Heading down the hallways of Forks Highschool, Alan felt like he was being stared at by practically the entire student body, back when he had first gained the system, he had noticed a little staring, it had been what he thought a small consequence of the increased charisma, but then again, the system stats were confusing, and he still wasn't entirely used to them, Strength and other physical stats were basic and he could clearly tell their effects on him whilst intelligence, charisma and Luck were much more confusing.
If he had to say for himself… he could both notice the effects and not at the same time, when he first thought of the situations that had happened to him, he considered them as bad luck, as an unlucky fate that had been thrust forwards at him but if he looked at them from a different more overseeing perspective, was it truly so?
He learned how to deal with grief whilst not being completly ruined by it because the people he lost were ones that he had just gotten attached to.
He got into a dangerous situation that made it that he had to push himself far past what he thought were his limits, until he was forced to grow as both a person and in pure combat strength and intelligence.
He got put into a situation and in the end, the enemy wasn't someone that was impossible to beat, infact, it was almost perfect in a way, it was an opponent that he had to struggle against, an opponent that he had to grow to beat, they weren't unbeatable… they were like a rock that was just big enough that he had to learn how to jump over it.
'Damned it all… is this my luck? If I looked at it from this perspective… its really good, but if i look at it from my own perspective… I'd have rather just not gone through all that pain and suffering at all.' Alan thought to himself before he released a long winded sigh of pure exhaustion that he seemed to almost be releasing constantly these days, to him, it felt like his entire life had become a sort of play for basic entertainment.
'Weak to strong bullshit, if I was in a movie trope, I would have wanted to atleast be the comedic relief overpowered character.' Alan thought to himself amusedly as he walked down the hallway and finally reached his first classroom of the day as he headed inside.
His mind wandering over to his other stat, the one that he had now been feeling a lot more especially after his evolution.
Charisma.
Before he had… changed, it had been there, he had felt its effect, especially with how easily he had connected with the three bullies and made friends with them, or with how easily he had seemed to become decent friends with Alice Cullen, even though that relationship most certainly was on hold after what he had just seen play out in the parking lot.
But now, now it felt different than before, it was… well he knew how he looked now, he had seen himself in the mirror afterall, if before the changes were more based on the feelings that he incited on others, now they were based on looks aswell and not just emotional intelligence or empathy and other mental aspects of what could be called 'Charisma.'
And then there was the final confusing status, Intelligence, the more he used it, the more he learned just exactly what had changed with him, it wasn't per say, pure genius, he couldn't create or invent some sci-fi bullshit as he hoped he would be able to, it was more of an ability that let him grow faster, a sort of potential, in a way, it could better be called talent, it felt like he could learn things at a much faster rate than he could before.
He had gone from someone with basically zero combat capabilities, a mere week ago, into someone that he was sure could go toe to toe with almost any military trained human in the world and that was something he hadn't particularly noticed, he hadn't actually been fighting against humans afterall, but now that he thought about it, he could, he truly could.
His instincts, his reaction speed, his physical powers aswell as the power that he had gained after the fight with Johanna, if he combined everything together and the fact that he could learn about an opponent simply by using observe? It was quite the deadly combination when facing a human.
'Still… I'd likely die pretty quickly if I faced anyone with a fire arm.' Alan thought to himself as he walked to his desk inside the classroom and sat on his chair before turning to look out of the window.
It was at that moment that his thoughts wandered back to his entire status and the change that he had gone through, his mind wandered to the time when the evolution had occurred, right after a battle against slimes that he had almost fully gotten bored of, to the point that he even had thoughts about just leaving before evolving to try and fight Johanna.
'I'm glad my dumbass didn't do that.' Alan thought with a shiver going through his entire body as he thought about what could have happened if he had actually fought Johanna before he had evolved.
'That… that wouldn't have gone well at all. At fucking all. I would have likely become another skin body suit at her disposal.' He thought before his eyes turned to face forward as he called forth the system window with a single mental command.
'Status Menu.' Alan thought and in a single instant, the menu appeared before him, as it floated there right before him.
The changes were major to the actual point stats, it was more the changes to a single line of text. That single line had changed everything else.
