NOVEL WEB Chapter 14 - Early Return
Jumping up in his bed, Adam's heart was beating rapidly as his mind and body were on high alert.
Realising that he was in his bed, he calmed down.
[System did I manage to LVL UP before my dungeon form was destroyed] he asked.
{LVL UP - You are now LVL 4 and have an increase in all stats and an extra stat point, where do you wish to spend your stat point}.
[Spend it on MP] he replied without hesitation.
[Show me my current status]
{Status:
Mortal LVL: 4
EXP: 1 / 200
HP: 130
MP: 15
Strength: 13
Speed: 14
Intelligence: 18
Charisma: 5
Luck: 5}.
He was happy with his current stats and could feel his energy had risen the most, his MP, and felt overall his body had improved.
He noticed he still didn't have any skills that he could use, and only had the unique skill the collector, but wasn't in a rush to buy skills and wanted to buy the B Rank Mortal Recovery Pill for his Aunt.
One thing he was wondering, but had never attempted, was to use items from the inventory in real life.
{It is not possible to use items from the inventory in this reality}.
With that idea shut down, he was kind of disappointed, then thought about his collector skill.
[What about the collector skill, can I summon them in this reality] he asked.
{As a unique skill, it is still a skill so can be used anywhere as long as you have the energy to perform the skill} answered the system.
As he heard the system's answer, he jumped out of his bed in joy and looking at his clock, he saw it was 2 in the morning, as he was in the dungeon for 8 hours but time is twice as fast in the dungeon.
"Leporidae Summon," he stated.
He felt the same sensation he would feel in the dungeon as though something had left his mental beastpedia and his energy lowered slightly.
As that occurred to him, a small white hare-like beast appeared on the ground in front of him.
"Amazing, it worked" he exclaimed, but remembered it was 2 am and went silent as not to cause a racket in his building.
Retracting the summon, he now knew that he could use his unique skill in this reality, so felt much more secure, but knew not to use it unless it was an emergency otherwise it would cause an enormous commotion if a beast appeared out of thin air.
"I have had an early return, so I might as well take a late-night stroll to get more familiar with the area in person rather than maps," he decided.
Walking out of his apartment, he locked his door behind him and walked down the stairs to the ground floor, and to his surprise, the security was still running and there was a guard stationed at the front.
The guard nodded at him, which Adam replied to with a small nod as he puts his hood up and walked out of the building.
The beautiful night sky with the stars and moon radiating through, was glistening over the water and the bustling Brooklyn bridge.
Sitting down in Brooklyn bridge park that his apartment was watching over, he calmly sat there contemplating life itself as he looked at the wondrous view before him.
Sat in the calm nature soothed his mind, that was always alert and focused, and allowed him to relax for the first time since he integrated with the system.
In such a relaxed state he felt free and as though he was floating, but after half an hour he felt the nice sensation disappear, so got up and walked towards the food store, that he knew was open 24 hours, near him.
Despite it being the middle of the night, the Brooklyn streets were brightly lit and with his intelligence stat at 18 and his Hunter's mind, his senses were very sensitive and he could hear loud sounds of music in the distance.
Adam knew that it was a club that was in the area, and since the age of 15 he never had time to have fun so decided to head in that direction and see what clubbing was like first hand and why all those his age would go to them.
Having recently turned 18 he knew he was still under-aged to drink, but these days nobody followed the laws and giving the bouncer at the front some money would allow you to get into any club.
Money was the least of Adam's worries.
[System how much gold do I have] he asked.
{Altogether you have 1,660, excluding the money you have already withdrawn from the system}.
He had 16,660 dollars equivalent in two nights, why would he care about money when he knew that there was cultivation and strength like in comics and movies.
Buying himself some chips and a soda, which he never had the luxury of doing before, he headed towards the area where the night club was.
Walking slowly he reached the club in 20 minutes and had already finished his chips and drink by then.
He could see flashing colourful lights and scarcely dressed women and men walking in and leaving.
From the way, they were moving and their dilated pupils, Adam had deduced that most of them were under the influence of either alcohol or drugs.
Adam had no appeal towards drugs as it would only ruin his mind and body and without that, it was a waste of money and his Hunter's mind wouldn't allow him to be vulnerable or under the influence of any drug.
Walking along the red carpet that lay outside the club he stood before the two large men who were wearing black suits.
"ID and 100 dollars entrance fee" stated one of the men as he places his palm out.
Above their heads Adam could see:
LVL 3
HP: 120
Strength: 15
Speed: 9
Intelligence: 9
LVL 3
HP: 130
Strength: 14
Speed: 10
Intelligence: 10
Seeing this Adam wasn't scared of their ability in the slightest and knew that they had merely trained their bodies with weights and large amounts of food, and weren't cultivators.
Placing 100 dollars on the man's palm then placing 100 dollars in each of their pockets he walked straight past them.
With the additional money, they had no reason to stop him and just smiled, while the figure in a plain black tracksuit and long tied back black hair walked into the club.
