Chapter 6: Preparations for the future
Lumen had a very good edge over the rest of the human race now that his stats had all been upgraded. However modern conventional weapons were still very much a threat to him, as although he was the strongest, he was still only slightly above the Olympic and top athletes of this world, making him only advantaged in physical fights between other humans.
If anything like guns, artillery or even bladed weapons with enough force behind them were used on him, he would still be killed easily.
Hell, he would still be overwhelmed by a group of people with lower strength than him, as such levels of one man army's were only possible through cultivation.
He may have an eternal lifespan, but he was just as susceptible to death as any other normal person.
At least that was the case for now
After examining his stats for a while, Lumen began to look around the lab at the mess he made during his painful body enhancement earlier on.
This led him to the awkward situation of having to clean up the blood that seemed to be everywhere himself.
Lumen was about to use the genius idea of creating something like robot helpers to run his business and take care of menial tasks like this for him, but with his final revenge on the future human race he had lost the ability to do so.
But while thinking of his past, a new system window showed up in front of him, filling him with glee as his progress as a human hadn't stopped yet!
And clearly his journey had only just begun as he read the description of the quest that showed up.
[Ding! Quest received.]
[Quest: Enhancing the body
Quest Description: You are now only a worthless F tier being, the lowest of the multiverse and weak enough to be swatted by any being of E tier above. Work your hardest and do your best to reach the requirements needed to upgrade the tier of your soul.
Quest Requirements: Reach level 25, E grade soul tier
Quest Rewards: Revealed upon completion]
However he had noticed that there was currently no way for him to level up while on Earth other than completing quests like this one if he managed to obtain more...
'I guess I can only wait until the Fantasia realm opens to realise this goal.'
'So am I to assume that before this Fantasia Realm opens, the only way for me to level up is through completing these quests? That's kinda boring...'
And so it was decided.
Lumen had all of these important thoughts that would affect the way he would do things in the future, all while cleaning up the mess he made in the lab.
It was only 2 hours of cleaning later that he was finally finished and had re-sterilised the lab.
Lumen kept thinking how good it would be to have some robot helpers to do all of this work for him, but the more he kept thinking about this, the more he felt depressed at losing his knowledge of the future.
The only respite he had was that he could gain it back according to what the system said, he could only hope this was true.
It was only 10 minutes later after some sulking that he came to accept the fact that this was a reality as well.
He was finished with his cleaning and his lab looked spotless, now he could put his attention elsewhere.
'Oh mysterious and all powerful system! How long is left until the opening of the Fantasia Realm.' n.-0Velb1n
[345:29:05]
'So a little over 2 weeks huh, I should spend that time preparing to the utmost for this Fantasia Realm's' descent.'
Lumen kept on inspecting his status and looking over all of his details, before he was reminded of his other quest he had kept waiting.
[Quest: Body training (2)
Quest Description: You have taken the easy route in the first quest by choosing to use drugs over the traditional method of training. Although this is arguably the more cheap and easy method, it is also more beneficial as you received more benefits from it in a shorter time span. However, now the real training begins. You will keep training every day until the opening of the Fantasia realm in order to prepare yourself for what is coming, as you may never age but you are still susceptible to bodily harm and can succumb to death. You are now one with your body, and so you will experience a true death when you die.
Quest Requirements: Complete a 30km run, 300 push ups, comprehensive weight training until failure.
Quest Rewards: 1 Strength, 1 Endurance, 1 Stamina, 1 Agility, 1 Unallocated stat point, 100 credits.
Quest time limit: 23 hours 29 mins]
Lumen looked at the quest and didn't think it would be quite a challenge to complete, as his newly obtained body was at the absolute peak of human potential and so be was sure to complete this in no time.
He would come to regret this later on.
'It's a shame this quest doesn't reward experience or I would have been able to already step on the path of upgrading my soul tier. God I just can't wait for the moment it upgrades, I wonder what it feels like.....'
His thoughts trailed as he exited the lab and headed for the best place for him to complete his body training quest, the air field.
