Chapter 20 Update
Quickly, I take some torches from my inventory and fix them to the walls of the cave. Their flames dance, spreading a soft light throughout the environment, revealing the vastness of the place where we find ourselves. We are approximately 3 kilometers below the Earth's surface, in an immense cave of astonishing proportions.
I look around and am impressed by the grandeur of the place. The cave walls are formed by irregular rocks, with dark tones and rough textures. The air is humid and cool, impregnated with an earthy smell characteristic of the depths of the Earth. The silence is almost palpable, interrupted only by the echo of my footsteps and the crackling of the torch flames.
As I observe the vastness before me, I am interrupted by the sound of the system notifying me of the mission failure. The warning keeps repeating, but I decide to ignore it for now. My attention is focused on the mermaid lying on the ground, completely shattered from the fall.
I approach her and crouch down, gently caressing her injured face. I feel a mixture of compassion and disappointment. Despite our conflicts and the danger she represented, I cannot help but admire her beauty and strength.
Suddenly, a characteristic glow emanates from an item on the mermaid's body. I take a deep breath, releasing my disappointment at having lost this beautiful woman due to the fall, and I focus on the item.
[System Upgrade Package!]
[Do you want to upgrade?]
Without much thought, I accept the system upgrade. Everything happens very quickly, almost instantaneously, a command screen appears in the air, displaying some things that are being installed and extracted, all with letters and numbers that I can't read.
-[Upgrade Completed!]-
I quickly open my status to see what has changed. "Status!"
[----[Status]----]
[Health points] = (110/110)
Life points, also called health points, hit points, damage points, life points, or just health (among others) are a parameter used in tabletop RPGs and electronic games to determine how resistant a character is (indicating how much damage it can take), when it reaches 0 you will die permanently.
[Level] = [1] - (000/100)
As a character ventures through the world and overcomes challenges, he gains experience, represented by experience points. A character who reaches a certain number of experience points can level up by gaining stat points.
[Title] = (The Rapist of the Magical World)
[Name] = [Atreus Raven Darkin]
[Age] = [15]
[Gender] = [Male]
[----[Attributes]----]
[Strength] = 2 [Vitality] = 2
[Agility] = 1 [Intelligence] = 1
[-----[Abilities]----]
[???]
[----[Inventory]----]
[Wood Block] (x569) - [Stone Block] (x963)
[Wooden Torch] (x69) - [Charcoal] (x36)
[Iron Pickaxe] (x3) - [Stone Sword] (x9)
[Watermelon] (x53) - [Iron Bars] (x23)
[Upgrade Gift] (x1).....(Among other things)
Not much has changed, but I received a gift, and that's what matters. I raise my arm and press the gift logo with the tip of my index finger, and then the system screen vibrates and changes, bringing new information.
[Available Classes for the User!]
1 - [Supreme Scientist!]
The Supreme Scientist is a highly intellectual and versatile class, capable of manipulating the laws of science to control the flow of battle. With abilities based on advanced scientific knowledge, the Supreme Scientist specializes in complex strategies and elaborate tactics, using their advanced creations to dominate and conquer.
2 - [Eternal Mage!]
The Eternal Mage is a master of arcane secrets and commands the mystical forces of the universe. This class combines ancient knowledge with magical abilities to shape the reality around them. Using a variety of spells and enchantments, the Eternal Mage is capable of causing devastation or protecting their allies with powerful magic.
3 - [Legendary Swordsman!]
The Legendary Swordsman is a skilled warrior who masters the art of the sword. With graceful and precise movements, they can defeat multiple enemies in close combat in the blink of an eye. The Legendary Swordsman is known for their dexterity, speed, sharp reflexes, and impressive strength.
As I looked at the available options before me, the first thing that caught my attention was the Legendary Swordsman class. The image of a skilled warrior wielding a gleaming sword definitely sparked my initial interest. However, as I delved deeper into the descriptions of the other two classes, doubt began to arise.
The Eternal Mage seemed incredibly fascinating. Their ability to manipulate elements and cast powerful spells was truly tempting. I imagined epic scenes where I conjured blazing meteor balls or controlled furious winds with a simple gesture of my hand. The mystical aura surrounding the Eternal Mage certainly fueled my imagination.
However, as I read the description of the Supreme Scientist, my curiosity and excitement grew exponentially. The idea of being a master of technology and advanced science was simply irresistible. I envisioned myself traversing realities with a portal gun, equipped with incredible technological devices. The ability to manipulate energy and control the forces of the universe seemed incredibly powerful and thrilling.
I was torn between these two classes for a moment, weighing the possibilities and different experiences that each one would offer. In the end, I made my decision.
-[Supreme Scientist]-
As soon as I chose this class, my head began to heat up, and everything around me froze for a few seconds. The silence was only broken by the sound of the system notification.
"Your intelligence has increased by +1!"
"Your intelligence has increased by +1!"
"Your intelligence has increased by +1!"
"Your intelligence has increased by +1!"
"Your intelligence has increased by +1!"
All my previously forgotten memories emerged like an ocean, causing a bit of blood to trickle from my nose, as the pressure in my mind is immense. Every calculation, theory, and scientific study I once pursued surfaced in my mind, like a black hole devouring everything around it. My new brain begins to calculate possibilities and, in less than a second, solves the most complex calculations from my college in my previous world.
i??ψ/?t = -?2/2m ?2ψ + Vψ
This equation describes how the wave function of a quantum particle evolves over time, taking into account its potential energy and the properties of the particle, such as its mass.
My two eyes start emitting light just like the mermaid who could see in the dark, the whole environment trembles, and finally, the transformation comes to an end.
I stand up from the ground and raise my hands, positioning them in front of my eyes. I feel accelerated, as if I had drunk a bucket of energy drink, and my mind doesn't stop racing.
I feel my brain being activated, as if 90% of it was previously turned off and is now connected to a nuclear reactor of energy. Everything is as clear as the light that the sun produces during its peak particle fusion.
A smile appears on my face, and countless ideas flood my mind. What if I create an army of metal men that can be controlled remotely?
What if these androids had consciousness and could conquer and dominate this world for me?
Are there other universes?
You received a title [The smartest human ever!]
An intellect superior comparable to that of a god, yet contained within the mind of an ordinary human. The bearer of this title is destined to cause numerous changes wherever they go, which can have both negative and positive consequences, depending solely on the bearer.
