't it be hard for me to gain energy if I keep losing it?' he asked.
'That's a relief to hear.' He gained 4 more energy as he said that. As the sun started to grow higher and higher, he both gained and lost a bunch of energy.
Around 5 hours later, a little before noon, according to the system, he completed the task.
'Oh, I can feel it. I can tell I'm moving somewhere. Why can't I tell the direction though?'
He checked his status and realized why. 'This stingy system. Why is it making me do so many tasks to unlock the simplest of senses.' He thought.
The next unlock at 1000 Energy was Directional Senses. 'Well, at least I should be able to tell which way I'm moving using the sounds for now' he thought.
He let the water in the glacier carry him away to hopefully reach warmer climates where he would be able to gather more heat energy.

Hidden away behind layers of clothing and just as many walls and doors, he only ever leaves the house in the dead of night, so that neither the gods or anyone else can ever see him. However, on one of these night-tide outings, he finds that has gained the unwanted attention of what is seemingly a perfectly normal owl and through his unwitting efforts at simply filling his nights with acts of personal meaning, he ends up promising himself to a creature that is perhaps even less versed in human ways than he himself is; a mysterious, odd owl-goddess that nobody seems to have ever heard of, Obscura. Hineni, having had no greater purpose in life until now, finds himself willing to accept this turn of events and dedicates himself to creating a brand new adventuring guild, under the watchful eyes of the ancient entity Obscura, who has only one, clear, proclaimed goal - - To hunt the BIG FROG!

8 67EX: Emblem
Since humans were first born onto this world, they have been marked with an emblem. This emblem would dedicate their fate. Those marked with the strength’s emblem would become great warriors, while those marked as the wisdom’s emblem were destined to become great mages.

In a world where the emblem determines one's fate, Lynn, a 15-year old freshman, is one without these two. To be one out of a billion, will he be able to survive in this world? 500-2000 words per chapter. 1/2 years per update.

Heroes. Villains. Magic. It's a story we've heard told time and again, each a near copy of the last. You know the story, but what if it was told from an entirely new perspective? What if it didn't follow the hero? What if, and bear with me here: I told it instead? My name is Daniel, and I'm just a simple merchant with quite the story to share...
