'For now let's check out the rest of my parameters I guess.' Adam thought while looking again to the status page. Looking closely at his HP value, he was startled when it all of a sudden expanded.

HP ( Health Points )

Used as a value to determine the life force of The Gamer

HP =( VITx10 +STRx5 )

As long as this value is non-zero, no injury to The Gamer will be permanent.

Seeing this explanation, Adam nodded, thinking 'Just like a normal JRPG.'

Then he looked at the other values.

MP( Mana Points )

Used as a value to determine the quantity of mana in The Gamer.

MP = ( INTx10 )

Used in casting magic and enchanting.

SP( Stamina Points )

Used as a value to determine the quantity of energy in The Gamer.

SP = ( VITx10 )

Used in reinforcing the body and aura attacks.

From the information he gained by looking at these two values, he came to two conclusions.

One

Magic and aura which he assumed warriors use exists

Two

It is possible to learn it( from the fact that his MP value and SP value is non-zero )

" This is so freaking awesome." Adam whispered to himself.

"Now that that's done, let's look at skills."

[Skills]

Skills are physical or magical abilities which can be gained by performing a specific action.

They usually have levels, and proficiency with the skill may be gained by acquiring more knowledge about the skill or increasing their familiarity with the skill through repetition. Once fully mastered,itis sometimes possible to advance or evolve a skill. It is also possible to combine skills.

...Hmm

Then what's up with Gamer's Mind and Body ? How are they already at max level?"

[Gamer's Mind and Gamer's Body is a perfect skill, and does not need any increase in proficiency to master it]

"Oh is that so ? I wonder how they work?"

'Time to experiment I guess'

Thinking so to himself, Adam decided to test out the two skills.

"Guess it's time to bring out the tear jerkers"

He then proceeded to Y**T*be, searched "Top 10 Saddest Movie Scenes" ,and watched the whole thing without so much as a sniffle.

..."I guess it works.Now to test out Gamer's Body."

Taking a small knife from the Kitchen, he held it to his pinkie

'Please don't hurt like a b**ch.'

Thinking so he slashed the knife quick and clean over his pinkie.

"F*ck that hurt like a b**ch !", Adam yelled, like a little bi**ch.

After yelling out from the pain, he looked again to the wound,or rather where the wound should have been.

"It's gone"

Inspecting his pinkie well, he observed that wound had totally disappeared. After checking his HP, he noticed it had gone down to 154/155

"Now that, is awesome"

"So I guess that's that for skills"

"Perks?"

[Perks]

Perks are special abilities gifted to those that have been awakened to the Abyss after reaching a certain strength. These perks are normally based on the lineage of the awakened, who will receive the legacy of their ancestors.These are the Bloodline Perks

Normal Perks may also be earned which usually give a bonus to the stats on which they're based.

"Awakened?, the Abyss?, what are those?"

[Level too low for this information]

'Hmm? that's sorta odd.So what level do I need to be before I can know this? ' Adam thought.

[...]

However all he got in return was silence.

'This is strange. Could it be that there are other people with game-like abilities like me?And if so why haven't they shown themselves yet ?Could there be some restriction that prevents "awakened people" as the system refers them as from showing themselves or their abilities ?'

[INT+1 for good reasoning]

.....Hmm

'It's been confirmed by the system. That must mean it must be something serious if it's able to keep super powered people quiet. So for now I think I'll keep my mysterious new circumstances to myself.'

[WIS+1 for wise decisions]

'I guess that was the right choice to make.' Adam thought

Putting the knife down and turning to leave the kitchen , Adam said, "Alright then, I guess I should go experiment on how my other stats work."

"Kweeekuuuuuu" .Someone yelled

"Or not."

"Coming mum." Adam yelled back, as he raced to reach his mother's presence, since the only times she ever called him by his African name, or " Fie Din", is when she was severely pissed.

[WIS+1 for wise decisions]

"Oh f*ck you.", he softly whispered as he ran to receive retribution for whatever wrongs he might have done.

[Hannah "Akua" Greene]

Lv: 8 Businesswoman

The first thing Adam noticed when he found his mother was the translucent blue screen floating on top of her head.

The second thing he noticed was that she was standing inside his room. A room he'd been holed up in and dirtied for a whole week with no care whatsoever.

The third thing he noticed was that she was mad, very, very mad.

A stern disciplinarian, Hannah Greene was a woman who had toughened up and held her family together in their lowest moments.A strong woman,who albeit was very sweet and caring to her children and close friends, also had a fierce temper and a strong will. This was shown by her very high level despite being a normal person.Normally she wouldn't be so mad at him, but seeing all the filth and disorderliness of Adam's room, all which served as evidence of him not leaving his room for the whole week she'd been working,set her off.

What followed was the worst 30 mins of scolding Adam had ever received in his life.This was then followed by him being somehow reverse grounded, And he had to stay outside the house for 3 hours everyday and some fresh air and exercise.Then his official punishment followed, which was cleaning not just his room, but the kitchen and toilet as well as taking out the trash. There was a silver lining in all this trouble though,two in fact.

The first silver lining was he now had a legitimate excuse to go outside for long periods of time and experiment with his abilities.And the second silver lining

[Quest]

Make Mum Happy Again[Grade F]

You've been punished with cleaning duty and taking out the trash.Do these chores promptly or face mum's wrath.

Reward for Completion

[Exp +20]

Bonus Reward

[Exp +10 , Mum is happy again]

Completed by putting in more effort and cleaning as well as you can.

'My question about Quests has been answered I guess.' Adam said

he then quickly got to work, putting in all the effort he could to get those extra 10 Exp and of course his mum's favour again.And then.....

[By performing a specific action, you've gained the skill "Cleaning"]

[By increasing skill proficiency, Cleaning has become Lv. 2]

[By increasing skill proficiency, Cleaning has become Lv. 3]

[By increasing skill proficiency, Cleaning has become Lv. 4]

Looking at the messages that had popped up as he was cleaning as well as he could, Adam went to his status page and observed the skill.

[Skills]

Cleaning ( Lv. 4 Exp 47/80)

A skill that housewives are highly proficient in, this skill increases the efficiency and speed of cleaning (Based on level)

Increases efficiency and speed by 10%.

.... ' Well it seems like a useful skill at least. And yet ,somehow, why does this feel so bittersweet ?'

With these thoughts, the first day of the Gamer's life ended with him cleaning the kitchen and toilet.
