Chapter 4

Loki turns his head towards me and asks.

"What type of perks do you want?"

"I don't know, what type of perks can I get?" I don't know the full capabilities of perks just yet. I don't know if it has the power to surpass human limits or just enhance it.

"What can perks do, what is its limit?"

"Well perks can enhance your stats directly or it can affect something else or both depends on what is said on the descriptions of the perks, but the descriptions won't tell you all the benefits of the perks so perks can have hidden benefits that isn't said"

"For example a perk might enhance your strength and endurance stats directly but it can also give you a longer natural lifespan but the system tell you that in the description"

"And there might be a perk that doesn't affect your stats directly but instead it can affect your skills or some other aspect of yourself"

"A perk might make you better at singing or make you think more calmly or better at different situations"

"Perks can make you into a superhuman but that's it, it can't turn you immortal or give you the power to fly"

"Perks are also divided into tiers because what fun would it be if you get all the best perks instantly and win everything"

"That wouldn't be entertaining at all and entertainment is the whole reason I'm giving the system"

"Perks are divided into 4 tiers, common, uncommon, rare and superhuman tiers"

"Kind of similar with skills but it's instead divided into levels"

"But we will get into that later, for now we'll be talking about perks"

"I can only give you 2 common tiers, 1 uncommon tier and 1 rare tiers"

"Can't you give me more or better perks"

"HELL NO I already used a shit ton of power!!"

As Loki said that, tears began to come from his eyes. Is he sobbing?

"I'm almost powerless at this point and you asked for more?"

"I got threatened by a human child, I'm gonna be a laughing stock of the gods!!"

"I won't be able to show my face again!!" Now he started crying, now I would have felt bad but he threatened me first so it's fair game.

"Please don't make me give you more perks, please I'm begging you!!"

Loki moved towards me and clung on my leg begging for mercy. As he started begging tears starts spewing out everywhere like a fountain and hitting my legs. It was pretty funny and pathetic minutes ago he was all high and mighty about how he's a god but now he is on the ground crying and begging for mercy, it's like I've broken him. But since he begged me this much and also because his begging is dirtying my legs so I want him to stop begging, I wouldn't ask for more perks. Can cats even cry from terror or sadness? Maybe it's because the form he's taking isn't a real cat but maybe an avatar or something.

I should probably tell him now, my leg is getting wet from his tears.

I sigh and say.

"Haaaa fine, I wouldn't ask for more perks from you"

"Just help me pick the perks"

"Th.. thank you very much for your mercy *sniff *sniff" After I said that Loki stopped crying and started to wipe his tears and sniffing.

A blue screen appeared with white texts on the top of the screen that said "Perk Shop" and smaller texts below it. Each texts appeared in either white, green, purple or yellow, the colors probably indicating the perk's tier.

"Here pick the perks you want"

"What do you think I should pick?"

"I recommend that you pick something that is helpful in everyday life or something that give the most amount of benefits"

"Hmmm ok" Something that is useful in everyday life or something that gives the most benefits. That thinns the numbers but I still don't know what to pick. I'm gonna keep looking into it until I find something I like.

After looking through the shop for a while I finally picked my perks.

"I'm picking [Fast Reader], [Fast Hands], [Calm Mind] and [Genius actor]"

I picked [Fast Reader] and [Fast Hands] for my common because it will help me finish my school work faster so I can have more free time. [Calm mind] is useful in most if not all situations and [Genius Actor] seems useful because with it I do a believable act like I was lost or distracted. When I go back home I have to explain to mom and dad why I was late so I could get a lesser punishment. I mean sure I could get the other cool and probably better perks. But I don't want to live without the internet and eat only vegetable dishes for a week.

"Why did you pick [Genius Actor]?"

"I mean kind of understand the other three especially the [Calm Mind] perk"

"But [Genius Actor] really?"

"You could've gotten [Strong Body], [Martial Prodigy] or some other cool and probably better perk?"

What he is saying is true but I can't tell Loki that he might somehow find a way to use it against me or just make fun of me. So I turned around and tried my best to do a poker face while smiling to answer him.

"I won't tell you"

I have the [Genius Actor] so my poker face should be pretty good.

Loki eyes widen a little that means he is surprise and that means he can't read my emotions. The [Genius Actor] perk might be a better and more useful perk then I thought.

Loki's eyes then narrowed back to normal and we began to walk together.

"So is this why you picked the perk?"

"It's more useful than I thought"

"I won't tell you"

"Aaahhh, fine"

"Haaaa I got, got by a human child"

"Whhyyyy"

"Because you were stupid"

"Can you stop insulting me please"

"Ha, no"

"You know what never mind you weren't stupid"

"Haaaaaa, thank yo-"

"You ARE stupid"

Loki then looked at me with defeat in his eyes.

"Anyways can you shapeshift your body?"

"To some extent"

"Good, so can you change into a kitten?"

"So that you have a higher chance of getting adopted"

"Yeah I can"

"Good now turn yourself into a kitten and let me hold you"

"I get the first part but why the second one?"

"Can't I just walk with you to your house?"

"I'm pretty sure most kittens don't follow random people"

"Unless that people is a Mouse works princess or an animal whisperer"

"Fine"

I held Loki and walked back to my house.

This is the end of the chapter
