Instantly as soon as the notification rang out and the blue holographic system screen panels appeared, Alan felt a rush go throughout his entire body, instantly rejuvenating him as his eyes practically flew open at that very instant, his body that had finally given up on the last hit grew stiff for a moment before relaxing once more.
The fog that had been covering his mind seemed to vanish as if it had never been there in the first place and the physical exhaustion similarly disappeared in an instant.
*Huff*
"Finally, fuckin' hell that took a while. I almost felt like I was going to keel and die right here." Alan muttered as he released a soft sigh and slowly got back up onto his feet.
'Status' He thought as he pulled up the status menu.

'Seem's like I gained ten points in endurance and then five more points in strength from that… that's good. Oh right, and three points in intellgence. That… thats much faster than what I've been gaining until now. Much much faster actually, so training whilst under a debuff actually helped… could I?' Alan thought for a brief moment before he instantly shook his head in disbelief at his own thoughts for a moment.
"Yeah fuck that, hell no. I am not smoking that shit ever again, infact fuck smoking completely and fuck drugs too." Alan said to himself before turning his attention towards the status menu once more and then instantly dumping all of his points into Strength.
[ Strength: 45/150 ]
As soon as it happened, he felt it, it was as if he was able to move more easily, the weight of his own body feeling suddenly lighter than before.
'That was actually a bigger increase than I thought it would be.' Alan thought before he opened up another system menu.
'System Shop.'
Instantly, the system shop holographic panel appeared floating before him.
[ System Shop ]
[ Equipment ]
[ Items ]
[ Potions ]
'Equipment.' Alan thought as he instantly ignored the other two categories and opened the one he was most excited about.
[ System Shop ]
[ Equipment ]
[ Basic Wooden Baseball Bat ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ] [ Buy ]
[ Basic Leather Helmet ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ] [ Buy ]

[ Basic Leather Leggings ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ] [ Buy ]
[ Basic Leather Boots ] [ Level 1 ] [ 5 Bronze Coins ] [ Buy ]
'I don't really have any need for any of the armor at the moment considering that I'm not actually fighting anything, merely beating up Straw Dummies, so the only viable choice is the weapon, considering I'd be able to use that to defeat these things faster and thus leading to a higher coin and exp gain for a shorter amount of time.' Alan thought as he lifted his hand and pressed on the buy button with his index finger.
[ Buy Basic Wooden Baseball Bat ] [ Confirm ] [ Decline ]
'Huh, that's actually pretty thoughtful, wouldn't want to buy something else accidentally' Alan thought as he moved his finger and pressed confirm.
[ Ding! ]
[ Basic Wooden Baseball Bat has been bought. ]
[ Ding! ]
[ User has unlocked further System Capabilities. ]
[ System Inventory has been unlocked. ]
'Inventory?' Alan thought instantly as his eyes widened and he quickly summoned up the new system holographic panel.
[ System Inventory ]
[ 1X ] [ Basic Wooden Baseball Bat ] [ Equip ]
[ 998X ] [ Empty ]
Looking at the menu infront of him for a moment, his mind whirling into action as he tried to think of all the ways that he could make use of it before his gaze went downawrds towards the ground where the bread knife had landed when he had fallen down from exhaustion.
Crouching down and taking it into his hand, he lifted the bread knife and pushed it towards the inventory holographic panel, for a moment nothing happened and then almost instantly a split second after, the bread knife started disintegrating into small blute motes of light that were being absorbed by the holographic panel infront of him.
In less than three seconds, the knife was fully gone and so were the blue particles of light.
[ Ding! ]
[ Rusted Bread Knife has been stored. ]
[ System Inventory ]
[ 1X ] [ Rusted Bread Knife ] [ Equip ]
[ 1X ] [ Basic Baseball Bat ] [ Equip ]
Nodding to himself, a small smile appeared on Alan's face as he finally couldn't wait enough and lifted his hand as he clicked on the Equip button.
A moment later, motes of blue light gathered from the system panel and into his hand and quickly converged and combined with themselves and formed the shape of a bat.
A split second later, the wooden bat was in his hand.
Lifting it up to his face and looking at it closely, it looked exactly the same as what the description had promised, it was a wooden baseball bat, simple as that, there was nothing special about it, no colours, no advertisement brands on it, nothing. Just a wooden baseball bat.
'Observe' Alan thought as he looked at the bat.
[ Observe Skill has been used. ]
[ Basic Wooden Baseball Bat ]
[ Age: 1 Minute, 12 seconds. ]
[ +4 ATK ]
[ Description: A basic wooden baseball bat, it was created by the system for the User. ]
'It was created? How? Does it just use magic juju? How can you create something from nothing? What is the system using to create these things and to give me powers?' Alan thought in slight shock but at the same time he understood one thing.
'Dont try to logic with the supernatural, just say thank you.'
