Do you ever wonder how you get into such stupid situations? I know I sure do.With my luck being a wonderful 125 from my wonderful {Friend of G.o.d} t.i.tle, you"d think that thing"s would go my once or twice. But no, it seems as if my luck means nothing.
And you may be asking yourself "Why is he saying all this? Didn"t the skill {Lucky Break} just activate?", and you"d be right, it did activate.
But once again, it meant nothing.
Right now, as I"m thinking about this and breaking a supposed fourth wall that may or may not actually exist because I think my life may or may not be viewed by some higher beings like the one G.o.d I know thanks to the way I think of life and the universe, I"m currently being impaled on a sword. Though I must say, it hurts a lot. I rate it a 2 out of 10, would not do it again.
Tapping the sword with my finger as adrenaline flooded through my system and pain resistance leveled the h.e.l.l up, I just looked in both wonder and amazement at my current predicament.
"Huh, well that"ll leave a mark." I said out loud.
"You know, color me impressed" Marth said. "Most people would"ve died instantly and those who didn"t would probably be screaming out in pain as they died."
"Well I blame all the adrenaline and me being able to easily adapt to this situation or something.
I took a look at my health bar as it constantly decreased and increased at the same time. Decreasing because of the obvious sword running through me. Increasing because Vondal was casting some healing magic on me.
What a nice guy.
At this point it"s been a couple of seconds since I"ve been impaled and Vondal and the others have just now revealed themselves to Marth as if they were some superhero team coming to the rescue of the damsel in distress.
Grel, Gunther, Vondal, and flint all did a nice slow bad a.s.s walk to me as they got themselves into a battle-ready stance.

"Hey, could you guys hurry up and stop with the bad a.s.s slow motion stuff? My adrenaline is staring to fade away and I"d rather not still be on a sword when that finally happens."
The others turned to me and gave a quick apology before getting back into their battle stances. Marth smirked as he tilted his sword down and let me slide off of it with a gross sound or two.
Once I was fully off the edge of the blade, I made a gross splat noise on the ground and gave a quick "Ow" before getting up, brushing myself off, complain about the state of my clothing, and then finally realizing that Vondal has stopped supplying me with healing magic and I was at a incredibly dangerously low number. 24Hp to be exact.
Using up all my mana, I did a quick heal that left me at 0Mp and 242Hp. Healing wasn"t a 1 to 1 scale sadly, so I wasn"t able to heal all the way up.
Using this opportunity now that I had some health and a decent opening now that Marth was fighting 4 people by himself, I pulled a few more throwing daggers out of my inventory and sent them in Marth"s direction.
He seemed to notice them instantly as he grabbed Gunther by his armor and held him up in front of them. One of them went slightly into his neck as the others just harmlessly bounced off his armor.
"Leo, what are you doing? Run! You have no chance against him!" One of them yelled.
I was thinking about complaining but we know how the cliché usually goes. Hero tells person to run. Person complains before the hero interrupts them once again and says to run away as the person grit"s their teeth, close their eyes, start crying, and then finally turn around in a blind run.
Luckily, I caught myself in time as I just ran off without a word. Only a silent thank you that they might never hear in person.
Running through the endless halls of the dwarven kingdom, I continued to see numerous fights and battles that affected the kingdom around them. Large holes were in the walls, numerous scorch marks were on the ceiling, and multiple dead people littered that halls.
Eventually I was able to find my way out through either dumb luck or just brute forcing my way through the kingdom using my mini-map and only going to places that I haven"t explored yet. Definitely not saying which.
As I ran outside and got my first breath of fresh air in quite a long time, I had to quickly cover my eyes as the bright sun nearly blinded me after so many days underground. As I slowly regained my vision, I heard a small ding from the system.
Once I was able to see properly, I checked what the notification from the system was.
[As you"ve a.s.sisted in killing future Dwarf Hero Gunther, and dealing {> 1%} of Gunther"s max health, you"ve gained 1% of the XP from the kill!]
[You"ve leveled up!]
[You"ve Leveled up!]
[You"re now level {10}]
[As you"ve reached level 10, you are now applicable to have the system update!]
[Would you like to proceed? Y/N ]
I stopped and stared in horror at the first notification. Gunther was dead. The others probably were too. And apparently even with Gunther being a bullet shield for my knives, I still did less then 1% of his max health.
I was so horribly f.u.c.king weak. How was I even supposed to survive in this world if I couldn"t do anything.
"System, will the update help me become stronger?"
[Calculating… Calculation show that it will both make you stronger and weaker. Would you like to proceed?]
"But which one will it do more of?!"
[Calculating… Calculation invalid. You must decide for yourself after update.]
I slightly growled in annoyance as I hit the yes b.u.t.ton.
[Update confirmed! Connecting you to System Administrator {G.o.dRulez}]
Time seemed to all of a sudden stop as everything gained a slight grey hue. Then, without warning, a giant bright beam of light surrounded me as I felt my soul leaving my body. Suddenly, I was in the void once again with the old man/G.o.d who was stroking his beard which was a literal hazard because of how long it was.
"Ah, welcome back Leo. Nice to be able to talk to you face to soul again." He said before quickly taping me and giving me a normal appearance. "There we go, much better."
Two chairs suddenly appeared behind us as he sat down and indicated for me to sit down as well. Not really able to refuse a command from G.o.d, I complied like I apparently did with everything since I was brought over to the new world.
"Tea?" He asked as a cup of tea appeared in hand.
I said nothing for literally one second before his face turned into a frown.
"No? How about vodka? Soda? A Martini? Souls of the innocent? A bagel?"
"A bagel?" I interrupted him in confusion.
"No, two bagels!"
There was another moment of silence.
"I think I"ll take that cup of tea offered earlier."
As soon as I finished saying that, I already had the cup of tea in hand. I took a sip and noticed that it was actually pretty good.
"So, what am I here for G.o.d? I a.s.sumed that I was going to just get a regular update and then be done."
He took a sip of his own drink before giving me a frown.
(Author"s Note- Big info dump of stuff down below.)
"That would be the case if I didn"t make a giant problem with your system and everything else." I attempted to say something, but he put up his hand to stop me. "Let me finish. When you first made your 4 wishes, you asked for a good system that wasn"t b.i.t.c.hy and gave life or death missions, adaptability, infinite growth, and being able to never gain fat and always be in peak condition. So, I saw a great opportunity to give you an already premade system. The Gamer system as some people would like to call it. However, because of copy right infringement and wanting to make your story a non-fan-fiction story on web novel, I had to make a system that was very VERY similar to it while also not. In doing so, I gave it the power to complete what you wanted but made almost everything else weaker. For example, even though you"re level 10, it"s more like you just reached level 1 and even then, your stats would be under the usual average of 100s in everything except luck. So, I"m fixing up your system as we speak, and making it more reliable and actually making it so that you"d be useful. Now you"ll actually be able to kill things besides weak animals, some regular civilians who were bandits for like a day and a half, and finally a magical baby rabbit or something that just learned how to literally do think." He finished off his drink.
"Well that should be all. You"re now caught up with what happened, and now I"ve finished fixing your system. I"ve changed some of the skills and other stats so you should probably take a look at that when you have time. Anyways, see you Leo! Make sure to continue have fun because when you have fun, you offer me some great entertainment!"
And suddenly I was back outside with the sun shining in my eyes.
[Congratulations, system has successfully updated into system version 1.1!]
