Hitman with a Badass System

After crawling away from the river, Micheal found a big tree and sat under it to familiarize himself with the system.

"Hey system, come up"

He ordered in his mind as the interface popped up before him. He could see the tabs such as host, shop, storage, subordinates, and upgrade.

Micheal looked left and right to see if anyone or anything was coming but weirdly everything seemed paused.

"While you access the system, the time will be momentarily slowed down until the host quit the system "

"Wow, cool"

His brows raised in surprise hearing the robotic voice.

"Open host"

the system opened the host tab and like in role-playing games, his naked body appeared before him along with his stats.

"Proficient huh?"

Abras's skills merged with him so he instantly learned everything that Abras learned in his lifetime.

"Let's see what's in the storage"

The storage tab opened to reveal a couple of items lying before him and when he concentrated, the details and attributes of the items appeared above them.

The first item in his storage was a black tactical knife as the knife appeared in his hand.

"Hmm, perfect balance and very sharp"

He touched the knife's blade with his thumb and said.

"System, list all these cultivation level in ascending order"

The interface changed and a list of cultivation levels appeared before him.

*System needs to be upgraded to reveal the next levels

At the end of the list, a red warning label appeared,

"Upgrade? What level are you now? How do I upgrade you?"

"Current System version is 1.0, the system needs 10000 badass points to be upgraded to version 2.0"

"Let me guess, more functions and more shop items will be unlocked only if I upgrade you"

Micheal read enough novels in his free time to realize how the system might work.

"The host is correct"

"How do I earn these badass points? Is there a guide or how to list?"

"Whenever the host acts badass the system will reward you with badass points"

"Not to boast but I'm a badass, system, so it won't be hard"

Micheal proudly grinned and expected an answer from the system but he didn't get one.

He already checked the healing potion so he moved to the next item which was a blue gift box.

"Does the host want to open the box?"

"No shit sherlock, open it"

With a flash of light, the box opened and a black dress appeared.

"Wait a minute, is this?"

Micheal didn't need any introduction to the dress because it was one of the most iconic costumes in his world, the black costume of Neo from the Matrix movies.

Item Name: Neo Costume

Special trait: None

Durability: Six months

"Equip it"

Since he was naked in a new world and this costume looked super cool on him, he ordered the system.

The costume fitted him perfectly but he noticed something was missing

"Hey system, where are the sunglasses that come with this costume?"

"Does the host wish to buy the Neo black sunglasses?"

"Yeah, give me that"

The interface changed and entered into the shop tab where he saw the black sunglasses floating before him.

"Three hundred badass points? Shit I don't have much"

"Then the system recommends the host to explore this world and earn more points"

"Let me browse the store for more"

The shop was categorized into weapons, potions, armors, and miscellaneous.

The moment he saw the weapons tab, he opened it with his mind, and a huge range of guns, knives, bows, and a lot more appeared.

"A navy colt is 10000 badass points? Hey system, isn't that too much?"

Even though he didn't know the value of the badass points, ten thousand for an old colt seemed to be very pricey.

"A gun is too overpowered for this world, hence the price. The system recommends the host to explore the world and earn badass points"

Considering a simple colt was this expensive, he didn't even look at the other weapons as he moved to the miscellaneous tab.

There were a few cards that appeared and he looked at the first card.

Name: Surrounding scanner

Function: Scan the host's surrounding for the presence of life

Area of effect: small

Current Level: Level 1

Next Level: Scan will identify potential threats, the area of effect will be increased.

"Hmm, might come in handy, what's next?"

He scrolled to select the next item

Name: Teleporter

Function: Teleport the Host to a different place instantly

Distance: small

Current Level: Level 1

Next Level: The distance will be increased.

Price: 700 badass points

"Teleporter huh? Fancy, next"

Name: X Ray vision

Function: Enable the host to activate X Ray vision

Range: small

Current Level: Level 1

Next Level: The range and the effect will be increased.

Price: 1000 badass points

"Useful, but not that important"

After this card, the system required to be upgraded to view more cards and after fiddling around the system for a few more minutes, Micheal closed the system and stood up to start his adventure in this world.

"I miss that sunglass "

Tying his hair in a ponytail, Micheal started to follow the river as Bear Grylls told in the channels.

"Okay first, I need to find a city or village and gather more intel about this world. Then I should look for a way to earn more money and speaking of money, hey system, can I convert badass points into gold coins or buy coins in a shop?"

"The system needs to be upgraded to level six to unlock that feature"

He heard the robotic voice and sighed.

"It's settled, I need to look for a way to earn money. I hope this world has hit contracts"

After walking for one hour, the clouds started to become darker and the wind was blowing like it would uproot the trees any moment from now as purple lightning cut crazy zig-zag into the dark sky.

"Storm, that's what I need now"

Micheal sighed and looked for a house or anything that looks like a shelter but he couldn't find any.

"It seems I need to go into the forest to take shelter"

Until now he avoided the dark forest and kept walking on the river shore however, now he had no choice but to go into the forest before getting struck by lightning.

The bare branches spiked into the sky - no sign of life was to be found anywhere. It was so dark, he was barely able to see where he was going. There were only small sounds of rustling bushes and the howl of the wind. He didn't know what lay in this dark forest, all he knew was that it wasn't going to be a peaceful time walking into the forest.

Fortunately, when the downspout started, Micheal found a big tree that had gigantic leaves and huge branches. He felt so tiny standing in front of the tree.

Since Abras lived his entire life in the forest, he was an expert in climbing trees and now, Micheal was able to use this skill to climb this tree and take shelter under its leaves.

Like a monkey, he flawlessly climbed the tree and comfortably rested on the branch.

"Hope there are no snakes in this tree"
