Chapter 3 Interface?
-Fein POV-
I saw a green dot shining in front of me and tried to touch it, but my hands just slipped past it.
I tried everything to get it to work, including...
'Login!
' 'On' Login!
'System, get out!' 'Activate,' but no response was received.
I'm so frustrated because the novels I've been reading are all scams.
Then a light bulb goes off in my head. There was one more idea that I hadn't tried yet. All of these are successful attempts in Gamer novels.
"Interface!" I exclaimed, my face flushed with excitement.
Then, in place of the previous green dot, there was a bright light that twinkled while making a ringing sound in my head.
I can't stop myself from getting excited because what I see in my eyes are those interfaces that you'll see in games, even if it only displays my stats.

Name: Fein Bonifacio

Talent: Lvl 1 [F] (0/100 EXP)
Degu Amount: 1 [F] (12/100 EXP)
Total EXP:
Str: 1 (F)
Agi: 1 (F)
End: 1 (F)
'Hmmm, there was something like exp in the talent and degu amount, so what would happen if I added exp to it?' 'And where does one get Exp?' I pondered.
'Because my power's nature is similar to that of those games, it is only logical to assume that they will function similarly.' 'So, if I fill those with exp, does that mean I can increase my Degu amount and upgrade my talent?'
' I exclaimed, ecstatically.
'Doesn't that mean that in order to get stronger, I'd have to kill monsters or even people to gain experience?'
'I reasoned to myself.
I was summarizing my power's potential. First, because the talent did not specify which talent would be enhanced, I assumed it was universal talent. It means that it can improve my talent in a variety of areas, such as cooking, fighting, or anything else that is considered a talent.
I can improve my Degu talent, so I expect it to help me sense it more smoothly, strengthen my control, and even indirectly increase my Degu amount as I get older.
'Hmmm... 1st level? F? So I assumed the order was F, E, D, C, B, and A? and LVL 1 corresponds to F, whereas LVL 2 means it will be equivalent to E? '
'I reasoned to myself.
I realized that my basic stats, such as strength and agility, don't have any exp to fill, which means I can't level them up.

That was unfortunate, but Captain Gregory mentioned to me once during our training that as the Degu Amount increases, it will reach a qualitative change that affects our power, and it will strengthen our abilities while adding more functions to it.
'To be honest, I am grateful to our captain, who patiently taught me during our training. He was an excellent teacher. 'I thought to myself.
He taught me everything I needed to know, so now I know how to fight, the basics of the Degu Society, how to investigate, and other skills that Ranger's Eye members should have.
Now that I am an Official Degu User, I clenched my fist, the feeling of power and finally having the chance to grow stronger makes my blood boil.
Now it's time to go home; the training area is underground at the base, which surprised me at the time. This location will be unforgettable to me because it is where I began.
This place is really beautiful. It has a lot of humongous trees in it, lakes with different types of fish, and it appears that this place was made using the kingdom's resources with the cooperation of three A and B class Degu Users whose abilities focus on utility.
...
While walking to the office, I was thinking about how I would take advantage of my ability and abuse it to the fullest.
First, I intend to investigate where monsters gather in this world or to hunt weak thugs in order to gain experience and improve my skill.
Why did I decide to focus on upgrading my talent? Because as my talent grows, so does my talent in Degu, and if my talent reaches level 5, it is equivalent to a B rank.
That means if I consistently train or fight, I could potentially increase my Degu amount up to B rank. Also, if you have a B rank Degu talent, you can only remain a B rank for the rest of your life. Talent determines how far you can go and how quickly you can get there.
Now that I can improve my abilities in everything, I want to learn all kinds of professions and master them all to the best of my ability.
I don't have a mysterious ability like breathing fire, but I can supplement it by training in martial arts and other combat techniques.

-Gregory POV-
Only a constant creaking noise and the tweeting of birds can be heard in a ghost-quiet office.
A man sat at a desk in an upright position, wearing a blue suit and smoking a cigar.
"How is the investigation progressing?" I inquired.
In front of my desk is one of our members, Michael Diaz, who is an excellent scout and has always been dependable. He is also known as the "Shadow Master" because of his ability to blend into the shadows. His abilities are ideal for scouting and espionage.
He was 6'1", with sharp brows and black hair, and a sunny disposition; he was your typical lady killer type.
"Captain, this case is as close as it gets, that man is really as slippery and elusive as always," Michael joked.
"Indeed, now we have no choice but to accept his proposal," I shrugged as I stood up to face the window, the breeze of fresh air touching my face.
After debating with his inner self for a while, Michael said with an uncertain face.
"But captain, that's too risky; he might die if he acts as bait; I don't think this is a good idea; after all, he's still new to this kind of thing, and that man isn't a joke."
"You know we don't have a choice; the longer we wait, the more dangerous it is for him; we need to catch him while we still know his intentions, and Fein is already determined to do it," I said, my usual serious face on.
*thud* *thud* *thud* *thud*
A sound of quiet footsteps was heard, regardless of how quiet it is in a ghost-quiet place.
There is no such thing as a quiet sound when a drop of water can still be heard.
I and Michael just stood there quietly staring at the door as it slowly opened.
"Yoh," the man said as a greeting.
He has a faint violet mist on his body.
"Congratulations on becoming an Official Degu User," Michael said warmly.
