BIOLOGICAL SUPERCOMPUTER SYSTEM

Erik woke up later that night with a slight migraine. Whatever the system did change his brain crystal at a level Erik couldn’t even understand.

It was like having your body rebooted after too many days in bed. Still, it only took him about five minutes to get back into working order.

He got out of bed, or better, his couch, and started contemplating his changes. He could sense a vague feeling like he knew how to do something, but he couldn’t quite get what it was.

“Status,” Erik said out loud, and then the usual bluish window appeared in front of him.

—————————————————————————————

Erik first noticed that he had a hundred and ninety Experience points, meaning that he only had to make his last daily quest to get to level two.

He already knew on what he wanted to spend his attribute points on, strength. It was true that by making new neural links, he would be able to improve his strength naturally. Still, he severely lacked strength now and needed the means to defend himself against bullies.

Since he released Logan’s and his friends’ video of them setting the bathroom on fire, he was having a little bit of peace, but he couldn’t say how long that would last.

Besides, in less than three months, he had to go to the military school, where things would be much more complicated. They would actually learn how to fight there, and he couldn’t risk being every student practice target. He didn’t want such a life anymore.

The second thing the young man noticed was his new power: Sharpening. According to the description, it allowed him to make things sharper, meaning that he could make any item a weapon.

Though, the problem was that he didn’t know how to use a weapon. Other kids usually learned martial arts or used specific weapons since they were kids, but he didn’t have the money to do so, and he didn’t know what to do.

Luckily he had the system, and an idea sprouted inside his mind. If he could learn training exercises by downloading videos and books, what could stop him from doing the same with sword manuals and the like?

There were multiple things that the young man had to do during a single day, go to school, work, develop the neural links, make the daily quests, and now train with weapons. His schedule was full already, so he had to find a solution at least for his job problem; he needed money.

“Better think about that later. Now, how do I use this power? The system stated that i can make things sharper, including body parts.”

Erik grabbed a pencil from his backpack; the pencil was made of wood and was orange and black coloration. Erik didn’t know how to use his new power yet. Usually, people knew how to innately use brain crystal powers, but this wasn’t something natural, so Erik had to learn how to use it.

Though the key was imbuing mana into the object, the young man did exactly that. He focused on the mana his brain crystal power could harness, feeling it travel from his brain to his fingers, and willed it to go into the item.

The young man started feeling a tingling sensation travel through his brain and his hand. After that, he started feeling the pencil surrounded by a thin coat of mana; it was like feeling a magnetic field around the pencil.

Then, without knowing why, he thought to sharpen the pen, and suddenly the mana around the item thinned and started making a sharp edge.

“Ah, I get it now.”

Erik observed the pencil as if he was observing a strange animal; he didn’t use a lot of mana to coat the pencil, so he guessed it wasn’t a lot sharp.

“Let’s check this out.” Erik then grabbed another object. It was a piece of wood he used to keep his door open during summer in order to cool down the room.

Then Erik slashed at the wood with the pencil, left a two centimeters deep gash inside the material, and smiled when he saw the result.

“Incredible; with this, I won’t be bullied anymore. The only problem now is to tell the teachers about this new power. What would they do once they find out? They will definitely test the power, but I already know it has a D rank on the Jorm scale, so it is a pretty useful power.”

Erik contemplated on what to do. Since he had to reveal his power, why not do so in a dramatic way? He only needed the right opportunity, and it couldn’t be simpler. He only needed to provoke Logan.

<Time to make my last daily quest and go to bed.>

The young man then trained as usual and began with easy pushups, squats, sit-ups, reverse lunges, squats and presses, planks, and other exercises after pushing, jumping, and stretching for an hour. As soon as he trained enough, a new notification appeared in front of Erik’s view.

[LEVEL UP.]

The young man smiled widely and raised his hands up high above his head as if he had just accomplished some great feat.

But as much as the young man wanted to celebrate, he decided to save the celebration until the end of his training; he still had to allocate his attribute points and finally start making new neural links. Erik, despite being sweaty, sat on the couch; there was only a thought in his mind.

<System, show me the status.>
