"Woah...thanks system," Virgil said with a smile seeing all of the items 

{Okay rude where is my thank you?} Sabastian asked 

"You shut up the system is the one helping me," Virgil sighed 

{Wow so me explaining everything to you was just nothing. Oh okay then don't ask for my help again} Sabastian said turning around 

"God...I swear you cry so much," Virgil replied 

Ignoring Sabastian Virgil opened up his stats again. Taking a few moments to think about the build he wanted, Virgil added five points to his strength, agility, endurance, and dexterity since his intelligence and wisdom were the highest.

Once he added the points to his stats he felt and saw a physical change in his body. His pale skin slowly gained color; his thin body grew adding a little muscle. Even though it wasn't a giant change it was enough to make him look healthier than before.

"I guess status points really are important. Hey, Sabastian how else can I get status points?" Virgil asked

{...}

"Hello?"

{...}

"Okay seriously stop being petty aren't you the system's assistant making you my assistant?"

{Shut up I'm not helping you}

"Why not?" Virgil sighed 

{Because you re yet to apologize for being rude} Sabastian replied

[Stop the bickering and answer the question]

{Wow you too boss why are you taking his side?} Sabastian asked feeling betrayed

[Because he is the host]

{Fine. You will gain three status points every time you level up and after each breakthrough, you will gain a large number of status points}

"Now was that so hard? Thank you system" Virgil replied ignoring Sabastian 

{I hate both of you}

With a small laugh, Virgil opened his status and pulled out the three books he was given by the system. The first book with basic mana control had an image of a wand engraved on the cover.

Opening the book Virgil was surprised when he received a notification. At the same time, waves of information rushed into his head allowing him to use the skill.

[Congradulation you have learned: Basic-Mana Control[Lv.1: Allows you to use the mana within your body and around you while bringing in the mana around you to restore your mana core]

After receiving the message Virgil watched as the bust turned into dust and disappeared as it was never there.

"Interesting instant learning," Virgil said picking up the second book with an image of a brain. 

Like with the first book when he opened it he received a notification saying he learned the Skill Learner and that it increased with understanding of anything by 10 percent. 

Following the same steps in the last two books he learned Barrier which created a mana barrier that lasted 10 seconds and could block low-level damage. Then he learned the shock spell which shot out a bolt of lightning that would stun an enemy within five levels of the user.

"These will be really helpful even if just helping me get away from criminals," Virgil said moving on to the next objects 

Taking the healing ring Virgil placed it on his left hand. At first, he did not feel anything but then he grabbed a piece of broken glass and cut his palm. Before he could finish the cut the wound healed right away without any scarring.

{Virgil what are you doing?}

"I was just testing the ring," Virgil replied

{All those stats in intelligence for what? What if that glass was dirt, what if it would cause you to get sick or worse}

"Well, you're right that's why I tested the ring I don't feel any change,"

{Holy you're lucky the ring passively heals all abnormanities} Sabastian replied shocked at Virgil's recklessness

Ignoring Sabastian Virgil put on the black robe with a blue rose design at the bottom half and sleeves. Once he did the Large robe struck to his size making it easy to move around without the chance of the robe getting caught

"What do you think?" Virgil asked

{Humf the robe is too good for you} Sabastian replied

"You're just jealous," Virgil teased closing his inventory

"Hey Sabastian,"

{What?}

"Nothing I just wanted to apologize for messing with you," 

{What do you want?}

"Want makes you say I want something I don't want anything...just some money to get started?" Virgil asked in a quiet tone

"...N...You know what sure thing give me some time to make you a new life so you can open up a bank} Sabastian replied cheerfully

"Hmmm, why are you so happy to help all of a sudden?" Virgil asked sensing something else going on

{What I can't just help a friend} Sabastian replied 

"...Okay thank you for the help," Virgil said with narrowed eyes

{Just you wait I will have my payback} Sabastian said in a quiet voice

"What was that?"

{Oh nothing just thinking out loud} Sabastian replied
