20 Superhuman (1/2)

Dorian didn't stay much longer in Charles' house after that conversation, and instead went outside to test his abilities. But first he checked his new mission, to see what had changed exactly.

[Mission Content: The Red Scorpion Gang had been plaguing this city for too long and must be removed. You can choose how to do it, as long as the job is done. Rewards are now fixed, but extra rewards are still available.]

As he looked over it, Dorian couldn't help but wonder whether the earlier period was a test. It shouldn't, because this change of mission only happened after he saved Charles, which wasn't a fixed event.

Hadn't he been able to save Charles, would he have his mission changed? And about that part saying that his rewards were fixed, are they based on what he did so far or it doesn't matter?

Dorian shook his head in frustration, for now the only thing he knew was that he had to destroy the Red Scorpion Gang, and that he would still receive an ability book every ten gang members he killed.

After walking some distance, Dorian hid behind a rather large house, and while cursing about the fact there weren't dark alleys he learned his new skill and ability. But he also received a notification saying he had gained an attribute point in Vitality, Intelligence and Perception.

Dorian decided to open his status as it had been quite some time:

Dorian smiled as he looked at his stats. Comparing to the first time he arrived in this world, he had become multiple times stronger. He also felt something special, about his stats.

His Strength and his Perception, he could feel that they had somehow changed… As if the gap between 19 and 20 wasn't just a point difference. Back when his Strength passed the 20 points threshold, he hadn't felt anything, but Perception was attributed to senses so he guessed it was the reason for this change.
