The Insider System

Chapter 10: Lake finds out he's special

After a while of running around Lake finally heard another rat, Lake switched directions to rush towards it. Once he saw the rat Lake slowed down so it wouldn't explode from the impact he also didn't swing as hard as he could. Ding, Lake watched as the Rat went flying and was happy to find it stayed in one piece, as the Rat's corpse started to glow, but before he got the extra loot he wanted to look at how much the kill had given him because it felt like less than earlier.

Lake saw he only got 2 Exp for killing the rat even though it had been giving him 3. Lake reached out to get the Light from the rat's corpse and watched as the number went to 3. Before moving on, Lake wanted to find out why he had gotten less, if anything it would make sense for him to get more. He was wondering if it was because this rat was different or the job change had caused it. "Why would a Thief get more Exp than an Exterminator?"

Lake started to poke around in his system interface, Quickly he found himself in the job page But when he picked a job it would just switch him to it. "There has to be a way to inspect the details about jobs." An idea popped into his head, up until now he had been using his finder and he bet it wasn't necessary. With a thought Lake watched as his jobs switched back and forth. Looking at exterminator Lake said, "Details, Boom there it is." It made sense for the system to be hands free.

Looking at this page Lake felt it was like looking at a ransom letter The fonts were different on almost every line. Lake felt like he understood. Laka had said The Insider was passed from generation to generation. Maybe the pass holders were able to make permanent changes somehow this was how the generations kept getting stronger. " I wonder how it's done." Lake guessed he would find out in the future. " I'm getting tired."

He needed to go to bed. He had told Sam to wake him in time to go to the hunters building before they left, so he needed to get some sleep because tomorrow was gonna be the first time he was in actual danger since coming to this world.

Thinking about returning to town Lake smiled. He was much faster now and wanted to know how fast he could return. This trip had been about 4 hours long but he ran all over the place so he wasn't sure how far he was from town. Lake switched back to Thief and found the path, he was gonna run as hard as he could and did not want to hit any corn plants. Right when he was about to start running Lake heard another rat.

He didn't really want to go, but he thought of Intangible Loot and the fact he might get a stat point he went for it, a few seconds later Lake was 3 Exp richer Sadly he didn't get anything from Intangible Loot. " Alright time to go." Lake started running and he found his acceleration was crazy after a few steps he was max speed. Going this fast lake thought he could actually feel the drag his clothes produced slowing him down, the air resistance was crazy. He wondered if people were here what would he sound like as he ran past?

After a few minutes of running Lake heard another rat without stopping Lake ran in and out of the corn with another 3 Exp. After about 10 minutes of running Lake passed where he thought the Scarerat was but oddly it wasn't there. Stopping Lake looked closer and saw the pole it had been on was now empty, then he heard it. It sounded like something was crashing through the corn away from Lake. He understood someone was taking the Scarerat for some reason, " Maybe some competitor of Wallace's." Casing after it, Lake felt he should at least Mark it so he could tell Wallace who took it later on. It didn't sound like they were moving so fast so Lake felt he could catch them pretty quickly.

Trying to move more quietly, Lake moved to get a glimpse of them. Seeing someone carrying a sack Lake marked them with his skill. With the mission complete Lake started to go back to town. He would get revenge in the future for this theft, running to Wallace's house Lake went straight to bed. He would worry about this and the 12 Exp he needed to Level up again tomorrow.
