[Fire Tentacles] [Tier 3]

[Earthquake] [Tier 5]

[Water Whip] [Tier 0]

[Stone Bullet] [Tier 1]

[Ice Knife] [Tier 2]

Noah looked at the five spells he had 'learned'. He had no idea what they were, what they would do, or how to activate them, but here he was… he had 'learned' them. For god knows what reason, he had gotten the same quest five times now and he also somehow managed to finish it all five times by combing the big history book from end to end.

Now there were no more spells left in the book. "Am I going to get the same quest again?" Noah blinked and waited for the system to respond. And a second later, it did.

[Ding. You have leveled up]

[Ding. You have received 2 additional stat points]

[Ding. You have received 1 skill point]

[Ding. Bonus reward 1 skill point for fast level up]

Noah's eyes almost popped out of the socket as he stared at these bizarre messages. Granted seeing a screen flash in front of him was in itself something bizarre but this one took it to the next level. "Sheesh. No more quests now? I actually got stat points and skill points? This is not like a game system. This is a game system."

"Uf. Alright. I should see how the effect of these points is." Noah opened his status screen again to take a look. This, thankfully, was very intuitive so all he had to do was will it.

Noah stared at the 2 stat points and 2 skill points he had received from leveling up. Stat points he understood but he did not quite grasp what the skill points were about. What can these be used for? He searched the system menu up and down but nothing was there. "Well, I guess I can worry about this later." He first wanted to try out the one that he was currently able to use! The stat points!

"Each of my stats already have 5 points in them. Now I have 2 more that I can distribute among these. Which should I focus on? Strength? I guess it is always useful to have more strength… Vitality is good. Stamina is also good. Intellect… hmmm… will this actually improve my intelligence? Defense is also good."

Noah's eyes then lastly fell on the final attribute, Agility. His eyes then hovered over this particular attribute without moving on. This was the thing that caught his attention the most as right now, this was the thing that could be most useful to him.

Noah did not have any delusions. The current him was extremely weak. So instead of adding those two points to strength perhaps adding them to agility would be more useful and helpful to him. Maybe after leveling up again, he could add the next points to strength. But that was something to think about later.

Noah quickly tapped and added the two points to agility. He wanted to see the effects. And just like he expected, he was not let down. Almost instantly he felt an odd sensation sweeping across his body. It was just a fleeting sensation but after that, it was as if his body had gotten lighter.

"Woah! Nice!" Noah forgot where he was and stood up in excitement. Thankfully, his roommate still had his head buried in the dirty mags so he was safe. He let out a small sigh of relief and then looked towards the door. "Hmmm. I need to test this out."

Noah hesitated for a second and then he was out of the door. There were school training grounds that he could use to run around for a bit to really feel the change in his body. And in this place, even in the nighttime, there should probably be one or two out training? So he assumed it was fine and walked over to the school grounds.

Just like he thought, it was very well lit and there were in fact several people training. Noah took a deep breath and started running. "Damn!" His lips curled upwards another inch with every step he took. He was really fast. He could feel it. It was freeing and amazing to run like this. The pleasant breeze grazed his face, carrying along with it the small sweat beads that dripped down on the sides.

Huff. Huff. Huff. Noah continued running. He did one whole lap but he still kept going, really wanting to move his body. For the whole of last week, he was too shocked and confused and did not even step out of his room. So after being cooped up like that, this felt heavenly. Noah grinned, his endorphins pumping up, as he finished another lap. But just as he was about to take the next step, another quest popped up.

[Ding. New Quest Available]

[Ding. Quest: Run 20 miles continuously]

[Ding. Reward: 100 experience points; 1 stat point]

"You… are… kidding… me… right? 20 miles? This thing is going to take forever to complete!" Noah frowned but he was also glad that he got another quest, not to mention a very good reward, some experience points, and a stat point!

With this, he could increase his agility again if he wanted to! The quest was indeed good. Though it was crazy to aim to run 20 miles with his body, it was not as crazy as the learning spells quest. On the other hand, the spells quest was rather easy to complete. This one was going to take some effort. Could he even do it? "I guess I will try and find out."

Noah was thinking of taking some rest and starting but then he saw the quest go from 0/20 to 5/20. So he chucked out his thoughts about rest and continued running. He kept a solid but relaxing pace so that he didn't get tired out soon. His form was good and his strides were average, neither too short, nor too long. Everything was going smoothly.

Noah continued running without feeling any burden. Perhaps he could really finish it? But he was wrong… as soon as he hit the 10th mile, the tiredness and the weight of his body really started to sink in. A couple more miles later, his legs were crying. His muscles were screaming. And when he finally hit the 15th mile mark, he literally wanted to collapse on the ground. This quest suddenly felt impossible to complete!

Noah gritted his teeth and tried to keep running and it was at this point that he heard another familiar voice. "He He He! Would you look at that? Our school hero is running! Training so hard even though it's already nighttime!"

"Noah! Noah! Noah!"

Whistle. Whistle.

"Are you training to run away? Good. Good. That's probably the only thing you can do!"
