Chapter 22 - New Stats

When the glow on Blitz's stomach faded, along with the golden lines, the system appeared with a notification.

[Ding!]

A blue window materialized before his eyes.

[Congratulations, you have consumed a legendary tier fruit: Golden Apple]

[+20 free stats gained]

[You can only allocate it to one stat only. Please select.]

Hmmm…now comes the hard part.

Which stat should I improve?

Basically, in most manga and novels, the MC chooses agility, so maybe I should choose agility too. And I am a rabbit, so it makes sense.

Okay. Agility it is.

Blitz chose agility.

But then -

[Ding!]

[System Error]

[Trying]

[Error]

[Retry]

[Error]

Blitz stared blankly as the notifications filled his vision, confused about why the system kept erroring out.

[Retrying]

[Error]

This continued in a loop until his entire field of view was just retrying and error messages.

Then -

[Ding!]

[The skill All for One (Dark) has affected the stat allocation]

[All of your stats have been increased by +20]

[New stat:

Strength: 21 (+20)

Agility: 21 (+20)

Magic: 21 (+20)

Defence: 21 (+20)

Perception: 21 (+20)]

Immediately, Blitz could feel the difference. Energy surged through him, light yet powerful. For the first time, he felt like he could actually defeat weaker monsters.

But he didn't understand why all his stats went up when only the agility should have. And he had no idea what that All for One Dark skill was supposed to be - whether he should thank or worry about it.

Still, it worked to his advantage. Every stat over 20. Blitz was overjoyed.

Ok… let's test these new stats.

Blitz got ready, planning to make a run for the couch.

He crouched, eyes locked on the couch.

He kicked off the bed.

POOF

Before he even registered the movement, Blitz smashed straight into the couch cushions like a launched bullet.

Good thing he chose the couch; with that kind of speed, he couldn't brake at all.

"Blitz, are you okay?" Rivera asked, concerned, when she saw him tumble onto the cushions.

Squeak.

Blitz squeaked to reassure her he was fine.

Rivera let out a relieved breath, hearing his energetic squeak.

All right, my speed's incredible. Gotta get used to it, Blitz thought.

Okay, now let me test strength.

He hopped off the couch onto the floor and then kicked downward with his hind leg.

Crack.

A visible crack split across the floor. Not huge - but definitely real.

Oh… shoot. He stared at the damage.

I cracked Rivera's floor. Will she be mad?

Blitz looked up at her cautiously - but instead of anger, Rivera's face lit up with pure excitement. "Wow… Blitz, you're much stronger now!" she exclaimed, clapping in happiness as she looked at the cracked floor and remembered his speed.

Blitz puffed out his chest, standing tall and proud; confidence bloomed. He felt in that moment that he could do anything, even take down a primordial dragon or gods.
