《The Upgrade System》Hidden Function
Advertisement
I stopped thinking about how many monsters I had to kill and started to think about if I should kill rank 1 or 2 muscle refinement stage. While thinking about it non-stop I came up with a solution which was to at first kill rank 1 monsters to get used to them after getting used to them I'll fight rank 2 monsters, to temper my body.
I walked for a couple of minutes before I reached my house and I entered the small house. I entered the room to only be exposed to the aroma of food coming from the table, in the middle of the house.
I said "hi" to Lucy and went and sat on the chair to eat my lunch and get ready to start the mission the second I finished eating my food. As I was eating the food delightfully Lucy came to the table and sat on the opposite side of me while eating her food.
She looked at me then asked "What mission did you pick?" I took out the mission paper and gave it to her.She took a few second to read the whole thing, after she finished, she looked at me and said, "We are not doing this mission, you're not even rank 1 muscle refinement stage". I look at her than I say to the system "release my aura". As I released my aura the whole room started shining red as the grey and violet aura was released.
Lucy looks at me dumbfounded and starts to ask me, "When I did your bro Broke through and became a cultivator".
"It happened like 1 month ago, after I was injured by the bear".
She then looks at the violet, grey aura and asks, "what's up with your aura, don't you get an aura when you break through qi refinement stage".

I started to get nervous and try to come up with an excuse that I could tell her and get out of this situation.
"System, help me out, " I said in my brain, "There are 3 answering you can tell her"
"1. Tell her the truth"
"2. Tell her that you had an enlightenment in a skill that effected your aura"
"3. Tell her that an old man has been helping you in your dreams to cultivate and he thought you a skill about Qi that gave you an aura before reaching Qi refinement stage"
I was trying to pick one of the answers but none of them were believers, it's the same as saying I threw a bait in the river to catch a fish but I caught a Phoenix.
I couldn't choose any of the answers before I heard Lucy say "it's okay if you don't want to say it now but you can tell me later".
I felt a bit relief hearing her word cause now I had a bit of time in coming up with an answer.
After I finished eating I told her that I will be starting to do the mission, she insisted on coming along with me to do the mission but I didn't want her to get hurt and that would make me lose a chance of getting an upgrade card when she kills a monster. I picked everything that I needed and went outside and started to walk towards the outer part of the forest where most rank 1, 2, and 3 muscle refinement monster live. I walked for 2 hours before I reached the outer region of the forest. I started to look for any kind of rank 1 monsters, I didn't have to look for long before I found 2 monsters at rank 1 and 2 muscle refinement, breeding in the open air in front of me. I took out my sword that I packed as I was coming here and filled it with the bit of Qi I had and struck their head.

The sword had a bit of difficulty going through the rank 2 muscle refinement monster, but it cuts the rank 1 one like a butter.
I was ready to see two numbers of upgrade cards go up but to no avail nothing happened and nothing went up except that I felt something going up by a bit. As the that bit went up I felt a bit more power in my body, I felt very shocked from this development and so I asked the system.
"What was that?"
"Congratulations! The host has discovered a hidden function, reward: 5 times the normal effect for 1 month" "What does this function does" "It fills 0.5% of your dantain when you kill am a living being and is at the same level as you are, the % percentage depends on the level of the monster if it's 1 level lower than you it divided by 2 and when its 1 level higher than its times 2.
"You will not get anything from a monster 2 levels lower than you, but you will get times 4 multiplier if it 2 levels higher than you. "I was over the moon when I heard the notification, this has been the same as just giving me the power to control. Than system said something else, "When your dantain is filled the system will store the rest of Qi inside the system so when you refine the Qi and break through, then I will again fill your dantain".
I was confused on how to refine Qi because when I cultivated the Qi was already refined by nature, so I asked the system " how do I refine the Qi?" It answered with "Just try to cultivate, but use the Qi in your dantain as the source of the Qi"."This is extra information formation for you, 1 hour 2% of qi refined
When you refine 100% of the qi you will break through and your dantain will be refilled with stored qi" "warning you cannot use this function after 1 months and you can only store enough Qi in the system to make you break through 1 stage" "Wait, why can't I use this function after 1 month" "Because when you first notice the function it was when I was testing it if worked or not and it did work, but you noticed the change, so I gave it to you to use it for 1 months with 5 times multiplications a gift."
"Then when can I use the function again"
"When you unlock it"
"How do I unlock it"
"Just try to get a mythical innate talent and physique"
I stopped asking questions and started killing whatever monster I saw.

A thousand of the survivors are sent to Raylia. A planet that is on the outskirts of the system, as The System was trying to send as many survivors to as many planets as possible. Thoren flies headlong into action...literally. What equates to skipping the tutorial, Thoren finds himself stuck in a level 50 instanced dungeon. no food no water no weapon only the company of an imp. "I'm Screwed" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This story uses the system derived by Puddles4263 in Randidly Ghosthound. I've incorporates the Path's system into the leveling of this story. Some of the beginning paths will be similar or the same as I thought that the starting paths were very logical on how a system should start. The stories will be completely different as the characters and story arcs will be completely different. Again, thank you Puddles for allowing me to use your system, really appreciate it! I also wanted to thank ProFound Magician. Has a lot of insight into a story development and as his system is based on Ghosthound, I saw a some beginning stage skills that should be thought of in a character just starting out. If you haven't yet read Ghosthound or Genesis System you're in for a real treat when you do! Thank you both I hope my use is seen as an homage in the beginning. Hopefully my story can live up to the system.

8 204The Last Journey
A slice of life litrpg story... or is it? It's burning slow, though. Moving on: War comes with a great cost. Lives and time wasted for most part. One could either be run with sword, be poisoned, be bowed, and sometimes meet their end with just a tiny speck of wood. With magic, it becomes even more colorful. From lightning, to worse poison, to hovering rocks, to weird bladed leaves, to whipping roots, and to a lot more odd things easily reasoned with magic. A wonderful creation. But once used to something more than wonder, more than tricks to gather laughs, it becomes worse. War becomes worse. For there is not only blood to be spilled. A particular town almost met the same end. Soldiers geared with swrords and bows came with mounts. Horses burning lush grasses as it cracked boulders and the soil alike with every step. The kind that only war ones could ever do. Even strange wheeled creations that oozed danger were towed, loaded with something meant to destroy. But not once had they acted upon what such devices should've done, nor what an an army is supposed to do. Siege never occurred, as much as a command to war. No. Magic existed so a simple little fire is all the worth the town has. No sword drawn, no arrows nocked, nothing. Just some mana spent and through the ash they march. That was how Nudius saw her end. It came not even as a surprise. She didn't have the moment to fully register what occurred before she found herself in an empty dark space. Life lost, time spent. All from a fire that had not even touched her. But she knew very well that it was magic. Something she wished to have and strived for to have. Yet it seemed that none of it would matter now. Nudius was well aware of what the color around meant, of the odd situation, of the unfeeling state of her being. It was death and that was it. She didn't have to worry or dream further. Although there wasn't what she truly wanted in what death to her is, but at least, Nudius was comforted to what she believed death is. Rest. But little did she know there's something more than that empty space. It wasn't only the promise of rest, but was also more than she could ever hope for. Another chance at life. Another chance to dream. ***Tags are there just in case. You never know! Umm... HI-MI-TSU. Story blurb+: This is slow burn, quite slice of life story about a girl learning magic. All the while as she fatten herself up. So yeah, progression fantasy. But there's Litrpg! Numbers! Magic! Spells! And of course! There's something more. But read on ahead, please. Oh yes. Plot! There is, too. Disclaimer: The cover isn't made by me. Just layered it with a text. I got it from a free website, if I correctly recall. I'll see to it. (Haven't worked on it.)
