The Life Hacker System 5 Levelling Up

Taka soon regained consciousness.

Looking around he realised he was sprawled across the floor.

The voices of his father and sister could be heard a short distance away. Trying to stand Taka groaned, due to pa.s.sing out he didn't have enough strength in his arms to help himself up. Every time he tried he'd fall down, hearing a disturbance in the kitchen his father and sister raced in.

Helping him to his feet they soon realised how weak Taka really was at this moment in time.

After helping him to his bed, his sister Becky told his father how strange he was acting during the time she was making the breakfast.

Normally a child acting strange wouldn't draw attention however coupled with the fact that Taka had just collapsed both of them came to the wrong conclusion.

Thinking he was ill they called the Doctor, as well as calling the doctor they called his school to let them know he wouldn't be attending.

-

After hearing about this Taka was overjoyed mainly due to the fact that now he had enough time to investigate the system more thoroughly, And find out how to level up to increase his skills and abilities.

The Doctor arrived shortly after she was called.

After checking Taka over she realised that he wasn't sick in the least but according to his father, he'd collapsed a short time ago. What really confused her was the fact the child in front of her was meant to be a 10 year old child. But he didn't act like it at all.

Speaking to his father the Doctor soon discovered that the child had been acting strange all morning according to his elder sister. Coupled with the fact he'd collapsed, they had called just in case anything was wrong which made perfect sense to the Doctor. I mean it's not normal for a 10 year old to just suddenly collapse.

-

Even though he had a clean bill of health the Doctor still recommended he rest and take it easy for a few days. Telling them to call her if any problems arose. Giving them her card, she left shortly after.

With the Doctor ordering him to rest Taka agreed fully and proceeded to do exactly what he was told which again seemed strange to both his sister and his father.

-

Time pa.s.sed.

Taka was finally alone in the house.

Sitting on his bed he reopened the system.

His stats appeared once again.

-

-

Looking at his experience bar he wondered how he could increase it. With the mission menu locked he'd have to find a way round it otherwise his level would never increase.

Knowing too little about the system, Taka was stumped.

-

Unlike video games he couldn't just run out of his house and kill monsters because the simple fact was this was the real world monsters didn't exist, well technically they did but only in stories.

Additionally unlike video games he couldn't just run out and kill a bunch of people because again this was the real world. He didn't want to be sent to prison at the age of 10 or be branded as a monster at least not yet.

-

The only idea he had was to ask the system and so he did.

Taka: System?

System: Yes host.

Taka: Is there a way that I can gain experience points without doing missions?

System: There is. Would you like to hear your options?

Hearing this Taka was ecstatic.

Excitement could be heard in his voice.

Taka: Y-Y-Yes Please system.

System: As you wish.

-

[Easy]

[Hard]

[Quick]

[Slow]

-

His options appeared. Followed by the systems voice.

System: Host please pick two.

-

Taka immediately chose [Easy] and [Quick].

Shortly after the system spoke.

-

System: Host you have chosen [Easy] and [Quick]. Please confirm your choices.

-

[Would you like to confirm?]

-

Taka quickly pressed confirm.

-

System: Host has chosen [Easy] and [Quick]. The quickest and easiest method is by exchanging money for experience points. This method however only works at lower levels, after exceeding level 10 this method is no longer available.

-

Taka quickly paled knowing how poor his family was and the limited funds he had at his disposal.

Mustering his confidence he asked.

-

Taka: System please tell me the conversion rate of money to experience points.

-

System: Host, normally the conversion rate would be for every 10,000 dollars you gain one experience point but because of all of the hosts good deeds the conversion rate has been dropped drastically. So now the conversion rate is for every dollar you can get 1 experience point.

-

Hearing this he erupted into a roar of celebration scaring the birds outside his window.

Thankfully a few months before was the birthday of the old version of him. Where he'd received money instead of presents, due to his parents being unable to afford anything the old him wanted.

-

Searching his room he found his money box and withdrew the money from it. There was 160 dollars in it.

-

Immediately calling out to the system.

Taka: System?

System: Here Host.

Taka: I would like to exchange 100 dollars for 100 experience points.

System: [Host has requested to exchange 100 dollars for 100 experience points]

-

[Would you like to confirm?]

-

With no hesitation Taka pressed confirm.

Immediately he felt a change, not only in himself but also the system.

-

A notification rang out.

[DING]
