ROLAND ATWOOD

Roland, a middle-aged man in his late forties, was a street food seller at the local subway.

He set up his business every evening to sell to the people who came for their different businesses at the subway and also to those who came to take the evening trains to their various destinations.

He was also homeless and spent his whole night on the subway while he sold his food all night.

In the mornings, he went over to the place where he bought the ingredients he would use for the evening.

Although Roland was also homeless, he had a small shelter somewhere in the town where he always rested.

Through selling the food by the roadside, he had been able to make something of himself, but he always acted very poorly.

Allen knew that very well, and whenever he asked Roland why he behaved that way, Roland always replied with. “ It is better to be regarded as a poor man than to be seen as a rich man”.

Although Allen never understood anything in that sentence, he always nodded

    SYSTEM PUNISHMENT. It was very risky for him for people to know what he had acquired now and that was his thoughts. Allen stood there calmly and waited and eventually the train arrived at the station. Immediately the doors of the train opened Allen saw a heavily built man manhandling a young lady, shouting at her and occasionally beating her. Everybody looked on in sadness and nobody dared interfered The heavily built man seemed very rich and no one dared to talk back at him or interfere in what was going on knowing for sure that they were going to get themselves in trouble. The city was a lion's den for the poor people and a playground for the rich people. Allen looked on sadly as the man Continued manhandling the lady in the subway. SYSTEM: Rescue the victim and Humiliate the bully now or punishment follows immediately. Allen heard this. He did not know whether or not to obey the system and get his money or to ignore the system and receive punishment from it. If he obeyed

Are you okay now?” Roland asked Allen with a smile.Allen nodded in the affirmative.“ Okay, you can finish up your food and rest for now. Let me go and attend to the customers.” Roland said and stood up as he left to continue his work.Allen sat down quietly as he munched the food slowly.He was deep in thoughts about what had just happened It was obvious that he could not keep this secret for a long time.If he obeyed the system and worked with it, he was going to reveal his secret, and if he did not, he was definitely going to be punished and always would create a scene for himself.Allen thought of the best way to take care of this without being known.He could not even wish for the system to go away from him, knowing that the system could make him rich and strong enough to be able to face his enemies.Allen knew that at the Subway station, almost every day, there was one kin

    TRUTH OF THE MATTERAllen walked behind Roland as they headed towards his house.He was happy that he was once again going to learn from his master.Allen remembered the movie he had watched the previous day.He remembered the suit the hero was wearing, and he thought about how he was going to get his own.The only challenge he had was that he had to be able to quickly change himself into his costume without being found when the system activates every day.Another part of Allen told him to inform Roland about this and see if Roland could help him, but he knew that it was very risky for him to do so, and it was not a wedding to share his new found Susan with anybody else. Maybe not now.Allen and Roland got to Roland's house. The house was on the outskirts of the town and was not very big. The outside of the house was very wretched and looked like a poor man's house. However, the inside of the house talked differently about it.It was a two-bedroom apartment ensuite. But Roland was sta

    FATE OF THE BULLYAs Allen and Roland spoke, Allen remembered something. He had not heard from the system in a long while.After he received his second punishment for not accepting a mission, he had not heard from the system again, and now he seemed to be getting worried.However, he shook that idea of and continued his interaction with Roland“ That is not a problem, boy.This evening, when we go back to work, you can go back to your crib and get your items.Come stay with me in the meantime, and then we will discuss what you are going to do later. For now, let's go back there and begin with our training session before the sun comes up high” Roland said and stood up from his seat, making his way out.Allen stood up and followed.********In the HospitalJacob sat on a hospital bed with his face bandaged and an arm.He was in great pain and held great anger.He had spent the night in the hospital after he was being brought in by his men, who themselves were injured.Jacob was boiling

    ABANDONED BY THE SYSTEMThe sun was shining high in the sky. It was already midday, and the streets were deserted.Allen walked calmly on the road, heading towards his home.He looked happy and had a good face, but was walking at a slow pace through the streets.Allen had just finished his training session with Roland a few hours ago and was already on his way to his house.He was thinking about the system seriously. For close to thirty hours, he had not yet heard from the system, and Allen was beginning to get worried, with the thought that the system had left him.As Allen walked down the road, another thought occurred to him.He was supposed to plan on how he was going to protect his identity and the system, and now that the system had not yet been activated, was the perfect time for him to do so.Allen took out his small mobile phone from his pocket and operated it while slowly walking through the streets.He still had the bandage from yesterday on his shoulder, but he was no long

    SECOND DEFEATSYSTEM ACTIVATED, USER DEFENCE ENABLED!!!Allen heard the voice in his head once more He heard it loud and clear and was sure the voice was that of the system.Allen heaved a sigh of relief and dropped the bag he was holding, he was now finally ready to fight.Allen stared at the young men facing him with sticks, ready to pounce on him.Allen turned around and faced Jake.“ I am giving you and your people one last chance for them to save themselves. Get your people out of here peacefully” Allen said to Jake.He was trying to exercise dominance and courage to make Jake and his young men fear him.“ You are scared, right? I am going to beat you to a pulp today” Jake fired back.Allen smiled and nodded.“ I think you will need six ambulances here, to treat broken arms” Allen said sarcastically“ We are seven here you dumbass,” Jake said as he pointed out Allen’s mistake. Allen nodded in affirmation and turned to face the boys with the weapons.“ I know dude. One of you wi

    THE MAYOR IS IN TOWN Allen arranged what he needed to pick in a big bag.He did not have a lot of items so they could all easily fit in a single bag.After that, Allen picked all the items he did not need into another bag and came out to dump them in the dustbin.While going back inside, he noticed that all the people he had beaten had left and nobody was in sight.However, he noticed a speck of blood on the ground where they were all lying during the fight.“ One must have gotten himself hurt” Allen murmured to himself as he walked into the roomHe began to feel pity for the boys.They were all blindly following Jacob and Jake, and always got into trouble.Jacob and Jake were always using them to do the dirty while they (Jacob and Jake) were always free.The only thing these boys got in return was to be fed by Jacob, and just the urge to feel part of a rich gang.Most of these boys were also people who had been bullied in the past, and in a bid to escape being bullied, decided to jo

    THE TOUGHEST FIGHTSystem: System Activated, Mission found.Attack hijackers and Free Yourself.Mission Reward: Maximum speed of 75 km/hrAllen looked surprised by what the system said.He did not understand what the system meant by the reward it was giving was some speed, and he did not understand that.But that was not his problem at that moment. He had to find a way out.Allen looked at the driver who was scared as hell, and then looked at outside as the men approached the car pointing guns at The taxi driver's eyes met Allen's in the rearview mirror, "Sorry, mate." the driver said and ducked and sprinted away into the bushes, leaving Allen alone. The hijackers yanked open the doors, their guns trained on Allen.Allen knew he was alone and had to do it himself.The men were already at the door and were ordering him out.It was obvious that they were car hijackers and just wanted the car to themselves.On a normal day, Allen would have also given in since even the driver had fled f

    THE UNSEEN HEROAllen walked out of the room and made his way to the side of the bank that led to the banking hall, tiptoeing. Right before the door, he could see another door by his left, slightly open.Allen gave up his aim of entering the banking hall and entered the open room.He kept tiptoeing in until he heard the sound of someone in there, behind a second door in the room, which was also slightly open.“Hurry up and open this; I don’t have time,” the voice said in a threatening tone.“I am trying. I can’t open it with pressure; i need to take my time to open it else it's going to automatically lock for hours." The second voice replied shakinglyAllen quickly deciphered the voices to be that of a robber and possibly a staff member of the bank.It was evident the robber was trying to get the staff to open the lock to the safe where the money was being kept.He took a silent, deep breath as he walked to the door.“In exactly three seconds, push the door as hard as you can and barg

    I WILL BE BACKSystem Defence Activated.System Guide Activated.Allen heard the system say.He heaved a sigh and looked around, trying to think of what he was going to do.He noticed a lane beside the bank that he could pass, and without hesitation, he took the lane.He walked for a few seconds until he got to the back of the bank, where the trash cans were.Allen looked around to ensure nobody was looking at him and then entered.He realized he was out of security coverage and so he dropped his bag.In a minute, he had changed his dress and was now wearing a body fitting long seemed shirt.He wore the mask of the spiderman, and none of his body parts were visible.Allen took out the pistol and the knives and hid it in his costume.“ So what do I do now?” Allen murmured to himself. “ Go through the backdoor and walk in. Take the first door on your right. Enter and stay there for one minute” .Allen obeyed at once and tiptoed to the backdoor. He opened it and entered.It looked like

    TIME FOR BIGGER MISSIONSIn the next thirty minutes, Allen found himself in a computer store.He bought a brand new hp G5 laptop with a very high performance, as well as a router.He walked back home with a straight face.Now, he is going to take it as a responsibility to make sure the right thing is being done in the entire city.All he needed to do was register for the online courses and take his lessons seriously, and with the help of the system, he knew he was going to be successful.As Allen walked home, his phone rang.Allen took out the phone and saw the caller.It was betty.He answered the call and placed the phone to his ears.“ Hello Betty,” He called.“ Good morning Allen, how are you doing?” Betty asked over the phone.“ I am doing Good Betty, how are you doing?” Allen replied.“ I am very fine, thank you. Is there any chance we could meet today? I wanted to tell you something” Betty asked.Allen heaved a sigh.It would have been a good thing for him, knowing very well th

    TIME TO LEARNAllen connected the dots for himself.The man he had fought with back in the bush, was the same he had encountered a few minutes ago.Allen thought to himself.It was evident that the man belonged to a gang, and the gang operated in the city, committing a whole lot of crimes in the city.Allen wondered who these people were that made them do what they were doing.However, worry soon hit him as he realized that he had always been fighting without any face mask, and just as he had recognised some of them by face, it was very likely for him to be noticed by any of the people too.This could only mean he was in a deep mess and had to watch his back all along.He heaved a sigh and continued fidgeting with his phone, browsing the previous messages he had received while working and on his way here.He realized that he had received some messages from Betty.“ Hi Allen, How are you doing? I tried calling to check on you but our number was unreachable” The message read.Allen heav

    THE FAMILIAR TATTOOAllen walked as fast as he could from the scene.He had his backpack tucked firmly on his back and went on his journey.In about five minutes, he got to his house.Immediately he entered his house, he heard the beeping of sirens of the police cars from all directions, passing by the estate.Allen heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that the children around could be saved by the police.Although he was not sure whether or not the perpetrators were going to be punished, he kept high hopes that the innocent victims were going to be safe.In the city he was in, it was very easy for the perpetrators to be left alone, especially if they had someone backing them politically or financially.SYSTEM: Mission accomplished, Victims saved, criminals arrested by the police.Mission Reward granted.Allen heard the system say as he walked into the house, and then his phone beeped.Allen secured the door from the inside and went to have a cold shower.He sat down on the couch with his

    MAN WITH A WEAPONAllen opened his eyes.The man with the handkerchief stood in front of him, and, surprising enough, he was still at the scene.It now occurred to him that he had just had a deja vu.It looked like he had been into the future and back.He looked at the man who sat in the car, trying to engage him“Okay, I am sorry to bother you but we are headed towards the hospital. A friend of ours is injured in the back, could you help us, please? We just need you to direct us to the hospital,” the man said, feigning a smile and trying all he could to seem nice.Allen nodded.“ Oh yes, I know there, but are you sure someone is wounded?” Allen asked the man, trying to act nice.“ In five seconds, watch out for the action of the handkerchief; it has sedatives and is intended to make you sleep.”Allen heard the voice.It was now evident to him that he had been to the future, as everything was playing out perfectly.His only problem now was that, in the end, he had been shot and died,

    SEE INTO THE FUTURE.Allen walked hurriedly to the shop where Roland usually bought the items for work.Luckily, he had gone there on several occasions alone to purchase the items, and so the attendants knew him.Allen got to the subway and began his work for the day. He had arrived quite earlier than usual.He had a whole lot of work to do that day as he was alone, and he had to finish on time in order to be able to meet the demands of his customers.Working alone today seemed really weird for him and he felt uneasy doing everything by himself; however, he was able to do it all alone.The first night of working alone went pretty well on his side, and by a half past 10pm, he was already done selling off all his stuff, and that was the same time they were used to closing.His usual customers who had come and had not seen Roland had taken turns to inquire. why he was not there that day, and he had repeated his response over and over again. “ He travelled to check on some things.”.Allen

    SON OF THE SYSTEM, A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN. Allen walked outside and began his journey home.As he walked, he thought about Betty.Betty was a young girl, beautiful and always beaming with smiles.Her communication skills were top notch, and she had an impeccable accent.From Allen's observations, she was very outspoken yet very calm.He could tell from her soft eyes that she was dealing with something silently, especially when she stylishly dismissed the topic about her parents.Allen thought she might have some from a broken home or probably was having problems with her parents.From her demeanour, appearance, lifestyle, and calibre, it was evident her parents were rich, and she was spoiled at a very young age, but still had some morals..Allen noted her way of speech and demeanour.She was just twenty years but acted like a grown woman, which showed that she had gone through some early emotional changes than normal.Allen thought about Betty all the way home.His plans he had planned f

    AN EXPENSIVE GIRLBetty looked up and caught Allen staring at him.“ Have you settled on anything?” Betty asked Allen.Allen shook his head in the negative.“ Okay, I think we should settle for a table instead,” Betty said.Allen did not understand what Betty just said, but he acted like he did.Betty turned to the waitress who was waiting for her.“ Give us the second American table here. Everything inclusive” Betty told the waitress.Alen did not know what table, but looking at the second page of the menu, something caught his attention.There was a list of meals compiled together under one category each and a fixed price, with the reading as Table d’hote.Allen looked through it and was surprised. Food there began from a thousand dollars, and what Betty had just requested was a thousand eight hundred dollars.Allen opened his mouth in shock.He slowly closed the menu and gave it back to the waitress who left to prepare their order.“ Excuse me, Betty, but something is not quite rig
