《The Ghost》Chapter 3. You are Overthinking bro!

First floor.
The boy stared at the interface screen in front of him, he thought about the goblins and looked at the girl, "Selena, you should keep going on upgrading the intelligence." The boy said before staring back at the interface screen in front of him.

Leo upgraded his perception stat and his sense of danger increased, he saw his sister was about to step on the stairs leading to the second floor. "Stop!" Selene who was about to step on the stairs turned her head and looked at her brother, above her head was a question mark.
"Don't go there, it's dangerous!"
Leo said since he upgraded the perception stat he could feel dangerous energy above him, which is obviously the second floor. Maybe a monster was hiding there... at that thought, Leo's heart skips a beat. Selena nodded her head she trusted his brother because he was the one who perceives danger, earlier he notices something is wrong and they started to ran who knew he hit the nail, a horde of goblins was waiting for them!
"Quick, upgrade your intelligence!"
Leo said this sister of his was always following him, he was carrying a heavy burden when they are in danger, he can only hope that they will get stronger so that those monsters will need to think twice before messing with them. Selena pouted but stared at the interface screen that appeared in front of her.

"Done!"
Selena said while her brother Leo was looking around, not far from them was Marcus who had a strange expression on his face. These two also had systems? had system became cabbage? It seemed the people also have systems. Marcus tried to catch their stats but it was useless, he was staring at the air while they were looking at their system, which means the security and privacy were top notch!
If Marcus saw the additional Agility stat he would surely complain, others have agility stat while he doesn't have one. Thinking for a bit Marcus thought of the system and the familiar interface screen appeared in front of him, this time there were some changes.
[ Host: Marcus
Level 2: 100xp/300xp
Race: Ghost
Health: N/A
Mana: N/A
Strength: N/A
Intelligence: 50
Vitality: N/A
Perception: N/A
Stamina: N/A
Current points: 1 ]
Marcus now leveled up! one goblin was ten xp and he wiped out twenty of them so he gained 200xp! Wow, that's a lot, but how should he spend these precious points? Actually, was there a need for a strategy on spending points? he only has intelligence so of course, he tapped on the plus button beside the intelligence stat and it rose to 51.
Marcus felt his mind... nothing actually change, oh my gosh did I get scammed!?
As Marcus was thinking about this strange phenomenon his ears perked up when he heard what the two people said. He knew that boy's name is Leo while his sister is Selena, anyway they are kids in his eyes.
The world change?
A strange object would reach the earth in one year?
All the people have systems? I already knew that.
Monster started to appear and once they killed them they would be stronger?
As I thought something happened!

Marcus was impassive, anyway what that got to do with me, if I can get out of this house I would fight with monsters and get stronger!
While Marcus was bathing in his imaginations, Leo had a solemn expression.
"Sister, tomorrow we will get out of this house and see if we can find some food."
Selena nodded her head, actually, she wants to stay in this house although it looked old she felt some security. Maybe since the goblins suddenly died so she thinks that this house is safe. But Leo was completely different, it was better to get out of this house as fast as possible. Dangers are lurking in this house, however, it was dangerous to go outside.
Time passed, and night came.
Leo and his sister were now staying in the house, Selena was sleeping on the sofa while Leo was awake, what if a monster suddenly popped out and attack them? or what if a boss appeared and they would get killed? If Marcus knew his thoughts he would just shake his head. You are overthinking bro!
Marcus looked at the two again and stepped into the stairs.
. . .
Second Floor.
Marcus stared at the stars, now he was not alone but that Leo wants to get out of his house tomorrow. How envious, they can come and go while he can't get out of this house. Haiz stars look at me I am so pitiful.
Since he was bored he thought of the system and the interface screen appeared, he swipes it and the skill tree showed up.
[ Skill Tree.
Cold element level 1 to upgrade level 2 needs 20 points.
Icy Snake level 1 to upgrade lv 2 needs 10 points.
Current points: 0 ]
0 points, do the points on the skill tree and status connected? Marcus would try this if he leveled up, if it's connected he would not upgrade the intelligence stat because there was really no point. Apart from being scammed the intelligence points is already high. He would focus on the two skills, especially the Icy Snake.
. . .
The sun rose and light enveloped the surroundings, Leo and his sister already got out of the house while Selena gave the house a last look before following her brother. Marcus didn't need to sleep because it's useless. He doesn't feel tired so he watches night turned to day, on the window he watched the two figures that slowly blurred as they ran into the distance.
"Tree, we are alone again."
Marcus thought before deciding to start an experiment, he thought that Icy Snake skill has some flaw, it could only move forward what if the enemy was fast? Thinking about assassins Marcus immediately began.
"Icy snake."
The blue circle turned into cyan and the blue snake that appeared also turned into cyan, its eyes were pure cyan one look from it could induce fear. What happened? Marcus looked at the changes then watch as the Cyan snake launched itself to the wall.
The wall that was frozen slowly freeze it was like adding two layers of ice. Now Marcus made the walls tough so he will find it harder to get out of this house... damn!
