Soooo cool!" Issei exclaimed out loud as he looked at the hologram in front of him.

[I am impressed by the very detailed info on boosted gear]

So hey, is my life like a video game from now on and can other people see this? Because it will be weird of other people could see what I'm seeing right now.

{Don't worry about that, your messages can only be seen by you and about your life being game... the answer to that is kind of. Every aspect won't be like a game at all but will play a huge role in your life as the system that I have set in place will help guide you. For example, you can do quest, fight in dungeons, level up/increase your stats, get rewards, and earn new titles.}

Basically same as other RPG games.

{Yes all in all you could live your normal life and you wouldn't notice it unless you were actively engaged with it. There will be more things to explain at another time but for now let's start with your basic training so here is your first quest}

/The System Will Help The Player's growth\

/Quest Incoming!\

/The Quest: Preparation Day: Has Arrived!\

/ [Incomplete] Push-Ups [0/100] \

/ [Incomplete] Curl-Ups [0/100] \

/ [Incomplete] Squats [0/100] \

/ [Incomplete] Run [0/5 km] \

/Must Be Completed By The End Of The Day, Every day For 3 weeks. If Not Completed Then There Will Be A PENALTY. Current Penalty: Player will be send to penalty zone.\

Don't you think it's too much to start off asked issei with a ticked mark on face. And what is this penalty zone.

{Nonsense, Besides, we have all day in fact take the next couple of minutes to do your push-ups, then take your shower, and start your day. Doing this for the next couple of weeks should increase your build substantially. And you never want to go to penalty zone.}

[I think you should listen to him Issei. If you can get yourself in shape than you could call upon both of our power with less effort]

Issei sat for a few minutes to take all the information in before letting out a loud sigh. He might as well get started now. So for the next excruciating 15 minutes he finally finished his 100 push-ups. He decided that now is a perfect time to take a hot shower to relax his aching muscles. He stepped out of his room into the hallway only to get hit with a sudden realization and a painful memory of the death of his parents. The pain and fear he felt yesterday hit him like a truck and bought him to his knees with tears in his eyes.

[I'm sorry that I couldn't be any help to you in your time of need]

Don't say that Ddraig cause of you I was able to give him a punch.

{I ensure you boy they are in a better place but there is no time to mourn as you must get a move on if you want to get stronger. Make your parents proud, succeed in your dreams, and take your place in the annals of history!}

Yeah, he needed to get stronger and fast. If all this supernatural stuff is real then who knows when he will run into one again. And if he is weak how can he avenge his parents if he is having struggles doing simple push-ups?

"So let's get started shall we?"

Time skip*

"Ugh finally *pant* FINALLY *pant* I'm back home!" Issei has just finished his run and has returned home. He was sweating but he couldn't complain. How could he when he saw some female runners breast bounce with each step? For a perv like him this was the best part of the day, and he also didn't mind the way girls where looking at him either.

It's been 3 weeks since Issei has been constantly working out. His physique has changed quite a bit now he isn't some scrawny kid anymore. He is now a confident 6'2 and has gained some muscle mass that made the girls stop and stare.

/Quest: Preparation Day: Completed\

/Claim Your Rewards\

/Reward #1: Status Recovery\

/Reward #2: 10 Stat Points\

"Accept Status Recovery." and just like that all his fatigue he felt was gone like it wasn't even there. "Accept Stat Points." He then decided to put four into strength, three into defense, two into agility, and one into stamina. He figured he wanted to put a boost his strength and defense first before other things.

[Partner don't you think it is time for you to start working on my power. You have gained a lot of strength and stamina naturally during the last couple of weeks without increasing your stats. It is about time you start working on controlling my power]

{I agree and tomorrow you are going to explore your first dungeon. Until then get some rest and early in the morning I'll teleport you to the location so you can enter it}

To say Issei was excited was an understatement he would be jumping up and down if he didn't want to look stupid to anyone passing by. He knew this will be his second technical experience with the supernatural world and he was kind of scared. Who knew what he is going to face (definitely won't be goblins). With determination in his mind Issei decided to head on to bed so he can wake up early and really get started on his adventure.

(The next day)

Issei stood in the middle of a subway station, the early morning breeze sending a shiver up his spine.

"Where are we?" He said out loud

{ We are in a subway issei go to the area near stairs and use my Scared Gear to enter the dungeon}

Doing what Ashborn said issei used his scared gear to enter the dungeon but was shocked after entering the dungeon it looked like the same subway station but was thrashed. He saw a wolf coming near him and was scared to attack and started dodging its attacks.

*HOWL*

From the darkness of the cave 10 more wolfs approached looking pretty pissed that a member just got killed.

After analyzing the monster in front of him issei tried to slash the monster in front of him like he did with the wolves but was ineffective. I need to find a weak spot fast before I become its dinner

[Issei tear its mouth using the sword]

But for that I should be faster a bit faster so that I can attack its weak spot.

/You have learned the skill Sprint\

-Increases the speed by 40%.

{Now issei use your title and skills to finish it}

You got it Ashborn. /switch to title Hunter Y/N\

"Yes!" as issei lifted his sword up and leaped forward faster than before.

/The Skill: Sprint: Has Been Activated\

/The Skill: Vital Strike: Has Been Activated\

While the monster tried to bite issei he just cut through its mouth killing it.

/You leveled up x11\

Yes I could use that thanks Ashborn for reminding me of that. *Gulp…*

/skill longevity has been activated \ /3…2….1…debuff removed completely\

*2 Days Later*

Ashborn I to level up fast don't you have some dungeons that consist of weak monsters but gives a massive exp.

{If you started saying that I would only have Plague Monarchs Infected Soldiers, do you want to fight a massive horde of insects-humans}

But I would like to have new skills if possible.

{Check the shop I will deposit some money in account so you can buy any skill you like}

Thanks a lot Ashborn you are the best. If you said I am going to fight a horde then I should probably skill that I can use to kill a lot of people in one shot…. I think I would like to buy these two skills.

/ You have learned the skill Explosion\

/ You have learned the skill Brawler\

Nice first a subway now a telephone booth next what more awkward areas you will take me to.

Ok lets get this over with…. This place looks like Okinawa but what happened here and why are insects crawling from human beings head.

{Those are the soldiers of Plague Monarch}

"EXPLOSION!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

To say the explosion was big was an understatement. The whole block was leveled to the ground and any zombie caught in it was reduced to ashes.

"NOW!"
