KEEP IT A SECRET
The 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 to him.He felt some pain in his shoulder where he had received some blows from Jacob's men.Allen put his hand on it and groaned in pain.As he walked, he could hear the shouts of the crowd he had just walked away from.Allen walked hurriedly, trying to get away from the place as fast as he could.He had a wrinkled smile on his face with mixed emotions.System: Mission accomplished Successfully.Reward granted.System Upgrade in progress.Allen heard the system say.He heaved a sigh.He felt his mobile phone beep in his pocket, and he knew it was the alert of the money being credited to his account.“ Where do I get my strength from?” Allen asked the system aloud.He was walking in town but everybody was minding their own business so he was okay talking to himself.SYSTEM: The system is designed to give you strength as you accomplish your missions. You are currently at the bottom of the rank. You will rise harder after accomplishing more missions.Allen heaved a sigh.He felt the pain in his shoulder again, and he grunted.As Allen walked down the streets thoughtfully, he thought about what he was going to do with the system he now had.He could not choose missions for himself, but he could only acquire the strength to complete the missions the system provided.However, he was happy that at least he was not who he used to be.Allen was quite sure that Jacob and his men were going to wonder what had come over him that made him able to beat them so easily.Again, he was pretty sure that Jacob and his men were going to come back for revenge on him, and that was going to be the time he had always waited for.For now, his only happiness was being able to defeat Jacob and his men.As Allen walked on to his workplace with his hands on his shoulders, he thought of a plan he had taken the previous day. He was in plans to hide his newfound system away from everyone.However, it was becoming almost impossible for him because everybody knew him to be a meek boy who was always being bullied, therefore, he was sure it was going to be a strange one when he abruptly started beating people easilyThankfully, his own boss had been teaching him a few tricks in fights the previous day, and that would help him very much in covering up.However, all of these seemed to him like a temporary solution.As he walked thinking of what he was going to do, his shoulder began to hurt him even more louderAllen groaned in pain, not knowing what he was going to doHe knew he was supposed to get a quick first aid for the injury before the case worsened.A healthcare facility was nearby, and without a second thought, he changed his route and headed towards the facility.Allen wondered why he had not felt such pain when he was hit but was feeling its severity afterwards.“ Maybe the strength of the system overcomes the pain of anything,” Allen thought to himself.He walked into the health centre, still holding his shoulder with a squeezed face.The man at the counter saw him holding his shoulder in pain and quickly went over to help him.Allen went with him to a ward where he was taken care of.After they had helped him and the pain had subsided, he heaved a sigh.“ Please, what was the cause of the pain?” Allen asked the young man who attended to him.“ Oh, it was a subluxation of your shoulder joint. Did you get into a fight?” The man asked in return.Allen simply nodded and bowed his head to avoid the man’s face.“ I think you should try as much as you can to avoid fights. The bandage on your hand should last for about three days, after which you should come back so we can assess it.You should not be involved in any serious work that will involve the use of your hands for the period, or it might affect the healing process” the man told Allen.Allen only nodded.Deep down in him, he was thinking.If the system activated any moment within those days of injury, that meant he would have to fight with the injury, and if he decided to ignore the system, he was going to be punished for that, and as far as he was concerned, it was better to fight with an injury than to be punished by the system.The man prescribed some drugs for him, instructing him to get them from the pharmacy that was right opposite the health facility.Allen had to pay for the services, and thankfully, he had no problem in making the payment because of the money he had received from the system as a reward for all the missions he had accomplished.Allen walked out of the facility with the prescription in his hands, heading towards the pharmacy.SYSTEM: System upgrade is done.Last mission for user levelling.Allen heard but did not understand, but that was not a problem for him for at that moment.He had more important things to ask the system at that momentHe had a question for the system at that moment.“ Why did you choose me for power??” Allen asked the system.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
FIRST MISSION FOUNDSYSTEM: System Solution Found. Strength For User Activated. Ready For Mission. Communication with User Established. Allen heard the voice in his head once again.He was now beginning to get worried once again, as that was the third time hearing the voice in his head.“ Who are you, and what do you want from me? Where are you” Allen asked in frustration.SYSTEM; I am a revenge system for righteousness. In your head. You can speak to me anytime you want, but you have to follow my instructions. I will give you tasks to do, and if you are able to do them, you will be rewarded largely.The system replied.Allen was surprised and looked around him to see if anyone else heard the voice he heard.Everyone else was minding their own business, and no one seemed to have heard it.Allen realized he was the only one who was hearing that voice, and that meant that the voice was actually in his head.Allen was still in the town, propelling himself in his wheelchair as he spoke to
