After Laiz had settled in at his new room, he straight away experimented with his new found powers as well as the system.

The first thing he wanted to discuss with himself was his senses.

Since arriving to this world Laiz felt everything around him. The only reason he was caught by suprise by the libararian lady was because of how she addressed him and because he was 'feeling' too much things at the same time.

Laiz had a good idea on what the root of his senses are.

'It has to be from Elemental Affinity'

What Laiz noticed about his senses was that it did not use an organ to function. Instead it felt like the elements around him were communicating with him. The trees, earth, air. He could feel everything the elements around him felt.

Laiz found his new senses beneficial, IF he were to increase his intelligence as the only set back it had right now was it's large constant amount of information the user has to process.

This leads to a question for Laiz: How do you increase stats?

Laiz only had a vague sense on how to increase his stats as he skimmed through the information previously given to him. Which was understandble as some people would run ahead to an adventure with nothing on them due to exitement.

Anyway, Laiz thought this was a good time to read through the help section.

On the help section was a familiar panel containing questions the user may have towards the system.

The first few lines involved on how to open the system panels and an option telling him to either set the trigger to be verbal or with thought.

Obviously, Laiz choose to set it to open by thought as he did not want to be seen as an idiot in public.

What Laiz found about skills was different from the usual in the mind of Laiz. The Skills section allowed skills that is on the list a boost in stats that is associated with said skill. To have skills listed on the panel, Laiz has to show a certain amount of mastery in the skill or use skill books found from the Shop. The level will show his mastery starting from one.

The function of this section seemed to have been toned down compared to others Laiz read about. This section only helped his stats and not his comprehension, this means that he has to learn the skills manually and no level up's that will correct his mistakes. Of course there was the skill books but, each cost a lot of points. Points that had WAY too much zeros compared to his measly amount of 100 pt.

'.. Ok'

Although it wasn't as overpowered as Laiz would have liked, he gave no complaints.

A flip from that was Laiz's discovery of the Ability section. The Ability panel stored all his powers. Right now he had two: Book of Knowledge and Elemental Affinity. The exciting part of this was, it had it's own category in the Shop. In it, had abilities found in games and shows as well as a few originals.

There were many things in Laiz mind, particularly: SHARINGAN!! BYAKUGAN!! RINNEGAN!!!! TECHNIQUES!!!

Laiz mouth watered when he thought of ALL the ABILITIES he could get.

He could grind for weeks just to get a single one of those but, currently he had limited methods of collecting points.

This was because this world lacked monsters. In the help section, it was said that you could get points by: Leveling up, getting achievements and killing monsters.

Killing monsters was highlighted in Laiz's head as it affects the other two significantly. Now he was kind of regretting choosing this world. (So am I)

Well.. Laiz did not worry to much about this as there was something that he kept in mind when he decided to go to this world. (My solution)

Back to the subject, Laiz found out that to increase his stats, he needed to challenge himself. For example, when excercising past his limits he will receive a stat in strength and when studying to his limits he will receive a stat in inteligence.

An alternative was to use Stat Points (SP). Five SP is gained every level, currently he was level 14, which meant he had 70 SP.

He decided to hold on those points and grind manually until the benefits of the method bacame scarce.

At the back right corner of a hall was a room, in it was a person surrounded by many stacked and scattered books while a ray of light was radiating from a small opening of the curtains. This person was Laiz.

A week before this time, after getting himself informed and ready, he tried to read the skill book the system gave him. But, the result wasn't as he expected AND definately not as he wanted it to be.

When Laiz touched the book, ready and excited to learn about the energies around him, he was met by an unpleasant panel:

- - - - - - - - - - -

!!!

This Book requires 100 Intelligence and 60 Wisdom to learn.

!!!

- - - - - - - - - - -

At that time, Laiz's stats was as followed: Str 11, Agi 13, Dex 16, Int 25 and Wis 18

His Int and Wis wan't even CLOSE to that required number. Laiz, as if he ate something bitter, remembered his expression when he first found this out.

First was a sad smile for acceptance, second was a grimace for realisation and the final was him sulking as he imagined the hell he was gonna go through.

Laiz might of liked reading but.. Studying was something he would not voluntarily do unless needed to. He still had those scars from his time in school and university. He really didn't want to this..

..............

.. After a week of meeting his old friend, study, Laiz's Intelligence stat jumped to 104 while his Wisdom stat now lied in 82

Even for Laiz, reading for that long was tiring. Luckily, he was able to find subjects he was interested in. That atleast put some enjoyment in reading all those books.

Another good point was he got some new skills from all that reading. Although some weren't as heaven defying as his abilities, it was still a plus for Laiz.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Reading - lvl 32: 60%

- Increases Int and Wis by 2 each level when reading.

Martial Arts - lvl 30: 99.9%

- Increases Str, Agi and Dex stats by 15% when using Martial Arts

Gardening - lvl 5: 57%

- Dex stat is increased by 2 points each level.

Zone - lvl 43: 32%

- Wis and Int is used to absolute limit for a period of time.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Laiz's Reading skill levelled up many times throughout the week as expected from reading countless books in a span of a week. This skill was very much appreciated by Laiz as it gave his Int and Wis a 50+ boost when reading.

Laiz was very interested in Martial Arts and read many books about the subject, he looked through Krav Maga, Taekwondo, and a few more. As a result all the different styles, including his Boxing, was fused into a single skill which was now Martial Arts. Though at this point it was worth noting that it was all knowledge and no experience, which is probably the cause in the skill stopping in level 30.

Gardening.. Laiz has reached new height when it came to loving nature. He now knew how to take care of many kinds of plants.. That's all.

The Zone skill was something Laiz did not see coming.

The Zone was a skill in which was similar to his reading skill, except, he can use it on any task.

As to how Laiz got this.. It was most likely from reading. He knew a bit of the term 'Zone' due to a certain show and have experienced it many times back on his old world.

From what he saw it was the same as he knew it as. The Zone allows the user to enhance their skills by being in a state of absolute focus. During this state, the user's sense of time is gone and all unnecassary thoughts or actions are terminated to achieve the goal of the task.

The difference from what he knew was that, he could activate the Zone at anytime during any task after reaching level 40.

'This is OP!' - That was what Laiz thought after experiencing this skill.

'This is.. Broken' - That was what Laiz thought after reaching level 40 in the skill. Though despite his thought at the time, a big grin that made Maou and Ashiya jealous for unknown reasons was on Laiz's face.

Oh!

That brings things to a new topic. The two idiots was now his neigboor. Laiz was not caught off-guard by this as it was the reason he moved here after all.

They moved in about two days ago.. *Flashback

Laiz just woke up from a good night sleep after another crazy day of reading when suddenly he heard a commotion in the hallway.

Laiz opened his curtain just enough for one of his eye to see. Who he saw was four people, it was Maou, Ashiya, a random agent AND Miki-T.

It seemed like Ashiya and Maou were as horrified as he was when first meeting Miki-T, just that their reaction was so much more exagerated that it was comical.

Well, Laiz couldn't blame them. The only reason he was able to keep his face straight was because he was awesome.. Though, there may have been a tinyyyy twitch in his expression then, he was STILL awesome.

Laiz waited for them to finish their conversation and leave as he did not want to confront the formidable monster there.

After sometime Maou and Ashiya finally decided and settled for this place.

When Miki-T and the agent was gone, Laiz walked up to his new neighbors and greeted them with a polite smile.

"Hello, my name is Laiz Green, are you two staying here?"
