15 Daily Quest 1 (1/2)

'I can't feel my arms anymore...' Eddra thought to himself, struggling while he threw the last ten swings to complete the requirement from the quest.

He went from completing his runs and push-ups onto hitting the practice dummy and separately swinging the wooden sword. All together were completed barely before the sunset. It was physical exhaustion, and he probably had done something similar when he was in the army. The only difference was that there would be a knight major constantly finding fault with everything he was doing, casting aspersions on him every time they would meet.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

[You have completed the Daily Quest!]

[You have received (3) Stat Points!]

[You have received (1) New System Feature!]

'... What's that?' Eddra wondered, deep squatting on his toes while the plates started vanishing slowly of which was followed with the consecutive sounds ringing in his ears and the new plates popping out.

[Updating the System... ]

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

[You have acquired 'Skills'. To see the skills plate, state 'Skills'.]

[You have learned a skill!]

[You have learned a skill!]

[You have learned a skill!]

It was a new command. Eddra had acquired a new command, and strangely though, he felt excited to test it out. ”[Skills],” he stated.

Ding!

A portrait plate floated before him, two boxes were separating the space below and the name of the plate above it, saying [Skills]. Eddra scanned the first box that was automatically on focused that was called [Passive] and read the contents. There were two cascading names listed: [Born to Fight] and [Wrath].

'What are these?' He looked at it. On the right side names, there were pictures while the designated levels of the skills were on the left side. Curious, Eddra brought a finger and pressed the first skill on the list, showing yet another plate beside it.

[Born for Combat, Level 1

When in the middle of combat, strength will increase to 5%.

When in the middle of combat, agility will increase to 5%.

With a melee weapon in hand, attack damage will increase to 10%.

With a melee weapon in hand, attack speed will increase to 7%.]

Just after it showed the description of the learned skill, Eddra heard a voice reciting the contents of the plate. It was either a woman or a man's, he could not classify to what was the gender of the owner. The only thing he knew was it creeped the shit out of him and he wanted to silence the voice immediately. Now, Eddra felt he did not want to open the other ones.

'... However, it is necessary to gain knowledge about this shitty [System].' Sighing, Eddra thought why did it have to be a creepy voice. Regardless, he pressed the last skill below it.

[Wrath, Level 1

When provoked, attack damage will increase to 10%.

When provoked, attack speed will increase to 15%.

Addition 10 to maximum heath.]

'Is that all?' Eddra asked himself, rubbing off the small bumps forming on his skin. Creeped out he moved onto the second box called [Active]. The last column revealed a list similar to what it had in the [Passive], however, it was contained with only one skill—[Blink].

[Blink, Level 1 | Cost: 45 Mana

Teleport on a location around 0 to a maximum of 4 meters.

When near the enemies, attack damage will increase to 10%.]

”... What does it mean by teleport?” Eddra mumbled. He had never read such a foreign word before. Without a clue to what might happen, he chanted the skill right around the time the voice recited the details.

”[Blink].”

Shortly after he chanted the skill, Eddra suddenly felt his body was getting dragged⁠—pulled out of nowhere. And a momentary stutter towards the latter, he was transported inside a room⁠—where supposedly he was standing before the practice dummy that he placed outside, at the back of the mansion.

”What...”

He was speechless. No other words could leave his mouth, and even his mind went blank that he could not think of anything when he vanished from the origin.

Eddra felt his sweat on his forehead dropping to his cheek. He moved his vision and surveyed the room where he teleported. When he felt that the room was entirely familiar, he immediately turned at his back.

It was then, that Eddra saw the torso of the practice dummy by the glasses of the window before him.

...

Eddra took a rest after the incident. He slept heavily until before the sun could rise again. He felt off, and even the people around him could notice this when he went back to his quarters.

He simply could not believe what had happened to him that day. It won't sink in his mind that he forgot he was supposed to see the friend of his mother.

Ding!
