Earth’s Alpha Prime - Chapter 48

In the next few seconds, MJ and I mentally had a quick discussion about his Innate Talent and decided on the future course of action.

Then, I said to Dante, “I am currently looking for something called [Arc Spirit Fruit], and since it’s a Grade-4 Spirit Fruit, it’s scarce. There is a low possibility that it might be present within our Trial Zone.”

“The surface area of a Trial Zone is 10,000 sq.km and unless luck showers over me, it would take a long time for me to find the [Arc Spirit Fruit] by myself.”

“But the Fate Stats that you have can also be used to find almost anything by expanding enough of them, and this is where the second condition comes into place.”

“You have to use your Fate Stats to find me that [Arc Spirt Fruit] but since you are only Tier-1, the range of your [Fate Sequence Perception] is only 1000 meters around you.”

“That is why I will help you in levelling up and to quickly reach Tier-2 so that the range of your ability will increase, thus making it easier to search for the Grade-4 Spirit Fruit. Meanwhile, you will be under my protection.”

“Of course, meanwhile, you will be under my protection, and you might think how can you be safe in a world filled with unknown monsters.”

“So, let me share some hidden information about the Trial Program. But before that, tell me what you think about the System’s purpose for creating this Alpha Trial Program.”

Upon hearing my query, Dante seriously pondered for a bit before replying that the only thing he knows about it was from the notifications that appeared when we were first teleported here.

The ones chosen for the Trial Program were those with the highest potential Innate Talents to record data for the system to assimilate with our planet efficiently.

After that, he proceeded to tell me that the ALPHA Program was not just for Earth, but it also includes several other planets, the same information that I received when an Alpha Chosen was first evolved to Tier-2.

Then, I revealed to him that it all was just a part of a bigger truth and shared the knowledge I received from MJ.

Other Alpha Chosen might blame the System for dragging them into a monster-filled world where the only choice was to kill or die, but what they didn’t know was that if not for the System, there wouldn’t be any Trial Program, which was the hope for survival against the future monster invasion.

Instead of that, there would be a full frontal monster invasion on the life planets in the whole galaxy.

All this will become general knowledge when the System assimilates with the Milky Way Galaxy.

Then everyone will come to know that the system doesn’t cause the monster invasion, and instead, it increases the chance of survival for the life planet’s inhabitants.

One of those benefits was what the System calls ‘efficient assimilation’ as it creates something called dungeons on Earth to prevent a direct, full-frontal monster invasion.

Another benefit that the System provided for the Galaxy’s inhabitants was introducing the Trial Program before the inevitable monster invasion.

Within that Trial Program, the Chosen individuals would grow stronger by increasing their Tiers to deal with the unavoidable monster invasion on their respective life planets.

Through MJ, I learned that the galaxies in the rest of the Universe have also gone through the monster invasion in the past millions of years.

But with the System preparing a Trial Program for the highest potential candidates, the chances to defend against the extinction-level invasion increases.

As to why the monsters are invading planets, even MJ doesn’t have information about it.

Coming back to the Trial Program, the Chosen for the Alpha Program were the ones who had to face life-threatening dangers in the Trial World, even more than those who would be chosen for Beta and Gamma programs.

Still, the System set some restrictions on the monsters in the Trial World to increase the survival chances of Alpha Chosen.

That was the reason why I didn’t come across even a single monster that was Tier-3 or above since they were basically confined up within their habitat area.

But those restrictions were there for a limited time.

On Day-7, the restrictions on Low-phase Tier-3 monsters will disappear.

On Day-14, it was the Mid-Phase Tier-3 monsters, and on Day-21, the restrictions will loosen on High-Phase Tier-3 monsters.

According to MJ, this information will only be announced to every Alpha Chosen on Day-4.

With my current Stats, I was as powerful as a Low-Phase Tier-3 life form without even having to enter [INVERSE] mode.

So, till Day-7, I don’t have to worry about monsters.

If I were to use [INVERSE] mode, even those Tier-3 monsters wouldn’t be a problem but since I reached Lv.24, that mode’s cooldown duration extended to 240 minutes(4 hours) along with a 24 minute weakened period.

During that duration, I would be left vulnerable and to prevent that; I shouldn’t depend entirely on [INVERSE] mode.

Since it would take me around 10 days to bring every mastery in the Tier-3 requirement to Stage-3.

Till then, I would be stuck in Lv.25 without any chance to level up, and as a result, I couldn’t gain Undistributed Stats to raise my power.

With that, my overall stats in [STATUS] couldn’t increase anymore, and thus, the overall Looted Stats that could be used in [INVERSE] mode wouldn’t increase further.

If any typical person were in my situation, the only way to gain Stats was through stats from Spirit Items and Spirit Fruits or attaining Achievement Titles.

But, in my case, I had another option. It was to gain 5* Looted Stats from the [LOOTED STATUS] into my [STATUS] by exiting the [INVERSE] mode every time.

That was one of the reasons as to why I relentlessly entered [INVERSE] mode twice, during the past 9 hours by disregarding the unending pain that I had to experience.

Coming out of my thoughts, I looked to my side where MJ entered his ‘Professor mode’. He continued to explain the System’s purpose and the restrictions on higher-tier monsters and some other advanced knowledge on masteries, requirements for Tier evolutions.

I call that ‘professor mode’ because whenever he tries to explain something in detail, he creates a virtual blackboard and a virtual piece of white chalk to write and draw on it like he was giving a lecture.

I just shook my head and sighed. I couldn’t blame MJ since he got that annoying habit from me.

When I was a child, I was so dumb that I forget everything that I read in a short period of time. To overcome that, I used an ingenious idea to write down whatever I had to remember, thrice and then memorize it using my exceptional muscle memory.

As long as I write or draw something 3 times, my muscle memory could capture my hand movements, and I was able to write in my examinations, without even an understanding of what I was writing.

That was how I was also how I was able to graduate high school.

Looking at Dante, who stood in front of the floating baby MJ, as he folded his hands and listened with utmost seriousness with a few occasional nods.

It was a rather peculiar experience to see an adult behaving like a student in front of a 1-year-old baby.

MJ went full-on professor mode for half an hour before finally stopping. Meanwhile, I rested on the Sandbed and made a full stamina recovery.
