3 New Life (1/2)

During the revenge, Stonexia Yrrah also get to know about some other features of OPS got unlocked like scouting, experience points, etc. With scouting feature Stonexia can check stats of other living beings just like in games HP, Life, Current Age, Expected Age and other miscellaneous stuff. Practically he can check anything on anybody. This can be done in both live mode and demo mode.

Once when Stonexia pushed a motorbiker bully for his revenge he also noticed an notification from OPS giving him 1 experience point for killing an ant, which was unfortunate and got crushed under the weight of the motorbike. This also worked in both demo and live mode.

He can do self scouting as well and knew that he is very weak and was at level zero of human. Even the normal people who used to hard labor were at level 1 but he was at 0. So he kept killing ants, rats, flies and other common insects to gain some experience and level up. He did these killings in demo mode so that it has no effect on real life of those insects and creatures. After only one month he leveled up to 2. Level 2 humans are generally bouncers, wrestlers, fighters, cops and military men in the real world. Of course that one month was only 1 second in real world as well due to being in demo mode. This way the benefits of system were being revealed to him slowly. Although it was 1 second in real life but boredom and mental fatigue was equivalent to one month. So he immediately went to sleep after reaching level 2 in real life.

Real World, outside the house of Stonexia

Rats, flies, mosquitoes, ants and various other insects were swarming around the house of Stonexia. They attacked the rations and emptied whole house. Mr. and Mrs. Yrrah were terrified by the scene. Mr. Yrrah soon came out of his stupor and hurried towards room of Stonexia to wake him up for their escape. Stonexia wasn't waking up as mental fatigue was too much on his brain after his training for one month in demo mode. Mr. Yrrah tried picking him up but was surprised to see that Stonexia's weight is now too much for him to lift unlike before. Also its now that he noticed that even the physical structure of Stonexia is much more muscular as compared to his old self. For a second he felt that maybe his son started taking steroids? But he can't think of any way by which his son can buy those expensive drugs, as their family has hardly enough money to eat and they can barely afford the basic amenities. Also not waking up of Stonexia put suspicion in mind of Mr. Yrrah that their son is currently drunk or drugged.

Mr. Yrrah shook hurriedly and put all negative thoughts on the back of his head and quickly grabbed nearby jar of water and threw it on Stonexia. And thus sweet dreams of Stonexia came to end where he was acting as superhero of the Earth and praised by whole earth.

Mr. Yrrah explained the situation to Stonexia, and Stonexia didn't took time to figure that the so called disadvantage mentioned by system is this. He quickly confirmed it with system and got an affirmative. It's actually the instinct injection that is injected while killing/injuring/bullying during demo modes. Although the victim who is killed won't know who actually killed them so many times in demo mode but their body will naturally develop an instinctual animosity towards their killer. And as Stonexia was lazy during his training and thus hunted all insects near his house only and thus insects got a gut feeling that stonexia is their lifelong enemy, and thus they attacked house. Even insects themselves don't know that why are they attacking this house, its something that their bodies are naturally doing and brain can't stop this activity of body as they have been killed so many times that negative instinct values are too high to be controlled by tiny brains of those insects.

Mr. Yrrah also presented his suspects of drug addiction and alcohol consumption by Stonexia, but Stonexia immediately refused them and although Mr. Yrrah was unsatisfied by stonexia's explanations but due to the immediate crisis he has to let that matter go.

Stonexia relaxed little bit and asked for a solution from the system itself to protect them from this insects horde.

”HOST CAN TRY SWITCHING TO DEMO MODE AND FEEDING THEM OR PLAYING WITH THEM OR CARESSING THESE INSECTS AND THUS GENERATING POSITIVE INSTINCT VALUES WITH THEM.... CURRENT NEGATIVE VALUE OF MANTIS NO. 1 IS -910, FOR RAT NO.1 IT IS - 190, FOR HOUSEFLY NO. 1 IT IS .... , YOU MUST MAKE ALL THESE FIGURES TO ZERO TO -100 TO MAKE THEM LEAVE YOUR HOUSE OR +1 TO +100 OR OVER TO MAKE THEM LOYAL TO YOU AND SERVE YOU INSTEAD OF CREATING HAVOC IN YOUR HOUSE. BUT BEWARE DUE TO THEIR CURRENT NEGATIVE VALUES THEY WON'T LET YOU TOUCH THEM EASILY. BEST IDEA IS TO REBUILD THEIR HOMES THAT YOU DESTROYED AS IT WILL HELP YOU RAISE THE POSITIVE INSTINCTS QUICKLY.”

Suddenly evil ideas started popping in Stonexia's mind after hearing System's explanation...

”Wow its too good. I will have my insect army and I am currently myself as strong as wrestlers. We are gonna rule the world. Also I will have another method to teach those bullies of mine some new violent lessons.”

Stonexia at once entered the kitchen and caught some raw vegetables, wheat, and other daily eatables and tools for digging. Then he activated demo mode on OPS. Whole real world paused.

(Teleportation sfx)

In demo mode, the brains of insects won't be as sharp as their real selves so it was easy to come near them and dodging their silly unconscious attacks, but he still can't dodge the enormous numbers of them, so got wounded. Even after getting wounded, he still persevered. He started feeding and caressing all the insects near his house's vicinity, and then lured them away towards their homes where he killed them earlier. Their he rebuilt the mounds for ground insects, and dug few holes for rats and provided new habitat for every insect and just doing this along with normal caressing raised the instinct values in positive numbers almost plus 200 for every creature. He continued caressing them until he felt bored and finally the values reached 1000 plus for each and every creature. Now those creatures destroyed their newly created homes themselves signalling that they want to follow Stonexia.

Stonexia brought them back home and switched to live mode, and thus his real body appeared in outside world. Mr. Yrrah was searching for him as he had just disappeared just from behind him. On seeing him back he was little relaxed and held the arm of Stonexia to pull him towards exit door. But Stonexia remained unmoved, and showed a smile and said, ”Chill Dad”.

Mr. Yrrah was surprised, ”Chill your head, idiot, let's hurry or we will be insect food in no time.”

Stonexia still remained calm and told ”What's the problem dad, they are my pets?”

Stonexia picked up few rats and put them around his shoulder and also made few flies and insects sit over his body. And those insects seems to be not hostile at all, instead they seem like enjoying as if Stonexia's body is their home. Exit door suddenly opened as Mrs. Yrrah entered who was very worried about both Stonexia and Mr. Yrrah as they had been delaying too much for their escape from this insect crisis. She was surprised too by seeing rats, mantis and flies sitting over Stonexia.

”Why are you watching our son being attacked by those insects? Hurry and kill them?” ordered Mrs. Yrrah.

Mr. Yrrah replied ”Kill them? But he says they are his pets?”

Mrs. Yrrah also remained dumbstruck after hearing this, but was convinced after seeing Stonexia patting and combing the soft furs of rat in his palm.

”Don't worry mom i will make an different house for them outside our house in our little garden, so they won't disturb you.”
