At night, the streets of Konoha, have a special atmosphere. It feels calm and mysterious. The lights are dim, and there's a soft glow from lanterns and streetlights. The village looks magical with shadows and the gentle breeze rustling the leaves. Sometimes, ninja patrol the streets quietly. Walking through the streets at night lets you see the village in a new way, with the moonlight making everything look peaceful and beautiful.
On the other hand was Ren, while normally calm and collected, he was anything but so at the moment, at first the boxes floating above everyone's head were annoying to him, he could see everyone's names...
And then it hit him, he could see everyone's names, every single person had a name floating above their head, so Ren lounged around listening to the conversation happening around him.
"...Mari-san"
"...Rika-chan"
"Kyo-kun..."
...
As he realized that every name he could hear was correct, the plan to go to the hospital was swiftly abandoned by Ren as he leaned against the wall. The testing continued deeper into the night, after walking back and forth a couple of times, Ren spent almost a couple of hours verifying all he could about the authenticity of names.
While it wasn't an A=B and B=C so A=C situation, but that logic could be applied here as well. If the names that were floating above people were correct then that could mean that whatever the boxes were saying was correct too. Highly doubtful, but possibly correct.
As Ren closed the door to his apartment, he was greeted with the sight of a disorganized and cluttered living room, at the side there was a shoe rack with a bunch of sandals lying around it. The living area was littered with clothes strewn across the furniture and floor, with one clear designated seating area that wasn't covered with any wearables. Empty food containers and dirty dishes were scattered around his kitchen which was visible at the side of the living room.
Ren ignored the mess and he went through the living room into his bedroom, his bedroom was clear, or at least it appeared so, Ren wanted to take a bath but right now his focus was on something else. He flung himself onto the bed and focused on the message that has been in front of him for a while now. It was mildly irritating at first but then Ren got used to it.
With no other option, he clicked Collect and the block blinked out again, a little frustrated at not having enough context, he didn't have to wait long as a new 'Quest' replaced the previous one.
This time Ren was prepared for the now continuously blinking light in front of him, a new block replaced the old one as Ren strapped in for a read, as this was a long one.
...
Ren read everything carefully, the possibilities about which he was reading both excited and terrified him, according to the blocks he could increase the amount of chakra he possessed by simply allocating his spare attribute points to the CHA stat.
'Status' Ren thought and a familiar block superimposed itself on the description block. He looked carefully at the attribute points and sure enough, he had 20 spare ones. He hesitated once before he simply dumped 10 points into the CHA stat. Ren felt a sudden flood of chakra entering his system, he felt a strange rush for a few seconds but it left him wide-eyed staring at his status block.
...
'...what the fuck just happened.'
