Chapter 4: Status System.

[The status system is being initiated.]

"ARGH. Why is it always fucking painful?" He said bitterly while gritting his teeth.

[Host's body is being adapted to numerical values. Displaying the host's status.]

[Name: Aron]

[Title: White-haired Trash, Parasite, Worthless Bastard]

[Age: 11 Years old]

[Race: Human/??]

[Talents: None.]

[Strength: 0.6 - Weakling]

[Dexterity: 0.7 - Slowpoke]

[Endurance: 1.3 - Congratulation, you are more suited for being a punching bag than human!]

[Intelligence: 0.5 ...]

[Perception: 20(System Boost) - System will help host acquire skills so the perception got an ultra-booster! : )]

[Charisma: 0.4 - Beware of the mirrors!]

[Positive traits: None]

[Negative traits: Stupid, Talentless, Undeveloped Brain, Malnourished, ??]

[Skills: Fieldwork lv. 1(20/40)]

Aron became speechless, his status couldn't be worse than that. No talents, no positive traits. All negative things became reasonable at this moment, it wasn't people that were wrong about him. Everything was his own fault as he was too useless.

It was precisely a genuine miracle that he was alive right now. His undeveloped brain had problems with gathering thoughts and it wasn't surprising that people didn't like him. Hideous appearance and almost no intelligence, made people look down on him.

'I understand now. Absorbing all memories would be futile. This disordered brain would explode or forget all of them in minutes.'

[Don't worry the host, with system help. The host can naturally become the unparalleled existence with a little bit of rigorous work and a terrific amount of pain.]

'Is it possible to remove the negative traits? I don't want to be a retard for the rest of my life…'

[Affirmative. Negative traits can be removed with help of the system. Currently such option is locked. The host should work hard to complete quests.]

Aron couldn't extract any practical information from the system, so he came back to his work. The rocks were massive, and his muscles were sore from the previous working.

'No pain, no gain. Ha...'

[Fieldwork proficiency increased. Fieldwork lv.1(21/40)]

[Fieldwork proficiency increased. Fieldwork lv.1(22/40)]

...

'Stop it! I DON'T WANT TO FUCKIN SEE NOTIFICATION EVERY PROFICIENCY POINT!'

It was too annoying, he instantly started to scream inside his mind.

[The system will display appropriate notifications only when skill level up from now on.]

The peaceful silence was more sympathetic than a million notifications inside of his conscious mind. The kid could completely focus on practical work.

[Fieldwork level up]

[Due constant physical work your strength increased by 0.05]

He wasn't bothered much by these compulsory notifications and continued to work. Although it was only 0.05 strength gain, hauling these stones became little easier.

'It didn't improve my strength much.' He started involuntarily paying attention to the peculiar way of carrying the stones.

The key difference was relatively noticeable, the boy carefully positioned his arms differently and the job became easier and efficient.

'System, 0.65 Strength what does it mean?' The specific numbers accurately represented an odd way to define someone's strength or agility.

[These are statistical numbers. 0.6 means that the host is strong as 60% of the average human. It's the same logic with other stats.]

'One is an average human. It's quite shameful I am not even fit as an average person.'

His assignment was completed in no time, and the fieldwork rose to the 3rd level. It was lunchtime, so both of them came back to the hut to eat. The village wasn't prosperous in any way, most of the meals were simply made from veggies and grain. Hunters and owners of animals could allow themselves to have better meals as they could eat meat or animal products. Roger was one of the fortunate ones, and he had a coop and that allowed him to eat eggs from time to time.

After nutritious lunch the Roger said thoughtfully:

"It's enough for today. I don't think your useless body can handle more work."

The boy came back to his hut, and it was still in a terrible state but it couldn't be helped for time being. His work on Roger's farm wasn't something that allowed him to bargain for some kind of payment. The decent meals were more than he rightfully deserved.

'If weightlifting naturally increased my strength, so running around should increase my agility.' Aron started running around his hut and this sight from outsider's view looked ridiculous, however, he didn't care much about their opinions as they despised him anyway. After around half of an hour, the boy received a notification.

[Running skill generated]

[Running lv.0 (1/100)]

'So, I can obtain specific skill for any possible action I typically do? It's incredible.'

His sore legs were aching like crazy, basically, he couldn't do much with his body. An idea popped out inside of his head.

'Let's clean this place. In the end, it's my home.'

This wasn't a trivial task because the interior of this shabby place was really messy. Dust, rot, and dirt everywhere. His body was already tired and the next day will bring him more work, so he couldn't overwork himself.

Time passed and it was practically evening but his house could be considered inhabitable now. At the minimum if we consider nothing but hygiene because this building still needed many repairs and renovations.

'I am so tired...'

[Cleaning skill generated: Cleaning lv.0(1/10)]

The cleaning work generated the new skill and Aron fell asleep inside of his tidier house.

Next day morning, Roger ordered him to pluck all weeds on his fields. The overgrown weeds were severely hindering the continuous growth of cultivated crops, and they typically needed to be properly removed.

This task was elementary farmer's work, you wouldn't think it requires any technique or knowledge. Aron couldn't be more wrong as plucking weeds in a careless way didn't remove roots completely and plants would regrow after a few days.

Aron started plucking the weeds and it was a horrendous task for him. Zero knowledge about plants and puny strength. The plucked weeds needed to be moved and piled away from the field so his work became indeed harder.

[Plucking skill generated. Plucking lv.0(2/10)]

'Nice.'

[Fieldwork level up]

He instantly understood that with every level up, his conscious mind will be instantly filled with practical knowledge and his working efficiency will soar to a higher level.

[Due constant physical work your strength increased by 0.05]

[STR: 0.7]

2 hours passed and Roger reminded him that he still needs to clean up the coop. The boy was satisfied because he would increase his cleaning skill. Leveling up his skills was quite a pleasant feeling.

[Cleaning level up]

A few hours later.

They ate lunch, Aron went back to his hut and started to train running. This time it was quite fruitful, besides Running reaching level 2, his agility improved by 0,05.

'I will become better than all of these bumbling idiots that tormented previous Aron'

His goal wasn't unreachable thanks to this particular entity known as the system.
