Ryan believed that no matter what situation Doc is thrown into, she would not expose anyone's secrets. Yes, of course, till those situations were life-threatening.

Ryan trusted Doc. Although they are not as close as they used to be before, Ryan does not think that his faith in Doc and Doc's faith in Ryan has shaken up even a little.

"She would not."

"She... huh... Could it be... Your girlfriend?"

"Huh? N- no. no... She is not my girlfriend...." Ryan again looked at Doc.

"Okay, then... Who?" Professor asked.

'Who? Yeah... Who indeed?' Ryan thought to himself. Even he was not sure about his relationship with Doc.

"Leave that topic aside. She is not a threat to me so it is fine. Move on to the next topic. Tell me what else do you have with you for starters?"

"For starters huh?" Professor did not answer for a while, as if he was thinking deeply.

"Uh... you are not sure yourself?"

"Of course, I am!" Professor replied quickly, "The next topic... Alright. First, let me, I mean, let us study your stats and skills for now. Let me introduce you to some new changes made into your System."

"Alright. Sounds good. New changes? Right.. after the System rebooted or something."

"System evolution. It happens randomly. But by my studies, it first happens on level 10 or level 15. Then it continues at the interval of 10. In your case, your System has evolved on level 15. That might make your progress slow in the future but I am here for you."

"Okay... But why? Why would the System evolve... There must be a reason, right?"

"Of course there is. I will continue with that. Firstly, here is your stats screen."

"Do you see the difference from before?"

"Yeah... I sure do. And I think, this one is better. It is less chaotic and more definite."

"Uh-hm. Well, if in the future you managed to gain a Mage class then you will have an additional stat of 'Mana'. If you chose a hunter or an archer class then an additional stat will be 'Accuracy.' yeah, you got it."

"Classes... When will I be able to choose a class then?"

"On the Ring System's second evolution. That is when the System will reach level 3. To be precise, the time when you will reach level 25."

"Level 25..." Ryan clenched his fists tightly, grit his teeth, "I can not wait!"

"Do you see... Do you notice that you are different from others Ryan..."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"You have multiple Traits."

"Tch. they are not useful at all though. All that allowed me to survive till now is just my Ring System!"

Professor did not reply. He stood there with a despondent vibe, "You do not understand it, Ryan." He muttered.

"Oh, those free points... What am I supposed to do with them?"

"Free stat points. You gain them by completing a Quest, or simply by leveling up. You can add them to either your Strength, Defense (if you are wearing armor) Agility, or Stamina. That will just increase their stats, as it says."

"Amazing! This is amazing!"

"You skills now."

< Host's Skills >

< Vision Lv. 14

Blood Fists Lv. 14

Blood storage Lv. 10 [Capacity: 200ML]

Inventory Lv. 14: [Items: Snack bag, Vampire diary, Advance-Tier Vampire blood flask, Vampire UV rays blocking Sunglasses]

Regeneration Lv. 23

Blood Simmer Lv. 25

Spider Web Lv. 30 [New!!] >

"Whoa.. Spider web. I always wanted to be a Spider-man."

"Oh. So you have already gained a Magic-Grade skill huh? Amazing."

"Oh... right, the System was talking about some Magic skill business."

"See. now, this. Is important."

"...okay"

"Your skills. And your System." Professor took a deep breath before starting, "From now on, to level up, to upgrade a skill over level 30, 40, 50, 60... So no, you will have to complete a set of tasks. Your skills evolve at level 30, you are given a test after completing the tasks you will be able to use the skill. You need to pass the test in order to use your Magic skill and above.

"Same with your System. For example, if you reach level 25 [where your second evolution will process] you would not evolve till you pass the test and solve the required task."

"...Do you mean I will not be able to use my System at level 25 unless I complete the test?"

"No. You will be able to use your available skills, strength, agility, defense, Traits, blood manipulation, etc. BUT, your level will not increase, you would not gain experience points, your stats would not upgrade, your skills will not upgrade."

"....Professor.. this is absurd. Do you mean, all the hard work I did in the meantime before completing the test will be gone? BEGONE?!"

"Uh, of course not. When you complete your test, the points will add up to everything. Man, do not worry about shit, just live your life, get stronger. We have a big, huge goal in front of us!" Professor ordered.

The search of meaning, your Ikigai1, your passion... Ryan had found none of them and he was already sixteen! He also thought there was no purpose for him to live anymore since he lost his Erin.... Then his mother.

But then, like a bright ray of hope, an RPG System appeared in front of him in the form of a Ring which has been doing an excellent job of protecting him.

Slowly, in his life entered Doc, Gwen... Naomi, his friends, Rigid, Devon... He was finally finding some hope in continuing living after being once killed by the most wanted criminal, Tye Sheridan.

Ryan looked down at Gwen who was sleeping on his thigh, then at Naomi... Finally, he took a look at Doc.

He turned away his gaze from those three, the video screen appeared in front of him, he was about to continue his talk with Professor when he suddenly felt a movement on his shoulder.

Ryan turned his head away, the video screen disappeared. 'Is she awake?' Ryan thought as he turned his head to his left shoulder.

"Muff!!"

"Humf!" Before Ryan could see anything, touch anything, he felt his lips hit something cold and soft... Very soft... A little warm but dry... Sweet but numb... Doc's lips.
