Chapter 19: Power-Up

Lucas entered the library at the hour of the interval of his own free will. After confirming that the books increased his Mental Power, he became practically a nerd.

At first, he only needed to read 150 pages to increase his Mental Power by 1 point. After 1500 pages, he had to start reading double the pages to increase 1 point. And so on, the number increased.

Now, he needed to read more than 20 books to be able to increase his Mental Power 1 point.

At the same time, his intelligence increased rapidly. He was beginning to remember more clearly what he was experiencing.

He did not bother joining classmates at break time as he had something far more important to do. Read.

If it were him a week ago, he would have laughed in the face of the person who told him that he would be reading books voluntarily.

Lucas spent the 40-minute break in the library reading small books.

...

Melissa looked at the building in front of her in the car.

She was tidy. New clothes, new hair, new jewelry. Besides being beautiful, Melissa looked like a successful woman in her life.

"Status."

.....

Name: Melissa Mason

Level: 0 | EXP: 0%

Class: Awakened

Title: none

HP: 50 | MP: 20

Vitality: 5

Strength: 12

Dexterity: 9

Mental Power: 2

Magic Power: 3

Attributes Points: 832

Skill Points: 0

.....

Your initial attributes were higher than Liam's.

She had not yet distributed any of her free points. It was only 13 hours since she acquired this fraud skill and she already had more than 800 free points.

His decision was swift. 400 on Strength, 200 on Dexterity, 100 on Vitality, 100 on Mental Power and 32 on Magic Power.

She, a level 0, was already stronger than most awakened.

Then she got out of the car and faced the National Congress Palace.

...

Meanwhile, Leon was looking at a 20-story building that was for sale. This would be the headquarters of the guild in Brazil. He still had to think of a guild name.

Although his members were of other nationalities, he as leader had the right and advantage of choosing the place.

...

"Luana, who is your new friend?" A boy who must have been about the same age as Liam, or even older, approached them at the table where they were in the cafeteria.

Liam looked at him. He seemed to be a sportsman. Good looking and definitely rich and awakened.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

Luana turned to the boy and smirked.

"Marcus, what do I owe you for this unwelcome visit?"

Marcus, as the light-brown-haired man called himself, frowned. He was accompanied by more than 3 awaken. A blonde girl and a black boy.

"Are you still irritated? I already told you it did not mean anything..."

"If you're angry, you mean I want to use my gardening scissors on what's between your legs, so yes, I'm irritated. I'm redheaded, but I'm not a sucker. Betrayal, I resolve with castration!"

Liam can not help but swallow dry, just like Marcus and the black boy. The blond, beautiful, blue-eyed girl had a smile on her face.

Luana looked serious.

"It's all over between us!"

Liam waited for the cliché scene where Marcus would say no, then he would turn his attention to Liam and threaten him, and so he would end up getting involved in this teenage drama, but to his surprise, Marcus sighed before speaking:

"I understand. I made a bad mistake... Can we at least be... friends?"

"We have a 5-year history, so I will not rule it out... But, remember that I can do it at any time, to regret being born..." Her gaze was cold and scary.

What the hell is wrong with the women in my life?

"Believe me, I know."

"Good. Now, answering your previous question, this is Liam. New student. He's in the Top 15. His big brother is in the Top 5. And no, I'm not interested in him in a romantic way... No offense."

Liam shrugged.

"No offense."

"Liam, these are Marcus, Jessica and Paul. As you can see, they are also awakened. Marcus is level 47. Jessica is level 33. Paul is level 42." Luana made the introductions.

"Hi." Liam gave a slight nod.

"Hello, how are you?" Jessica blatantly sat down next to Liam making him uncomfortable.

"Well, I guess..."

"Jessica, put out the fire. Not everyone is scoundrel like certain people..." Her gaze rested on Marcus.

"No offense, but I'm not interested. Please respect my personal space." Liam said moving away from Jessica.

A disconcerting look passed over Jessica before she got a little confused.

"Are you gay?"

"I do not know."

"How did you...?"

"I've never felt physical attraction to anyone. Maybe I'm asexual? You know..." Liam shrugged and finished the apple.

Marcus sat on the other side of the table and Paul was between Marcus and Luana. A half-awkward silence hung over the table.

...

When Liam got home from Lucas, he went straight to the bedroom. After that, he started to open the lower rank chests.

He had deposited 70% of the chests of each rank in the free rooms, so his mother and Lucas could open them whenever they wanted. 15% of the chests he gave to Leon and the remaining 15% stayed with him.

In his inventory, he had just over 700 Rank-G chests.

He received countless Blood Core, Skills books and equipment. There was a lot that could be helpful to him, but Liam had no interest in wearing jewelry or equipment. He could not wait to get strong enough that he no longer needed to wear armor when hunting for demons.

He received some title scrolls as well. Unlike the skills that there was a limit of how many he could have, the title had no limits. The only limit was how many he could keep active at the same time. The limit was 5.

He opened 150 Rank-G chests all together before deciding to focus on the Rank-F chests.

It did not change much, except that the skills he earned were all of Rank-F.

He also received several scrolls. Some were treasure maps indicating a particular place in the Neutral Dimension.

In all, out of 675 Rank-F chests, he opened 150.

He had 600 Rank-E, 450 Rank-D chests, Rank-C 345, Rank-B 300, Rank-A 270, Rank-S, 500 Rank-SS and 50 Rank-SSS. Everyone still had to be opened.

With the exception of the chests above Rank-A, Leon had the same amount in his inventory. Let's not forget that there were 5 rooms with chests.

He opened 150 Rank-E chests.

Of these 150 trunks, 3 gave him multiplication scrolls. He did not use them, because at the moment he had nothing to use.

He also received parchments for titles, skills and equipment. The titles, of all chests, Liam learned without hesitation. Some even gave him skills.

He received no scroll of desire.

It had been over 4 hours. The sun would set at any moment, but still he continued.

He opened 150 chests of each rank, with the exception of Rank-S chests and above.

Of Rank-A's Chests, he won 2 scrolls of desire, which surprised him, but as he already knew, he could not use them any more. He shrugged, still had his mother and Lucas to use them.

He went to Luke's room and gave him a parchment of desire and advised him to wish for infinite mana, since there was probably still a free slot for the 7 possible users.

Lucas tried, but at the time, being the lazy he is, he thought of the work he would have to do to level and shiver.

"Infinite EXP..."

And, good. You should already know what happened. A new column popped below his level on his status screen written "EXP Power-Up: Infinity" where he could at any time use to level up.

"..."

Liam did not know whether to laugh or cry. What kind of monsters were your family becoming?

Sighing, he returned to the room and continued to open the chests, but this time, he opened his first Rank-S chest.

.....

Hunter Blood

.....

This was the first item Liam received from the first chest that opened Rank-S.

Despite being someone with a magical interest, Liam was shaken by this sword that seemed to have come out of an RPG game.

Knowing that even if he really wanted to use this sword, it would take a long time for this, he decided to continue to open the chests.
