3.

Jacob Murphy was involved in a ghastly accident that sent him to the hospital, and he was in a coma for one week.

One faithful day, at the hospital, while the nurses and doctors are running around, taking care of different patients. Jacob Murphy suddenly wakes up from his coma and is confused about his surroundings.

He glanced around in confusion before hearing a strange voice in his head.

PROCESSING HAS BEEN COMPLETED

POWERS HAVE BEEN GRANTED TO THE VESSEL.

Murphy rose sluggishly from his bed feeling a bit relieved from his earlier headache. He glanced outside the window and noticed it was morning already.

"Can't believe I survived that." Murphy mused as the encounter with the ghastly accident began to play in his head over and over again like it was yesterday, not knowing it was up to one month.

"My wounds.." Murphy glanced at his injured body but there was nothing. Not even a single scratch, which made him puzzled.

"What is this thing, like a system, am I a robot?" Murphy wonders.

"I had doubts about this system thing earlier..but after what happened, it convinced me that it's real. The question is, where did it come from?"

Then, suddenly, the system displayed a notification.

Murphy gazed at the holographic screen in front of him with his fingers rubbing his chin in contemplation.

"This is almost like the game I played back in those days." Murphy mused in contemplation. He had no reason to doubt how authentic the system was after what he went through, so he just proceeded to examine it and figure out how it worked fully.

"If it's truly like the game, then leveling up would make me stronger." Murphy grinned. He has always been the weak human that all rich people bullied.

"Hmm..strange. I've never heard of anyone with an electric ability, and it requires mana?" Murphy mused with a puzzled expression while examining the screen.  "Also, the dash ability also requires mana for use. Creatures who only rely on speed don't need mana to become fast..but once their stamina rubs out their pace reduces. Why then do I need mana, but there is no panel for stamina?"

None of it made sense to Murphy, and after pondering for several more minutes he dismissed the thoughts and shifted his gaze to the stats panel.

"20 available points. I don't need anyone to tell me what happens once I place the points in my stats." Murphy smirked with his gaze glued on the screen floating in front of him.

"Right now, I need to become stronger to at least fight back my oppressors. Agility won't make me strong; it's more like defensive stats. Same as reflex."

"Speed still looks handy, but strength is what I need the most. If I can get stronger by increasing my strength.

STRENGTH + 20 Equals To 40 Strength.

In conclusion, Murphy added his points to his strength stats and felt a refreshing energy surge through his body, and his muscles increased slightly.

"I don't feel any different." Murphy lamented as he rose from the bed and threw out a few punches in the air, but couldn't feel any change in the impact.

"Maybe just 20 points isn't enough." Murphy mused while scanning through the screen until he reached the end which stated the daily quests.

"Ah, I forgot about this. Daily quest." Murphy uttered gleefully as he read through the quests. "10 pushups is a piece of cake..same as sit-ups and lifting. The problem is, how am I going to run to complete the last quest? The doctors won't let me leave the hospital, not after what happened; they would want to run some tests."

Murphy then got down and swiftly completed the push-ups and sit-ups. He stood up, lifted his wooden bed off the floor, and completed the third quest with ease.

"Just one left...maybe I can complete it here also." Murphy mused as he began to run back and forth in his small room until he finally received the last notification.

REWARDS: 10 STATS POINTS

CHOOSE YOUR HIDDEN REWARD

Murphy's eyes widened in shock after reading the notification.

"Hidden reward?" He questioned before clicking on it.

Laser beam sword BLADE {GRADE 4

FULL MANA RECOVERY

"A weapon, and a full recovery of my mana. Both sound handy."

"If I had a weapon back in the quest venue I wouldn't have been scared the way I was, and defeated those rats with ease. If I want to hunt more monsters and complete more quests in the future to level up, then I will need a decent weapon like this one."
