The Over-Break System

'I should have fucking chosen Expert.' Benny finished his thought when his Body was put back together, and a sudden wave of nausea washed through every fiber of his being, causing him to collapse to his knees without observing his immediate surroundings.

After the particles restructured themselves, forming his Body, Benny was transported to a colorful room the size of one American football field *100 Yards or 91 meters.* filled with numerous gadgets.

Clutching his chest and panting heavily, Benny was slow to collect himself and get back to his feet. The first thing he noticed was how weak he felt. Gone was the sense of superiority that came along with being Peak of Tier-2 and having all of his stats capped; instead, he felt weak and helpless as he moved his body around, performing a few calisthenic exercises such as jumping jacks and stretches.

"Fuck, this is going to be rough," Benny thought aloud as he pulled up his Stat profile and flinched in dismay.

"Crap, even before my first awakening, I shouldn't have been this bad off; one point in every state is worse than most newborn babies." Wearing a grimace, Benny looked at his Estoc and Aspis resting on the ground where they had fallen when he collapsed, thanks to the sudden onset of nausea.

While Benny ruefully stored all of his equipment in his inventory and switched to a basic set of workout clothes, he said, "I don't think I can use either of you yet; even wearing my armor is hard right now; when I gain some points, I will summon you back."

After closing his eyes and trying to feel the Ambient Mana particles around him, Benny found that everything from his Codex to his Body had fallen back down to Tier-0, as pre-explained.

Worst of all, just wearing his armor had drained his Stamina down to 2 points. Had he been any slower in changing out of his equipment, there was no doubt that Benny would have passed out from exhaustion.

-Welcome to your Tribulation Quest.-

-You are presently in Chamber 0.-

-Ten obstacles need to be completed in this Chamber.-

-Obstacle one, Cross the beam and reach the opposite side of the pool.-

-Time remaining in Chamber 0: 30 minutes.-

Squinting his eyes to attempt and see the opposite end of the room, Benny heaved a sigh and calmly walked forward a few meters until he arrived at a wooden plank situated 25 meters above a pool filled with pristine water.

The distance from one side of the pool to the other was negligible, so much so that if he were in peak form, Benny wouldn't even have to think to jump over it quickly, yet now, even walking across it at a brisk pace seemed like a daunting task thanks to his abysmal Stamina.

Sitting in front of the plank, Benny closed his eyes and allowed his Stamina to replenish, which wasted a full 2 minutes, but once it was done, he got up and crossed the plank, albeit wobbly and uncoordinated.

-You have completed Obstacle 1/10.-

-You have Leveled up.-

-All of your stats have increased to 10.-

Feeling the burst of energy in his body, Benny smiled and moved on to the second Obstacle, a net ladder that led to a platform 30 meters above.

Looking up and analyzing it carefully, Benny grabbed the sturdy and firm arm-thick rope before pulling down and stepping up with his right leg first. It took a few minutes, but eventually, Benny scrambled his way up to the top of the platform after figuring out how to conduct himself.

Once reaching the top, he rolled onto his back, panting as if he had run a marathon.

'Damn weak stats; why don't I remember things being this hard when I was a kid?' Benny complained in his mind before struggling back to his feet and reading the notifications from the Passing Down Interface.

-You have completed Obstacle 2/10.-

-You have Leveled up.-

-All of your stats have increased by 10 points.-

Opening his Profile and seeing that all his stats had reached 20 points, he smiled and waited for the burst of energy to calm down. Then with renewed vigor, Benny cleared one Obstacle after another, only struggling on the last Obstacle where he had to dodge spiked balls shot out of strange cannons.

-You have completed Obstacle 10/10.-

-You have Leveled up.-

-All of your stats have increased by 10 points.-

-You have succeeded in completing every challenge presented in Chamber 0. Please move to the Light Door at the Checkpoint, and move on to Chamber 1.-

Glancing briefly at his stats, which had all hit the 100-point Cap, Benny wasted no more time and briskly walked through what the Passing Down Interface called a "Light Door."

-You have reached the first Checkpoint.-

-You are presently in Chamber 1.-

-20 obstacles need to be completed in this Chamber.-

-Obstacle one, Cross the beam and reach the opposite side of the pit without being knocked off by the Gaus Cannons.-

-Time remaining in Chamber 1: One Hour.-

"Eh? Another plank, oh crap, this one is far more dangerous." Stepping up to the Obstacle, Benny looked down and noticed thousands of sharp metal spikes 50 meters below. His eyes then scanned the left and right sides of the pool, where an impressive array of golden cannons were lined up side by side and pointing at the beam.

"No point in waiting; this place is twice as big as the last one, and from what I can tell, the Interface stepped up the challenges by a large margin." Taking a deep breath, Benny narrowed his eyes, tapped the toes of his right foot on the ground, and made a mad dash across the beam.

The instant his foot stepped on the wooden plank, four cannons exploded with compressed air, expelling basketball-sized spikey projectiles.

Without hesitation, Benny leaned side to side, narrowly avoiding being hit by the projectiles while never breaking his stride and keeping his balance. Eventually, after a few minutes, he crossed that more than four times as long beam and stepped up to Obstacle Two.

-You have completed Obstacle 1/20.-

-You have Evolved to Tier-1.-

-All of your Affinities have Evolved to Tier-1.-

-All of your stats have increased by 10 points.-

Walking forward, Benny crossed over a marked circle drawn on the white-tiled ground where a training droid stood quietly instead of a net ladder like what he faced in the previous Chamber.

-You have reached Obstacle 2/20-

-Defeat your opponent by either knocking them out of the marked area or dealing enough damage to signify a kill.-

Waving his hand, Benny's Estoc instantly appeared. Before it could touch the ground, Benny channeled a mixed charge of all four of his Affinities, then grabbed the hilt and quickly activated its special ability to reduce its weight so that he could wield it at Tier-1.

Then, with a spinning flourish, he rushed forward and attacked with a verticle thrust targeting the Droid's center mass *Chest*. Unfortunately, though, this Droid wasn't Early Tier-1 like, Benny and was, instead, Mid-Tier-1. Thus it quickly sidestepped his attack, and before Benny's wide eyes, it flicked its arms, turning them into insanely sharp-looking blades before fighting back.

Frowning at the Droid's quick reaction and sensing that it was stronger than him, Benny adjusted on the fly and went on the defensive while channeling a small burst of Water Mana into his left hand. Meanwhile, his right hand, wielding the Estoc, gracefully parried and blocked every incoming attack.

It took Benny five minutes of back-and-forth combat with the Droid before he could finally create an opening. Once he did, Benny's left hand pointed up, and he fired off a condensed and focused jet of Water Mana directly into the head of the Droid, exploding it into fragments of metal.

-You have completed Obstacle 2/20.-

-You have leveled up.-

-All of your stats have increased by 10 points.-

Exhaling sharply, Benny rolled out his shoulder and stored his Estoc back in his inventory to save on Stamina before opening his Status Profile and checking his Resource Stats.

"Ugh, I never thought I'd see the day I got my butt handed to me by one of those training Droids, let alone one only at Mid-Tier-1." Clicking his tongue, Benny aggressively kicked the disabled headless Droid and made his way over to the 3rd Obstacle.

What greeted him was a small square trampoline positioned below an angled tall net ladder.

"What the hell…is this some gameshow now? It was bad enough having to do menial Obstacles, but this, this is just stupid." Benny complained before preparing a running start, bouncing off the trampoline, and then grabbing hold of the netting.
