Axel sat on the bed trying to forget what happened today but it was still stuck in his mind. He knew he will never be the same again. He sighed as he heard his mom come back from the emergency meeting the school had authorised in order to discuss what happened and the reparations for the damages caused.
He got up and sat at his desk and opened his laptop and searched for the school shootout that happened today. The article he read said that the shootout was because of terrorists trying to cause fair in the government. But to him it felt like that was no it but he wasn't sure and definitely couldn't find answers.
Axel had to face the truth: he was weak, he was hopeless. He never told himself that but bow he was weak. Ever since his dad died, he had felt lonely. He was bullied, used and shunned. He didn't have a single friend In school.
Axel squeezed his hand thinking of his mother. She had been always been there for him when he needed her. He always wanted to provide for her ut how could he when he was like this. He slammed his fist on table in frustration and was about to cry when something happened.
A holographic interface flickered to life before him.
*Combat Talent System: Activated*
Axel's mind reeled as he stared at the interface.

Axel stared at the interface. A system was granted to him like in those Webnovel stories he read. Now he had one and one to make him stronger. He grinned and knew he had to make good use of it.
*Quests:*
1. *Initiation*: Complete 5 combat training sessions (0/5)
Axel's fingers instinctively reached out to interact with the interface. He selected the Martial Arts talent tree and discovered various skills, such as *Punch Mastery* and *Kick Techniques*. Each skill had a level requirement and experience cost.
*Combat Log*:
Axel's training sessions would earn him experience points, which he could use to level up and unlock new skills.
So he needed training sessions to be able to earn Experience points. That was OK as this system was a game changer and the means for him to get stronger. He thought about his mother.
"Just you wait, Mom" Axel said" I will protect you"
