After a half hour's drive, they arrived in a neighborhood that was noticeably better than Erik's.
While not exactly the safest or the most pleasant, they were now in considerably more pleasant surroundings.
Erik pulled up in front of a modern building, while Violet went to park the motorcycle in the building's garage.
"Wow, I didn't imagine Violet lived in a place like this."
Just by glancing around, he realized that this neighborhood was among the most distinguished.
One only had to look at the tall buildings and notice the large number of dogs present, all of recognizable breeds such as Barbet, Border Collie, Labrador Retriever, and Golden Retriever.
Erik was truly amazed. He had never been in a place like this before.
'This is real I'm not dreaming'.
He thought he was seeing wrong, rubbed his eyes a bit, and checked that it was still the same landscape, with the same dogs and buildings.
'I can't believe I'm going to live in a nice neighborhood like this...looks like I have the system to thank for this.'
"Let's go in!"
Violet said, appearing at his side, startling him.
"Uh? Yes? let's go!"
Erik replied excitedly looking at the different buildings.
They entered the building and went directly to one of the upper floors.
"I welcome you to my modest home."
Violet with a smile, opened the door to the apartment showing the inside of the place.
The place was a thousand times better than where Erik lived. There was elegant furniture, a flat-screen TV on the wall, a huge window overlooking downtown, and a beautiful dining room for four.
Incluso había un gato blanco descansando sobre uno de los muebles.
'Could this be paradise?'
Erik is astonished as he gazes at the luxurious apartment. He couldn't believe she lived in a place like this.
"Make yourself comfortable, this is your room."
Violet, pointed to a door off to the side of the hallway.
Erik walked through the luxurious apartment until he reached the door Violet had pointed out to him with great anticipation, eager to discover what his new space would be like.
He opened the door slowly, revealing the interior.
The room had a double bed, a desk, air conditioning, and much more than he had dared to imagine in his wildest dreams.
"...."
He gaped, speechless, while inwardly dedicating a sort of thanks to the system.
'Oh, great system thank you for choosing me, so that I can enjoy these luxuries of life that I couldn't even dream of before.'
If it wasn't for the system, I would be in dire straits or most likely dead.
Besides, if it hadn't been for the system I wouldn't have been able to register as a hunter, I wouldn't even have met Violet.
Nor would he have the opportunity to live in a good neighborhood or enjoy a room as luxurious as the one he had in front of his eyes. Everything, absolutely everything, he owed to the system.
"Fufufu~, do you like the room?"
Violet asked laughing softly as she looked at Erik's expression.
"Can I stay in this room?"
Erik asked a little hesitantly, not believing that he was going to stay in a room like this.
"Sure, if you weren't, I wouldn't have suggested you move in with me."
Violet replied with a smile in complete honesty.
"Come in and drop your stuff off while I take a bath so we can talk, what are we going to do about dealing with the president of the Luminis guild?"
Violet walked away after saying that.
he entered the room and scanned his surroundings with an excited expression on his face.
'I really can't believe I'm going to live in a room like this.'
He placed his few belongings beside the bed and lay down on it, feeling his body sink into the soft mattress, giving him the feeling as if she was in paradise.
"Ah~ I've never rested on something as comfortable as this. I made a good decision in accepting this..." Murmured, with a satisfied expression and a soft smile, reveling in the softness of the mattress and the comfort of the bed.
Understandably, Erik would act so childishly. For as long as he can remember, he hasn't experienced anything like it.
He has spent his whole life trying to survive in a world where you never know when a monster might walk through the door and devour you.
So it's only natural that he's so surprised to be in a place a thousand times better than the one he knew before, don't you think?
'Well, now let's look at the rewards.'
Being very relaxed Erik opened the notification windows again.
Tti-ring.
[You have completed the 'Daily Mission'!]
[The rewards for completing the daily mission have arrived!]
[Would you like to confirm] (Y/N).
Without thinking too much, I press 'Confirm'.
Tti-ring.
[You receive the following rewards]
- Ten Fenrir points
- Random skill
- Basic knowledge of fencing.
Tti-ring.
[You have received the skill: Sense sharpened].
[Beginning of implementation of 'Fencing Knowledge'.... 1%... 2%... 4%...]
"Okay, here we go again..."
Erik closed his eyes, bracing himself for the pain he was going to suffer when he started implementing the sword knowledge in his head.
However, unlike what he expected, he did not feel the sharp pain of the first time, but rather slight twinges in his brain as the knowledge etched itself into his mind.
Tti-ring.
[Implementation completed!]
"Phew... good thing that wasn't as painful as I expected."
He was very pleased to note that this time he did not have to endure the severe headache he experienced when he was implanted with the knowledge of how to wield the spear.
Although he didn't know if it was because it was less intense this time, he had no way of finding out.
'Well, let's not think about that now. We'd better take a look at the description of this new skill and my stats.'
Deciding not to give the matter any more thought, since his head wasn't hurting that much, Erik proceeded to look at his status window.
"Status window."

"This is quite a useful skill."
Erik was pleased with the new skill he had acquired. It was excellent, he would even say perfect, considering his senses were already fine, but now they were much better than before.
'Well, now let's improve the stats'.
After looking at the description of the new skill, he decided to improve his stats.
'Hmm, well let's uniformly improve these...'
He decided to uniformly improve his stats. And he will only use twenty Fenrir points in the stats because he plans to improve other things.
He clicked on the '+' next to each statistic until there were only twenty Fenrir points left.
[He used twenty Fenrir points in stats, Strength, Endurance, Dexterity, Vitality, and End Energy].
[Statistics]

"Phew... I feel the improvement in my body."
Erik sighed as his body grew stronger after improving all his stats by ten.
'I finished improving the stats, now I will improve one skill, but what skill did I improve?'
After having improved his stats, he doesn't know what skill to improve. Although he doesn't have many skills to improve either.
'Well, let's improve, hmm.... I'll improve wild regeneration. It's the one I can use the most at the moment.'
Erik decided to improve the skill 'Wild regeneration' using ten Fenrir points in it.
[You have used ten Fenrir points in the skill 'Wild Regeneration'].

"Oh, now the rank of the skill appears, In addition, the speed of regeneration increases by 10%."
Erik is very satisfied with the skill improvement. It seems that he didn't make a mistake in upgrading that skill.
'Well, now I only have ten Ferir points left.'
He closes all the windows in front of him and decides not to spend his last Fenrir points because he doesn't know if they will be useful in the future.
'Now that I'll improve what I had to improve, let's take a look at the Fenrir store, which is now available.'
'I hope it has skills that are not system-related and are quite impressive.'
With great anticipation, Erik looked at his status window and went straight to the bottom section, where the 'Fenrir Shop' option was located.

Note about the Store: These items and skills are imbued with the power of 'Fin' and these are the ones currently available; more items will be added in the future.
"Wow, this store is very well organized!"
Erik exclaimed as he observed how everything was thoroughly explained. However, he noticed that none of the items were priced. Another thing that caught his attention was that.
'All the items are related to the name of the system'
Erik expected something out of the ordinary, like in the novels he had read about systems.
However, here everything was tied to the name 'Fenrir'. There was nothing out of the system, like an extraordinary ability or something similar.
Despite this, he was not disappointed. Everything this store offered was of very good quality and, from what he had read, they were ultimately imbued with the Power of 'The End', which meant that only he could make use of them.
"Well, let's see how much this item is worth."
Erik picked a few of the items to see how much each one cost and see if he could buy them.
[Fenrir Skin]
Cost: 50 Fenrir points.
A coat made from the skin of the beast of the end Fenrir, which provides resistance to extreme cold and increases resistance to magical powers and runes.
"Phew... Well, now I don't have enough points to compare this."
With a sigh Erik, closed the store window, as he knew he didn't have to buy this cloak for the moment, as he only had ten Fenrir points.
"Well, let's go take a shower."
He got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wipe off the sweat and monster blood.
