Chapter 3.

**Ada Adds New Stats.**

Ender's 3rd day alive begun in earnest as the light of the sun had shone through his shack. Waking up he had followed Ada's orders and performed some morning hygienics, something he was unfamiliar with. But according to Ada it is a necessary habit to develop.

{I will not have my reincarnation be a boorish, uncouth slob! You will brush those teeth and wash every single inch of your body!}

Ender just shrugs and follows her directions, "...ok."

{I will also remind you that I am going to use the CCS to properly educate you in basic knowledge. Back in my past life I was a college graduate who went on to be a high school biology teacher. While I cannot teach you much about the male body, I sure as hell can tell you about females.}

Ender tilts his eat while munching on a cookie and asked, "... Why do I need to know about a girl's body?"

{... Sigh! I forgot your only physically 5 years old now. The birds and the bees can wait until your much older.}

Ender silently nods before finishing up his breakfast cookie dessert.

Afterwards, he goes onto his early morning sprint to level up his skill for the next hour and returns for a short rest. Ada chimes in with some of her personal updates to his CCS stats.

{While you were running I did a basic scan of your body's conditioning and updated your statistics based on the CCS parameters. Check it out.}

Ender brings up the inventory and clicks on his portrait to bring up his status and finds new options available.

[Ender.

Race: Enderman.

Age: 5.

Body: 5/100.

Magic: 0/100.]

Reading his basic status he nods before asking Ada for an explanation of what these stats entail.

{Your body determines how strong you are in comparison to the strongest beings on this planet. While I do not know what world this is I can sense the current most powerful being alive, thus allowing me to estimate your current level.}

"I am level 5..."

{Correct! But the amazing part is that in this world the average untrained adult is around level 5-20. A normal 5 years old child would be no more than level 1. That is a human child. A newborn Enderman starts out at level 5 so the untrained adult tends to be 10-30.}

"Cool..."

{You betcha it's cool! Enderman are the strongest non-modded mobs in Minecraft! No enchanted diamond gear and they will waste you in 1-3 hits easy! Their levels are higher than human's by 2x.

But of course this is only the basic body's level. Strength, endurance, stamina, speed, flexibility, and the like. This is in no form a measurement of a person's combat ability. Skill levels determine that.}

"... What of the magic level?" Ender asks.

{Magic level determines how potent your magical ability is. Considering you have no magics available currently there is no way to level it up yet.}

He understanfingly nods, "What about my racial skills?"

{While technically magical in nature, they do not count as magics. A Creeper's natural ability to detonate does not count as magic either.}

"... Whats a creeper?"

{Anyways! We will try and figure out the magic thing later on! Worry about leveling up your skills and body level. I'll try and see about adding on some experience levels at a later Ada.}

"Ok, Ada. Thanks..."

Ender rushes off into his hidden training grounds for some grinding.

...

**Skill Grinding Against Mobs.**

Knowing that his skills were not going to quickly raise just by exercising them Ada orders Ender to access the mob category of the creative page of the CCS.

Here Ender finds numerous different colored eggs for different hostile mobs that existed in Minecraft. Vanilla or modded. She instructed him to call out a number of the disgusting rotten pale green looking eggs.

Filling up his inventory with the eggs. Ender takes one into his hand and scrunches his his nose trying to ignore the putrid odor from the egg.

"Smells bad... Need a bath after this..."

{I wholeheartedly agree.}

Rearing back Ender throws the egg hard and watches as the egg explodes in a puff of smoke. In it's place is the most disgusting looking and smelling thing he would probably ever see.

"It somehow spells worse now than it did as an egg..." Ender complains rightfully so. What appeared from the spawn egg was a lifeless shambling humanoid figure with festered rotten skin, some missing revealing bone and hanging organs. It's eye pale without life. Clothing tattered and aged.

Groaning and moaning as it shuffles around searching for fresh living flesh to devour endlessly.

A zombie.

{Ugh... In reality they look worse than the pixelated blocks from the game! Please for the love of Notch, kill it!}

Gulping down some spit nervously Ender adjust his knuckle wraps and gets into a loose fighting stance.

As if it senses Ender's challenge, the zombie looks at the boy and lets out a louder groan before shambling at him surprisingly faster than he had expected.

The zombie strikes out clumsily at Ender. He steps back to avoid it and counters it by punching the zombie hard in the face causing it to stumble back. Ender then rushes in for another punch to the face followed by a hard kick to the zombie's knee tripping it to the ground.

*Crack!*

An audible crack can be heard as the zombie's knee shatters. Not wanting to give it a chance to retaliate, Ender blinks above it's head to try and punch it again.

{Careful!}

Upon Ada's warning the zombie suddenly grab's Ender's leg and yanks him to the ground. Startled, Ender struggles and winches in pain as the zombie takes a bite out of his calf.

"ARGH!"

He manages to struggle loose from his foe not before it takes a chunk of flesh from his leg, leaving a nasty gaping wound in it's place.

*Munch!*

*Groans*

The undead menace chews the chunk of flesh it had ripped out of Ender and swallows it before moaning and reaching for him for another bite.

"..."

Glaring at the zombie. Ender stumbles back to his feet and delivers a kick that knocks the rotten hand away and curb stomps it's head a few more times splattering putrid flesh, blood, bone, and brain matter everywhere. Soon the zombie stops moving completely.

*Heavy breathing*

Ender is out of breath and covered in sweat, resisting the throbbing pain from his leg where he was bitten. The zombie is head, far tougher than he expected but not too threatening. It was not that it was difficult to kill, but Ender has no experience and may have gotten a little careless.

He comes to wonder, "Why does a 5 years old need to fight adult sized zombies?"

{Sorry, but you need to fight something to raise your levels. Just training and leveling up is not enough. You need actual life and death experience. Plus we know that your skills increase faster. If you want to cheese it just blink the hell out if your foes.}

"I forgot about that. If your born with it, it's not cheating to use it..."

{Exactly!}

Sitting down Ender takes out some cooked chicken to eat and watches as his wound slowly heals. The flesh stitching itself back together.

{Your probably the only person in the world who can heal just by eating.}

Until lunch Ender would fight against the zombies he spawned from the eggs. It was not just his hand-to-hand he used. Sometimes he would use a sword, a dagger, a trident, and even a bow and arrow. His accuracy left alot to be desired but his arrows eventually took a zombie down after turning it into a pin cushion.

Unlike Minecraft logics, headshots are required to kill a zombie! Double taps sometimes too.

...

**Different Kinds of Zombies.**

Ender spent a few days fighting zombies to increase his combat skill levels. They were increasing fast and his combat instincts were beginning to come in. At least when it comes to the mobs known as zombies.

He knows that his combat experience wont increase with only zombies, single or more. Ada herself did not need to tell him that. He understood clearly when the growth of his swords skill stagnated at level 10.

{Hm... It won't go up anymore. Maybe you need to use other types of swords, or perhaps a higher tiered sword.}

"I guess I can try a new kind of sword. This one is getting kind of dull..." He says examining his sword, noticing a few chips and a dulled edge.

They discovered that the crafting screen can be blown up to add more squares to build much large items. So Ender crafts a much larger sword visualizing the image of a bastard sword Ada gave him. Thus resulting in his first two handed sword.

Unfortunately... Ender's small frame and weak body was currently not able to carry it. So he made a sword in the visualization of a sword Ada remembered from some "game" she called Fire Emblem.

Falchion I believe she called it.

Fortunately it bypassed his stagnated level growth and he can train anew.

As Ender uses another spawn egg to bring forth a new zombie to fight. This one seemed different than the previous ones. It was wearing an iron helmet. Something told Ender that this zombie may be tougher than the others.

"This zombie has a piece of armor..."

{It does... I think I got it! The eggs will spawn zombies of varying difficulty randomly. You were lucky with the RNG so far. You might start encountering hardcore mode zombies soon, they can have full armor and carry weapons.}

"... That sounds scary." Ender comments.

{Oh, it is. But with the levels you get from fighting them I think it will be worth it.}

Ender readies himself for some more difficult zombie battles in the days to come. From the spawn eggs he had fought plain zombies, partially armored zombies, and even fully armored zombies. Some zombies carried a sword, some axes, some knives, he even fought one with a diamond hoe.

Some zombies were missing limbs, some zombies were faster than others, some took more than a few hits to the head to kill. There was even a baby zombie that ran as fast as a drug addict!

Worst yet was a lumbering giant zombie that terrified both Ender and Ada! Needless to say, Ender cheesed the fight with blinks and cloaks. Fighting that beast was a test of patience.

For some reason Ada played a catchy tune called, "Linked Horizon - Guren No Yumiya." When Ender fought the giant zombie. He didn't know why.

The second hardest fight for Ender zombie wise happened to be a zombie fully decked out in diamond armor. It also carried a two handed diamond war hammer and tried really hard to smash Ender into a meaty paste.

Soon enough his growth from zombies stagnated and he would need a new foe to face for experience.

To be continued...
