My Werewolf System

Chapter 164: An upgrade!

Chapter 164: An upgrade!

Apparently, selecting a Class was more than just some perks, because Gary could physically feel that his body was changing. It felt somewhat similar to when he would transform.

‘Seriously? Right here, right now? You didn’t tell me something like this was going to happen! What if Amy sees me? This is bad!’ Gary thought as sweat was running down his body and forehead. He quickly got out of his clothes as he had gone through too many recently and he didn’t want to waste money on buying more.

The teenager’s arms and muscles were bulging, but his skin wasn’t ripping off like it usually would. With each passing second he felt like his bones were growing slightly larger and then finally it had stopped.

[Congratulations, your Class has changed to; Werewolf Warrior]

[Class: Warrior]

[State: Human (Omega)]

[Grade: knight]

After taking a breath or two, Gary decided to check out the system, he had received multiple notifications, but he was unable to focus and tell what they were, so he was just starting to check them all out.

‘… what does Grade: Knight mean? It went from Pawn to Knight, so I’m guessing it’s based on chess, but what exactly does it symbolise? Why is it separate from the Class?’

Alas, his system came and went as it pleased. Rather than focus on the things he didn’t understand, he decided to look at the things he did understand.

[The maximum number of Marks available has increased]

[5/8 Marks]

He had gained three more slots, which made Gary quite happy. He wondered what Level he would have to reach to make them increase again, and he was also curious how many he would have gotten if he had selected the Hunter Class instead.

[Error; One of your skills is incompatible with your current Class]

[Charging Heart will be removed]

‘Huh? Wait, what?! I can’t use Charging Heart any more? What crap is that!’ Gary was getting really pissed at the Werewolf system’s shenanigans. It was one thing to not give him a heads-up about his body changing, but his skills being incompatible with any of the Classes should have warranted a warning!

The high schooler quickly went over to the Skills tab and he could see that it had indeed disappeared. Charging Heart was the bread and butter skill that Gary had relied on the most. He could only hope that he could still enjoy the effect of doubling all his stats if his Heart rate increased to or above 150 BPM on its own.

[New skills are available, please select ONE skill from the following skills]

Rather than stay down about it, Gary opted to look at the plus side, perhaps there was a compatible skill to his Class that would benefit him even more than Charging Heart.

The first thing Gary noticed was that Hardened Will wasn’t listed as one of the options.

‘Is this because it’s also incompatible with the Warrior Class? Does that mean if I had selected one of the other Classes, I might have kept Charging Heart but lost the Claw Drain skill?’ He understood that at this point it would all be speculation.

[Berserker]

[A skill that can only be activated once the user falls below 50% of his Health. The skill does not require any Energy to use, but no other skills can be used while in effect. For one minute, the user’s strength will increase by 25%]

[Controlled Transformation]

[This allows the user to transform different bodies to be part wolf as he wishes. The strength gained from this will be dependent on how much the user wishes to transform. While in this state, Energy will be consumed twice as fast as normal. Stats will increase depending on which body parts are transformed.]

‘Out of the two skills, one of them was far more clear on what type of effects it would have. The second one seemed a bit wishy-washy at first, but reading it Gary understood why and he was more inclined to choose that one.

‘When fighting against the twins, it was because of my claws that I managed to hurt them. Also, if I could change just part of my body, I could get away with being an Altered! What’s more I could permanently keep my claws to fight!

‘Full Transformation… just makes it too obvious that I’m not an Altered. However, the Energy consumption will be doubled… How much is my Energy now anyway? One of the class perks did mention a ‘large pool.’

Checking up, Gary bought up his Status and his mouth was left wide open.

[Name: Gary Dem]

[Class: Warrior]

[State: Human (Omega)]

[Grade: Knight]

[Level 10]

[Exp 220/1456]

[Health: 100/100]

[Energy: 120 ? 300/300]

[Strength 9 ? 15]

[Dexterity 9 ? 15]

[Endurance 14 ? 15]

‘My Energy is now at 300! I might actually be able to transform a lot of my body without having to worry. At the same time, I can use my skills a lot easier now. On top of that, all of my basic stats have improved!

‘Now I don’t feel too bad about Charging Heart. The Energy increase alone would have been the equivalent of 18 Levels!’ Gary thought excitedly. Checking it out as well, it looked like Gary still had one stat point to use as he wished, but as usual for now he decided to keep it.

Because of this new-found information, Gary decided to select the second skill.

[Are you sure you would like to select the skill ‘Controlled Transformation?’]

[Yes / No]

[Current list of skills]

[Mark 5/8]

[Claw Drain (Level 1)]

[Full Transformation]

[Controlled Transformation] (new)

Finally, there was the last set of notifications for Gary to look at.

[Daily Quests are no longer active]

[Exp gained from Bonds will continue]

[The Knight Grade can not gain stats from eating humans]

[The Knight Grade can still gain stats from eating beasts]

Gary wasn’t too upset. Lately, he had been finding it hard to head to the gym in the morning with how much he had to do throughout the day. The Exp requirement was also increasing with every Level, so the little help he would get from completing his Daily Quest had become very marginal.

However, he still intended to keep hunting. Not only did it save him money, but with his large Energy pool, he would have to eat more to keep it filled up. As for eating humans, well now he had the perfect excuse not to. However, there was something on his mind as he read the last message.

‘I can gain stats from eating beasts? It mentioned that there was an anomaly with the twins… was it because they weren’t fully Altered? Or is it talking about beasts… because they still exist on Earth?’
