《Offworld》Exploration 3

Before him now was his status page. It showed his physical attributes along with his spirit and affinity.
From what he had just learned from the blue gem the place he had just been was his soul, and the gem was just a container for some type of energy.
My body has somewhat mutated by the cosmic entity that had fought the blue shield when I was in contact with it. Now I could absorb energy from organic things and turn it into some kind of energy beneficial to my body when absorbed and if my body couldn’t absorb all the energy it got stored into the blue gem.
That energy that was stored in the gem could now be used to raise my physical stats or spirit. The way that worked was that I had to concentrate on the stat of my choosing, and will it to increase which in return the energy that was stored in the gem would lessen by how much I increased a stat. The higher the stat the more of the energy was consumed.
Physique was represented by muscle density, and the size of my body.
Dexterity was represented by the flexibility of my limbs especially my hands.
Coordination was represented by the ability to use different parts of my body smoothly and efficiently.
Sturdiness was represented by my overall bone functionality especially bone density, and the functionality of my organs.
Spirit was the physical manifestation of my soul and mid, the bigger my spirit was the better my memory, my cognition, and my deductions were. Also I was less susceptible from any type of mind reading, illusions or soul attacks.
As for my affinity, that one was still unknown for the moment.
The stats were very helpful .Out of the whole of them my highest was my spirit at 8 and my lowest were my coordination and sturdiness at 3 each. Well that was normal taking into consideration that I didn't really do any physical activity like going to the gym or playing any sports that often.

My physique was at 4, really average and my dexterity at 6 because I really liked to stretch for like five minutes every day trying to keep as nimble as possible.
From this I gathered that the average of someone my age was about five points and the maximum was ten.
The way my stats were raised was by stimulating that part of the body, for example if I raised my physique what would happen was that the energy that was stored in the blue gem would start to break down my muscles and then heal them rapidly which in turn will make them stronger. For sturdiness it affects my bone density by making my bones stronger but also makes my bone marrow more efficient, which in turn makes me more healthy but most important was regenerating faster from wounds (platelets) , having a better immune system (white blood cells) stronger to fight any strange disease or virus in this unknown world, and lastly for the icing on the cake, more faster, and more efficient oxygen intake (red blood cells) which would make me less tired after any long lasting physical activity for example battle.
I also could learn certain types of skills which I would be trying later.
This system was really a godsend in this moment.
By reasoning, and from what I saw in today’s exploration, the forest was a very dangerous place for me as I am now. From the size of the carcasses I saw, the animals in this world were very big, at least 2-3 times bigger than that of earth, which would mean I was but a little snack in their eyes.
For now any creature in the vicinity of the crater had either died from the impact of the crash or has fled in fright from the loud noise, but after some time those animals would come back to reclaim their territory and when they do I would be prepared.

After looking at the system for a while and not finding anything else I decided to take a well deserved rest.
....
After I woke up I noticed that the sun was setting .I looked at my wrist watch and found that around six hours had passed. That made the daylight cycle here about 18 hours from my calculations, making it longer than earth's.
The next thing I did was to raise some of my stats, and the first stat I choose was coordination. If I was going to fight anything in this new world I had to be able to use my body more smoothly and efficiently.
I sat down again and opened my system interface, focused on coordination and after a while the energy in the gem started to lessen.
I felt a warm stream enveloping my body which after a few seconds focused in my eyes, muscles, joints, brain and spine. This whole thing lasted for about 15 minutes and when I woke up I immediately felt the difference. Firstly my balance was better than before making me very happy. Balance was useful in any kind of situation, and secondly my body movements felt smoother than before especially my hand-eye coordination.
Next was my sturdiness.
This time it was different, it felt like something was nibbling my bones from inside out for example a colony of ants. All my organs were heating up making me feel like I was on fire. My body looked like it was boiling, my skin had turned a very deep shade of red almost like blood and it hurt like a motherfucker.
This time it took longer about 25 minutes and let me tell you those 25 minutes felt like an eternity. There weren’t any really noticeable changes, but what stood out was that my vision was better.
That was really some Spiderman shit right there.
My vision before was not that good at 10/20 and that’s was why I had glasses. This was also very important because if my glasses broke or lost somewhere I would be left a half blind in an alien world with the sight of a sixty year old man.
From those two stat raises I consumed about 1/10 of my stored energy.
I wanted to also raise my other stats but the improvement of my sturdiness took a toll on my body. I was dead tired and all I could think was taking a long relaxing sleep.
I went to my bed staggering a little and fell right in it face first and slowly fell asleep smiling, looking at my updated status page.
