Chapter 49: Massive Growth In Strength
Chapter 49: Massive Growth In Strength
The notification buzzed before Nolan's eyes, which showed intense hunger.
His body had remained deep underground for the gods knows how many hours, and he felt incredibly hungry.
Thankfully, there were a few fruits he could gnaw on in the woods. They weren't sweet, but at least they satiated his hunger a little.
[You were smart to quickly leave the area once you awakened...] The system called to his notice as Nolan remembered the moment he had quickly run away from the grave and disappeared into the woods.
Naturally, when Nolan had awakened, he had seen the traces of the pillar of light, and his instincts flared, urging him to run away quickly.
He had no reason why and knew not what his fate would be if the Instructors had discovered him, but Nolan decided to trust his senses and move away as quickly as possible.
He would rather keep his sudden improvement in strength a secret instead of broadcasting it to the entire world.
Not everyone would be happy for his success, and who knew what they would do to him in such an instance.
In the end, he would be under the control of his powerful enemies, something he could avoid if he simply walked away as quickly as possible.
"Activate System Interface..." Nolan ordered.
Now that his hunger and thirst had been sated a little from the fruit, it was time to assess his improvement.
Just sitting down on this tree, he could feel like he was a new, different entity, but he wanted to see just how different it truly was.

[Rewards: +10,000 EXP and +4 Level Up Cards!]
The notifications were almost endless, just buzzing before Nolan's face, whose emotionless expression slowly changed into a cocky grin.
'I truly died a couple of times, but I don't regret it now.'

"Does Host wish to use Level Up cards?"
The system asked as Nolan looked at the long list of level-ups, and he ultimately decided.
"Use just four of them..." He decided. He didn't know how strong he really was right now, with all his stats having been said to be doubled and the abilities and the various attributes he had just obtained.
It was good to be strong, but if he could suddenly go toe-to-toe with the instructors themselves, then that would be weird.
And such a massive level-up chance like this wouldn't be coming up in the near future.
That was why he ultimately decided not to spend everything in one go.
At least not now.

[Agility: 30(+30)]
[Perception: 30(+30)]
[Intelligence: 30(+30)]
[Charm: 4(+4)]
[Attribute Points: 120]
"Hmmm, I guess all my attribute points really doubled up. Now let's work towards getting to the 100 Power mark..."
Nolan mused and quickly made his choice.
"Add 30 points to Strength, add 40 points to Agility, add 30 points to Perception, and add 20 points to Intelligence!"
Nolan quickly commanded, but not a second had passed when an incredibly shrill scream, like that of a pig being slaughtered, rang throughout the entire forest, causing some birds to immediately fly away.
CRRAAACK!
CRAAAACK!
RIIIIIIIIP!
The sound of bones cracking and muscles being torn apart rang throughout the area as Nolan's hand dug into the ground, and thick veins covered every inch of his body.
With shock, Nolan began growing, widening.
A strange oil covered his body, as his skin seemed to be melting off, causing them to start peeling away from Nolan's body.
Strange runic lines began undulating forth from the second skin that appeared on his new skin, seemingly resembling some sort of tattoo.
"Arrrrrgggghh!!!" Another roar of pain left Nolan's lips yet was forced down a second later as Nolan's teeth ground together.
The sound of cracking resounded as his teeth fractured into nothing, yet another pair of teeth, this time slightly golden in color, began appearing once more, only to fracture again due to the pain, and then another set of teeth appeared.
The same could be said for every organ, and Nolan swore if it wasn't for the hell he went through during the trial, this might as well be what would have killed him.
"Why! Why is it so painful?!!" Nolan grunted out loud, and the system brought its explanation.
[The points you allotted to your attributes are too much for your current body. You should have started small, donating 10 or so.]
[But you poured a total of 120 attribute points all at once, of course, it would be painful, but nonetheless rewarding for your mental toughness.] The system said.
In the same position for half an hour, Nolan remained until he felt the pain fade away.
