Ever since my parents died I have lived alone, I attend the high school of venturers, I have a friend named Ellie she's my only friend since im just a loser who has no innate skill and all of my stats are like that of a child. Days here are mundane, filled with taunts from classmates like Jake, who boasts stats five times stronger than mine, however today took a dark turn : he almost beat me to death. While I was at death's door Ellie stood up for me so Jake and his friends threaten to harass her but they don't want anyone to see it so his friend kicks me. As i bled out i saw them surround her, and I finally tell myself that I can't protect anyone but at least my suffering is over. As a thought echoed in my mind "ARE YOU REALLY GOING TO GIVE UP ?"
"I don't even have power to stand up anymore" "SO ALL YOU WANT IS POWER" It made me question my deepest desires, and in that moment of vulnerability, I admitted to myself – I wanted power. "TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU DESIRE ?" "I DESIRE POWER...". Then a status screen materialized in front of me : INNATE SKILL UNLOCKED : GREED ALL STATS HAVE BEEN MULTIPLIED BY 10. SKILLS UNLOCKED : MARTIAL ARTIST LVL 10 APEX EYE LVL 10. Then I stood up with all my wounds healed Jack starts attacking me and says - You loser you haven't died yet ?! I proceeded to dodge his punch then smash him on the ground. Afterwards, I smash both the heads of his friends onto the wall, however my body was still in metamorphosis so I dropped unconsious.I woke up in the infirmary turns out Ellie brought me and Jake here Jake doesn't remember anything nor does Ellie because she dropped unconsious.

It is 3 pm so I left school, its winter break so I have a few weeks off I decided to go dungeon hunting. I heard a novice dungeon opened in the building next door so I signed up as a porter since I don't want my identity revealed, novice dungeons are known for taking a few days to complete. Taking into consideration the average stats of a highschooler is 25 my stats are high, 0-10 is considered a child's strength, 11-25 a young adult, 26-75 a strong venturer and 76-150 a hunter class venturer. Novice dungeons typically take about 5 venturers or a hunter class, so this should be a breeze and a way to test out how greed works.
A few days have passed and the dungeon clearing is about to start, I enter the dungeon as a porter so I stand behind the team. Positioned as the night guard, so now I start by venturing deeper into the dungeon.
