"The time is not right my child. You will come to know the truth when you are ready to bear the responsibility... for now you must return"

"Ha? No wait... don't send me yet... NOOOOO!!!"

Jay held out his hands as he was being thrown out of the void. Till now that's what he wanted but after getting a clue about his father's disappearance he didn't want to leave the void.

"Nooooooo!!!!!"

"Huff huff..."

Jay was breathing heavily and panting.

"What...? Where? Why? How?"

He suddenly asked himself after opening his eyes.

He found himself lying on the floor of his own room where he had eaten the Skill Crystal Stone.

"Was... was that all a dream?"

He swallowed a huge amount of saliva and grit his teeth. He wasn't sure about the thing that just happened to him.

"But it was too realistic to be a dream..."

Even if he wanted to think that it was a dream, he couldn't do it since he had the knowledge that he read from the books and all the skills.

"Haha, if I have the knowledge then that means it wasn't a dream."

Despite saying that he had some doubts remaining within him. However, those doubts were erased as soon as he saw a system notification.

After seeing the status Jay wanted to add all the Stat points immediately to attack. However, that wasn't a wise choice. He wanted to distribute them evenly. That way he might be safer and stronger in all aspects.

"Hmm, let's see. I have 42 stat points and 2500 Merit Points. For now I'll not use Merit Points whereas Stat Points... let's use them."

He immediately decided to use all those 42 stat points to increase his overall strength and rank.
