4 – New Life?

'So what's up with this bullshit tanky build? I'm not putting up with that kind of crap. I need to address this.' Hisashi said indignantly at the reveal of his stats.

'Uhm system, could you give me a reference for these stats? It's kind of useless as is.' he asked the system.

[Answer: A regular human would roughly have 1 point for each stat on average]Yôur favorite stories on n/o/(v)e/lbin(.)com

'So that means I'm like super powerful now right?' he asked excitedly, you could almost see the twinkle in his beady bug eyes.

[Answer: Only when compared to regular humans or pluses. Compared to anything else host is extremely weak due to the complications experienced during hollowfication. Even a non-seated Shinigami fresh out of the academy could easily destroy you currently. For clearer reference Kurosaki Ichigo before even unlocking his Shinigami powers had a Spirit Power of 10 which though unlikely would still be enough to be considered a potential hazard to your current self. Meanwhile Ishida Uryuu would be able to annihilate you in a single shot.]

'Damn. Is there no good news?' he asked rhetorically.

[Answer: Negative]

'Really?' he became dispirited as he responded.

[Answer: Though host is currently extremely weak thanks to the Hollow System host has no barriers in his growth, if host continues to absorb spirit power, devour souls and complete missions unlike other Hollows host is guaranteed to reach Vasto Lorde or more without any bottlenecks or dead ends in the progress. Unlike other spiritual beings host is also able to guide his growth through the use of stat points gained through levelling and missions allowing him to branch on other pathways rather than being stuck on a predetermined path. Finally through the system host is also able to complete missions and gain skills unusual or even unavailable to other hollows. Finally the conversion of spirit power and devoured souls is far more efficient with the assistance of the system allowing for much faster growth than your regular every day Hollow.]

'Well I guess that's finally some good news at least if I can survive that long.' he muttered to himself.

'Wait speaking of survival wasn't Aizen snooping on everyone there when I got attacked by White? Aren't I absolutely fucked?' he suddenly realised.

"Sweet!" he yelled out, but it sounded like a hollow roar so he quickly shut up afraid he might attract attention. Thankfully he was lucky and it didn't seem anyone with sufficient spiritual power was around.

'Ok pump it into dexterity.' he made sure to just think again.

[Answer: Affirmative host's dexterity has been upgrade by 1 to 8]

He looked at himself in the pond again and it seemed like he had become slightly more streamlined, though not much.

'Still a beetle after all I guess. You can call me Volkswagen now though!' he chuckled at his own corny joke. Ah his little sister would have definitely given him a sympathy laugh. This thought quickly dampened his momentary mirth.

"Reina...I've been a failure of a brother." he mumbled to himself. He looks at the reflection in the water again and shakes his head.

'Ok this park has been fully exhausted and it isn't like larger animals are constantly dying in the park. It'll be a while before the grocery store is restocked. What now?' he asked himself.
