Chapter 4 Power Up and Bathing

I continue doing 2 sets of 25 pushups until another notification popped up in my system.

*Ding*

[Congratulations, Host! You have completed another quest. Do you want to take your reward?]

[Yes] [Later]

Of course I pick another [Yes].

"System, can you skip the questioning and just give me my reward directly?"

[Are you sure, Host? In case you get a Very Big Item like, for example, a Grand Palace or a Heavy Cruiser Space Battleship, this tiny little house of you might get destroyed after I materialize them.]

"How about you just put it directly in the Inventory so I can check the rewards for myself?"

[Okay, okay, will do. From now on, I will just announce the completion of a quest and what kind of reward do you get. You can check the rewards by yourself on the Inventory.]

"Okay, got it, thank you, System."

[You're welcome. Oh, by the way, the reward for this quest is a Power Up. From now on, you are an Awakened One and your power level will be increased by one stage. You can check your current power on the Status Menu.]

And without further ado, I do that immediately.

Here is my status as recorded by the system:

-----

Name: Vansesda Viradhi

Level: One Star First Stage

Skill: Power Drain

-----

Very very simple, only three lines of words.

No details for stats such as Strength, Vitality, Agility or Spirit.

The designer for this system must be a very lazy one.

[Humph, what do you know, there is no need for that useless details as by leveling up through the system, each of your so called "stats" will be increased until they are all comparable to those on the peak of the same level as you.]

"So, if people who have utilised all of his potential and reached the peak of the same level as me have, say: 4 points of strength, 3 points of vitality, 2 points of agility and a meager 1 point of spiritual power, then I will have 4 points on each of those stats?"

[Yes, correct.]

"System, have I told how much overpowered you are before?"

[Hm hm hm *smug* Now you know how amazing I am, right? Do you understand why so many people would flocks on you if this secret is revealed?]

Towards the question from the system, I don't say anything and just nodded my head like chicken pecking on the rice.

By the way, I am now a One Star First Stage Awakened One, huh?

So my power is on the peak of all my peers when they have just been awakened?

Wait, how many months ago is that?

Two? Three? Honestly, I am indulged myself in the game too much that I have not even aware that the season have changed.

After all that time, how much stronger are my peers by now?

Especially those who entered a prestigious place like my girlfriend who entered Harmonix Elysium, a World Class Academy for the awakened one.

I won't be surprised if by now she is already on the middle or even the peak stage of One Star Realm.

By the way, from what I know so far, the strongest person in this city are only on the Four Star Realm, including my parents, my Father Vansesda Amadhius and my mother Vansesda Kaede.

...

Anyway, moving on, now I am planning to take the fourth quest: crafting my own weapon.

For this, I need to get out of my room to take the tools needed and then go out to search for the materials.

But first, lets take a bath to clean my body and have a ..... Breakfast? Now is still morning, right?

Creaking open the door, I look left and right to see if my parents are still at home.

Well, as a couple of high ranking adventurers, they only take the mission from the guild around once or twice a month.

The rewards from their high ranking missions are usually more than enough to live lavishly for months anyway, so they only take the mission whenever they are in the mood of adventuring.

The last time my Mother get home and found out that I haven't taken a bath for two days, I am in for some disciplining.

Seriously, Mother, please don't use a whip made from a Dungeon Boss's skin to whip your unawakened son.

And Father too, please stop using a branch from a World Tree that you casually snap from the heart of a Sylvan Dungeon to beat your kids.

Sometimes I feel amazed that I am still alive until now.

My parents are really good on holding back when they are using End Game level gears to beat up their kids, huh?

"Onii-chan, finally you are out from your room."

A crisp voice like the song of an oriole make me flinched while standing outside the door of my room.

"Mom and Dad are going out to do mission since yesterday."

I turned to my left and see the owner of that sweet and cute voice.

Who else if not my little sister Vansesda Gladhis.

She is younger than me by three years.

She is so cute that everyone in the family always want to pamper her a lot.

Also, don't look that her body frame is small, she is even more mature than me, at least on the inside.

Whenever Mother is not in the house, she is the one who took charge in the household.

People used to call her "little mama" due to her motherly temperament despite being a middle schooler.

She have a brunette hair and her lithe figure always lit the spark of protective instincts from everyone nearby.

*sniff sniff* "Umuuuu, Onii-chan, you are so smelly. Go take the bath ASAP. I will make you a brunch later."

I nodded to my little sister and grab my towel before rushing to the bathroom.

....

I spent a quality time inside the bathroom scrubbing myself clean from the filths.
