Why?

A week later

Dan sat in the bed of his room with a wooden box full of herbs in front of him.

"400 strength herbs. I am fucking rich. "Dan shouted and hugged the box grinning from ear to ear. He then kissed the box like he would a girl and then closed it with a wide sike on his face.

His meticulous filtering of the 50 bundles of Tej herbs had given him 400 strength herbs. A sizable number considering that each piece would be sold for around 1200 Zenos which would be around 500,000 Zenos for all the herbs. A very big number.

Not all of that would go to his pocket but he would still be getting around half of it. Which would be around 200,000 Zenos after deducting the cost of

Dan put the box away and glanced at the clock beside his bed. It was around 4 P.M. He had enough time to submit these herbs and collect his money.

But first, he wanted to check his stats. He wanted to see the results of this week. His training had been continuing even though he had scraped the plan to visit the wild to earn money now that he had such an easy and reliable way to make money. Even then, Dan still trained his physique. It didn't hurt to have a good body which would be useful in awakening as a metahuman.

"Show me my stats. "Dan ordered and closed his eyes. A couple of seconds later, he opened them to see:

Name: Dan well

Age: 15

Height: 5'3"

Weight: 45 kg

Strength: 0.7

Stamina: 0.7

Agility: 0.9

Speed: 0.8

Health: perfect

Mana:??? ( Not enough data on the stat to quantify it. Please provide the required data for more information. )

Dan nodded his head after seeing his stats. There wasn't much increase since the last time but he was getting there. And he had even increased his weight while stamina, agility and speed had increased by 0.1. It wasn't massive but it was a lot considering these changes had happened in a week.

The mana stats situation still irked him but now that he had a way to earn money, it wouldn't be long before he gathered enough money to buy a mana core. That day would come and Dan was eagerly waiting for it.

Dan opened his eyes and got ready to head to the herbal shop. He changed into some new clothes, his good mood very apparent by the wide smile on his face as he exited his house.

Around half an hour later, Dan entered the shop which looked the same as it had a week before. Dan banged the wooden box on the counter in front of Clare, drawing her attention.

She glanced at the box and grabbed it without a word while Dan stared at her surprised. But Clare gave him no heed and took the box in her arms.

She said, "Wait. "and walked to the backroom where Mark and Dan had discussed their deal. Dan nodded and sat down on a chair in front of the counter and waited.

Around half an hour later, Mark walked out of the backroom, his hands behind his back and a wide smile on his face.

"My friend, you astound me with your talent. Let me give you a gift for your hard work. "Mark said as he approached Dan. 

Dan stood up from his seat as Mark arrived in front of him. "What gift? "He asked, a bit confused. 

"This. "Mark replied and put his hand in front of him. A Taser. That was what Mark had in his hand. 

"What-"His voice cut off as Dan stared at Mark with a horrified look on his face. He was confused and now a bit scared as a maniac look appeared on Mark's face. But Dan couldn't move. He couldn't even shake his head as he saw Mark poke him with the Taser, electrocuting him. And then everything went dark. 

"Why? "was the only thought in Dan's mind as he fell to the floor with his eyes rolled back.
