SYSTEM AT WORK
Allen 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 face Allen.The young man who was being beaten, having seen the little chance slowly crawled, tried to escape the place.The people around were all looking on, waiting for what was going to happen next.“ I can see that what we did to you the other day did not bother you, you might receive a double dose of that If you don't leave here this very moment” Jacob threatened Allen with a strict face.“ You wish so. All that i need you to do is to flee for your life with your men. Because I will trash all of you very soon” Allen replied as he folded the arms of the shirt he was wearing, getting ready for a fightHe did not know where he had gotten the sudden courage from, but it was going well, and he was very sure that the system was going to help him, so he did not fear.Jacob looked really astonished and felt disrespected, seeing that Allen talked back at him.System: You have been given the strength to fight. You have the skills to fight.Victim is rescued, offenders need to be humiliated, mission reward is thirty thousand dollars.Allen heard the system say.He knew it was time for him to fight.There were about four boys, and then there was Jacob.He was now about to get into a banter with five men.Allen breathed in heavily and looked at all of the men, who were standing a few metres in front of him.“ How dare you talk back at me? It seems you have forgotten Who I really am. Boys beat him to a pulp” Jacob commanded his boys angrily.Before Allen could say, Jack, two of the four men pounced At him at once.With a force of adrenaline and instinctive thoughts, Allen went down on his knees, escaping the two blows by an inch.He followed up with a punch to one of the guy's stomachs and quickly stood up again.This time, he found himself in the middle of the group.Three men right in front of him with astonished faces, and two men behind him, one with his hands on his stomach, wondering how everything happenedAllen himself was astonished, wondering what he had just done.Everything happened easily within the blink of an eye.Allen stood in the middle of the group, thinking of what he was going to do next.The crowd was cheering on his recent move.For him, he had to find a way out.“ I can see you have some moves now. You think you can beat my men, huh? Hey, you all beat him” Jacob ordered his boys.Allen’s heart began beating faster than usual. He had to quickly find a solution, and a thought occurred to him.All the boys charged at him at once.Allen quickly bowed again to dodge all the blows and then targeted the first man, whom he had given a blow in the tummy.He held the man by his hands and gave him another blow to his neck. Making sure it was a very strong one to disable him.He had learnt that trick from his boss.The blow worked like magic, and the man screamed in pain.He went down on the floor, holding his own neck.It was very obvious that the blow had stiffened his neck.Allen, finding out that his trick had worked, it gave him some confidence.Jacob and the other men were equally shocked, but Allen had no time to be shocked again. He rushed against the second man, giving him a blow to the jaw.The second man was also screaming in pain.All the onlookers began cheering loudly and hailing Allen.The two men standing men rushed towards Allen from opposite sides. Allen ignored one and focused on the other, retaliating It with another blow. The punch landed on the man's face straight away.Allen himself received a heavy blow on his shoulder from the man behind him.Without thinking twice, he turned around and gave a blow to the second man, followed by another.The man's nose broke, and it began bleeding.All the men were down except for Jacob.Jacob charged towards Allen with a blow, but Allen had already launched an attack.The motion of Jacob caused the blow to land straight on his eyes.Jacob had a black eye at the moment.Allen heard a sound behind him.He turned around to see one of the men charged towards him.Allen stood aside quickly and threw a blow instead.The man fell flat on his face and bumped into Jacob on the floor.Allen was the only one standing now as he looked around him.The people around him cheered and clapped loudly for him.Allen looked at Jacob, who had his hand on his eye and was moaning painfullyHe went over and pulled Jacob up by his collar.“ Listen up, boy.This should be the last time I should see you maltreating or bullying someone. If I see you again doing this to somebody else, I will blind both eyes of yours. Do you hear me?” Allen threatened Jacob with a serious face.Jacob nodded in pain as he pleaded for his life.Allen heaved a sigh and left Jacob.He turned around and took two steps. Forward, stopped in his tracks, turned around, and went back.Jacob was looking at him in fright, not knowing what was going to happen next to him.Allen grinned loudly and gave Jacob an uppercut with all his might that left him flying off onto the ground with pain and a loud thud.Jacob screamed loudly.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
SPILL THE BEANSAfter Allen had finished his meal. He sat down for a few minutes and then stood up again to join Roland in serving the customers.Immediately he took his stand, Roland turned to look at him.“ Are you okay buddy?” Roland asked in a concerned tone.Allen smiled and nodded, signifying that he could work.Roland only nodded, and Allen went on with the work with a smile on his face. As 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 white he was there.All through the night, 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.Allen, after thinking so much without finding any solution, gave up and retired to bed after they were done with work.While they
SPILL THE SECRET OF THE SYSTEM The system had come to help him, and he could not afford to lose it by spilling it the secret.He did not know what his master was going to do when he heard that. However, he was not ready to take the chances by letting somebody else in on the secret.As he walked, he had a flashback to the very first day after being beaten by Jacob and his boys when he had the system activated.The system is activated. Installation in process” the voice said.Allen could not tell who had that voice, but at that point, he needed not to find out.All he needed was help to get out of the place.“ Somebody help me!” Allen shouted with all the energy left in him before he passed out.…………..The flicker of lights flashed through Allen’s eyes. He opened his eyes slowly and closed them back at the flash of the bright lights.Alen opened his eyes again slowly and looked at the ceiling. It was a place he did not recognise.The pain in his body was still there, and he could feel i
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
