-"Fuck, what the hell are you doing there in the dark!?"
I woke up in the morning and realized it was Luna, who was motionless and watching me in the dark, it was strange enough that she was in my room, even yesterday when she called me she just came to the door, never entering the room.
-"I was just coming to call you for breakfast."
-"And why aren't you at school?"
-"I stayed at home to take care of you today, anyway since you're awake you better go down before the food gets cold."
Luna then ran out of my room without waiting for my answer, maybe she reflected a little on her attitude after what happened, it seems that my effort was not wasted after all, getting out of bed I felt pain in my body, especially in my shoulder and chest where I was hit by the blonde's kick.
Enduring the pain I decided to open my status to see if there was any change.
Host: Jason Smith Age:17 Gender: Male Race: Human Status: Injured(-0.1 strength when using left shoulder)
Stamina: 100%
Class: Brawler
Strength:0.7 Intelligence:0.7
Speed: 0.6 Wisdom: 0.7
Vitality:0.6 @#$%&*
Resistance:0.5 @#$%&*
Skills: Boxing level 1/5 (15%), provoke level 0/3(00%)
There were some new things in my status and my attributes had gone up, but I didn't feel much different, maybe because of my injured status, I wonder what would be the difference between an average person's attributes and mine, but the system soon gave me an answer when I started to think about it.
[The average untrained adult's attributes are between 0.5 and 0.7. And the peak athlete's are 1.0 to 1.2 on one or two attributes depending on the sport played and the type of training .]
The attributes should be easy to increase at the beginning and difficult to increase later, what bothers me is the fact that peak athletes can only go up to 1.2 at the most, is this the limit of the human body? Is this my limit even with the system?It was a difficult question for sure, but the system didn't seem to have the answer this time, leaving that aside I started to focus on what was new in my status starting with my class that was now brawler.
Brawler: Dirty play? There are no rules on the streets! The winner is champion and the loser is a nobody. There is no honor and no fair play in a fight to the death! The class holder obtains the taunt skill.
Obtain condition: Defeat an opponent in a desperate fight using any means possible.
Provoke: Annoy your opponents like a pro, low probability of putting the opponent in a frenzy state.
Lv 1: Be a master of cursing, a true poisonous tongue.
Lv 2: Identify and learn how to make use of your opponent's "reverse scale".
Lv 3: Imbue your disgust in your words increasing the chances of provoking frenzy in your opponent.
My class didn't have a level, so it only served as a kind of title that granted skills, other than that I noticed that my boxing skill profession had gone 10% up at once, it seems that at this stage what I most need to improve is real fights.
Having finished checking everything I felt my stomach growl so I went downstairs where Luna was waiting for me, I sat down without much ceremony and started to eat I was very hungry, I thought it was because I hadn't eaten anything last night, but my hunger was only satisfied after three plates of bacon and eggs and two glasses of milk.I reasoned that maybe it was because of my increased stats, it must have used up large amounts of energy at once, forcing my body to replenish it somehow.
-"Hey, are you ok? That blow to the shoulder was pretty bad I heard the noise from afar."
You are reading story I have a system at novel35.com
-"It still hurts a little, but it will be fine in a couple of days."
-"About our father, I talked to him and explained the situation, I think he is not angry anymore."
-"It doesn't matter, the old man and I never got along well to begin with."
Without much desire to continue the conversation I went up the stairs and into my room thinking about my father, we weren't always so far apart, when my mother was still alive we were a happy family, but when she died of cancer and everything changed for the worse, so he adopted Luna, maybe to try to fill some of the hole my mother had left, and then he started to change, gradually he started to stop worrying about me and became more and more obsessed with Luna, it was bad to the point of seeming that I am an intruder in this house.
Luna's POV
I haven't gotten along very well with my brother, it all started 2 years ago when father started to care less and less about Jason and at the same time he pampered me like I was some kind of princess, Jason then started to spend more and more time away from home because father treated him worse, I had already passed through two families before moving to this one and I didn't want to be thrown away again so I followed my father's example and also started to exclude him too, slowly he stopped being present at our family meals preferring to stay in his room or out with his friends.
This continued until yesterday, I'm not sure how it happened but one of the teachers caught him harassing a student so he was suspended but our father didn't even care and sent him to be my workhorse/bodyguard on my way to the market As usual, I absolutely didn't want to be seen with him so I kept my distance from him the entire time and came home early.
While I was walking thinking about what to do for dinner I bumped into some delinquents who started to surround me, I was terrified and tried to leave, but they surrounded me, I felt like crying at that moment.
It was then that Jason appeared, at that moment I didn't even consider if he was willing to help me, I thought it was his obligation to do so.
-"Hey Jason, hurry up and come help me what are you waiting for, the pigs grow wings? (L)
-"I think you must be confusing me with someone else, I don't know you."(J)
-"Don't be an idiot, I'm your sister!!"(L)
-"My sister is the type of person who says she doesn't like walking around me because I'm disgusting, so even if I were your brother, you wouldn't want me to interfere in your business with your friends, would you?"(J)
When I heard what he said I realized how far we were from each other, for the others we were brothers, but for us we were two strangers who lived in the same house, I wasn't important enough dor him to fight for me, I lost all my hope and prepared myself for the worst, but then while I was stunned Jason threw me the two shopping bags and started picking fights with the three of them.
He quickly took down one of the delinquent, I never knew he could fight like that he was like a hero out of a comic book, I saw one of the other two grab a iron pipe and approach Jason, I screamed to warn him but he still ended up getting hit.
I thought it would end there and once again I thought the worst, but he gritted his teeth and kept fighting, knocking down his blue hair and getting hit by the blonde, I looked at Jason as he rolled on the floor, why was he fighting? I wasn't important to him. him, then why did he fight so much?
As I was lost in thought he somehow knocked the blonde down and called me to go home, I regretted having treated him so badly and wanted to apologize but the words seemed to stick in my throat like I wasn't worthy of be forgiven after such a long time of ignorance.
Before I knew it we were home, Dad didn't blink when he saw Jason hurt but started cursing a lot when he saw my eyes swollen from crying, Jason climbed the stairs unperturbed despite our dad's yelling but his back looked so lonely as he was going upstairs alone, I hope it's not too late to redeem myself.
