Chapter 3 - CHAPTER 3: The rise of Leon begins

Leon slowly opens his eyes as the blinding light of the sun quickly send jolts of pain in his eyes, without hesitation he quickly uses his hand to block the sunlight as he set his gaze at his surroundings; looking at the destroyed house of his... shattered planks broken into splinters and finally the dead body of the begger still in his pool of blood.

Am alive Leon said as he touches his chest only to realize that there's no wound present only torn clothes as prove that the incident wasn't a dream, hahahaha am really alive this isn't a dream it looks like I was given a second chance.

But then he suddenly recall that he shouldn't have been alive after all those injuries,he then decided to check his body and what he saw shocked him to the core.

His frail body is gone now replaced with a six packs with a broad chest, perfect muscles one that's not too big and not too frail just perfect enough to fit his body.

What the hell happened to my me Leon shouted as he spotted a broken mirror in the distance,he quickly run towards it after picking it up to check his reflection but what stared back at him almost made him throw away the mirror in surprise.

His face has become quite perfect not too handsome and not at all ugly just enough to captivate girls a little, his black hair has now grown reaching his neck and entirely covering his ears slowly fluttering in the wind; his black eyes became deeper and his nose slightly pointed and his jawline chiseled to fit his face perfectly with his skin fair and glowing full of nutrients that has been deprived from since ages, Leon has changed completely going from a frail boy to a handsome teenager.

After seeing his transformation that looks like a mc in a novel transformation he couldn't help but be surprised as he's starting to question if he's not dreaming, how is all this even possible Leon thought but then he remembered the flash of light he saw and a notification before he passed out, just as he thought about it a notification popped up startling Leon slightly.

[Transformation successful]

[Host has successfully integrated with the system]

[WELCOME TO GOD'S SYSTEM]

What the hell is this.... what does system means Leon said in his head looking at the notification hovering above him in the air, but then he realized that the notification hasn't ended yet.

[Due to requirements met successfully rewards granted open stats to check reward]

Stats? What's that Leon questioned in his mind but just then a row of notification popped up.

After seeing his stats Leon was quite surprised, this thing appears to be almost like a game those cultivators usually plays but what does that grade means does it have to do with cultivators grade....if so does that mean that I can actually become a cultivator and become powerful; happiness has started brimming inside Leon as he realizes that there's a glimmer of hope for him to become stronger and dominate this world even though it's not guaranteed, Leon then decided to check if he can ask the system some questions maybe he will a reply.

Hey what exactly are you and where did you come from Leon asked and fortunately a notification appears.

[Questions detected from host... questions will be answered varily the more hosts level up].

So that really means that I can get stronger for real,a grin slowly appears on Leon's face as he then said out loud my path to domination has finally begin, I will rise and become stronger and anyone trying to get in my path will be destroyed.

But then a thought suddenly appears in his mind.... but how do I even get stronger since I haven't even become a cultivator yet but just as that thought appears in his mind a notification popped up.

[Quest available: defeat a primitive grade beast]

[Reward: a random skill]

[Time:5hrs]

[Failure:detach from host resulting in death].

What the heck! is this system messing with me or something how can an ordinary human defeat a primitive grade beast that's suicide and what does it mean by detach from host does that mean I will die Leon said almost pulling his hair in frustration but not long after he calm himself down to think as he plan out how he can complete the quest.

Firstly I will have to buy a beast and monsters encyclopedia thankfully I have enough coin.....'sigh' I can't believe all my years of saving up all those silver coins will be wasted just like that, I hope it's worth it then I will buy a map and a weapon and then I should be ready to go on this suicide quest Leon thought.

Leon then stood up and walked towards his destroyed house as he entered and picked up the jar, opening it before pouring all the silver coins inside a coin bag then he quickly change his clothes into a better clothing before putting the bag of coins inside his pocket and then he stepped out of the house but just as he was about to leave the alley he saw the dead body of the begger.

Leon stared at the begger before Saying I can't be upset with you after all it's thanks to you that I was able to gain this system and have a chance at becoming a cultivator so therefore I will say you make use of your pathetic life to help a young boy grow stronger...he said with a slight smile before leaving the alley behind knowing that that's the last time he will be there.

••••••

Leon arrived at the cultivators market where cultivators that are at the black and green grade sell cultivators goods due to them being unable to kill beast to advance further or some just decided to live a quiet life selling cultivators products; but nonetheless the place is huge and filled with different types of products to buy ranging from weapons, armory and other stuff to buy.

After admiring the scene before him for a moment he then decided to go to the section of beast and monsters encyclopedia,as soon as he arrive there a huge building with racks of shelves displayed in front of him like a library but instead of ordinary books it contains beast encyclopedia and some other information.

In this world since humans cannot enter realms as they wish they discovered some forest with beast and monsters which appears due to a slight tear in space connecting the realm to the tear making monsters able to pass through the tear into the human world thus dominating the forest but since humans needed them to become stronger they are left alone making them occupying all the forest available in the human world and no matter how humans killed them they won't eradicate because the tear appears once a month making hundreds of monsters and beast fill the forest thus replacing their fallen brethren, this forest are under the exterminator organization making sure no casualties occur except for some lands that are forbidden for humans not strong enough since beast and monsters there are terrifying strong.

After Leon enters the building he saw the receptionist which appears to be a young woman at the age of twenty five with a beautiful face capable of captivating many men; having blonde hair, black eyes and she's wearing a white blouse exposing her breast slightly and a black short skirt with a red lipstick on.

After Leon arrived in front of her she eyed him up and down before saying welcome to the beast library what can I do for you.

Am here to purchase beast and monsters encyclopedia of the primitive grade Leon said.

Sure that will be twenty five silver coins she said slyly,shit why does this things expensive Leon thought inwardly.

Sure then Leon said as he open his coin bag and picked out twenty five silver coins before giving it to her, her smile widened as she then left to get Leon his encyclopedia.

Soon she returned with a book with the words beast and monsters primitive grade encyclopedia written at the cover, after handing it to Leon he thanked her and left the building heading towards the weapon shop.

••••••••

Leon has gotten all the necessary things he needed but it left him broke having only twenty silver coins left which left a bad taste at him but he's got no choice.

He manages to purchase the encyclopedia for twenty five silver coins, a dagger for forty silver coins, a map of the forest he's going at ten silver coins and a small pouch bag to pack all his stuff in for twenty silver coins bringing him to only twenty silver coins remaining.

And now he has arrived in front of the forest he's heading to without even wavering or felling nervous he walked inside the forest as he thought let the rise of Leon being.
