What?
To say that I was stupefied would be an understatement.
I was just sitting in my room playing video-games on my computer when suddenly this appeared.
Of course, I lost the game the moment this... game window (?) appeared before my face.
Letting go of the keyboard and mouse of the computer I tried to touch the window only for my hand to pass right through.
Taking back my hand fast as if it had tried to bite me I looked at it even more confused and even a little scared.
What the hell is happening?
Standing up from my chair I went to the bathroom to try and clear my mind as much as I could.
Opening the door and closing it behind me I looked upfront only to come face to face with the same game window from before.
Panicking even more I got to the sink, turned it not with cold water and taking a handfull I splashed my face throurogly.
Turning off the water I took the towel and dried my face off.
Maybe I have been playing way too much games as of lately.
Finally done with the towel I took it off my face only to see once more the status window in front of me.
Taking ahold of my right cheek I made sure to pinch myself really hard and I must tell you I regretted it instantly.
"Ouch! Shit!"
Now rubing my damaged cheek I saw my [HP] suddenly go down by one only to regenerate instantly. Making the pain go away pretty fast.
Well now, that was unexpected.
Getting out of the bathroom I went back to my room.
Good thing that I have the whole apartment to myself since my step-mothers, yes, plural, had to go away thanks to work to literally the USA while I was left here in España along with my, step-sister, thankfully she decided that she didn't want to be with me either and as such decided to stay at a friends place.
And as such I'm all alone, otherwise, my oh so dear sister would have gotten a laugh out of me thinking I had either gone crazy or I had to enter the bathroom really bad.
Once back in my room I closed my rooms door and sat at the bed.
Using my knees I put to rest my elbows and started to massage my face trying to calm myself just a little more so that I can deal with this.
The very fact that when I hurted myself the pain lasted but just a second and maybe not even that, I knew that all of, this, was actually real.
Before I could panic even more my mind suddenly was calmed forcefully but not in the, it hurts way, but a good kind of calm.
Thinking this logically, maybe it ain't so bad, I get to have powers and...
...
Wait, this status window reminds me of something.
Rubbing my chin a little I tried to make sense of what was trying to come to mind when my eyes widened.
I got it!!
This is the same as the manhwa of 'The Gamer'.
The protagonist recieved a game-like power that allowed him to use skills and grow stronger through levels and experience.
Of course, how could I forget, especially since that manhwa is one of my favourites.
Now looking at the status window with a little bit too much enthusiasm I started to think of all the possible things that I could maybe do but then I thought of something that brought my line of thinking to a sudden stop.
If I was given this power that must mean that, in this world, in this planet that I live in, there most will possibly be other supernatural people.
Heck, even fucking gods!!
Suddenly all the enthusiasm that I had at obtaining powers drained from me like water was drained from fountains to collect all the coins threwn at it.
Just thinking of all the bad things that might happen to me should I be to obvious instilled a fear like no other I may have felt to this day. Mana factories, slavery...
... Death.
A sudden wave of calmness assaulted me, forcefully calming me down.
That must be [Gamers Mind] at work there.
Phuuuuu....
Just, think logically, first, I need to make a plan on how I will do things from now on.
Good thing that this has happened to me while I was in the begining of summer.
Opening the drawer of my desk I took a little notebook along with a pen and started to brainstorm.
....
Phew~
It has took a few good hours, but, I finally have it.
My, for the moment, plan to security:
1. Get the skills [I.D Create] and [I.D Escape].
2. Train them to a good level, maybe Lv 25 or so, or until I get the time dilation thingy.
3. In between try to get a few offensive, defensive and restricting skills.
4. See if I can get any new kind of class apart from the current one I have.
5. Make sure that I stay alive to get to enjoy all of this.
6. Maybe create my own kind of Guild that spans all of España, for the moment (for a far future).
All right, now with some kind of plan at least I had an objective.
Standing up from my chair once again I closed my eyes and put up my right hand.
Concentrating I started to gather my [MP] on my palm along with my desire to form an space in which I was in all alone.
Suddenly, all outside noise disappeared, and along came the chime of the system telling me that I had gotten the skill, if the sudden silence wasn't proof enough.
Smiling widely I went to the living rooms balcony and took a peek outside, and just as I expected there were no people walking the streets, neither there were any cars driving through the asphalt.
Doing a little victory dance I entered into the living room again closing the balconys crystal door.
Stretching a little after feeling such a rush I brought the system window with the skills information on it.
[ (I.D Create) ( Lv 1 ) (Passive/Active): using mana to create an space reflecting the real world without any people inside with the help of Gaia.
I.D availables:
- Empty I.D
- Undead I.D
MP: 25 ]
Cool. Doing the same action again I wished to dispel it.
Once again, the chime of a system sounded in my head and along came the outside sound.
[ (I.D Escape) ( Lv 1 ) (Active): allows through the use of Mana to exit any created I.D's. Mp: 25 ]
Yes!!
Now casting again and again both skills I started to hear ping after ping of the skills gaining new levels until I decided to stop when they got to level ten.
Looking especifically at [I.D Create] I noticed a new addition to the skill.
[ (I.D Create) ( Lv 1 ) (Passive/Active): using mana to create an space reflecting the real world without any people inside with the help of Gaia.
I.D availables:
- Empty I.D/ Time Dilation (2:1)
- Undead I.D
MP: 25 ]
Great, this is what I was aiming for.
Choosing that I.D I knew that I had to start inmediately to create skills and level them like crazy.
Now inside an empty I.D in which time was accelerated by two meaning that 1 hour outside meant 2 in here it just gave me one heck of an advantage.
Going down the apartment complex I stood on an empty street, devoid of both people and sounds.
I must say this looks a little bit creepy.
Now with a little bit of cold sweat running down my back I shook my head to dispell such useless thoughts.
Standing still I brought up my right hand to the height of my chest and started to concentrate.
Using the mana from inside me I brought it out, making a kind of blue mist to start to exit my hand.
Fascinated about it I stared for a few good seconds before coming to back into myself.
Right now I was just letting all this mana dissipate because I wasn't giving it any form.
Shaking my head once more, this time I was determined to get down all posible skills as I could.
Shaping the mana into a thinner form with a pointy bit, I continued by condensing the mana into said form.
Little by little it started to take form, until a mana arrow appeared above my hand.
[ (Mana Arrow) ( Lv 1 ) (Active): condensing mana into the form of an arrow you will be capable of shooting with but a thought.
MP per arrow: 50
Arrow per casting: 1 ]
Yes, one down, lets try it out.
Choosing the undead I.D I waited for something to happen but nothing was going on.
Looking around myself I saw nothing happening until I looked up.
A sudden wave of mist descended from the skies and inundated the streets and as far as I could see.
Putting both my arms before my head to protect it in case of anything damaging me I felt the sudden increase in humidity around me from all the mist.
Taking down both arms slowly I tried looking farther than three meters away from me to no avail.
Looking around again I started to feel some kind of unease when...
"Aaaaagggghhhh."
"Uuuuuggggghghhh."
"Wraaaaaaaaa."
I started to hear moans all around me that sent chills down my spine. Just when I was about to freak out I felt [Gamers Mind] taking effect.
Now with a clear and calm mind I saw the mist starting to receed until it was only up to my ankles, and I was surrounded by zombies.
And the zombies saw me as well. And just like the zombies that they were, they started to move towards me, as slow as they were.
Taking a deep breath, I pointed my right hand towards the zombie in front of me an casted [Mana Arrow] impaling its left shoulder and making tumble backwards.
I kept looking at the zombie for something new to happen when another ping resounded within my mind.
[ (Observe) ( Lv 1 ) (Active): the art of scrying anothers powers and stats. ]
Oh, I nearly forgot about that skill.
Casting [Observe] on the zombie, its [HP] and [MP] along with a description of it appeared before my face.
____________________
Name: Zombie

Level: 7

Well, that took a good chunk of health off of it.
Casting [Mana Arrow] four more times I aimed them at the zombie and shot.
Three went for the torso and one for his right leg, clearing his [HP] completely, killing it in a moment.
The, now double dead zombie, now on the ground, started to become black smoke that dispersed itself into the surroundings.
Whooo...
I just killed a zombie, huh.
I must say that the mc of the manhwa was right, it is a little unnerving to be so calm after just killing something.
A sudden mental chime distracted me from those obscure thoughts.
[ Congratulations for eliminating a Lv 7 zombie, you gain 5 stat points. ]
Huh?
[ The skill [Mana Arrow] has leveled up ] × 4
[ You gain 20 stat points. ]
Huuuuh?
[ You've leveled up] × 5
[ You've gained 50 stat points. ]
Huuuuuuh?!
W-what is this?!
My mind started to spin with various ideas and theorys running through my head one after another until I felt [Gamers Mind] taking effect.
I will try to uncover this later on, for now, lets kill the rest of the zombies.
....
Phew~
Now that's what I call an experience spree.
So, going back, I started to kill zombies until I got to Lv 20 myself and the skill [Mana Arrow] to level thirty, and I think I've got an idea of how I'm recieving so many SP.
To start with, there is the typical recieval of stat points after each level up. Following those I came to the conclusion that for every level obtained, I get 10 stat points. Very normal.
Then, after getting [Mana Arrow] to level 30, apparently, I gain stat points after each level up the following way.
Cough, cough. Every time I leveled up until level 10, I obtained 5 SP for each level up.
From level 11 until level 20, I obtained 10 SP for each level up. And from level 21 until level thirty, I obtained 20 SP for each level up.
This way of giving SP seemed to work the same way every time I killed an enemy, so, I ended up killing next to forty zombies before calling quits to understand a little what was happening with all the SP that I was getting.
So now, here I am, in my room, outside of the I.Ds looking at the absurd amount of stat points that I've gained. Making my status look like this:
