"What was that? Say that again."
Alex couldn't believe his mind because it was too unimaginable.
But if something as ridiculous as transmigration was real, and it was even in a parallel Earth, in his own younger self, then a system was not that unrealistic anymore.
He had lived a poor life, but even he had read some fantasy novels in his previous life.
So he was familiar with this system thing. But there were always three types of systems.
One was for creating a champion to avenge its creator or complete some mission for him, one was created by some evil deity to consume the system user after they reached a powerful level, and finally, there were some creators who created systems for fun, nothing more than that.
"So which one is mine? Am I destined for something great or am I destined for doom, even in this life, even after having a golden finger?" Alex thought in his mind.
"Anyways, anything is better than nothing. At least I'll become very powerful, even if the system has an evil creator."
Alex had lost expectations for life because he was always treated like dirt in his previous life.
So he was happy to even be alive after this, and his parents were still alive.
They had entered the wilderness 5 days ago and still hadn't returned.
That's why no one knew that Alex had already died once.
"I'll become stronger, even if not for me, but for Mom and Dad."
It was not that he was not excited, but he had lost the emotions to express his joys because he hadn't done it for years since his parents died.
He had always been trying to survive a little longer in that cruel world.
"System, can you tell me about yourself in detail?"
[Of course, host. You will break through a single cultivation realm every 3 days. But your foundation will depend on the quest given by the system.
If you can complete the quest 20%, you will get a low-level foundation and will break through to the next level.
For 40% = Medium Level
For 60% = High Level
For 80% = Top Level
For 100% = Extreme Level.
Each level of foundation is 2 times stronger than the previous level.
Everyone on this planet normally breaks through with a low or mid-level foundation. And only the best ones have high-level foundations.
Note: Even if you can't complete the task, you will still break through. But without a proper foundation, your body wouldn't be able to handle the power of the next levels. Even a single unstable foundation might be fatal in the future.]
"Oh man. It is a limitless system but can be very lethal." Alex started to become a little excited after many years.
[Ding! Your first mission is here.
Task 1: Complete 500 push-ups in 3 days.
Task 2: Complete 50 km running in 3 days.
Task 3: Eat 15 kg of warrior-grade monster meat.]
Damn! Already a quest is here, and it would be very tough. His body condition was not good right now because he had suffered grave injuries in his body from overwork.
But he would have to complete the task because he would enter the realm of Gene Warrior.
He wanted to break through to Gene Warrior Level 1 with an extreme foundation that would help him become 16 times stronger than a person who had a low-level foundation.
It would be very crucial for his future in this world.
"Let's begin. First, I have to heal and buy monster meat. The rest can be done after that."
Alex went outside. His parents were both Gene Warriors. His father was Gene Warrior Level 9, and his mother was Gene Warrior Level 8.
They were in the same party, which was led by a Gene Master Level 3. It was a magnificent team in Fortress City 9.
So the allowance of Alex was not bad. He could easily afford the meat and treatment.
After going out from his room, he saw a sci-fi world out there. There were cars hovering in the air without any pilots. There were huge skyscrapers.
He even saw some soldiers with highly advanced weapon technology.
Though he had seen all this in his memories, seeing them now was truly another experience.
He waved his hand, and a hover car stopped in front of him as the door opened automatically.
He directly went to the hospital and got his treatment.
His injuries were severe—veins burst out, muscles torn up. He came there with great difficulty, but as soon as he arrived, his treatment started instantly.
Within one hour, all his injuries were healed. It was just a minor injury for the advanced medical system of this world.
They could now grow new organs, replace nervous systems, and perform more difficult procedures that were impossible on the Earth Alex came from.
"Good, now I am fully healed. Let's buy the monster meat and start the training," Alex thought in his mind.
He returned home. It was already afternoon.
So he went home and planned out his training.
For the next 24 hours, he tried to do the push-ups.
It was difficult for him at first as he could only do 30 push-ups at once.
But he didn't have time to slack off. He tried again.
When he reached 89, his body almost gave up.
"Let's eat some monster meat. Let's see if it has any special effect or not."
He instantly ate 1 kg of meat. It was so delicious that he felt he was eating the best meal of his life. And it was true.
After eating the meat, his body instantly gained stamina.
After that, he did 61 more push-ups. With that, his 150 push-ups were done.
Then he ate another kg of meat and went to a nearby park to run.
65 hours later.
[Ding! You have fully completed your quest. You will break through to Level 1 Gene Warrior with an extreme foundation in 7 hours.]
This task wasn't that difficult for him as he ate the monster meat. But he knew the system was giving him leeway since it was his first task. It would become more difficult as time passed.
7 hours passed after that.
[Ding! You have broken through to Level 1 Gene Warrior with an extreme foundation. You can now see your status panel.]
[Name: Alex Celestus
Cultivation: Level 1 Gene Warrior
Strength: 1.6 Tonnes
Talent: None
Bloodline: None
Physique: None]
He had 1.6 tonnes of strength right now.
Normally, a Level 1 Gene Warrior with a low-grade foundation had 100 kg of strength. Since he had an extreme-grade foundation, his strength was now 16 times higher.
Alex clenched his fist. He felt tremendously powerful right now.
[Ding! You have successfully broken through to Level 1 Gene Warrior. Your next quest is here:
Task 1: Learn the basic sword technique.
Task 2: Learn the basic energy technique.
Task 3: Read the history of the world properly.]
Alex sighed.
"It figures. Learning two techniques in 3 days seems impossible. Let's see what I can do. Maybe there are some treasures that can help me learn the techniques."
