A PITIFUL BULLY
Allen walked out of the post office, where he had just gone to pick up a letter.Out of joy, he had already opened the paper and knew the contents of the paper.He had just gained admission into the top university of his dreams after excelling in his high school exams.He wore a wide smile as he walked in the busy streets, heading home to prepare for the days ahead.Fortunately for him, his acceptance letter came with a full scholarship.Allen quickened his steps as he hurried down the road. He was on his way to break the good news to his beloved girlfriend.Allen had spoken to his girlfriend before going to the post office to pick up his letter, and he knew that she was going to be glad he had finally gotten the acceptance to the universityAllen walked hurriedly, almost running.As he walked, Allen met a group of boys approaching him.He recognised them at once and slowed down.They were the bullies in the town.Allen had attended the same high school with the bullies and found himself in the same classroom with three of them, including their leader.They had been a thorn in his flesh from the very day Allen entered high school till he graduated.The bullies were all from rich families, and their families were well-to-do.Back in school, they had better clothes and better learning materials than Allen.They had the power to do anything they wanted and always got away with it because their parents were prominent people.Allen ignored the boys who were approaching him and tried to walk past them.The boys intentionally spread themselves and blocked the road.Allen had no other option than to stop right in front of them.“ Hey man, what's up?” The leader of the bully gang, Jacob asked him as he stepped forward.Allen sighed, knowing it was another day for him to get bullied by these rich kids.Allen remained quiet as he watched what was going to happen next.Jacob looked at the envelope in Allen’s hand.“ What's that in your hand?” Jacob asked as he pointed at the envelope and drew closer.Allen glanced at the paper and looked up at Jacob.He knew if Jacob got to know what the content of that envelope was, he was going to take it from him, and it was better to die than to let Jacob get hold of the envelope.“ That is not for me, I was sent” Allen replied calmly and looked at Jacob.“ That is not for you? I want to see what it is, now give it to me” Jacob mimicked Allen's voiceAllen knew it was about to get worse.One way or the other, Jacob was going to insist on getting the paper, and he might be beaten.Yet, if he handed over that paper, he would probably lose the scholarship because Jacob might destroy it.Just as he was thinking of what to say, Allen heard a familiar voice behind Jacob's boys.“ What is going on here?” The tiny female voice asked.Both Allen and Jacob looked in the direction of the voice.A young lady with black silky hair and a smiley face walked forward.She was neatly dressed in a white gown and had a pair of glasses on.The girl was very beautiful with a good shape and voice that complimented her beauty.Jacob smiled widely on seeing the lady, but Allen frowned.Allen saw the girl and knew that it was now going to be worse.The young lady was his girlfriend.Even in the presence of his girlfriend, he knew Jacob was going to bully him, and that was the worst thing he could ever face: being bullied in the presence of his own girlfriend.Jacob was waiting patiently to see the romance between the two love birds before he would interrupt again and bully Allen in front of his girlfriend“ Jasmine, what are you doing here?” Allen asked the lady, faking a smile on his face.The lady frowned on seeing Allen over there.“ I came to tell you something important,” the lady said as she walked closer.Jacob was just watching the two love birds, waiting for the right time to get on with what he was doing and humiliate Allen in front of Jasmine“ What is the problem, Jasmine? I was going to tell you something important, but first, tell me what it is” Allen asked Jasmine.“ I just came to tell you that I want us to break up.Nothing is going well with us in this relationship and I am fed up already, I am moving on with my life and I think this might be the last time you will see me, because I am going out of the country” Jasmine said with a straight face and made to walk away leaving Allen with no time to say anything.“ No wait, Jasmine…” Allen said as he quickly grabbed Jasmine’s shoulderJasmine stopped in her tracks without turning aroundAllen quickly walked in front of Jasmine and began explaining.“ Hold on, Jasmine, please don't leave. I know, but everything is going to be fine I promise, please everything is going to be fine, I have just gained a…” Allen could not finish the sentence as Jasmine shoved him away gently and walked past him, leaving him to his fateJacob had a wide grin on his face as he watched the two.Jacob’s boys were all laughing at Allen, who had suddenly turned into a little boy as he looked so pitifulAllen had heard all the laughs but that was his lowest problem at that time, his main problem was that his beloved girlfriend was leaving him.Allen tried to run after Jasmine, but Jacob quickly stood in front of him, preventing him from going.“ Hey, hold it, where do you think you are going? I am not done with you yet, you pervert” Jacob said as he stopped Allen.Now Jacob and his men were also becoming a stumbling block.With a force of adrenaline, Allen pushed Jacob forcefully with all his strength, and he fell on his back.Jacob fell hard on his back and stood up quickly. He was visibly embarrassed and angry about what Allen had just done to him.Jacob quickly dusted himself off the dust and looked at Jacob with a sore red face.Allen regretted his act at that moment. He knew from that moment that he had messed up and the worst awaited him.Looking around him, he saw all of Jacob’s men looking at him with angry faces.The faces of the men made Allen shiver at that moment.SYSTEM ACTIVATED Jacob quickly stood up from the ground and angrily ordered his boys to beat Allen. Before Allen could realize what was going on, he was already on the floor, and three boys were on him, beating him mercilessly. His envelope was taken away from him by Jacob Allen couldn't help but scream and groan loudly in pain helplessly as the boys hit him on all parts of his body Jacob opened the envelope and took out the letter in it as he opened it. He realized the contents of the letter and got more interested, so he read further. After reading all the contents, he had a mischievous smile on his face. “ Stop!!” Jacob commanded his boys. The boys stopped beating Allen at the command of their leader, and they all turned to look at him. Jacob had a jealous face with a mischievous smile. “ Guess what is here. This loser of a person just got admission to the biggest university in the whole country on full scholarship” Jacob said. All of the boys seemed shocked
SYSTEM AT WORKAllen grinned to himself on seeing Jacob there.Jacob was equally surprised to see Allen there at the moment, knowing very well that with the beating they had given him the previous day, he was supposed to be bedridden at that point in time.“ Stop boys!!” Jacob ordered his boys.They all obeyed his command at once and stopped beating the victim..As they all turned to see Allen staring at them, they all seemed surprised and shocked to see him there.“ I can see you are all surprised to see me here at this moment right” Allen said with a smile on his face.Allen felt quite astonished by what he had just said to Jacob.It was as though that was not what he meant to say.Allen realized that he had gained a sudden spirit of boldness and fearlessness.On a normal day, he was sure he was not going to speak to Jacob and his men in that manner.Jacob and his men were equally surprised to see Allen there and for him to have the guts to say such a thing. All the boys turned to f
KEEP IT A SECRETThe crowd cheered loudly as Jacob fell on the ground with a loud thud.Allen walked in between the mess of men he had created and slowly made his way out of the crowd.The crowd paved the way for him as they cheered him on, and he walked past Them.Allen adjusted his shirt as he walked through the crowd who cheered him on, while others hooted at Jacob and his men.As Allen walked away, he felt his heart pounding loudly, but he knew it was not of fear.The feeling of being able to trash Jacob and four of his men in less than three minutes sent shivers down his spine.He felt a bit of relief wash over his soul and body and a feeling of satisfaction.Although he was still not happy, hoping that he could do something more harmful to them for what they had caused.Allen knew deep within him that he wished he could do something more seriously, just that he wanted to stay out of trouble.But in the meantime, trashing Jacob and his men was the best thing that could ever happen
SYSTEMS FROM TIME IMMEMORIAL Allen asked the question with regard to what he had been thinking of; he wanted to know why the system had just chosen him to be the holder of the power. System: You were given the power because you were the sole owner of it. The power of the system has been embedded in the system for about three hundred years now and was in a necklace. We only needed someone to activate it. The necklace was with you, and it activated. That day, the activation was done, it was your blood that was on the necklace that activated the system. Allen heard the system say. He was quite shocked, and with his hand, he touched the necklace on his neck. Allen was surprised to the core. So it only meant he was still walking because of the necklace. Allen heaved a sigh. The necklace was given to him by his late grandmother. The necklace was actually meant for his mother, but because her mother at that time was busy on the streets, getting herself messed up on drugs. Allen w
USER LEVELLED UP Allen, after calculating his plan in a few microseconds, quickly rushed towards the unsuspecting man and dodged his knife by an inch. He gave the man an uppercut that sent him flying off the ground. The second robber who was taking the money from the pharmacist saw that, and before he could do anything, Allen was already in front of him. The man shook in fear as Allen held his hand firmly and took the knife from him in an instant. The man at the gate rushed towards them, but he was a bit late. Allen already had the man and a knife placed in his throat. “Drop the knife or I'll kill him,” Allen threatened the third man. The man raised his hand in the air with the knife, trying to save his colleague. The first man to receive the punch stood up from the floor. He had also seen the scene. “Drop all the money on the ground,” Allen whispered into the ears of the man he was holding hostage. The man obeyed immediately and dropped all the money on the floor. The thir
EFFECT OF THE SYSTEM Allen walked away and made his way to his workplace For the first time in a long while, Allen felt good about himself. The very thought of having such an amount of money in his bank account was enough to make him happy for the rest of his life. To top all of this, he still had a system that enabled him to fight injustice and crime and paid him after that Within a period of less than thirty-six hours, a lot had happened, and it all felt like a dream to him. It was as though he was in some kind of fairy tale. A whole lot of thoughts were going on in his mind as he made his way ahead. “Does everyone have this kind of system that makes them strong and rich? Or is it only me? Is it that all rich people have this kind of system? Where do all these systems come from, and how did he choose me? Why did it even choose me?. How come I never had this thing before now? Does this system have consequences?” All these questions rummaged through Allen’s mind as he walk
SPILL THE BEANSAs Allen worked through the night with his master, he was deep in thought.He thought of the fact that the system was going to activate while he was still there.All through the evening, he thought about what he was going to do to keep his own identity and the system’s identity apart.He was very quiet that night, and that did not go unnoticed by his master.Every time Roland asked about it, he would just say he was thinking about his current banter with Jacob and his boys.It was getting dark, and the father and son were getting ready to begin with their sales.Allen worked silently with a lot going on in his mind.The hoot of the evening train was heard from far away heading towards them at top speed.“ Are you ready, Allen?” Roland asked Alen as they got ready.“ Yes, we are set,” Allen replied.The two of them sold three different types of foods, hamburgers, nachos, and hotdogs.These three Foods were very popular in their area and highly patronized by the people wh
USER DECLINEDAlthough he maintained a calm face and a good composure as he worked, he was deep down, very scared and wondering what was going to happen next to him.At this point, he felt very uneasy knowing that something was going to happen yet not knowing what exactly was going to happen to him.Allen said a word of prayer silently within him.SYSTEM: Mission failed, User Declined. Reward aborted. Punishment follows immediately.Allen heard that from the system, and his heart skipped a beat.Now, he was certainly going to be punished. In the midst of all of these people, and in the presence of Roland.Allen paused what he was doing, knowing very well that in a few seconds, something bad was going to happen to him.He gritted his teeth and remained steady for what was going to happen next.SYSTEM PUNISHMENT Allen wondered what punishment he was going to receive from the system this time as he waited for the worst.Within a few seconds, he felt a tingly feeling in his waist, followi
