Battle God Ascension

”Whos there? ” Felix asked with a vague look of apprehension.

Thankfully the issue concerning his cultivation system was discussed in his subconscious, else who knew what would happen if someone found out about it?

At this point, he couldn trust anyone to keep it a secret.

After all, most humans were currently trying their hardest to get into the Demirs good books.

He couldn forget that it was a neighbor that gave away his fathers location when the Enforcers came to arrest him.

In any case, he had to be careful to avoid letting the information leak, at least until he was strong enough to protect himself.

The knock came once again and this time a bit more forceful.

”Oi, Whats going on in there? ” a gruff voice asked from the other side. ”If you don answer, Id be happy to throw away this piece of shit Im carrying. ”

Felix recognized the voice on the other side so he replied. ”… Nothing that should concern you. ”

”Hmmph, your cocky attitude will get you killed someday. ”

”You are here to drop off my breakfast, right? ” Felix couldn be bothered to answer the other party.

”Bastard. ” A mini hatch at the bottom of the door was opened and a tray with a bowl of gruel and moldy bread slid in before it was promptly closed.

”Enjoy. ” With a sarcastic undertone, the other party promptly left.

Felix stayed in place and waited until the footsteps were gone before he rushed forward to pick up the bowl.

Wolfing down the moldy bread, he didn stop until it choked him.

[Maybe take it easy on the bread]

Felix spat. ”Shut it. ”

Once the bread managed to get past his throat, he picked up the bowl of gruel and took everything in it, even licking the plate before dropping the bowl.

It produced a clinking sound as it hit the tray.

”Hah. ” Felix collapsed on the cold floor and sighed. ”You must be disgusted. ”

[I completely understand. Your body is in terrible condition and even though both the bread and gruel would cause you major constipation… its better than nothing]

”Yeah… ” Felix muttered with a complicated expression. ”Its better than nothing. ”

[How about testing your skills?]

”Why would I want to do that? ”

[Remember what I said about your constitution freeing itself the more you use the system skills?]

”…You want to siphon energy from it to recover? ”

[That and also help you recover. You might not need to eat food if you do as I say]

Felix pursed his lips before tersely agreeing. ”Alright then. ”

After waiting for a bit to allow the… meal to digest, Felix got to his feet and assumed sword wielding stance.

The stance was without form but it didn matter since it wasn a real fight.

With no tool in sight, he made use of his arm as a sword.

”What next? ”

[Mentally call out the skill you wish to use and it would automatically activate]

”Noted, ” Felix replied.

Taking a deep breath, he called out the first skill.

Vertical slash

Immediately, he felt power flow from his abdomen before flowing toward his right arm.

Felix was about to swing his arm when Ayas voice resounded in his head.

[I don advise you to unleash the attack as it would leave marks. Would you be able to explain how such marks suddenly appeared?]

”Thats… ” Felix coughed awkwardly before retracting his arm.

He was caught up in the moment and forgot the aftereffects of his actions.

After getting a feel for both skills under Swordsmans class, Felix moved his attention to [Analyst].

”What does this do? ” He casually asked.

[I believe that skill is for my usage]

Felix put up a brow. ”For you? ”

[Mn, it allows me to view the world as numbers and also make decisions based on those numbers]

”Can I use it? ” Felix asked.

[Yes, but I doubt youd be able to utilize it well so don bother]

Felixs eyebrow twitched at the low-key insult.

Its not every day Awakened got insulted by their system.

Pushing the petty thoughts aside, Felix shifted his attention to the [Gladiator] title.

After a few seconds of pondering, he decided to equip the title.

The next moment, a pop-up screen appeared next to his status window.

____________

[Battle God interface]

__________________

At the same time as the pop-up screen appeared, he felt a qualitative change in his physique.

As colorless energy coursed through his veins, Felix couldn help but gasp in delight.

He felt stronger, and faster… like he wouldn lose if he was in the same situation as yesterday.

Of course, along with the power came the urge to fight.

It was like an itch that wouldn go away until he sated the urge.

”I expected more actually but its not bad, ” Felix muttered as he considered if he got the skill because of the condition of the battle yesterday.

[The system cataloged your current state and gave a title befitting your situation yesterday. Please note that the title is capable of evolution]

Felix pursed his lips. ”… I see. ”

After moving around a little, he deactivated the skill and laid back in bed while Aya got to work using the energy that escaped from the sealed constitution.

Not too long after and Felix drifted off to sleep.

By the time he woke up, it was already evening as the sun hid and the moon peered from behind the clouds.

[How are you feeling now?]

Felix stretched a few times before nodding. ”It worked. I feel amazing. ”

[Good. Now please try to avoid getting beat up until we can get a chance to leave this cell]

”I can guarantee that. ” Felix joked. ”Right now… ”

Click

The familiar sound of the door leading to his cell opening resounded causing him to stay silent.

Footsteps slowly approached at which point he heard Charlies annoying voice.

Felix clicked his tongue. ”That bastard is here again… he wasn joking about selling me off? ”

The footsteps stopped just outside the doors to his cell and At that moment, Felix felt his heart palpitate as a fearsome power leaked in from the other side.
