Chapter 5: Biggest robbery in history

A piece of massively shocking news was making its way across all major American Media outlets and even a large number of international Media worldwide. Just the titles of the articles was enough to shock people silly!

[Shock! The biggest robbery in history just took place!]

[A shocking amount of $5.2 billion stolen without a trace of the perpetrators!]

"Breaking News! An unbelievable amount of money was just stolen from a hedge fund in New York in the early hours this morning. The management of this hedge fund have been running around like crazies all day trying to figure out where all of this money could have possibly went, they even involved government agencies such as the FBI and the IRS due to the sheer amount that was stolen."

"However, seemingly like a ghost, there is no trace left of who took this money, and although it should be impossible, they have even been unable to even determine through transaction logs and records the account that this money was transferred to."

"This all seems completely illogical, yet the reality of the situation is that this is all very real and is happening right under our noses."

"The President of the US has also released a statement condemning such actions, and vows to tighten up the digital security on such mammoth holding accounts to ensure such a scandal does not reoccur."

Of course no amount of security work could impede Lumen from repeating the exact same thing again.

____________________

Lumen was aware of the consequences his simple actions had caused, but frankly at this moment he didn't care of the effects it had on the people he had no relation or connection to.

He was too busy making a body enhancement serum in order to further enhance his body, giving him an even further head start on all of the other humans.

He decided that this was his next course of action after reading the new linked quest he had received from the extra rewards.

[Linked Quest: Body Training (1)

Description: Now that you have obtained a human body, it is time to grind out stats before the opening of the Fantasia Realm in order to give yourself as many advantages as possible.

Quest Requirements: Enhance your body either through intense physical exercise or if you have the facilities, through the use of drugs.

Quest Rewards: 10 unallocated stat points, 100 credits.]

Naturally he chose the second method, however he would only be able to do this once as the effects of the drugs were only a one time thing.

To make this happen, Lumen made use of knowledge and medical techniques that seemed so far beyond modern science that if a laymen were to see it, they would think it's magic.

'I should produce the highest quality physical body enhancement serum, only this would be suitable enough for my goals as of right now.'

As he thought this, he had already gotten to work in the recently renovated lab that he specifically procured for the creation of his own real body. The equipment he needed to create the drug just so happened to share many similarities to that of the equipment that he already owned, so he only made some small but essential adjustments before he got to work on creating the drug.

Once everything was set up, it was only a matter of time before Lumen was done in the lab, and what resulted in his hard work over those hours was a small, 10ml tube of a bright red liquid that resembled blood but remained translucent.

Now all Lumen needed to do was inject this liquid into his own body.

And so he did.

Although he had witnessed countless humans do this exact process before in his time as the Central AI of the human race, it was his first time experiencing it from the point of view of the person taking the drugs, so the pain that he was feeling now was completely new to him and even reached the point of being unbearable at times.

Lumen lay there, alone in the lab, clutching at his freshly developed hair whilst screaming guttural roars that rivalled even that of the most beastly creatures. Blood, dirt and grime poured out of every pore, hole or opening in Lumen's body as it kept on flowing out as if he had an endless supply in that weak human body of his.

Eventually caving in under the intense pain and stress that his body was under, Lumen passed out in a pool of his own blood and dirt. If anyone were to see him in this state, trouble would definitely come as it looked fresh out of a crime scene. Thankfully though he had the foresight to lock all of the doors in his facility as well as amp up the security systems all over his base so that even if an army came knocking, they wouldn't so much as make it past the gate without meeting heavy resistance.

'Ugh.... I never want to experience something as uncomfortable and painful like that again.'

Lumen slowly awakened, in an almost dried puddle of blood as he gradually made light of his situation. The first thing he did when he managed to catch his bearings was to check the situation of his body by hooking himself up to various testing instruments in the lab.

These instruments were custom modified by Lumen to be able to accurately measure the features of a human body, and the results showed that his body was in peak condition.

After testing himself, he checked his status screen for the changes he had greatly anticipated.

His stats had nearly doubled from before he had taken the body enhancement serum!

It seemed that he had completed the Body training (1) quest as he had received the 10 unallocated stat points, on top of the 5 he had already from his level up.

A new quest called body training (2) took its place but he put that aside for now.

Lumen inspected his new status and quite liked how all of his fields were occupied with a piece of info now and nothing was blank like his physical stats and race were before.

However he was overjoyed to replace out that his title and talent remained the same. Not to mention the fact that his lifespan remained infinite!

But he wasn't finished inspecting yet, as he now wanted to know more about each stat and what it did, and luckily he didn't have to stay confused for long as when he concentrated his thoughts on the Endurance stat, the field expanded and a description now lay below it.

[Endurance (Physical Stat):

Description: Endurance refers to the physical resistance and toughness of the human body. This stat determines how much damage it can take before collapse from exhaustion or death. This stat alone determines the Health of the user on a scale of 1:100.]

Lumen then did the same with all of the others and their description remained self explanatory except for Wisdom.

[Intelligence (Mental Stat):

Description: This stat determines the logical reasoning of the host, and determining the total mana pool available at a scale of 1:10.]

He also found from inspecting all of the stats that the average for each stat lay between 15-25 for the entirety of the human race.

This meant that he was over double the value of even the strongest humans on Earth at that moment, but he doubted the difference would stay so big when the Fantasia Realm opened.
