With his new name chosen, Noah turned his attention back to the system. He had 10,000 EXP and 1,000 SP to spend, and he wasn't about to let them go to waste. "System, show me how I can use my EXP and SP."
The system complied, opening a new interface:
---
**EXP USAGE:**
- Level Up: 5,000 EXP (Increases all stats and unlocks new abilities)
- Upgrade Skills: 2,000 EXP per skill level
**SP USAGE:**
- Purchase Skills: Varies (Check Shop for details)
- Purchase Items: Varies (Check Shop for details)
---
Noah thought for a moment. Leveling up seemed like the best way to get stronger quickly, so he decided to use 5,000 EXP to level up. As soon as he confirmed his choice, a surge of energy coursed through him, and his stats updated:
---
**LEVEL:** 1 → 2
**STRENGTH:** 110 → 130
**SPEED:** 110 → 130
**AGILITY:** 110 → 130
**ENDURANCE:** 110 → 130
**MAGIC POWER:** 0 → 50

Noah grinned. "Not bad. Now, let's see what I can do with the rest."
He decided to use another 2,000 EXP to upgrade his ANALYSIS skill. The system confirmed the upgrade, and the skill's description changed:
---
**ANALYSIS (Level 2):**
- Provides detailed information on supernatural objects, beings, or entities.
- Can now detect hidden weaknesses and potential threats.
---
With 3,000 EXP left, Noah decided to save it for later. He then turned his attention to his SP. The shop had a variety of skills and items, but one caught his eye: **TELEKINESIS** for 800 SP.
"Telekinesis? That could be useful," Noah muttered. He purchased the skill, and immediately, he felt a new awareness—a connection to the energy around him. He focused on a nearby rock, and with a thought, it lifted into the air, hovering effortlessly.
"This is amazing," Noah said, a grin spreading across his face. He spent the remaining 200 SP on a small vial of vervain, tucking it into his pocket for safekeeping.
With his new abilities and items, Noah felt a surge of confidence. He was no longer the frail, sickly boy from his old life. He was Noah Blackwood, a being with powers beyond imagination, ready to carve out his place in this dangerous new world.
As he stood in the quiet forest, the system's voice echoed in his mind once more. **Host Noah, your journey has only just begun. The path ahead will be fraught with danger, but with your unique abilities and the resources at your disposal, you have the potential to become a force to be reckoned with.**
Noah nodded, his resolve firm. He didn't know what challenges lay ahead, but he was ready to face them. For the first time in his life, he felt truly alive.
