章 7: The blood pact
When he had finished making his list, he realized that he had also finished eating, he got up and went to give the pencil back to the receptionist and then he immediately returned to his room.
It was time to take a closer look at this mysterious book which was undoubtedly related to magic.
Even in his home world the pentagram symbol was used to represent the magic.
He focused on Kevin's memory and discovered the methods he had tried to attempt to open this book.
Kevin really wasn't very resourceful, nor very smart, and he saw that he had even tried to burn the book out of desperation.
What surprised him though, was that this book had absolutely no visible damage marks. He looked at the seal and saw that it was not a lock that could be broken, so there had to be some other way to open it.
It was then that he thought back to the conversation he had had with Alan about Axel's sword. He had told him that Axel had made a blood pact with his sword in order for it to recognize him as its new master, and so he could use its powers.
He chose to try this method, it was worth a try anyway. So, he pulled out one dagger and cut one of his fingers to run a few drops of blood on the book.
Kevin eyes widened, it seemed to work, with each drop of blood that fell on the book, the pentagram became more and more golden and when the fifth drop of blood fell on it, the seal disappeared and the book swung open.
Kevin took it in his hands a little surprised because this book was totally blank, there was absolutely nothing written inside.
When he was about to put it down disappointed after this discovery, he saw a golden glow that quickly transformed into a beam and it split in two. One of the beams hit him in the middle of his forehead and the other one hit him on his left chest very close to his heart.
The golden beam that was aimed at his chest was burning his skin but he had already experienced much more excruciating pains than that, so he just clenched his teeth as he waited for the pain to subside.
As for the beam on his forehead, he felt nothing wrong with this one.
After five minutes, the two beams disappeared and the book ignited on its own, with purple flames burning it to dust.
Kevin had stood up hastily to walk away from these threatening purple flames and he was relieved to see that they disappeared along with the book.
Regardless of whether the book was missing or not, he could feel that the link between them had been successfully created, he was just wondering how he could activate this link.
He walked over to the bathroom mirror and removed his top so he could examine the burn he felt on his chest.
But he froze when he saw his face, he hadn't gotten used to that new face yet, kevin was the opposite of who he had been.
His old body had an ordinary face and went easily unnoticed, he was also of average height which made his life easier to be able to disappear quickly without ever being spotted.
But Kevin was the opposite of that, although his face had still childish traces, he could see that he was going to grow up to be a gorgeous young man, for now he could be called cute, but soon he would become handsome.
He had short black hair, green eyes that looked like emeralds and his facial features were all perfectly proportioned. His skin was white and smooth and his lips was red which gave a striking and seductive contrast.
He sighed helplessly, a face like that would surely get him more troubles than advantages, not to mention that he intended to turn Kevin's body into a real war machine, which would make him even more attractive.
He finally stopped staring at his face as there was no mark on his forehead and finally focused his attention on his chest.
A pentagram, that looked like a tattoo traced in purple ink, had appeared just above where his heart was. He touched it out of curiosity and a holographic screen materialized before his eyes.
After he recovered from this unexpected turn of event, he smirked, this screen looked more or less like the ones that were used in his home world to play virtual reality games, it suited him perfectly, after all it had been his favorite pastime when he had had free time in his past life.
His stats were right in front of his eyes and just seeing them flaunt like that, even if he suspected it a little, it almost made him want to cry.

That was all for his poor Stats. After checking that holographic screen he found more menus, Skills, Quests, Inventory and Store.
He decided to check the Skills one, he wondered if the affinity he had with the elements will be there too.
He tried first to touch it with his finger but his hand passed through the holographic screen, so if it was not a tactil screen then it had to be connected with his mind.
He thought about opening the Skills menu and the screen instantly changed to the one representing his Skills, he was so amazed by what he saw that it made him completely speechless.

章 8: Daily Quests
The warrior spirit innate skill, as the perception and observation skills were definitely his own skills.
Otherwise for the rest it had to be specific to Kevin's body, as for the affinity with the elements, it corresponded to what Alan had already explained to him.
He didn't know what represented all those numbers yet, but he would find out sooner or later.
He then moved on to the next menu which was the Quests, and just by thinking about it made him felt so excited, quests always meant that there were rewards, didn't it ?
[ DAILY QUESTS ]
Strengthen your body :
- 1h of workout = 1 Strength point (max 2 points per day)
- 1h stretching = 1 Agility point (max 2 points per day)
- 5 km running = 1 Stamina point (max 2 points per day)
- If the three requirements are met = 20 exp points (max 40 points per day)
Strengthen your Soul force :
- 1h of meditation = 1 Soul force point (max 5 points per day)
- If 5 hours of meditation = 20 exp points
[ MONTHLY QUEST ]
Reach level 10 before the end of this month and you will receive extra rewards.
His smile widened when he saw that his Daily Quests were exactly the goals he set for himself.
He still didn't know what meditation was but he would surely find the answer in his books given by the Sect, or at worst, he could always go find Alan and ask him tomorrow morning.
He didn't want to waste a single day, after all, 5 Soul force points and 20 exp points was enough to give him all the motivation he needed for.
This second life was full of surprises and he decided to check the other two menus, but as he expected, the inventory was empty and the store whether to sell or buy was closed until he reaches level 10.
The Monthly Quest had to be there to motivate him to open the store, that couldn't be just a coincidence.
He tested if he could open and close the holographic screen at will and luckily for him, just a thought was enough to activate it, he didn't need to touch anymore that mark on his chest or it would have been very annoying.
He left the bathroom and decided to go run the 5km. It was already dark, but according to his room clock it was only 11pm. So he had plenty of time to complete this task and fulfill the 3 requirements to get his first 20 exp points.
In his magic bag, between his clothes and those of the man he had killed, he found comfortable dark clothes for running, including a hooded sweater that would allow him to blend in with the night.
He also found sneakers that would be perfect to train, and as soon as he had changed, he set off for a run through the mazes of the city streets.
The city at this hour was deserted, and after running the 5 km leisurely so as not to exhaust himself unnecessarily, a sound echoed in his mind and he saw the holographic screen pop up in front of his eyes.
[ Congratulations, you have just completed the Daily Quest : Strengthen your body, the rewards have been sent. ]
He immediately decided to check his Stats menu, and the screen changed again.

He was more than satisfied, he wanted to climb walls and run on rooftops but this body still did not allow him to be able to do this kind of activity.
Then, curiosity took hold of him again and he returned to the inn to try and find out what meditation could be like.
An hour after he had returned to his room, he had looked through all of his books, but he hadn't found an explanation of how to practice meditation.
He didn't understand why though, all of his books spoke of meditation as something essential for a mage, but no further explanation was provided.
It was 00:30 am, it was time to sleep because he wanted to get up at 5 am to start his training, then he would try to find Alan to ask him how to practice meditation.
He didn't want to lose those 5 Soul force points and 20 exp points, he wanted to get strong as quickly as possible.
He had checked over his schedule as uncle Douglas had suggested and his classes wouln't start until 8.30 am and it end at 11:30 am. Every afternoon was free and they encouraged them to practice by themselves.
Monday, Wednesday and Friday were reserved for alchemy lessons and Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday for spell lessons, Sunday was their day off.
This schedule was ideal for him, like that he could continue to complete his Daily Quests, and thus increase all his Stats.
He couldn't wait to find out what would happen when he would level up to level 2.
He fell asleep with a smile on his face, thinking he couldn't have been more lucky.
...…
The goddess Cassandra was really proud to have found the soul of a human who possessed the warrior spirit.
She had transmigrated his soul into the body of this mage who was destined to become one of the most powerful mages that this world have known, and she was sure that the combination of the warrior spirit with the potential of this mage's body would work wonders.
That was exactly what she needed to win the war against the demons and thus become the sole owner of this world.
She knew that the goddess Lilith who was her opponent to win this world, had also found her warrior to win this war.
She was going to have to keep an eye on her human and protect him if necessary because the road to victory was still long and strewn with pitfalls.
...…..
Kevin woke up at 5am as he had planned and did his 1 hour of workout and 1 hour of stretching.
After taking a shower and getting dressed he saw that it was only 7.15am, but he was too impatient to wait any longer and he decided therefore to go to the main square and wait for Alan to arrive.
If it had been his body from his home world he could have done the 10km running directly after his 2 hours of training, but right now, he preferred not to push the limits of this body too far.
When he walked out of the inn he pulled his hood over his head and mingled with the crowd. When he had almost gotten to where the Sun Sect recruitment was, he heard someone calling him.
