After that crazy incident, Zack is now resting in the village's hospital. It seems like his broken bones and overly strained muscles are healing quite fast

Cheska: Good morning sir Zack! Are you feeling well? Can you move your arms now? How are your legs feeling? Please tell me e-v-e-r-y-thing!
Zack: All fine now! Thanks to your magical healing powers doc!
Cheska: That is good to hear! By the way, you have some visitors today. Come in!

As Cheska, the doctor of the hospital who can use healing powers with the help of magic, left, Hans and Tessie came in

Zack: Oh! Hans, Tessie! How are you?
Hans: We should be the one asking that hahaha.
Tessie: Seriously though, you kicked some ass back there! What powers do you have?

Powers. In the world of Pandora, 1 out of 100,000 people have been given powers as they were created by the creators, Pandora and Faye. This is the birth of the 1st generation heroes. The creators created a total of 2,000,000 people. So, there is a total of 20 1st generation heroes. If this 1st generation heroes gave birth to a baby, they will have a power related to their parents. Thats how the second generation heroes are born. Heroes, unlike humans, never age. They can change their appearance as they please but only 1 time. For example, Hero A choosed to look like a kid, he or she will stay as a kid for the rest of his or her life. That is, unless his or her powers can change his or her appearance. But there are rare cases where some heroes continue aging until they are in their 20's or 30's. Zack and Lea are examples of that. Why? Who knows... Anyways back to the topic, Zack then explained his powers

Zack: Well... do you guys play RPG games?
Tessie: RPG...?
Hans: Oh Role Playing Games? I played a few....
Tessie: Don't tell me your low grades in high school are caused by those games honey....
Hans: W-well... I can't say I agree nor deny that ahaha...
Tessie: But how does this RPG game relate to your power Zack?
Zack: Well... You see, a character in an rpg game has this stats system. As a character level up, they will earn stats points. This stats point can be used to strengthen your stats. Based on what the player see fit, he or she will then use this points to power up the stats that he or she needs for the role of his or her character. Or in some term, allocating stats points.
Hans: Yeah. Your explanation is practically that of a tutorial npc ahaha.
Zack: Anyways, my power is to "re-allocate".
Tessie: You mean like changing the points you allocated to another stats?
Zack: Yeah.
Hans: But wait, usually in an RPG game, you need a scroll or pay in-game cash to do so. Not to mention, it takes quite some time to re-allocate your stats in the middle of the battle field.
Zack: Ahaha yes. But with my powers, I can re-allocate fast as long as I think of what I need. But as of now, I can only re-allocate to 2 stats. And the only percentage I can do is 100% or 50% to 50%.
Hans: Also, if you re-allocate all your stats points to, for example, strength and agility, your defenses would be at your base stats. You would be very vulnerable.
Tessie: Stre... Agili... Base stats... Explain please?
Hans: Well, in a game character there are 6 basic stats. Those are: Strength, Agility, Vitality, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Luck. Strength is for your physical power. Agility for your speed and reflexes. Vitality for your physical endurance and maximum health. Intelligence for your magical power. Wisdom for your casting speed, mana regeneration, and magical defense. And Luck for your critical chance and well, luck.
Tessie: ... played a "few" RPG games huh...
Hans: !.. uh.. anyways, Zack?
Zack: Ahaha yes, there are a lot of things to consider if I use my power. Best thing I can do is to train hard so my base stats would be high.
Hans: Yeah... that aside, how fast can you re-allocate?
Zack: If its 100%, instantaneously. If the 50-50, I cant use my powers for an hour.
Hans: I see. That explains your broken body.
Zack: Well, even if I can do it all instantaneously, it would destroy the impact if I take away all of my strength before I can make contact with my attack. Also, once my attack landed, my body was affected right away.
Hans: Oh... yeah I guess. You could just do full agi though then once you jump, strength and vitality.
Zack: ...!!!!
Hans: Ahaha! I guess I am more of a gamer than you!
