Chapter 5: Getting stronger Pt. 3
The next morning oza was up bright and early even though he wanted to sleep some more but ali forced him and now he was outside while ali did some more research about the town and the people..
"God this is exhausting.." Oza looked at the quest progress and he had finished two of the requirements and now he just had to run.. "Alright let's push this.. better be able to get back before lunch."
Oza ran at a steady pace but with a body like his he would have died if he did this before.. While he was running he greeted the townsfolk but after a tiring run he finished he sat on a nearby bench and a congratulations pop up appeared..
~~~

"Cool unlocked another tiring quest.. but a passive skill? and why do i feel all rejuvenated.. Ali" after a few seconds blue pixels appeared in front of oza..
"You rang?"
"No but i got some weird things and i wanted to check them out with you."
Ali sat down beside him and oza opened his skills and there it was a new skill
~~~
~Passive Skills~
'Enhancement Lvl. Max'
-Player has a peak human body for someone of their age as a base level, as opposed to needing to reach that level through training. This grants the user superior strength, speed, stamina, and flexibility from enhanced muscle tone and a decrease in the production of fatigue toxins.
~~~
"That's why i felt so refreshed.."
"And what was the other weird thing you talked about?"
"Wait a sec i'm getting to that." He then went to misc. and he saw two items..
~~~
~Miscellaneous~
Assassin's Pride!
-Use to permanently increase speed by 10.
-Side effect you lose 10 strength
Event Key!
-A key to unlock a short side story.
Story Key! (Hard!)
-A key to unlock a new domain with a portal that has story needed to complete.
~~~
"So what do you think?" oza asked still unsure..
"Well i say prepare first it does say that it's going to be a hard quest to complete.. I suggest completing the final quest in the sequence quest for a week straight and maybe that will be enough and when do plan on using that assassin's pride item?"
"A week straight?! I'm not gonna die right?! and.. i'm not really sure trading speed for strength is a bad trade off"
"if you say so and keep your voice down.. if it helps i'll join you." oza calmed down and sighed..
"Fine.. i need to grow strong too.. for my sister who's back home."
"Alright then."
ali smiled a genuine smile making oza feel at ease and soon their hellish or more like oza's hellish training begins.. On the first day oza completed it pretty effortlessly thanks to his new passive skill
"If i weren't for enhancement this would be impossible."
"Less talking more finishing quest."
Oza nodded and resumed.. after being yelled at oza finished the quest..
~~~
Congratulations! You have completed (Getting even stronger!)

- New passive skill!
- Permanent 3+ increase to all stats!
- You got 4 levels!

~~~
"Since it's a repeatable quest i can only get the rewards once."
"Well then better be ready for tomorrow and what's the new passive skill?"
~~~
~Passive Skills~
'Enhancement Lvl. Max'
-Player has a peak human body for someone of their age as a base level, as opposed to needing to reach that level through training. This grants the user superior strength, speed, stamina, and flexibility from enhanced muscle tone and a decrease in the production of fatigue toxins.
'Immunity Lvl. Max'
-Grants immunity to all debuffs, poison, bad side effects, and grants person peak immune system
~~~
"That's nice to hear.. Wait!" ali was surprised with his sudden outburst and looked at what he was doing.. "If my theory is right.." he had taken the assassin's pride stone and used it.. he then got a pop up
~~~
Alert! Unknown side effect has been detected Immune skill activating!
~~~
He closed the pop up and went to his skills to see his strength was the same but his speed had increased by ten..
"Alright, as expected from that passive skill."
"That's pretty clever."
"Well I ain't stupid."
Ali sighed and soon they had gone out to lunch and went about their day.. Oza went on to go through that week leveling up and doing the quest getting stronger in the process.. and while he was at it he was well known in the town due to him constantly helping around after his training.. at the final day he finished his quest and was relaxing in bed.. ali appeared in front of him..
"You look like a different person."
"Really?"
"Yeah, you're body is well toned, you got taller, and you don't look like that wimpy kid who almost died in that throne room.."
"I guess.. It's all thanks to you ali.. helping me get stronger and all even though you're the network... you've acted like more of a friend to me than anyone so far."
"Well i did say i would stay by your side from here on out right?" Oza laughed and agreed..
"So you think i'm ready? In the past six days i've leveled up a total of 5 times just exercising and doing some jobs at the town and helping sir daniel with stuff."
"Well want to relocate some of your stats?"
"Sure thing open it up then."
"You have 28 points you can use have any suggestions?"
"I think let's focus on upgrading all of them but keep the priorities in mind."
"Alright."

"So what do you think about this oza?"
"Yeah, i see you know what suits best ali."
"Of course what kind of network would i be."
"But sometimes you act like a human more than an artificial being hahaha. Like how sometimes you act genuinely clueless about things but i think i find that cute about you."
Ali wide-eyed because of the sudden blunt comment given by oza but she maintained her professional demeanor and just shook her head and smiled..
"Well tomorrow let's go on and do the first event key and go on from there."
"I think that would be a great idea, great way to test out my current strength."
"Better rest up then.. i'll do some stuff then do the same."
"Okay then."
Ali disappeared into blue pixels and oza got ready for bed.. and soon darkness consumed him..
